S SEh R A TASK WELL DONE. Chief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court has labeled the outcome of the crisis with Germany as ."the greatest diplomatic achieve- ment of the United States in a genera- tion.” That is about the final word an the subject, and to President Wil- son must go the greater part, if not all of the glory. It is a signal vic- won after many months of patient toil, without heat, without stirring unnecessary rancor in the breasts of those supremely interested. It is not for Americans to gloat over the outcome, not to speak in bragga- docio spirit 'of the achievement. The thing is done and the glory and hohor of the United States have been held. No more could be desired. Ger- many, it is expected, will make due reparation, as far as possible, for the lives and property of Americans lost on the merchantmen ‘sent to the bottom by her This will put an end ta the whole dis- mal affair, as far as our internation- al relations are concerned. But there is another phase of the situation which must consider in away tory, up- wantonl submarines. Americans themselves and that is in relation to the presi- dential campaign of 1916. The name of Woodrow Wilson will be para- mount when the various parties are casting about for a pilot for the ship of state. Already the friends of the President khave set about to groom him for the race. Advices from the national cap- ital are to the effect that leaders of the Democrat there are con- finent of the renomination of Wood- row Wilson. There is really nothing startling in that, where is the man living who hasg done bigger, bet- ter or greater things than this same Woodrow Wilson? The entire nation owes him a debt of gratitude on this day. And the Democrats in the Tenth Congressional District of Wisconsin hsve paved the way in endorsing his actions. At a mass meeting called for the purpose of arranging for the 1916 campaign they unanimously ap- proved of Woodrow Wilson. The same thing happencd in Kentucky. In state convention assembled the Kentuckians lost no time in fixing on the name of Wilson. But with all this, the President has expressed him- neither one way or the other. He is reticent on the subject, and there are many whc believe he will not make any personal effort to get the nomination, or to run for office. That is the true spirit of Woodrow Wilson. Never the self-seeker, rather the sought-after. And the people of the United States arc going to seck him for their leader during the tur- bulent times ahead. They want Wood- row Wilson he has strated what he can do. He has been through the fire. Democrats, Republicans, sives, all, will what to Wilson's things go the months as they have year there can be the outcome of the There at present strong Wilson.

In his own country, in the land of pillage and bloodshed, Pascual Oroz- | co, was a hero, a patriot, a savior, a statesman, 4 man of honor. Stepping acrass the dulcet waters of the Rio Grande into the American Texas this same Orozco became at once a bandit and a horse thief. He suffered an ignominious death for the few who state of latter crime, and there will regret his gaing, this great man, this good man, this leader of his people.

For the first time it can be said that America leads all other nations in the outgoing trade. Not only this; America is increasing that lead as the war goes on. Our export trade suffered severely in the early months of the war. It is now ad- vancing in an extraordinary manner, while the European export trade suf- fers more and more, and Germany's most of all. This leadership among the nations in supplying the world's markets will in all probability be held after the war. Europe can never recover its old supremacy in this respect unless American manu- facturers and exporters go to sleep.— New York World. Military and naval secrets have been made public in such a way that it is evident that some of the spies have managed to get places in gov- ernment offices. It is known that foreign governments are better in- formed regarding our state of unpre- paredness than are our own people. These governments would not go to the expense of hiring these emissaries if the ibility of an attack upon our coast were not more than a dream, but it seems that the admin- istration at Washington is blind to the fact, since no perceptible progress is being made in the strengthening of our defenses. The “sissies” who are worrying so much lest this nation became militarized might profitably remember that the United States hires na spies to operate in foreign coun- tries. There is reason to believe that we are the only great nation which has this distinction.—Kingston 1 man. Making a Perfect World. (Waterbury Democrat.) ‘An earnest prohibition worker of Fnglewood, N, J., has written a letter apparently quite serious—to a New York newspaper in which he says: “I regard the anti-liquor crusade as merely the beginning of a much iarger movement—a movement that will have as its watchward “‘efficiency by government.” If I had my way I would not only close up the saloons and race tracks. I would close all tobacco shops, confectionery stores, cdelicatessen shops and other places where gastronomic deviltries are pur- veved—all low theaters and bathing beaches. I would forbid the selling of gambling devices such as playing cards, dice, checkers and chess sets; 1 would forbid the holding of social- istic, anarchistic and atheistic meet- ings: I would abolish dancing; I would abolish the sale of tea and coffss and T would ferbid the making or sale of pastry, ple, cake and such like trash.” If that is what the prohibition movement is leading up to, most sober citizens will be dis- posed to lend less support to pro- hibition. We're not quite ready vet to have mora! and dietry perfection thrust upon us. Most of us want a little liberty to amuse ourselves, and even to abuse ourselves. The trouble with such extreme reformers is that they're trying to spced up human virtue by sitting on the moral safety valve. If a normal man were for. bidden to drink, smcke, go to shows, play cards, dance, drink coffee and cat pie, how long would it be before scmething would bust? And how Jong would any community stand such repression without exploding For the sake of true reform, the pro- hibitionists would do well to restrain such fanatics.

In the early days of the automo- bile the headlight was not a particu- larly troublesome obstacle to safe driving. One met an automobile in the dark only occasionaly and if necessary could turn out and wait while it went by. As automobiles have increased the brilliancy of the light rad been intensified and now at night on most roads, many of them with dazzling lights and few of which can be dimmed as they go by. Ac- cidents on this account are happen- ing with greater frequency. , Lawrence G. Brooks, secretary of the Massachusetts Highway Safety League, says that several state asso- ciations connected with the automo- bile trade and the regulation of au- tomobile traffic, have been consider- ing this matter in a conference and have recommended the IHighway Commission to pass a regulation to re- quire all searchlights and headlights to project their rays not over four feet from the ground: also to illumi- nate the road from 6 to 10 feet to the side of the machine at a paint 10 feet in front of it. He says the commit- tee, after many experiments, decided that this would keep the light out of the eves of pedestrians, horses and operators approaching and that the result could be obtained with very little expense and inconvenience. Tt what he claims is true some- thing like this ought to he compul- sory whatever the expense and incon- venience. Connecticut Apples. (Bridgeport Telegram.) J. H. Hale of Glastonbury was the man who bhlazed the way for modern peach-growing in Connecticut. Who will be the man to bring apples into their own as a Connecticut orchard product ? It is true that this state produces today, just as it produced peachos before the advent of Mr. Hale; but it @id not produce the best peaches in great quantities until Hale demon- strgted how it could be done: nor dqoes it today do justice to its possibilitics in'the apple line. Western apple raisers, by aggressive tactic and modern orcharding | method have made their product | known from one end of the nation to ! the other. Apple day in Oregon is a patriotic festival second only to the Fourth of July. Trade-marked names of apples have heen widely advertised and promoted, in order to foster the demands for these western apples, and enormous quantities are sold, And vet the Western apple is fake. 1t is nothing but a fraud. It has a smooth, beautiful, rosy ex- terfor and a mcaly, pasty, dry-as- sawdnst interior. The Oregon apple has nothing about it to remind one of that delicious, fragrant, acidulons flavor of a juicy, crisp Connecticut apple. Tastern apples could sweep the hoards, provided that they werc raised with the same intelligent or- cnarding methods, and pushed with the same hustling publicity as their Skookum cousins from the West. a None But Americans, (New York Evening Post.) The v we really feel about war has been shown again at the launch- ing of “Big BIill" Edward’s boom for sheriff. One of the speakers de- clared that in existing circumstances we need an “‘American” sheriff, in the sense of native-born.

(Bridgeport Post.) These are trying days for Hartford. What of indus- tries to other and more Inviting local- ities, the threatened decline of poli- tical influence and the general con- trariness which threatens more and 110re to throw the city the class of being “nothing hut a capital city” of the Trenton, Albany Harrisburg, Concord class, the lot of a Hartfordite like that of the policeman in the Pirates of Penzance, is not a happy one. Hence it is that they grab at straws to gain a measure of delight. This disposition to be “pleased with a_rattle” is disclosed by the vener- able Hartford Courrant as It talks about the new Hartford directory and concludes from it that the head of sloop navigation has a population of 138,132, No one will begrudge Hartford its momentary joy. It has been trying to flgure up a great and growing in- crease in population for many years, only to have the deadly accurasy of the United States counter ‘“throw it back” for an average loss of from ten to twenty thousahd at every tackle. That Hartford is unhappy has long been apparent to the State. Little things show it. The grasping at straws reveal it The deadly fear haunts the town that it will sink into oblivion and be little more than the memory that it was born among the first of the “little republics” which make up the commonwealth, But it cught to cheer up, if in no other thought, than on the one that it fool- cd the rest of the State into paying out something like four millions to help halt the threatened decline. With a steady loss The North and the South, (Meriden Record.) Many people of the South has na- turally resented the attitude of the North in regard to the Frank case, but not many have gone to the length of a certain correspondent to the New York World who said, among cther things: “Be not deceived, we beseech you, for we think we can hear the roar of Abe Lincoln's first cannon shot that was hurled against the wall of liberty of the Revolutionary Fathers, But Abe Lincoln's rebellion would never have been able to tear it down children, with a damage to property which is considerable but unreckoned. This outcome of 1% night raids of the mightest of airships, armed with Ligh power hombs, is not, compared With what might has been expected, terrible, but it is the needless waste of 89 lives. It is not war, according '_f' civilized standards. It is just kil- iing. . Praises New Britain. (Stamford Advocate.) New Britain, by what looks very like superior judgement and enterprise, lias got away from Hartford a very desirable industry, the Automobiie Parts Company, employing 230 peo- ple, mostly in skilled labor, and a yearly wage distribution of $1 000 -—with a strong probability of a large increase in that amount, based on the faet that the concern’s output in- creased 300 per cent. within the last seven months. The immediate cause of the move to New Britain is stated by a Hartford paper to be that the Chamber of Commerce of Hartford ock in the building company that was to erect a plant for it, while the company was unwiiling to do more than furnish the site. It looks as if the Hartford folks were slack in this Instance. However, New Britain is not a bad place to make hardware in. . Gives Up Job. (Bridgeport Standard.) George Ade, the author of “Fablcs in Slang” and other works of a hum- orous character, declares that he has abandoned the field of slang to “Bil Sunday, the noted revivalist, because he cannot compete with him in that sort of thing.

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield. Ohio, writes as follows in the current issue of that publication: “‘Answering several scribers, the editor will state that in his opinion September wheat at around a dollar a bushel-—the pres- ent price—is too low, and that it will pay not to sell. But nobody knows. Gigd anxious sub- the Dardanelles were to le the price would no doubt fall; but the Allies do not seem to have open- ers—if t's expression in allowable in the war game. ““Moreover, if the editor knew about these things he might be tempt- ed to make millions in the grain market instead -of editing a farn paper. “A pretty good rule marketing any farm product is to sell when ready.
