recognized in this country but because Berlin will
insist upon interpreting such action as weak
submission to the demand of its press that our
representative, who is also the representative Of
Great Britain, be Withdrawn because he did his
duty in seeking to prevent the bloodthirsty deed
that shocked civilization. and afterward told the
truth about the cowardly circunvention of his eff
forts. No American will insult the administration
by imputirg to it any such motive and the hope is
that Minister Whitlock may speedily be restored
to health and to his post in Belgium, that the
world may know his country honors him for his
service to oppressed and outraged humanity and
reposes in him its full confidence.

Not Yielding to Clamor.

The announcement that the granting OF leave
of absence to the United States Minister to Bel
GUM. Mr.. Brand Whtlock, is in no way connected
with the clamor of the German press for his re-
call because of his activities in behalf of the nurse
Edith Caver, and the nature of his report on her
murder should be accepted at its full value. Sus-
picion that the Washington government has taken
advantage of an easy opportunity to yield to the
insolent demands of the Berlin newspapers with
out appearing to yield. and thus to appease re-
pulsive public sentiment in Germany is unworthy
and without Justification That it should be neces-
sary on account of Minister Whitlock's i'll health
to call him home at this time is unfortunate, not
because of any danger that the truth will not be

With instructions TO export on plans for

board.
II is understood that preliminary esti-
mates Indicate that the capacity of West
Point can be doubled or increased TO l.20
at a cost Of $50, 900. The Importance OF
this change in West Point is shown by
the personnel OF the board. 1t Is expected
that the report of the board will be ready
to be submitted TO Congress as soon as
il convenes. The Secretary. II he ap-
proves it. will probably send the report
as a supplement to the recommendations
made in his annual report.
That recomme ndations for an increase
in the strength of the cadet corps at
West Point will be received favorably by
Congress Is shown In the interviews
which have been given out by leaders on
both sides Of the Senate and the House.
Speaker Clark was perhaps the first menu
Der Of Congress TO make a suggestion
that the number OF cadets at West Point
should be incrGase In a speech at the
San Francisco Exposition the Speaker
advocated doubling the number of West
Point cadets.
The sentiment expressed at the Busi-
ness Mems Camp shows that the country
is beginning to realize the necessity of
higher trained officers. In making ar
engagements for next years camps bust
ness men are insisting that nothing but
regular army officers with long service
in the army be assigned to the camp.
Recently the War Department has re-
ceived a number of communications from
prominent men who attended the camps
urging that more officers be detailed for
this purpose.
My experience at Plattsburg last
wear" writes a prominent man in pub
lie life, "convinces me that nothing can
be accomplished in training civilians
without the most efficient corps of Of
ficers. II would be a waste Of time for
any one to go to such a camp for a
short time. unless the War Department
furnishes a sufficient number OF regular
army officers. In my opinion il was a

Adams had feared might 20 the trea-
sonabie length OF disunion: II insisted
upon amendments to the federal con-
sttution which would protect minorities
OF states from maJortties
When the war closed a committee of its
members was in Washington to demand
OF the government that the federal taxes
should be divided and the New England
states permitted TO retain those which
their own people paid In order that they
might apply them as they pleased to their
local defenses
The treaty OF peace sent them home
Debated and derided. The Hartford con-
Vention was the end OF the Federalist
party.
But II had none the less been a very
sinister sign OF the times.
II the war had done nothing else how
ever. II had at last made the country
quick with the spirit of nationality. and
factions were discredited.
The war OF the Revolution had needed
war for Independence to supplement
II, as Mr.. Franklin had long ago said.
Until now. notwithsta nding the separa-
ton, English statesmen had deemed the
United States still in no small degree
dependent upon England for their place
and privilege in the world. and America
had virtually in her thought accepted a
position of dependence.
The Federalists had been ashamed OF
no concession or submission to England
when once their greater leaders had
fallen silent
This clumsy. foolhardy. haphazard war
had at any rate broken that temper The
country had regained its self-respect.
The government Of the Union. more
over. was once more organized for ra-
tional action. The party which con-
frpTlad had all civ
the theories which made It conscientious
ly weak and inefficient upon principle
II was ready now upon occasion to
raise armies. impose direct taxes. avail
itself of the services Of banks, and
serve the country by means which should
hold the nation united and self-centered
against the world.

the sinister influences of politics at

The Suffrage Vote.

Pennsylvania was generally expected to be
the least favorable to woman's suffrage of the
four States which voted on the question this year
Instead of being so Pennsylvania actually polled
larger proportion Of its vote for the enfranchs-
ing amendment than any of the others. In Massa-
chusetts the amendment secured only 50 per cent
of the vote cast for against; in New York it
secured about 40 per cent, and in New Jersey about
AZ per cent while in this State it polled approx
rnately 46 per cent of the total We thus have
good ground to pride ourselves on our superiority
in political Righteousness in this matter-Phila-
delphia Record.

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE.

A chap l knew-he was no fool
Rejoiced that he was thro' with school,
And seemed perplexed because said
If that were true he must be dead.
He did not know that every day
We walk on our appointed way
In joy or woe, in peace or strife,
We're in the splendid School of Life,
And learning fine things by the score
We never even dreamed before,
And what is more, despite our brass,
We're only in the. Infant Class!

Because of emphatic denials from nearly all the

children, as l know we'll in my own boy and girl,

Overlooked by McAdoo.

When Secretary McAdoo remarked at Helena,
Mont, that we have had no real prosperity in this
country in ten years he evidently forgot the great
boom of 1907, when Mr.. Roosevelt stopped the
out of work most of the banks refused to pay
and 100000 freight cars were idle. Those were

Mr.. Bryan says that President Wilson has
given his views the national defense with
clearness and emphasis, those who differ from him
under like obligation to express themselves
with equal ciearness" The country at least has
to be thankful that every other private citizen
who differs with the President does not feel under
the obligation Mr.. Bryan refers to, and which he
has so promptly and joyously discharged
The Washington herald., 1915-11-06

Bryan deserted the President when he thought
he saw the clouds gathering and Mr.. Wilson
refused to hide behind the peace-at-any-price
shield. War did not come, so Bryan is forced to
attempt to make an issue of preparedness for it.
1t is a safe guess that he will try to take the
nomination away from Mr.. Wilson and safer
one that he will fail.

Miss Margaret Wilson is quoted as saying it is
"disgraceful the way majorities vote" And come
