MENTAL INDIGESTION.

(New Republic.)
In most of us there Is an undercut1- !
i t ut of uncertainty which we never i
!new before, an apprehension which 1
stirs us vaguely and darkly. The mng- I
nitude. of the task of digesting the
world's news seems to have stunned j
our thinking, to have lowered tho vital j.
i ne of our minds. We run to brood- i.
■ M over military events and neglect i
i lie intellectual labor of adjusting our- i.
selves to the events before us. One 1
example will suffice. We have seen ;
th price England is paying for her
industrial mistakes; w-e have seen the j
Tolly of her class-ruled industry com
pound on the battlefields of Europe; |
ws havs witnessed the agony of a |
nation spiritually unprepared for mod- j

It, w* have dona no single thing to
remedy the Identical diseases In Am

pened, as If nothing were to be learn

The bitter fact is that our educa
tion is too poor, our leisuro too short,
our Work too crowded, for any ser
ious grappling with tho questions
which every day’s newspaper sots be
fore us. Tho meat Is too strong for
our unexpected digestions. Our boast
that public opinion governs tho world i
sounds like vacant mockery. Public
opinion is created out of the opinions
of newspaper readers, and those read
ers have not the teeth to make even
a dent upon the tough issues of our

NEW BEEF SUPPLY.
i Providence Bulletin.)
i ii« occasional inclusion of beef us'
part of the cargoes recently arriving
in New fork from Brazil Indicates a
new and possibly an important source
l food supylle* eventually tor this
country- Before the opening of the
war last year Argentine beef and Aus
lwilan mutton had begun to supple
ment the domestic supply of beef. Re
latively it was not a large addition to
the country's requirements for food,
out it gave promise of increase. The
wnr. wllli the European market, ut
once diverted this business uway from
American porta. At the same time it
increased the demands of the United
sautes for outside food supplies. The
...si republic V Brazil, which has
rcely scratched the surface of Its
productive area, undoubtedly is worth
.he consideration of the beef packing
interests of this country, (southern
Biazll, In the subtropical region, Is said
to he well titted for grazing purposes ■ ■
and to possess native business men ol ;
ability to handle the new trade witli i
this country. With the present small
beginnings along this line capital has
been furnished both by Americans and 1
Brazilians. But capital Is not plentl- |
fill In Brazil, and if the beef export Is
to be on a large scale the backing of
the wealthy beef interests In this |
country doubtless will be needed and !
obtained.
REGULATING OUR TRADE
iSeattle P.-I.)
There is something humiliating in
the knowledge that In certain direc
tions the trade of the United States
is entirely at the mercy of other coun
tries; that they are in a position to
dictate to us what wo can buy and
where we can sell our own products
and to limit ua strictly to the ob
servance of the rules which they lay
down for us. Cotton affords one ex
ample. Rubber is another.
For example, the American Express
Company having agreed to ship no
more crude or manufactured rubber
to neutrnl countries, the English gov
ernment has been graciously moved
to permit American manufacturers of
rubber to do business.
Last November an embargo was
placed upon the export of any rubber
from British possessions This was
modified in January for the bonefit of ,
American manufacturers, to the ex
tent that they were permitted to pur
chase what they needed, provided that
they would agree to sell no crude or
manufactured rubber to any other
countries, belligerent of neutral, save
through British intermediaries. The
Rubber Club was formed for the pur
pose of making this bargain.
The American Express Company as
serted its normal right to carry on Us
business with neutral countries as
