Downfall Of Hoke.

This is a cruel world sometimes. OF
course, habitual pessimism is deplorable
and not to be thought of by nationally
disposed men; but there come times,
nevertheless, when grief overwhelms us
In spite of ourselves-and such an oc-
easion has come to The Washington
Herald.
We sorrow with excessive intensity
over the sad downfall OF our erstwhile
hero, the Hon. Hoke Smith. But yester-
day, and his name might have stood
against the world; to-day there are none
so poor as TO do him reverence. We have
lavished a touching affection on HOke.
Many moons ago. when HOke stood
forth among his fellow-men like star
OF magnificent magnitude, we pinned
our colors 10 him. and entered him at
least TO show In the Presidential handi-
cap. We pointed with pride from early
morn TO dewy eve. How we did love
that man! And how We do still. for that
matterl
But Hoke, in an evil moment. lost his
great big head and went a-wooing false
gods. and Set about worshiping at
strange and unheard of shrines. He
grew, we fear. peevlsh; he sighed. may
hap. for other worlds 70 conquer. What
ever Il was, he tackled small Georgia
buzz-saw named Brown, recently, and
the scraps OF Hoke are scattered all over
the landscape in Georgia, and the pieces
cannot be patched up again. Indeed.
Hokey-pokey sat on a wall: Hokey-pokey
got a great fall. And all the king S
horses and all the kings men can't put
Hokey-pokey together again.
II is sad: it causes us to weepl We
would II had happened. If it must in
gentler manner. We would he might
have been snatched down from his ped
estal by less ruthless hands. We set
great store by Hoke. We looked upon
him as destined for momentous things.
We have often pictured him In the White
House. benign and unafraid.
Alas, that dream has fed. Woe is US.
Hoke the mighty has fallen. and there is
no Joy in US.

The curfew and the Army.

Discharge without honor from the army
appears to be warranted, in the opinion
of some military authorities. by the film
siest pretext An instance OF this excess
Of zeal in applying the army regulations
as a means Of preserving the service from
an invasion by men calculated TO impair
It's virtue Is furnished by the arrest Of
soldier In Colorado and his sentence 10
a county jail because he kept company"
after the curfew hour with a young girl
Of an age which required her 70 be at
home with her mother. The civil Judge
sent the soldier TO the lookup for ninety
commander recommended that the in
carcerated trooper be discharged with
out honor" from the army. as would be
the action in the case of a really hard
ened criminal who had seriously broken
the law and who might as a dlsturber
Of public order spend a long time In the
jail or penitentiary. Such desperate cases
are altogether different from the soldier
who violates a local curfew law and gets
ninety-day sentence by a county Judge
who has strong convictions of his re-
sponsibiiity TO the community. To have
discharged such a soldier without honor
meant a stigma, besides rendering him
unfit for future military duty. In the
meantime, the government would have
lost the services Of physically qualified
soldier for a period Of more than two
years, that amount of time remaining
in the enlistment period of this particular
soldier.
1t IS TO the credit OF the discerning higher
military authority that the reconimenda-
tion OF the company commander in the case
Of the 'curfewed" soldier was emphatlcally
overruled by the War Department. where
esen in these troublous times there must
have been an appreciation OF the humor
of the situation. II is agreeable 10 note
that the soldier. upon the expiration of
his ninety-day sentence in the Colorado
county Jail, will be restored to the United
States army and required TO make up
the time lost 10 the military establish
ment in paying the penalty imposed bv
the civil authorities. One cannot resist
the remark, however. that a company
commander OF sufficient intelligence and
| discretion to be such should have been
| unable TO distinguish between a case
where discharge without honor and its
serious consequences must be given and
that case where the disability" Is of an
Insignificant character. But. perhaps. the
company commander was taking no
chances in these days of occult recogni-
tion Of 'temperamental inhrmIties" among
members Of the military personnel

sion OF this question. For instance,
Canon Bickersteth ottley thinks the ex-
hibition ought to be closed on Sunday,
and says: 1T is an inspiring fact. great
ly TO the credit OF the American people.
that the expositions which closed on
Sunday were financially successful. while
those which were open on the Lords
DAY were a financial failure"
The real arguments against the Sun
day opening come from the British Sun
day Society and the Sunday National
Observance Movement, which adduce the
rational argument that Sunday opening
will be a hardship on the numerous en-
ployes of the exhibition, who are as
much entitled to the one days rest In
the week as anybody else. This plea is
a sane one, and as a result It seems
probable that the exhibition will open
on Sundays for the accommodation OF
the British workingman and the conti-
mental weekend visitor. and will close
on Mondays, so there may be one days
rest.

From the Boston Herald
Democratic responsibility for the trl-

lack of nerve and conscience shown by
the Democratic Senators, and they ex-

Ing as IL IS discreditable 20 the so-called
party Of opposition. There were appro-
priations pending, and these were thought
TO be more important than a party trl-

Therefore, the filibuster was unsupported.

PUZZLE FOR FANS.
How Can baseball Enthusiasts Make
n ChOicef

From the Denver Republican.
The other day. from the johnson press
headquarters. came a story Of Gov. John
sons great ability as a baseball player
how he was a dandy on the bases" how
he never had a glass arm" and how
once he had an offer 70 play professional
ball in a big league, and turned it down
with a sigh"
What baseball fan could read this and
not feel his heart warm 20 johnson? Mr..
Baseball Fan goes to bed with hts mind
almost determined on Johnson as a DO
itical favorite. But in the morning when
he picks Up his paper. he reads that
Clarke Griffith and his bunch OF New York
American League players called on Pres
ident Roosevelt And also he reads how
MIR. Roosevelt dropped a casual remark
10 the effect that Mr.. Taft, while too
stout 10 play the national game. has a
son who Is one Of the most promising
players In the country.
So Mr.. Baseball Fan IS back 10 the

CALL FOR MURRAY CRANE.
HOIdr TO His Convictions and Com
mands Respect.

From the Springfield Republican.
It is not u be wondered az that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the friends Of Sec
retary Taft, who Is booked to receive the
Republican nomination at Chicago. are
desirous that Senator Crane should take
the Craftsmanship OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee. The executive capacity.
the tact. and the sound sense Of the
Massachusetts, man would bo a desirable
asset, 20 say nothing about the confidence
the public would have that a campaign
conducted by Mr.. Crane would be hon
orabe in ali its phases. All factions would
welcome this choice as entirely desirable
from the party point Of view.
On the side Of Mr.. Crane. howevef
there is less 10 be said. He was sought
for this place four years ago and declined
it. The duties OF this chairmanship would
add enormously TO the burdens which a
very busy man is carrying. and the sac
rifce demanded could only be insisted on
n a case OF supreme party need. 1t is
scarcely TO be expected that Senator
Crane will recognize that any crisis cf
the character indicated has arisen. His
counsel and helpful oversight could be eX-
ercised through his membership IN the
national committee. leaving some one to
take the Craftsmanship who is better stu
ated to give TO that Office the continuous
time and strength the coming Presiden-
tial fight Is 10 call for.
But there is one consideration involved
In this matter that is calculated TO please
a good many Massachusetts people. There
I
considered that in standing stanchly for
the freedom Of the Massachusetts delega-
| ton In the national convention Senator
Crane was imperiling his influence IN
/ national affairs-inviting the bolts Of
Jove as II were. There are party men
so constituted as 10 be terrified by an
exhibition Of personal independence. II
Is profitable for instruction when events
prove that the man who holds 70 his
convictions thereby invites more respect
and not less.
The Washington herald., 1908-06-08

At each OF our big expositions the
question OF keeping them open on Sun
day aroused much discussion and con-
troversy. There was something to be
said on each side of the question.
England is passing through the same
trouble over the Franco-British Exhibi-
tion. One result OF this exhibition has
been enormously TO increase the number
OF French visitors to the British metrop-
oils. visit from Paris to London in
volving scarce as much discomfort or
trouble as the trip from Washington 10
jamestown. A great number OF these
French visitors are weekend tourists.
and it is on their behalf that the strong
est plea is made for opening the exhibit
tion on Sunday
In some respects England has more
moderate laws In regard to Sunday than
We have in this country, in spite OF the
close relation between state and church.
For instance. there are few large cities
in this country which allow saloons
to be open on Sunday at all. while in
England the license TO Iiquor dealers
prescribes certain hours Of Sunday-the
hours between church periods-when
they may be open for the convenience
OF the public For a long time. too. the
national museums and art galleries In
London have been open to the public
on Sundays that being the only day on
which a large proportion Of the poorer
of London's population have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy them

Of beer increased 104 gallons, and OF

a declining tendency, while the opposite

The Three Panics.

From the Wan Street Journal.
The panic OF 1873 brought TO an end the
era of paper imitation and was followed
by the resumption of specie payments.
The panic Of 1898 brought about the re-
peal Of the silver purchasing act and
later the definite establishment OF the gold
standard
The panic Of 1907 has produced a law
for panic insurance by establishing the
machinery for the issue OF emergency
money.

Indinerent Conrresn.

From the Baltimore American.
1t has been a Congress marked by in
difference 10 the wishes Of the administra-
tion in vital respects. Although 1t has
some creditable legislation for its record,
1t failed TO read the minds of the people
and adopt the forward policies Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The Republican party
stands committed 10 the principal features
Of the Presidents programme. and the
country at large believes in them. Mr..
Taft embodies them In his articles Of po-
litical faith. So that even those questions
that failed of passage by Congress will be
