BUhu Root, called; by the late Ex- H |;'; President Theodore Roosevelt, th!e •^Y, greatest man in the United States, is &J'?)76 years old. Among- the vast naim- \$#)• ber of telegrams he received on his pt^ birthday was one from Will H. Hays; &£?-chairman of the Republican National J^^.Commlttee. which read as follows: \I ' ^Congratulate the country on EHhu ^;>Root its first citizen^, who has done so It is now generally conceded that President Witeon is the. oqJy obstacle to the rail fleation of the peace treaty. Nearly alt the prominent men of the country, irrespective of party, are in favor of the ratification with necessary reservations. One-third of our paper, wood, and pulp, used In the United States comes from Canada. Now if the,, Canadian* can ship to this country enough other stuff to equalize: the exchange be- tween the two countries, their paper dollars wlN be worth as much here as American dollars. The Geweral Board of Promotion of the Northern Baptist Convention, with tbe co-dperatfon of 10,669 churches of the denomination, are making a drive to raise $100,000,000 to fulfil) five year programme. This work is caMed a \work! movement.\ and the educa- tional work Is to be a feature of great activity. Governor Smith Is probably giving as much thought to \what he may have to do next fall as he is to bis social welfare programme- It is in the book of rules that he may have to ( run again if his party says so even!at If he wouM prefer to enter private, life' without a contest. With tbe others who have no desire to be the Demo- cratic standard bearer It looks as If \Al\ would have to submit to the nomination. IThte railroads are to be turned over to private management on March 1st next. It has cost the taxpayers about three-quarters of a -billion dolters since the government took control. Two thousand five hundred news- papers have discontinued publication irt the United States during the past two years In consequence of the in- creased cost of newsprint paper ana other / m&tferial used In publishing. And many more win be discontinued if the price of print paper continue* to be advanced by the ml He. A large number of the citty papers are reduc- ing the stye of ttvelr publication In consequence of the scarcity of news- print. The votunve of advertising In the big city papers has'Increased In tremendous: proportions, and fhe pro- prietors have become so wealthy that they can pay the increased 1 prices without any loss. But in order to re- Heve tha situation newspaper pub- lishers who issue 20 to 40< pages must cut down their peges 10 to IS per cent. If the Democratic party could an- swer any of the declarations voiced at the Republican convention it would be worth while paying some attention to Democratic-promises. But the fact is it can't and leading Democrats know that the people are waiting for the day when they can return the -Republican party to power. It seems to be neces- sary for the Democratic party to prove every so often that it Is not qualified to administer public affairs. What right have prohibition agents from tills country to go to England too advance the cause of the \drys?\ Eng- land is able to attend to her own In- ternal affairs, and the prohibitionists of this country had better keep their handa off. The\ English press pxpreasoo resentment against outside interfer- ence with the rights of Englishmen to drink what be likes. Probably* prohi- bition would be a good thing In Eng- land, but let her people work out their own salvation. The people of this state and coun- try wi» have little thought to give to persons this fall. The big 4dea will be principles and platforms. Further- more, when the Republican party selects its standard bearers It will not be necessary to inquire anything about who they are. It can be taken for granted that they will be men^big enough and broad enough to carry out the planks In the platform and W ad- minister pubHc affairs intelligently and In tbe Interest of the whole people. Every year for the past few years we have received the St. Petersburg, Florida Independent, occasionally, which announced that on any day the sun don't shine the paper is given free to everybody. Mr. L. C. Davenport sends us a copy marked with the an- nouncement that this is tbe 56th time tbe papers have been given away in 118 months. According to the above statement the sun must shine most of tbe time. However, they must have rain in that country, and it probably comes nights. The farmer buy! more beef than he takes from the farm. Only about ten per cent of meat furnished by .fbe average farm Is beef. In the Northland West the average consumption of beef per family Is nearly 800 pounds, and in the South It is less than 100 pounds. The be«f animal, tdBed for homftkvute, suggest specialist* of the United States Department of Agriculture, may be a beet steer or an unprofitable cow, or a heifer that does not promise: to be a good producer and would not bring a good price tor beef on the market. Very little veal is kilted on the farm for home use. To guard the lines between this country and Canada front the Atlantic to the Pacific and down the Atlantic to the border ,of Mexico and on the Paciflo on whiskey, Senator Warren says will cost $50,000,000 a year in- stead of $12,000,000 previously esti- mated. Tbe Senator said this expense would be necessary to make this a prohibition country, which he hopes can be effected. Senator King said It would be an outrage to make any such vappropriatioh. Several millions of dollars have already been appro- priated to carry out tbJe provisions of the prohibition law. ———- s Thie terms of a temporary agreement for the settlement of the Flume ques- tion have been agreed upon by Eng- land, France, Italy and Japan. Presi- dent Witeon alone dissents. His re- fusal holds up tEe making of peace not only as to Italy and the Adriatic but also as to the Jugo-Slavs. It is re- markable In tbe circumstances that all Italy now denounces Mr. Wilson as unanimously. as it formerly praised Mm? Americans are strongly in favor of the Italians perhaps because we have so many former citizens of Italy in this country. We know them and like them and we could not do without them. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, has introduced a bill to prevent deceit and profiteering that result from the unrevealed presence of substitutes for virgin wool in woven fabrics purport- ing to contain wool and in garments or articles of apparel made therefrom. \<The truth in fabric law\ Is the name officially given by the senator, to his measure which would greatly assist the wool growers of the country. Un- der it every manufacturer of woven fabrics purporting to contain wool would be compelled before offering his product for sale to cause it to be stamped. The penalty for each viola- tion of the act would be $600. Our New York correspondent, Mead writes: Conteniplatlng the conditions at the cabinet table as well as? at the' White House in shocked silence, New Yorkers appear to be aghqst at the outlook for the balance of ther term of Woodrow Wilson. While human sympathy seems to go out from all quarters here toward the stricken man at the nation's helm, who is so ob- viously unable to retain an Intellectual balance on Intimate affairs of state, the Lansing incident appears, to have called forth from everyone ID this town an unhesitating condemnation of thie President's manner and method in re- moving his Secretary of State. Unless some strong man can assume charge of administration affairs for the fu- ture, it Is feared here that the un- certain condition of Woodrow Wilson may seriously rock the national boat in the high seas of post-war panics. The position of organized labor Is a big factor VQ be reckoned with in the coming campaign, and Mr. Gom- pers standB at the head of an \ex- ecutive committee\ of three to pass upon the qualifications of all candi- dates for office—from President down to> members of the legislatures in the States. These three men claim that they have the authority _ of enough union men in the country \to elect or defeat any candidate—and the preju- diced and autocratic Mr. Gompers will spend a season in \darning and bless- ing\ friends and) enemies. He will at- tempt to say who is the friend or the foe of the common citizen. Meanwhile some of the beet men In the country are working on an industrial plan that will afford courts and tribunals for labor disputes and proper representa- tion ££ all earners in industry. >Mr. Gope once undertook sucft-'a\ Job, Frank B. Gilbert. Deputy Commis- sioner of Education, closed his address before Associated Academic Principles Syracuse, several weeks ago, with the following .statement: \Let there be no mdsunderstandjng as to the pres- ent existence of a real pubrio crisis because of teacher scarcity. Without immediate and considerable accession to the ranks of public school teachers, public education approaches disaster, which will ultimately assume tbe char- acter of a public calamity. The teach- ing service under existing conditions can be made attractive only by sub- stantial Increase in compensation, Tbe teacher problem is exclusively one for boards bavin* to do with school ad- ministration. The oniry safe way to preserve awl protect * the peoples schools is to leave with school author- ities, who are responsible to- the peo- pPe of th» several ddstrlot* for the suc- cessful operation of such schools, the determination of all question* pertain- ing to teachers' qualification* and compensation, reserving to the State the establishment of a minimum standard of qualification* and a mini- mum Wving wage\ In Washington the belief does not down that President Wilson is willing to run again. In fact his position with regard to the treaty Is taken as an indication that he believes he can go before the people next faU and win out on that Issue. But again, tbJere la Mr. Bryan—long since \the Boy Orator of* the Platte,\ and today the grand man of his party. Mr. Bryan tried for a tang time after leaving the Cabi- net to remain on close terms with the Presidient, but when the coldness to- wards his proposals became notably marked he; flnaKy turned to his own way, and gradually he and Mr. Wlhon drifted apart No one knows of any \break\ between the two. It would be better to say that the feeling has be- come one of indifference. There are some Democrats who believe that Mr. Bryan-, would like the Democratic nomination for himself, but most peo- ple are inclined to the opinion., that he is seeking to dominate the next con- vention, principally to clinch tbeposl- tlon of the Democrats as the party of prohibition. In doing these acts Mr. Bryan may be expected to foBow his past course of selecting, his own* candi- date for President, just as he did at the Baltimore oonventioru Tbe Nebras- kan has tbe knife In his boot for the chairman ttf the Democratic National Committee and the Governor of New Jersey. Germany's Army Still Large. That Germany still possesses ample mIMtiary power to enforce compliance with all tike terms of the treaty.

This raises the question, how it conies that Germany, whose military forces and armament were required to be reduced to a minimum sufficient only for home protection, still has so many troops and so much armament. It would seem that failure to comply with some terms of the treaty has al- ready been toterateuT* • • . * Bryan and the New York World. The New York World and William Jen- nings Bryan, are engaged In a somewhat spirited controversy. Up to-the present time Mr. Bryan, has the best of the argu- ment In spite of the fact that the great New York dally is noted for the power of its blow and the vigor of its editorials Mr. Bryan is far^juid away in the lead. It will be recaUed^that the'.'World lam- basted the Nebraskan without quarter when he delivered his, Jackson Day speech. There has been a growing, in- tensity in the feeling since then.' Mr. Bryan challenged the World to tell what part of its income .came from the liquor business. The World answered the ehal« lenge and said that only a picayune part of its receipts came from advertising the Tlquor business. In turn it asked Bryan if he was paid for his prohibition speeches. Mr. Bryan now sends on word from Miami,-Florida, that.he Is not paid for' his prohibition or . his Democratic speeches and he sends forth this ringing den to the Pull tier publication: \Providence permitting, I shall be at San Francisco next June whether a dele- S te or not and when the *WorJd' makes . descent upon or rather assent to the convention, foaming like a hiug of beer and raging like strong drink,'the mouth- piece of thB most corrupt band of free- booters that ever defied the constoehee of the nation; I shall be one of an invincible throng of Democrats who will, bury King Alcohol and his wicked crime-creating business so deep, that even Edwards 1 brazen trumpet cannot call them back.to The Democrats and the Democratic press may think that they can boo Bryan down, but any such attempt will: result only in failure. He Is the strongest in- dividual force in the Democratic party today, at this -time far exceeding Mr. Wilson in his personal and political fol- ldwing.—Watertown Times. ^ ; Senator Walters la Right, Senator Walters protests none too soon and none too vigorously, against the pro- posal, to fix the price of; mUk through legislation. The plan of a commission to fix milk prices is vicious in theory and It may easily become dangerous «fc operation. •.\•:••••'•-.. \• : ..•••••..••.\ .' r -- 1 ..•• It is true that Mr. Hoover fixed milk prices for NewvTork during, the ,war. He had expert advisers at least as competent and as fair as a state 1 commission would have. His course was not Influenced by political considerations. Neverthleas he gave a price-which the dairymen have proved was below the cost of produc-; tion. . ' ,'.•'. ... Mr. Hoover made his price schedule stick because the fanners were commit* ted to the proposition-and generally loyal to it that It was theli* duty to produce food. They produced wheat at & profit and milk at a loss, but they produced. The farmers feel tinder no patriotic obli- gation to produce at a* loss now. - ~ The manufacturer of carpet tacks and silk stockings must sell his stock or close his factory- But the dairy farmer is not under similar compulsion. If hia-dairy herd does not make him a profit he can send it to a slaughter house, and puts hts fields to other uses. That is what he. is doing now throughout Central New York. A milk commission may be armed with power to fix the price At which farmers may sell In clty_markets, but it cannot compel farmers to produce milk If they prefer to produce pork or potatoes. Gov» ernor Smith may break up the dairy- men's combination and the distributors' union, but he cannot by* law or public opinion hold a single fanner in the dairy business. If he prefers to butcher\ his cattle and devote his Industry to other lines. . The price of milk to the con- sumer In New York and In mans other cities Is probably too high. But It Is the essential factor of safety and of fair price that the farmer shall receive enough for his milk to make him a profit commensurate with the profit In other lines of farming industry. It Is essential because if he does not make such profit he will butcher bis herds and then milk prices will^inevltibly go higher,—Syra- cuse PosUSUu9<}%rd. , . .- v \ HUH MAKERS g Countrlja abutting Down on import*-—Condanearjtt In St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties Already Plan- ning to Curtail •Production. Daily Times.) Depreciatiop of the value of the money of foreign countries in American mar- kets haa brought aboux a situation which manufacturers of condensed and dry milk in northern New York are viewing with some degree of alarm. Rather than pay the excessive rates of discount which this depreciation de- mands, the English, French and Italian- governments are shutting down on im- ports of condensed milk, and in fact other dairy products, from, the United States. This shutting down has already begun to be felt, for shipments to Euro- pean countries have been steadily de- creasing In the past few weeks. Some of the manufacturers expect that in the not far distant future there may be no the be* ginning to feel the pinch. The Nestles ; plant at Gouverneur, according to re* ports from there, is- not taking as much milk as formerly, and officials of \\ '.future. dfie condensary in county may be turned over to the patron* to be used In making up the raflir as they see fit, and other condensarles are making up lest milk than formerly. • The largest 'condensary fn Jefferson county is the Llbby, McNeil & Libby plant at Adams Center. Practically the entire output of the plant has been go- ing abroad ever, since America got into the war. Shipments were made over- seas on war contracts, and since the war has been shipping condensed mllic to foreign countrisjb. The Rosemary creamery at Adams manufactures dry rollk, and part of the output is shipped abroad. The Rosemary creamery Is still taking all of the milk that the farmers bring, to them, and shipments have been made recently to foreign countries, it warn said by the manager of the plant. However, it Is recognised that the foreign ex- change la a serious problem and that sooner or later the countries will stop buying. it was aald today by one man familiar wjth the condensed milk situation -that some of the northern New York con-, densaries had contracts with foreign countries. As quickly aa these contracts expire the foreign markets are dropping them, he said. I At the Llbby, McNeil & Llbby plant in Adams Center It was said that there had been no curtailment In the pro-] ductlon of condensed milk at that plant, and that all the tollk was being taken! that the farmers could bring. Local man- agers of the plant were, unable to shed any light on the foreign shipment situation, /laying all that was ' handled. from the Chicago office. Although there is ft market for con- densed milk at home, the demand la not v equal to thev supply. .Millions of cans' of condensed milk have been shipped to. Europe since the close of the war. Man- I ufacturers are iwary about laying up a surplus on the theory that the foreign! exchange situation may right Itself soon; andrexports of the product resumed, for, condensed milk can not be stored in- 1 definitely. If kept longer than six months it deteriorates. If foreign money could be restored to par there would be a great-demand for condensed milk as well as other dairy products, manufacturers say. There Is a great need for these products in Europe, and the foreign countries are doing without them or getting them else,- where simply because they refuse to pay the high discount on their money. Foreign countries shut down some time ago on American butter and chess*. England la purchasing practically the enure output of butter and cheese of Australia and New Zealand.
