NEMESIS ON DECK AGAIN.

There was. year or so after the Democrats car
ried the House, when they seemed to have lost the
traditional Democratic genius for doing the wrong
thing at all times. They persisted in doing about the
right thing, and it was most disconcerting to their
adversares
But there is cheer now among Republicans.
Democracy has reverted to its established practices.
The most ardent ambition of the House leaders
seems now to be daily swipe at Mr.. Bryan, quite
regardless of whether he is right or wrong. They
took in the matter of the Money trust" investga-
tOn apparently regardless of the fact that Mr. Bryan

Washington knows Henry Cabot
Lodge as man of letters. but only a
small circle of Washington knew his
poet son, although most of the laOer's
work was done here. A Life of George
Cabot Lodge" by Henry Adams, issued
by Houghton. Mifflin Co, is a tribute
to the rare literary art of this young
man. and an Illuminating accompani-
ment to his Poems and Dramas" a

says Mr.. Adams, was a passion. At
Harvard, in Paris, in Germany. his
studies made him master of Languages
and literatures as few men OF his age
had become. During all this time he
was writing, and after his return to
America, he spent the most of his
brief years of life in persistent liter
ary effort.
Yet She was not recluse of the IL
brary. He was of strong and athletic
build, and he loved the out-of-doors.
He was his fathers secretary in Wash
tngton, and he went into the Spanish
war as cadet on the Dixie. He had
home, and wife, and children. His In
terests were broad, his humanity abun-
dant. But his life was the not uncom-
mon tragedy of the poet-incessant in
spiration, incessant struggle of soul, a
measure of achievement, and death
when the promise was greateH. He was
but thirtY-siX years old when he died,
two years ago.
Mr.. Adams biography is sparing of
praise, as # fearing excess through AZ
fectionate bias. The reader of the
Poems and Dramas" will discover for
himself, however, that George Cabot
Lodge Is to be compared with the major
poets. 1t would be difficult to find. in
all English literature, more even ex-
cenence of poetic form or dignity OF

LET LABOR MEN SPEND
SOME TIME IN CHURCH

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
An article under the caption Urges
Democracy in the Churches" by the
Rev. Mr.. SteIzle, which recently ap-
peared in several newspapers and which
is being reproduced throughout the
country, is a detriment instead of a
Benefit to the cause of labor as we'll as
that Of the church.
Among other Inconsistent things the
Rev. stelzel says '"That the church
would never get the support of the
common people until they become as
democratic as a barroom, where a
nickle on the top of the mahogany and
a glass in the hand makes a man equal
to every one else in the place"
Judging from this statement, the Rev.
Stelzle is the wrong man to be lead
er in the MEMS Forward" movement,
inasmuch as such talks as this one
would certainly tend to keep men from
the church rather than bring them in
to 1t. Does not the reverend gentleman
wage-earner's worst enemy, but is do
ing more than anything else to hinder
the great work of the church as well
as that of every reform movement?
would ask the Rev. Stelzle, how
about the man without nickle! How
long can he remain in the barroom?
Is he still the equal OF the others when
his last nickle Is gone? This same man
es without even a nickle and will be
q ven as cordial a welcome as the
wealthiest in the congregation. What
greater democracy does the Rev. Stelzle
wish for?
It is needless to state that 1t is the
imperative duty of the Rev. Mr.. Stelzle
to advise the labor men to spend some
of their leisure time in the church,
where they will receive genuine sympa-
thy comfort and help, rather than in
the barroOm where many dollar Is
spent that should go to make their
homes brighter and their families hap

JUDGE HOOKS DECISIONS
Favored THE RAILROADS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
read your editorial on the falldown
of Judge Hook with considerable inter-
est. 1t seems to me incomplete, how
ever. The 2-cent-fare decision, which
Mr.. Taft approves, was in the interest
Of the railroads, asked for by the Santa
Fe. The Jim Crow decision was also in
the interest of the railroads, and also
asked for by the Santa Fe. It would be
very easy matter to dig up another
judicial act Of Mr.. Hook asked for by
the attorneys for the Santa Fe, the most
infamous and unjust ever rendered by a
judge in the United States.

LOOKS LIKE INVASION
OF MEXICO NECESSARY

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
1t looks as II. after all, we will have
to invade Old Mepico to protect the
lives Of our citizens.
/ consider that 1900 of our invincible
regulars could march from the Rio
Grande to the City OF Mexico without
serious opposition.
General Scott did the trick in 1851
and never lost a battle, and never had
over 1900 effective men in his army.
The Mexican soldier is the same to-
Gay as he was then, and It is we'll
known fact he will not stand in front
of the American soldier
am sure the country will sustain
the President in this measure.

PRESIDENT AND THE VETO
Taft's Wholly Unnecessary Defense
III Of the Function Which He Haa
wv So Mlsused. 7a

Mr.. Taft at Columbus, O.. under
took to convince an audience that the
veto is good thing. As II 1t had
ever been questioned! The president
at times seems afflicted with literal
myopia. ,&ST lf7s
Mr.. Taft has vetoed every measure
calculated to bring relief to the peo-
pie from excessive living costs. The
wool bill, the cotton and steel bills.
the meat bill. the farmers. free list
bill, all were killed by Taft's veto. He
has perpetuated the plundering Of the
people. And his defense is an acar
demic discussion of a presidential
function constitutionally bestowed.
To be sure. those bills came from q
Democratic house. But it was to that
same Democratic house Mr.. Taft's
reciprocity measure was committed.
The Democratic house might. In ef.
feet, have vetoed the presidents bill.
But it didn't. It thought that the bill
would serve the peoples welfare.
The Democratic house forgot politics
and undertook the public service, The
president didn't, ..3@
