Th ir note to Holland, replying to her refu.-al to surrender Will'.elm is a sample.

It Jir an "argumentum a 1 hominem," addres.s! to th liunnn heart, .rauscndinpT law and diplomatic uwige. It i.s to T. expected that the heart and conscience f the Dutch people will he touc hed a eordin;Tly. and that they will be Klad to take themselves out of their present anomalous position, which makes thorn -eem to champion the cau.-e of the worlds chief criminal.

The main point m that no recei rrdii ps w er.' ask d for. placing th minfis under the direction of men that would permit the workers to carry out their contract.-, and not discriminate against unioni-ts returning to work. It accordin-'.y o eloped that the injunctions did r.ot enjoin, tont'!:ipt proceedings threatened and instituted. r.otwithstauiling, arid the country soon fcund itself on ike er-;e of free-imr, v.uih it industries shut down, and mi'h'n- out of work. Here l.r jXi a Uwom ciusician to the

PTct,:dcnt. thrvr down the bara, and let th pre?llnt in on the affair. What happened? Tou know. The miner? went back to wor'x. a oommhion working out a trike ettlment. and you haven't frozen to death yet. Incident to which, or In spite of it. we are asked by anti-administration. ?t propagandists, and medical men who.e political affiliations are more r-acred to them than the bnor of ihoir profe.vion assuming that there is any such thing remaining. to assum that the president Is "mcapacitat' d." The man who again started coal moving in th" direction of your furnace, and put that trike out of -ommiFsion. infinitely more effectively than did thoe boatel Injunction?, and contempt proceedings makers of martyrs and breeders of bolhevIm: progenitors of the new labor party. you are a.ked to aeume, is a foci. More recently tili, only Monday, the countrv was to hvc lern confronted with a railroad strike. Had it not been averted, the country today would have been tied up as to transportation, and shortly ferhap" we would have been in as bad shape industrially. In tho vicinity of the h"me fur-nac-'. and maybe at t!i kitchen table, as though she coal strike- had been permitted to run its nurse. H'weyer, after Railroad Administrator Uines, and sc'y Wilson of the labor department, and Atty. On. Palmer, with another flourish of threatened injunctions, had done every tiling but in.-tiUite the injunction?, the president held a confer, i. ce with the labor leaders, and a commission will settle the wasre question tip between the trainman, shop and maintenance workers, and the railroads. The man. we st ppos., is a fool, for doing thesethings for the people; that i.s. if we nify judge by the conversation wherever two op thiee antiadniinisrtrationists arc gathered together, along th curb, in a drug store, at a :soda fountain, in a restaurant or at their political headquarters. Nothing that so served hunrinity amounts to anything in comparison with the recent request for. and the filing of the resignation of the p. n. p.. ".stoolplu'eon" in 'he president's cabinet, but while you iis'n to th'uu biusHr, and watch the bloat, mark this: You can take rviry idolizer of Robert Lansing in the United State:-, including the editorial critics of iiis virtual dismissal, and send them hurling like Lucifer into the bottomless pit. and jou wont lessen tin democratic vote of true "progressive democrats one whit while the republican party, with a few honorable exceptions, such aa ex-Tres't Taft v.ill be literally wiped off the map. Which is as much ay the whole Wilson-Tansing controversy amounts too. The president excused tne of his hired in n from further service, and the Incident furnishes an excuse for anti-administration criticism, just as the retention of other members of the cabinet is an excuse for anti-administration criticism. Former Pres't Taft touched it oT pretty well, when approached by the Hearst antiWiUon press for his opinion of the Lansing dismissal. He said tho main criticism against him as president having been that he had no policies; that he listened to his cabinet too much, and let everybody run things, instead of putting his foot down and standing for something, and so on; he sincerely hoped that at least those who had criticised him would he consistent, and not ride his successor too hard for doing the things that they had ridden him for not doinc. Let that statement of the former president "soak in." As a vision of the excuses to which the hypercritical are always want to resort, the inconsistency of their "about faces" never troubling them, it stands out in splendid relief.

BEET AS GOOD AS CANE. A bulletin issued by the department of agriculture states definitely that there is not one atom of difference between pure beet sugar and pure cane sugar. Py no chemical test can the one be distinguished from the other. This is Interesting, in these days of sugar discussion, for there is a wide-spread belief that beet sugar has less sweetening power than cane, and that fruits preserved in it do not keep so well. Properly purified beet sugar, this bulletin declares, has every qualification of sweetness and preservative power possessed by pure cane sugar. Hither one. improperly purified, 'is apt to give bad results in canning. A closer enforcement of pure food regulations should act as a safeguard in insuring pure sugar for rublic consumption; and certainly with the government assurance that beet sugar is equally a.s good as cane sugar, the public will be willing to buy it. Increased demand and stimulated production should follow.

A compi'innsive answer would be, human progress and advancement would not and could not longer tolrait' tlu- monstrous handicap. Aside from this. bowever. the liuuor interests themselves did much to speed-up the destruction of the tratuc. They launched an aggressive campaign to increase the consumption of alcoholic liquors. Catchy r.th irtisir.' items, illustrations and the like, appeared in all the parer; that wore willint; to strvp the liquor trallic. leriant 0f public sentiment and all the rubric of decency, they planted saloons In exclusively residence districts. They entered politics and defeated, or attempted to Mefcat. every candidate who refused to kotow to the lie.uor trail'u. They invaded the halls of legislation and defeated the will of th people in their efforts to curb the drink evil. They regarded all law with an utter contempt. The logical and neceary result of thid aggressive policy on the part of the liquor inter' sift wa9 to arouse to its depths public sentiment and to array it against the saloon as a public menace. It is good strategy not to arouse a slumbering lion better let him sleep. Um the liquor inte.-ots felt secure nough in their position and strong e-nouu'h to be.iVi the lion in his den. Pul lie sentiment was r.rowM'ii, and once aroued. could not be allay d. All concessions on the part of the wets such as "strict regulation. "light wines and beer." ,,incnased revenues." and the like, availed nothing. The public rushed the light against the a loon to decision and the decision was "ihv saloon mutt go." And it went. f

The Tower of Babel

BY BILL ARMSTRONG-

WIIAVS IN A NAMi:.' Feb. 17. no:. Mr. J. Maxwell Steph.en.-on, Publisher The News-Tim. s, South Bend. Ind. Dear Max: With the assistance 0f w. Keyeu Lamport, the well known advertising man. I have been conducting a quiet investigation of the business section In the que.-t for middle names, of prominent birds, as per your Instructions of even date. While on my search, I came near being run down by M. P-ernard Frudenstein of Adler I'm-., jn a oig Cadillac car which appeared to b hitting on only three cylinders and also appeared to hav- been borrowed. After picking myself up from a stairway in which I leaped to escape the big car, I glanced into the side winder of tho American Trust Co. and there Kit the well known hanker. K. Herman Miller, conferring with the local merchant prince. J. Chess Lllsworth.

At the next corner I looked into another bank 'ind saw no other than Rome City Stephenson, sitting comfortably, counting money; which hain't no trick because anyone can sit comfortable while counting money. I next saw J. Henry Zuver tearing frantically along Mm In st. trying to catch up with an oil stock salesman, who had refused to sell him any stock or even allow him to look at his prospectus. F. Albright Hryun of the electric company, was next encountered by the writer. Mr. f'ryan looked vry much relieved, and I learned later that his relief va.s dtp- to the fact he had been successful in walking nut of his onMce without his new electric sin toppling over on him. S. Nathaniel Hershenow of the Tribune, was Just ahead and I followed him into O. Maurice Platner's cigar store, in the hope he would drop an advertising cut or two that I might use in our pape-r to keep our expert checkers not within our organization busy. R. Murray Hutchinson had a prospect backed into the stairway of the Title building when we came along and was angrily shaking his list in the prospect's face because of his refusal to sign a policy in the open air on account of the prospect's lingers being cold. I also plainly saw J. I lllemup Ib.'Havcn, another insurance man. lurking in a ne arby doorway. Chancing to glance up I noied J. Calhoun Irvin, also an insurance man, leaning far out of a window in the Title building, busily engaged in dropping handbills ad

vertising his own wares on Mr. Hutchinson and his prospect, and W. Ignatious Fegan. still another insurance man. was seen to be energetically attempting to signal Mr. Hutchinson's rr-osrect from across the street.

At this juncture, I ran onto K. Hrskine Reeder. the advertising man. who borrowed a dollar to havehis fur coat collar trimmod, and then T hastened back to the ofllce to prepare this article. As I entered the otüee I encountered K. Telephone Ponds, of the Central I'nion. hurrying out. I spoke pleasantly to the man who makes you wait and then charges ynu for it. with no discount before the 10th. and he replied pleasantly with a praiseworthy right which missed me narrowly and struck the Femdell grocery near the gasoline tmk. At the office. T found telephone calls from T. Montgomery Prandon. the drygoods man, and a number of other creditors, all of which I quietly ignored. .T. Firewagon Donahue. America's popular mot'er, then dropped in for a conference on the spring grap crof and by this tim is was nearly 6 o'clock, and I didn't want to wait around a couple of hours until quitting time. I Just adjourned work for the day sine die and privileged the wealthy roofer to drive me home In his big Do ige limousine, trimmed in rat fur. Mr. Donahue informed me that they are having a hard time peruring materials in their business, paiih-ularly tar. as it has been found a lovely brandy can be made out of tar, 10 penny nails, yeast and a dash of ruin water.

This is about all my quiet probe has uncovered thus far. Max, except that Horace Fox. whose middle name is Red, came busting into the otlice last night and let out a yelp that we weren't s-iving funny papers for him. like we promised to. and we want to tell you personally in advance that anything Red sz to you about me In the way of knocking. ir bound to be greatly exaggerated. Just as soon as I get some time. I'll get out and find out some middle names of some of the guys In this town and will submit report with my usual promptness. Surely these birds, a lot o' them at least, must have middle names. Tn fact I know a lotta of them that are a geod deal like me, that's about alt tlvy have got. Yours Until Election. W RAY ARMSTRONG.

The wireless crackled: "Karth ahoy! Take down a message. Mara is speaking!" "At last," we cried, "at last we'll know The secrets hid from saints and sagen Who've thought and studied here below In vain through all the misty ages. The mysteries so long concealed From us Life. Death, and countless others Must long ago have been revealed To these, our solar elder brothers." The aerial clicked: "Now listen, Karih! What do vou do for indigestion?

How much is gas? What's beefsteak worth; How have you solved the servant question? Do you permit light wines and beers'

Or are you dry' And what's the ;
