Mr. Morehead, has been Tsnominated. Notwith-
standing the fact that he had stated that he would
not be candidate for denomination, he was forced
into the fight as an anti-Bryan man, and his re-
nomination is victory for the Hitchcock forces.
Brge, the Bryan candidate, ran third. Howell, the
Republican sominee for governor, will make strong
fight, being encouraged by the fact that the Re-
publicans polled Unexpectedly large vote, and
that the Bull Moose vote was very small, All Of
the present Congressman were renoD1inated.
Senator Smiths denomination in Georgia was not
only personal tribute to him. but an Endorsement
of the Democratic administration, because the Pres-
dent and his policies bitterly attacked by Mr.,
Smiths opponents. Reports from Maine indicate
that Mr.. Roosevelts visit did not excite the old
time enthusiasm, but the Democrats hoping that
his activities will help their candidates. This week
the Michigan primaries will be held. Gov. Ferris,
the present Democratic executive, will be renomi-
mated without opposition, and as he has made a
capable and efficient governor, it will be difficult
matter to defeat him. There are half dozen can
didates for the Republican nomination, the most
prominent being former Gov. Osborn. There is
some Progressive activity in the State and upon its
extent will depend the outcome Of the election

HISTORIC BELGIAN TRIANGLE.

Describing the road from Brussels to
Liege. which skirts the pains of Hesbaye,
BRedeker quotes the old prOverb. "Qui
passe dams lie Hesbains est combattu
lendemain''-'He who enters the Hesbaye
is defeated the next day" Such was the
reputation Of the Hesbains for strength
and bravery. which the Belgians today
are maintaining.
The ancient province of Hesbaye il in
dictated on the maps as a triangle, some
fifty miles from its base to its apex
Liege. The River Mouse. from Namur to
Liege. forms IL southern side; the rail-
ways from Liege through Tirlemont and
LOuvain to Brussels its northern side. A
line from Namur north to Brussels is its
base.
This triangle contains many famous
battIefelds. Besides Waterloo, there is
Neerwinden, where Marshal Luxembourg
defeated the allies under William III Of
England in 1888, and where a century
later the Austrians. under the Prince Of
Cobourg, uncle Of the late King Leopold
Of Belgian, defeated the French. led by
Dumouriez and Louis Philippe.
Then. there is Quatre Bras, where
Ney's division fought part Of the British
army and its German and Belgian allies
in 1875. There had been a battle the day
before at Sombreffe, and on that June
night the Prussians accomplished their
unparalleled retreat from Ligny. Fleurus,
near by. won fame in 1872 and 1890 and
again in fT94-Newark Evening News.

Political Situation.

A speech delivered by Representative Victor Muir
dock, of Kansas, appearing last week in the Con-
gressional Record, is interesting from points Of
view Being the leader of the small Progressive con-
tingent in the House, Mr.. Murdoch has taken ocea-
sion to issue campaign document for the use of
his party. 1t is an ingenious presentation and will
doubtless receive wide circulation 1t claims, and
with considerable show of truth that the Progress
ives. have proposed much constructive legislation,
while the Democrats and Republicans have either
allowed great issues to pass unnoticed or have fol-
lowed old methods with injury to the country.
But the chief interest attaching to this address
lies in the fact that Mr.. Murdoch conyicts the Demo-
cratic party of the guilt of secrecy. He points out
that resolutions providing for the publication of all
statements of campaign contributions on file with
the Clerk of the House because such statements WILL
under the law be destroyed after certain period.
have not been acted upon and that the statements
have not been published. He shows also that the
attempt to open the Democratic caucuses to the
public was beaten. "Out of public view," he says
without record of debate and secretly, great meas
ures like the tariff measure and the currency law
have been adopted" The history of the Underwood
bill he says shows that began in secrecy and ended
in secrecy He Claims also that the Democrats have
prevented record roll calls and calls attention to the
fact that a resolution, introduced by a Democrat
providing that the recommendations upon which
United States judges are appointed shall be made
public has been pigeon-holed by the Democratic ma
jority.

Secrecy and Mystery, Nevertheless.


To read these splendid idealistc utterances and
then to examine the record of the present Congress
offers an opportunity to present remarkable chapter
of promise not followed by performance.
For instance when Senator Jones' of Washing
ton presented resolution requesting the President
to advise the Senate what nations have protested
against the passage of American coastwise vessels
through the Panama Canal free of tolls, the ad-
minstration advised against its adoption and the
friendly majority in the Senate laid it the table
At another time Senator Poindexter introduced
resolution requesting the President to inform the
Senate as to the matters of nearer consequence and
greater delicacy' referred to in his Panama tolls
message but again the administration ordered
secrecy and the resolution was laid the table.
Mr. Poindexter also wanted to know what the ad-
ministraton had done to protect American citizens
in Mexico-which would seem to have been legiti-
mate inquiry-but answer was ever given.
Not only every effort thwarted which sought
to learn something of the for the Presidents
change of front on the question of the Panama tolls
but the mystery and secrecy OF the Mexican policy
never removed. This was not because of any lack
of endeavor TO penetrate the veil Senator Lppitt
sought in vain to learn through the medium of a
resolution of inquiry whether the administration
had any understanding with Villa. Representative
Kahn, after the publication of the correspondence
between the rebel leaders in Mexico and their agents
in this city, in which Mr.. Lind figured less
VIGOROUSLY, endeavored to have the public informed
to the instructions under which Mr.. Lind went to
Mexico, what he had said or done for the aid of
Carranza while in Mexico, and what amount of the
peoples money had been paid to him. These were,
apparently, matters which came within the scope of
letting in the light but the administration decided
that the people were not entitled to the informa-
ton, and the resolution was not adopted.
Then, too, there considerable and proper
curiosity to why the President pardoned Senator
F1etcher's son-n-law, but resolution asking that
the light of publicity be thrown upon this transaction
was smothered. Perhaps the members of Congress
have not read President Wilson's article 1t con-
tanned, among other sentences already quoted this
remark:
IF there is nothing to conceal why conceal it,"

The Stock Exchanges.

Far from the least valuable lesson which that
dear teacher, Experience is affording the people
of the United States playing the part of innocent
and vulnerable bystander at the terrific strife now
sundering the world, is the instruction, by plain ex-
ample and object, in the value of markets and ex-
changes.
Except the men who actually deal in money and
credits, there is hardly citizen, certainly not
politician in the country who has not found it pleas
urable expedient at time within the past
four or FIVE years, to condemn the New York Stock
Exchange, and in the less degree, appropriate to
the measure of their tradngs all the other exchanges
of the United States. Forgeful neglectful OF the
fact that the New York Stock Exchange affords a
great and under ordinary conditions fairly stable
market for securities, the more Jealous critics of
that institution have without conformation condemned
it utterly and by a sort of blanket indictment they
have arragned all the other places where stocks and
bonds, cotton and grains, and other commodities
are dealt in through the processes which finance has
developed as it emerged from simple barter to the
intricate and nearly exact science that is today.
Yet at this moment when with two or three ex-
ceptions whose effect upon the nations business is
uncomfortable, every maligned exchange in the
country in the world indeed is closed because of
the disastrous turbulence centering in Europe mil
lions upon millions of dollars are held as it were
in suspension useless to their present and prospective
owners. Stocks and bonds, notes, negotiable in
struments of all kinds; the products of the fields
and forests and mines and factories the creations of
labor and the fruits Of capital are, in dangerous
proportions. very nearly vain mockery to those
whom they already should have rewarded for their
industry, thrift and ingenuity.
Upon the New York Stock Exchange and upon
every other exchange there has been much evil done
and it is probable that much evil will continue to be
done. But the American people. who in their judg-
ment of modern business have been too unrestrained
in their announcement of entreties because they in
Guided evil components should permit this violent
estoppal of exchange activities to have at least the
benefit Of causing them to reflect whether because
OF sporadic incidental ills they can Justify them
selves in utterly destroying the machinery which not
the sinister and the unprinciped have created for
their selfish purposes but the evolution of commerce
has gradually builded toward perfection That per-
lection has not yet been attained is not pertinent
What the American people in this stress should
ponder is that perfection is attainable and that while
it is being sought, the exchanges of this country
have aim and use which are indispensable in
the conduct of the tremendous trade the world
has known.

THINKING OF PEACE.
Discussion Is EARLY or Late for the
Hest ResuIts!


There Is something Of reinsurance, as
well as much OF significance. in the fact
that the Official statements, explanations,
and proclamstions issued by the high
est authorities Of the several countries
now at war 80 frequently contain refer
ences to the Others that are strangely
kind, considering the source and applica-
ton.
Thus the German imperial chancellor,
IN pleading Germany's cause in the
court Of world opinion, spoke Of highly
civilized France" es compelled" to take
up arms. He mentioned EngIand's course
as heard with q heavy heart" not with
anger. and what he had to say about
the culture of both was entirely re-
spectfuI, as closely related to Germany's
own. Only as regards Russia did he use
the words commonly applied to the en-
emy"-the bitter words, and especially
the contemptuous words, that can never
be explained away and make future
friendships difficult or impossible.
The Instance Is typical, for there have
been like outgivings in both England and
France, showing plainly that at least
among the nations Of Western Europe
there remains, IN spite Of the present
hostilities and slaughters, a sense OF
solidarity. an underlying realization that
their natural relations are those Of
friendship, not Of hatred. and that even
now there must be a thought OF in
Vulnerable better tomorrows. They all
know that the end Of the war will not
be the determination, or even the sub
jugation, in the old sense of that term.
OF any ueighbor by the others, and there
Is an evident wish or determination not
70 exasperate emotions or aggravate Of
lenses so much as to make an ultimate
restoration Of peaceful intercourse nm
duly hard.
In less responsible circles this modera-
ton and foresightedness are not ALWAYS
shown. but their absence there Is less
ominous than it would be in those higher
New York Times.

President Wilson and Publicity.

These observations by Mr.. Murdoch recall a
remarkable article which appeared in Worlds Work
for May, 1913, written by Woodrow Wilson, and en-
titled Let There Be Light" Mr. Murdoch evil
IDENTIFY did not know of this speech because if he
had incorporated its salient points in his campaign
contribution it would have given him opportunity
to point contrast with telling effect.
In this article Mr.. Wilson, then President Of the
United States declared that "a first necessity is to
open the doors and let in the light all affairs
which the people have the right to know about.
Then he said:
|. for one have the conviction that government
ought to be all outside and inside. |. for my
part believe that there ought to be place where
anything can be done that everybody does not know
about
After asserting that the light must be let in on
all processes of law-making" after condemning the
fact that questions put upon the floor of the House
and Senate are not frankly and truly answered and
after praisng the men who in Congress seek the
light of publicity upon all matters-after saying all
these things Mr. Wilson makes this direct assertion
There is not any legitimate privacy about matters
of government Government must, If It IS to be
pure and in its processes be absolutely public
in everything that affects it. / cannot imagine
would keep from the people about their own affairs
And then he added this interesting sentence:
Nothing is legitimate that cannot be understood
If YOU cannot explain properly then there is some
thing about it that cannot be explained at all.
