ENTITLED TO IT.
A measure that should be adopted by Congress is that in
troduced in both houses providing that Civil war volunteer of
ficers shaU be placed' upon the retired list with annuities equal
to half of the salaries received by active officers of equal
rank. Tin' provisions of the measure require that those re
ceiving such annuities shall have served at least six months
and shall have honorable discharges.
Many of the veteran officers, now in the evening of life,
are in want. More of them are old men—-few are less than 70
years of age. Those who led the brave battalions that gave a
baptism to this nation are entitled to this recognition and pe
cuniary help.
LET’S STAND PAT ON THE NAMES.
In the United States note to Austria, given out for publi
cation, Secretary Lansing still refuses th give the names ot the
Ancona victims, as requested by the Vienna foreign office.
All along, it has been clear that the Austrian diplomats
thought it would be a master stroke for them to have it go on
the record that America was taking up the cudgels for citizens
with such names as Polativo, Laureno and Torrisi
For our part an American is an American, whether his
name is Jones or Brown or Lamura. If Austria’s border
troubles with Italians have left her with bitterness for them,
that feeling certainly should find no reflection here. What
probably are Austria’s views — but what certainly are not om
its own in this regard—were outUned in her answer to our note.
The true-blue American way would be for Secretary Lan
sing to give the names and' stand “pat.” One citizen is as good
as another under the Stars and Stripes.

HENRY FORD’S HOME-COMING.
Poor Henry Ford. There are some things money can not
buy. Money can not buy knowledge. It can not buy grasp. It
can not buy intellectual influence- It only can buy food, rai
ment, shelter and bodily comforts. It can not buy health nor
intellectual wealth. It can not buy refinement; indeed, it
often buys its antithesis.
Mr. Ford went to Europe with the highest motives, no
doubt. He believed that the very force of the personalities on
board the Oscar II would bring to pass his soul’s desire. He
did not count upon, if lie knew of its existence, the pride of
other civilizations. He did not calculate the deep causes of
war. He did not comprehend the intensity of feeling. Europe
laughed at him and his fellow evangels. It looked upon them
as a band of Don Quixotes spearing at adamant with tooth
picks- It received the mission as an exemplification of Ameri
can cockiness* which every now and then breaks out in the
wrong places.
The war is a war of quarreling peoples, not of quarreling
kings. Much deeper than the Serbian murder of a more or
less good for nothing prince the causes lie. Forces of infinite
ly greater power than a shipload of American Fords will end
it, but no man will guess when.
Ford at the least can be credited with bravely carrying
to its consummation a noble hope. He had an idea on which
he based a profound faith and he followed it. That is the test
of character.
--:o:
The difference between possibility and probability is never
so strongly emphasized as during the preliminary stages of a
presidential campaign. Nearly every state has a possibility,
few have probabilities.
-:o:
Henry Ford has promised' to build a peace palace in
Copenhagen, as if the expenditures of Andrew Carnegie at The
Hague were not already a sufficient monument to the pigeon
that won’t live in it
--:o:
Mr. Bryan lias decided not to follow the Ford trail. A\ ith
the great opportunities of a speaking campaign .just opening
at home why should be seek fields that are hazardous?
-:o:
Illness of General Huerta, who refused to salute the Ameri
can flag while dictator of Mexico, shows that the United States
has its revenge in proving unsalutary to him.
-;(l:
If we can find the man who originated and put through
the peace plan to end' the baseball war we’re going to dispatch
him to Europe to succeed Henry Ford
-:0:
Just to show the Russians that they couldn’t beat him in
mobilizing the alphabet the kaiser took zellewebentzuendung.
---:o:
It seems to be a fair assumption to say that the war at
least has got under the kaiser’s skin.
-:o:
If the Germans succeed in taking the Suez canal what a
boom it will be for our own ditch!
