?Numerous strikes among students
and, in at least one case, a serious riot
according Jo a Berlin dispatch, have
resulted from the recent notification
by Herr Haenisch, Prussian Minister
of Education, that portraits of the
former emperor and the crown prince
tnust be removed from the schools.
Pommeranian schools have been especially
active. At Cassel twenty-five
hundred public school pupils held an
open-air meeting of protest against
the. removal of the Hohenzollern pictures.
The meeting was addressed by
young Trott Zustolz, son of the former
Minister of Education. His remarks
incensed some youthful workmen
who had joined the crowd and a
general fight ensued. Police and
troops had to be called to restore order.
At Magadelene College, Breslau,
scholars protested against the removal
of two portraits of the former em
peror and replaced them with twc
others to the singing of the national
anthem.
? President Wilson's cabinet decided
last Saturday to call a new conference
to continue the effort to establish
industrial peace. It will consist
of 15 of the most prominent
Americans, without division intt
groups and the cabinet will recommend

While Mr. Wilson's veto of thq prohibition
bill seems to Indicate that
his indisposition is of a mentnl
nature, there is noI Question of the
sonnd moral health 6f the house, and
especially of Messrs. Stevenson, Domlnickf">
Byrnes, and Mann, all of whom
stood by the bill.
The world Is on the vergo of a cotton
famine? and the high prices that
are being asked for the manufactured
product are in full keeping, with the
entire situation except the present
price of the raw material. Raw cotton
is not now bringing anything like
its real value, owing to discriminatory
manipulation; but the probability Is
that at least two or three million bales
of the cotton now in the hands of the
growers will bring more than 50 cents
a pound.
( Of course we want everybody to
read The Enquirer, whether as subscribers
or borrowers. It seems to
us, however, that at tho prico every
family can easily j.ffcrd to have its
own paper, and because there is so
much of It, tho b.orrower imposes on
tho good nature and convenience oi
the lender more "than he is warranted
in doing. It necessarily takes tl
subscriber a longer time to get
through with his paper, and, to have
to borrow it back to finish reading it
himself seems rather hard, to say the
least of it. This point was emphasized
to one of tho publishers over at
the county fair the other day. A
,?Y9JqpttjB^bq^i^er_cajne up sr?H&gly
with'the declaration: "Since you nave
made The Enquirer so much bigger,
I do not like ;it as well as before."
Just a little surprised, the publisher
asked, "Why?" "Well, you see there
is so much of it that I can hardly get
it all read before my neighbors nre
after it," the subscriber said.
\ At last the political wire pullers
representing the private inner circles
that have so long dominated American
finance, are about to dowji John Skel->
ton Williams, the best and ablest
comptroller of the currency the country
has ever known. When Mr. Williams
took the office of comptroller it
was mainly for the purpose of try
ing 10 DreaK up u mig ui wtiuuo
grafters who were manipulating government
finance in such a way as to
insure special privileges and emolument
to those on the inside. For
years and years, The Riggs National
bank of Washington had been the
great central station through which
the manipulators pulled off their
schemes?schemes that enabled them
to reap where they had not sown, and
levy tribute on operations with the
planning and execution of which they
had.had nothing to do. It was from
the Riggs bank that congress was
maniuplated when there was need for
the manipulation of congress, and it
was from the Riggs hank that the
treasury department got instructions

grafted on the inside. Early in his
career Mr. Williams went after the
Riggs bank and showed up the deviousness
of its doings in a way that
left hut little room for doubt that nil
lie charged was true. Rut before Mr.
Williams could complete his work the
political majority In the senate was
changed and now Mr. Williams is to
be choked off with the result probably
that the Itiggs bank will soon be able
to resumte its old tricks in the same
old way.
The enterprise of the publishers of
the Literary Digest in reproducing
lllfcil I11UM UUt't'U>
from typewritten copy by mear.3 of the
photographic proces3, rather than
submit to the demands of the striking
printers, is more or less admirable,
but when it comes to the suggestion
that this departure probably means
a revolution in the printing business
we balk. Among the newspaper comments
we have read on the subject,
most of them, reproduced in advertise'
monts of the Digest, wc have soen but
i few that seem to indicate that the
writers have any practical conception
of what they arc talking about. (5cni
orally speaking, we gather,that most
of these comments were intended for
psychological effect on the linotype
operators; but even from that standpoint
they are wasted. The average
linotype operator knows more about
the whole printing business in a minute
than the average editorial writer
i knows in a month of Sundays, and that
: nil of them are amused at most of the
; things that are being said, wqj are
quite sure. Injthe first place, the pho- ,
tographlng of the typewritten copy,
does not eliminate either the subsequent
stereotyping or printing, because .
after the photographic plates have been
made the balance of the process Is the
same as in the case of linotype slugs.
But that is not all. The Literary Digest
will never see the day when it
can find men and women to produce
such copy ' as Is required for photographing
at anything jlike the cost
that the samw amettmb t>f matter can
prepared in *the linotype* way. Ana

but there is nothing, of permanency^

.HiEveryf man who has ever got anywhere
worth while in an honorabfe
way, and there is no other way to get
anywhere worth while, hks found that
the saving of his first hundred dollars
was more difficult than the saving of
his next'nine hundred.
Any man who thinks that the mete

of life, or even an honorable
worth-while occupation, is a fool; the
same kind of a fool as the man who
wastes all he can get as fast as he

money Is to provide for reasonable

The Great Labor .Problem.
The differences between employer

not be settled during this generation.

are people on both sides who don't
' want justice.and there are people on
both sides who do nut want to be
satisfied. '
All men of real intelligence on both
sides know that things never have
been right, and they are not right
now; also that .they will not be right
for a long time to come.
There are very few reasonably wel\'
informed people who are 'especially
surprised at the present situation, because
they know that the always pre,
sent dissatisfaction and unrest ever
becomes more acute everywhere following
the conditions of t^jic past five
years.
People who feel themselves permanently
established in plenty, ease and
authority naturally favor tno status
quo, and people who aspire to plenty,
ease and authority just as naturally
seek and work for readjustment. >
As the result of the mighty over- (
' turn growing out of the great war,
perceptibly and imperceptibly there is
going on -a worldwide readjustment i
that is making substitutions in the
seats of the mighty, and the efforts of
those that have those seats to hold
them, and those that have not got
them to secure them, is what is making
the present widespread strife.
At bottom it looks like a vain,
selfish struggle, or rather a struggle
of selfishness; hut there Is very little
reason to protest against it because it
has always been s<i and it will always
bo so.
The impossibility of securing industrial
peace under a social and eco- 1
nomic system that is based upon (
greed and gain is as obvious as is ?
the fact that even Christianity, the
only real remedy that has ever been |
offered cap never be. successfully applied

apply to him in exactly the same
measure as to his opponent. ]

THE TAX BOOKS
Under the statutes, tax collections
commence October 15; but no taxes
)uve been collected this year yet, n<
jtate or county taxes. The trouble is
hat the auditor has not yet beei
lhle to turn his duplicate over to the
:reasurer for the reason that the
state tax commission has not yet
famished the i -ito'r with its assessments
against mercantile properly.
There has been a lot of delay and
confusion because of the tardiness o
he state tax commission. There ii
in reasonable blame on the couuuis>lon.
it has hud a lot to do and York
is at the foot of the list. But an' tli
how, the auditor's office has been sub- cl
jected to much inconvenience, and the w
books arc In a shape that means a lo C
of extra work. In the case of mercantile
returns still in the hands ol y
the commission, the auditor has beer jr
entering in pencil the figures made by b,
the merchants, with the idea of a(
changing these figures to ink as soon ^
as possible after the tax commission
reports its conclusions. In the ab- V;
scnce of final, figures from the com- tj
mission, the auditor will have tc go g(
on as he has things now. If later the c,
ebrtlfnlsSioh raises (the returns before y
receipts are1 issued, the excess will

returns are lowered, the taxpayer will ~

and buggies all around the big en- v
closure. The roadway leading to the f?
main entrance was alive with vehicles,
going and coming. At times 8
it was blocked, so narrow was the a
passage and so great was the press, p
There was mud, mud. mud, red mud,/ j,
everywhere but nlong this road; but c
' packed by the thousands of feet, and j,
the rubber tires, the road itself was ti
almost like asphalt. r
Insido the gates were great crowds s
of people from the country Immediate- t,
ly surrounding and from all pertA of- c
the county.' All the school children ^
were not there, of course. There were b
not noarjy so many as there would 8,
have been had the weather been less l(j
threatening during the morning: but
so far as the crowd was qoncerned, it
did not show the lack. And the Win- f
throp girls were there, hundreds of
them, possibly a thousand of them. ^
But' It was not a children's 'crowd j
or even a young people's crowd. ''

It was a wonderfully well temper- D

to cee the exhibits, the races, the n
shows, and above all to see each n

everything, and most people were es- jj
pecially well pleased with the fine "
showing that' York county Is able to *
make in the way of variety and quail- ~
