Good Advice.
Springfield Republican. }

NopFlDSIlelu 6epuDllcan.)
 More than any other profession newspaper work admits of no divid- ed allegiance. The great mistake of Horace Greeiey's life was made when he allowed himself to be persuaded to run for the presidency and there by an honorable career was brought to sad anti-climax Instances might be multiplied of off1ceholding editors whose influence has thereby been dis. sipated. The editorial office calls for judicial quality of the highest order, and no officeholder possesses that. He cannot be disinterested commenta- tor on men and things. It is neces- sary that the editor keep himself free from entangling alliances of all kinds. The newspaper men of the United States are slowly coming to this larger view of an environment ] which is quite as necessary to them | as to our judges.
 1t was the good fortune of the late pr. St. Clair Mckelway, long editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, to be saveo
 from mistake that would have kept him from the large career that was l his. After Mr. McKelway had made | place for himself in newspaper work he thought he saw an opening
 for thriftier livelihood in public
 office and applied for the post of ! deputy collector of internal revenue. i His application was indorsed by Hor- l ace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, Hen l ry Ward Beecher, Thurlow Weed, and
 others of equal prominence. His ap-
 peal brought a favorable response and MT. McKelway was told to present 1 himself for work at a certain date. | One evening Mir. Weed sought young ] McKelway in Albany and urged him ] to decline the appointment and stick | to journalism MT. Weed, one of the most powerful politicians of his time declared that in taking postmaster ship in Rochester and a nomination for the New York assembly he had made a mistake, and he did not wish his young friend to make one like 1t. The Brooklyn Eagle quotes MT. Weed as saying that "he did not know any newspaper man who had taken office who had not in that act gone wrong. = That is the law and the gospel for real newspaper men, and fortunately the waiting post in the revenue ser vice was never taken. So Mr. Weed preserved MT. McKelway for his lar ger service.

"'This Is the Life.
Philadelphia Public Ledger )

tPnlIadelphla Public Ledger.)
 With Europe pressing madly the business of slaughter and America pressing madly the business of making the implements of slaughter, such common sense is rare as that of John McLaren, who gave up business in England, which is said to have paid him $50,00O a year, to cut stone in America for $2.50 a day, merely be- cause he found it more congenial. This is the life, the only satisfactory life" says MT. McLaren; 'I am happy with my brothers of the humber places."@ MT. McLaren has become a practical demonstrator of "the great Theorem of the Liveableness of Life. !" He knows that if person is not happy he may find happiness by moving to pastures new. He knows, moreover. that if man cannot remain happy without leaving his job, he ought to leave the job.
 Why should man spend his days and nights picking flaws in contracts or calling the turn of the stock market when he really wants to be milking cows or fishing, or designing houses, or painting pictures, or writing son.

Poor Mems Hotels. (South Norwalk Sentinel.)

{, 44 E
 A clean comfortable ped in, a clean, comfortable room, a shower bath, a clean night shirt and slippers, and the use of shaving and other toilet uten- sils, all for the price of ten cents that is what is promised by the Rufus F. Dawes Hotel Association, which plans to establish chain of poor mems hostelries in various cities throughout the country. The first enc is being built in Boston.
 It is in no sense a charity, as the Rufus Fearing Dawes hoJef in Chicago is to some extent That institution, built as a memorial to the son of MT. Dawes, a Chicago. business man, has served as a sort of laboratory for the working out of a hotel to provide res pectable accommodations very cheap ly on a pay basis MT. Dawes and his assistants are satisfied that they have solved the problem. The new chain of hotels will be run as straight business institutions. With the low rate men toned for lodging, and similar rock bottom prices for nourishing meals, and patrons paying for everything they get. a return of per cent, on the in- vestment is expected
 What the system may mean for the big cities especially during a hard winter, may be judged from the fact that in the first years operation of the Dawes hotel in Chicago it accom- modated 180, ,000 guests and served 60,- coo meals

Turning Down Chances.
Bridgeport Standard )

The Aero Club of America offered to furnish to the National Guard of Pennsylvania, at it's recent encamp- ment machines and men for the con- ducting of experiments in aviation and to instruct the members of the mili- tia in the science of aviation. The Adjutant General declined the offer and is now being severely criticised therefor. So good a chance to begin operations in that line will not again offer soon. and it is generally felt that the decidedly important and patriotic offer of the club should have been ac- cepted It will be needful to intro- duce something of that sort into the military training given to citizen sol diers if the national guards of the various states are to be thoroughly prepared for war under modern con- ditions.
 ain are ignoring that fact and pro- ceeding to strike at their enemy in neutral Great Britain has always manifested proper disposition when it comes to protecting against harm the lives and property of Americans, which stands out strongly in it's favor in comparison with the acts of Ger many, but there are even then rights which have been promised this and all other neutral nations which are not Icing received That respect for them is expected is what American representation to both countries show.

The Persisting Dream of Perpetua
 Peace.
(waterbury Republican,. !.

4 The war leaflets and pamphlets that f1oat on every mail into the newspa- per offices are without number and most of them also, without marked individuality, mere incoherent echoes of views which have been many times ably expressed.
 There is great significance in the fact that the peace leaflets are al- most as numerous. Every day or two some obscure writer, unknown to fame but a lover of his k1no un- dertakes to set forth his plan for worldwide and perpetual peace ana to circulate it to the press or the nation at his own risk or expense. They come also from neutral Euro- pean lands. Generally there Is oeep religious note to these outpourings, sometimes they grapple with the SUD ject as a mere political problem, put always they show simple faith that there is an easy way to constltute an international court of arbitration, that can forbid war. and will be backed by an international army ana navy to@enforce it's decrees. The fixed idea among them is that war is unneces- sary.
 EVen Tn the Hllust VI 'io and perhaps the most unnecessary and barbarous war of all times, men dare to dream of universal peace. They have faith in their dreams. They believe in humanity, in It's love of peace, industry and order, in it's obedience to conscience, in It's ability to learn from it's ownssadg miftakes. Neither Poland, nor Belgium Anor the Lusitania can conquer this aspiration for the peace ideal It's voice is dur ing the very wreck of war though at present almost drowned out by the thunder of guns. Thereby, lies some hope for the future.
 It is only still, small voice, but it is heard from many directions. and it represents the silent millions who are thinking, thinking.

Better Business.
(From the Boston Post) ).


 When the war broke out in Europe, almost year ago, it was apparent to everyone that the United States was the great storehouse upon which Europe would have to draw for sup plies of every kind. At first the breaking down Of the international financial machine checked business here, but almost immediately this was put in shape again, and the out flow of goods began.
 Tn the beginning it was foodstuffs, and under this demand for price of wheat touched the highest mark in 15 years; then came the demand for our metals copper, lead and zinc, for the manufacture of ammunition; then the miscellaneous demand for every thing an army could use from can teens and cartridges to automobiles and airships.
 Now the boom is broadening out and Europe is ordering steel rails and locomotives, the Russian inquiry re- gently received being for a larger ton mage than ever placed in this country.
 We have maintained from the first that this heavy foreign trade was bound to be reflected in quickening of the pulse of domestic business; and , it is a significant fact that the big steel corporation, without taking any direct war orders is now operating at a rate almost equal to the best re- ported in any previous industrial boom.

The Fourth Congressional District.

(New Haven Journal Courier.)
 Various impressions are being made upon political observers by the testi- mony being taken in the nearing or Donovan versus Hill in the fourth congressional district Of tnis state Former Congressman Donovan IS seeking to keep Congressman Hlll Uncle Ebenezer, from his seat on the ground that money was used corrupt ly in his behalf. The testimony IS not so convincingly direct as It IS sus- piciously evasive. One would judge from it that Mr. Hill was mere inci- dent of the campaign, when every body took it for granted last fall that the election of MT. Hill was one of the major issues of the campaign 1t was common gossip at the time that a large fund was raised from among the manufacturing interests to secure that result. That Uncle Jere Dono- van took the gossip seriously is shown in the hearing now being held. We have no doubt the matter will be satis- factorfly threshed out, but we are re- minded of the regret that we have al- ways, entertained that the provision of the corrupt practices law, which pro- vided for an election court with large discretionary power and was pro- nounced unconstitutional, was not carried to the supreme court. The corrupt forces of the state lost an alert enemy when that decision was rendered; honest people lost a pro- tector.

Conquest of Poland by the Ger mans would increase their strength i'll coal and iron, and, in the same mea- sure, reduce that. of the Allies in those essential materials of war.

 Cotton is said to be fetching thirty cents pound in Germany at present, which Is three times the price a sya- dlcate could have bought it for i'll the United States about tA e time syn dlcates were quietly reaching out for the southern surplus last year.

 Sober finance could not fail to re- gard with uneasiness the recurrent outbreaks of high speculative fever, the symptoms of which have been provided by the booming of the so- called war order stocks.
