No Place For Barbarians In

. The conduct of lloumailia in Hun

fill Americans with disc.u-"-t and al
most obliterate the admiration and
friendship hitherto r. I! for that ally.
It has gone much further than heli-
v.iiii-n inian.-u iiunt..ii .,,. e,

1 vailers to recognize even tne iiiitln-'iy
rules ol war.

showing the utter sh'tmefulues.. of it

Mora than tr-i-nty shows have been
TJn to EverVOlie tO Ease the
Burden.
What President Wilson has said !o
the raillead sh ip workers appliiM tc
every industry and to every foria of
economic activity In America.
" Any substantial Increas'- of wag
es In leading lines of industry at this
lime would utterly crush the general
campaign which the government is
waging with energy, vigor and suh-
slantial hope nf success, to reduce the
I high cost of liv ing.
"Only by keeping Ihe cost of pro-
duel inn on lis present lev el, by in-IcreaMu'-l
production and by ri::id ee
,oimmy and raving on the pari of the
people can we hope for large d-creases
In the burdensome cost of liv
ing wliich now- weigh, us de.wn."
Sie-n a view is naturally dis.rp
poinling to the men imirc.'dia'ely con
cerned, and lo every group of em
ployee., which has been hoping for
a raise i'.l pay. Hut there can bu no
iiuesllon In the minds of tie n ami
.women who take a broad view id Hie
situation thai this is1 Ihe way to go
about it.
(Jen ral wage raises do not solve
ihe ;o-obleni; they only complicate It.
because prices rise in their turn,
and Iheie is an ii-c-'iiding spiral of
pay .-iiul priie-. prices and pay. in
stead of a satisfactory adjustment.
.There are 11 ndouliteilly injustices

world that need :itr:'..i;h!eniu-: on!

l'lesdelit and suggested over and over

and newspapers givine the qurstioa

It is lime that tile facts were fac

Any strike, by diniiniaiing produc

ecHtion (f the London Mail.
In every oilier directlou the positlou
ol! men ami women, with regard to
irutTiairf, is equal. It Is quite ridieu
Iniis that it sliould he an liouorahle
tl ing In a man to love a W'tman who
docs not return Ids aUVctiou, and yet
he a disgrace to u woman to love un
linked. A proposal from the in tin clears
the air, and it would he the same with
one from tin? woman.
id the present erudition of things a
woimiii often wastes the hest years nf
her life on almpe. It would he much
hetter if .she eouhl .say In the begin
ning: "I like you, nnd if you like me
u- much as I like you. let us spend our
lives together." It would he quite sim
ple for the man to iply. ff he were
of a different mind: "I am sorry. Of
curse, I like you, hut I do not feel like
going Into partnership."
The woman would then put him out
of her mind and go uhout her business,
r.i.ikeii hearts heal in time, ami It is
po.-sihle that hearts would never get
beyond the wounded stjigu if tills plan
Were adopted.
Tlire is a serious reason why It
should bo adopted. Some hadiy wound
ed men are feeling much ns if they had
eliaueed places with the women. They
do not have to say, 'Wi!l you keep
me?" when -they propose, but what to
t belli is almost as had, "Will you keep j
yourself?' !
It would be n great relief to many
a rrippled man In love if proposals
were taken out of men's hands.
In the present .circumstances no nice I
girl could bring herself to propose,
however willing she is to keep herself,
however mueh she loves tlie man.
There is no need to fear that the

the oilier kind of girl. She proposes

JOHNSON
-TflAIL WILSOft
OPPOSITION TO I.EAGl'E VILI
TOLH THE COUNTRY. .
(liy Associated Press to The Observer)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Repub
lican Senate leaders today discussed
plans for sending speakers ucninu
President Wilson during' his tour of
the west. 'The Republican senator,
Johnson, of California, will probably
be the principal speaker and the pro-'
posal under consideration is to have a
special car covering the same terri
tory that the President does, with Re
publicans speaking in many of the
same cities a few days after tho
President.
In preparation for the task befoi J
him, President Wilson has been ad
vised by Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray
son to give most of his time before
Wednesday to recreation and re':t.
Night Fly Fishing.
Tbe qwstlon ttH "bother or not
trout will rise to files by moonlight Is
one that has long boon discussed In
the Adironditcks. A number of Adi
rondack guides have Insisted that they
have taken good catches of trout by
moonlight fly flshlng. Others of the
woods brethren, however, have merely
smiled when one speaks of snaring the
speckled ones under the light of the
June moon.
Some fishermen claim to have taken
them that way, while others say It Is
merely a fish story. Apparently about
the only way one can prove It to his
own satisfaction is to go some nioon
Pght night to waters where they know
trout are nnd try It for themselves.
There Is, however, no doubt regard
ing brown trout taking flies at night,
nt least not In some waters. Arthur
Munsil Malone recently secured seven
fine brown trout from Salmon river,
whose .wnters were bathed In moon
light at the time. Saranac Lake Daily

Honor for the Cowbell,
Never again can the cowbotl be
looked upon ns something merely
bucolic, commonplace and utilitarian,
connoting nt best for the city man
memories of idling away a summer hol
iday In the country. What the cow
bell has meant to the country boy In
early rising to do stable chores, nnd
tedious hunting through swampy bot
tom lands for the heifer who appears
to have no homing Instinct It is rather
dMlicult to express politely. Hut now
tlie despised cowbell haw ncjiieved Its
r.potheosis, for thanks to the Ingenuity
of n' Calif ornia composer, n set of
them, "covering n chromatic range of
an octave ami a half." was used In
the symphonic music of this years Bo
hemian drove play. This, perhaps, In
some smnll degree makes up for the
fearful contemporary misuse of an
honorable If lowly Instrument by jaxa
bunds.

Our Water Problem
An annual municipal water fam
ine confronts the CKy of ha Grande.
It la imperative that this problem lio
solvad and In solvlns it I.a Giantlo
must expend many thousands of dol
lars. There are nt least '20. 000 acres of
.Hid lands In Ciratnio Rondo Valley
which, under existini; conditions, do
not produce piol'italilo crops of any
kind. These lauds, if properly irri
gated, would raise valuable crops ol
rain. hay and other products, thus
adding annually many thousands of
dollars lo the agricultural returns or
the valley. The land, not now worth '
to exceed $20.00 to $25. HO iper acre,
would, after Ii rication. be worth at
least J 100.00 per Here. There would
he 1.5il0.0"0.00 (a conservative es
timate) added to the property values
of Union County.
