CAT-FIT AND CATNIP. The correspondence between A. Wickey, the Easf Chicago manufacturer, and Senator James E. Watson in this newspaper regarding the League of Nations will probably produce another series of cat fits from th- Democratic brethren, but the majority of folk will unqualifiedly

government well. A man makes a fortune in business, but may be abysmally ignorant, of the thinfs whicn are essential to success in government. No doubt the majority or big business men are generally well informed, yet the fact remains that their brain? are developed along the channels leading to success in business and may be totally undeveloped, or only slightly developed, along the channels which lead to successful public administration or legislation. Hence it follows that business success does not argue for fitness to legislate or govern, though it will help in combination with othe rqualitie3 which may, but as often may not, be found in business men. But men of the Henry Ford type are impossible, for they could scarcely do less harm through their ignorance, in experience and cocksureness than such a malevolent genius as Lenine now does in Russia.

THEY WOULD BE INTERESTING. We would like to see these questions answered bv some one vho is close enough to Mr. Wilson to answer them. You never could expect the great Covenanter tj answer them himself. "1. Why does Mr. Wilson insist that the absurd lan guage of Article XXl protects the Monroe doctrine, par ticularly in view of the fact that English authorities positively assert that it does nothing of the kind? "'2. Under what theory was it that the British Empire has six votes in the league while the United States and other nations are allowed but one each? "3. Why was the British Empire given control, in the form of mandates, of about four-fifths of the captured German colonial territory; this in spite of the fact that the British Empire already controlled one-quarter of the total land area of the whole world? "4. What was the so-called American scheme for a league of nations; in what, respect did it differ from, and why was it discarded in favor of the British plan? "5. Just what were the considerations that induced Mr. Wilson to agree to urge upon the senate an alliance guaranteeing protection to France in the event of another war with Germany? "6. Is it not a fact that upon the rejection of th league of nations by the United States it will be promptly discarded by the other signatory nations, and a separate peace with Germany proceeded with immediately?

A FLIVVERING THINKER. Henry Ford's appearance as a witness in his libel suit against the Chicago Tribune has torn the glamor of romnce from him and exposed his extremely narrow limitations to the public view. He has read "quite a little" history and regards it as ' bunk,'' yet he presumes to have opinions on peace, war and preparedness, though well-digested opinions on those subjects cannot be formed without knowledge of history and without reasoning from its teaching. He is too busy making automobiles to formulate the expression of his so-called opinions, so hires a man to do it for him, and he blindly signs what this man writes and as blindly accepts responsibility for it. He regards music and art as '"bunk," but is beginning to bave a little appreciation of them, and in music has progressed so far a to like the banjo. He confesses ignorance of many things, though he has made a great success of making automobiles. ! Cold analysis shows Mr. Ford to be simply a tinker who made a good invention at a fortunate juncture when the world was ready to adopt it, and who was shrewd and fortunate enough to become associated with men who

GETTING READY FOR A FIGH T. It i3 reported that another of the morally unclean carnivals is headed towards Lake county to begin a series of engagements in different cities. Th shows are to be put on in the interest of lodges. This is a mighty poor way for a lodge to raise money and the lodges can anticipate their contracts with these filthy carnivals by bein? advised that the fullest publicity will be given to street

fairs and carnivals by this newspaper. No city ought in the first place to give them a license. !

BUDGETING IN JULY. If the family finances have never been conducted according to the budget system there is no reason why ihey should wait until the first of January before getang into this popular game. There is nothing especially sacred about the first of the calendar yar as a time for beginning things. The only way to begin is to begin. If a budget was gaily started on its course last January and has been making rought weather of it, its canvas torn by the squalls of unexpected events, now is a good time to haul out. refit and start her over again. July marks the half-way point. The experience gained on

acquisition of general knowledge, to formation of sound epiniona on public affairs, to cultivation of a taste for the arts, and ia musical taste he has progressed as far as a plantation negro. He seems to have felt the need of having some opinions on peace, war and preparedness. He hastily formed them without consideration of the premises on which they should be based, and he hired a man to express and propagate them. Thia man lightheartedly hired a ship and took a cargo of cranks to Europe for the purpose of ending a war which was taxing all the energies of all the greatest, most experienced statesmen, soldiers and naval commanders in tie world. After thus making himself the laughing stock of all mankind he did not realize the depth of his o'--Ignorance, for he presumed to seek election to the United States senate. A mental review of the many great qt--,-tions which senators have to consider, of the informat-.os. which they have to accumulate, and of the study which they bav to devote to their work in order to perform it with reasonable efficiency would enable one to form some

conception of the utter incompetency of Mr. Ford fo: auch an office.

' People who are slaves to accounts never get any-1 where in this world, either in the way of prosperity or

A G Anderson fSTFF CORRESPONDENT I N SERVICE 1 BERLIN". July ;6. If the ex-kaiser returns to Germany from Holland many German army officers will fiitcht to their dath" to prevent the entente powers from securing him for trial, according to Gen. von FMcssen. who served the former emperor for many years as personal aide de camp. Gen von Piessen is regarded as one of the most intimate friends of the exile and admitted that he had heen in constant correspondence with AVllliam. These letters, however, did not touch on political subjects. Von Plessen insisted but were friendly epistles and were sent unsealed. Rgardlng the offers or Field Marshal von Hindenburg and former Chancellor von Bethnian-Holl weg to stand tri.il for the ex-kaiser, inn Flesscn declared that Hindenburgr was only morally responsible for the one-tini emperor s military orders. "According to the German constitution every governmental act of the exkaiser requires the. sanction of the chancellor in order to be valid.' said Von Plessen. "The chancellor therefore assumed full legal responsibility. "There was no legal responsiHihty for military acta of chiefs of naff on the field, but Hindenhurg was chiefly responsible for militarv acts after taking charge of operations in August 1916. "Former Chancellor von BethmannHollweg's offer was meant literally and was a frank admission of responsibility therefore taking a stand baser) on both truth and justice, but the offer in no wise recognized the authority of th; constituted tribunal. "Our enemies know as well as we do that there was war blame on their sid but they would forget the responsibility in the caricature of a tribunal in which they are the prosecutor and jude and which the British press with cynical frankness admits is to give the masses a theatrical spectacle. "The idea of placing the former kaiser on trial before a tribunal is utterly devoid of justification. It is a wild, reckless contemptible notion unworthy of any decent thinking nation and is morally insulting to our national pride. "It is built on the foundation of unjust passionate revenge mania to rover up proven falsehoods." Asked what German officers would do in the evert the former kaiser returned to Germany and the entente insisted upon hilt extradition Gen. von Plessen answ ered : "You know the revolution destroyed our splendid Germany. German officers cannot tear our their love and loyalty to their heredity ruler and supreme war lord. Our hearts are true to our military oath. Every one of us from Kield Marshal to the youngest lieutenant would let himself he cut to pie,- rather than surrender the Imperial master." Gen. von I'lessn declared that the former kaiser never mentioned extradition in his letters, hence he did not know whether or not the erstwhile war lord was considering the advisability of offering to appear voluntarily before an international tribunal. He thought 'his improbable, however. Nor did the exkaiser ment ion plans for th- future such as buying a much castle to live in Von riessen ienied tha William is

ill or broken" down, but naturally, he explained, his majesty is far from joyous. The general admitted that the exkaiser's sons were legally not entitled to substitute for their father before an International court, but at the same time, he argued that an entente court would not be legal. "Can you offer proof tha't the exkaiser was not responsible for the outbreak of the war?" I asked von Flessen. He replied: "For 23 years I have hen In his majesty's immediate service as adjutantgeneral. Refore God and the world I can truthfully testify his most ardent endeavor has been to preserve the peace of his people and the world. He was convinced that even the most successful war meant disaster owing to the sacrifices entailed and the sacrifice he wished to spare Germany. If William had not absolutely desired to avert war many favorable opportunities were offered us to strike. The most favorable was In 1?15 when Russia was defeated by Japan. That this opportunity was

not seized was. due primarily to AVil-

liein's love of peace. During the critical days -at the end of July in 1014 the emperor was very active in every way to maintain peace, hut his efforts at

mediation were frustrated by Russian"

mobilization. Our adversary's allegations were purely designed to blame Germany in order to justify unprecedented peace terms which are Irreconcilable with th armistice and President Wilson's H points." Gen. von Plessen is probably one of the most intimate friends of the exkaiser living in Germany and his views may be said to reflect those held by the

former war lord chief. At 'he present.

time the general is living in a modest

apartment in Potsdam.
