THERE IS an old saying to the effect that wonders never couse but the
reverse is just as true. Wonders soon cease.
One month ago we should have thought
WONDERS SOON CEASE a war of the dimensions of that which is
now being waged would have afforded an
eternal source of wonder but the fact really is that we are beginning to re
gard if as something which belongs to the Regular order of things. Six
months from this day. if it is still going on. we shall read ot it as we n-ad
the daily routine in congress. The “pomp and circumstance” of war will be
converted into the misery of its effects and t»» the gallantry and pageanti>
will succeed the dragging of unwilling conscripts to the colors.
Patriotism is a beautiful thing but it seldom flourishes on an empty
stomach. To the soldiers the war will become entirely wearisome without
possessing the attractivene s which appeals to the youthful minds in the be
ginning. Men will begin to learn that a uniform does not make a man a
greater hero than if h. \ ore overalls ami they will also learn that the com
missariat is mon powerful than the arti*ieij in its i .‘suits.
The newspapers will grow tired of relating heroic deeds. The actions
which appealed to the imaginations in the beginning will grow sere and yel
low by repetition and the conflict will deteriorate into a sort of bloody tug of
w -ip wftcre weight alone wi,. tel. I rovidence is usually on the suit ot laigt
batallions” said the great and cynical Napoleon who meant, of course, that
victory comes to him who can maintain the greatest force.
\Ve can look on the phenomena of the heavens every day of our lives with
out wontiering in tht ■ •st« lhey are customary anti theit'fore nothing to
Pother about. i*o will tin war become ami so will it tliag out its It ngtbill
ing chain" of m.Miy. A 'ter a time the echo of tht charge of cavalry will give
way to the charge that contractors are supplying the soldiers with rotten
meat, ami the boom t : art cry will be forgotten in the boom in tho price of
wheat.
IT IS MORK than probubU that the government could recover the expense
of opening the Mutanuska coal tields before the close of the present war it
it opened them at once. British ships and others
OPEN THE I'OAI. that have been engaged in the work of hauling
coal from various parts of the earth cannot
travel now so freely. Thousand and thousands of men in European countries
who hud been engaged in digging toal are engaged in war. American ships
are free to enter any port in the world and could make markets for American
coal as they are going to make markets for other American commodities.
The great navies of the powers will use tremendous quantities of coal and
the price is aurc to go very high should the great war last a few months, and
the chances are that it will last for years a.> neither of the nations engaged
can quit w ithout stepping out of the class of ruling powers.
Before the coming of the winter the government could have tin' nation
secured from lack of coal if it only went to work. Is it possible to bring this
fact home to the minds of the people of Washington? If it is it sure/iy ought
to be done.
