America, 14 condones the mistakes of the multitude, humors the vhlms of the epiotic. and often tolerates the vicious assault* of conspirators against established order. No man is denied the right to protest. But he must not protest in such a way as to inflict injury upon his neighbors. Revolution only is pardonable when a voicc in the government is denied. Such a state cannot exist in America, whore every one may be heard. But he will not be heard to incite riot or sedition or anything that will react to the injury of the community. "This is a mild way of statin# the case against Debs, It is mild when compared with his bold defiance to the jury: '"I deny nothing I repudiate nothing I retract nothing.' *'This is not the attitude of a T«Ta' citizen when the nation is up in arms and the great and patient public is compelled to take time from its almost superhuman labors to investigate the charge that he comforts rather than attacks the enemy. These are extraordinary times and he would an extra or dinai-y citizen to condone Debs for his malicious and violent interference with the public action. "We do not seek to destroy the revolutionaries with bombs. Nor shall they be permitted to convert us with like violence. But one by one, If necessary. they shall leerrn this lesson behind ban."

Other editorial comment is of the same kind. The proportions of Debs' bis heart for his fellow man and Its proximity to the judgment seat has not entirely blinded his people to the joy his sentiments must give Germany.

Terre Haute sort of shares 'James Whitcomb Riley's view «f Debs, or did, until recently, that "there's no bigger heart stands 'twixt here and the Judgment seat,' than ol' 'Gene Debs," but the same poet who, could writ* •"Old Glory" would, like Terre Haute, If he were alive today, have to amend his consideration for Debs in light of the present jeopardy of this repuDlic, ttnd Debs" inimical views thereon. The Chicago Tribune today says of the tebs case: "Conviction of Eugen« V. Debs in a federal court and the possibility that be may go to prison for many years is only another proof that radicalism can go too far even in the most patient of communities.

THE ONLY ISSUE.

Xew York democrats are elated over a letter received from Secretary of State Lansing indorsing Alfred E. Smith for governor. "With real satisfaction," the head of the president's cabinet assures Smith that his public career is "convincing proof that he possesses "the true spirit of public service" that fits him for the governorship of the Empire state.

This indorsement is considered tantamount to a declaration by the president himself. Mr. Laaaing writes as a New York democrat. Presumably, also, he writes as a representative the national administration.

Loyalty to the government is to be made an issue in the New York campaign this year. Armed with this letter of the secretary of state and helped probably by speeches of other members of the cabinet, the Smith adherents are hopeful of turning New York over to democracy in November.

together with all of the officers and crew, are safe in England, and. according to the best information available, the U-boat that did the work is on the bottom, to stay there until the end of time.

It was a tremendous experience in what war means for the men on the ship, but their discipline was perfect and their morale unshaken. To the Germans it is another record of failure another proof that they cannot stop the coming of the power that spells their doom.

To the torpedo boats, both British and American, goes most of the credit for this fine achievement. They fought off the U-boat and probably sunk her, rescued the men and convoyed the rest of the fleet to safety.- Gratitude is theirs and honor for a piece of work that is equal to a great victory on land.

ABOUT YOUR BONDS.

Secretary McAdoo's letter to Chairman Kitchin, suggesting that congress shall exempt all issues of Liberty Bonds, to some extent, from the surtafx.

wtm

made In general terms, and

tha eflaot at t&a pten. if adopted, cannot be ftratoM until more is known abwt details. There will be no doubt abtrat the popularity of the plan. The 3^ per cents are now selling above par, because they are exempt from taxation, while the 4.25 per cent bonds are below par.

They are in the hands of millions of small buyers, who have bought patriotically and will buy again, but who are not so sublimely patriotic as to look with complete indifference on the market price of their investment.

The Tribune, however, believes that they will accept the situation cheerfully and would rather leave matters as they are than to see any plan adopted whtefa would make the new issue as useful to very large purchasers for tax-evading purposes as the 3*4 per oents were. Most buyers of Liberty Bonds regard them as permanent investments. They are willing tr wait for peaceful times and better bond prices.

FIGURED WRONG.

The New York Times has gathered a few figures on the potash situation which ^how onee again that tho beginnings of German defeat were in the doctrines and theories inculcated by the vaunted German preachers, professors and philosophers long before the war.

Among the various things that the world could not have without German consent was potash for fertilizer. The

chemists said so and the statesmen echoed them, but Great Britain is already recovering, as a by-product from blast furnaces, all the potash that will be needed for agriculture in the British Isiles after the war. Double the amount formerly imported by this country can be recovered from similar sources, and after that millions of tons, now known to be available in the west, can be recovered from the alkaline lakes of that region.

Just as the Germans vaunted themselves and were puffed up on potash and other material resources, while they denied the ability of others to come within hailing distance, so taey exalted their own spiritual and intellectual qualities while they disparaged others. Their miscalculation as to the importance of German |otash is a symbol of their miscalculation as to German nature and human nature at large.

Alreattjr there at* of a gradual re-estimation in Germany of the German place in the world. The new estimate, when it is complete, win be humbler than the old, bat it will be salutary.

Mars rules strongly for good today while Jupiter Is adverse, according to astrology.

What ever has to do with steel or iron should benefit from this configuration and there is an auspicious sign for railways which seems to presage permanent benefits.
