Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan.

7, his first announcement after his
defeat two years ago, Mr.. Roosevelt ialo
down the law respecting those 'repuon-
cans who had refused him support In his
new role and on his new platform. They
must come to him on his own terms The
old party, he told them, was dead He
was representing now the only opposition
to the democracy that promised TO De
effective. Bull moosery was the hope OF
the country.
He still holds that tone, although bull
moosery has gone back in strength, IN
stead of forward. Enrollments every
where for this years contests show heavy
republican gains and as heavy bull moose
losses. In no state is there the slightest
prospect of a bull moose triumph. Not
single bull moose candidate for governor
will be elected, and it will surprise ex-
rerienced politicians if the next House
shows as many as twenty bull moose
members.
Nothing daunted, however. Mr.. Roose-
Welt insists upon his policies, and tells
the republicans they must accept them.
After November he may change his views
and key. He may make no public re-
fractions. but he is likely to be less
tain things that have proved to be most
Objectionable to his former friends.
Mr.. Bryan has had an experience of
this kind After his defeat in 1896 he
warned the democrats who had refused
him support that if they returned to the
party it must be in sackcloth and ashes.
He felt Very confident as to the future.
He had polled a very large vote, all

equation. appeared few by comparison.
But the boilers refused Mr.. Bryan's
terms. They did not like the habiliments
he prescribed. Sackcloth and ashes were
not to their taste. Some of them did not
return at all. They are now republicans.
Others returned on their own terms. en-
couraged by the silence of Mr.. Bryan
about free silver, the policy that had
driven them away. And Mr.. Bryan made
three unsuccessful races for the presi
dency.

ceased to urge the policy on the country.

velt's path. Whenever he sets out for
the White House-and he is travelling that
way now-he will encounter it. The re-
publicans will never accept that policy
At Saratoga the other day Mr.. Root ex-
pressed himself SO forcibly on the sub
ject. and his remarks were so vigorously
applauded no doubt remained as to where
the republicans of Mr.. Roosevelt's own
state stood. and will continue to stand.
And New York's attitude is typical.

War and Art.

In Paris the greatest art treasures Of
the Louvre have been taken from their
places and stored in vaults beneath the
building, including the priceless Venus
de Milo. This is acknowledged to be a
precaution against the possibility of a
German investment of the French cap
ital with a bombardment that may send
destruction far into the city. At Ant
werp similar precautions have been
taken. The chief objects Of art in the
museum and tho celebrated Reubens
paintings in the cathedral have been re-
moved from their positions and put into
comparatively safe places. Antwerp is
Immediately exposed to the danger of
siege and has already felt the destructive
effect of a German dirigible, so that
the hiding of the Reubens works and
other masterpieces for which Antwerp
is famous as an art center is an obviously
sensible action.
War is no respecter Of art. Shells fall
without discretion and do damage in
discriminatory. Even hospitals, which
are supposed to command respect from a
fighting force, cannot be guaranteed
against harm. 1t is reported that the
Zeppelin that flew over Antwerp and
dropped bombs in an effort to reach the
palace of the king inflicted serious dam
age to a hospital in which many wound
ed German soldiers were being nursed.
Practically every city of Europe Of any
size possesses art treasures that are re-
nowned the world over, and in a cam
paign Of the magnitude of the present
the menace to these irreplaceable paint
ings and sculptures is virtually universal.
OF course. the main consideration of
humanity is for the lives OF the men
who are exposed to the perils Of war
fare, and for the welfare Of the people
who do not fight, but who must bear the
heavy burden of privation and suffering
and sorrow But there remains strong
hope that so far as may be consistent
with the prosecution Of the grim work
that Europe has now undertaken.
through what motives history will record
Judgment, the art that has inspired
generations will be spared.

Speaker speaks to Speaker approvtugly
across the stretch Of a quarter century.
And yet the most prominent democrats
IN the House when Mr. Reed first counted
quorum denounced the action. and al
most precipitated a riot in the chamber.
On more than one occasion. indeed. the
Speaker was threatened with personal
violence. But he held to his course. and
presently had the satisfaction Of seeing
his new rules adopted by the opposition
and applauded by the very men who had
formerly resisted them.

why not one also to Mr.. Cannon, who in
his day contributed something in that
line?
Mr. Cannon, too, encountered opposi-

nounced; and even some republicans

ton. They first satisfied themselves they
were right, and then went ahead. Mis-
representation and denunciation failed to
move them in the slightest They APP
pealed to time-the custom with strong
men-and time has indicated them.
The House is a big, and at times tur-
bulent, body. It's rules should be firmly
administered, and Speaker Clark is the
sort of man to do that. The medicine he
is now giving he himself may have to
take in the near future; but that has
nothing to do with the duty of today.

The Lost Day.

1--WE lost day-a precious day."
A man exclaimed in deep dismay.
Those golden hours might have made
To yield me benefits in trade.

A songbird drifting lightly by

A fleeting picture and a song.

Like others went it's steadfast way.
Each golden hour with patient care

A day Of melody and smile,

Speaker Clark repeats today the tribute
he paid Speaker Reed seventeen years
ago. He then said that the latter had
earned a monument for his quorum
counting rule.
At that time Mr.. Clark was a new men,
Der of Congress, and spoke from a small
knowledge and experience of parliamen-
tary procedure. He speaks today as a
veteran, and from the office Mr.. Reed
held when the latter reformed the rules
of the House.

the greater, and great weight. Mr..
Clark knows how it is himself. The

Germans as
Farm Workers.

Germans as charge of the dis
ry.l tribution branch Of
Farm Workers. the United states
immigration service at New York, has
just submitted to Commissioner General
Caminettt a report of the first six
months cooperative experiment between
the government and a New York German
newspaper In assisting Germans to find
agricultural work.
The experiment began during the first
week Of February and the report, which
covers a period from that time until
August 8. shows that liza Germans ap-
piled at the New York immigration office
for positions. and Of this number $50 per-
sons were found competent and directed
to positive employment. Commissioner
General Caminetti considers this record
excellent in view of the fact that this
is the first time that the government
and foreign language newspaper have
co-operated in publicity campaign to
promote the beneficial distribution of
aliens and citizens of the United States
who wish to avail themselves of "oppor-
tunities for labor in agricultural COM
munities.
The men who obtained positions
through the cooperation Of the govern
ment and the German newspaper were
located in twenty-three different states.
New York and New Jersey received the
greater number of the laborers due
| largely to the small cost Of transporta-
| ton from New York city. A number Of
the middle western states, however, took
advantage of the opportunity to obtain
foreign laborers as a result Of the pub
|, licity campaign. Wisconsin. for instance,
being credited with fifty-two and Mich
igan with thirty-five
The men obtained positions paying sal
aries ranging from $3.50 to S55.25, in
addition to free board and lodging. The
average salary obtained was $23 %, be-
sides board and lodging. Through this
single channel Of publicity for one ma
tionality alone there resulted in three
months the placing of $50 Germans on
farms where they became producers.
This number Of men at the average
salary paid received approximately s14,-
6S5 month In wages in addition to
board and lodging.
Because Of the success which has at
tended the governments experiment with
| one newspaper Commissioner General
| Caminetti has obtained the cooperation
| of nearly half a hundred newspapers
published both in English and foreign
| languages In all parts Of the United
States.

perts will start approximately at the
