is a grave and growing division Of
sentiment in the party about prohi-
bition.
Still, it would be folly for the re-
publicans to rest their case on dis
content, as widely spread as that
may be. What the voters next year
will want to know is the remedy for
the troubles that exist, attributable,
as the republicans insist, to the
democratic policies shaped and ap-
piled by the administration.
In other words, the republicans
must present a specific plan of ac-
ton and a leader acceptable to both
factions of their party and to the
independents, if they are to turn the
democrats out and step into their
places. Not any old platform nor
any old candidate will answer.
1t is not an unmixed compliment
to say of a leader that he is better
or stronger than his party. Ours is a
government by party, and the leader
should faithfully represent his party.
When installed in office he is under
the obligations imposed by the plat
form upon which he has been elected
not his platform, but his partys.
When he sets that aside after getting
in on it and substitutes platform of
his own, he creates confusion and
sometimes causes wreck. The people
do not take kindly to a one-man in
stead OF party power.
The thing for the republicans to do
next year, therefore. is to nominate
not some man considered stronger
than his party, but man in thor
ough sympathy with the party in its
revived and reunited form, and
pledged to carry out its ideas and
promises. The party should pledge
itself specifically, and its candidate
should accept its pledges in entire
good faith, so as to be ready and
willing in case of election to bring
all the influence OF his office into
play for the redemption of party
promises, and the institution of the
changes decreed at the polls.

John Bunny.

Several years ago word was sent
in dispatches of the death on a great
lake steamer of John Bunny, the ac-
tor, then just becoming widely
known as one of the leading come
dams of the movie" stage Bunny
promptly denounced this report in
the words of Mark Twain as greatly
exaggerated" and from that time on
his fame as the owner of "the fun
niest face in the world spread rapid
ly, until he was in short space per-
haps the most widely recognized per-
son in America. Bunny's face was
truly his fortune, and it is report that
for several years he drew salary
of $1,000 week on account of it. He
was not much of an actor. In fact,
the movie stage contains several
comedians who are much more clever
pantomimists than Bunny, but none
of them has the remarkable combi-
nation of features that in Bunny has
made millions of people laugh.
Bunny's face has gone round the
world. Travelling Americans far
from home have been greeted by it
on film screens and made to feel
less lonely by the familiar counte-
nance. Bunny himself became so
we'll known to the American people
and even to those of other countries,
that when he appeared in person he
was instantly recognized and was
usually given hearty reception. Now
Bunny is dead, this time without ex-
aggeration, and no new movie films
showing his inimitable laughing face
will be produced, though the old
ones will be treasured Bunny's
career is striking illustration of
the fact that motion picture dra-
mates can utilize material that is of
no especial value in other lines, and
give infinite pleasure to the public
without any particular degree of art.

The Kronprinz Interned.

The decision of Capt. Thierfelder
to intern the German cruiser Kron-
prinz Wilhelm at the Norfolk navy
yard came in less time than in the
case of the Eitel Friedrich, whose
commander waited until virtually
the last hour before announcing his
intention. Whether it was the origi-
nal purpose to intern the Kronprinz
will. of course, remain undetermined,
though the suspicion generally pre-
walls that there was at no time in
her case, or in that of the Eitel, a
design to send the ship out to sea,
where she would be Immediately met
by an overwhelming force of allied
war vessels. 1t was doubtless in each
case wise precaution to put the
vessel Immediately in condition to go
to sea, if opportunity offered. No
body could tell at what time the sit
uation might change, and it might
have so shifted abroad or at some
other point of the American coast as
to compel the withdrawal of the
guard from outside of the capes, in
which case the Eitel and the Kron-
prinz might have dashed to sea, to
continue commerce raiding if not to
go directly to German port. Hav-
ing interned, however, the two ships
are now to remain until the end of
the war. No change in the situation
can permit their emergence, although
they are fully prepared for sea duty.

The Straw Hat!

In this aggressive era of inventions
and appliances.
We indulge in innovations which
amount to calm dehances.
Where once the prohibition wave
was spoken of as trivial
We turn to sweetened water as a
beverage convivial.
No more we scan the calendar or
look at chronometer
To regulate our clothes. We now
consider the thermometer.
We do not shout of liberty in long
and lusty platitude;
We let the old straw hat define our
calm and fearless attitude.
When he halls once more the bloom
ing of the wildflower or gera-
mum
He takes his old straw hat and sticks
it squarely on his Uranium.
To fashion he no longer gives his
efforts analytical,
Nor needs the village clown who Of
fers observations critical.
He throws away suspenders, since a
belt is quite reliable,
And turns his neck at ease behind a
collar soft and pliable.
In spite of caps and feathers and in
sigma historical,
That old straw hat of freedom 10 the
emblem allegoricall

Monument Memorial Stones.

The War Departments ruling
against the emplacement of memorial
stones of any but states and foreign
governments in the Washington
Monument is justified by all consid-
erations of propriety. AS Col.
Harts' statement in response to a
request from an important paternity
organization explains, t'e Monu-
ment was perhaps an appropriate
place for the inclusion OF stones from
all sorts of societies while it was be-
ing erected by a private organization.
But when the government took hold
Of the enterprise and completed it
by appropriations of money from the
Treasury it was fitting that this
privilege should be checked The
fact that stones from non-public
sources have been incorporated into
the structure OF the Monument does
not justify departures from the pres
ent rule. They were donated under
the old organization and were placed
by the government on its assump-
ton of the work under an act of
Congress passed in 1888, as an act of
good faith toward those who had
given them. 1t is highly desirable
that all the states should be repre-
scented in the Monument, and it would
be gratifying to have tokens from
all the foreign governments as a
tribute to George Washington. This,
however, cannot be brought about
save through voluntary action.

Three Forms of Prohibition.

Over the din of the war and every
other din is heard the discussion OF
the prohibition issue This year that
issue will enter into number Of
state campaigns. Next year IS TO
witness a determined and widespread
effort to inject it into the national
campaign. Politicians of all parties.
degrees, and shades Of opinion are
concerning themselves about where
they stand, or may be forced to
stand, on the burning proposition Of
the drink evil
The issue today is presented in
three forms: O the county unit
form, (2) the statewide form. and 81
the nationwide form.
Those who accept and advocate the
county unit form stand upon the con-
tention that wherever it has been
tried excellent results for temper
ance have been accomplished. Ken
lucky is cited as a conspicuous illus
tration In the state where the FIN
est table Whistles in the world are
produced in great quantities one
hundred and six out of the one hun
bred and twenty counties are dry.
Not saloon is allowed in any of
them.
But, say the statewiders, this con-
dition is maintained only with the
greatest difficulty. The few wet
counties are rich and powerful, and
the distilling and the brewing inter-
ests operating in and from them are
constantly trying to break down the
dry influences in the dry counties.
The only safety, as the statewiders
see the matter, is in banishing the
whole drink evil from the common
wealth.
In taking this ground the state
widers give the nationwiders their
argument. If even only few states
remain wet, the nationwiders con-
tend. they will be disposed, and have
it in their power, to injure the tenn
perance cause in neighboring dry
states. They will become breeding
territory for all sorts of schemes for
multiplying dry laws and regulations
elsewhere, and in such way continue
agitation. AS drink is an evil and
the saloon curse-confessed as
much by the county unit men as by
both the statewiders or the nation
widers-why not abolish them alto
gether? Why leave a vestige any
where of what both the home and
the church abhor and are united in
opposing?
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Watterson are
classed as county unit men. Senator
Beckham of Kentucky is for state
wide prohibition. Mr.. Bryan and
Mr. Hobson want the nation to act.
Mr.. Roosevelt will probably take a
stand later, after he has closed his
present starring engagement at
Syracuse
What an unparalleled opportunity
for three-cornered debate, if only
the celebrities could be assembled

Presumably the allies warships that
have been lowering off the capes
since the entrance of the Eitel on
the roth of March will now be with
drawn for other service. The United
States is henceforth charged with
the responsibility of guarding the
two vessels and preventing them
from going to sea. Thus the last of the
German sea raiders passes out of war
service definitely.

THURSDAY. JAN. T. 1915.

We publish in this issue the letter
of our valued friend, Mr. W W
johnson, of Johnsonville, because it
hits the nail square on the head
when he says that times are too
dull to let The County Record stop
coming" In so-considered dull
times the demand for news is more
desired than usual. When there is
news from every one to be had on
the street corners, when volunteer
news-gatherers literally button hole
you to tell you the 'latest,' the
commodity seems almost drug
on the market; but in these perilous
times, when news" is really scarce
and high-priced, like other neces-
saries of life, it cost more time,
labor and money to gather it and
get it in readable form. Therefore,
we think as our friend very aptly
says, that if one cannot afford to
do without the paper when news is
plentiful, he surely can i'll afford to
do so when news is scarce. SO let
the paper come on is good policy.
