such tirelessness. nobody has seen

If Mr.. Bryan seems the freaher Of the
two today It II because Of the fact that
his activities have not taken the Roose-
welt range. He has made Journey
around the world. but leisursly, and
with only the ordinary excitement OF
travel. He has nothing to his credit
resembling the African hunt or the
South American exploration. And in
the war with Spain Mr.. Bryan had the
misfortune not to get any farther than
Florida, while Mr.. Roosevelt was lucky
enough to get into action, and to
rough it in Cuba.
Still, the time has come when both
these men should begin to take in sail.
Both have passed the nfty mark.
Neither could now repeat with satis-
faction to himself or his followers the
stirring performances Of the past. Mr..
Bryan would bend a little under such q
campaign as that Of 1896. while Mr..
Roosevelt could not command tho snap

Mr.. Bryan may not make another

but Mr.. Roosevelt has apparently an
other presidential campaign on his
card, and something will depend on
how fit physically he may be two years
hence for another long and strong
swing around the circle.

The Water Tower.

Ordinarily there is no reason for crit
icisn of the manner in which fires are
fought in Washington by the District
fire department. The force is we'll
equipped. we'll trained and brave in a
most admirable degree. Occasionally.
however. it appears that the best judS-
ment is not exercised in the manage
Dlent OF a blaze, aud this seems to be
the ease with tie fire on Pennsylvania
ayeuue. Owing to the shape of the
building it was necessary at the outset

and with Il strong draft carrying the

which gave only a sharply upward
slant to the streams. In these circum-
stances the fire was ideal for the en-
ploymert of the water tower, and yet
that apparatus was permitted to rest
in idleness almost Immediately in front
of the burning building for a period
variously estimated from twenty min
utes to half an hour before it was
brought into play. AS soon as it was
put in service. pouring a great volume
of water into the burning materials on
the top floor, the effect was apparent
and the fire was quickly brought under
control 1t seemed likely at the time
that if the tower had been used at once
when it became apparent that hose
lines could not be sent into the build
ing and that, ladder work was futile
owing TO the necessity of sharply slant
ing the streams, the fire would have
been checked in perhaps half the time
actually required for its conquest.

Economy and 1916.

The Presidents call for low estimates
for the appropriations for the next fis-
ca! wear is at once good business and
good politics. 1t is good business be-
cause, while there should be no skimp-
ing there should be economy. 1t is
good politics, because at the next ses-
sion of Congress the democrats will
practically begin their next presiden-
tial campaign. The next fiscal year will
end June 80, 1916-about the time the
parties are making their presidential
nominations and adopting their ma
tiona1 platforms.
Likewise will the call answer as a
card in the present campaign Wher-
ever democratic candidates for Con-
rress are attacked on the size of the
appropriations made at this session,
the Presidents announcement will be
read, and, if nothing else is said. as
much capital as possible made out OF
the promise that such enormous hs-
ures shall not be piled up again.
1t would be idle at this time to un-
aer4ake to point out where big reduc-
tions might be made .or the next fiscal
wear or the fiscal year following. The
die,oca tions caused by the war are nu-
nlerous and far-reaching. They may be-
come before the war ends even more
numerous, and encompass everything.
In america here we are looking on
helpIessly and wOnderingly.
The only thing certain is that at the
end of the struggle We shall have to
adjust our affairs with foreign con-
net.tions to the new conditions. We
hope to head the new procession that
Will be formed for improving and pre-
serving the restored peace. We must
at least keep up with it. and do our
part toward building up the places
made waste by the war.
Take the question of the navy. There
will be a movement to reduce expenses
there, or halt them altogether. The
argument will be that preparedness
for war does not prevent war. Why
add to our naval establishment and lay
out huge sums of money on the water
after what We have just seen in Eu-
rope?
The reply will be, as always in the
matter of preparedness. that the mill
lennium is not here, and that without
a navy adequate to the patrol of our
long coast lines We should be in an
alarming condition of helplessness as
against any power tempted to strike us.
There are other questions bearing
upon our growth and responsibilities
which must be met in our future ap-
propriations, and which will warn US
against parsimony. We must go for
Ivard-not necessarily at a gallop. but
certainly not at snaifs pace. There
should be no waste of public moneys.
but denial of necessaries is often the
worst form of waste.

Chairman McCombs.

Had Chairman McCombs accepted the
French mission the duties growing out
of the war that have devoived on Am
bassador Herrick would have deyolyed
upon him. Doubtless, too, he would
have acquitted himself as successfully
as Mr.. Herrick is doing. Which Is say
ing a great deal. All testimony goes
to show that Mr.. Herrick has risen in
full stature to a very difficult situa-
ton His large experience in business
and as an organizer in everyday af-
fairs has been better suited to his lat
est work in Paris than his experience
in politics and diplomacy.
But by staying at home Mr.. McCombs
has not lost anything In the way of ex-
citement. His hands are full. He has
need of all his talents. There is war in

A Public Buildiue Need.

While perhaps this is not the time
| to contemplate large expenditures for
public buildings, while economy Is the
cry in Congress and war taxes are
| necessary to supply the Treasury with
funds, 1t is nevertheless in order to
point to the fact that the government
is not adequately providing itself with
building facilities for the transaction
of its business. No move whatever
has been made toward the erection
on land already acquired east Of the
White Lot of the buildings to house
the departments of State, Justice and
Commerce. Meanwhile, all those de-
partments are wholly or in part in
rented quarters-even the State De-
partment occupying leased space out
side of the government-owned build
ing-involving much Inconvenience.
loss of time and ultimate waste of
money.
Just at present the most striking
illustration of the result of procrasti-
nation in providing a proper building
equipment for the departmental serv-
ice is afforded by the situation in the
Treasury, where congestion has been
the rule for many years. with a large
overflow into private quarters. and
lately with a serious disarrangement
caused by the creation Of two new
organizations-the federal reserve
board and the war risk bureau. As a
result of the necessity of taking care
of the former it Is reported to be
planned to send a part of the archi-
tect's ONCE into a hitherto disused
attic space.
1t would be good business for Con-
gress to resolve now to solve this
building problem definitely in the near
future. name a commission to provide
general plan for public structures
in Washington to replace all rented
quarters and afford means for future
growth and to coordinate all the build
ings upon basic plan Of emplacement.
1t should be possible to bring forward
such a scheme at the next session.
certainly at the opening Of the new
Congress in 1915. BY that time doubt
less the war will have been ended and
the government finances will have
been restored to normal. There would
be no danger of extravaganza due to
political considerations IN any COM
prehensive capital building plan. and
the government could very probably
spend several million dollars here
to give itself for the drst time
in it's history complete. suitable
equipment.

The Spy System.
From the Indianapolis News.

IrOm tue inuiuudpVuS NeWe.
To what extent our own government
has participated in the spy system
that covers the whole Of Europe we
do not know. II certain sensational
writer's of fiction may be believed. it
has not been a stranger to it. At the
present time we are all hoping that
it may be possible for this country to
do something that will contribute, not
only to the restoration Of peace, but
to the creation Of better conditions
throughout the world. 1t is perfectly
clear that diplomatic plottings are
thronged with foreign spies IL not
likely to be very kindly disposed to
| the government served by those spies.
We should think that our own govern
ment might well abandon all secret
methodist 1t has used any. But it
ought to go further than that. When
ever it catches a foreign spy it might
very well denounce him publicly. and
! send him out OF the country, giving
the reason for it's action. II one OF
our own men is bribed by an attache
/ to give up plans of battleships and
| fortifcations. the transaction should
be published to the world. One of
| the chief buttresses Of the spy system
Is found In the knowledge that, no
matter what happens. there will be
no exposure. That is point on which
all governments seem to be agreed.

Gas in Tunnels,
from the Philadelphia Press.

The disaster in the Phoenixville tun-
mel is a most unusual and surprising
catastrophe. The engineman and con-
ductor, who lost their lives after the
killing of the woman crossing the
tracks led the engineman to stop the
deadly fumes of gas. That fact is, in
deed. admitted. Was the tunnel prop
erly ventilated? Are passengers al
ways in peril of their lives when they
are swept through a railway tunnel?
Is their safety dependent solely upon
the swiftness with which the train
gets through the tunnel. and are they
doomed to death if their train is for
any reason held up before it gets
through?

it with your ballot. The ballot is a
sacred privilege, in fact, the highest
privilege of an American citizen. It
is taken for granted that men believe
in the principle they vote for. If they
do not, they are unworthy of the ball
lot and truly enemies and traitors
of our country. Is that so? ~nYesp
you say. And bring down your fist
for emphasis. Very well. Now home
rule means that the majority of the
people in a town or city have the right
to say whether they will have the, sal
o or not, and the following towns
and cities of Fulton county voted dry
at the recent election, Williamson,
Delta, Fayette, Lyons; hence no man
who is a man, and a worthy American
citizen will start a saloon in any of
the above named towns or cities OF de-
fend the man who does. We purpose
to assist the people of the above NAM

wish as expressed by their ballots. If

a saloon in either place and gets hurt
in his venture let him blame himself
