BISMARCK AND WILHELM
Bismarck said i T "Tli strife of principles which lia shaken
Kurope is one in whidrno compromise i possible. They rent 011
opposite liases. The one draws its law from , what in called the will
of the people. The other rents orr authority created by Ood."
The iron Chancellor denied the truth of the maxim "Vox iop
ull, vox Dei." He insisted that God created hereditary military
despotisms, and that the Hohenzollcrns as exponents of God's will
should rule by a method of "blood and iron."
In 1902 the Kaiser said that the (Jerrnan spirit was striving for
world empire. He saidf" There
research winch is not written injotir lanfcuafje, and no thought w
born of science which is not first -utilized hy us in order later to be
taken over, by other nations."
Wilhelmlike his grandfather, get he crown upon fris-own head,
declaring that it was accorded hira by the will of (Jod alone and not
by Parliament or by any assemblage of the people or by .popular
vote, and that he looked ilpon himself as; the chosen instrument of
heaven and at such performed his duties as sovereign.
Wilhebn is the last strong representative iu the world of abso
lutism. When this war ends, there wilj be sounded the death knell
of ipilitftry autocracy in the earth. J ! J
The forms will remain in many countries
ISut the essential features of democracy will be all but universal.
And government-of the people by the people for the people
will be dominant in ajl lands. :'
, "Well, you are going to renominate Governor jVVithycombe ; but
are you going to re-elect himt" said a Democrat to a Republican,
in Salem yesterday. Yea. The same influences of justice and fair
ness and patriotism that will renominate the Governor this month
will grow, stronger for the election in November. And Oregon is a
Republican atate. (Though this same Democrat asserted that there
are a lot of Republican voters in France; which .is acknowledged.)
And a lot of Democratic voters in France, too. .
- . If the Rumanians, Bohemians and other Austrian soldiers con
tinue to join the Italian army, 'Italy will soon have' more soldiers
than she needs. She was already rich in man-power.
Uindenburg wants to "come back." Everything, for him, de
pends on this; But that stone wall is growing stronger daily.

Many fiendish traps have been set
by the Germans opposite one of the
American sectors. One of them is
a system of hidden wires which set
.off buried bombs when touched. Ant
other Is the attaching of helmets,
bayonets and ' other souvenirs to
bombs by means of hidden wirei.
The news resort adds: "So far, the

heard a few things about Germsn

It helps one to appreciate the mil
itary significance of the losj of be
tween 4000 and S00O machine guns
by the British, since March 21, to re

It. 000 machine guns a month; and

After Prussia had rolled Denmark
of Kiel in 1864, to serve as basis fur
future aggressions, and had annexed
Alsace-Lorraine in 1S71. with its
Iron mines to produce the gun4 for
her coning campaigns; the aspira
tions of the llobenzollerns were de
picted In a Swedish humorous papur
of 1871 In a poem which made quit.?
a sensation at the time. Mr. C. J. A.
Holmgren, of Concord, N. H., write
an exchange that he remembers thU
poem from bis boyhood, and for the
benefit of readers In general he glvei
thtirrougn translation of It, as near
as he can recall it. As Mr. Holmgren
says, this poem shows how. even at
-that time, 'I keen observers foresaw
t,he evils that were to come as tho
result of the .pernicious tenets of
Bismarck and the sky-aspiring am
