A Democratic Worry.

Democratic politicians are becoming
decidedly panicky because of the SEN
timent favoring Elihu Root as the Re-
publican candidate for President.
They are causing the party organs,
little and big, to regret the ten
dency. They admit the superior in
tellect and honorable career of Mr.
Root, but they find he is too old 10
suit the Democrats. That is certainly
too bad, because even Democrats
should be expected to have as much
respect for President 70 years old as
for one A., if his faculties were as
sound and keen; even more, for Sena-
tor Root has, in his long and active
career, personally witnessed the de-
velopment. handling and outcome of
many national and International in
cidents which might arise to puzzle
a younger President.
But Senator Root and Juctice
Hughes are not the only able. honor
able and experienced men who are
likely to be called TO the service of the
country by the Republican party.
Abundance of material may be emu
merated, scattered from one end OF
the country to the other-men skilled
and experienced in the nations affairs,
men versed in internationa law and
gifted in diplomacy, men not too old,
OF the people we'll ripened efficiency.
New England has one of these, and
not even the most reckless Demo-
cratic organ can honestly criticize his
age. honor or greatness.

Billions for Destruction.

The seventh vote of credit since the
outbreak of the war. bringing up the
total to s6,s1o,0 900, 900, was moved in the
British House of Comons Wednesday
afternoon by Premier Asquith. The
amount asked for today was $l.25o,Ooo,-
900. The growing expenditures for the
war were emphasized by the premier.
He said the average daily cost from
April / to the end of June was s13. $780,
600; from July / to II, s15, 900 900: from
July IS to Sept. II. s17.500,000. Thus
the total for this period in round fig
ures is s25o.ooo,0o0 There has been re-
paid s250,000.000 TO the Bank of Eng
land; s150.O0o,0o0 has been lent to
foreign Governments, and $4,000, 900
lent to the Dominions.
That, in few words, tells of Britain s
outlay Mr.. Asquith added that the
weekly gross expenditure henceforth
would not exceed SIS 900, ooo-s25 900 900
q day.
The world has never attempted to
grasp the meaning of such stupendous
sums: il has had no need of it. Can
we realize its full magnitude now?
The American people have boosted of
their great accomplishment in build
ing the Panama canal at an expendi-
ture of $3.50, 900 900. Yet Great Britain
will henceforth devote that sum to war
murder and destruction of property,
every two weeks. We devoted $50
millions to a splendid world asset. and
were years in its production. England
has expended $50 millions in 10
morths-for what?
What ma snificent works for the good
Of humanity she might have produced
with that vast sum. And she is only
one of the nations that are freely, un-
Questioningly. pouring out their blood
and treasure for destruction. Oh, the
madness and folly of war.
