Editorial Comment.
From the Ohio Republican Editorial
Association.

With the Republican party In
Ohio being without a faction and
mere militant than in a decade,
the issues OF the fall campaign
will be drawn upon the record Cf
the present state administration
in behalf of state politics; and
upon the record of the present
Democratic administration at
Washington, nationally.
The administration of Govel-
nor Willis has the O. X. of the
Republicans of Ohio. There is
DO opposition to him beyond tie
petty grievances of a few dis
gruntled politicians Whe were un-
able to force him to recognize
their claims for patronage. These
are comparatively few, consider
ling that he has had only 600 pc
sitions at the disposal of his en-
tire administration and had more
than 10000 applicants for the
Jobs.
But the fight will be made on
the accomplishments of the pr, =
sent state administration. Chief
among these are economy in the
conduction of state affairs. Ev-
cry department has practiced &C.
onomy. Useless jobs have been
abolished. Salaries. where eX-
orbitant, have been cut down.
More work is being done in eve
ry department with less help,
than under the former admins
tration.
Cox promises the re-Pnactment
of the Warnes law. The present
administration promises continu-
ed rule of the people themselves
in taxation ana other matters.
Cox promises the return of what
: he calls progressive" legisla-
ton, which, if he takes in his en-
} tire administration, means the
return of his banking scandal.
The present administration pro-
misses the same honest efforts in
the banking department as are
now in force.
The present administration
promises more good roads, and it
will not attempt to dodge the re-
: sponsibility of paying for them
to the extent of more than two
millions of dollars as the previous
administration did in an effort to
> make better financial showing.
In short, the state campaign
will, this year in Ohio, be a com,
! parison of legislation for the peo-
pie of Ohio as Interpreted by the
present administration with the
"by and with the consent of the
governor" kind which Mr.. Cox
promises to restore if he is sue.

The Eighth Week at Verdun.

The German success at Bethincourt,
west of Nerdun, where the French
salient has been fattened after many
days of hard pounding, is not as com
plete as evidently it was hoped to make
it. The obvious German strategy was
to close the TANKS of the attack SO that
the French defenders of Bethincourt
would be trapped and forced to sur
render in body. This would have
been material victory, seriously dis
heartening to the French and CORE
spondingly encouraging to the Germans.
The maneuver of the French in with
drawing under cover of the night the
entire defense force prevents this and
permits Strengthening of the line in
circumstances which make d resistance
to the continued German onset easier.
| 1t is true that ground is gained by the
Germans in consequence of this with
drawal, and so far as the advance
toward Verdun is concerned the opera
| ton nets an advantage to the assailant
The often recurring question arises
again, whether the advance has been
worth the cost.
| The eighth week of the Verdun attack
is now opening. For seven weeks the
German armies have been driving on
ward, now at this point, again at that
at first making ground quickly, then
more slowly, and during the past three
weeks relatively very slowly indeed
The French have estimated the German
losses at Verdun at 100000, while there
is no estimate of the French losses
though all Paris reports assert that they
have not been anything like as heavy
as those of the assailants. Lately the
German losses have been lighter owing

asserted-that, next to the President.
Col. House is the most influential man
in the democratic party. The President
trusts him implicitly, both because of ad
miration for his common sense and faith
in his unselfshness and sincerity. Col.
House does not want anything for him
self. and has no other object in his ac
tivity than furthering the Presidents
political fortunes.
Of course, in existing circumstances.
a boom for Col. House is out of the
question But even if Mr.. Wilson were
to withdraw, or for some reason he
ruled out of the st. Louis calculation.
who would intlict such worry on a man
unused to worry as would follow the
launching of boom for the colonel?
He is rich. and "strikcrs" would gather
by the score. A thousand schemes for
gathering delegates would be pressed
upon him. Biographies. of wonderful
detail and color-in none of which
would he be able to recognize himself
would be prepared for his approval and
the depletion of his purse. In word.
he would lee pestered almost into his
grave. and would survive only to he
beaten at the polls. For if Mr.. Wilson
could not carry the burden of the rec
ord. no lieutenant-uotc even Col. House
could
