love of his country that Mr.. Clay
strove so earnestly to compromise
the differences and avert the dan
gers growing out of slavery. So
much depended on a united America.
So much would be lost if for any rea-
son America were torn asunder.
Mr.. Lincoln never doubted that
had Mr.. Clay lived he would have
supported the Union in its great strug-
gle for preservation; and it is most
persuasive appraisement of Mr..
Clay's record. When all compromises
had failed, and the question came up
squarely for union or disunion, the
man who had done so much for
union. upon such large calculations
of good for the world as the result of
American influences, would, as Mr..
Lincoln believed, have thrown his
weight into the scale on the Unions
side.
Pan-Americanism goes back to the
early days, but numbers no advocate
or promoter more practical or illus
trious than Mr.. Clay. He reaped no
personal reward; but the gooG he did
lives after him, and Prof. Moore per-
forms a fine service in recalling it to
public attention at this time.

The Cut German Cable.

Foreign Minister Won Jagow. in an
interview in Berlin, deplores the
stoppage early in the war of cable
communications between Germany
and the United States, which, he
says, has tended to confuse the sit
uation between the two countries and
to render their mutual understanding
difficult. The act of Great Britain in
cutting the cable. he declares, has
made it next to impossible for Ger
many's case to be fully set before the
people of America, and the ill-feeling
toward Germany that has prevailed
here since the outbreak of the strug-
Bile he attributes in great measure
to the lack of information
Herr Won Jagow. of course, knows
that the ill-feeling toward Germany
that has been so marked in the
United States since the war began has
not been due in any measure to the
absence of cable service. There has,
in fact, been no lack of information
about Germany's motives in war
making, about the causes of the war,
or the war moves. Nor has Americas
information about the war come ex-
clusively or mainly from partisan
sources hostile to Germany. The
American public has been freely fed
with pro-German statements about
the war causes and moves, war meth
DDS and policies. from the outset.
Probably Herr Won Jagow knows
more about the measures that have
been taken to keep the American
public fully informed from the Ger
man point of view than do the
American people themselves. He
has doubtless a Perfect understand
ing OF DIR. Dernburg's mission to the
United States, his exact official or
semi-official status. his activities
while here. his resources and his
agencies. Indeed. the German for
eign minister has some reason to
pride himself upon the remarkably
compete O1 SdHILdtlOiI vi Piopo ohud
that has been created and maintained
in this country since the war started,
and while it may be true that the
lack OF direct cable service has rem
dered this work somewhat more diff
ficult and perhaps more expensive, it
cannot be believed that the cutting
OF the cable has in the least degree
elouded American understanding of
Germany's motives and position or in
the slightest respect initiated against
the harmonious relations between
the two countries.
The cutting of the cable was as
suredly not in any sense factor in
the instant American indignation at
the violation of Belgian territory,
nor would the working of cable
have caused Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg's reference to the
scrap of paper" to be more effective
in allaying that resentment And
finally the lack of cable did not
operate harmfully to Gcrmany's in
terests when the Lusitania sank with
her human freight after being struck
by German torpedo.

The Districts Stock Taking.

The fact that municipalities have
not been heretofore run as business
institutions in this country is illus
trated by the fact that just now the
District of Columbia is for the first
time in its existence to take a COM
plete account of stock, to inventory
its possessions, to reckon their value
and record their number. The head
of a business institution must know
in order to be sure of his prosperity
just what he possesses and what it
is worth. Municipal governments,
however, have developed in America
in a casual. haphazard sort of way,
buying when the funds were availa-

ping tools and equipment when pos

loose and unbusinesslike fashion.

The Minnehaha Fire.

The coincidence of fire breaking
out on the steamer Minnehaha. due,
it is believed, to an explosion. at the
very time stated by Frank Holt in
letter to his wife as set for ma
rine disaster attributable to his en-
terprise, is not to be lightly dis
missed as mere chance. The ship
sailed from New York the day after
Holt mentioned as the sailing time
of the vessel he evidently had
planted" with an internal machine.
She had been delayed Unexpectedly
for one day by the difficulties of
loading her. just why Holt did not
know the name of the ship-he men,
toned two others, one of which was
probably that to be destroyed-is not
understood. The suggestion is that
he made the bomb himself, and it
was placed on the vessel by another.
Had he been alone in his enterprise
he would have had the name.
Holt's letter to his wife was pos
sibly bit of bravado, assuming credit
for deed that he did not commit,
but of which perhaps he had knowl-
edge. But Hollis known career, es-
pecially at the close, does not sug-
gest that he was given to empty
boasting. He did things. He went
ahead on a program of destruction
that was obviously not the work of
weakling without nerve to finish
what he had begun. Every ascer-
tanned fact of the mans nature in
dicates that he was quite capable of
planting a destructive machine on
the Minnehaha, personally or by
proxy, and it is assured that he had
the materials for such a crime.
The question still remains open,
Did Holt have accomplices, and who
were they? In what interest were
they working? Holt's suicide ap-
pears increasingly deplorable as
events develop.

Election Frauds and Confessions.

Seven of the men indicted at In
dianapolis on charge of election
frauds have pleaded guilty. They
are among the little fellows, and de-
scribed as election officials and po-
htical workers.
? At Terre Haute some of the little
fellows confessed. and in that way
the prosecution of the others prof
tied.
Too often in the past in other
states where offenses against the bal
lot box have been committed the lit
tie fellows have contested the way
in court. They put UP bluff of in
nocence. only to take their medicine
with composure upon conviction,
"do" the time in prison imposed un-
.complainingly. and emerge to new
opportunities. As they had not

Cheating at the polls is no new
thing in this country. But it has
grown in both size and audacity of
Tate years for several reasons. The
stakes have become larger. A mixed

Harry of the West"

At Frankfort last night John Bas-
sett Moore recalled 10 the members
Of the Kentucky State Bar Associa-
ton the part played by Henry Clay
IN the earlier promotion of pan
Americanism
A very remarkable man was
Harry of the West" We think of
him 100 often and too much as the
alert and aggressive party leader, the
almost matchless campaign orator,
and an American TO the core He
was all that. but more. He was a
man OF the broadcast vision, and of
the most practical ideas. His was a
world sweep He saw America
whole. and her great mission, with a
clear eye and a very stout heart
II was true of Mr.. Clay, as it has
been OF other remarkable men, that
in some things he was ahead OF his
time His country was not able to
travel as fast as he wished and pro-
posed. But in this matter of closer
relations between North and South
America. nothing is on the card to-
day, and nothing of beneficent
character will be accomplished, be-
yond the purposes Mr.. Clay cher
ished and advocated. He figured
America as the leading influence in
the development of the western
hemisphere, and the hemisphere wher
developed as a powerful. If not in
deed the leading, factor in the prog.
ress of the world.

ten many other works, this is the first
time that he has lent his name TO any

radical as it may seem, Mr.. de KOven
is authority for the statement that the
vocal balance and calibcr of the pres

than did the original Bostonians. This
is explained by the fact that in those
days there was certain amount or
catering to the comedians of the or

roles are not neglected, the music is
sung by singers possessing voices
suited to the score. who were carefully
selected from the grand opera houses
