age of each office Is made the gold
en- opportunity for aiding friends and
hitting enemies. Possibly officials
may consider that such methods OF
handling the purchasing end of their
duties are right because of long GUS
tom, but view in the light of plain
every day ethics such acts are moral
ly wrong There is no other way to
view the matter. Tammany methods
have for years been the common term
for political rottenness and corruption,
and yet all that Tammany did In es-
sence was to reward its friends out OF
the public funds without regard to
price or justice. A great many public
officials in this state have worked UNI
der the same methods and yet would
be insulted if compared with the
slightly cruder efforts which made
New York the by-word of the nation
for so many years. The Times could
with little difficulty make more per-
sonal comment on conditions within
this city and county but would give

THE LITERACY TESTS THIRD
STRIKE"

Three vetoes ought to make an end
of the literaCy test for immigrants,
thinks one editor who notes that,
the example of Mr. Cleveland and Mr..
Taft But the third strike in this par
ticular national game is not neces-
sarily an out" For We note in the
Washington dispatches thaf an at
tempt is being made to get together
votes sufficient to pass the bill over
the Presidential veto, an effort whose
hope of success is based upon the fact
that this bill lacked only one vote of
two-thirds when passed by the House
Of Representatives and that only sew
en- senator's voted against it in the
Upper House. In New York, where
most Of the immigrants land and where
good many of them remain, the news
papers all seem to agree with Presi-
| dent and even such political antagon-
! lists as The Tribune (RepD, The Press
| (Ind. Rep.), and Mr.. Hearsts American
| commend MS action, "A lew sentences
from the Presidents carefully written
message will serve both to show his
own objections to the bill he vetoed
and to indicate the arguments gener
ally used against the literacy test
In setting up such a test, and in de
barring those who have advocated des
truction of property or resistance t.

radically from the traditional ant

OLD HICKORY WILSON

The wave of dissent and hostile crit
icism which greeted the presidents
public address at Indianapolis, and
which has kept up during the three
weeks since the address was uttered,
is surprising. We think the criticism
has been caused more by the manner
of the speech than by its substance.
1t Is true that at one or two points
where he dealt with practical matters,
like the shipping bill and the effect OF
the currency bill, he made assertions
to which bankers and business men
take extreme exception. But, broadly,
it was the manner of expression which
has provoked most of the hostility,
The tone was irritable and irritating.
1t struck an unusual note throughout,
and more or less disturbing to per-
sons familiar with the presidents more
suave utterances. Probably the best
thing to say is that the president has
been working very hard for two years,
and has been under both public and
private strain. So far as the sub
stance of the address goes, the ans
wers to it have been very much more
powerful and convincing. Indeed,
one feels rather sorry for both the
president and the Democratic party
when it must defend some of the
measures and ideas it is standing for
against the logic and oratory of such
men as Senator Borah, Senator Root,
Senator Lodge and Senator Burton,
On the merits the Republicans have
the best of the case In addition, in
the present mood of the people, they
khave overwhelming popular support
on their side Moreover, these four
men are very much more at home i'll

tons of government than any man in
the Democratic party, not excepting
the president himself In the senate
there is practically no Democrat to

The ablest Democratic senator is
John Sharp Williams, and his strength
as an orator and student is expressed
not so much in the field of practical
business questions as in the discus
sion of the fundamental philosophy of
government, Moreover, careful
fstudent of the Congressional Record
picks up a good deal of doubt as to
whether Senator Williams is wholly
sympathetic with some of the unus-
nal economic alterations that his par
Ety is now embarking upon. The az
lest leadership of the Republican par
ty today lies somewhere among the
four senators named, Of the group

EXCESSIVE REFORM

1t is not often that The Times is
progress toward all reform, and in
protesting against some Of the meas
uree aimed at billiard and pool halls,
this paper still is the true exponent
Of any just reform. The past four
years have seen many and marked
improvements along the lines of decen-
cy In the conduct Of all pool and bill
lizard halls in this state. State laws
already in force have put the ban on
places where young boys can congre-
gate to the detriment of their morals.
Cities also have been given the right
to regulate all such places within their
boundaries until it would seem that
regulation is merely question of en-
forcement of existing laws. Certain
establishments frequented by young
men who have no homes have taken
the place of expensive clubs as a place
OF innocent amusement. The rules
governing such places are made by the
cities and Villages with regard to
hours. A drastic nuisance law already
on the statute books allows the closing
OF those which are obnoxious to the
public. The state or county or city
does not need any more laws, which
can only serve as vehicles to carry the
bigotry of the most radical reform
element in the legislature.

Doctor Cornell, the chief medical
inspector of the Philadelphia public
schools, is authority for the statement
that special exercises are being intro
duced into the schools for the purpose
Of Strengthening the shoulders of the
pupils and that the medical and phys
ical departments are now working in
harmony to raise the physical standard
of the pupils. 1t is well known that
improper height of desk and wrong pos
ture contribute to curvature of the
spine, a thing which is said to trouble
% per cent Of the children. Any plan
that will serve to do away with this
condition of affairs should be heartily
welcomed, and it is a good thing to
know that special classes have been
formed for that purpose. The promise
is held out that the curriculum of the
future will not only provide for exer-
else but also for periods of relaxation
after hours of nervous strain, SO that
the sight of backs now bowed and
twisted by fatigue will disappear.

Some men now living can remember
when S100.000,000 was considered a
very large sum, but in recent years we
have become familiar with the billion
mark. A statistician in figuring on the
cost of the European war says that it
is now running at the rate of about
fifteen billion dollars year, and these
figures do not include incidental losses,
such as destruction of property and
arrangement of trade. At this rate it

ties of elementary education have been
denied, without regard to their charac-
ter, their purposes, or their natural

Restrictions like these adopted ear
lier in our history as nation would
very materially have altered the course

SIN this bill it is proposed to turn
away from tests Of character and OF
quality and to impose tests which ex-
clude and restrict; for the new tests
here embodied are not tests of quality
or of character or of personal fitness
but tests of opportunity. Those who
come seeking opportunity are not to
be admitted unless they have already

seek-the opportunity of education

| Now the trouble with this bill, says

WRONG IDEA OF RESPONSIBILITY
There is no question but what the
average public official, whether it he
in school, municipal or county affairs,
goes into that office with the honest
intention of serving the people who
pay. his salary and of giving service to
the whole people irrespective of party
affiliations or demands of party 10y
atty Every man realizes that public
service is a trust which demands ut
most loyalty on his part. But after
a few months in the harness the idea
loses force and other claims for 10y
atty enter into his scheme for exis-
tence. This friend or that supporter
expects fayors in return for favors
given. The pressing need for building
up his fences toward a second term in
office again, clouds his vision to the
duty toward the whole taxpaying pub
lie. The descent is swift and rapit
until underneath a seeming desire fol-
serving the public is the holder schem,
to exploit the office and its patronage
to entirely selfish ends. When tina
time comes tho official is getting read,
for the final jump into oblivion. OF
ficials have no moral right to throw
business to their own particula
friends and business adherents to TIL
exclusion of others who are taxpay
,ers and Justly entitled to business con
sideration. Yet that is the history 0
nearly every community. The patron

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

FIGHTS COMMUNITY BATTLES
The weekly newspaper promotes the
interests of the town in which it is
published to such an extent that it
becomes impossible to place an esti-
mate upon its worth. There is no
enterprise that does so much for the
corporation or the individual citizen
as the paper, 1t stands opposed to
the town knocker, the town kicker,
the town fanatic and the town drones.
1t stands for action as against dry
rot 1t stands for progress as against
stagnation. 1t is ever ready to COM
bat the schemes of Missionaries and as
ready to aid the constructive plans of
the wise and level-headed citizens. 1t
is for the upbuilding of the commun-
ity. The paper has not yet come in
to it's own, however, because it is
never appreciated to the extent of its
worth by the people at large. Yet
when battles are fought for town or
county a rush is made to the newspa-
tor ready, frequently without hope
of reward Many other enterprises
are encouraged by bonus, but rarely
is the newspaper offered any such
help and still more often not given
the support it is entitled to- Com.
munities frequently lose sight of the
real benefactor when they fail to re-
cognize the weekly journal as such.
The editor and his paper stand as the
bulwarks Of defense against the at
tacks of evil or designing schemes
affecting the good of the individual or
the town. For these and other rea-
sons the newspapers of the town and
country should receive the support
of the public at large in a very liberal
degree, for it is really the most inn
portant business enterprise of the

RUSSIANS HIT HARD.
PetrOgrad Claims Extensive Successes
 in Severe Fighting.

London, Oct. 23.-In an effort to- outflank General von BuelOw's army and relieve the pressure on Riga. Russianw arships have bombarded three towns on the Baltic cpRst 0fl the Courland and have landed troops 90 miles northeast of Riga.
 The German official statement i4- sued today describes the forces as small, but it is believed that seri- ous operation is contemplated by the czar's commanders, with the object of forcing the Teutons to give up a great stretch of captured territory.
 On both ends of the battle front. as we'll as on the northern sectors of the center, the Russians are deal- ing out a vigorous offensive against the entrenched Germans and Anstri- ans, and Petrograd tonight claims some rather extensive successes.
 The heaviest fighting is taking place in tie Courland and in Eastern Ga licia, where, north of Tarnapol, the czar's troops are battering von Lin- singen's weakened corps. which were drained to supply men to von Hindell- berg, in the north, and von GalWltz, iii his invasion of Servia. K,
