Business Men and Politics.
(New York Commercial.


 Will business men go into politics and give up chasing the almighty dollar? Two very successful busi- ness men, well known in New York, have just retired from trade possessed of ample means, good health and com parative youth. Both came in con- tact with the masses and won their success by their knowledge of human nature. Will these two mon, one only forty and the other fifty years Of age, devote the rest of their active lives to the service of their country? They seem to be we'll qualified and noth- ing stands in their way.
 One of the members of the British diplomatic corps at Washington whose duties bring him in contact with busi- ness men and who belongs to an English family prominent in manu- featuring and merchandising gave somewhat cynical explanation of the difference between the attitude of the English business men toward pub lie life and that of the American similarly placed. He was not talk ing for publication, so his name can not be used. According to his idea the English business man in enter ing politics has a chance to improve his social position and win a knight hood or perhaps a seat in the house of lords. His wife and daughter in- variabIy urge him to serve his coun- try in parliament because the social side. including presentation at court. appeals to them. When a man has acquired all the money he needs he still has fresh worlds to conquer in the United Kingdom, where interest in politics and generous subscriptions to the campaign fund often win a peer age for one who carrot be elected to the lower house.
 Tn the United States the wealthy business man has nothing to strive for except more money, says this cynical observer. His female relatives do not spur him on to enter politics. On the contrary, they generally try to keep him out of politics, because they fear the kind of publicity the opposition newspapers will give them as well as him. If he has q chance to serve his country as ambassador to the court of St. James or in any other European capital that is another mat ter. His wife and daughters never stand in his way then. They sec the path of duty more clearly than he ever does-but he generally follows it, if it is open to him, whenever it leads to the foot of a throne or to that dear Paris.
 Our English observer Of American manners and methods confesses that he was tainted with radicalism before he came to Washington. A few years residence in this land of the free has cased him to sec certain usefulness in titles as stimulants to patriotism and service of the country that never struck him while at home. He has married an American woman. which may explain his loss of all distaste for title. His views may be super ficial. but they are honest and they. have not been pressed upon the at tention of the American public.
 We cannot offer knighthocds and peerages in that way. Our business

Tho Prophcticals Of Mir. Mann.
 (New York sum-

(New York sum-
 The Hon. James R. Mann of Chicago and the house of representatives, himself one of the honorary or also mentiontd" candidates for the republican nomination for president in 1916, is a very able cit izen and member of congress, but perhaps he is letting his propheticals run away with his intellectuals when he asserts cocksuredly:
 II don't know who is going to be the next president. but know he Is going to be republican"
 Nothing but uncertainty is certain Tn the politics of these United States. Granting or assuming that the rift between the regulars and the pro- gressives exists or will soon exist no more. and that a candidate satisfac- tory to both wings can be picked, yet the prospect may be less tinged with roses and raptures than the immortal rather of the blackmail act secs it or Sees it for publication.
 l. If good times are on the way, if MT. Wilson's administration is no longer associated with lean kline and unemployment, if the paths of the nation are dropping fatness in 1916, II prosperity has come without wait Ing to be conducted personally by the republican party, the need of it. as special providence against demo- cratic incompetency may look consid- erably less evident to the voters. /. Right here in this state. with its DIE sheaf of electoral voters to be grasped by the strongest and sure to nO0OdV fhn swlz A. been counted, what sort of an experi- ment station and proving ground of the superior fitness of republican rule is being made? What is Albany doing to bring the republicans back to the seats of power in Washington?
 3. Whatever the weaknesses, the sentimentalities of policy tho irri- tating optimism and the sociological divagations of Mir Wilson. ii, in his efforts to maintain an attitude of cor rect neutrality and at the same ti'-'" to assert the rights of the Un. - States during a time of exceeding delicacy or international relations, he has been visited with the fanatical condemnation, and Is threatened with the political vengeance, of masses Of the hybird whose first allegiance is to the Empire of kulture. may there not be among Americans n reaction of sympathy and support for a presi- dent marked out for punishment by the passionate adherents of foreign power?
 It is conceivable that even Mir. Bryan may yet be rehablitated and cease to be comic if the hopeless aliens among us keep on.
 Tn short. dangerous allies may await the republicans, how dangerous the Chicago democrats found out last week.

(Elnora Ond) Dispatch to Cleveland
 Plain Dealer)

(Elnora UndD Dispatch to Cleveland Plain Dealer) One man is filled with bullets, the town jail has been torn down, a pop ular prisoner has been released and Sheriff Harmon, of Daviess county, has received nightly urgent appeal to "come over and help us'-all be- cause of an April fool joke that kicked two ways and hasn't yet stopped kicking.
 To begin at the beginning: Gray Farris. an ambitious young man, played an April fool joke on one Matt Cox, who happens tn he town marshal. The joke must have been a stingcr. for Matt Cox, acting in his capacity of town marshal didn't do a thing but place young MT. Farris in jail.
 Now it so happens that young Mir Farris, in addition to having keen sense of humor of the April I variety, is the posScssor of an uncle. He's Clifford Farris and answers to the title of trustee of IIlnora townshop. MT. Clifford Farris went before Justice Laughlin and offered bond for his nephew's release from durance vile.
