The Common Counsel Club.

The story about the Common toun-
sci Club makes good reading. but il
might be well to pass it slowly and
carefully under strong glass. In the
! present disturbed state of politics,
things are not always what they seem.
Mr.. Wilson's fortunes do not need
promoting by the agency or the means
described. They are i'm the hands of
| fate, and will not he decided by a coterie
of his friends now holding office under
him.
/ The case has several times been
stated Mr.. Wilson has entered on his
course, and wi be judged by the re-
suits If he steers we'll, and the old
ship of state is in trim and going
smoothly in 1916 he will be renominat-
ed and probably reelected. That is
everyday prophecy.
| Why not? We all want prosperity,
and. fortunately. all know what it is.
From 1897 until quite recently we
rolled in it. Business was excellent,
| crops good. wages steady and high.
Everything doomed.
| Three years ago the republican party
divided, and a democratic House was
| the result. Last year it divided again,
and a democratic President and Con-
gresS democ ratio. in both branches were
the result.
That President and that Congress
are now in action redeeming in legis-
iation promises made. If their work
is good, no Common Counsel Club
will be necessary to secure indorSe-
ment at the polls; If bad, If disastrous
no Common Counsel Club" will be able
to save the day.
Mr.. Wilson has not spoken on the
one-term proposition, and may not
speak. Even IL he should speak. and
refuse the use of his name for 1916
he could be, and probably would be.
| overruled in case of his pronounced
success in Office. Drafting him in such
circumstances would not be difficult
Men who had held office under Mr.
him in 1897. They banded together
90 promote his candidacy for renomi-
nation, and then his candidacy for re-
election. Suspicious men-aIas that
there should be so many in the world
thought this meant the hope of re-
appointment in case Mr.. Cleveland
came back.
| Back he came, but in distributing
patronage the second time he bestowed
his fayors on new men. The Common
Counsel Club composed of his old
| friends, got nothing. Unless exceptions
may be made of Mr.. Bayard, who re-
tceived the British mission, and Mr..
Whitney. who was permitted to have
influence in New York matters, as he
had under the first administration.
| Promoting the fortunes of the demo
Icratic party is good employment for
democrats. but promoting the fortunes
of Mr.. Wilson as the leader of the
democratic party should be left largely
Ito Mr.. Wilson himself. He is not at all
likely to loaf on the job.

The proceedings of Gen. Villa the mill
tary commander of the constitutionalist
forces in Mexico. are calculated to cause
great uneasiness to this government. for
through such ruthless methods of pun
ishment and confscatioa complicat tons
arc certain to arise involving foreign in
ferests. IL has been stated that a protest
has been made by the United States
directly to CarrauZa. the result of which
has not been. disclosed Ii may be that
Carranza regards the actions of his mill
tary chieftain with disfavor. but is I'M
able to check him in his course. Some
time ago evidences appeared that the re-
latious between the two are net har-
monious and IL now would seem that
Villa has taken matters Largely into his
own hands and is regarding himself as
the real head of the constitutionalist
movement. Enough has been done BY
him already TO Indicate his character as
ruthless and rapaeious. and if he should
seize the reins of authority and ignore
the civil head of the insurgent movement
he Ia likely to cause even greater con-
fusion in Mexican affairs than would re-
suit from the. overthrow OF Huerta by
the constitutionalist faction as heretofore
organized. Judging from what he has
been doing lately, an exchange of Villa
for Huerta would be in no wise advan-
tageous TO Mexico. while it would leave
the United states as Tar from a solution
of its problem. ever. Ii is 10 be hoped
that Villas conduct will not cause the
governments Of Europe to show impa-
thence and TO apply pressure upon the
United States TO hasten the settlement
of the Mexican turmoil.

Detroit's Proposed Charter.
From the Detroit Free Press.


IL the members of the late charter com
mission want to confer truly opportune
gift upon their city and to add immeas
urably to the merriment of this joyous
Christmas season, we invite them to d.
yulge to the public the name of the man
who wrote the Introductory address to the
new charter, now published. The thing
is d sheer delight Such a collection of
grandiloquence and ungrammatical bonn
bast has not met the human eye In many
d moon. The Ulster covenant has nothing
on il for solemn realization of the oc-
casions Importance; Baron Munchausens
facts were not less matter of Indifference
to their inventor; the disregard displayed
for agreement of number and person
among its nouns. pronouns and verbs
must be disturbing the eternal rest of
that friend of childhood. L.indley Muir
ray The charter, as the address informs
the people, lis not such bill of rights
and liberties as we're wrung from kings
or legislators, but such are hereby,
for the first time, framed for enactment

IL we take you back this time you We
got to behave. No more of these disap-
pearances! They are no longer permits
sible In the best circles-or at least not
in our set We have not quite forgiven
Mr.. Park Commissioner Slower. and we
shall not forgive you Immediately. That
is, we may forgive, but we cannot forget.
The escapade has been inexorably chalk
ed up against you. 1t Is part OF your
record. We take you back, Ii is true,
but we gaze at you from arms length
through our tears, half afraid OF the pos
sible injuries we may discover. We hold
your hands-what dear hands you had,
Mona Lisa-yet fearing to .ook at them
lest it shall prove that some of the in
comparable texture has been brushed
away. How price1ess was the position you
so lightly threw aside. There was no
possible shadow of blot upon your
'scutcheon. You were not, like so many
of our best Rembrandts, found upon a
doorstep overnight You were a serene
highness Ii there ever was one. You
were. But henceforth and forever there

The Carabao.

The carabao is a friend
OF disposition gentle
Whose demonstrations oft extend
To matters sentimental.
But irksome grows its plodding way
Along the paths of duty.
1t longs to be a songster gay
Or else thing of beauty.
. Sometimes it ventured forth to try
The antelope's light PAGES
Or send melodious notes on high
To match the bulburs graces.
Resentment SO severe was stirred
AS to involve some danger
That several members Of the herd
Would be denied the manager.
oh, Carabao, don't you know
That some must mutely follow
Afar from song and light and show
And gayety SO hollow?
That now and then the lash may fall
And harsh words sound about you!
And yet when for Results we call,
We can't get on without you.

Rise of German Democracy
From the Chicago Journal.


Recent events in Germany show that
neither warlordism nor emigration nor
any other force can permanently stifie
the democratic aspirations of an intelli-
gent people. The Prussian monarchy,
which has set its stamp on all Germany,
is the wisest, shrewdest, most efficient and
most moderate government ever based on
the theory Of the divine right of kings
Its princes have shown a high average
of energy and intelligence. 1t has been
favored by fortune to a remarkable de-
gree. 1t has performed immense serv-
ices to the German people. 1t led the
struggle against Napoleon and organized
the empire in 1871. 1t has been spared.
until lately, the annoyance of an opposi-
ton: for the German liberals, after being
beaten in 1S4S. left the country by mil
lions, and came to the United States
Yet. In spite OF eversth a r., democracy
II the divine right of kings is fading
away.

international Game Of Soccer
Seems To Be Gaining
Very Wide Favor.
OLD GAME LOSING GROUND
Efforts Being Made to Provide
Men with Some Strpnger
Incentive to Develop
Their Skill.

Although most crack swimmers are TAX
ing a well earned rest after an active
outdoor season water polo players are
beginning preparatory work. and reports
from various sections OF the country indi-
cate that the international game OF soccer
is slowly but surely gaining a firm foot
hold.
ST Louis. Chicago and Boston are still
hoping that the American type OF water
polo. abolished two years ago by the
Amateur Athletic Union. will soon be re-
instated under more stringent rules, SINH
lar TO those Of the intercollegiate Swim
ming Association. Even in these strong
holds of the old game however. soccer is
making many recruits. and the new crop
OF swimmers is almost unanimously In
favor OF II.
There is need however OF more encour-
agement 10 the devotees OF the recently
adopted sport. No incentive has been Of
fered them, and matches have been few
and far between. which is not conducive
to progress, for only when important com

Extensive alterations have been made IN

the Azara. She was designed by Cary,
Smith G. Barley. and built in 1904 by

owner was the late Chester w. Chaplin.

Water Polo Players in
Early Season Practice

duce the authorities 10 sanction champion
ship tournaments. at least In the dis
,ricts. but those in charge decided against
il on the plea that the players had not
attained sufficient skill TO warrant the
award OF titles.
The attitude cannot be criticised; proba-
bly, poor exhibitions might give the public
a wrong impression OF the value OF the
game. At the same time II Is question
in the minds OF many whether this feat
ure should not be overlooked. Given an
object in view, something 10 strive at
every team would get down to hard work
and do its level best 10 attain the pro-
ficiency needed to capture honors. There
is nothing like rivalry to spur on TO great
or endeavor and championship aspira-
lions arouse rivalry as nothing else VIII.
The situation here in New York Is the
best proof of the want Of incentive. -Four
teams, those OF the New York Athletic
Club. city Athletic Club West Side
Young Mems Christian Association and
Gleamore Athletic club, have been In
existence for long time. yet they have
played only very few games and accom-
plshed little or nothing In the way or
improvement.
Is il not reasonable 10 believe that II the
metropolitan championship were an
nounced without delay for, say. mex:
March, all hands would knuckle down 10
business and build up in the five inter-
vening months four rafting good teams?
The intercollegiate league, meanwhile.
has decided TO retain its own style OF
play, which resembles closely American
water polo. but 1t is likely that several
OF the university squads will take up
soccer as a pastme. Coaches and cap
tains appreciate the benefits 10 be derived
from game that. while affording recre-
alton. serves 10 develop speed and stam-
ina in swimming. Yale. Pennsylvania,
City College and Columbia have already
tried soccer with gratifying results.
