Shackleton's Finest Achievement.

The world applauds the heroism of Sir
Ernest Shackleton, who, after three
futile efforts to rescue the men of his
antarctic expedition marooned on Ele-
phant Island, has finally succeeded in
reaching them and making his way north
with them to Punta Arenas 1t was not in
shackleton's natdre to desist from this
attempt. He had left them at Elephant
Island with Il promise to return for
them, and it was assured that he would
return if it would be humanity possible
to do so. Of all the polar explorers
Shackleton has gripped the admiration
of the people of all lands the most Sc
eurely. His modesty, his skill, his per-
sistence have marked him as an excep-
tional man in this field Of endeavor. His
men on all the expeditions he has led
have had the utmost faith in him, and
when he left the crew of the Endurance
on Elephant Island last April, to return
with smaller party to the mainland

Futile Zeppelin Raiding

The persistence with which Germany
continues to send fleets Of Zeppelins to
England for the purpose of destroying
property and lives indicates that great
store is set on this method of warfare at
Berlin. Yet unless the British govern
ment is unbelievably mendacious in re-
porting the casualties Of the Zeppelin
raids the results have not justified the
expenditure of ammunition fuel and ef-
fort Undoubtedly several score lives
have been taken in England in the
course of these visitations, but most of
them have been women and children.
Very few men of fighting age have been
slain by the bombs. The property dam
age is not known exactly, and perhaps
has reached a considerable figure, but
most of this damage has been inflicted
upon non military properties, so that the
effect upon the war has been negligible.
The latest Zeppelin raid comprised thir-
teen airships, and it is officially reported
that only two persons were killed and
eleven were hurt, and that the prop
erty damage inflicted was Incidental One
of the Zeppelins was brought to earth, a
total wreck, all of its crew perishing.
London is exultant over this score, for
it is felt that the anti-aircraft equip
ment of the capital is now superior and
that the danger of successful Zeppelin
raiding is greatly lessened. These raids
would seem to be altogether futile, pro-
ducing no effect other than an angering
of the British people. in every case caus-
ing a stimulation of recruiting and a
stiffening of the British determination
to wage conclusive warfare The raid
ing of London from the air is distinctly
a part of the German policy Of "fright-
fulness." which is the basic principle of
its warfare, but to date it has clearly
failed of effect

The St. Louis Platform.

The following paragraph from the
Presidents speech of acceptance will do
good deal of campaign duty between
now and election day:
Il have not spoken explicitly. gentle
wen. Of the platform adopted at st
Loais; Int il has been implicit in all
hat have said. have sought TO in :
'"rpret its spirit and meaning. The peo-
rle of III. United States do not need
70 be assured now that that platform is
3 definite pledge. q practical program
We have proved to them that our prom
ises are made to be kept"
Scrapping party promises after win
ming with them is no new thing. In
faet. il is an old thing. and has occurred
all too often for the credit of our poll
tics. But record of that kind has been
made since March, 1913. In that time
more promises and all of them con
spicuous-haye been scrapped than in
any other three years of our history. If
the vernacuiar is in order, il may be
said that the Baltimore platform of 1912
looks like thirty cents Two planks-
the oneterm plank and the Panama
Canal tolls plank-have been repudiated
outright, while both the tariff and the
supplies for the support of the govern
ment have been dealt with in way di-
rectly contrary to promises made.
But this time the President would have
the voters believe that he and his party
mean business. The st. Louis platform
is not spread of molasses' 1t was
prepared, and will be redeemed, in good
faith
The effect of the assurance will be to
turn attention back to what was prom
ised at st. Louis. How many voters re-
ieall what the platform committee re-
lported and TIE convention adopted when
