who had served only sixteen months as
President. Had "Old Rough and Ready
lived he would probably have succeeded
himself in the White House. The Pierce
administration was Of small force. Per-
sonally. Mr.. Pierce was a charming man.
but as northern politician who had been
put into office by the slave power he was
bound to fail. and did fail
The same was true of Mr.. Buchanan
whose failure was inevitable. and proved
to be the NEST complete, and the most
appalling in consequence. in our history.
Under his administration the movement
for disunion took shape: and all the gen.
ius of Abraham Lincoln became necessary
to save the Union.
Mr.. Cleveland as President was an &C
cident. growing out of republican di
vision in New York. He had been ad-
vanced rapidly from the shrievalty of
Erie county. and reached the White
House with perhaps the most limited &C
qua iniance with public men and the
smallest equipment for national office
known in connection with the presidency
He had a remarkable career. but wrecked
his own fortunes as we'll as those of his
party. Between March 4, 1897. when he
retired from the presidency. and March
4, 1913. when Mr.. Wilson came in, the
democracy lived upon husks and east
wind -....
To have topped these men in power
over the democratic party is not a large
accomplishment. The comparison will
come with Jackson. If under Mr.. Will
sons guidance the democrats win next
month. and again in 1916 with him again
as their candidate. he will be entitled
to the name of Young Hickory" and
to take his place alongside "Old Hick-
DRY" among the real heroes of the
democracy.

young Hickory"

1t is said of Mr.. Wilson that he is
the strongest democratic President
since jackson. The praise is true. but
how far does it carry? These are the
names since Jackson: Van Buren,. Polk.
Pierce, Buchanan and Cleveland.
The Fox of Kinderhook' was an ex-
ceedingly clever politician, but not a
great political leader, and certainly did
not make great President He had
one term, which revealed principally
his "foxiness." and he gave place to
Gen. Harrison, a wing. After leaving
the White House he petered out as IA
politician almost as completely and
died as helpless as Mr.. Cleveland did
many years later.
Mr.. Polk was called Young Hickory
by his admirers. but the sobriquet was
anything but felicitous. He showed in
Office none of the qualities of old
Hickory" The Mexican war was
fought under his presidency. but
neither he nor his party got the benefit
of the victory. He had but one term,
and was succeeded by wing, Gen.
Taylor.
Mr.. Pierce was elected in 1852. largely

Indoor Base Ball.

From the New York Sun.
There is every indication that the
winter base ball season Of 1914-15 will
be fully as interesting as any Of its
predecessors. The task of explaining
how the Braves took the National
League pennant and then defeated the
Athletics in four straight offers un-
limited opportunities to statisticians
nd historians. The failure of the Fed
eral League to come to wreck should
be matter of constant. edifying con-
versation, and the rela.jo Of the

not possible save from a secure posi-

it is that the real work in this war,

The Senate and the PHILIPPINES,

The Senate, it is stated, will look
carefully into the Philippine bill passed
by the House. 1t should make the ex-
animation thorough. A measure in
tended as step in the direction of
early independence for the archipelago
should pass under the strongest glass
The Senate improved the House tariff
bill, the House currency bill, and the
House trust bills. Likewise did it i'm
prove the House war tax measure.
Having given such evidences of the
value of it's rules in the construction of
legislation, it should continue the good
work.
Unfortunately for all concerned, the
Philippine question. in it's broader as
pect, has become associated in the pub
lie mind in this country with Japan.
On the one hand, it is frequently as
serted that Japan covets the islands
and is impatiently awaiting an oppor-
tunity to seize them. She is even ac-
cused of including them in her calcula-
tions about settling the dispute with
US growing out of the claims her citi-
zens residing in California have as
serted, and which will be taken up
again after awhile.
On the other hand, it is asserted for
Japan that she has no such purpose
that not only do the islands not lure
her, but that she would not accept
them as. a gift. They are not included
in any scheme of hers, and could not
be made to forward her present-d day
purposes.
What We really have to consider is
not our right to be in the islands, for
that is not in issue, nor our ability to
hold them, for that is not under chal-
lenge, but our duty to the Filipinos, to
the outside world, and to ourselves,
now that we are there. What have we
mains to be done for a backward and
inexperienced people, without homo
geneity and therefore without national
spirit or equipment, before we can
properly or safely retire and hand af-
fairs over to the natives?
The Filipinos have at no time been
oppressed by this government. On the
contrary, they have been treated with
all consideration. AS a guardian,
Uncle Sam has been a model, and has
received compliments from European
visitors who have looked in on his
wards and what he was doing for them.
The wards themselves have shown ap-
probation. AT the close of his service
as governor general and when he was
on the eve of embarking for home,
Mr.. Taft was assured by large con-
course OF the people of their gratitude
and admiration. He had studied their
needs and been watchful of their in
terests; and he then held, and still
holds, that many years more will be
necessary under American rule to tit
them for the responsibilities of indie
pendent government.

The Navy and the National Defense.

The statement of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt respecting the present condi-
tfon of the navy is in line with Repre-
sentative Gardeners contention. On the
water We are not as strong as we
should be and have the means of be-
ing. We need more men for the ships
we have, and more ships for the
national security.
This information from an official
source is timely and very important.
No more important question is now be-
fore the country. All things martial
are appearing in a new light, and We
have great deal at risk.
We may, probably shall, hear some
thing on the subject of economy. Those
opposed to an adequate martial estab
lishment will say that this is no time
for mourning additional expenses; that
everything in the way of an appropria-
tion should be cut to the bone. The
necessity for war taxes when we are
not at war should warn u.s.
1t should, but not in the way sug-
gested. 1t should warn US of what
enormous appropriations would be re-
quired If war should come and find US
unprepared. What is required for prep
aration is but bagatelle by COMPARE
son. ship in time saves nine. Ships
in existence but unprovided for or in
adequately so are not to be taken into
live account
In other words. ships ION paper"
should be translated into ships on
water. A sea unit in need is sea unit
indeed.
The navy. of course, is not the whole
the army also should be strengthened
and literally supported. But the navy
Is the more prominently in the picture
now If foe develops he must ap-
proach us by water, and we should be
ready to meet him there. He must
land before we are called upon to show
our mettle and equipment ashore.
Much that was said when the rivers
and harbors bill was up in Congress
had good basis. 1t was urged with
reason that new projects for internal
improvements of that kind should not
be inaugurated at this time. Legitimate
economy. always in order, is most de-
cidedly in order now. We can with
safety postpone such matters until the
general situation improves They can
wait
