the SMALLER NATIONS.
The revolt In Ireland, the rape ot
Belgium, the executions in Bohemia,
the misery In Poland, the rofeat ot
riervia and the obliteration of Mon
tenegro excite attention to the pro
blem which in the progress of the
world's history the smaller nations
present.
It may be very true that many ot
these races are distinct and incom
patible with the nations which gov
ern or control them, but obviously
also their existence as compact an 1
independent national existences is a
menace to the peace of the world.
Moreover waiving aside sentiment
al considerations as to the national
hopes and ambitions of these lesser
countries, it is hardly a doubtful
matter that the :*.3smilation of them
by the greater nations which at any
rate control them, would be lor the
bon (It of themselves and the world
at large.
No person can hesitate to say that
Belgium would better off as an in
tegral part of the German empire
than as an independent and very
ineffective buffer state it lias been
right along. The working people
would fare better and the conditions
of living in that over crowded na
tion would lie infinitely superior to
what they were in ante helium days.
Reluctantly too, it may be con
fessed, that did the Irish accept
their portion as a part of the Itiitisii
empire much as Scotland has done
and as the colonies have done, con
ditions would improve for all con
cerned. That this would mean a:i
inglorious suppression of the na
tional impulse and the national
hopes and national ambitions can
have nothing to do in a considera
tion of this problem.
Furthermore Bohemia different in
rare and language to the German!,
nation which controls its destiny
would be infinitely better off if il
accepted its lot and made the best
of it as a section and by no meant
an unimportant section of the Aus
trian empire.
So also with the -Balkan states
There has been nothing but trouble
and strife since their autonomy be
came an accomplished fact, and al
though at that their condition vat
no worse than it was while Turkey
dominated the country, none the let,;
it was also infinitely worse than i
would have been had au Austria!
rule covered the entire Balkan Pe
ninsula, Greece not oven excluded.
The fact of the matter is tlia
there arc too many smallof races am
smaller nationalities, and the world -
progress is infinitely interrupted by
the varying ideals of patriotic senti
ment that is provoked by tbeir ex
istence. Wore all of Europe unde,
one Hag and one compact nation liui
tho United States of America, pro
gre.s and democracy would soon be
come its watchword. As it is nov
patriotism in one consists in a grea
measure in being ready to fly at th
other's throat, and national differ
ences and national animosities ent
<t[- ,,i iho crimson of the battlefields
ke-'tying mankind apart. Some da
th * brotherhood of man will be no
i.n imaginary thing, but will be i
i- jltly and an aecomplshcd fact. B;
th ; division of the world into an inti
nit • number of heterogeneous sec
tiout called nations, of varying size
a’l.l varying ambitions and varyln
sE«i*intents and varying hopes an*
varying systems of government, th
lu- I ,* politic is torn with disscnsioi
throughout the world and the cans
i f human brotherhood is indofinitel
set back.
THE BLONDE BOSS.
The acquittal of the blonde boss
ex-s -uator Lorlmer, In Chicago of th
chargo of bank wrecking, for a fleet
jug minute turns public interest t
this somewhat startling figure in th
national drama before bis final ext
behind the scenes.
Loriiner built up a political career
from that of a news boy and shoe
black in the Windy city out of sheer
ability and acuteness of intrigue.
His breaking his way into the Sen
ate was sensational in the extreme
but only because his methods were
a little more brazen and more dam
aging by their openness than those
which were practiced by quite a
number of his colleagues. Lorimer
in those days was famous. He hau
money, he was always welcomo. He
was the invited guest at the most
plutocratic mansion in Chicago and
high and prominent republicans
were pleased to be seen sharing his
company and receiving his smiles
The world looked mighty good to
Lorimer and Lorimer looked mighty
i good to the great world of rich men.
But there came a time when aftei
his removal from the Senate the
bank of which he was head also
went under and Lorimer at the time
of his trial appeared without a
'single one of his friends beyond his
1 former secretary Monaghan who re
fused to desert him.
The very papers which had upheld
him as a politician, howled for Ids
punishment as a hank wrecker aim
yet of all the guilty ones who
wrecked many banks in the Windy
city, Lorimer alone was guilty mere
ly of neglect of work as President.
His acquittal was a foregone con
clusion, but that didn't prevent tin:
f interests which he had upheld turn
ing upon him like a pack of blood
,1 hounds clamoring for his punish
ment. Surely tho methods of Pig
1 Business arc not attractive.
FOOD Pi nt HASH DECLINE.
The announcement by the govern
ment that food purchases by the
European nations in America have
been showing a marked decline ts
peculiar in view of the fact that
notwithstanding that, food prices in
the United States have been steadily
rising.
1 The excuse that much food was
being shipped to Europe was a fine
reason for those controlling tho food
supply to increase its domestic price,
and it will remain after the reason
for that rise has vanished.
Tobacco increased in price when
the Spanish American war tax was
placed upon it, but long after that
war and the tax were forgotten, to
i bacco still carried the increased
j charge due to it.
I So with food. Give the food trust
I a reason for an increase once in a
while; not much of an excuse, just a
little bit of a one, and they are go
ing to keep on stretching the price
to the maximum long after them
selves and the easy going public ol
consumers have forgotten why it was
increased at all. That’s the system
Gouge as much as you can, for pro
fits are the life df trade, and Got
hates a dead one.
It may be held that the Foot
Trust has no particular monopoly
of this policy and that is certainly
correct.
In fact, it is the system that every
' one stands for; Profits and profit
making prosperity. It comes fron
[ labor and because labor endures this
' siort of thing with relatively smal
murmur, wo may take it that it ii
entirely satisfactory.
The periodical kicks and grumb
’ ling that is recorded merely add :
! zest to the little game, and even i
good camel grunts when the burdet
is placed upon him just because o:
’ the fact that he is a beast o
' burden.
