THE WAR GAME.

New England is all astir over the
great war game that is being played
near Boston. SAYS the Chicago Tri-
bune The army of the "blues' is
guarding the sacred Goldfish from the
enemy the reds" The American
fleet ching theoretically defeated, and
foreign foe has effected a landing at
New Bedford and is approaching the
capital city of Massachusetts, from
the land side. The harbor defenses
being of no value in such situation
the safety of the city is absolutely
dependent upon the skill with which
the blues" are handled by their
officers They number 1000 men
the ''reds" having 5000.
The war game is gaining favor in
the United States. 1t has been but a
short time since a company of cav
airy rode over the Virginia battle
fields. the man gaining a far better
knowledge of the actual movements
of union and confederate troops in
the civil war by this method of study
than they could possibly get from the
examination of books and maps, even
the splendid maps that have been
prepared of some of these famous
campaigns. The professors in the
British army war college have de-
clared the American battlefields the
best for the study of maneuvers.
The war game is on the same or
der Regulars and national guard
are combined In test OF efficiency in
which an approach to conditions of
actual warfare is supplied. There
are two armies, each with its own
camp and a distinct work to do. The
capture or the defense of Boston Is
the aim. The cavalry must serve as
"the eyes of the army" as it would
do in war time. The infantry must
move in such fashion as to reach a
given place at ust the right time to-
prevent success for the enemy The
private soldier or picket, at a dist
ance from his fellows must be alert
A single mistake on his part may
bring disaster. The officers must be
ready for emergencies. They must
know the topography. blunder by
any one of them may mean disgrace
and defeat.
In one way II Is a peaceful fight
There will be no long roll of dead
and dying. But more practical
knowledge of warfare will be gained
by those who participate in the man
euvers than could be secured in long
months of study of books. An army
is of little worth unless 1t is trained ,
And the best way TO train II is to do
as Is done In every other kind Of
game-namely: to practice under the
conditions likely TO prevail in case Of
actual conflict.

The resignation o. William Winter
as dramatic editor OF the New York
Tribune, a post he has filed fol
forty-four years, marks the passing
from active service of the dean OF
American dramatic critics. Appoint
ed under Horace Greedy. Mr.. Win
ter brought to his work as a young
man an unusually ripe culture, a
technical knowledge of stage craft, a
broad knowledge of stage history, an
idealist's belief in the stages mis-
sion, a command of classical Eng
lish and a rare gift of expression.
Truly II can be said OF him that
there was little of foreignness in
his English except its huency."
He has long outlived his contem-
poraries of that brilliant corps OF
writers whose place in journalism
has not been filed. As sole survi-
vor, he has gone on his way making
no compromise with modern CONNER
cial!sm, lowering no standard of art
and reverencing truth for truth s
sake. IL was inevitable that, of late
years, he should cease to be classed
as one of the influential critics. To
the modern play goer and producer,
his name has become more or less
of tradition, but to those who have
kept to their ideals. his passing from
the scene Is the cause of sincere re-
greet. The stage has need OF his
truth, his authority and his courage

they deemed high handed methods Of
running the senatorial convention.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot,
as the Bromides say, and the Padu-
cab crowd has been given a demon
stration of the smooth operation OF
a well built steam roller. All of this
is apropos of the meeting of the
Democratic committee of the first
appellate district convention at
Princeton yesterday, where the
friends of Judge Num-, the incum-
bent snuffed out all semblance of any
opposition to their man by calling
an early primary. We do not pose
as being competent to judge of the
merits of the case, but here is how
is looks to the News-Democrat, the
organ of the Paducah bunch"
"The Democratic committee OF the
first appellate district met at Prince
ton Tuesday Afternoon and by a ma
jority vote called a primary election
for the second day of November,
1909, to nominate a candidate for
the office of judge of the court of
appeals to succeed Judge T. j. Num-,
of Hopkins county.
"In the above few lines the tale is
told and the scheme laid bare by
this paper Tuesday morning was
consummated. At the personal be-
hest of Judge T. ]. Num-, who for a
number of weeks has been making a
canvass of the committeeman of this
district. majority of the committee,
exercising the arbitrary power given
them, called this primary for no
other reason than to keep off any
real or contemplated opposition to
Judge Mum, who is a candidate to
succeed himself.
Machine methods and political
trickery have again been invoked,
and too, by a man who wears the
ermine of a judge occupying a posi-
ton upon the first bench in the state,
And yet some ask why the Demo
cratic party is not the party it once
was in the state of Kentucky. The
answer is plain, clean and clear:
Pothouse politicians who resort to
ways that are devious and deeds
that are dark" will eventually bring
into disrepute any party, in any
land.
THE action of the committee in
calling the primary as they did for
this fall is the most fragrant, out
rageous and indecent action taken
by the governing authorities of any
party in the state of Kentucky in
some years and can have naught but
bad effect upon Democratic party
fealty in this state. The rank and
file of the party does not endorse at
anytime the use of party power to
advance the interests of one candi-
date to the detriment of another.
