To the Editor OF The Times:
In these days IL appears that the
English are not fulfilling the expecta-
tons which their position In the
world warrants. II y also apparent
that TO outward seeming their whole
well-earned reputation for enterprise
and adaptability and courage IL likely
to be submerged. The English need
not be disturbed by that. II the posi-
ton which the English people occupy
In the modern world had been secured
by q weakened. spiritless people, IL
would be nothing less than miracu-
lous. and the good judgment Of the
world knows Il has not been so won.
Sorrowfully / admit that IL seems
possible that the physical stamina OF
our people is not so vigorous and
hardy as Il used to be. and think
this attributable to the human ten
dency to grow slack and comfortable
In times OF peace. and to our change
full climate. Also the arts OF peace.
which render us humane, are not con-
ducive to q warlike spirit or TO the
development Of those sinews (which
throws the world" Emphatically In
spirit and cheerful endurance our men
are not inferior to any In the world.
Our Scott spent two years In the Arc
tic I'm order to prove that English
men could still endure hardship" The
history of the British colonies Is one
OF splendid courage and enterprise. l
do not think we are more free from
the vice OF cupidity than any other
peoples. but In the face of what civ
ilization owes to that vice Il Is hard
to Judge II as only moral weakness.
With regard to the countries on
been charged with "spoilation." India
and Egypt. let the world compare the
state Of those nations today with that
which prevailed when we commenced
to govern them. and II Is sufficient.
The government OF 300000,00 OF peo-
pie. biased and fanatical In the high
est degree. and, judging from their
national character. without any rea-
sonable code OF morals. Is surely not
a task which could be performed by a
people lacking positive qualities.
Quite possibly It Is time for Ger
many to rise to predominance In
Europe She has been patient. and
she Is strong. Nothing but the spirit
of rivalry has produced the bitterness
between those mighty peoples. But
that which makes England's position
unique In history has been done. She
Is the mother OF nations. and the force
OF her national character is strongly
felt throughout the entire west. To
ward the enlightenment and civiliza-
ton OF the human race she has done
nobly. All have their day. Possibly
ours is on the wane. II Is the law.
From being one OF the smallest peo-
pies OF the globe we have become the

Is enough. Our unique position can

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Boies
Penrose for president on the RepuD-
lean ticket In 1916. This II the log
zeal conclusion TO be drawn from the
election returns The tarin as an Is
sue, and the exponent OF the highest
tariff as candidate Of the Republican
party. VIII the Republican managers
carry the campaign to It's logical con-
clusion? Just now many OF them
think they will.
Penrose stands for high tariff; the
repeal OF the Simmons-U Underwood
tarifr and q return to the policies or
Hanna and McKinley--the political
gospel OF the "full-dinnerpail." He 10

OF those things embraced under the
head Of social and Industrial justice.
He Is frankly for business, first, last
and all the time. and by business he
means the business OF. Standard Oil.
the Steel Trust, the Coal Trust and
other big corporations.
The election returns are an undeni-
able endorsement OF Penrose. lie re-
ceived the largest vote OF any Re
publican In the running. Those who
succeeded with him are men OF the
same political school-Uncle Joe Can
non, William B. Mckinley, Jacob II.
Gallinger, William p. Dillingham;, Cy-
rus Sulloway, Ebenezer Hill, Nick
Longworth. Warren G. Harding, and
long list Of others as Enthusiastically
standpat In their political records.
The voters did not In any way sup
port the Progressive party. They
did not support progressive Demo
Gratis where they had the chance.
They repudiated the progressiveism of
President Wilson. as well as the pro-
gressiveism OF Victor Murdock. They
voted against Roosevelt and the Bull
Moose proposition, and they voted
against President Wilson and tariff
revision, trust regulation and cur
rency and banking reform.
What the people want-K the cleo.
ton returns can be trusted-is evil
IDENTIFY no kind of reform, but the
good old days OF government In the
interest of big business, high protec-
ton, standpatism, and prosperity"
They want Mark Hanna at the helm
and Penrose In the White House.
This is the lesson which the Re-
publican managers claim to draw
from the election returns, and there
is no questioning the logic OF their
claim. There is no reason why the
party should not 60 to the country

candidate. There Is nothing to en-

70 the Editor of The Times:
We can plainly see by the results
Of the election on Nov. 3 that IL the
good citizens wish to get rid OF the
deplorable conditions into which our
CITY has fallen, there will have to be
a more united action on the part OF
these citizens. Would 1t not be ad-
visable to be ready for the next cleo
ton?
/ know there are some who say 1t
Is nothing to them how their city 10
run, but Is II nothing to them? That
is what Cain said Genesis 4:9-1D:
and the Lord said unto Cain, where
Ia Abel, thy brother? And he, said, l
know not; am my brothers keeper
And He said, what hast thou doney
The voice Of thy brothers blood
crieth unto me from the ground"
Those are the words we VIII hear
II we stand by and do nothing. while
thousands OF our brothers and sisters
are ruined annually.
There are some who say We are
taking away their liberty by fghting
the saloon and low dance hall. We
are. We are taking away their lib
erty to ruin our boys and girls.
Some do not believe in the good cit
izens getting up a slate. They say
that is the way the liquor interests
do. That is just the reason we VIII
have to do the same. There Is an
old saying, at takes thief to catch
a thief" We will have to let all per
sonal feelings slide and work for the
common good. sincerely hope you
good citizens will think this over.

GONE BACK HON
BY Jane Whitaker.
Ever the bright lights beckOn and
ever the moths rush at the flame and
the white dust of a thousand other
moths whose singed wings are folded
close to IifeIess bodies serves never as
a warning.
This is the story Of a girl who was
scorched by the flame. 1t doesn't
matter what is her name sufficient
that somewhere back in a small town
in Kansas she is trying to pick up
again the threads of a sane existence
and living in fear that some day the
old folks may find out how badly she
was scOrched or some day when
new, clean life opens it may be closed
by the thing that is past.
The girl came to Chicago because
the call of the big city was in her
blood. She was going to work here
yes, but the thing she thought of
most was that she was going to play.
She secured work and she secured
a girl chum and the two took all of
the clean pleasures they could snatch
in their hours of leisure. And one Of
the pleasures the little girl from Kan
sis snatched was the friendship Of
man who was high in power, but who
stopped to amUse himself with the
foolish moth.
The game was played in the usual
way. There were dinners of expen-
sive viands and tempting. There
were theater parties. There were in
toxicating rides in taxicabs-the
game so seldom varies.
And in this case as in almost every
other, the little moth believed the
man in the big position really meant
o'marry her. Hadn't he told her he
loved her and he couldn't live without
her? Hadn't he sworn that he was
miserable away from her, that he

attractive as the moth that is still to
be lured, and so the man high in
power, weary of STOPPING to play the
game, told the girl from Kansas that
he was through.
For days she endeaVOred to see him
again. She telephOned and he re-
fused to answer. She wrote and he
never read her letters, and at last two
things daWned upon her-that the
man who loved her so devOtedly be-
fore she flew too close to the fame
would never see her again, and that
she was in a condition that would
soon reveal her story to the world.
She was Crazed by the latter dis
cOveTy. Then someone told her of a
doctor who would perform an illegal
operation. She went to the doctor.
She gave him all the money she had
and the operation was performed,
but that was all. There wasn't any
subsequent treatment and she lay on
a bed in a cheap hotel in terrible
agony the while her chum tried to get
help or money.
When a social worker discovered
the two girls they were about to be
elected from the hotel and they had
three pennies between them. Also the
girl from Kansas was in a dangerous
condition.
The social worker had her taken to
the County Hospital. And the girl
said afterward that while she was on
the operating table the young ply
stefan amused himself by telling her
that if she had behaved herself she
wouldn't be there and there wasn't
much use fixing her up because her
kind couldn't keep out of trouble.
Well, that was just part of the price
she had to pay, but it showed her
very clearly that no matter how a
moth justifes flying close to the flame
the world sees never an excuse.
