Hank Gowdy, Hero.

II is in the nature of things that

by the case of Hank Gowdy. just now

ball games. playing alternately in Phil
adelphia and Boston, perhaps going no
further than the first shift from city

known as a first-class catcher and oc-

"slugger," as the expressive language
of the sport goes. There were heavier

Opponents of all forms of civil service

doctrine of thrift and self-provisiou

possibility OF the average government

Is There No Clean of Light?

From the ST. Paul Pionecr-Press.
When so profound student and so

peace is possible, it must give the world
pause. 1t is awesome and abhorrent to
realize that such are conditions that
the optimism of this learned disciple of
international adjustment and serenity
can see no outcome but war until one
side is exhausted and crushed so deeply
into the slough of defeat that it cam
not evade the bitter terms to be in
ficted by the wrath, suffering and cost
to the winner. The world has settled
down to the dread conviction that 1t
must be a long conflict, unparalleled in

science are not idle in Its depression.

The Team Work" of Tongues.

Some amusement is being extracted
from the report that members OF the
cabinet now on the stump or on the
eve of taking the stump have had
limits set to the lines of their deliver
ances and must be guarded against
overstepping them. The arrangement
is described as sort of censorship.
1t is related of Lord Melbourne, Queen
Eictoria's first prime minister very
witty and cynical statesman-that, on
one occasion, as a cabinet meeting was
breaking up after considering some
phase of the corn laws. and when the
discussion had not been very clear. the
premier said stop a bit. Is it to
lower the price of bread. or isn't it? 1t
doesn't much matter which, but we
must all say the same thing"
The point in the present case is that
the members of the cabinet must all
say the same thing" Not in the same
terms. of course. That could not we'll
be. Mr. Bryan will speak as a rhetori-
clan. Mr.. Redfield will speak as busi
ness man whose training was as a CON-
mercial traveller. Mr.. Wilson will ad
dress labor with the knowledge gained
while working as miner. And so on.
But their text will be the same-the
sufflciency of the administration. and
the advisability of electing another
democratic Congress.
This is another manifestation of the
New Leadership. Mr. Wilson wants
team work" in tongues He recognizes
the danger as we'll as the great value of
stumping. and would save both the
stumpers and the administration from
haphazard presentation by them of
the issues in the campaign.
cabinet member is a national Off
cia1 When he appears before an audi
ence there is expectation of a discus
sion of national questions. Local ques-
tions can be safely left to local stump
ers. who are informed about local SEN
timent and ought to know how best to
deal with it.
The members of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet
are in cordial and even enthusias astic
agreement as to national questions and
his handling of them. They have been
his advisers in the way that Congress
has advised him. They have asked
more opinions of him than he of them,
and have taken all he has given. In
the very fullest sense he has been sit
ting and still sits. at the head of the
table. If he is not Macgregor. there is
not a gentleman of that name in the
United States.
Team work" of the tongues there
fore was not only a proper demand by
Mr.. Wilson, but easily arranged. His
friends were glad to accept his views
about what to say, first, because they
deferred to his judgment, and, second,
because of their earnest desire to pro.
mote the interests of their party at this
important stage of it's fortunes.

The War Tax in the Campaign.

If the war tax measure is passed this
week. there will be two weeks for dis
cussion of it in the campaign.
Some of the democratic leaders fear
the effect at the polls. They frankly ad-
nit that war tax is unpopular, and
are wondering how much so this tax will
be, when the country Is not at war. and
all business is depressed and everybody
anxious about the future
The situation is not only unusual, but
most perpleNing. There is nothing to
guide by. The whole world is upside
down. and there is no telling when it
will right itself. We are sharing In a
confusion which, in its largest aspects
at least. We did not help create
At the same time the republicans ac-
cuse the democrats of having produced
a situation entirely outside of war eff
fects from which the country is suffer
ing. And they point to a tariff law
which has failed either to raise sufficient
revenue or stimulate business, to a cur
rency law which even bankers are find
ing difficulty about understanding, and
to new antitrust laws which are certain
to promote much litigation.
Ordinarily. the advantage would be
Will the TepuDllcdfiS bUL mere is the
war. which has dwarfed and subordi-
mated SO many things, dwarfing and
subordinating many American things, and
no man may say with safety just where
as a people We are. And two weeks may
not be enough time in which to drive
home what there may be for the repub-
licans in the war tax issue
The Senate has made some changes in
the Houses bill, and will probably make
others before the debate closes. But the
end will see measure not we'll devised
to meet the emergency. 1t may produce
the amount of money required, but it
will not produce it from the sources that
should have yielded it. The three luxu-
ries. whisky, beer and tobacco, should
have been assessed for the whole BILL
leaving other things untouched at this
time of widespread pinch and business
uneasiness.
But the majority party is not wholly
to blame for this. The luxuries have
their friends in both camps, and exert a
great deal of influence in all politics,
municipal, state and national They run
many of our cities, and. if unchecked,
would run the states and the nation.
The war tax Of 1898 was laid at a
time when all business had revived, and
prosperity was abundant. Moreover, We
were then engaged in war. and had de-
clared it by the votes of both political
parties, Now we are at peace, and nearly
all business is halted.

Smashing Things.

From the Springfield Republican.
When French cavalry in 1870 captured
German guns, being unfamiliar with
breechloaders, they were at loss to
spike them. and in some cases were
driven off before before they had dis
abled them. L might be supposed that
motor cars would be easier to dispose

Civilization seems more eager in these
days to smash things than to make

drals.
