I,
An atrocity of unusual ferocity oc
curred Monday moi-niiiK. Mr. It. liar,
riaon Plymnlo bclntf forced to walk
to his loafing place. It Ih not sur
prising that Bolshevik Ism is tnsiuK
root rapidly.
THE I'liKSlDKNT'S veto of the mmy reilm-tiim bill is a ease of
"Jlr." Wilson. As Sam Wythe points out in the last Saturday
Evening Post, the strange ease of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is no
stranger than the case of Dr. and Mr. Wilson, two conflicting per
sonalities, one capable of the biggest vision, and the other capable of
the smallest action.
The President is unable to see in the condition of the world or
the needs of the United States, any such change as would justify re
duction of the force from 280,000 men. In other words you gentle
men had the effrontery to reject "my" League of Nations, the Ameri
can people had the effrontery to endorse this rejection, now you ca
all pay the piper in increased appropriations for the army and navy.
That is the only conclusion to be drawn from the action of tl;
President at this time. That the President does not represent his
party is shown by the vote of 92 democrats to override bis veto. II
tloes not even represent the judgment of many military men, who hav
recently testilied in iavor of a reduction in the standing army, and
concentration ot efforts upon a trained citizen reserve.
As has been previously pointed out in this column the changed
economic conditions in this country and the world, justify this action
It is not armed invasion this country needs fear, it is European bank
ruptcy and internal financial paralysis.
The immediate problem before this country is to reduce outlay
and increase income, cut off drains in non-productive directions, and
concentrate upon activity in productive and constructive channels
tins tloes not mean non-resistance, pacificism or any other isms. It
merely means 'business sense, cutting the garment to fit the cloth
cdjusting immediate policies to meet the greatest immediate dangers.
1 he best insurance against war is first to place this country in a fi
rniicml condition to wage war. The outstanding problems of the im
mediate future are not to be military problems, not international
problems, but domestic and economic problems. When business nor
malcy lias been restored, when methods to liouidate the war debts have
been devised then will be the time for increasing military expenditures
above the irreducible minimum, and not until then.
the first business is to put Uncle Sam's house in order. Decreas
ing the outlay on his military establishment is the first essential step
"The pofillcal status of Iceland is in
some ways peculiar. In effect it might
be said to be an autonomous state in
partnership with Denmark. It has no
army or navy and Is under no obliga
tion to contribute either men or money
to the Danish military forces. Den
mark recognizes the country's perma
nent neutrality. Furthermore the pres
ent arrangement is only temporary,
and after December 31, 1910 either of
the associated countries may demand
a revision of the "Act ot Union" which
now unites them."

THE WAILER.
A COLD, wet wind blows from the sea and puts rheumatics
x. in my knee; my sole remaining tooth gets sore, and aches
until it seems a bore. The wind comes sighing from tho sea, all
(lay and puts a crimp in me. But on the hills, some miles away,
the breeze is warm throughout the day, the sunshine on tho land
scape glows, and there an old gent might repose without an ill to
cause him grief, without occasion for a beef. Why, then you nsk,
do 1 remain, upon the seashore and complain? Alas, I could not
happy be, where everything is fair to see; unhappy is tho wight
who wakes to find his person free from aches; he has no topic
and no theme to justify a roar or scream. I sit and watch the
seagulls wheel, and tell tho world how tough I feel, describe the
ache that racked my head last evening when I went to bd, detail
the symptoms I possess, and analyze my .soul's distress, and life
seems sweet and full to me, when dank winds come in from the
sea. I might be freed from all my ills, they tell me, if I sought the
lulls, but, then I'd have no good excuse for shedding tears to beat
tho deuce.
Iceland Lacks Ice and Railroads
WASHINGTON, D. C Carrying Ice
to Iceland will appear to most persons
tiuout us reasonable as carrying wheat
to the Dakotiis, cotton to Texas, or
beans to Boston. But according to re
cent press ilisputches tho Icelanders
liuvo inndo nn appeal to Norway, tho
nearest European country, to ship
them Ico In ordur that they may save
ineir burring harvest from spoiling be
cause of tho mildness of tho present
winter. Some of thu paradoxes of this
supposed land of Ico are dealt with in
tho following bulletin issued from the
Washington, D. C. hoaduuarters ot tho
National Geographic society:
' Tho land which has cbnie down In
history as Iceland might with more
accuracy have been given a diametric
ally opposite title, and called 'The
I.und of Klrc' The surface of no other
country, perhaps, Is so deeply marked
uy tho withering blasts that well up
from time to time; and in no country
or equal area are to bo round so many
volcanic peaks and vents. Nearly 6000
sn.ua re. miles or the -lO.otiO or tho coun
try s area nro covered by lava riows.
Winter In Capital Milder Than In
Milan
'Iceland is approximately tho size of
Ohio and about S00O square miles lar
ger than Ireland. It Is only a short
distance off the Kuionewtird coast of
Greenland, and its northernmost cape
just touches the Arctic Circle. From
there thu Midnight Sun can bo seen,
in spite or its position so near the
North Pole. Iceland, thanks to the Gulf
Stream, has a relatively mild winter
climate. Reykjavik, tho cardial, is In
the same latitude as Nome, Aluska.
but has a January temperature milder
limn that or Munich, Gcrnianv, or
.Milan. Ilaly.
Icelandic summers, however, me
cool, duo to tho large fields of ice that
float down from the north. Grain can
not he grown satisfactorily, and nil
breadstuffs must bo imported. Hay,
potaloes, and turnips uro tho only
agricultural products of uny Impor
tance. Cattle, horses, and sheep ore
raised in considerable numbers, and
largo quantities of rish chiefly cod
and herring are taken from the neigh
boring waters.
Though Iceland has an extensive
area, for all practical purposes li
might Just as well be only a seventh
Its actual size. Although ""uropoans
emigrated to Iceland ubout seven hun
dred years before Old World colonies
were established in the now tamed
North America, only tho valleys and
lowlands noitr (he coast of the island
nave ever been developed. This is not
because ot a lack of energy on the part
oi i no nurdy Scandinavians who set
tled the island, but because the inter
ior, comprising ubout six-sevenths of
tho total area, is a wasto of lava. bind.
iters and gravel, dovoid of vegetation.
America's Discoverers Came Frotr
Iceland
i no island is approximately 200
miles wide und 300 miles long, but
hardly a habitation can be found more
man 10 miles from suit water. There
are no railroads and few carriage
roads. Tho Inhabitants depend almost
entirely on water transportation along
me coast and m the many fiords.
"Iceland can be considered the half
way-station between Europe and Amer
ica. Nearly 700 years before Columbus
sailed to tho West Indies through the
warm south Atlantic in his relatively
large, decked ships, daring Scandiuii
vlan sea rovers in their oxm boats
passed irom Norway to Iceland und
from there to the coasts of Maine and
itliodu Island.
"Though Icelanders, faced by iiuplac-
aute natural rotccs and conditions,
have been unable to achieve any great
degree or physical development on
their luvu-covured, short-summered
Island, they have tnndo notable ad
vances in less inuterial fields. A truly
remarkable literary development
sprang up in this far northern .island
In thu twelfth and tmrteenth centuries,
a full hundred years before the Kttnais
sanco began to make itself fort in
sunny Italy.
Married Women Keep Their Own
Names
"In more recent times tho Icelanders
have shown themselves to be in Ad
vance ot many parts of the world in
their social und iwlitlcal Ideas. Women
had full political privileges in Iceland
earlier probably than iu any other
civilized country. At the present tinu
part of tho Althing, the Icelandic par
liament Is elected by proportional
representation. Votes for women is
not the only murk which feminism has
piuceu on the life of leolaud. The cus
torn of women retaining their own
names when they marry is more gen
eral in Iceland, perhaps, than iu anv
other modem country.
