A Small Hoosier Herd.

At the recent Indiana primary the
bull moosers polled less than eight thou
sand votes-an insignificant number by
comparison with either the republican
or the democratic polling.
In the days of its vigor i'll the
Hoosier state, bull moosery was led by
Mr.. Beveridge, whose relations with Mr..
Roosevelt were then very close. Indeed,
there was a belief. extending beyond
Indiana, but especially strong there,
that Mr.. Beveridge in the campaign of
this year-1916-would be the bull
moose candidate for President.
But that belief soon disappeared. A
revised opinion took its place. This
was that there would be no core to the
bull moose apple. 1t dawned upon the
Beveridge men that bull moosery rep
resented only Rooseveltery; that all
future bull moose maneuvers would con
tinue to be in Mr.. Roosevelt's behalf,
and would cease if, and when, it was
discovered that he could not land
again.
From that time bull moosery began
to decline in Indiana. Mr.. Beveridge,
who when q republican had been very
popular in the state, was still popular
with those he had led out of that party
into the bull moose party; and when
they became convinced that there was
nothing for him in bull moosery in the
way of national leadership great num-
bers lost interest in the movement. He
was nearer to their hearts than Mr.
Roosevelt.
This revised opinion of bull moosery
is the correct opinion. Mr.. Roosevelt's
spear knows no brother. There will be
no iegatee. As much so as in 1912, Mr..
Roosevelt is the whole of bull moosery.
Remove him from the equation, and lit
tie, if anything, remains.
What admirers of Mr.. Beveridge in
Indiana, admirers of Gov. johnson in
California, admirers of Victor Murdoek
in Kansas, admirers of former Senator
Dixon in Montana, have to consider is,
not a matter relating to the advance
ment of the personal fortunes of their
respective leaders, but matter relat-
ing to the fortunes of the country. They
must choose between two parties, and
among men representing the party to
which before 1912 they belonged.
Either the republican or the democratic
candidate for President will be elected
next November If there is bull moose
candidate he will be Mr.. Roosevelt
again, but not even he can win.
Mr.. Beveridge took no part in the
Indiana primary; was not a candidate
for any office, and made no speeches
for anybody. What his course will be
after the two Chicago conventions have
acted has not been indicated.

A School Pay Anomaly.

An amendment TO the law is evidently
necessary 10 prevent such injustices as
that just developed in the case of the
Western High School principal who. re-
ceiving so-cailed promotion from a
leadership TO be temporary head of
the school, actually loses pay, although
the salary of the prineipalship is high
er. In this particular ease had the
teacher remained in the ranks he would
have received 5000 longevity advance,
whereas the designation as acting prin-
eipal. according to Treasury Depart
ment decisions, deprives him of that
advance and leaves him 800 worse off
than if he had not been honored by a
so-callcd promotion. This kink in the
statute should be Strengthened out
promptly. 1t was certainly not the in
tention of Congress, in framing this
Jaw, that teachers who, after long serv-
ice, were rewarded by promotion to
higher positions should be automatical-
" deprived of the longevity reward.
Only by technicality can this ruling
he justified, and it is to be hoped that
at an early opportunity a corrective
enactment will be had that will prevent
the encouragement of aspiration for
promotion to principalships.

German, Advance at Verdun.

Germany's renewed drive against Yer
dun has produced results that. accord
ing to some dispatches, are regarded
with great anxiety in Paris and Lon
don. The fear is now expressed that
the city may be taken. whereas a day or
so ago the utmost confidence was mani

This persistence of the German COM

closing of subscriptions on the first of
april. by which date it is hoped to

sands of lives have been sacrificed.

man hands, would not be as great as it
has been in French possession, save for

Coal and Charity.

Every householder knows how his
coal pile diminished during the first
three weeks in March as a result of the
chill winds that swept over Washing
ton. Many have had to replenish this
supply. which t. most people has been
chiefly an Inconvenience at this sea
son of the year. Has it occurred to
many Washingtonians that the condi-
so rapidly in their cellars affected the
poor just in the same manner! Where
as in one case there was annoyance and
comparatively slight addition to the
coal bill. easily borne, in many other
eases there was acute suffering The
poor buy their coal in small quantities,
which is the most expensive way of lay
ing in supplies, and when the pinch of
weather comes they are the greatest
sufferers. Relatively they are harder
hit than the householder who doubles
his normal supply of fuel.
These facts must be taken into ac-
count by the charitable people of Wash
ington at the present juncture, with an
appeal sounded for additional funds for
the work of the Associated Charities and
the Central Relief Committee. About
$4,000 is necessary to complete the win
ter's work of these organizations in car
ing for the poor of Washington. 1t
will be well for every man who stokes
his own furnace or hires another to do
it for him to regard his dwindling coal
pile as reminder of an obligation he
owes to his less fortunate fellow Wash
ingtonian If he orders a ton of coal
for $7-or more-he should think of the
family that is buying fuel by the peck
or ten pound lot at rate that would
cause him to expostulate against eek
torticn" Let him come to the rescue
of these small quantity fuel buyers and
give the charitable agencies means to
help those who have no funds to keep
themselves in safe comfort during these
last days Of the season.

The Vice Presidency.

The Missouri democracy in state CON
vcntion yesterday indorsed Gov Major
for the vice presidency. and Champ
Clark, speaking here in Washington. add
ell words Of high praise for the man.
Whether the action will prove to be
more than 4 personal compliment re-
mains to be seen,
What connection, it any. this may
have with the change in Indiana con
dltions occasioned by Senator Shively's 5
death is not more than conjecture But
that change has started some very in-
teresting speculation. Until then talk
about new running mate for Mr.. Will
son had excited only languid attention.
Mr.. Marshall. it was generally con-
ceded, stood in the same relation as Mr..
Wilson to second term. Nobody of
fered 4 good reason why. if Mr.. Will
son, Mr.. Marshall also should not be
nominated.
Now, however, when, because Of Mr.
Shively's death. two senator's from Iu-
diana are to be chosen at the coming
election, Mr.. Marshall's name figures in
the equation. His fitness for the sena
torial office picks him out most con
spicuously for the race
Gov. Major is not so vel known to
the country as Senator Lewis, whose
name also is under discussion in CON
nection with the vice presidency.
Normally. Illinois is republican,
Missouri democratic. state Just now
the former shows signs of swinging
back to republican control, while demo
cratic supremacy in Missouri is threat
cncd. An argument used in the appeal
for st. Louis which secured the demo
cratic national convention was that the
honor of entertaining the national de-
moeracy would benefit the local democ-
racy in this years campaign.
This state of case will make the con-
test for the vice presidential nomina-
tion at st. Louis exceedingly animated
if Mr.. Marshall should decide upon
senatorial contest. The question will be
As to saving the day in Illinois and
Missouri. If Mr.. Lewis should be nomi-
mated would that check the rising re-
publican tide and insure Illinois for
the democracy? If Gov. Major should
be nominated. would that keep Mis-
souri, in the democratic column?
Both interesting questions. Mr.. Clark
vouching for his friend and former
pupil, describes Gov. Major as "a bril-
liant campaigner." Mr. Lewis needs no
introduction to the country. He aiso
understands campaigning and for years
has been in request as a stumper in
sections where his party has been most
in need of that kind of service.

Mihiel to the Champagne. This would
involve the surrender of large area
of French territory, but it would not
advantage the invaders materially IN
any subsequent operations. In the more
open country south of Nerdun, if the
French lines remained unbroken, the

with the same physical conditions as Ill
the rougher and more wooded area in
the Verdun region. Attacks would be
no more easy in the valley of the Seine
and the Marine than in the Argonne and
the valley of the Meuse, if as easy.
Verdun stands as a moral objective.
Its capture would be an achievement,
to hearten the Germans in the ranks
and at home. after many months of com
parative inability to move forward in

The renewed Russian activity is ap-
parently timed to bring heavy pressure
upon the German east front at the june

run. The superior transport of the Ger
mans will enable them to concentrate
at the threatened points, but it now
