isn't a bit of the CRATER about
her, and she wouldn't know the

young, and gay Of heart, and she
loves the amusements that be-

finds it trihe duh to spend all

even her sweetheart.

More and more the daily news
paper which seeks to perform its
proper and legitimate function of
honestly telling the news and
honestly commenting upon and
explaining the news must stand
ready to blame or to praise those
who hold Office and those who
frame party policy. The
errors, the Inconsistencies, the
compromises, it is newspapers
duty to record, to comment upon,
to explain and occasionally to de-
nounce.
No other newspapers in the
country have remained more UNI
swervingly true to that duty than
have those controlled by William
Randolph Hearst, and the neces-
sarv consequence of that is his
latest utterance of personal dis
satisfaction with all three of the
existing political organizations of
national scope.
There is a broader aspect to
the episode. Some months ago
MIR. Hearst spoke of the growing
need of a party frankly and
aVowedly radical which might
better serve it's end if it should
be so denomnated. The drift Of
thought in New York State, and
especially in New York City, i'm

of the forties. the MeXicans did
not win a single battle. notwith-
standing the fact that they inva-
riably outnumbered the United
States forces and always had the
advantages of the position. No
charge of cowardice was ever
brought against the Mexican rank

on the other hand they stood up
to the music in fine shape, and,
so far as courage was concerned,
came out of the struggle with
honor. But they did not seem
to be able to stand up success
fully before the Americans. Not

The GREATEST NOVEL.

answered in hard and fast way.
The question, Which is the
greatest novel;" is answered in
different ways by different peo-
pie. Some would say that the
greatest novel is Don QuiXote,'
others Les Miserables. and
others "Tristran Shandy," and
others still Ten Thousand
Year" or "Ivanhoe," or Lorna
Doone," or any one of a hundred
that might be thought of, 1t is
a matter of individual taste or
temperament. The greatest novel

the greatest all around impression

The war once begun, was rap

American as a battle winner was
demonstrated all along the line,
The American army of inva-

strength of the MeXicans was
much greater, about three times
that of the invaders.
