FORAKER BEATEN.

Joseph Benson Foraker has been for United States senator by Warren G. Harding, a man not his equal in abil- ity and there are some who appear to think that if Pennsylvania people are Senator Penrose will not be reelected next November. Foraker, who at one time, was an idol of republicans, has been making a thorough campaign, has been making an effort to come back as it were and has failed to do so. He is an eloquent speaker and has a1- ways been regarded as a power on the stump. His usefulness, however, has evidently passed. When he was in the senate it was discovered that he was connected with certain corporate doing. The thing has stuck to him ever since and try as he has he could not shake it off. In the old days he was much sought after to deliver the IlToWOTkS dL T0puDllCdH HdllOHdl con- ventions and he never failed to make good, arousing the delegates to a high pitch of enthusiasm. When it was discovered that he was not playing fair his star began to set and now it seems to have gone down for good.
 Senator Penrose may be said to be pursuing quiet campaign. He diff fers from Foraker in many ways. He does not believe in conversion by speechmaking but rather by personal solicitation and those who know him and the conditions in Pennsylvania say that as he carried the state in the primaries so he will carry it in the election. He has progressive candi- date against him who seems to be pretty, confident and the democrats who are rejoicing over the split are in hopes of being able to land their own candidate.

Chance for Home Talent. CDetrOit Free PreSS.)

A relatively unimportant but nev- ertheless interesting side issue of the European war is the probable effect of the conflict on American musical endeavor and particularly on Ameri- can production of opera. It goes with out saying that all music except that of the military bands and of a patriot ic populace will be practically for gotten on the continent as long as the present conflict continues. What is far more important to the United States, most of the male musicians will probably be too much engaged at, home as soldiers otherwise to think about their great Obsession, the American dollar, and there will be few migrations westward. On The other hand, a great many now in the, United States will probably seek passage across the Atlantic at the earliest possible moment In addi- tion to this, many of the opera stars permanently engaged for service in the United States are now in Europe and may not be able to get back here. Some will be impressed into the ser vice of their countries, others will serve voluntarily. It is likely that good portion of the women singers will be marooned and unable to fill their contracts. This situation will, of course, affect both the opera and concert stages
 The result will be temporary shortage of talent in this country, out another result should be new oppor- tunity for native musicians, and par- ticularly for the native singer Though the American vocalist is we'll repre- sented in the big opera houses and is much in evidence in concert. the mainstay of the impresario is still the foreign artist It is not inconceivable that this season The producer will be obliged to draw chiefly on home tal- ent or shut up shop. Such a contin- gency need not be viewed with any apprehension, but should rather be welcomed. It will be good out of a great evil, because it will give the American artist chance to show what is in him. It will be his opportunity to supersede the supercilious Euro pean musician if he really has ,he goods.

The War Spirit.
(Holyoke Transcript.)


 Only yesterday one of the most ac- en in Holyoke made the statement that she only wished that she were back in England whence she has late- ly come. She yearned to be in the crush and the excitement of it.
 Thousands of French, Austrians and Germans, lovers of their land, are pressing at our ports eager to get home and into the fray.
 Women whose wealth and power can bring them the comforts of life were glad to crowd into the outgoing St. Paul yesterday because they wanted to be where the drum beats and the ''Marseillaise'' and God Save the King were filling the air.
 Yesterday all over England there was such a rush to enlist in response to Kitcheners call as the British military history has never known.
 In Russia all men want to get to arms and be part of the line of 6,000,O0O that is now ready to hurl itself upon the more enlightened Teu- ton.
 Canadians can hardly be kept home, so eager are they to go to the aid of
 
 quarrel. but they want to be in this great world fight.
 Every man, woman and. child in France is going singing along the way. some to fight, others to reap the harvest of grain for the fighters. Joy at fever height pervades France above all other nations.
 It is terribly hard to explain it all. ,f ie 1a rd n hn analysed There is something about the drum beats that impels the race to the great war game. The sordid horror of it, the baselessness of it, the awful crime of it do not count at this stage It is the enthusiasm that electrifies the air, that thrills the peo- pie and inspires them to war. Peace is tame and dull There is no swift marching, no hero-making thrill in peace.
 For the hour the war god holds the world and the world fairly laughs it's response. 1t is only at this dis tance that we get the pain of it all. Not those who are engaged in the pay the price. Today is ir- responsible. They who come after must suffer the toll The world of tomorrow will bear the awful burden. We cannot account for it, but it is the spirit of war and it has been so for ages.

Public Improvements and Double
 Tracking.

Editor Herald:
 The Courant correspondent this | morning insinuates that the effort the residents of Chestnut and Stanley streets are ma aking to save their trees and have decent sidewalks is unpro- gressive. We are willing to submit this question to the intelligent public sentiment of the city to decide Is it progressive to contract the sidewa lks on which more than ninety Der cent. of the people walk so that ultimately if not at once they will be obliged to go into the middle of the street, or is it progressive to set back the curbs so far to prevent the pc ople forever from having the bene- fit of shade trees, which add more to the beauty of the city than any other one item?
 The right of the city to decide this question on the broad principle of sound public policy ought to be un- questioned. No state charter ever yet has and probably never will give trolley companies unlimited rights in our streets. A single track in each street with necessary turnouts and sidings is all that could possibly be construed from charter rights. Hence, the trolley company petitioned the city for this right of double track irg. The question has been greatly confused because few have tried to connect double tracking with semi permanent pavement and so have in dustriously circulated the idea which the Courant correspondent, got hold of that the people who favored trees and decent street were holding back public improvements. We believe our effort has been by far the most public spirited and has had the largest public good most in view. If our streets were as wide as West Main street We would welcome double tracking. We have no hostility to the trolley company, but only insist that their convenience merely should not be preferred to the lasting good of the city. On holidays the company easily handles several times its ordinary traffic, showing there is no need of double tracking over this short space too narrow for it.
 No question is ever settled till it is settled right and we believe that if every member of the common council should look into this matter carefully and see how narrowed up the sidewalk space would be, he would endorse the opinion of one prominent member of the council who so looked into it. and said most emphatically that no fifty foot street was wide enough for double tracking.

FACTS AND RANCHES.

An advertisement in a Boston pa per calls for men to work at making toy soldiers for the Christmas trade, imports of that article having ceased Most of the tin soldiers, along with similar toys and trinkets, have come from Germany in the past, but with the toy makers at the front, playing soldier in earnest, America is likely to establish it's own toy factories and keep that business largely in this country.

miles or more in length, and to see
 with the physical eyes little piece of
 if might only make it the more diff
 ficult for the mind to grasp the whole
 clearly and see each part mentally in
 it's proper perspective. In the fight
 inp about Metz in 1870 Bazaine
 showed his incapacity by directing a
 trivial bit of artillery fire when he
 ought to have been thinking about the
 nredicament of his army. Even less
 i,, these days of monster armies can
 inc commander afford to distract his
 mind with details or expose his nerves to the full shock of the battlefield.
 So while in practice a general may prefer to move about with a fast au- tomobile, inspecting things at a safe distance from the firing line. he ean- not forget that to let himself get hit would be to throw away wantonly the equivalent of perhaps a hundred thou sand men-the commander of mill ion soldiers ought to be at least as good as that. And it is not incon- seivable, after a long peace, that the general in charge would have only a knowledge of war, and be- ng deeply absorbed at headquarters with piecing together the whole sit, iation from reports, would be the one nan in the army to go through the war without seeing battle. To him t would be but problem on a chess board, ai.d to his ears would come put faintly the roar from the battle field. With maps and full news by wireless from a vast field Of opera ions, even a Napoleon might possi- ply be kept too busy to have any eisure for watching the battle.
