convention form so large a part in
the shaping of our lives. And they
are questions the honest answering
of which would completely trans
form the social fabric.
For as a matter of fact, people
generally, and women in particular
live almost entirely with reference
to public opinion. They seem afraid
to state their own views, to think
their own thoughts, to live their
own lives, because of the unrelent-
ing bonds of convention. 1t is as
though one set rule were laid down
for the patterning of all lives, and
deviation were permissible only by
very ineffective little variations, no
more important than the frilis to
the general lines of a gown.
But that's not reasonable. It's
not sane It's not honest. Presum-
ably God has given a brain. And

Patronage.

The controversy that has arisen be-
tween the President and the Senate
over appointments to office should not
tail off into technicalities. The matter
at issue is far too important for such u
turn. 1t ought to be held to the larger
lines.
There is a text for some pretty dis
putation over the full meaning and
value of recess appointment; now
long it holds, and whether 1t may be
renewed after inaction or adverse ac-
ton by the Senate. The record shows
that here u persistent President has
won, and there united and persistent
Senate has won. Lawyers. principally,
delight in that sort Of shindy.
But the larger question relates to
the consideration the President should
give to the body which in the matter
of the more important patronage of the
government Is his constitutional ad-
wiser. Should he ignore or defy that
body? Should he affront it by insisting
on an appointment which it has formal
ly rejected? Should he at the instiga-
ton OF outsiders attempt to set the
senate ASIDE ana accept az advisers in
the matter OF patronage men who hold
no mandate from the people to say
anything on the subject?
AS usual. New York supplies the bone
of contention. She Is always rich in
that material. Her politics Is OF the
systematic and strenuous brand, and
patronage counts heavily in the game.
At present tine democracy OF the state
IS divided into three factions, the regu-
lars. the irresulaTs anu the Suizerites.
Two years ago the party was united
under the leadership of the regulars
and carried the state for Mr.. Wilson.
The complaint now is that Mr.. Will

constitutional adviser of the President,
and has a responsibility of his own to
meet. He is supposed to know the
situation at home. and naturally wants
to be heard as to the distribution of
the New York patronage.
1t is an old, old controversy, con-
stantly presenting new angles and fea-
lures; and it has given some Presi-
dents and some Senates much trou-
bic. 1t is no respecter of parties. Re-
publicans have had their share of the

Wartime Annexations.
rom the Cleveland Pa n Dealer.


BY announcing the formal annexation
of that part of Alsace now held by the
French army the government of
France makes strong sentimental ap-
peal to the people. The recovery of
Alsace aud Lorraine is the prime am
bition of France in the war. and the
fervid desire of every Frenchman.
The knowledge that twenty-ohe COM
munes of Alsace, though a small part
of the whole, are actually reclaimed
will be an inspiration to the senti-
mental patriotism of the Gauls OF
course the annexation really means lit
tie or nothing. The territory is now
held by the French, tomorrow it may
be held by the Germans. The final
status of Alsace will be in no way af-
fected by wartime proclamations. Bel
GUM has been annexed by Germany,
Galicia by Russia, Turkey lays formal
claim to Egypt. But none OF tues
holdings or claims will affect the plen-
ipotentiaries to whom the final settle
ment will be intrusted. If Germany is
victorious in the war, she may retain
Belgium: if Germany loses. France
may take Alsace and Lol raine, anu
Russia may retain Galicia. No matter
who wins, Egypt will not be given to
Turkey; some other reward will have
to be found for the sultan if he is on
the victorious side. Proclamations
annexation are devised almost solely
for their sentimental effect. They are
OF no practical value.

been brought tragically home to the
British people. They are alternately
amazed and chagrined at the ability ei
the German warships to escape the
Gordon supposedly hemming them in
tightly at the mouth of the Elbe and
at the northwestern entrance to the
Baltic. and outraged by the useless at
tack upon unfortified towns and the
wanton destruction of life.
Interest centers upon the fact that
this raid proves the British sea block
ade to be Ineffective. If it is in truth
gauntlet OF the guardships in the
North sea there is no real security for
British navigation, These cruisers that
ran along the Yorkshire coast shelling
unfortified cities may continue on their
course TO strike at transatlantic ship
ping. Yet it is hardly to be believed
that this is their purpose, for they
would probably not have wasted time,
and coal in SO purposeless
a demonstration, but would have struck
off for the steamer lanes by shorter
route. possibly around the northern
coast of Scotland. 1t is to be noted that
sea insurance rates leaped with the
news of this attack upon Scarborough,
and Hartlepool.
Evidently no suggestion is conveyed
by the coast raid that Germany con-
templates an effort to land troops in
England. Even though transports and
cruiser conveys might break through
the lines and reach the English shores
and effect a landing for several divi-
sions. the Germans would still be con-
fronted with the problem which was
so tersely stated by Napoleon when he
said that he could think of a hundred
ways of getting an army into England
but not one way to get it out.
