an honor deserved by Mr.. Highland:

bership in the national committee
carries with 1t a grave RESPONSE pill
ity. It's holder is not only vested
with q large amount of power. buI
he is given a trust that unusual
ability is required to carry out. a
member of the national committee
must be a big man.
No one acquainted with Mr.. High
land will doubt that he measures up
to specifications Not only has nc
been an active worker for the Repu6-
lican party since young manhood.
but he is one Of the states foremost
business men. He has made 9 place
for himself in the city of Clarksburg
that cannot be denied. Hests tdentt-
fed with many moves of progress.
and is known as business man OF
the modern type.
It was well that successor should
be chosen for William Seymour Ed
wards. because of that gentleman's
past proclivities to listen to blandtsh.
ments that worked evil In 1912. y
is eminently fitting that his successor
should be Mr. Highland.

as such are untitled to be admitted
to the circle of civilized Germans
"When peace has been reseored nc
self-respecting German will ever
consent to remain in any room of
which an Englishman is an occupant.
If the German cannot eject the Eng
lishman he will himself leave the
room. We cannot be expected to
breathe the same polluted air as our
'deadliest foes who fell upon us from
the rear and in the dark.
"There can be no compromise on
this point. We have to swear Il na-
tional vendetta against the English
never to rest, never to cease our
preparation for another war, never to
spare an effort until the last semb-
lance of English power is destroyed
for all time"
The professor spoke in similar
terms concerning the French and
Russians.
Such language is harsh and un-
necessary. But we must not suppose
that this race hatred has not been
shown before. Horatio Nelson, Eng
lands greatest admiral, had an in
born hatred of the French, and he
never was more pleased than when
given opportunities to slaughter
them. The moral of the parable of
the Good Samaritan has yet to be
learned.

Federal league, theAmerican Associa-
ton and International leagues are to,
be raised to the level with the Ameri-
can and National leagues.
That is to be done by cutting off
the draft privileges which the tWoE
majors have held over the big minors. i
The majors we're allowed to take one
man from each Of the clubs IN thed
two minor circuits. That did not an
peal particularly to the owners Of the
minor clubs and they haEebeen seek
ing for some time to have this rule
rescinded
When the Federal came along and
began to stir things up there was
slight unrest among the minors. To
hold them in line they viii be relieved
of the draft handicap.
President McGilI Of the Indianap-
oils club is responsible for the state
ment and President ChiYington Of the
American Association confirmed the
report. Garry Hermann, chairman
Of the national commission, declared,
in reply, there was no intention Of re-
moving the draft at this time. But
McGil and ChiVington must know
what they are talking about, as rep
resentatiVes of the International
league made similar announcement
in the east.
It is not likely that the two big MINI
ors will be given the privilege. now
held by the majors, Of drafting from
smaller leagues. They viii be merely
