TIE MAN OFF THE JOB.

Evening Wisconsin,
Last year when an important CORE
spondence with Japan was in progress
prompt attention to Japan's notes to
the government of the United States
was impossible because Of the absence
of the Secretary of State from Wash
ington on account Of his private en-
gagements as lecturer. The same
thing has clogged the action Of the
State Department ON several occasions
when there was dangerous approach
to a crisis in American relations with
Mexico. To wide spread criticism Of
his neglect Of his public business, for
which he is paid a salary of twelve
thousand dollars u year, he has re-
sponded to the effect that he lectures
because he needs the money, though it
is generally understood that he is very
comfortably well off in this world s
goods much more so shan many dis
tiuguished and able men who have held
his high Office in the past and devoted
themselves to its duties. The European
crisis has given rise to a new outbreak
of criticism of Secretary Bryan, the
tenor Of which is represented by the
following from the Boston Transcript:
"What a pity it is what a humilia-
ton, that in this crisis the Washington
government is in no position to assist
the cause of world peace Attention
is called in another column to the abb
sence of the Secretary of State on the
chautauqua circuit on a day when all
Europe was on the brink of war. Even
were Secretary Bryan on the JOB he
knows nothing Of European affairs; he
refuses to take the time to study them;
his ENJOYS abroad are new and equally
inexperienced, and the foreign policy Of
this administration has made the United
States such figure Of fun the world

"WAR is HE'LL"

Yes, Gen. Sherman was right when
he said "War is hell. " This all Europe
will find out, and soon
The latest is England's severing Of
all diplomatic relations with Germany,
which was announced late Tuesday.
Seven powerful nations are now at
it with a desire to annihilate, to wipe
humidity off the earth, and other coun-
tries might become involved before
peace reigns again.

The distinction between profession
ais and amateurs in college athletics is
based more on snobbery than sense. If
a boy plays ball for money in vacation
to pay his way honestly through college
he is a professional If he plays for
secret money all through the college
course he is Immaculate amateur. Col
lege students should be judged for
what they are. If they keep M in
their studies they should be allowed to
play in whatever games they like. If
they do not keep up they should be re-
fentlessly disciplined without regard to
the needs of the college teams.

AT LAST.
Milwnnkee Free 30

Milwaukee Free Press.
The administration policy Of at
tempting the pacific dissolution Of lille
gally operating trusts prior to prosecu-
ton has struck snag in the case of
the NeW Haven road.
The directors Of that buccaneering
enterprise having very plainly ''ployed
horse" with the attorney general in his
negotiations, the wrath of the depart
ment of Justice is at length aroused and
| President Wilson rises to the occasion
with the fervor of meodramatie hero.
A civil suit to dissolve New England $
railroad Gibraltar, no less than criminal
proceedings against its silk-tiied de-
Tenders is the program through which
the administration hopes to atone for
its puttering, mealy-mouthed course in
dealing with the most desperate rail-
road situation.
Altogether, the course is rather diff
cult Of comprehension. For half year
and more Attorney General McReynolds
has had the indictments of responsible
officials in his pigeon holes. But he
used them no more than he tried to
save the New Haven for its innocent
stockholders.
We have frequently in the past ex-
pressed our sompathy for the men and
women Of New England, the stock
holders who have been the chief victims
Of the constituencies loot of this road.
We have hoped that the road might be
freed of its monopolistic faint and es-
established on a sound basis by means
the least injurious to the innocent in
terests involved
But the question was then as now:
How long and to what extent dare the
department of justice shield men charg-
able with the most calculated and heni-
GUS crimes against the fundamental
economic laws Of the state?

The most lamentable loss from war
is the toll Of men; and think of the heart
aches and suffering Of innocent women
and children. The setback to the world s
progress is also a very serious result
Of war. A great European conflict al
this time would mean the undoing of
the wonderful progress Of the last
quarter century. Like unto the bridge
which peace takes months, even years,
to build for the commerce Of the ma
tons, war blows it into junk 10 a few
minutes

the expectation of munitions of war
to both Huerta and the constitu-

go. 1t is known that Huerta's S
forces are able to secure arms from
abroad and the constitutionalists
have no srch opportunity. Constitu-
tionalist agents here, when they

GROUND HOG IN JAX PRE-
diets WINTER OVER

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 3.-The
ground hog" did not see his
shadow yesterday morning. accord.
ing to the statement Of many OBJ
serving early risers, consequently,
they say, the backbone Of winter is
broken. and for the next six weeks
at least there will be little rain and
an abundance Of sunshine for Flor
ida, or at least this part of the
State. Feb. 2 is said to be the in
fallible date for his coming out.
The old saying is that the hog on
Feb. comes forth from his winter
quarters in his hole in the ground
and lifts his weather eye to the
heavens in an effort to decide wheth-
er to cease his long sleep or return
until later in the spring. If he finds
the sky so clear that his shadow is
thrown on the ground he goes back
into his hole and there are forty
more days of bad weather; but II
cloudy, gray weather greets him
as he emerges, he is perfectly satis-
fed that the winters bad weather is
at an end.

WIRE TAPPERS AND
OUTFIT ARE CAPTURED

Jacksonville, Feb. 3.-Following
g report from two alleged victims of
confidence men yesterday J. D.
Ball, alias Roland, Of Atlanta, was
placed under arrest by Detective ] i.
@. Quattlebaum and charged with
being a suspicious character and be.
ing implicated in the alleged rob.
berry of two complainants by the race
betting process. A baggage ticket
found on the person of Ball directed
the police to his room at local no.
tel, where a complete wire Taper
outfit was discovered in readiness ia
carry on the betting game, which
has won so much notoriety in Flor.
ida this winter. One of the victims
of the ICON" men. to the amount Of
$685., j. H. Spry, of Fruitland
Ca, has identified Ball as one of the
members Of the gang Of Sharks
and the man who acted as paymas-
ter. Nelson Everest, of Unahilla,
Neb., another victim of confidence
men to the amount Of $196 and non
negotiable paper for a large amount,
was unable to identify Ball as one
of the men who engaged him in the
betting game, but 1t is thought that
persons in the same ring are re-
sponsible for his loss.
In both cases the victims were
urged to meet the confidence men in
Savannah, Ga, where they stated
the main office Of their alleged firms
would cash the large bets supposed
to have been won.
