A Lesson from the Past

Years ago, before baking pow
ders were so we'll known, the
housewife sometimes made her own
from cream Of tartar and soda.
These materials were then
comparat lively expensive and pro-
cesses of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state Of purity Of the present.
day well known cream Of tartar
baking powders, such as Royal
and yet she never thought Of
buying alum, then as now cheap
and inferior substi tute for cream
Of tartar. She wouldn't think OF
PERM tting an ounce Of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Yet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
wi tn which to make food for their
children.
The statement on the label af-
fixed to every can naming the
ingredients Of which the baking
powder is composed affords a
method Of protection against the
use Of undesirable kinds.

protection OF Venezuela with Great
Britain and other distinguished ac-
Complishments, were performed after
he was IS years of age; we remember
hat John Hay, perhaps as able a sec
rotary Of state as the country ever
had, negotiated and put through the
senate three of the most important
treaties in the diplomatic history OF
this country after he was 20 years old (;
we remember that Richard Olney,

member that Gladstone was prime
minister of the so-callcd greatest en-
pire on earth when he was 80 years
den, at the time when the presidency
was taken from him, was more than
seventy years old; we remember that
John Sherman was secretary of state
when he was 75 years old, and his
record in that high office is not one
which any citizen of the United States
need be ashamed; Thomas r. Bayard
was ambassador to England when he
was over seventy, and so was James

away over seventy years and still in

Scott was over seventy when he COM

Wadsworth Longfellow, Sir Walter
Scott Thomas Carlyle, Francis Bacon.
When you come to think about it,
the list Of the grand old men cannot
be embraced in a single issue of a
newspaper or in one volume of a book.
1t all goes to show the desperate
straits to which the opposition of Root
has been forced to resort in order to
discredit his candidacy On the score
OF ability, on the score of service per-
formed and not merely promises, on
every score, at every angle, from any
standpoint, he stands alone as the
greatest living American and the one

President Wilson made the point in
the late note to Germany that in the
pursuit of war operations acts Of re-
p.isal pure and simple, were con
fcsscdly outside the pale Of iustiiica-
ton. II is also true that such acts
are Improbable to the party COM
milDing them No wars have ever
been decided, no battles won, no great
advantages gained by going to the
extreme of paying back the other
fellow for some outrageous perform
ancc. Its only effect is TO intensity
the auimosity between the bellgcrcnts
and make the injured party more
,mplacabe enemy than before The
idea that military cXpcdiency ever jus
uncs a prontlcss destruction of inof-
Tending people and their property is
mtonable We see our illustration Of
this I'M the air raids reported i'm Eu-

Crty have been sacrificed without a
shadow Of military advantage, but
loth English and Germans, instead Of

ingly bitter hatred toward each other.

MAKING AND BREAKING STATES

The big weckios and the little
wcck'.s. especially those generally
known as "high-brows," for want of
better designation, are all more or
less giving space to a discussion of the
merits Of the various candidates for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion next year IT seems to be gener-
ally taken for granted that there will
be no real opposition to the renom-
.nauon of President Wilson, so the
discussion Of Democratic candidates
would bc a waste Of time.
Golfers Weekly picks Justice
Hughes of the supreme court of the
United states, as the most available
man under the circumstance but
odmits that the formal and reiterated
declaration Of Justice Hughes that he
would not be a candidate under any
circumstances and would not permit
the use of his name before the con-
vention cffcCtually removes him from
the list Of avaiables. Then one by
ono all of those mentioned" is elm
mated till finally the choice falls on
Senator Borah, Of Idaho, who It is
proudly proclaimed has offended
fcither the standpattcrs or the pro-
lrcssivcs and therefore is the most
available n the party is TO be re-
united 1t Is not our purpose at this
time, however, to discuss Senator
Rorahs absolute unayailability but
rather TO call attention to one Of the
most ridiculous arguments which we
have seen for quite a while.
In It's pertunctoy mention of the
natiou-vide demand that Elihu Root
permit the use Of his name, Golfers
mctously dismissos the whole mat
ter with the remark, Hes too old. He
will bee 70 years old when he is sworn
in, should he be elected, and he will
be 76 years old when he goes out OF
office should he live to fill out his
term" 1t does call attention, how
ever. I'm a grudging spirit of fairness,
to the fact that Mr.. Root is at present
the chairman Of the New York state
constitutional convention and that he
is ON the job six days out Of seven,
and that he has never yet missed a
session OF the convention. But It adds
that the excuse Of cid age was urged
ley parusaus Of MIR. Root two years
ago as the reason why he did not run
for recollection.
TO those finicky persons who be
ieye that man who has passed his
forty fifth year has seen his best
days the argument OF age may appeal.
To those unthinking persons who are
always talking or writing about this
being an age Of young men and a
country Of young men. the old age
argument may fan with some weight.
We remember that The isthmian canal
project originated with United States
Senator John r. Morgan, of Alabama,
when he was more than seventy years
OF age. and that his most distinguished
