NO CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Republican Party Completely at
a Loss.
Two Efforts to Sound a Keynote Have
Been ConsplcuousIy Unsuccessful
Appeal for Offices Seems to
Be All That Is Left.

The st. Louis Republic wonders
upon what issue the Republicans will
appeal to the country this year.
That is a puzzle at this stage of the
game. The truth is, the Republicans
are waiting in the hope that events
will create an issue.
Never in the history of the country
was a party so at sea with respect to
a campaign issue as the Republicans
are now.
They can't plead hard times, be-:
cause the country is prosperous.
They can't attack the federal reserve
system. Their own congressman sup
ported 1t. They can't plead a tariff
law that smashed industry, for indus
try is reveling in prosperity. They
can't plead military unpreparedness,
for they turned the country over to
the Democratic party in a state of de-
plorable unpreparedness, and the Dem
ocratic administration is repairing
their neglect.
AS for the European war, they can't
plead that the administration has been
reckless, for it has kept the country
at peace; o can they plead that it
has been unmindful of the national
honor, for it has been dealing with
European controversies in a sane, dig
nified way that promises full recogni-
ton of all our rights without resort to
bloodshed.
If the Mexican question has been a
source of anxiety and dissatisfaction,
the Republicans are at least as much
responsible as the Democrats are.
Mr.. Root tried to sound a keynote in
New York, but he offended the Ger
man-American Republicans throughout
The country; the Kansas convention
attempted to sound a keynote, but
they displeased the large number of
Republicans who are opposed to ma
tional prohibition.
There seems no possible way to
adopt a platform that will not alien
ate multiplied thousands of former Re-
tpublicans.
The truth of the matter is, the Re-
publicans may as we'll declare: I'VE
point with pride to our patriotic wili-
ingness to serve the people, an0 view
with alarm the increasing number of
offices that are held by Democrats"
The only issue upon which they can
agree is the offices.-Houston Post.

Where the Colonel Stands.

Our neighbor the Sun is manifest
ing a good deal of impertinent curl
osity to know if the colonel would re
gard wal with Mexico as "a just war;
or war with Germany as "a just war"
There is a uniform rule which the Sun
can apply for itself if it is so minded.
Any war in which the colonel involved
the country would be "a Just war"
Any war in which the country became
involved without the active assistance
and encouragement of the colonel
would be an unjust war.-New York

Foolish Criticism.

The administrations critics have
found an opportunity to ascail the
president because there is only a sin
gle-track railroad to bring up the sup

arranged to have Villa accessible from

Unsavory Phrase.

because Of. Mere mention Of "OId

FIGHTING AT vERDUN
Belief That Germany is Reaching End
: Of Her Resources

London, May 15-The German staff
boasts that their 25 divisions before
verdun have been opposed by 81 OF
the French. Of course, there have
been 80 divisions of Germans fight
ing at Verdun. But for 25 or even 81
German divisions to attack an IN
trenched enemy who has double that
number of divisions at his command
is not an act of sanity, and we are
sure that the only reason Gen. Won
Falkenhayn has not piled on more
troops is that he has no more to pile
on.
He, has called to Verdun the one
and only German division in reserve
at his disposal on the whole eastern
front, and has also probably brought
I'D a few divisions from Serbia to try
to make good. He can do no more
without weakening the armies hold
ing the rest of the line unless he
has fresh formations in the interior
OF. Germany, and it is certain that no
such formations have yet been at
the front.
Naturally, the moving spectacle
the gallantry of the French at Yer
dun and the much less moving spec
tacle of the passivity of Frances al
lies elsewhere has caused much i'm
patience in many quarters and we in
England are not exempt from this
feeling.
We are positively sick OF seeing
the initiative with the Germans and
ask what our great armies in France
are about. But this Impotence should
be curbed.
We can only attack with success
40 strong German divisions, well IN
trenched and provided with formi-
dable obstacles and armament, when
we have the necessary superiority to
make success assured This time is
near at hand.
Meanwhile, assuming that the Ger
man figures for Verdun are correct,
we hold up 40 German divisions and
enable 81 French divisions to exhaust
.25 German divisions.
This suits us all except Germany
very well.

prediction, he replied:

we want it. The Germans are beaten.

LOAD UP WINE CELLARS
Virginia Wine Cellars Will be Stock.
ed Full by Nov. l.

Richmond, May 15.-It seems al
together probable that large blum
der was made in the prohibition leg
islation enacted by the recent Gem
eral Assembly and that, under the
prohibition laws as passed, citizens
in Virginia will possess the legal
right to load up their wine cellars to
capacity at any time antedating Nov
], 1916, when Virginia officially goes
"dry."
Numerous efforts have recently
been made by large liquor houses to
obtain an official opinion from both
the attorney general and from the
State commissioner of prohibition, as
to whether or not the above construc-
ton of the prohibition law was a cor
rect one, but so far both officers APP
piled to for opinion along this line
have studiously declined to furnish
the same.
While the liquor dealers have been
appraised by their attorneys that the
prohibition laws in Virginia cannot
prevent them from accommodating any
amount of intoXicants desired before
Nov. 1, 1916. they nevertheless APP
pear anxious to have letter, either
from the prohibition commissioner,
or from the attorney general, for pos
sible purposes of advertisement. If
they were able to publish to the world
that the prohibition commissioner,
or the attorney general of Virginia,
had given it out as an official opinion
that the liquor laws of the State did
not prevent the stocking of private
homes with liquor before Nov. 1, of |
this year, such advertisement would
be worth not less than S1,000,000 to
the liquor dealers. At least such an /
estimate has been freely made by |
those who ought to know.
