The Death Of Mrs. Wilson.

The President and his daughters are as
sured Of the profoundest sympathy Of
all in their irreparable loss. 1t will, even
in this time Of almost universal commo-
tion. be noted far beyond the borders of
America. and wherever noted will touch
the hearts of men and women.
Although not advised of the gravity OF
her ailment, the public had yet known of
Mrs. Wilson's poor health and had fol-
lowed her condition with much solicitude.
The President. however. must have OBJ
served the gradual deepening of the
shadow lowering over his household; and
it increases the sympathy felt for him
that such a burden should have been add
ed to others of different character. but
all heavy. which he has been carrying for
months
Mrs. Wilson was woman OF superior
intelligence, of the highest culture, of
artistic tastes and gifts. of warm heart.
Of domestic inclinations. and fitted in
every way for the companionship of the
accomplished gentleman to whom she had
given her hand She presided over his
household wherever they lived with hap
piness and help for him. and benefit for
all around her.
When fortune crowned her life and his
with the highest station in the land. she
addressed herself as diligently 10 her task
as he did to his. and made within the
sphere of her activities as distinct i'm
preston. Not contenting herself with the
conventional duties Of her place-which
she discharged with grace and charm
she gave thought and time to the public
Affairs of the community. and threw the
weight of her name and sympathy and
trained intelligence into the scale for bet
Ter conditions. Her last thoughts were
tor the poor; and Congress is putting a
law on the books for their benefit in
obedience 10 her parting wishes.
Her life was one of usefulness and
beauty. and her memory will abide.

Mrs. Wilson's Legacy.

Mrs. Wilson the wife of the President, has
left legacy to the people of the District
in the legislation for the regulation of
alley houses, which at her dying request
was urged for passage. During the few
months of her occupancy of the White
House Mrs Wilson manifested a keen
interest in the public welfare and partic.-
pated in various movements for the anne
lioration of the condition of the poor
The question of housing especially con-
cerned her. for she realized that it is i'm
possible to expect good living from peo-
pie who are forced by their circumstances
and the lack of better quarters into in
sanitary, unwholesome dwellings. Hers
was a practical and not theoretical con-
cern. and she was directly interested in
the framing of legislation to correct the
evils of Wash.ngton's alley housing The
bill which the Senate passed yesterday
afternoon, virtually at her last request.
was the result of consultation In which
she participated. and It Is unfortunate
that greater speed was not gained, so
that the new law could have been put
into effect during her lifetime. The graft
flying promptness In response to her
wishes. however, brings benefit which
the District appreciates. and doubtless IN
some unmistakable manner the people of
Washington will manifest their gratitude
and pay 4 tribute to the memory OF the

all likelihood great naval engage

for it is distinctly in the interest OF
each power to rid those waters of the
ships of the other in order to facilitate
the landing of troops in Belgium ana
France and to lessen the menace OF
attack upon home shores If the Eng

the Baltic and hold them there by
guarding the two outlets, the straits
of Elsinore and the mouth of the Eloe.
which is virtually the North sea end OF
the kiel canal, they will have accom-
plished all that is necessary for the
purposes of the land campaign. but
doubtless the British sea strategy will
carry further than this and seek the
absolute destruction of the kaiser's
navy.
Meanwhile sea fighting is likely to
occur in various parts of the world, as
British or French vessels encounter
German ships. Just at present there
is keenest concern regarding the pres
ence between here and England of sew
eral German ships, which are menac-
ing sea traffic and are now being
sought vigorously by a superior Brit
iSh force. 1t is reported to be the de-
sign of the British government to clear
the Atlantic of hostile vessels and
maintain a safe steamship lane between
England and the United States. There
is keen concern on this score in this
country, for the sooner the sea way
between here and England is rendered
safe the more quickly can the Ameri-
cans now marooned abroad return
home

Financing War.
From the Buffalo Express

or course, the flnanciers could pre-
vent the war-that is. if the governments
would respect the financiers and protect
them in their refusal to supply money.
But when nations go to war the civ
ilized rules of mine and thine are apt to
be forgotten. and the more general the
war is. the greater must be the dispo-
sition to take the necessary money from
those who have 1t when peace is restored

Villa and his Mexicans have turned
war into a profitable venture for them
selves-so profitable that they are loath
to give up the enterprise. Our own
southern states kept up most deter
mined war for four years with hardly
any financial resources to back it. Ma
poleon financed his wars, accumulated
great funds for future wars, enriched his
lieutenants and for time made France
prosperous by levying upon the people
whom he conquered. 1t is pretty the
ory that there are great capitalists who
have power to make or prevent war as
they choose who rule kings by power of
gold and who may decide the fate OF
nations. But there is no capitalist who
ever could collect a debt except as some
government made it collectible.

Roosevelt and Hinman.

Mr.. IIinman is opposed to boss rule IT
New York. and. copying his sponsor, Mr.
Roosevelt. he couples William Barnes
jr. and Charles F. Murphy together and
pronounces against both. If elected gov
ernor he will hold himself above all
boss influences from whatever quarter
and give the state an administration on
anti-boss lines This pleases Mr.. Roose-
Welt and the more prominent of Mr..
Reosevelt's bull moose friends. and seems
to promise Mr.. Hinman the bull moose
nomination.
But anti-bossism is not the only cry in
New York. The republicans under Mr.
Roots leadership. are preparing their
platform. and. of course, Mr.. Roosevelt
will write. or dictate, the bull moose
platform.
That the two deliverances will differ
widely is certain. Mr.. Root is on Mr..
Roosevelt's black list. Though so near
to him for many years. and so highly
valued and publicly praised by him. MIR.
Rect committed the objectionable sin
when at Chicago two years ago he sup
ported Mr.. Taft. and. later condemned
Mr.. Roosevelt's vagares respecting the
courts and court proceedings. The recall
Of judges and of judicial decisions neces-
sarily aroused Mr. Roots warm objec-
ton.
Now If Mr.. Hinman through Mr..
Roosevelt's influence, is nominated by the
hull moosers and also by the republicans
through the influence of the spirit OF
fusion. what will he do about the two
~, mkt yrill f.
ferent things? He will not be able to
accept both. and he cannot make COM
posite platform by picking and choosing
from the two those planks that may
suit him best.
II ne accepts the bull moose platform
expressing the Roosevelt view of things
he cannot hoae for the support in Novem-
Der of repr Slicans of the Root stripe; and
if he accepts the republican platform ex-
pressing the Root view OF things many
bull moosers will cut him at the polls.
The New York campaign is not strictly
a local one. Local affairs enter consid-
erahly into it, and will receive much at
tsntion. But so far as Mr.. Roosevelt is
concerned. his leading consideration is
his ambition to return to the White
House, and every move he makes now
has that supreme object in view. If he
elects Mr.. Hinman governor this year, he
will expect him to use his office to create
sentiment in New York for a fusion of
republicans and bull moosers in 1916
under the Roosevelt leadership and the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt for Presi-
dent

Sea Warfare.

While there have been a number of
small captures at sea. the first serious
naval loss of the war in Europe is suf-
fered by the British. the cruiser Am
phion sinking after striking a mine.
with loss of 130 men. This vs. by no
means an index of the relative naval
strength of England and Germany. 1t
is only an accidental happening, due
TO the scattering of mines by German
vessels in waters that may later be
frequented by the kaisers own navy.
The promiscuous planting of mines in
time of war is of exceedingly doubtful
propriety. and should be discounte-
nanced by all civilized nations. Wholly
innocent and neutral vessels may be de
stroyed by the loosing of such agencies
of devastation.
For several days reports of heavy
lighting in the North sea between Brit
ish and German ships have come. but
without details. or, indeed, any index
as to tNe verify of these rumors. In

Senatorial Contests.

Recent senatorial primaries resulted in
favor of some well known men. and vigor-
Gus campaigns between now and Novem-
ber are certain.
In Kentucky the democrats nominated
former Gov Beckham, the republicans
former Gov Wilson. The bull moosers
made nomination, but without hope of
doing more than injuring the republicans.
The contest for the democratic nomination
was bitter and close, and the republicans
are expecting as a result some defections
to their side Their nominee is an able
and estimable man. But as the state
normally is democratic. and as Gov. Beck
ham has shown strength in every one Of
his previous appeals. he will probably
show strength in this.
In Missouri Mr.. Stone was renominated
by his party. though not without opposi-
ton. His position in the Senate is among
the leaders. and as chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations he is now very
much in the picture. A great deal of inn
portant business is before that committee,
and very much more of the same kind may
follow the present European colossal COM
plications.
In Kansas former Senator Curtis defeat
eu fSTlStOW lot republican uOI1lllld-
ton, and the bull moosers very properly
nominated Mr.. Murdock after deciding to
make a campaign. About the situation in
the state there are conflicting reports. One
is that the great majority of the bull
moosers have returned without conditions
to the republican parry. while another
rport is that they are still numerous
enough to defeat the republicans. and
are bent on doing so. The democratic
hope is in the size of the bull moose vote
In Oklahoma Mr.. Gore won his race,
after a somewhat spirited contest
The influence Of the administration will
be thrown in favor of the democratic
nominee in every one of these states. Gov.
Beckham and Mr.. Gore were among the
original Wilson men. and Mr.. Gore was a
hard worker at Baltimore. Mr. Stone
was Of course a Clark man there, but,
since then, he has established very close
relations with Mr.. Wilson, and is today
much consulted by the President.
The influence of Mr.. Roosevelt will of
course be exerted for Mr.. NIurdock. He
likes the Kansas man. and recently COM
plimented his leadership of the bull moose
party in the House. A warm fight in
Kansas will be no novelty. The people of
the state do nothing tamely or by halves.
and in politics particularly are famous for
strenuosity. and for doing their level best
at the polls.

"Pick It Up
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Habits formed in childhood are usu-
ally lasting. With that idea as a
basis the playground and school au-
thorities in Rochester have placed
signs conspicuously located on the
Fairgrounds on which are displayed
these words. "Pick it up" The idea is
to have the children clear away the
disorder they create during play be
fore they leave the grounds. The plan
is reported to have shown Immediate
results 1t has been possible to dis
pense with the caretaker of the
grounds. The boys and girls leave the
grounds in perfect condition. No
waste paper is left scattered about. no
playthings are out of place. all is
snugged up for closing before the
crowd of rollicking youngsters leave
their playground. 1t is just as easy
to teach children to be orderly as to
be disorderly.

the laughing stock of Europe" Brit

was to end in disaster. Yet our much
derided American diplomacy solved the
Mexican problem without a war, while

has plunged Europe into the greatest
conflict known to history.
