mission of our own harmless diplo-

mission of our own harmless diplo-
 mats.
 But let real crisis come upon the
 world, and see how everything changes. Each in his own tongue.
 The molehill diplomat of Euhope, the
 man intent on seeing that the rival | minister shall not get an invitation to a reception ahead of him, becomes shrewd and ingenious worker in his
 country's cause, becomes a factor in history, and does his work as eff
 ciently as does the field marshal at the front And our business minis ter, miles apart from him in training and ideas, heretofore a mere orna- ment to banquets and sending in per functory reports to the State Depart ment which the State Department perfunctorily files, becomes an engine of business in his own way. :. We are hearing and must expect to hear a great deal of comment to the effect that the war has made mani fest triumph of American diplo- macy There has been no triumph of diplomacy, but there has been a triumph. It has been the triumph of American business sense, of Amer- can charity, of American organiza- tion. The after-dinner speakers have suddenly developed, have given an ex- ample of what an American, trained in American ideas, can do under a strain. The call came unexpectedly and every American diplomat--if dip lomat is the word-responded to it like a soldier. There is no American who should not feel just little big ger for what Lord Bryce had to say about our representative abroad. He singled out Herrick, Gerard. Whitlock and Morgenthau, but only as examp- les. They are, it is true, the most shining examples; but nowhere has our diplomatic service failed to re- spond to the demand, and everywhere has it taken the lead. It is the Amer ican who in every war-stricken capi- tal has assumed charge, has taken command. It is as true in Servia as in Belgium Everywhere the Ameri- can business man, disguised as the American diplomat, has given the world an ohiect laccon The Ameri- can diplomat is no diplomat at all. but only the ready and resourceful American face to face with an emer- gency.-Ex.

RESIDENT ASKS FOR FIGURES.

bAn analysis of the Washington dis stch published in yesterdays Pros gctor concerning the Alaska railroad iveals but one feature worthy of no ,e. The rest may be discarded as material and irrelevant to the sub ;t.
 The utterances credited to Secre- y Lane are merely a rehash of his clements before the Congressional ,propriation committee last Janu- y when he appeared before that dy to urge the railroad appropria- n being placed in the Sundry Civil l. He stated at that time that he l not know which of the existing ids the government would buy or if her of the roads would be purchas-
 He could not state which side of ince William sound the road would from and believed it possible that government might build direct m the coast. The report that the yernment has offered the bondhold- of the Alaska Northern $350,000 their road can safely be regarded ! idle talk when it it known that ly $4,OOO,OOO has been expended on 1t road.
 The one feature worth considering #the dispatch is the fact that Presi- slt Wilson has asked for additional "a and figures as to the cost of slstruction, maintenance and opera n of the different routes. His de- Ind for the figures indicates that
 is not permitting himself to be .ded by outside interests in his se- tion of the route for the trank from tidewater to interior Alas The fact that President Wilson is handing actual figures is the best Id of news from a Valdez point of W. Valdez believes that she has .ural advantages not possessed by other town on the coast of Alas
 Valdez bay is an inland body water which could easily be made re impregnable than the famed rdanelles. The topography of the rounding country precludes attack m any source other than from the l. The harbor is the best on the ast of Alaska and has few equals the world. The distance from tide ter through the heavy snow belt to 3 interior is the shortest via Val z. The government has built a Hgon road from Valdez to Fairbanks < cost of hundreds of thousands 6 dollars and this road would be \ important factor in cheap con- @uction of the railroad.
 President Wilson, during his term Eoffice, has not displayed any sign weakness or fear of capital and if pvinced from the figures furnish
 him by the engineering commits n that the trunk line can be built better advantage without purchas-
 any existing road he can be de- tded upon to favor the adoption of . f nolicy He will desire that the ation of the railroad in the right ce should be monument for all e to the wisdom of his admins tion.
 'aldez has nothing to fear from the ision of President Wilson concern
 the railroad if that decision is ed on actual figures of cost of Istruction, maintenance and oper- ,n as compared with other routes.

MOVEMENT FOR STATE

SEN. CLARKE RE-
 ELECTED PRESIDENT
With Senator POmerene of Ohio as His Opponent, Final Vote Stood Clarke 2S, POmerene 23. Choice Made Unanimous.

Washington, Dec. 3-Sen. Clarke of Arkansas was reelected president pro tempore over Senator Pomerene in the Democratic caucus today. The vote stood 29 to B. Senator Pom creme was supported by members who urged that the Arkansas senator should not be reelected because of his revolt against the ship purchase bill at the last session. After the vote was taken Senator Pomerene moved to make the choice of Senator Clarke unanimous and this was done by rising vote.
 While the caucus was harmonious 1t seemed that the victory of the Clarke faction would endanger the adoption of the cloture. The division in the Clarke-Pomeren fight was rath- CT sharply drawn. All the democrats with Clarke in the ship purchase bill fight stood solidly behind him. Sena- tor who addressed the caucus in oppo- sition to Senator Clarke urged that he had deserted the party in leading the vote against the ship purchase mea- sure which had been made a caucus measure.
 Senator Clarke spoke vigorously in reply declaring the bill was not of character to be made party measure and denying the right of the caucus to bind him on such a measure. He said if he found he could not stand with his party on matters in which the party had a right to instruct him he would immediately resign as president pro tempore.
 Republicans will hold their confer ence next Monday morning. Senator be reelected as chairman of the con- ference and minority leader.

Little Rock, Dec. 4.-There are a large number of applications being filed with the Board of Control for the vacancy in the office of Superin- tendent of the State Hospital for Ner- vous Diseases. The members of the Board, however, say that it is need less for any one to apply for the place-this is absolutely one instance in which the office is seeking the man and not the man seeking the office. They are moving slowly, and looking for the right man.

An innocent, unsuspecting city girl was visiting a friend in the country recently, and at dinner, when asked what part of the squirrel she preferr- ed, said she would take piece of the breast. The family was amused and the ripple of smuggled smiles slightly embarrassed the timid girl, but hoping to make amends added "tho' I'd just as soon have the gig gard" This climax bursted the pent up laughter.-Searcy Citizen.
