THE Postscript CHARGE.


If Senator Henry Cabot Lodges
charge that President Wilson added q
postscript to the "strict accountable
ity" note to Germany did nothing else
it raised quabble from one end
OF the country to the other.
The weakness of the charge of the
Massachusetts senator is made evident
by a later announcement in which he
says that he was informed by another
person who said that another person
said that somebody else did so and so.
Well, that's the way of the world, and
that makes things so hard to stand
even hold water. The Republicans will
believe it because they need stimu-
liant. That class of voters in the coun-
try who didn't know which way they
would vote, but everybody else knew
they would vote Republican-they can
find an excuse. The real suffrage of
tho nation, which we are thankful is
in the majority, does and will not take
any stock in the allegation.
Henry Breckenridge, former secre-
tsry of war, is the figure around which
the charge is builded, and if strong lam
gCage has any effect TO deny and de-
nounce, the ex-office-holder. disposes
Of the matter in strong way when he
says:
amy one who quoted me to Senator
Ledge as represented in your telegram
as quoted, is a scoundrel. No member
OF President Wilson's cabinet ever
threatened him on any subject. The
malice that would seek for partisan
advantage to emasculate the potency of
ones government in vital interna-
tional affair by the mongering of back
stairs gossip is beneath contempt"
1t will be remembered that Brecken-
ridge resigned his post in Washington's
official life when his chief Lindley M.
Garrison, gave his resignation to the
president At the time Breckenridge
said that he considered it duty to fol-
low the procedure of his chief"
If these are the charges and the
issues on which Hughes and the G. o.
P. have based their chance for success
on November 7th, then they are on
worse than sands.

CHINA HAS BITTER POLITICAL
ROW OVER JAP APPOINTMENT

PICKING, Oct. 81 Lieutenant-Gen
eral Aoki's appointment by the Chin
csc government as military adviser
has resulted in bitter political row
Several members of the cabinet and a
large faction in the parliament are
endeayoring to clothe the new adviser
with such power that he will be able to
assign army officers to whatever COM
mand he desires. This efforts is being
stoutly resisted on the ground that it
will make the army an organ for the
advancement of Japanese interest in
China.

SENATOR LODGE
HURTS HIMSELF

(From Savannah Morning News.)
1t is not surprising that Republican
leaders trumped UP such weak and
cheap campaign sensation as the bit OF
fiction they are now telling of post
scrip to the second Lusitania note. Ii
is amazing, however, that it should
have been disseminated by man like
Senator Cabot Lodge, or, at least, by
such a man as the public had fancied
Senator Lodge to be. The Massachu-
etts Senator has held a place of high
esteem in the minds of the American
public. He has been regarded for
many years as a statesman of lofty
ideals, as gentleman and scholar"
of an old and honorable school which
refused to countenance cheapness,
trickery and misrepresentation in poll
itics. 1t is scarcely believable that the
story had its origin in Senator Lodges
mind. 1t is rather to be gathered that
it was taken to him for dissemination
in the hope that his prestige would
give it weight.
Abe charge that President Wilson
sought to add a postscript saying that
the phrase strict accountability" was
rot to be taken seriously is really re-
Election on the intelligence of the Re-
publican leadership Certainly, the
charge itself was not taken seriously
even before the statement of Secretary
Lane that he was present at every
meeting in which the Lusitania notes
were discussed and that mo postscript
or anything resembling it in any way
was ever brought before u.s."

COBB'S CONTRIBUTION.

The busy little city of Cobb, in Sum-
ter county, has rallied to the Wilson
standards. They have sent a donation
of $33.75 for the Times Recorders fund
for the national campaign. 1t is these
tokens of stability in the interest and
for the good of the party which speaks
strongest. Cobb, this county, this state
and the entire union, has profited by
Wilson's administration-and they de.
liver their thanks in financial support.

LAST SESSION HAD
GOOD RESULTS TOO

The recent session of congress was
not entirely dry haul for prohibition
An appropriation of $4,000 for en-
forcement of the law against selling
to Indians was made, to be spent in
Alaska; the prohibition of the can
teen in soldiers homes was continued
in the appropriation bill, and further
appropriations were made for recrea-
ton centers at army posts, a policy
initiated and developed by the drys
and salary was refused the EXCISE
commissioner whose nomination to
the District of Columbia board had
been turned down because of malad-
ministration.
The most important temperance
IRE was the increase of the appropria-
ton for the prohibition of the liquor
traffic among the Indians, which is a
deserved tribute to the efficient work
of Chief Special officer Henry A. Lar
son.
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
fAr tot Of ho
Against Alcoholism was continued and
increased by $4,000.
Important Measures Pending.
The most important dry measures
pending are the following:
The bill for national prohibition by
constitutional amendment. The vote
on this is made certain by agreement
The bill for prohibition in the Dis
trict of Columbia This is on the cal
endar in the senate.
The Hawaiian prohibition bill, which
has been recommended by house sub
committee
The bills to Intimate liquor adver-
Using from the mails. These are by
Mr. Abercrombie in the house and Mr..
Bankhead in the senate. Neither has
been reported. A bill by Mr.. Randall,
of California prohibits the Transport
tation of such advertising not only into
states having laws against it, but in
all cases. There is strong posi-
bility of passing drastic legislation
along this line, as the lottery tickets
law affords a clear precedent, and the
Sims bill prohibiting transmission of
gambling odds has back of it solic-
tors opinion expressing approval or
such legislation without regard to the
status Of legislation in the states.
