WAR AND THE MAN
 ON HORSEBACK

A revival of the title. Marshal of France" to be bestowed upon Gen. Joffre, is proposed, on the theory that the Allies will be successful in the war. Apropose, there comes the in- evitable question; Will the war re- suit in bringing to the front the "man on horseback?" Also, will French political life become subject to fresh military influence?
 The present republic in France has become so we'll established that there is little real fear that 1t will be re- placed by any other form of govern ment. That the military heroes of the war may become popular idols is to be expected. It is possible that they may take foremost positions in the civil life of the republic.
 It was because he had been com mander-in-chief of the American army during the revolutionary war that Washington became first President. It was the military record made dur Ing tue WAT Ol lOlGt MulSh ASouitSN' in the election of Andrew Jackson and later of William Henry Harrison to the Presidency. Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce each became Presi' dent on account of military services during the Mexican war. The civil war brought into later prominence in political life several men who after wards attained tte Presidency-Gen Grant, Maj-Gen. Hayes, Brevet Maj Gen. Harrison, Maj. General Garfield and Maj. Mckinley. The Cuban wal and the reputation which he made ir ] it were responsible for the election oi Col. Roosevelt as governor of New ] York from which position he was pro noted to the Yice-Presidency and thence to the Presidency.
 The United States more than any other modern country has looked to military leaders for civil leaders, and not exalted militarism.-Seattle Post Intelligencer.
