Though anti berman in sentiment, we know some folks about here who will applaud thereat. MUK AT AM HATE. "Tho constitutional rights of Amer ican citizens should protect them on our borden! and go with them throughout the world, and every American citizen raiding or having properly in any foreign country I? entitled to and must be given the full protections of tho United staten gov ernment, both for himself end hU property." The above quoted lines are a. plank from I he Democratic platform adopted at tin- {{altimore convention in July 191 li. It is mighty good Democratic policy, splendid Republi can policy, excellent Progressive policy, and. in fact, good policy for aby political party that might al ready exist or ?pring up hereafter in thin country. There are those who are ever ready io criticise the present administra tion and contending that the policy outlined in the plank above stated has not been adhered to by the president. Probably the president has not dealt as firmly with Rome of il " belliger ent powers of Europe as ?orne of the Jingo hue would have wished, hut. looking hack over the Mexican ex perience we are not sorry that Mr. Mr. Wilson handled the situation as he did. And we shall not complain If he handles the present somewhat htralned situation between this coun try and Germany with the same far sighted wisdom. Thirteen Leup to Safety-Headline. Crash, goes another superstition. THE COUNTRY BANKER. The country doctor, the country minister, the country lawyer and other persons of various professions in the smaller towns of tho country have from time to time come in for moro or IOBB treatment at the hands of those who would do obeisunce to them. Not in any of this do we recol lect ever seeing a word of apprecia tion for the country banker, truly a person who is a power for good in his :ommunlty and without whom any of these other? would find existence next to an impossibility. Thoughts along thia line bring to mind a splendid tribute to the coun try banker in the editorial columns of a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune, whl?h says: If Diogenes were to return to the world today with his lsntern and tub. this time In search of the man who knows most about his fellows, would he spend his time on tue city street corners? Would he find the mau who knows men and human affairs best in State street, or Wall street, ir Fifth avenue, or University ave nue? The bigness of his surroundings hun been the city man's undoing. Complexity means departments and de partment BpecillBts. The ribbon clerk knows literally everything about rib bons, one vice president of a metro politan bauk everything about foretgu exchange, and the humble president of a railroad knows all about hurd hearted bankers. The city man doe? not meet men. He learns the name of his first neigh bor above by reading of his suicide or divorce tn his newspaper. Henry Grady cut short a New York career and packed up for rural Georgia be cause no one in his fiat was able to tell him about the little girl the un dertakers had called for. No one In the block knew more than that she was a little girl. The country doctor, the country parson, the country lawyer perhaps lead those who know their fellow men, but a place must be made also for the country banker. True, he does not nee men and women in the tonscBt moments of domestic life. That ls reserved for the country doc for, and. tn a lesser degree, the minis ter. Like the lawyer, too, he is limb ed to men for the most part in his dealings. Women seldom borrow and only Infrequently require the services of a lawyer. But modern economics have* armed the lender with questions and the en tire business life of the community passes In review before him. Busi ness ls done on borrowing? and tho man as well as the transaction passes under the Inquisitive eye of the tend er In the country bank. If the farm er wanta new machinery, the bank er learns the cost of farm machinery, the different grades, the different manufacturers, the uses, the savings aa compared with the less modern methods. The astute lender also dis covers how much wheat the borrower has. what the production la per acre, what other assets the borrower baa, and why lt 1/ that he la ont of ready cash. In ?me the grocer, the lawyer, the doctor, the smith, and the station agent will knock at bia door with the story of their Uvea and ambitions. Every loan la a symposium ot other men's businesses. Add a dash ot Im agination, and the country .banker can be umbered among the "wise men ?of the world. THE WORLD THAT WILL BE (From the Toronto (Jlube) Home one said that other day that the present war will prepare the way for '?ht- British peoples to control the world." WITC that the issue, then, indt-ed, hud the cm!fled nations uf Britain and uf the world suffered in vain and wasted their life for nought. Prophecies In the old Testament are Interpreted Ut meau the reunion uf the United Stat?-? of America with the nations und .ountrit'H of the British Empire intu one gigantic wurld power, whose wurd would be law and whose turee wuuld beut down resistance. Tin- dream ls va in. But were that dream to come true it would be a wurld cuiamity mort' tragic than the war itself. There must be nu wurltl-mastershlp by any nation; not German, nur Russian, not Oriental, not American, and. please (Jod. not Britain. No nation is good enough to stereotype the national aspirations of humanity. No race is pure enoguh to make its life blood the motive power of ??ll the world. No people ure so near perfection that their culture is flt to dominate civilization. When any nation sets itself tu muid all peuples after its own Axed type the Greut I.ord Cod does as Ile has done many times in history: Ile smashes the pattern and bgeins again. World power hus wrought the downfall of many an empire. By that sin Germany today begins to totter to its fall. There wus a place of service; service to the minds of men. in delivering them from false philosophies as Kant and Hegel had already done; servite to the botlies of men. in making the mysteries of nature yield their secrets for human good; service to the roula of men, lu making truth more compelling than prophets ever told, more splendid than poets ever dreamed; servit:?- to all the nations of all the world, tn making the brotherhood of man in the neighborhood of races the supreme policy of statesmanship. That matchless place In history might have been Germany's hud she yielded to Christ's Wlll-to-Serve. Instead, sh? was beguiled by Antichrist's Wlll-to-Power. By world ambition Germany lost Paradise. How then can Britain hupe tu win by it? But Britain has learned the secret of the more excellent way. Again and again has Astjuith told lt. Not by might, not by power, not by brute force, nut by ambitions autocracies, not by selfish alliance, not by armed peace. That is not the new British note. All that jungle statecraft ls gone damned and oomed by its Inevitable collapse into Its own inescapable hell. And over uguinst all that diplomacy of deceit Asquith sets "the partnership uf the na tions" in willoh "a'pluoe shall be made and kept for the little peoples and the entailer kingdoms^-their free place in the sun." Partnership, not antagonism' Cooperation, not conflict: Law, not. force! justice, not power! Equality for all, because mastership for none! For that Britain ls ready to die. For that America ought to be flt to live. Nothing less ls worth while. Nothing else matters. PROMISES AND PERFORMANCE (Chicago Tribune.) One of the soundest warnings de livered by leaders of American thought ls that which Col. Roosevelt bas of late year frequently given us. The warning ls against Ul consider ed pledges In the form uf sweeping treaties of arbitration. Be careful, says Col. Roosevelt to our statesmen, not to promise mure than you are sure the nation stands reudy to per form. Tiiere ls statesmanly foresight and sound sense In this advice, though superficial and emotional optimists may deem, lt cynical. In times uf peace when no pressure exista lt Is easy to multiply treaties and promise arbitration of all mestlons. We say, "Why not dispose of ull possibilities of friction anti conflict by urrunglni: pacific adjustment In adance of trou ble?" The answer ls that unless the pro mises are founded on a wise consid erativa of all they involve and of whu: the nation would in fact do when even the most extreme implication mat?rial it?s we may be confronted by the al ternative of breaking u pledge or suf fering a vital injury. In Europ- thoughtful men are reading lessons In events to the same effect. The other day Maurice Mae terlinck, the Belgian philosopher idealist, declared that the exampie of bis country showed the Inefficiency of International law In war. "If lt hue not been for the treaty of London and The Hague treaty there ls nc doubt that wc would have been spared aggression. Thc neutral powers huvc not even lodged a protest against tue violation. Resolutions by peace con gresses are mere scraps o fpaper." The principle underlying these con clusion applies also to the excessive pacifism which has been given expres sion within recent years. Mr. G. H. Fowell, writing from landon In the liibbert Journal on pacifism, makes the fol lt) wing significant remarks: "It has been suggested in certain quarters that 'after the war,' ut a period, that ls, perhaps distant enough for impartial contemplation, our poli tics w!F have to be 'inore Utopista than ever.' We must not have our belief In humanity 'staggered' by any amotin*. of individual atrocities nor our tempers permanently embittered even by years of strife. We must look ubove and beyond the hope for bet ter tilings, though the eagles, red In beak and claw with rapine, shriek uguinst our creed. "But there 1B a sense in which this counsel may appear somewhat alarm ing. For the last ten years our coun try may be said to have been indulg ing in an orgy of idealism. Of the ethereal pabulum upon which ull liv ing nations must feed in their measure Great Britain may be said to have had a surfeit. "Clearly, If our general apd Inter national attitude had been less Uto piste, if our most prominent official spokesmen and jo;t. nulists had shown a little less pious horror of war ot violence ami a Ilde more candor in asserting English rights and duties, there might ne*or have grown up in the mind of an ambitious and unscrup ulous enemy the Impression, clearly traceable in the state papers, that we a sa nation should remain neutral under almost any conceivable circum stances. "In any case and at any time those who lay down the principle or me chanically reiterate the maxim that 'we must not fight' are likely thereby to involve themselves in the reality they dread." Of the "ethereal pabulum" of Uto pian pacifism we In America are hav ing a surfeit, and it is highly desiror ble that an antidote be administered before we pay a disastrous price for our self-deceit or our unconscious deception of others. ?

(Detroit Free Press.) lt would be illuminating to learn how far Dr. Santiago Perez Ariana, delegate from Colombia to the Pan American financial congress, repre sented home sentiment and particu larly official home sentiment In the speech for America solidarity against European aggression, which he made before his fellow delegates in Wash ington. It might be even more il luminating to discover just how far he interpreted general ouht Ameri can sentiment. Dr. Trian o.'* speech was both a warning and an appeal. "We in America should be prepared to make our inviolability stronger every day," asserted the Colombian delegate. "There may be distrust even in lov ing families. There may be. dark corners in the past history of thia continent, but ?let us see that in the fu ture Our harmony ls diaphanous, transparent and clear. Let the dead past bury its dead. Let the nations here represented in solemn and for mal fashion make lt manifest that none of them covets the territory or any other and that the homes a:id territory of each shall be sacred." This has directly very little to do with financing and commerce. It re flects rather the ^plrit one might ex pect to find at a conference for In quiring into means of mutual defense. It Is a eg"tottegh It is a "get together" utterance born of a very distinct fear, a plea that the nations of the western hemisphere stand shoulder to shoulder and for get their differences before an out side menace. In the suggestion that the deed past bury its dead, lt ls Im possible not to find a hint that Co lombia, for the common good, may be ready to forget Its difficulties with the United States over Panama. In the whole expression of senti ment one Inevitably finds a strong suggestion that South America is re vising ita Ideas concerning the pres ent day availability and desirability of the Monroe doctrine as a rallying point for the two Americans. The whole tread of the utterances by Senor Tr ?ana. representing a na tion st odds with the United States, Is significant, but just how'significant depends of course, on how far it ls officially Inspired. * FUNNYGRAPHS ? ? ?

"Take him out!"-?Boaton Tran script. UNIMENT Naval Louses in the Straits. (Brooklyn Eagle.) The successful torpedo attack on the BritlBh battleship Triumph, oper ating lu the Gulf of Raros lu support of allied troops, again emphasizes the serious nature of the task facing the allied forces at the Dardanelles. Al repdy the British navy has lost more ..attie.' /lips in this operation tbau have been sacrificed in all other naval operations put together. The Ocean and the Irrestible were sunk by shell fire cud torpedoes sent from shore tub<*3 in the much-criticised sea at tack upon the Dardanelles on March 18; the Goliath waa sunk by a tor pedo from a Turkish destroyer while operating In conjunction with the allies forces, and the Triumph was the victim of a Turkish submarine. A floating mine accounted for the French battleship Bouvet. It is evi dent that thus far the Turkish de fensive on land and sea has proved Itself superior to the offensive strength developed by the allies. Will this discrepancy continue? The news from Gallipoli Ir.ilcates that within the past week both armies have been strongly reinforced, the allies bring their strength up to 90,000 men, while the Turks have added some of the forces which were operating against the Russians in the Caucasus. This Indicates a forthcom ing clash of decisive importance. The allies can not permit the Gal lipoli operatlones to drag. While the Turkish forts are still in action the invaders' hold on the' peninsula is pre carious. French and ,British troops are operating far from their bases and are dependent upon sea com munications. A serious defeat on either flank might threaten the en tire landing army with capture or an nihilation. A severe storm might In terfere with communications or at least prevent the wavshlps from ren dering effective assistance to tho land, forces. A speedy advance effected' with whatever Sacrifice In men may be required, ought to commend Itself to the allied commanders. As for the Turks, they are ones more protnhg to the world their abil-' Ry to fight. If they would prove as tractable to Instruction-in the - gen tler arta of civilization ss they are apt pupils In the arts of modern war the world might become reconciled to their Continued existence as a nation. ? ?_ 4> ?
