may elect Mr. Jones chairman or, it may
not.
But IT may truthfully be said that either
of these chairmen could retire at the end
of his present term with weil-earned hon
ors. Nobody can very well question the
fact that Mr.. Hanna's management of his
party's campaign in 1896 was exceptionally
sagacious and successful. He showed tact,
energy and a good grasp of the whole sit
uation and he landed his man an easy
winner Mr.. Jones lost, but through no
fault of his. All things considered. he made
a campaign which for the size of the vote
brought out was a surprise to the one
party as to the other. Who could have
done better with the candidate and the
platform? Mr.. Jones is joked little about
his capacity for seeing success ahead but
where is the chairman who can dispense
with his cheerfulness and his hopefulness
while the battle is on? If the leader loses
heart and shows it, what becomes of the
organization? Why go on. then. with the
struggle?

senator Stewart uttered strong, COM
h.ahdlhS note of practical patriotism in the
debate in the Senate yesterday, which de-
serves TO be heard in all sections of the
country. He said. in deprecat,ng a move
ment to investigate certain bubbles re-
speeding the origin of the war in the Philip
pines:
The legislation increasing the regular
army to 5000 and authorizing a volunteer
force of 5000 men and three regiments to
be organized in the Philippine Islands was
Tor the express purpose of prosecuting the
war and of suppressing the Instruction in
those islands. The war, under the author
ity of Congress, has been carried on for
about eleven months. until it is too late 10
inquire how the United States became in
v"lved IN it. If the inquiry had been made
IN February last it might have been peril
nent but now, after my country is en-
gagged in war under the authority of the
legislative and executive departments of
this government and after thousands of
precious lives have been sacrificed and mil
Ions expended under the authority of the
War-na king power. it is my cOuntryS war,
and the' origin or motive of the cannot
now be questioned. The lives sacrificed
and the money expended in 4 war author
iZed by Congress should preclude any effort
on the part of patriotic citizens to prove
hat the war was wicked in its origin
This is the view which unquestionably
nineteen out of every twenty Americans
take of the case. Congress legislated last
winter for an increased army, well know
ing its purpose. 1t failed to enact any
strictive laws to prevent the prosecution of
a war already begun through Tagal treach-
cry. 1t therefore made that war the policy
of the whole government. 1t is refreshing
to find the Nevada senator cutting through
the webs of pretense and fallacy by thus
declaring his willingness to consider the
war his war, as a citizen well legs-
lator. This may become interesting
matter for the historian to debate from an
academic point of view i'll the years of
peace to come. but it is scarcely profitable
safe to discuss it now, while the enemy
is still active and when every word uttered
in his behalf in high places here may send
a bullet to American heart.

as the New York case can reach, that the
demands of society are as insistent as
those Of the commercial world, and that
the woman who is competent to give advice
upon moot points of fashion or etiquette
is as much of a professional ally as the
counsel of a corporation. Herein Is re-
vealed condition of social life which re-
fleets the strenuousress-to use Governor
Roosevelts word-of latter-day citizenship.
Everything is advanced under pressure.
Just whether this condition means that We
are losing some of our spontanelty by fol-
lowing routines will probably be decided
according to personal views But it does
seem at least that the reduction of the
social system to the basis of precision and
the proportions of profession is not con-
Gucive to the full development of the indi-
viduai and the enrichment of the person.
ality. In any event. the young woman who
has just been befriended by the New York
jury is in a position to declare that the
law recognizes her specially worthy of
reward and doubtless her example and
good fortune will encourage many others
to launch their schemes of social promotion,
confident of an established status.
