While Mr. Bryan Is sincere In his artton and without doubt scrupulously follow Inj; what h< bel|e\es the d?ctate) nf a finely at tuned erins? lern e, ur believe that. 1n th? circumstances, and oui of blind loyalty to the lore man In the White Hoirie, who steered us safely f ough thp Mexican Imbroglio and whose pos ition at the helm since the European cataclysm developed has been a hun dred-fold more trying, we would, foe the timo being, have put aside our personal notions of war and have stood by our chief, saying. In the words of Martin Luther: "Here I Bland. I cannot do otherwise. Ood help me'" When a man readies the age of forty-odd he is almost fifty. NEUTRAL SUPPORT The morsl force of our demand that Qermsny reform her submarine meth ods ls Immensely Increased by the fact that both Switzerland, whose sin cere neutrality ls unquestioned, and Holland, traditionally a friend of Germany, have aent notes to Berlin on the Lusitania affair making the ?ame representations that were made In the American note. Both of these nations had citizens killed on thc Lusitania. It is Bald that Norway and Sweden, which have similar causes of grevancc. may follow suit. In Holland the feeling ls running especially high. According to the Hague correspondait of the New York Evening Post, Holland ls ssking: "Why these unkindnesses? Why should we suffer in order that 'Ood may punish England'? Why are our ships torpedoed, our fishing smackB brought to Hamburg r.nd their catch sold there? Why are no end of Hes circulated about Holland? "Only to make a new enemy, to be able to say, 'The whole world ls against us'? Really, that seems to be the only answer.**. Someone bas produced s seedless spple. A wormlSAft one would be more pleasing. EXPORT MONOPOLY SWASHED lt didn't take the British govern ment long to learn that it was bad policy to give one American firm and a banking firm at that--a mono poly of the American war supply bus iness. From the American stsndpolnt, of course, the system was intolerable. No war orders of any sort from Great Britain were to be distributed to American manufacturers except through J. P. Morgan, and ordern from France and Russia were largely placed under the same restriction. The inevitable result, no matter how fairly Mr. Morgan and his associates might try to apportion the orders, was that 8omo interests were favored and others Ignored. The freedom of com petition which wo have so vigorously Insisted on In our domestic commerce was destroyed. The chorus of protests raised by In dependent manufacturers eager ann prepared for the export trade, bui barred from participation by this ar bltary arrangement, opened the eyes of the English dictators. Their eyes were further opened by objections at home. English critics debared that under the Morgan management, the orders were limited to a group of fi nanciers and manufacturers repre senting only one 'Ifth of the American industrial productively that might be st Gfeat Britain's service-and this at a time when the whole BrltlBh cam paign was haltet! for lack of supplies. So the Morgan export monopoly has been revoked, and any responsible American firm will now be allowed tn negotiate directly with tiie British war office. Similar freedom ta assured in seeking contracts with the other al lies. Democracy ia restored in the export trade. A New York pastor told a congre gation of young ladles that marriage ls a lottery.

THE PRINCIPLE OF IT (New York World.? Offering apologies and reparation for torpedoing the American ship Gulf light, the German foreign office make an admission of great Importance. The commander of the submarine did not see the flag until the instant of firing. Ko supposed that hr was attacking an enemy ship. Herr von Jagow thus concede:? in principle every point made by the United States In the pending controversy. If Germany had observed inter national law, its agent would not have made this mistake; Germany would not have wronged a friendly neighbor and Germany would not have been railed upon to present exc?sese and promises of indemnity. Obeying the law, the commander o the submarine would have visited ind searched the ship. Obeying the law. he would have set her free on the iiiHtHnt that he learned her character. Obeying the law. even if she had been an enemy merchantman, he would not have torpedoed her until he had re moved her passengers and crew. He fired first and investigated afterward. The fact that submarines can not do the things required by law does not hange the law, and it does not relieve any civilized power of Us obligation lt) obey the law. Employing such instruments against commerce on the high seas mu!;t inevitably lead lo just such errors as that for which Germany now expresses contrition. When this lawless use of submarines was inaugurated neutral nation? were warned to keep their shipping out of the war zone, and there was a plain disavowal of responsibility on the part of Germany for any "accidents" that might enBue. The notice in Itself was a violation of law. Nations aa well as individuals are chargeable with the natural consequences of their a< ts. Wrongs that follow logically upon the heels of threats are not often explained under the head of casualties. In view of its acknowledgement In the ease of the Gulfllght. unless Berlin is prepared to go from humiliation to humiliation, lt ls difficult to see how lt can make even a further pretense of defending its deep-sea assassinations of merchantraent. Those who honestly make amends do not persist In offense. Diplomacy triumphs when apology begins. A principle accepted In one in stance must rule in all Instances. Every consideration that moved Herr von Jagow to act honorably In the matter of a single ship wantonly assailed must urge very forcibly the cor rection of the whole policy tb it made such a blunder possible. HANDS AL (Columbia Record.) The Record has heard of some mag I nlmoua transactions in real estate in this city recently.

Miss Mary was the possessor of a diminutiv? and immature speclment of the Ovis Aries, a wool-bearing and ruminating quadruped, whose flesh ls highly esteemer by persons to whoso gustatory organs its flavor is agree able.

And to whatsoever locality, conti guous or remote, whither Mary's frag rant fancy, the call of duty, or per chance the parental mandate, impell ed her, when not otherwise engaged, to betake herself, this Juvenescent re presentative of the genus Ovis Aries, with a fidelty remarkable In one so Immature and inexperienced, could be counted upon with absolute and entire certainty to accompany her.

We read much about the healthfulness of sleeping out, but I have not read any explanation as to why it ia more healthful to sleep out, other than the stereotyped advice that "fresh air is good for us." I therefore venture to suggest that the reason of the bene ficial Tesult is that the moro dense the air the less action is required of the lungs to sustain normal animation. Inside the house it may require as many as half a dozen inflations to secure the same amount of oxygen that would be secured by one inflation of the lungs in the denser air. Therefore it seems reasonable to conclude that the lungs become quieter and the whole physical system also becomes quieter and the whola man, lungs, brain and all, goes more soundly to sleep in the deueer out aide air. When the weather is cold enough to require fire for comfort, the air !n all ordinary houses and rooms is lesa moist and vital than the cold, dense air outside, and as a consequence when one entera auc'i a place the action of the respiratory organs becomes more laborious, so much so ic extreme cases BB to manifest itself to us and we say the room ia stuffy. > A health department bulletin published during extreme cold weather advised : "Don't stay in a stuff- room any longer than you need to get out,** Stuffiness is manifested through resistance to breathing and in no other way. The degree of stuffy unwholesomeness ia plainly indicated by the degree of breathing relief felt when stepping from such a room or house out into the cpen air if it ia not sufficiently stuffy to attract our attention while inside. Again, outside, in cold weather, sufficient oxygen ia contained in so ?mall a quantity of air that one can breathe as nature intended, through one's nostrils, and this explains the rapid recovery from bronchial trouble. Other things noticeable in those who sleep out are less snoring and fewer stories of horrid dreams. They sleep. A Washington preacher advocates the establishment of a school for training wives. The beat school for a girl to become a good wife ia a good home, with a good mother. The great trouble ia, there are so many mothers who don't care about training their daugh ters for housekeeping. They want to make ladies of them, and hare them sit in the parlor crocheting, playing the piano and reading the society novela. Now the influence of a good mother is such that when the time comes for a daughter to make her own home she will cook all right and be able to attend to all the details of her home. It if the indifferent and foolish mothers who make poor housekeepers of their giris and bring upon them, matrimonial hazards. , There, is a wonderful preservative in the spirit of a home, and it has saved from misfortune and ruin many a boy and girl. Where these influences are lacking, didactic teaching in a training .school will be beneficial, but there will bs nothing that will take the pise* of a sensible mother. Lucky, indeed, is the girl who has one. Ko matter what ene* s sta tion in life may be, if ha it habitually idle from choies, his character in every direc tion undergoes disintegra tion. If he be dependent on daily toil aa a meena of support, he is likely to become a criminal and prey on his fellow-men. If he be able to live without work, he will, in all probability, become morally feeble or dangerous. Idleness ia far more potent in its influence upon character than il . either earlier training or environment The first a man who works may rise above; to the second he may be superior. American character ii derived from ancestors who were ac busy with hands and brains building a great nation that few of the corrupting and enfeebling vices of the old world idle classes found lodgment here. As a consequence, our forefathers were a sturdy taos of men and women. They may have been narrow' ?nd puritanical, fcnt they worked to achieve for na a country rich in resources and in safety. If idleness fol'ows wealth it will be transmitted rapidly to those wno sra not wealthy, and sensuous ease or vicious crime will sap tbs life si the American nation.
