For a short time it looked as tho the predic- tions that the war would not last a year would succeed. But the peace talk vanished. Today it is recog- nized that the optimism of the early months of.the war was a delusion. A short war was looked for now admitted, barring extraordinary circumstances. The allies are in for the worst of their troubles the latter part of this year and another winter cam- paign is more than probable. Russia has suffered serious defeats. Germany, instead of having been starved or beaten, appears, today, to be at the height of military strength and efficiency, after a year of the most stupendous ef- forts of all history. Germany has been building up more rapidly than her enemies. After disposing of Russia, for a time at least, she will compel the allies on the Western front to endure a rain of blows that will, perhaps, make former battles appear small. Everything that “couldn't” happen has hap- pened. All predictions, made at the start, have been disproved. Impossibilities have become common- places. Logic has become ludicrous. Humanity tries to dismiss the thought of hor- ror-by a belief that it cannot happen. Once it hap- pens it becomes commonplace, to a certain extent, and thereby efdures. The people of Europe will be compelled to endure even more than they have. IMlusions are at an end.

LOOKS INCONSISTENT W E BEGIN to have serious doubts as to Uncle Sam's being on the Lord’s business in his interference in Haiti. Under the fundamental declarations of our own republic, it is wise, just and moral for a people to change their form of government when they please, and it appears that the Haitian revolution- ists desire to so revise their constitution that their president shall be chosen by themselves instead of by a national assembly. To secure this change, the Haitians have the same right to make bloody disturbances that we claimed in the affair with George III. Moreover, we are ourselves trying to get rid of choosing our president thru representative bodies, in our move- ment for presidential primaries. Were our elec- toral college to act in defiance of the popular will as expressed at the polls, we probably would be- come quite as revolutionary and riotous as those Haitians, WHERE ARE WE AT? ATURALLY, the importers raise a yell against British interference with imports from Ger- many and Austria. But— Isn't it the blessed standpat theory that the less imports the better for our own producers?

Anyhow, it seems to us that, to be consistent, every high protectionist in the country ought to rise and con- déemn importers who oppose any policy or condi- tion that curtails imports. FOR A BOY’S LIFE ““ HEN told that Gov. Johnson had reprieved him on Monday, Louis Bundy, boy-mur- derer, sobbed like a child.” Why not? He IS a child, a boy turned to criminal ways’ by environment and evil associates, but withal a boy. What can it profit the commonwealth of Cali- fornia to take the life of this misguided youth? By commuting the sentence of this erring lad to life imprisonment, his fate will stand as a burn- ing example to the youth of the state. Execute him and tomorrow Bundy and his crime will have been forgotten. No time or opportunity for true repentance, just a human soul launched into ever- lasting blackness. Gov. Johnson, even your enemies have never accused you of moral cowardice. Rise to the oc- casion and commute Bundy’s sentence. Tem- per justice with that mercy which is ever the at- tribute of true*men. Confourff the fanatics who clamor for this boy’s blood and send out to the world the message that California punishes crime but does not exact vengeance.
