Allen Benson in Pearson's: Forty of the biggest men in Wall street arc connected, in one way or another, with war munitions compa nies or with companies that arc deal ins with them. In addition to the twenty patriots whom I have named arc: Oliver Ames, George F. Baker, Cornelius Bliss, Jr., Anthony X. Bra dy, W. E. Corey, H. Rciman Duval. Pliny Fisk,' John W. Griggs, B. S Guinness, A. Barton Hepburn, Gerald Porter, Samuel McRoberts, C. D. Norton, William H. Porter, Charles M. Schwab, George R. Sheldon. E. T. Stotesbury, Francis Lynde Stetson and James N. Wallace. Every man who is profiting directly or indirectly from the manufacture and sale vi war munitions, may. nev ertheless be purely patriotic when he urges the United. States to be "pre pared" and thus enter the market for great quantities of war munitions. Each of them may honestly believe the nation is in such great danger of war that it should proceed to arm it self to the teeth. Nobody on the oth er hand, is compelled to believe in the disinterested patriotism of those who, profiting from war-contracts with Europe, urge the United States to become a great purchaser of war materials. We have every reason to suspect them and we should suspect them. Their financial interest is too great to justify the belief that in urg ing preparedness they are consider ing only the national welfare. If they are considering only the national wel fare, let them urge congress to place the government in a position to man ufacture its own munitions. If theyj are not willing to do that, they must stand convicted of tainted patriotism. We expect these beneficiaries of war who axe crying so loudly for "preparedness" to forego their pros pective profits? Who expects them to urge the government o become the manufacturer of its own war muni tions? Is there a single syllable of their propaganda that has the ring of honesty? What do they mean when they say want us to have a larger and better army than Germany had month before the outbreak of the war? Do they mean they want us to have a larger and better navy than Great Britain had- If "preparedness" is the way to peace, plainly Germany's army was not large enough nor was Great Britain's navy large enough. How large should Germany's army havt been, and how large should have been the navy of Great Britain? Will our prosperous, patriotic countrymen kindly tell us? Will they tell what this nation should do, if, having followed their advice and plunged on armaments, some other nation should plunge a little harder and exceed us? Having 300 dreadnaughts, what should we do if some other nation had 125? If so, Colonel Thompson and the other gen tlemen of our National league tell us how we could prevent the other na tion from bringing its dreadnaught fleet up to 175? If we cannot prevent other nations from playing the game of "preparedness," is it not inevitable that, once begun, it must go on until one or the other nations is financially .exhausted? The munitions patriot may remark at this point that therein lies our op portunity that we are the richest na tion on earth and can exhaust the other fellow. But suppose there are , two or more other fellows? Have our munitions patriots never heard of al liances? Are we richer than all the rest of the world?

MISFITS Speaking of worrying, an Albany minister gave an example that illus trates very well what the basis is for the average worrying. A boy was seen to be sobbing. He was asked what the matter was. "I feci so bad," he said. "I'm afraid when I grow up I won't have money with which to pay my taxes." Most worrying is the living in the future instead of now. It is easy to sec breakers ahead and a woodpile looks mighty hig before it is tackled. An expert says Mrs. Wilson has practicability, executive ability, gen iality, versatility, converiationality find analytical capacity. There now! Two more Me. people arc seeking notoriety by the Adam and Eve life Milt in the woods. Or. a year or two ago had a dose of that kind of stuff. If Garrison's conscription plan op crates Misfiats is liable to get caught, as he is doing his best to play young. Though winter one's head swims vhencver war figures arc mentioned. This is the week we celebrate. No Dem. Xm. D. Mr. Rryan in his paper accounts for the fact that a minister occasionally joins the jingoes because there was one Judas among the twelve. Let the men who profit by the war. the cannon and munition makers, pay the extra tax. Ford's optimism is as refreshing as a summer's breeze.
