Prices of beef, sugar, cloth
ing, Bhoes, etc., are soaring at
a rapid rate since the European
war lias started. And the
chances are that they will
mount still higher in a very few
days. Parties in control of the
'necessities of life seem to need
but little encouragement to raise
prices.
Saved Mothers' Sons
Today in a little Southern
cemetery, there is a new made
grave, and the sexton adds one
more to the roll of those who
people his solitudes.
As the President of the United
States turns away from the new
mound to go back to the great
responsibilities of the White
House, the mothers of this coun
try will contemplate him with a
now and gentle sympathy.
This man was asked in recent
months to bring the shadow of
the grave over thousands of
American homes. It was de
manded of him that he assemble
an army of 500,000 American
boys and send them into Mexico
on an enterprise of armed inter
vention, which meant in fact, a
war of subjugation.
It would havo meant vacant
chairs, empty places and tho
tears of bereavement in thou
sands of American homes. It
would havo meant the giving up
by tens of thousands of Amer
ican mothers of their sons to be
shot in war on distant battle
fields, uven as the boyn of
Euroiienn mothers are laid low
by the rillo fire, the machine
guns and the shrieking shells
these melancholy days.
Vor months the brutal demand
on this man to invade Mexico
and subdue the Mexicans went
on. Because ho refused ho was
cartooned and lampooned by cer
tain kinds of newspapers. lie
was told that ho was making the
"United Slates tho laughing
stock of Europe." lie was
anathematized and pursued. He
was denounced and excoriated.
All that time ho was borne down
by Uio burden of coming bereave
ment. Tho shadow of advancing
sorrow was already settling over
tho Whilo House.
It was by the bedside of his
dying wife that ho wrote his
great mcssago of peace, petition
ing the European nations to
sheathe their swords and be at
war no moro. In vigils by that
bedside, while newspapers of
tho blood lust outside urged Mexi
can invasion, he framed his
policies and wrote his messages
that kopt us in pcaco with our
neighbor nation and saved their
sons to American mothers.
Through all the attacks no
word of complaint escaped this
man's lips. In silenco and forti
tudo ho stood up under his sor
row and wont on winning for tho
homes of this land a mighty vic
tory of pence. -Tuesday 'a Journal.

Tho outbreak of tho greatest
war in the history of tho world
was tho signal for tho establish
ment of tho most rigorous cen
sorship of the news that has
over been known. While strin
gent regulations in tho matter
of informing thn world of tho
dally events, each of which is
bound to havo a most important
bearing on tho final outcome,
were anticipated, nothing like
the existing rigor with which
such information is kept from
tho world at largo was expected,
and, whilo from a strngcttc view
point tho various nations aro ab
solutely justified in keeping their
movements secret, it is doubtful
whethor or not such secrecy will
eventually bo of universal bone
lit. Tho first movo of the Austrian
government nt tho outbreak of
hostilities with Sorvia was to
take over tho telephones, tele
graphs and other means of com
munication, nnd ovory word that
went over tho lines had to uo
passed upon by tho censor.
Naturally nothing which might
reveal the activities or tho
whereabouts of Austrian or Ser
vian forces was permitted to go
through. Hut not nlono in this
respect did tho Austrian govern
ment provent tho world from
knowing what was going on.
War correspondents, several of
whom started out from London
and other capitals, were almost
prohibited from ovon boing near
tho scone of operations. Tho

Then camo tho day when tho
other powers of liuropo stopped
into tho fray, their action taking
point of view, as well as from a
desiro to suppress as much as
possible tho rampant war spirit
that gripped tho nations of Eur
ope as soon as rumors of inter
national difficulties arose.

is definite concerning tho pro

various countries of tho contents
of tho numerous notes exchnng

papors were allowed to speculate
as to their Import, thus en
(inngoring a situation which at
every moment was near tho ex
plotting point. Not that these
newspapers contained anything
which might be detrimental to
tho country in which they were
published, for such information
would havo been suppressed,
but it must bo remembered that
hints and rumors, whether er
roneous or based upon a modi

assisted in determining tho right
