Democracy's Other Enemies.
The Profiteer Rides Hard.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
(CopjrtlhU HIM
That's gointc a lonif way back
for soup " -said the Western jren
tleman, -when they offered him ox
tail aoup.
Congressman Fess, of Ohio,
chairman of the Republican Na
tional Congressional Committee,
eoes a long way back for ammuni
tion, when he dives into the Civil
War in search of reproaches to
be hurled at Democrats.
.The country just now is not
' thinking about the Civil War. the
War of the Roses, or the war in
Lilliput, but of a war that seems
to be ending .satisfactorily for the
United Stated In this war all
kinds of Americans Republicans,
Democrats and Independents
have done pretty well under the
guidance -of Woodrow Wilson. He
happens to have been elected as
at Democrat, but is first of all an
American citizen, doing his best
most satisfactorily, and worthy
of thanks and support. He will
have important reconstruction
work to do after the war and
asks that you vote for Democracy
to co-operat with him. Dont do
it if you dont want to, but .don't
get mad about it These are
happy victory days; be cheerful!
An outline of the allies' peace
terms makes it probable that the
world will hear soon of the Kais
er's abdication, or of Germany's
refusal to accept terms offered.
Imagination could not map out
a more complete surrender than
Is demanded in neace conditions.
When it is over, the Hoheniollerns
"will have less power than Na
poleon left them.
Allies to .occupy the great Ger
man fortresses, including Heligo
land, the fortified cities of the
Rhine, and the Erupp plants; the
German army to be demobilized,
the Kiel, canal made an open
"waterway, the German air fleet
put -under allied supervision
that Is a program that the Kaiser
could not accept and continue to
call hhnself Kaiser. He will Boon
'know, probably, how Bismarck
felt when he was dropped over
board, about thirty years ago.
The whole world, including
stock gamblers', who are dealing
on a cash basis, fearing to buy
or se& too much or too little,
seems to think that peace is
coming -that the terms will be

tJcally -out of the game, and' if,
It- h true that' Tnricey has ad
mitted the allied fleet into the
'Dardanelles, giving allied sol--diers
the right to land and de
mobilize' the Turkish army, that
settles the far eastern autocrat.
The sick man of Europe has
gone to bed.
Men and nations are educated
by time and force.
Almost two hundred and fifty
years ago, Richard Rumbold,
standing on the scaffold, said:
"I never could believe that
Providence had sent a few men
into the world, ready booted and
sparred to ride, and millions ready
saddled and bridled to be ridden."
Rumbold couldn't believe it, and
ftr that reason they killed him.
Hundreds of thousands of others
have died on the scaffold and
little nations have been wiped out
by the power "booted and
spurred."
Boots and spurs worn bv auto
cratic riders, galloping through
theworld on the backs of millions
saddled and bridled, apparently
are pow to vanish as controlling
forces.
That, however, will not mean
Bn end of the world', problems.
TJonopolistie combinations, se
cret deals that make life dearer
and harder, arc not eliminated bv i
any clause in the magnificent '
peai
beir,
peace treaty for democracy that is
eing arranged at Versailles.
The profiteer wears no boots
and no spurs, but he is a hard
rider, ami millions know what it
is to feel his weight on their
backs.
There will be plentv of work
for democracy to do whcii it fin
ishes with autocracy and removes
the imperial boots and spurs to
the museums of curiosities.
In a brief speech In the House to
day. Congressman Apdeison of Min
nesota indicated that he recognized
it would be Impossible at this time to
secure legislation to prevent profiteer
ing in rentals In Washington.
Mr. Anderson repeatedly has urged
the House enact profiteering legisla
tion. In order to force such action
he has been holding up the resolution
to continue" appropriations for the
food stimulation work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the month of
November
Ills purpose has been to compel the
two Houses to agree to the food

The United States Government to

request for an immediate armistice
Similar action Is expected to be
taken shortly with the Austrian ap

These actions will place in the hands
of the Versailles conference appeals
for peace from all of the central
powers.
The original Turkish not was de
livered to the State Department
through the Spanish Ambassador,
Juan Rlano. on October 14. It n
signed by the charge d'affaires of
Turkey at XJadrld and delivered by
him to the Spanish foreign office Oc

Austria on the same subject. It ac

program laid down by the President In
his message to Congress Januarj ft
and in his subsequent declarations, es
pecially the speech of September 27.
