MAKING BEST OF THINQ8
(.Detroit Free Prose.;
The safe way 1* to accept and moke
the beet of conditions serene In the
faith that right and betterment are on
the way. Two examples of the aged
negro of the old story la worth remem
bering. “Why did you Join the church?"
asked an acquaintance of the old fel
low. "You don't pretend to know any
thing of a hereafter, do you?” “No,"
replied the old man, "I don't pretend
to pussonaly know anything exceptin'
that If there la a hereatfer, I'm on the
safe side, and If there lent’ any such
a thing I’m not going to lose any
thing anyway."
FAIR CHANCE FOR ALL.
(Leslies.;
In every other country a man is en
tilled to everything he can honeetl>
and fairly accumulate, lie may dis
cover a mine that makes him rich,
ne may strike an oil well that brings
nlm a fortune, ills farm lu the sub
urbs of a city may. by the growth ul
the latter, become enormously valua
ble as city lots and eurlch him to the
i-Atent of millions; an humble work
man may establish a business of his
own and by his energy and efficient;;
develop It Into a magnificent anu
profitable enterprise, a lowly fisher -
man may become the owner of a fish
ing fieri and honestly earn a fortune
On all of these the Iron hand of an
Inheritance tax that shall despoil tbj |
winner of his earnings beyond a mil
lion dollars will be paid if Industrial
Commissioner Walsh can have his !
war.
QEORGIA'8 JOB.
(Itlchmond Times-Dispatch.)
Individuals and organizations out- {
side the state of Georgia who ate con
templating oiganized effort to bring
to Justice the murderers of Leo Frank
should keep their hands of! and leave
Georgia's vindication to the honor und
manhood of Its own people. To prof- I
fer assistance In this matter would be!
a mistake, certain to result In more I
than good. * * • If the men who have !
trampled on justice are to be punish
ed, If the blot is to be washed from
the fair name of the state, Georgia
must do the work. Outsiders cannot
help and they may mar. There is
plenty of determination within the
state. As the Atlanta ojurnal says,
the lynchers "must be dealt with ac
cording to the soberest and sternest
and speediest processes of thO law;
otherwise we had as well confess
there Is no virtue in our institutions.”
That la the spirit in which what is best
in eOorgia's cltizenshp approaches
this difficult and dangerous but vitally
necessary task. We have faith that
tt will suffice.
GERMANY'S TARIFF.
(The Protectionist.)
The war In Europe Is regarded here
us furnishing strong proof of the bene
fits of a protective tariff.
Germany has the most complete pro
tection for her industries of any coun
try in Europe. The result of that pol
icy has enabled her to hold her own in
this war. She has entirely lost her1
foreign trade, and is shut out from
both imports and exports. But under j
tho system of protection imposed by i
Bismarck, first in 1879, the country is
not only able to support herself, but
so far shows no signs of distress. Her
army is wonderfully efficient, and tho
fighting has nearly all been done on
foreign soil. She supplies all of her
own wants. Free trado England was
lees prepared for tho fray than any
other country, except Belgium, and
England was the only freo trado coun
try. though Belgium had a low tariff.
According to Lord Lansdowne, of the
British cabinet, England on July 13,
had only 420,000 men "In tho Euro
pean war theater," and she has made
tremendous eflforts to get even that
number. That Is a small showing
when ll is considered that in an arti
cle written by Austin Harrison and
printed in the London Times, the
casualties caused by the war up to
July 4 aggregated 9,000,000 in killed
wounded and prisoners, excluding
Turks and Italians.
EXPANDING TRADE.
(Seattle i 4t-JntelUgeno«r.)
It is difficult i i ecu how this coun
try can fail to enjoy a general pros
perity under the influence of the enor
nous exportations of the year, so far
as it has advanced. These have stead
ily increased since last January, and
here Is evidence of further and even
greater increase in the immediate fu
ture.
According to the department of com
■rce, our exports of breadstuffs dur
ing the first seven months of 1914
were valued at $91,000,000; for the first J
seven months of 1915 the shipments I
amounted to $343,000,000. Meat and '
diiirx products, in the same compare -
Ive period, rose from $71,800,Out) to
’.55,250,000. Cotton exports rose from
(.700.uuu hales to 5,900,000 bales, corn
i'.ports Increased seven fold; oats
sixty-flve fold; wheat exports Increased
from 55.800,000 bushels to 123,200,000
bushels. Canned beef increased from ;
$1,900,000 to $56,200,000, while fresh |
beef exports rose from $3,800,000 to !
$ 163,000,000. Bacon hams and lard.
P- rk anil oils and gasoline all showed
large gains in export demand.
Adjustment in New Vork of the ex
isting negotiations for European loans
is likely to have a stimulating effect
i i the markets. The balance of trade
has been strongly against Europe the
past year. Its gold has come to Am
t i lea in increasing hulk. It Asks
credit on the strength of nstlonal
honor and resources, and this It Is
likely to receive from the hands of
hankers whose only worry Is over the
congested treasuries.
The country Is probably entering a
period of great Industry In which
every phase of business should enpny
share of prosperity.
"AMERICA MU8T PREPARE"
(Everybody’s.)
It is a fact, a world-fact, proved by
every scrap of American history, past
and present, that the American people,
far from abandoning the Monroe doc- 1
trine, will never event relax it. But this j
world-fact is today confronted by a
certain other world-fact of equal mag
nitude. And that is that Africa and
Asia have be en "aranged, ’ divided,
finished, and that therefore the weaker
parts of South America have now be
come the one last grout ungrubbed
prize for the nntions which believe in
the military rivalry idea, and which
believe in the governing-and-govemed
Idea, and which nro nmpli equipped to
carry those ideas forward into action.
These two world-facts nro In collision.
Again we have world-facts. The
Land-Hunger of the Japanese, thefr
justifiable and relentless Land-Hun
ger, is a world-fact. But the Race
Ropulsion, the inevitable Race-Repul
sion betwoen its and them in the samo
land is also i world-fact. They are
right for them We arc right for us.
The two rights, the two facts collide.
Do we therefore expect war? We
do, if— But only if— We expect war
if, through our treaty-trusting Tael
