The greatest vol .ntneef anny and the greatest war loan ciu. history havo been raised by adver tising. However backward England may bc in other Interests, she has taught the world u few publicity tricks. No nation ever spent so much 'money on printers' ink as Englund lins spout in the past year. Millions und millions huvu gone into tho treat advertising campaign for military en listment. Day after day newspapers In every city, and village of Great Britain havo carried page or half-page ads. The billboards everywhere havo been covered with posters. Trolley cars, busses and other public vehicles havo been plastered with placards. In every corner of Ute empire Britons going about their work pr recreation or reading their1 papers have had to taco tho flaunting appeals, dressed out In nil. tbK,$^actlvencss of illus tration and colored ink and startling phraso that the cleverest artists and ? ad-writers of London could deviso. Tho system worked beyond the hopes of )lo promoters. It. has brought millions of rum into thc. British, army ?and billions, of .rooney in,ta.the British war chest. And now the hoary adver tislng guns are being diverted to a new campaign -for thrift! The news paper ads and poslc-rg a;? urging the population to eat less meat and more vegetables, to buy provisions careful ly and consumo' thom frugally, for the salte ot more tqanonilcnl housekeep- > lng, to make Britain's renonrces go as far as possible. If a war can be won by advertising . .-and lt will be, lt England wins-cor- ? talnly the supremo power of the print-1 ed ad ls proved beyond all question.

S _______ Now York has long been regarded by the rest of the country as incap abe of efficient self-government, though ita reputation has improved lately. Here, however, is o surpris ing admission from a big newspaper that New York state is floundering hopelessly in tho slough of political inefficiency. For several months a convention at Albany has been trying to frame a new stafto constitution, lt has already spent more time- ea tho job than it took the convention ot 1787 to pre pare the constitution of tho United States, without making any appre ciable progress. And it must bo re membered that the "Fathers of the Constitution" were working without model or precedent creating a wholly noe system ot fundamental btw, whtle tho Albany delegates can draw on all the experience of. the federal govern' meut and the various states for near ly a century and a half. 1 Now the New York. World, la de-? spalr, seriously suggests that Elihu Root, the chairman of the convention, _*iock himself in his library for forty eight hours and prepare a constitution for the sute ot New York." "We know of no other method," adds the World, "by w'nlch New York can possibly notare a modernised constitution for a modcrnlc-ed state government One hundred and sixty odd-delegete at Albany profesa to ba framing a constitution, but the neces altlea is a s?riai of deals and com I>rom?K('8 between professional poll tlciaus and constitutional lawyer?. These deals und compromises bear no relation wljatevi r to the public wel fare." Other influential power?, re gardless of politics, have Hpoken in mu' li the Hame ?train. The suggestion made by the World ?8 nothing elSO than "the old device in vented by the ancient Homans, for times of governmental confusion and nut?onal danger, aud copied in modern times by helpless I^itln-American re publics-the appointment of a dicta tor. Undoubtedly Elihu Hoot or any one of half a dozen delegates ls able to write a constitution for New York; but is -New York really sunk so low in political cupacity that ll is ready for u dictatorship? 8ure, New Yorkers love their city and revere its institutions and tradi tions. They're going to celebrate the tv/cnty-lifth anniversary o' the mixing of the first .Manhattan cocktail. THE HAITIAN PROTECTORATE. Uncle Sam, policeman, seemB to have plenty of avork out for him. He ic al ready standing guard over the Nlcarau guan government, collecting and dis pensing the customs of thc Dominican republic and planning to restore or der in Mexico. And on top of these tasks he is undertaking a new and momentous job in liayti. The state department frankly an nounces that it proposes to establish a protecrorate. over the liaytlan re l/ublic for u period of ten years. Hav ing suppressed the anarchy resulting from tho assassination of the presi dent-who himself had earned that fate by the slaughter of 150 of Iiis polit' ? enemies-our naval authori ties have presided over the inaugura tion of a new president, and our gov ernment expects thc new Haytian govornmont to agree Lo thc proposed protectorate. It will go farther than any similar arrangement in our history. The plan contemplates control of Hay tl's finances, in order to remove ail tem tallon from professional revolution ists. It is thc loot they fight for, ex plains Secretary Lansing; their pre tended revolutions are really "unor ganized enterprises which involve no question of principle." The people are said to bo starving, though the coun try, ls naturally rich. It seems best to intrude, take charge of the coun try's resources, maintain order and nurse along what slight political pos sibilities the people have, for a few years, In order to save them from themselves. It may be necessary, but lt's a task that Inspires little enthusiasm. Con gress of course will have the last w 1 to say about lt, and thora may bo objection In the senate to ratify ing the treaty. In any event, the Haytlans and all other hot-blooded Americans to the south of us need have no fear that we mean to gobble up Haytl. They may take 100 per cent valuation the as surance given by President Wilson in his Mobile speech that we aro not seeking one foot of foreign territory The wave ot imperialism that swept over tho country after the SpanlB?1 war has subsided. .American senti ment is even reconciled to giving up the Philippines, which we bought with a naval vlcwrv^sad a big Bum of money, ar> soon '' aa the natives aro able to take c?rc ct themselves. The European wac has etvenghtened our natural ropusj^cb/to territorial con quest or ithS osaelirtlon of authority over allon race?.. Tho one thing we are aiming at now in our national life is unity ot spirit and culture. And tho Haytians may rest assured that, even if we wanted to swallow any other group of Ameri cans, we should not bc inclined to choose them. LET THE LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE UNCOVEH Creon wood Journal. We notice that at a prohibition meeting held Sunday afternoon In Chester at which Dr. O. fl. Cromer ?spoke, the chairman of the meeting, R. (D. Caldwell, called on the local option league in Columbia that ls using large space In some ot the pa pers to uncover naming a. noted blind tiger, declaring that he was the only native of the state connect ed with the concern. It seems, then, that the >>llnd tigers of the stnte, and the whiskey Interests compose the league, and that to them the leading (T) papers are selling space. ' The announcement comes from Co lombia that an expert ad -writer is preparing the copy, but no Intima tion ls given as to who composed the league. We are glad to see that neither The Dally Mali, of Anderson, h?r The Daily Intelligencer of the same city carried this ad. The Dally Journal did not carry' it, and lt will not. Its columns are not for ssle to the liquor business It matters uot ta what capacity lt acta whether as blind tigers or liquor houses whole Sale or retail.

Australia, Aug. 21.-(As sociated Press Correspondence.)-On account of the dearth of officers for the 100,000 troops which Australia expects to maintain at the front, youngsters at Duntroon, the Weat Point of Australia, are being commis sioned for commands. This Austra lian school for military training has been established but a few years, mod elled to a certain extent upon the lines of tho famous Institution on the Hudson, and the era of activity through which it Is now passing Is not altogether unlike the era struggle he school has lost its founder, Major Seueral Sir William T.

In addition to this losa eleven officers from the . Duntroon school have been killed at the Oar lancllcs and twenty-one have been rounded.
