We have seen politics make fifty
seven varities of fools out of men;
have seen it play hob with their head
and upset their reason. We have seen
political ambition put man on the
waterwagon and keep him there, and
all of that; we have seen it drive So
Der citizen to drink, and bring moral
and physical destruction in its wake.
We have seen fortunes dissipated,
homes blasted, bodies ruined and souls
damned because men worshipped at
its shrine. We have seen otherwise
decent citizens 60 to the dogs on high
speed for an opportunity to serve the
''dear people, we have seen men
give up lucrative private business and
and go broke that posterity might rise
up and call them senator or "jus-
tice of the peace" but from Adam
to Nose Alexander we have never seen
political Um-pah daubbed on in great

bition of political idiocy than was re-
ported recently from Latah county,
whom one Frank L. Moore, county at
torney, had his own home, also that

monkey with spasms Of laughter; draw
smiles from the Egyptian Sphinx;

he think the w. c. T. U. was run

Tammany.

Iammany has decided to move. Ii
is going up town. Fourteenth street
is out OF datc-too far down. New
quarters are TO be secured higher
up" and, 1t is suggested, will be both
sommodious and elegant.
Well, why not. Why, If Tam
many can afford the outlay, should il
not be we'll housed. This is the dav
OF comforts and oonycnicnccs, and
those with the price can live as they
like.
Has Tammany the price? Docs
anybody really believe that because
neither the national, the state nor
the city administration is friendly to
Tammany the organization is poor
and economizing? If so, let that per
son guess again. He does not know
Tarnmany.
The times are probably hard for
the Tammanyites at the bottom. But
they are not the ones who decide the
qustions of quarters, their location
and appointments. Tammanyites a,

flush" They are prosperous men OF
affairs, and figure on not only their
own but the organizations welfare.
And they know, and like, good
things.
It is suggested that this step may
weaken Tammany's hold on the sec
ton where it has hitherto found its
numbers; that the boys down town
may fall away because of feeling
that their leaders are getting too
"toney"
That is to be doubted. The boys"
though remaining down town, will
still be in reach, and still manipula-
bic by those who understand how to
manage them.
Tammany's hope rests in the fact
that such boys" in large numbers are
always to be found in metropolis,
and at the service of those who know
how to approach them and win their
confidence. Has not Tammany long
and repeatedly shown that it possess
es that knowledge and how to apply
it to greater degree than any other
political organization in New York?
Rivals have now and then appeared,
but never tarried great while. They
were unable to bid successfully
against Tammany in its own field.
Tammany, unfortunately, is not for
day. 1t is old and hardy. 1t has
had more ups than downs, but its
lowest downs never rendered it help
less. 1t has survived abuse, defeat
and ingratitude, and one of the worst
records ever made by political or
ganization. Who may say how much
longer it will survive; what it will
attempt in the next House, where its
membership in a close vote will
count; what it will do next year when

Europe on an errand not yet dis
closed. Carbaja1 has been made pro-
visional president and deposed. A
| convention has named Gutierrez
| president, and he in turn has been
driven from power. Carranza has ad-
vanced to Mexico City and with
| drawn, leaving the capital in state
of chaos. Villa has revolted from
| Carranza's standard, and has been
| attacked in the field, and, according
to latest accounts, defeated. Car
rama is at this time apparently the
strongest factor in Mexico, but there
is no assurance that he will be able
to organize the Mexican government
on a basis OF stability and security
for the lives and property of aliens
temporarily in residence there. Ia
pata remains a potential menace to
any organized administration that
may be established.
The country is rent with warfare
and suffering prevails through the
greater part of the republic. The
United States is unable to move in
the premises without definite aban-
donment of its policy of strict neu-
trality between the factions and the
assumption Of heavy burden of re-
sponsibility for the future of Mexico.
What the next year may develop for
our unhappy neighbor no man can
foretell. A movement is on foot,
fostered by MeAicans of vari-
Gus factiona1 affiliations now
in the United States, to effect an
agreement by the contending elc-
ments upon a conservative leader,
who will receive the united support
of all the forces in arms pending
elections and the establishment of
government by orderly processes, but
there is no present way to determine
the likelihood of success in this en-
deavor, regarding which there is nat
urally much skepticism in view of the
failure of compromises heretofore.
But that some solution of the prob
lem, putting an end to the turmoil
that has ravaged Mexico for the
past four years. may be found is the
earnest hope of the American peo-
pie, whose last wish is to participate
directly in the settlement Of Mexican
affairs.

The President on Neutrality.

President Wilson has defined
American neutrality, in his speech
yesterday at the Associated Press
luncheon in New York, in terms that
will meet the warm Endorsement OF
the people OF this country. The
basis of neutrality, he declared, is not
indifference or self-interest, but is
sympathy for mankind. Neutrality is
fairness, good will and impartiality
of spirit and judgment. Such def
milton places our present attitude
toward the war upon the highest
plane and it is unquestionably in that
spirit that the American people are
in the present great world crisis
bearing themselves toward the COM
batants. Our whole duty, says the
President, is summed up in Amer
lea first" for we must think of
America before we think OF Europe
in order that America may be Eu-
ropes friend when the day of tested
friendship comes.
Apart. however, from any bearing
upon the war itself, it is our duty as
a people to remain neutral in this
conflict. the greatest in history. We
owe duty to ourselves to remain
aloof from a struggle that is costing
all the participants shockingly. and
that is infiicting wounds that may
never heal Those Americans who
vociferate against our government
for its present attitude of strict neu-
trality, consistently maintained from
the outset, forget this duty, but for
tunately their activities have not af-
fected the situation, and the Presi-
dents implied rebuke to them for
their vocal partisanship will be gen
orally applauded as bespeaking the
true Americanism that is the spirit
of the address.
Mr.. Wilson's speech was careful
restatement of his general position
with regard to the war, which the
people have already approved and
which they will be the more inclined
than ever to approve after reading
OF his words.

America in 2O15.

Evidently Mr.. Bryan's objection to
Rear Admiral Peary's recent deliver
ance on the subject Of territorial ex-
pansion for the United States is
founded principally on two things !:
G) The European war has given an
impetus to map-making, which, how
ever, should not spread to this hemi-
sphere; and (2) because OF the emf
nent source OF the views expressed
they may be construed abroad as
representing more than an individual
judgment.
What may take place in the coming
hundred years in the way OF estab-
fishing new territorial lines by the
United States is a large and alluring
theme, and may best be appreciated
by considering what of that char
acter has taken place in the past hun
dred years. The fathers were men
of vision, and it was a wide and wise
vision, but it did not, because it could
not, embrace this country and its
power as they exist today. Before
the era of railroads and the tele-
graph, the acquisition of the Louis
lana territory looked to many of the
ablest of our public men as some
thing worse than folly. Can we now
conceive of the country, its purposes
and its obligations, without that ter
ritory1 And be it remembered, it
was not acquired by war. Mr.. JEFF
ferson's greatest service to his coun-
try was performed in that matter.
When commercial and agricultural
reciprocity with Canada was before
the House several years ago, Mr..
Clark of Missouri suggested that
Canada might one day be under the
Stars and Stripes. The subject was
not new; and while the introduction
of it at that time caused comment,
it provoked no ill-feeling between
the two countries 1t did not explain
the rejection by Canada of the reci-
procity treaty.

who differs with the President on the
subject OF the latter's policy as to
Mexico, wrote at length and with
considerable fire under the adjur alton,
On to Panama." The argument was
the disturbed state of Mexico, the
importance Of the isthmian canal, and
the necessity OF American influence
between the Rio Grandc and the
great waterway. Much comment was
provoked, as is usual when Mr.. Wat
terson takes pen in hand, but no
bad feeling was aroused anywhere.
Admiral Peary was not on new
ground when he spoke about a great
or America, and did not essay to
speak for anybody but himself. 1t
appears, indeed, that he said practi-
caliy the same thing twelve years
ago in public address in London
and his remarks were not resented
there or at home. At that time there
was neither war in Europe nor a
canal through Panama, but both
were often the subjects of prediction.
A century is long time, even in
world where time flies. Who may
say that the United States will not
have grown beyond its present size

A Year Ago at Vera Cruz.

A year ago today American troops
entered the city of Vera Cruz and
made an attack upon the Mexican
forces there in pursuance of the pol
ity of exacting recompense for the
affront suffered by the American peo-
pie and the disrespect shown to the
flag by officers of the Huerta gov
eminent. Since that time little ha.
been accomplished toward the restor-
alton of order in Mexico, although
many lives have been lost and the
situation has shifted and changed re.
peatedly. Huerta has fed and has
since turned to this county from

A Scientific Symposium.

The National Academy of Science
is now in annual session in this city,
the gathering comprising some of the
most eminent men of this country
IN various lines of scientific research.
1t is most appropriate that Wash
ington should be the scene of this
meeting, inasmuch as here center
perhaps the most important activities
in the American field. The govern
ment's bureaus are no longer follow
ing in the trail of others in scientific
matters, but in many respects are in
the lead in setting the pace for the
country. In addition to these public
Offices in which eminent specialists
are quietly but effectively working
the Carnegie Institution is doing re-
search work OF most advanced and
far extending character.
The American Academy OF Science
is noted the world over for the prac-
teal nature OF its Investigations
These annual meetings represent the
latest achievements and theoretical
endeavors, all making for the i'm
provement Of conditions Of life, for
the strengthening OF the safeguards
against disease, for more thorough
knowledge of the workings Of natural
laws and for the better utilization OF
materials and forces available to
man. Washington is proud to be the
scene Of such meetings, for which i,
is SO exceptionally well suited in the
quietude of its atmosphere, and the
concentration here of the elements
making for scientific advancement.
