■■ ■■■■■!.
People are asking: “Is Germany stirring up the Mexican
hive to sting Uncle Sam in the back to keep him occupied at
home?”
President Wilson's rest is frequently arrested. His job
just now is as busy as that of the proverbial one-armed paper
hanger with hives.
Senator-elect Penrose, of Pennsylvania, is drafting a tariff
bill and there is a faint whiff of suspicion that Col. Roosevelt
•won’t support it.
Labor Day is coming on apace and' the collier Prothemus,
with its crew of several hundred men, will be here next week to
remain a couple of months, and no definite plans formulated
for a celebration or series of base ball games.
The United States has only 12,000 men to send to the border
to reinforce the 17,000.there. It emphasizes how pitifully un
prepared we are. An engagement of 29,000 men in Europe
scarecly would be worth a line in the cable dispatches.
German invention seems to be thriving on war. Now it is
announced that paper-making without cellulose has been dis
covered, which will give an abundant supply at lower prices,
and a “scrap of paper” will be still less significant.
Kee Cwyang, Chinese commissioner to the Panama-Pacific
exposition, denounces the Chinese exclusion act, and declares
it is as difficult for an Oriental to get into the United' States as
to get into heaven. Still, he ought not to kick—he holds the
Kee.
Texas invaded? Maybe the Mexicans, from whom it was
taken in the ’40’s, think they can recapture it. The Mexican
general of that-day, Santa Ana, had a wooden leg; verily, we
believe that Carranza, the Mexican general of this day, has a
wooden head.
Denouncing what it calls a “debauch of speculation,” the
Financiol Chronicle calls on the New York Stock Exchange to
stop it and protect its good name; it ought to be protected, of
course, but there’s a lot of the boys whoVI like to get in on the
war-order profits.
The Russians are growing more fearful that Germany’s
real objection is Petrograd, which the kaiser probably wouldn’t
care for so much if its name had not been changed. It would'
be an aigrette in the kaiser’s silver hat if lie could rename it
St. Petersburg, and he is likely to do it.
It is reported that much of the Russian ammunition is mere
“rubbish,” and this is attributed to German spies in Russian
factories. The Russians seem contented with almost any ex
cuse for their inefficiencies. Perhaps German spies were in
Russian factories when “rubbish” was shipped to czar’s sol
diery in Manchuria in the Russo-Japanese war. The same in
efficiency and graft was then in evidence.
The slowness of the coming of the railroad, the disappoint
ment, the unexpected delays, all of these things are seemingly
the inevitable obstacles which prevent the securing of quick
possession of all things that are worth having. Have you ever
expected anything that you longed for eagerly and* have you
ever got it without so^ie disappointments or delays! Isn’t it
curious?
There is money coming. The date is fixed for its arrival.
You go to get it and, alas, you are told that there is a hitch.
Wait around the corner for the best girl. She promised to be
there at 8 sharp. Does she show up on time? Nix. You
have property sold at a good figure and the time is appointed
tor the transfer but at tin* last moment the other side finds some
flaw in the title. You strike a rich paystreak and next day yon
have a lawsuit on your hands. Such is life.—Seward Gateway.
—-:o:
1 lie New lork Sun thinks the years of “fatuous, inconsis
tent,unconstitutional, disastrous trifling” with Mexico have
about ended; the “mistaken judgment” and “ inefficient diplo
macy” of the Washington administration to be succeeded by a
new chapter. Forward! Let the make-up man carry the old
ag! Those who have been reading the New York pagers on
Mexico and Europe in recent months are convinced beyond
doubt that for calm, deliberate and efficient action with lasting
results, the thing tp be done is relinquishment of international
into one and it still can scarcely surpass a one day’s issue of the
pencil, one more extra edition, one more blatantly bellicose
editorial, and, presto! peace, pork and publicity in protuberant
bales for a distraught public. It is an American habit to ridi
cule the “country press;” but roll all its year’s wildly soplio
moric utterances, its half-digested theories and* its radicalisms
into one ande it still can scarely surpass a one-dav’s issue of the
New York newspapers.
