Opinion in a Magazine
STATES DUTY OF YOUNG MEN
Draws an UnfayOrable Contrast
Between English and Amer
lean Educated Men In
Politics." Nowadays.

New York Aug. 25e.--In an article
on Educated Men In Politics" pub
lished here In the current number OF q
magazine. Alton y. Parker. the demo-
cratic presidential candidate, draws an
unfavorable contrast with that class
In America and the corresponding one
In England. In the course OF his ar
tIcle. Mr.. Parker says:
"A man who would succeed In busI-
ness should begin at the bottom and
work toward the top, which he may
reach II he masters every detail and
proves himself more sklllful than those
who are vieing with him In the strug-
gle for Its ultimate control. The same
rule applies to politics There are ex-
ceptIons to the rule. but they tend to
prove II, as exceptions usually do.
Young men, therefore. should be con-
tent TO begin at the foot OF the polIt-
ical ladder.
wherever your home may be, there
you will find, upon investigation. a
chance for helpfulness, In nearly every
town. county and city government, the
expenses are rapidly increasing.
Although for considerable portions
OF the increase. corresponding benefits
are being received. the tendency to
wastefulness and extravaganza Is not
only marked. but II already threatens
our municipalities In the not far dis
tant future with a burden that will be
borne with exceeding difficulty. This
is due largely to the fact that men
OF education. supplemented by profess
slonal and business training, are will
ing TO contribute as their fathers in
the past. some portion of their time
and ability toward the duties OF local
government.
''The result naturally Is that too
many men with little at stake and
without any ambition to be useful II

and obtain local executive offices. as
well as those of legislative charac-
ter with most unfortunate results.
This is to be seen on every hand and
as rule 1t is not the fault OF the
local party leaders, who are too often
unjustly censured and held response
BILE for such conditions"
Contrasting these statements with
conditions in England, Judge Parker
declares that different view is held
there OF the capable men OF affairs
In respect to their administration of

London, Aug. 25. England Is suf-
fering from the severest epidemic of
economy she has experienced for years.
On all hands is the cry mo money" and
people are seriously asking "where is
the coln?' 1t is thought an III wind
has swept across the country, leaving a
blight upon most every industry and
upon every man. whether he lives by
his investments or earns a few pence
an hour by the sweat of his brow. The
wave OF depression extends from the
west of London, where the most expen-
sive Jewels are now scarcely ever pur-
chased, to the east coast watering
places, that are suffering from a lack
of patronage, despite the glorious
weather; from east London where the
dock laborers are clamorlng for work
and their children for bread, to the
Welsh ports and to towns where trade
is sorely depressed and again from
Scotland, with Its almost stagnant
whisky trade, to the south coast of
England.
Luxuries are the first to feel the new
adverse conditions, and the decrease in
their consumption is now most marked
throughout the country, Men who for
merly drank the most expensive wines
now purchase cheaper brands or abb
stain from wine altogether. others
who were accustomed to take good

of champagne can be purchased at a

Has Taggart Given Up?

For several weeks the Democratic
campaign has had every resemblance
to collapsed balloon. and now the
Boston papers find evidence close at
home that Thomas Taggart, the head
of the Democratic national committee,
acknowledges the corn and admits the
absolute hOpelessness of the fight he
and his colleagues have been waging.
1t seems that the Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis attempted not long ago to secure
some speakers of national prominence
to help them in the campaign. When
they made their appeal at the Demo-
cratic headquarters they were simply
laughed at and told that as Massa-
chusetts was sure to go Republican
anyway, there was no use of wasting
valuable ammunition there, and so
they ccme back to the Bay state dis
couraged and disgruntled. This week.
however. their spirits revived little.
or else hint was given to them by
somebody high in authority, and they
renewed their requests for campaign
speakers. This time. Mr.. Taggart lis
tened to them calmly and patiently,
and says he is ready to send Massa
chusetts almost any speaker on his list.
The result is that the Massachusetts
Democrats will be able to listen to the
best men that their party can put into
the field.
Now, this change of front on the part
of Mr.. Taggart does not mean that he
believes the Democrats have any show
of winning Massachusetts. He is not
so simple as that He simply recog-
nizes that Judge Parker will be elected
anyway, and is perfectly willing to let
Massachusetts Democrats have any
speakers they want. The doubtful
states are no longer doubtful, If they
were SO at all. Their votes are as
sured for Roosevelt. and the only uues-
ton involved in the election of Novem-
Der is the size of the Republican ma
jOrity. Taggart evidently knows this,
but possibly he hopes to save out of
the general Democratic wreck United
States senatorship for himself in In
diana. and a Democratic House of
Representatives.. Both of these are
forlorn hopes, the latter more desper-
ate and fOrlorn than the former. The
Republicans of the country will not
rest content with electing President
Roosevelt: they will see to it that the
next Congress is Republican by a safe
majority.

aurninu the Dead in War.

The realization of General Sherman's
famous and familiar saying that war
is hell" is much intensified by the pic
ture meagerly outlined by one cor
respondent in the far East. showing us
the cremation of the bodies of the dead
on the battlefield. Although the cor
respondent said little, yet much is sug-
gested by his reference. 1t needs lit
tie stretch of the imagination to pic
ture the horror of such a scene-the
great heaps Of mangled bodies piled
closely and then touched off by
torch, after being stacked with brush
or soaked with oil to insure more
speedy and complete combustion. This
cremation of the dead in war has been
known before but not in recent times
It is done because in that vast strug-
gle now going on in Manchuria. the
extent of which we have hardly begun
20 realize i'm this country, one great
battle is following another so swiftly
that there is little time to dispose OF
the dead by the common method of
burial. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the b0 lies be removed promptly
or otherwise plague might start
which would prove more destructive
than a battle.
II is not difficult to imagine the terri
the
nerves of the men who are detailed for
this grim work Of cremation. 1t re-
uuires greater courage than to charge
into the face of the enemy, or engage
in battle in any form. In the midst
of battle there is an exhilaratiOn and
intoxication that makes men forget
the dangers and blinds them to the
narrowing scenes around them. The
carnage itself is contagious, and men
meet death and give death with the
feelings Of joy born of battle. But
things are different when a soldier
later and cleans up the inanimate
forms that were once soldiers like him.
self. There is no ecstacy then to sus-
tain him, no intoxicatiOn of conflict;
nothing of the inspiration that comes
with the waving of flags, the crashing
Of artillery and the cheering of COM
rades. The enemy about him is now
no longer an enemy. but the comrade,
who lies silently there is comrade
still; and all of them, enemies and
comrades alike, are simply fuel for the
flames which it is his duty to light.
And as the CHASTITY work of collecting
such fuel goes on even the most sea-
sOned soldier can hardly escape the re-
Election that he himself may be part
of the pyre, which will be lighted after
tomorrow's battle. Truly of all the
pictures drawn of war sthere are few
| that harrow the soul more deeply than
that suggested by this correspondent,
who tells US that the midnight skies of
Asia are being lighted by the burning
piles of slaughtered Russians and
Japanese soldiers.
