THE LUsrrAHlA TRAGEDY.

Whether the sinking of the Lusitania
with hundreds of non-combatants was
or was not legitimate act Of war, it
will bring discredit upon the German
cause in the minds Of neutral peoples.
Destruction of the Lusitania without
warning, without giving its passengers
a chance for their lives, shows that Ger
many will stop at nothing in the ruth
less scheme Of warfare which she is
pursuing. Blame attaches to the Lusi-
tania owners for carrying munitions of
war on a passenger vessel, but this
will not absolye Germany from an in
dictment of wholesale slaughter.
Assuming that Germany is techni-
cally in the right-that her submarine
blockade of the British isles may be
regarded as genuine and effective
blockade and the Lusitania as an armed
and hostile ship-this sea hOrror is new
ertheless the fruit of mistaken policy
if she still seeks the friendship of the
United States. 1t has undone in day
the patient and effective work of weeks
on the part of the German press bu-
reau. The following statement by
Theodore Roosevelt, which we could
wish might have been written in calm
er vein, viii undoubtedly set many
minds afame:

tablishcd no effective blockade of the

and not a few of them have been ac-
companied by murder on an extended
scale. In the case Of the Lugitania the
scale was so vast that the murder be-
came wholesale.

Mr. Taft Naturally ANNOYED.


Secretary Garrison's assertion that
Mr. Tafts criticism of the Philippine
government was mendaciously and
mischievously partisan may have been
too violent. In this matter the former
president is not necessarily a partisan
He sees a lot of office-holders. all good
Republicans. out of jobs which now
are held by Filipinos, and he grieves
as might father for his children.
Instead of calling this partisanship
we should say it was affection and
philanthropy AS the chief represen-
,tative of the Republican patriarchate,
it is perfectly natural for Mr.. Taft
to mourn the lost tribes in the Philip
pines, and not only eulogize them but
say some unkind things of the Philis-
tines who have seized their Offices
Nobody is better qualified to pro-
nounce these carpet-baggers absolute
ly indispensable than Mr.. Taft him
SELF for he appointed most OF them in
the first place. 1t is surprising that
MIR Garrison cannot distinguish the
difference between parental and polit-
ical anxieties.

PARTY IN QUANDARY
Republicans Vainly Seek Demo-
cratic Weak Point.
viii Find II Hard indeed to institute
In Congress Selfish or vexstious
Partisan Policy, for Good
Reasons.

There need be no doubt that the Re-
publicans in congress are inclined to
make all the trouble they can this
winter. A mighty spirit Of mischief
is upon them. How will it work out?
They want to preach calamity. but
the wonderful prosperity Of the coun-
try forbids. They would like to assail
the presidents foreign policy. but they
do not dare array themselves on the
side of the pro-Germans who are do
ing the same. They are tempted to
grumble because we did not go to war
over Belgium and the Lusitania. but
are reluctant thus to enter the pro-
British camp.
They are not at all cordial in their
support of plans for national defense,
and yet with all their carping they
will hardly assume responsibility for
the defeat of these measures. They
are heart and soul in favor of an old
fashioned Mark Hanna tariff. but the
condition of foreign commerce does
not admit of it and they are still in
terror of the Progressiyes.
Whichever way they turn in pursuit
of selfish or vexatious partisan poll
cies they find the roads barricaded
with danger-signals flying right and
left In a single direction is there
an open thoroughfare, and that is the
one which the administration is pur-
suing as the champion of national
honor, peace and security. 1t is going
to be easy for Republicans this win
| ter to be patriotic, helpful and decent.
| II is going to be not only difficult but
ruinous for them to be anything else.
We have liking for the Republican
party with all its faults, and we should
| grieve to see it wrecked by the false
notion that a minority must in all
cases antagonize and bedevil the gov
| eminent This is time when Ameri-
canism transcends all partyism. and

! preciate the fact The paramount duty
of the Republican party is to resolve
that individually and collectively its
