THE WAR. '
President Wilson's appeal to the
press for striot, impartial neqtrallty
iu tbe Earopeau war is not bemiog
fall fruitage, if we are to jndge by
tbe editorial ntteranoes of Eantern
newspapers, Tbe Obioago Tribune
raises its visoi and exclaims:
"Befoie establishing bell on earth,
tbe piotistio kings oommend tbeii gob
jeota to Uod. Seek tbe Lord's sano
torn for tbe devil's wotk. 'And now
I oommeud yon to God,' said tbe Kai
see from bis baloony to tbe people in
tbe street. 'do pray that a farmer
dragged from a Saxon Held shall b"
speedier with a bayonet tbrnst tban
a winemaker taken from bis Tines in
the Anbe.'"
Obioago Jonrnal: "They are being
fed to the oaonon tbat tbe house, of
Hapsburg may add to its millions of
unwilling subjects, and that tbe boose
of fJohenzollern may be buttressed in
itatule of Oermany by a strong and
grateful uelgbbor to tbe eootn. Tbe
oonlliot brewed in Europe is a King's
war, tnt a peasant's fight." .
New York World: "Oermany bag
rnn amuck, Tbere is no otber explan
ation of tbe Kaiser 'a policy in forcing
a geoerai European war. Fortunate it
is tbat Uieat Britain is oompeiled to
oast her aword Into tbe balanaa with
out further loss of time. . . Wan
tonly and dellterately the Kaiaer baa
plunged bis aword info the heart of
civilisation. The whole world is par
ing tbe penalty of bis madness, neu
tral! as well as belligerents."
New York Times; "At the oonoln
iou of this war permanent peace can
be assured to Europe only tbrongb tbe
overthrow of tbe Hobenzollein, haps
burg and Romanoff dynasties. Em
perors wbo govern by 'divine light'
in this age are not merely a mon
strous aoaobronlsm, tbey are a men
aoe, sinoa great and pioaperoos peo
ples, against tbsir own interest, may
at any time be forced into a war for
the dyoaatlo interests, as that now
going on In Europe shows. It will
he reoalled tbat it was tba sovereigns
of Russia, Austria and Prussia wbo in
1815 formed that conspiracy against
boman freedom known as tbe Holy
Allianoe."
While tbia government will perhaps
remain neutral to tba end, unless un
foreseen conditions arise to endanger
its Interests, tbe ornx of public opin
ion Will continue to pulsate through
tbe arteries ct newspaper and maga
aloe. And tbe die of that opinion baa
alieady been oast. In snbstanoa it is
tbat out of tbe aihes of tba owful oar
nege now going on, in whioh millions
of human beings who for years have
borne tbe yoke of militarism and who
ero now being ruthlessly fed to tba
oauoon, sword and bayonet, will arise
a demooraoy evolving muob tbe same
as that of Franoe in 1870, under very
similar conditions.
To ni it doea not seem possible tbat
the olvlihlng influences wbiob Ger
many baa stood for and given to tbe
world, should or amble at the will ol
au autctatio dictator, wboae mailed
fist has bog. "loved under tbe nose of
about every nation on earth. Nor
will it be passing atrauga when it la
all over, to find that barbario Bussia
bai aonie to her senses, and instead of
being a menaoi to European peace
will have snob a crimp bent into ber
profile that aba will be content to de
velop tbe reso toes of her own domain
befora oovetlug tbe possessions of
others.
Latterly is using tbe United States
Supreme Court aa a politioal asset in
bis congressional oampaign. Be would
lead bin constituency to believe tbat
if reeleoted the court will sustain him
in bis land cases! if defeated, it will
deoide against bim. Great indeed is
tbe power of off ioewitb LaBerty in
offioe. . . , ' .
Belgian belles and German oHioers
forgot tbe borroia of war leng enough
to have a danoe in Brussels. Just tba
way of a woman. Let a uniform
oome along and aba will forget ber
obewiug gum or anything else.
We wonder if "Darius Green and
bia flying maohina" would cut any

Something must be done to oounteraot
the destruotive power of tbose Zep

Tbe Jap and bis little chip seema to
be one and inseparable. And now
while be is parading before tbe guna
of tbe Geiman fort in China, the mil
itary world Is astounded at Austria
declaring war against bim.
"The bear tbat walks like a mania

BRAZIL'S FINE CAPITAL
Rio da Janeiro Is a Beautiful City, With
1 No Poor Quarter.
"There are some cities very beautiful
from n distance, but noisome aud shab
by when once they are entered. Bio
do Jmieiro, on tbe contrary, is beau
tiful tv hen seen from nfai- and Is
delightful on intimate Acquaintance.
The street!' are clean. The main
thoroughfares jne broadband no oth
er city lifs so many miles of smooth
nsplinllcrt streets. Automobiles swarm
mid trolleys abound. The public build
ings are handsome, tho private build
ings very picturesque nnd in northern
eyes," writes Theodore Roosevelt in
the OiitlnnU. "pustiess a most attractive
foreign flavor. .' The Water supply Is
ample mid not only healthful, but de
licious. The sanitation is excellent
For over half tho year the climate ia
delightful, and during tbe remaining
months there Is close at hand a cool
mountain retreat '
"Altogether It is difficult to write of
this city of over a million people with
out expressing astonishment that both
Its beauty and its greatness are not
more widely understood..;, , . ,
"The condition of the poorer people
is, I am assured and as I thoroughly
believe, far removed from tbe misery
of the slum dwellers In the great cities
of the northern hemisphere. Tbere Is
no especial quarter for the poor, noth
ing in the nature of a alum district
and there Is much effort of one kind
and another to provide decent living
conditions for the poorest"
MAJORITY TYRANNY.
Its Despotic Sway, For Instance, In the
Matter of Dress.
Tbe tyranny of majorities is not con
fined to politics. It Invades all fields,
demands obedience from all classes
and brooks defiance of none.
Women tolerate a certain style of
garment because they Imagine a ma
jority of womunklnd at the moment is
demanding it. They obediently follow
suit for fear of exciting attention or
unfavorable comment
Men and women ore bound too much
by others' opinions. Society, of course,
is built on conventions. But conven
tions sometimes become tyrannical.
One should know when to follow their
dictates and wben to ignore them. In
tbe matter of dress, for instance, why
should any one endure a stylo be de
tests merely becnuse tbe majority at
the moment is wearing it? Why should
not a long necked man wear a tall
collar, if he prefers, it, even though It
does cause pain to the chins ot all
sympathetic observers?
Frankly the question is without an
answer. Perhaps people tolerate ma
jority tyranny in such matters merely
because they are accustomed to it A
caged animal presumably knows noth
ing of freedom until be has tasted it

" Just Like the Salad. . v ..
A young man named Smith boarded
with an emaciated aunty . of ample
years, who seemed to take the view
that most any old thing was good
enough to bash up for fodder. One
day chicken salad was served, but it
was merely another demonstration that
there is nothing in a name.
"By the way, Mr. Smith," severely
remarked the landlady, as . tbe meal
progressed, "how do you like the chick
en salad?"
"That reminds me," irrelevantly an
swered Smith, "I bought a book today
and told them to send It around here.
Did it come?" . v
"Yes," replied the landlady, with a
puzzled expression, "but wby should
tbe chicken salad remind you ot it?"
"Coincidence. Mrs. Slymm," was the
mean rejoinder of Smith. "The book
