THE CZAR’S MOVE, By placing himself in command of (iall the armies of Russia, Emperor | Nicholas. automatically supersedes his cousin the Grand Duke Nicholas, who hasébeen in.command ever sinee the swarpbesan Since the beginning of sthe great Austro-German offensive jmovement in May the Grand Duke ‘has met with serious reverses and swhilet he is rated as a wonderful ¢generali there seems to have some dissatisfaction with the sthings 'were going. That the Em- |i peror himself should go on the field igives credence to the: belief that an dinternal \crisis has been fomenting in the heart'of {Russia. The Russian de- feats on thes battlefield have brought 1about this sdiscontent. As a result the rulingfclasses of Russia are seri- ously ‘'worried over the political dis- orders sithat have been brewing, and it may have been this that sent the I*mperorfthurrying to the front. The ruling classes of Russia know this and§know it well. In the past, military # defeat has always resulted in thesbetterment of the Russian pro- ; letariait. There are some who will ) assert ‘that absolute military defeat will beithe only thing to bring about ultimatefreedom , for the Russian peoplle. To’ bear out this contention they vrecall ‘the following facts. The Serfs) were freed after the Crimean war;tthe Duma was: granted after the been way or at least it lookedi as if it might have been easier on the neck than the starched collar. ,But ye gods! It was a frightful affair. No bogie man could scare children \properly unless garbed in the grotesque garishness of ,fz spectacular, stupendous sport shirt. It gave to its wearer the appearance shell, or of a gargoyle at Westminster Abbey. It made the human head take on the appearance of a large sized succulent lime. It reduced all men to the same level; the banker, the butcher, the bricklayer, the bunco man; all looked alike When clad in the cringing, creepy, sport shirt. Few there are who know from whence the sport shirt came. As a matter of history it is interesting to note that the first sport shirt was worn by Lord Byron the great Engi lish poet and court favorite. He was the first one to popularize the fiow- ing collar and its:dramatic effect. Its flamboyant and flabbing ends are all characteristic of romanticism, sen- timent and passion so aptly termed Byronic. There have been many gems of thought given to the Eng- lish language by George Gordon Noel, Lord Byron, but who will bless his efforts in handing to an innocent pos- terity this perfidious oracle of style that should bear his name but which has been dubbed sport shirt? Truly it takes a sport to wear one. Only the young and unsophisticated should have the temerity to clad their per- sons in this garment of the seven- teenth century. One naturally loaks for its wearer to be bedecked with those other monstrosities, a parasol, monocle, mustache, spats, and wear- ing a silk handkerchief tucked up his sleeve. Stand back, ye Romans! Dare ye not lay a finger on the men who drowned the sport shirt at At- lantic City. They have done a great thing for suffering humanity. If this garment comes to the surface next year it should meet a similar fate. creamy, “DANGER.” Fourteen automobiles came to grief Labor Day at the corner of Main and Mpyrtle streets where the Connecticut Company is laying double tracks. The deplorable condition of the pavement there makes it almost impossible for machines to navigate with any degree of certainity. Yes- terday ‘also witnessed a number of such hold-ups,—big lumbering cars stalled in the mire. Pedestrians, too, bave been discomfitted in making the journey in that vicinity. In view of | all these circumstances then, why is | it not possible to place some sort of warning to travelers in that section? Machines should make a detour and javoid the treacherous trap that awaits them. Either a “Danger” pla- card, or a policeman should be placed the corner of Commercial Street.

There is already a traffic policeman at Myrtle Street and this man could be sent down to Commercial until the tracks are fixed at his old stamping grounds.

After the present war, .predict ‘these political prophets, \there will be a reversion from the presentisystem in Russia and a more popular:government will be instituted. At best the position of the Russian s government : is not as sound as the : Czar*wouldfhave it, and this may be of a turtle trying to crawl out of its [the reason he is now going out to {lead his troops. He would not want ito see his armies melted away over night, or trod beneath the iron heels +of the invading German hordes. If he rcan get the nation aroused, inject ‘more fighting spirit into the men, plan for bringing ' more munitions of war into the country, it is believed the Czar will grant any concessions the people may ask. He has already .decided to appoint ten non-bureau- hcrats as cabinet ministers—five to be members of the Imperial Council and five in the Duma. The latter will represent the various classes of Rus- sia and their opinions and will be part of the new cabinet with those of the upper house. This indeed would ‘be the first approach to a par- liamentary form of government. All of the aforementioned . may have something to do with the Em- peror taking charge of his armies. 1t is known that the Russian people are greatly discontented with the manner in which the ruling classes are running things and place the blame for the poor showing of the armies on their shoulders. That the Russian people are harboring a dis- trust for their government has been known for some time.

The Working of the Leaven. Under the title, “Medicine Man Quits With $1,000,000,” the Brazil (Ind.) News for August 5 prints an interesting news item. Here it is: “Kokomo, August 5.—The Cora B. Miller Medicine company, known over the country because of its extensive magazine advertisements of a cure for the gomplaints of women, today dis- charged its small army of stenog- raphers and other employves and then closed its doors to business. The closing came as the result of a fraid order issued recently by the post office department, which denied the use of the majls to the circular advertising matter of the company. “According to Dr. Frank Miller, Who started the business twenty-five Years ago, when he was practically Penniless, the company will never again do business. Miller is now worth from $900,000 to $1,000,000. “For the first twenty years of the business, there was no interruption, and the money poured into the cof fers of the company from women of the country. Four years ago, how- ever, the government took exception to the use of the name Cora B. Miller in connection with the advertisng, in- asmuch as Mrs. Miller had no con- nection with the company, and the firm was forced to change names. “The change marked a turning point in the affairs of the company, and when recently the government brought a fraud order against the company, Miller decided to quit-the business. Miller is the largest holder of real estate in Kokomo.” The Cora B. Miler fraud was ex- posed in The Journal of the Ameri- can Medical association for July 23, 1910, and the matter reprinted and widely circulated in pamphlet form. The newspaper quoted above credits the failure of the Miller concern to the fact that the federal authorities caused it to change its name from “Mrs. Cora B. Miller” to “Miller Medicine company.” That this change probably had something to do with the decline of the business is doubt- less true. Another agency, however, has been at work and tended to make the Miller fraud less profitable. A good many thousand reprints of The Journal's expose have been circulated. The public generally, and especially the feminine part of it, has been wholesomely awakened to the wretch- ed swindles that have been, and still are, perpetrated on it by ‘“‘patent medi- cine” fakers. The American Medi- cal association, therefore, may cer- tainly take some of the credit for bringing about the consummation that resulted in Miller retiring from his fraudulent trade. And here we have one more explanation of the fact that certain individuals froth at the mouth whenever the American Medical asso- ciation and The Journal are men- tioned. Hats Off Again. (Hartford Courant.) “Honor to whom honor is due!” If the public press of the country, ir- respective of party affiliations, reflects the opinion and feeling of the people of our country, they, whether of this, that, or the other political party be- lieve that honor, in great measure, is due and should be given to their President for what he has accom- plished in the difficulties and dangers arising out of our relations and dif- ferences with Germany. From all available sources of informatian come clear indications, if not positive assur- ances, that the people, of all parties and classes, with a consent approach- ing to unanimity, approve the course pursued by the president in this mat- ter, rejoice in the success which has crowned his endeavors and acclaim his wisdom and triumph with grati- tude and praise. Even Mr. Roosevelt is con- vained to join the chorus thoug: ~terjecting a few “ifs’ which are toc unimportant to create dis- cordance, and prudently withdraws to Canada in pursuit of other than politi- cal game. There are no “ifs” or ““buts” in this business worth mentioning. If minor mistakes have been committed, the whole business has been wisely trans- acted and triumphantly concluded to the hanor of the President, to the sat- isfaction of our people, and in a lesser asgree to the welfare if mnot the gratification of Germany. The right has been quietly, patiently, cour- teously, but firmly insisted upon with a surprising success. Those messages dispatched from Washington ta Ber- lin, ridiculed by some as harmless literary compositions, have somehow proved to be no less practically effec- tive than finished in form and style. Perhaps we were deceived as to the point of thase diplomatic weapons by their very polish. Straightforward and midway betwen a clamoring and blustering jingoism on the one.hand, and a flabby namby-pambyism on the other hand, the wise, the safe, the sure course has been pursued, and the result is not merely a signal diplomat. ic victory, redaunding to the “honor of the President, but a triumph of righteousness and of peace. War or anvthing like war, with Germany or with any other foreign power,' would have been unspeakably deplorable, not to say disastrous. And vet the clouds of strife, if not of ac- tual warfare, were darkly visible in the eastern horizon. These clouds have van shed, that peril has been averted, if the assurances of the German government are to be believed and we reasonably hope they will not reappear. Our whole great nation re- joices in its expertence of relief. We | are not a pugnacious but a peaceful people, and, more than that, a patient and forbearing people not easily provoked to wrath and violence. The small minority of our citizens who would welcome war have sustained a crushing rebuke and are, for the time being sullen but silent. The nations near and far are advised that the United States will not and cannot re- sort to arms except in self-defence, or- when all possible and honorables) means of averting or avoiding war have been exhausted. That is the high | | and commanding position® which Wi as a nation, occupy today. That this is so is not due to President Wilson, nor to any one man nor to any few men among us but to the dominant good sense and general sanity of the people themselves, wha abhor war, ap- preciate the blessings of peace, and cannot be swept from their moorings by any gusts of passion or pretext. But it is true that Mr. Wilson, himself a peace-lover and a peacemaker, has cléarly divined and sagaciously trusted the spirit and temper of the people whose President he is. Mexico—is another story, as vet ‘‘to be continued.” But as to that just now concluded, when William Howard Taft doffs his cap and salutes the President with cordial congratula- tions no patriotic republican need be afraid, ashamed, or reluctant to fol- low his distinguished® example. Mr. Taft's act is a signal, “Hats off to the President.” The Unbroken Rule. (Philadelphia Ledger.) In Washington there is a club Where playing cards for money and various other things is forbidden. But on one accasion recently four friends Wwho wished to have a quiet game of bridge decided that there would be no harm in a slight departure from the regulations. Having found a retired corner, they had commenced to play when one of them noticed that a waiter who was near was observing them. Wishing to avoid further disclosure, he called the waiter and sald: “William, I know you will not con- sider it your duty to inform against us. I presume that ere now you have seen the rules broken.” “Sir,” said the waliter gravely. I have been in the service of this club for some years but have never yet given any such information, although T have seen all the rules broken but one.” And what is that one rule?” “That of feeing the waiters, sir.” He got his tip. Why Alexander Wept. (Youth’s Companion.) The teacher, was telling his class about the conquests of Alexander the Great. He made the tale a stirring cne, and at last reached the conquest of India. Wishing to impress the children, he said: ‘“When Alexander had conquered India, what do you think he did Do you think he gave a great feast to celebrate his triumph? No, he sat down and wept.” The children seemed to be a little disappointed at this childish exhibi- tion on the part of the heroj so the teacher continued: “Now, why do you think Alexander wept?” he asked. Up went a little hand; but when its cwner saw it was the only one in view, he hurriedly withdrew it. “Come on now, Tommy,” said the teacher in his most persuasive voice, “why do you think Alexander wept?" ‘““Maybe it was because he didn't know the way back home,” Tommy answered. What Guerilla Warfare Means. (Meriden Record.) The happenings along the Mexican border tiese days are giving con- siderable food for thought to those who are following the trend of events. They iliustvate bevond peradventure the kind of tragedies, on a whole- sale scale, witn which the people of the United States would get acquaint- ed in the event of intervention by this country. Many people Lave an idea that the pacification of Moxico could be ef- fected dy waiking in, turning round, and walking out again. No one who is acquainted with history or has any knowledge of the country and its peo- ple is laboring under any such de- lusion. It is becauce there are many who know the price thé United States would have to pay in blood and treasure, that there has not been greater opposition tc the “watchful waiting” scheme. Man to man, there is absolutely no comparison between an American scldier and that which masquerades under the nameo of roldier in Mex- ico. But in the event of war it would not be a case of man for man. The kind of warfare in which the Mexi- cans would engage would mean end- less time and energy to combat. Of real battle the Mexicans know little, but they are masters of the guerilla warfure in which their country aids them in contour and climate. Against these factors the United States troops would have to wrestle and the strug- gle would be long and bloody. Great Britain Disgruntled. (Meriden Record.) Great Britain “sees through a glass darkly” and things bhave a saffron tinge. The recognition by Germany of the contentions of the TUnited States regarding submarine warfarc has brought no satisfaction to the people of the Tight Little Isle wixu see only a ‘‘Joker” against which great precautions must be taken. Grudgingly, the British press vields a bit of commendation to Prezident Wilson but it is obvious that the “whole hog or none” theory comes first in England’s considerations re- garding our attitude toward Ger- many’s representatives. The United States has no more right to insist upon the abolition of submarine war- fare than she has to raise her voice against a real blockadc if a nation is strong enough to maintain it. The United States had a right to in- sist on the observance of the Geneva convention—that a warning must be given to a suspected ship and that in the event of necessity for destroying a vessel, that the people on board be given time to escape. To ask more would have been to exceed the privi- leges accorded by international law. For Britain to claim that Germany is led to change her policy because submarine warfare has been a failure at once brands her previous conten- tions regarding the necessity for curbing the Germans’ murderous naval scheme, as untenable and lu- dicrous. The United States ic trving to play the game square but the role. of neu i | tral is ungrateful and criticism s bound to come from some quarter whatever stand is taken. Just be- czuse the United States refuses to be drawn into war which is none of its own making, merely to drag from the fire the chestnuts for some other na- tion, i no reason why its motives should be impugned. Great Britain’s financiers are to negotiate a loap in this country for five hundred sillion dollare. The tone of a certain portion of the English press would indicate that this was a distinct favor to the United States and that the pound sterling could be restared in some other way ‘than by this scheme were not the de- sire to be agreeable uppermost in the British mind. As a matter of fact, Great Britain needs the United States and for Eng- land to get stuffy over time the whole figure is not in her favor shows a littleness of gpirit which is calculat- ed to irritate, A Gross Injustice to Organized Labor. (New London Day.) In numerous instances through- out the country Labor Day was made the occasion of attacks on what some leaders describe as militarism in the United States. Members of vari- ous organizations of workers are belng urged to set their faces against any policy of naticnal preparedness and to refuse to be jockeyed by the representatives of capitalism into sub- mission to military training or into any participation in measures for the safeguarding of the ccuntry against invasion or ensiavement, Nlo_effort will be made anywhere to prevent the propagation of this policy. The promoters of it ~ve e~cure in their right of free cpiafon and of frea speech. They are made so by the spirit of the governinent that they do not velieve in defending. No man will gainsay the right of any labor leader to any capitalist to argue to tne best of his ability and to the limits of his strength against any policy of nadicnal security that may be sug- gested, or to call that policy by any name that may seem good to him. But it would be a rather trying sit- uaticn for organized labor to find it<elf in, in case this country should indeed be called on to defend itself, if certafn of labor's leaders were to have their way and the organized workers were at that time arrayed as a unit against all miltary activity.

If such an unhappy situation should ever arigse it would not perhaps, be the cause of great rutional peril, be- ~aute there are probably quite enough men in the United Stater outside the Jabor orga: zations to successfully de- ford the county spainst any possible combination-—at least to save it from uitimate conquest; because, after all, torganized labor congtitutes ' rather a small minority of the able bodled male population. And, with an army composed exclusively of non-union- ists, if the peril should ever become so great as to make the service of the unionists absolutely necessary. the machinery for conscription would be in unsympathetic hands and or- ganized labor would discover that it is easier to draw up resolutions against militariem than it is to escape the inevitable militarism of war times. But the shame of the skulker would attach, none the less, to the name of organized labor; it would be stigmatized and finger pointed for a generation as the only class which, as a class, shirked its duty in the moment of the country's danger. For it is assumed that the leaders who denounce militarism "today are prepared to denounce militarism if acute danger arises. Otherwies their position is miserably illogical. He who frowns on preparedness must frown on defense in the face of the enemy, for the only purpose of pre- pardeness is defense and the only suc- cessful defense must be through pre- pardness. Of course organized labor is not roing to set itself against preparedness Tts members will be, by the tens of thousands, in whatever system of wnilitary organization. is adopted or dceveloped. Nine out of ten—and better—trades unionists are Ameri- cans first and organized iabor men rd. then, should organized labor permit itself to be so misrepresented ty blatherskite orators on Labor day or any other day? Why should or- ganized labor permit damagogfies to exploit it as an enemy of the National Guard, of the army and navy—ocf every sanc and proper measure of naticnal defense? Organize labor ie permitting a few irdividuals to do it a gross injustice. College FEducation. (Lynn News.) The class of 1909 at Harvard coi- lege has heen just six years out of col- lege. The earnings of the members of this class huve just been given in the class report. I seems from this that the total carnings of the 321 men, who average from twenty-seven to twen- ty-eighth years in age, is $681,850 an- nually. The average salary of 311 of thern is §$2,114 annually. Sixteen men in the class are carning a salary of more than %5000 each. Some, who have spent three or four years in pro- fessional schools, are as yet carning small amounts, but five years from now will show their average greatly increased. There is cne thing lacking in these figures, so fsr as comparisons are concerned. Thna men who go to col- lege are all in a sense picked men. They have been obliged also to display a certain amount of energy in order to complete their course with credit. We are far from certain that we should be doing justice to the latter. And yet one cannot help reflecting that the average salary of men, tak- en as they come, of the age mentioned is much less than that of these Har- vard men, and it may not be entirely unfair to conclude that a portion of the increase is due to the training these men had in college, Hair Bow and Sash Ribbons 12 1-2¢ to 50c Yard.
