The Novelist Rebuked.

The late George Alfred Townsend
(Gath) was lunching in New York
one day when a novelist of the realist-
pessimist school began to growl about
marriage.
Gulping his drink and boiling his
boiled beef and cabbage, the novelist
in a long harrangue proved conclusive
ly that marriage was failure.
When he had finished Gath gazed
at him mildly and said:
Il tell you what it is Ed-when
man thinks marriage is failure it's
pretty blamed certain that his VIE
thinks so too"

Fluctuations OF fortune continue
along the 200-mile battle line across
southwestern Belgium and northern
France. The most notable event
Monday was the recapture by the
Germans Of the town of Messines
along the stubbornly contested Yres-
la Bassee front. This place, which
the Germans are holding, has been
taken and retaken no less than four
times since last Saturday, each time
with enormous losses in killed and
wounded on both sides.
Contrary to all reports circulated
during Monday, 0stend and Roulers
are still in the hands of the Ger
mans, according to dispatches from
Amsterdam.
Losses have been tremendous on
both sides during the fighting in
Flanders, though both claim minor
gains. Every foot of ground is won
only at great cost of lives.
So great has been the hutchery OF
late that numbers Of German SOL
diers are said to be entering Holland,
preferring to be interned to the end
Of the war rather than face any
longer the murderous fire to which
they have been subjected.

A Look Ahead.

As the later returns increase the
size of the Republican landslide, spec
ulation regarding the presidential
lineup in 1916 is stimulated. OF
course the denomination of President
Wilson may be taken for granted, for
he is at once the strength and weak
ness of his party. Whatever the short
comings of his administration, lack of
party discipline is not among them,
To him belongs the responsibility for
the good as well as the bad in the r.
cord The disappearance of the third
party from the field is also forecast
by the returns, and is some states the
failure of the Progressives to poll the
necessary percentage has already de-
prived the party of its legal status
Even should Mr.. Roosevelt run as an
independent, such candidacy, the re-
suits of Tuesday show, would not cut
much figure.
1t is the probable Republican nom
inee that the public is discussing, and
candidates for that responsible posi-
ton can already be picked with some
degree of certainty. The triumph of
Mr.. Whitman in New York makes
him leading Republican figure, and
should he continue at Albany the adj
mirable record of public service which
he leaves behind him as district at
torney he may reasonably count upon
the solid support of the New York
delegation in the next national con-
vention. Without New York the hope
of Democratic success would be vain,
which adds to the availability of New
York's choice for the Republican nom
nation two years hence. So success
full prophet as Colonel George Har
vey has, however, fixed upon Senator
Borah of Idaho, and Senator Burton
of Ohio is not without host of adj
mirers who would like to see Ohio
Republicans rally to his support.
Yet in the face of these probable
there are those who to-
day bemoan what they are pleased to
term the lack of leaders in the Re-
publican party. What they really
mean is the lack of dominating per-
sonality, such as that which the Dem
ocrats have in Mr.. Wilson. The Tran
script regards that lack as uncommon
good fortune for the Republicans.
Their main strength has ever been the
fact that theirs was party of princi-
pie and not of personalities, and
therefore eminently fit TO administer
a government of laws and not of men.
The difference between the two parties |
in this respect was well illustrated in
the recent campaign, when Republi-
can candidates for Congress drove |
home their arguments in favor of the |
principle Of protection
against the Democratic doctrine of |
free trade. Put upon the defensive,
their Democratic opponents, instead
If standing by their own policy, sought
TO shield themselves from attack by
hiding behind the personality of the
president and calling upon the elector-
ate to sustain, not the Democracy, but
Woodrow Wilson.
Two years is long time in the cal
sndar Of politics. 1t would be a mis-
axe for the Republicans to tie them
'elves thus early to the ambitions Of
my candidate. The party's chiefcon-
ern should be to use well the measure
