KEEP STEP

What's the use OF living IL you don't

use of dressing If you don't keep step
with fashion? NO use at ALL" said the
well-dressed fellow on F street. Look
at that boy-he looks like an old-time
picture, and nc would be a right good
looking sport II he was dressed with
taste and in. clothes of the. prevailing
fashion. l tell you a fellows got no
right to look like that. He ought to have
some respect for his friends and for his
town-if not for himself. The little it
costs nowadays for smart up-to-the-min-
ute tsilored-to-measure clothes makes It
possible for any youngster-even with a
small salary--to wear good clothes. Why

LABOR BODY'S ATTACK

Grant Hamilton, OF the executive COM
mtttee Of the American Federation of
Labor. in addressing the Federal EN-
ployes' Union, No. 1882, at National Rifles
Armory last night, declared that the
American Federation of Labor had no
apologies to make for the stand which It
took in denouncing the carmen of the
Washington and Old Dominion road for
going on a second strike last Friday
while arbitration was in progress. The
federation, he said, cannot afford to

THE IDEA, NOT THE MAN.

That man is indeed to be pitied
who has no friends to speak for nm
when he is attacked or criticised.
Whenever one human being becomes
SO universally exccratcd as to nave
no defenders whatever. he would be
better off If he could get off the
earth and be forgotten. Yet We
doubt il any such man ever existed.
Even the life convict in the Meal
ester penitentiary found a true friend
in the girl who followed him from
st. Louis and left no stone unturncd
until she got permission of the gov
ernor to marry her prisoner-lover.
Which is brought TO mind by the
case of Tom Taggart, recently ap-
pointed United States senator for In
diana. The very name of Taggart
has for years been one to remind us
of the most despicable and unprin-
cipled political methods and the
protest that went up at his elevation
to a position of honor and trust was
well nigh universal Yet here comes
John II. Stoll, the able and sensible
editor of Editorial. with rcbuke to
Mr. Taggart's critics. He says: The
attachment OF Indiana Democrats To
Senator Taggart is founded upon
genuine regard for sterling worth
and unalloyed merit. This goes
much deeper than devotion to a
mere political boss
We are genuinely glad that there
in the new senator AS Mr. Stoll un-
doubtedly knows what he is talking
about, and as his good judgment is
unquestionable, we are constrained
TO apologize for the mean things we
have said as far as they may apply
to Tom Taggart, the man. but as far
as they relate to Tom Taggart. the
personification OF an idea, we have
nothing to rctract After all, II is
not the man Taggart who is on trial
before the American public but the
idea which he represents, or is pop
ularly supposed to represent. The
World is willing to concede that Mr.
TaEgart as a private individual is all
that Mr Stoll claims for him. yet II
cannot believe that the moral effect
on the political conscience OF the ma
ton of the elevation to senatorial
dignity Of "A representative OF the
old spoils system in its most agra
waited form can be anything else but
harmful, and matter for genuine
regret.

that are not an unmixed good. The
sovereignty OF the states is one OF
these, and while 1t is hard to find
anyone who will come out and say
that this principle should be abol-
ished and give way to a strong CEN
tral government, yet we are contin-
ually reminded that the principle
sometimes stands directly in the way
OF getting any kind of legislation
that will be effective in correcting
evils Of national import. 1t is all
very well to say that certain things
should be regulated by the states,
but tho states do not all regulate
nor are their attempts to regulate
characterized by any uniformity. The
consequence Is that we must bear
with some things because the states
will not handle them and the federal
government can not. AS case in
point, "A man may be legally married
in one state, yet If he should cross
the line in some other state he might
be liable to arrest and prosecution
for adultery. Talk as we may about
the wisdom of our forefathers. they
could not provide against all the
problems arising from the changed
conditions of life since the date of

wholesale disregard for constitutional

is, without giving them a free hand.
In spite of all the inconvenience
that that instrument imposes upon
us, we are fortunate in being unable
to change II readily or hastily. 1t is
the great safeguard of our national
life, and the very difficulty of chang
ing it constitutes the balance wheel
that keeps us from ill-advised eX-
'periments. We shall from time to
time outgrow some of its provisions
and shall, as in the past, find it nee
essary to add amendments; but this
process is risky at best and it pays
to make haste slowly 1t is better to
struggle along with what troubles we
have than to invite a flood of evils
by cutting loose from our national
moorings and venturing upon an un-
known sea of theoretical experiment

The Voice of Old Erin

Editor World Dear Sir:-By what
right do you conclude that the Irish
rebellion was undoubtedly en-
gineered by German agents?' Have
YOU any confidential advices or infor-
nation of any kind on the subject ox-
cept what comes to you through the
British censor? If so please state for
the information of the public before
condemning ish-Americans for their
activity in favor of Irish freedom.
I'VE serve neither king nor kaiser,
but only Ireland" was the motto of
the insurgents emblazoned in large
letters on their headquarters in Ire
land, that all who can might read" ."
And the same declaration is the posi-
ton of the friends of Irish freedom in
America.
And why have not Americans a
right To sympathize with any people
who strive TO shake off the foreign
yoke? Have we so far forgotten that
this land is the birthplace of freedom
and become so AngliciZed as to have
adopted the creed of Imperialism
You need not fear that the Irish
American will "besmirch their Amer
lean citizenship" They have proved
their loyalty to the stars and stripes
on every American battlefield from
the day of the revolution down to the
very hour of the Mexican expedition.
Rather should you fear widespread
British propaganda which would seek
to make America a partner in the am
bition of the British empire--a pro-
paganda which does not hesitate to
falsify and color news reports which
may come into their hands as the
censor of the international cable.
The Tories of 1875 denounced
Washington and Patrick Henry. |

cause, to believe that YOU Will be de-
ceived by the Tories of today who
would dcrouuce those IN ireland and
America who ara Suiity of no more

lean revolution.
The Irish rising may have failed
and it may have not. But though
England has been trying for 700
years to crush the Irish national spirit
behind the revolt, it is just as far
from the goal as ever.

and that as n free and Independent
nation they should have fun power to

liances establish commerce and do all
other acts and things which inde-
pendent states may of right do and
perform.

THE TRANSITION POINT

Bishop Quayle of the Methodist
church has caused considerable com
ment by his remarkable funeral ora
ton over the body of his friend,
Bishop Luccock of Montana The pc
culiarity about this discourse was that
the bishop, instead of following the
custom of seeking mainly To con-
sole the bcreaved family and friends
for the loss Of the decoased's pres
ence from among men. made the
dominant note one of triumph and
congratulation. He urged his hear
crs to rejoice because of the passing
of a good man to his reward. in
stead of dwelling on the tragedy of
death and the sorrow of those left
behind. And when we get right
down To first principles, the bishop
was right. 1t is the greatest incon-
sistcncy in the world for man who

began and got their impetus in the

Assyria and Rome. Later these peo-
