THE NOTE ?0 ENGLAND
Great Britain and Germany are
both disappointed by Secretary Lan
sing's note of protest against British
aggressions. One regards it aa too
strong and the other us too weak.
From the fact alone a neutral may
gather the impression that our gov
ernment bas steered a middle course
and is trying to prot?t American In
terests impartially against offenses
from any quarter.
It was necessary to deal with Ger
many first, because German wrongs
were committed ugalnst Amcricun Ufo
und British wrongs only against
American commerce. With most of
the ('orman controversy out of tho
way, and Home promise evon of satis
faction in the Lusitania matter, our
government is upparontiy determined
to devote its attention to England for
a while. And the purpose is thc same
in both cases-to maintain tho rights
of neutral nations in war time against
ali icirfngcineui on thc part of bel
ligerents.
In pressing our caBO against either
Germany or Britain, wo aro acting
not merely In defense of American
properly Interests, but as tho cham
pion of international law in . behalf
of all nations, for both thc present
and tho future. It will mean much
to mankind If our principal aims can
bo accomplished, .and a substantial
body of International law caa bo sav
ed from the wreckage of war.
There will presumably bo no relax
ing of energy In pressing our claims
agatnBt England; 'hero certainly
should ho none. There is no hint of
force, no threat,- in-' our demandB, but
there is tho Intimation of .moral forcu
which In civilized international rela
tions ls more potent than bluster or
violence. . "' .
Wo do not recognlzo tho legality of
England's blockade of Germany. It
it becomes genuinely offectlve and
operative against all nations, wc will
recognise lt. Even then - wo ^cannot
admit England's right to take our
ships Into prize courts "on suspicion,"
subjecting them to vexations mid
costly delays. We cannot let her use
us as an Instrument for unlawful
retaliation against Germany, nor can
We 'ot her discriminate against our
legitimate commerce1 'in favor of her
own export trade. .
Our differences with England are
probably not lyreepricllable. There
has boon aroused, as yet, no very In
tens?, feeling en cit li er. side. Tim
controversy may be Ironed out by
diplomatic exchanged. If not, the dis
puted pointu can be submitted to tho
Hague Tribunal, in accordance with
our British arbitration treaty.,
In any . event, lt would bo well for
United Statos to toko the Initiative In
calling , an international - congress af
ter the war to nettie, ?once tor all, tho
status of International; law and Us
bearing on tho. new problems raised
by the war.
POISONING WAU HORSES
According to ? staff writer of tho
Chicago Tribune, rip'stranger ls al
lowed to pat a horse's nose In tho
Chicago stockyards. Anybody who ap
proaches a horse lu friendly wise 'ls
met by the btunV, bfflclal order from
a guard, "Go away from, thar horse's
head!"
Why? Oh, morely because strang
ers have been. Willing' and maiming
the horses. Some have'killed the poor
brutes with,poisoned syringes in tim
stockyards. Others, have. ham-stru;-. 7
them with knives lp the cattle cars.
For xhe stockyards aud railroads
aro now la ! the"war zono." Horses
aro being .shipped- In largo numbers
to Europe,.end there are always*"war
bugs" trying, to, interfere with the
shipment?:..
"Half of ;thp European war Is be

dealer. And so tho dumb brutes dar
ing" every moment, of their long trip
from tho witera ranch or farm to
the European.market, must be watch
ed to save ; them from the. poison and
the knife. ,?teck man, railroad man,

THE ?.NHIDIOUS CANE
Ever and anon the cane tri?.-? to
rear UH head in America. It in try
ing today, though without much suc
cess except in some of the big eastern
cities. MoHt of the country ls frankly
against it, regarding a walking ?tick
in tho hand of any able-bodied man
ns au offense against democracy am'
a peril to free institutions.
And yet th ano originally was a
sign of democracy and freedom. It
came into use in France in the eigh
teenth century, as a substituto for the
sword, whicli only tho nobility was
allowed to wear. Its uso spread un
til a cane became the universal badge
of a gentleman, even conquering thc
sword in social usage.
That condition has persisted In
E<:/opc. If a man wants to be treated
respectfully In any European city, he
must carry a stick. To bo without
one ls to bo set down as a member of
the serving class pr the proletariat.
Dut we Americans have our own
standards, and the voice of the nation
is unmistakably against the cane.
MAKING CHICAGO CLEAN
Chicago has decided to make Itself
"the cleanest and best behaved city In
tho world." That would bo a con
siderable choro for Chicago, If it
wero not animated by the Indomitable
motto "I Will/ In all matters of
municipal reform, It might as well be
understood at the outset that where
Chicago will' thore's a way.
The way in this instance ls the en
listment of civilians for pollco duty.
Tho police forco and tho uplift so
clotios are collaborating in a plan to
organize a volunteer citizen police
forco of 20,000 members-men and
women both-to help tho regular, sal
aried police. There ls to bo one citi
zen In every block bearing the title
of "civic co-operator." He will have
a card signed by tho mayor Indicat
ing this authority, and may also wear
a star eu his chest to impress law
less or irreverent fellow-cltlzons
The enrollment ls already under way.
It's a good idea, this impressing
citizens' into tho municipal service
We have had lately numberless, or
ganizations of civilians for the na
tional defense. If civilians are to
save tho nation,, why not the city?

yfiW YORK AND JITNEYS
Wt
.
Now New York City is grappling
with ? the jituoy bus problem. A jit
ney company has applied fer a fran
chise to operate ita busos north or
Fourteenth Street; aud the Interbor
ough, which hus a monopoly ot the
transportation trahie, is trying to
block it.
The monopoly's argument is inter
esting. If tho jitney buses are intro
duced^ says the Interborough, the
public will tide on them, because
people naturally like automobiles and
fresh air. Even the surface trolley
lines have been gaining in patronage,
because tile people wont use the sub
ways When thore's any decent way to
get about above the ground. In Lon
don tho motor bUBOs are said to have
interfered with the trafile of the sub
way lines! A similar shift of pat
ronage i ?Kev;. York, might bankrupt
the.subways..
' Therefore, argues the Interborough,
tho city should refuse the jitneys per
mission to uso Ute 'streets,, and thus
compel, the. public . to ride under
ground; i -
It may bp a' perfectly vatld argu
ment from .the standpoint ot.tho In
terborough stockholders. But how
abought the light ot the public?
If the New "XorK public, merely to
swell tho proiits ot a powerful trans
portation monopoly, will stand for
being herded like cattle in Ita stuffy,
ill-smelling sub ways when lt might
ride in tho fresh, wholesome outdoors
Where hunytn betngs' bolong, the New
York public ls even more bovine than
usual. ?

STORAGE OF COTTON
SUBJECT Of BULLETIN
Washington, Nov. 12.-lt 4s very
important, according' to the special
ists ot th? United; States department
of agriculture, that all cotton that is
ino morkoted when ginned "should ho
stored or placed in a position where
it will ho proteoted from injury b/'
moisture. Where cotton is oxposed t >
?aln lt is subject to perionis injury,
and where it ls sheltered but left in
contact with the wet ground; it ls
likely to become seriously damaged.
It is frequently the caae that people-;
do not realise the amount bf damage;
that is done. In many instances cot-'
j ton appears from th? oubdde of the
bale to be In fairly geed condition,
when it is really badly injured inside
due to the fact that'moisture hasbeen
allowed to penetrate the bale, thus
causing mildew.
It is not unusual, according to the
department's data, for cotton to suf
fer; a loss of from-$3.00 to 3^5.00 pe?
bate as a result .Qt unnecessary ex-:
poBuro. At all thnes lt should bo.
kept off,tbe ground and properly. sheN'
tered. . Where it is impossible to place
it In a warehouse:it should.b? ?rs

ground, and covered'wltVtarpaulins.
Protected In this "way, h. c?? .be haul
for six months or even; a ;year w.r.v.
very little' damage. '?.
In Dome sections the farmers and
business men have organized com
panies tor tho'purpose of constructing:
warehouses in order to protect thc:
cotton. This, tho Investigators be
lieve, la a mbvo in the right direction;
and every community should ;tsko
thia .preca/utlon where tho warehouses'
now available are not ample for tho
protection " of the cotton crop;. They;
point out, however, that many of'
these communities ore making a ser-,
douo mistake in constructing cheap
warehouses.' It has been- shown;
