If there is subterfuge in the at!ila its. it is a afe puess that Koniono in Washington will discover it. Germany, in all probability, realizes it by this time, that the i.usitania was no more of a warship than the Titanic was. There were no cannon aboard, and the ship was not a transport carrying armed Canadian troop. Wo hope it realizes that this government had not permitted infringement of neutrality in any respect whatever In its relations with the Iuitania; that not even the American law against nasscntr ships carrying "explosives"' was broken, because we have never classed rillo cartridges as explosives, and such goods have always been carried on ocean liners'. If the German government really believed these misrepresentations, 'Germany has been sadly betrayed by the blunders of confidential agents and the credulity of her hih officials. The further contention that the Lusitania is to be regarded as a warship because she was "expressly included in the navy list published by the British admiralty" seems to assume a strange lack of intelligence on the part of the American public. Nearly every important passenger s'.'ip in the world is so listed. All the big British liners are subsidized by the government. with the understanding that they may be taken over in case of war. o are the German liners. The Lusitania, which had not been used except in peaceful commerce, was no more a "warship" than are the unarmed Gcr-

her methods are intolerable, h'hc has a right to confiscate or destroy any arms or ammunition that she finds en route to the enemy. But in doing so she has no right to destroy the life of a single sailor, not to mention the civilian passengers men. women and children of either belligerent or neutral nations. T S " . n r

with their ships, it is an offense against all humanity, but legally it is none of our business. At most, we can but remind Germany that if she cannot win except in that way, she had far better pive up the fight. But when Germany kills our own people, we have not only reason for deep indignation, but we have a "case in court." That case must be pressed unswervingly, with all the vigor of our government, backed by a united nation. Germany must understand that if she continues assassinating our citizens, we are not so cowardly nor so divided that we will not fight. If she thorofighly understands that, she may decide to respert American life. And having yielded thus far, she might be persuaded to yield other forms of lawlessness which are an offense to the world, and are more fatal to the honor and welfare of the German nation than even defeat could be.

The farmer's wife does not feel the desire for seclusion that is manifested by the town bred family. She already lias altogether too much seclusion, which is handed her in large chunks. .She would welcome the housework girl, if the latter had any elements of congeniality whatever, to the family intimacy. Country life is a great leveler. After the dishes are done, the hired girl's chances to get partners at the cross roads dances will be limited only by her ability to dance well. The nature of her employment will not be a deterrent. In fact the country boy has a vast respect for a good cook. The country boy is not migrating to the city as fast as he did. It is beginning to dawn on him that when he drops the raising of food products, he is selling out his interest in a commodity that is rapidly raising in price. Nobody ever advanced in life

j on that principle. And as the boys

stay on in the country, the girls will stay on too. The farmers are going to own many more automobiles in the year 1923 than the store clerks.

tin: ithlic ih:ffmi:r. California has just passed a law providing for public defenders, after an experiment in Los Angeles lasting about eighteen months. The public defender is the opposite of the public prosecutor. The new law provides that every county in the state may establish a public defender to represent indigent persons accused of crime. This seems to be a move in the direction of substantial justice for the poor man. Maurice Parmclee in his "Principles of Anthropology and Sociology in Relation to Criminal Pro-

Also:

howri in her reply to the American note of May i:i and in her current naval activity, are that she chooses to ignore the president's noble appeal to her honor and her conscience, and that she wants to spar for time in the hope of delaying effective action by this country while she continues her submarine campaign unchanged as the most effective rans of beating England. And it seems as obvious as ever that in waging this lawless warfare she cares little for the injury she may do to neutral nations, and almost as little for neutral opinion. The l.-sue. therefore, between Germany and the I'nited .States, is be- . oming clear, and the two sides threaten to become irreconcilable. Germany is determined to use every means in her power to c rush her enemy, even at the risk of crushing neutrals who happen to come between, ."-"lie respects us no more than she did

Belgium. To our demand that hej

un.ivow such acts as the sinking of the Lusitania. make reparation for the Americans slain and promise not to lepcat the otfense, Germany's last note made this threatening reply: "German commanders are no longer able to observe the customary regulations of the prize law. which before they always followed." Those regulations require that enemy merchant ships must not be sunk without letting the sailors and passengers escape. They are the very essence of International sea law. ami

have been recognized heretofore by every civilized nation In the world in every war of modern times. There is the crucial point in Germany's position, and1 the menace to the life, honor and peace of every ruutral nation. It is Germany's assumption that she alone has the right to break with impunity the law of mankind, and to .v;1y what shall be international law fur the world her own "necessity" justifies everything. It is as if a single citizen in an American city should arm himself to the teeth, take possession of the streets, announce new police regulations of his own to govern the street traffic and claim the riht to shoot down anybody who, voluntarily or involuntarily, disobeyed his rules. Any American has as much right in the war zone, to within three miles of the German coast, as the Germans themselves hae. He lias a right to j-ail those seas on unarmed vessels under any flag. All the seas are the free highways of the nations In peace and war, and it Is outlawry for any nation to order others off those highways. A blockade of the enemy's ports is permitted, under established rules Great Britain herself has not strictly lived up to the rules, and has committed some acts of outlawry. But Great Britain has imperilled only property right.; she n.lS uniformly respected the life of neutral, and even :f non( onit atant enemies. Germany, to strike a!

AT Till: FRONT OF PKOGKFSS. Beports from Europe teem with accounts of the gallant conduct of young men on both sides engaged in conflict. They tell how the youth of Hurope is pouring its life blood on the field of carnage. These tales stir the pulse and warm the blood, but we wish to tell you of another youth who has just won renown, and how. In the west our ewn country's west in the states of Arizona. Colorado. Montana and Utah, and in a

lesser degree, others, the mining ofi

euppcr is a great industry, giving employment to thousands of men. But this great industry has been hampered by the poisonous funics given off in smelting the product. These sulphurous ases have taken so heavy a toll of lives that many large mines have been forced to close down. Now comes Allen Bruce Marquard, a senior student in the University of California mining department, and perfects a process entirely eliminating the poisonous fumes. It is the most important discovery of the age to the copper industry. It means not only saving of life but stimulation to a great industry to such extent as to provide employment for thousands of idle men. Don't you think this young American has wrought just as well as the heroes of the battlefield?

thi: m:irr of a man. There's only one way to the masculine heart. And that's by a course in the culinary art (The failures in which have caused many to part) They had broken the heart of a man. He may often rubber on all rainy days, And flirt with the girls (which he knows never pay,;, But cook him a beefsteak (with some mayonaise). And you've reached the heart of a man. He may think you stunning, and chic, and petite. He ifiay say your manners are certainly sweet. But just cook a meal that 'is not fit to eat. And you've saddened the heart of a man. He may think you're classy, a good little scout. He may think he loves you, beyond any doubt, But if you can't cook, you are surely let out Of the wonderful heart of a man. AN Dthis reminds us that we have never been satisfied wit lithe orthodox story of Adam and Eve. The former is handed down te us as a cur. or a cad, just as you prefer, and the latter as no better than she should be, as her female descendants would say. To our notion Adam did just w hat any gentleman would have done under the circumstances and Eve met her destiny face to face without flinching. WHY. if you accept the other version well, the thought is not a pleasant one. His Three Reasons. (Clipped by Old Hi Sibley From a London Paper and forwarded by Him to the Melting Pot.)

When a defendant is unable to employ counsel it becomes the duty of the judge to assign a lawyer practicing in his court to take charge of the defense. The usual result is that this lawyer endeavors to ascertain the tinancial resources of the defendant in order to determine whether there is any possibility of securing a fee for the services which it la his duty to perform. If there is no such possibility his wish is to dispose of the case with as little trouble as possible. To do this, he tries, first of all, :o persuade the defendant to plead guilty. If he succeeds, he is relieved of the necessity of spending time and trouble in conducting the trial. The defendant, however, may protest his innocence and insist ifpon a trial. The lawyer will then gie to the preparation for the trial as little time as possible. He gives to the defendant a poor ami weak defense in opposition to the carefully prepared prosecution of the prosecuting attorney. This is great injustice. Public defense in criminal trials would make it much easier to abolish the present vicious method of allowing the defendants to plead guilty. This hope does not exist in continental procedure and has resulted in a number of grave abuses in AngloAmerican procedure. Many defendants are incapable of understanding the meaning and bearing of the question and are therefore at a great disadvantage On the other hand, ex

perienced criminals when charged with crime, frequently take advantage of the opportunity to plead guilty and do so with the utmost alacrity in order to secure the beneht e-f the leniency shown by the law ami by judges as a reward. The reason for tho reward being simply the expediting the business of the court. Public prosecution without public defense throws the balance in favor of society as against the individual. If a rruan. according to our theory, "is presumed innocent until he is proved guilty." the machinery of the law ought to provide at least an equal chance to him to prove his innocer.ee. As it is now in most states, the rich man may have the best of expert service to defend him. while the poor man has a decidedly unequal chance.

om:i;hi:ai i:xpi:.si:s. The great bugbear of business is the overhead or fixed charges of the enterprif.e. Here is where many a concern has met shipwreck. The prices may be those generally prevailing in the trade. The sales seem to be bringing a good profit. But at the end of the year it is seen that the fixed charges have wiped out the profit. Cost of sales force, rent, taxes, heat, light, depreciation of equipment, repairs, etc., these run along the same whether people are coming to the store or not. The only way to reduce overhead charges is to do a larger business. In w hich case the proportion of oveihead expense that has to be charged up to each individual sale becomes less. By increasing the sales a loss can be turned into a profit. The only way to increase sales is to solicit business activity. The cheap

est form of solicitation is to put an advertisement in the newspaper. It tells about a merchant's goods to a thousand people while the merchant is talking to one person. 1 1 . vrs th i: a x sy i : j t ? The courts of Seattle are up against a poser. In the trial of a criminal case, the jury, of which a prominent w oman was a member, disagreed. The judge refused to discharge the jury and ordered it locked up, "incommunicado." for the night. The lady member had a two months old infant that hungrily insisted upon an interview. Daddy at home procured a taxlcab,

tuok the youngster to the court house

and the judge sent it up to the jury room by a deputy sheriff.

Now the defendant claims that the law was violated in admitting a person, not a member of the jury, into the jury room. What's your idea about

it? The statement that the "war baby

WHY DECRY BARXFS?

To the Editor:

For the life of me I don't see how

a so-cailea repu oilcan who loves Taft

and hates Roosevelt can logically de

cry Barnes. Taft would never have

tigured in the last national contest if it had not been for Barnes and his ilk; he would have tlropped out of

sight like a plummet. If, as pro

gressives believe, liarnes and his

crowd defeated the will of the repuli

lican party in nominating Taft in Chicago, why should Tafties turn against Mr. Barnes Taft was their beneficiary, and precisely by methods which Roosevelt condemned. The resentment of real republicans against Barnes, et al. and their candidate was

realizing that nothing fails like failure. If he had suceeded he migrht even have been canonized; but to occasion wide-spread chagrin how shall that be forgiven? What can avail while Mordecai continues to sit at the king's gate? ? One more thing that is puzzling to me. It is recognized as indubitable that no headway is to be made against the deme.cratic party next year unless those who wear the livery of the republican party can secure the -cooperation of the progressives. And this business of conciliation is a hated task. But it has got to be undertaken or nothing doing. Tho timo is short. Brotherly affection must be reestablished. Far be it from me to assume the wisdom to suggest a plan. But I can see plain enough how not to do it. The way not to do it is to reopen old political wounds, and touch the raw with nitrate of silver. In other words, having invited guests to u love-feast, set the dog on them if they loom in sight.

In justice to the blockade of the Austrian coast established by Italy in the northern Adriatic, it must be admitted that it looks more like a genuine, legal blockade than anything of the sort that the other belligerents are responsible for.

This is one of the reasons why ninety percent of the business houses in the city are today lighted by Electricity. It means a lot to the merchant to have fresh air always in his store. His clerks work better and his customers are better pleased with the establishment. More important still Electric Light is the safest form of Lighting in existence. Ask any insurance man to confirm this statement. Sanitation and safety are two of the strong arguments for electric illumination everywhere. You may think Electric lighting is costly. It is not. Let our representative give you an estimate on wiring your house and installing fixtures; also the cost of operating each and every lamp as well as the electric iron, washing machine, sewing machine and vacuum cleaner. Thereby treating yourself to a pleasant surprise.
