HECKLIN0 OF POLITICAL
SPEAKERS

Mr.. Lincoln, in the Lincoln-D Doug
las debates when an Illinois Sena-
torship was the immediate issue and
the Presidency of the United States
was in the background, with all that
it could imply at such critical time,
made some of his strongest points in
asking and answering questions. Mr..
Douglas was not equally felicitous
in dealing with the direct question
as to what he might do in particular
circumstances.
Until very recently heckling, as
an incident to political campaigning,
has not been much practiced in this
country. The American idea has
been that the speaker is entitled to
state his case in his own way, with
out interruption; the other side is to
have equally favorable opportunity,
in it's own time, to tell it's story with
like immunity from, interference. On
the other hand heckling is an estab-
lished British custom; the word is
British and it describes a character
istic procedure in British campaign
ing.
In the present campaign there
has been a decided disposition to in
troduce systematic heckling; inter-
ruption of the speaker with ques-
tions presumed to force a direct and
difficult answer. The American au-
dience is not habited to the perform
ance, and commonly treats the inter-
rupter with scant courtesy; he re-
quires to be very earnest and In
sistent if he doesn't get hooted
down. But he doesn't have so good
a chance to be collared and chucked
out of the hall by blue-coated ennis
sary of order and regularity, as he
once did. 1t is part of the campaign
orators modus operandi, if he be
skillful and clever, to pretend, at
least, a perfect frankness that courts
interruptions and questions. Not
many orators, in truth, like to take
the chance of debating with their
audiences, but it would never do to
admit such misgivings. When the
audience Kisses the heckler, the
Speaker of the evening" must raise
his hand, appeal for order, urge fail
play, and beg that "the gentlemen
be heard"
There are legends which recount
that some Of the famous bits OF
platform repartee were carefully
prearranged between the interruptel
and the orator; a highly pertinent
and seemingly difficult question
brings the speaker right up against
the hardest proposition for him tc
meet. Quick as a fash he demol
ishes the questioner and his issue
with a burst Of seeming frankness

PAYING FOR WHAT ONE GETS

A short -order eating establish
msnt in this town announces that
the price Of coffee per cup is going
10 be raised from s to 10 cents. This
n almost as shocking news as q pro-
pesal to raise street car fares to a
dime. Coffee may be bad for our
nerves, but 110-cent coffee in popu-
lar-price places would get on 'em
eutrageously. The tradition of s
CENTS for the cup that cheers and
likewise, IL it's particularly good, in
ebriates, is about as firmly embedded
IN our institutions as was the theory
Of bimetallism before people started
thinking about it. ~, 80
Why. il it be necessary to charge
5 cents for coffee with the concomi-
tant of cream and sugar, should not
the coffee alone be served for the
same old nickel? It never has been
at all apparent why the depraved
person who wishes for plain coffee
should have to pay for incidentals
that no true coffee devotee wants.
There is good-anyhow, good
enough-medical authority for the
belief that coffee undiluted is less
harmful to the inner works than cof-
fee with cream in it. Multitudes Of
people think so much more Of coffee
than they do Of cream and sugar
that they don't want the brew al
loyed. Why, if the cream and sugar
make continuance of the Scent price
impossible, shouldn't the cup Of I'M
tempered coffee go at the same old
price?

A LUSITANIA SETTLEMENT"

The American public is not going
TO be satisfied with the announce
ment that some sort of assurances
have been received from Germany
about the Lusitania case, which are
Of such character that the Admins
tration does not dare make the pre-
else terms public until after cleo
ton. A settlement that cannot be
given publicity till after election,
notwithstanding that the Lusitania
was sunk near year and half ago
and that the German note now made
IN international mystery was re-
ceived months ago, is not of the kind
the American people have demanded.
X is not of the kind that the brave
words Of President Wilson justified
the country in expecting. That much
can be pretty confidently forecast.
The paraphrased texts of the Ger
man communication which our Gov
eminent has accepted all point to
this conclusion.
Precisely what Germany said in
the suppressed note is not known;
but its substance seems to be pretty
clear. Germany is sorry that Amer
leans lost their lives, but does not
admit that she acted illegally in
taking them. She is willing to pay
damages for them, but not to prom
ise that other lives will not be taken.
Perhaps the best judgment of the
efficacy of whatever pledge was
made, is to be formed by consider
ation of the late submarine raid on
the New England coast. There was
apparently nothing in Germany's
Lusitania note that engaged her not
/. TO do such acts as were done off
Nantucket. There ought to have
been. If the U-53 conducted itself
within the rights accorded to Ger
man submarines when Washington
accepted" the suppressed Lusitania
note, then it is plain enough why
the Administration doesn't want to
publish the note till after election.

A CRISIS AHEAD IN MEXICO

The slump from Carranza threat
ems presently to precipitate new
situation in Mexican affairs. The
recently published outline of the
new constitution that Carranza
wants adopted in order to make him
a constitutional instead of an uncon-
stitutional tyrant, is not arousing
enthusiasm. 1t is increasingly ap-
parent that the military leaders are
Disguised with the first chief, while
General Oregon, anxious to retain
his own post as chief Of the army,
is planning the suppression of other
generals who might become OBJ
stacles to his control. II is indeed
being strongly intimated that Obre-
gon is even now the real Carranzista
authority while Carranza himself is
a good deal of figurehead.
General Trevino, chief of the mill
tary forces in Chihuahua, is unlikely
tamely to submit to the Oregon
program. He is young, popular, and
has an excellent record. He was
military aide to Madero, and barely
escaped with his life when the
Huerta coup took place, joining the
Carranzista movement. A gradu-
ate of the great military school at
Chapultepec, he is real soldier, a
scholar, and a gentleman. He is
known to and highly respected by
the foreigners in Mexico, and is also
popular with the Mexican people Of
the northern states because he is one
Of them, and because in military
command he has never confiscated
property without giving proper
military guarantees.
1t is not going to be a simple mat
ter to eliminate Trevino; the out
look is that Trevino will revolt, and
that in doing so he will have the
northern army supporting him. In
that event the Carranza regime will
fall quickly or else, if it still pos
sesses power to sustain itself for a
time, there will be renewal of in
ternecine warfare. With an Amer
lean army in the country and such
big events framing, the possibilities
for this country are of the gravest
character.

PERKINS RIDICULES
WILSON DRIFT TALK
Confident Hughes Will Win, and
Points to Maine and Jersey.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.--with his hand
on the Republican throttle. George W.
Perkins announced that the Republican
campaign was going along all right.
that personally he had more confidence
than ever OF the election OF Charles II.
Hughes, and that reports spread OF
Republican gloom and OF a steady drift
to Wilson were ridiculous, with facts
to back them.
I've been through a good many cam
paigns and / think | know something

say TO you truthfully that i am more
confident than ever that Mr.. Hughes
will win.
This election was over sixty days
ago. when the returns from Maine came
in. The whole issue WAS fought out
there. The Wilson forces threw their
entire strength into the state: they tried
a dogcatcher. And what are the signs
since then? Do they point TO Wilson?
Take the New Jersey primaries and the
nomination OF MARITIME. Take the regis
last week. Whenever there Is a chance
to gauge sentiment the indications favor
Mr.. Hughes.
And here is another indication. The
Hughes Alliance has just been max
ing tabulation of the enrolment
slips which men have signed and sent
in from every state. This shows for
the entire forty-eight States that III
per cent of the signers were men who
voted four years ago for Wilson. The
! highest percentage is in California,
where &c per cent voted four years
ago for Wilson. Does this indicate
drift to Wilson?

never yet been a campaign in which

MUST TABBY cor

At a recent meeting Of the
Georgetown Citizens Association
one of the members of that body
made a vigorous attack on cats, gen.
orally, and on Georgetown cats in
particular. The speaker accused
Tabby of all sorts of crimes, such
as raiding garbage cans, destroying
song birds, disfguring lawns, and
making herself nuisance generally,
and urged a concerted effort to drive
her out of Georgetown. 1t was fur
ther suggested that she be taxed
and forced to wear a tag.
This sounds like rough treatment
Of an animal that has been living
under the same roof with mankind
for centuries. Should not ouI
Georgetown friends reflect moment
before thus ousting Tom and Tabby ?
Perhaps, after all, they are not SC
black. Back in the days when most
people lived in the country, the cal

full of domestic animals. The barns
and cribs were of hewn logs anG
rough boards, and but for the untir'

farm produce. The house cat was al
much a part of the fixtures as the

AUSTRALIANS WARTIME SOCIAL
EXPERIMENTS

Australia is so far away from the
Occidental world, though spirit
ually, racially. and institutionally a
part of it, that doings in that coun-
try are little understood in the
Northern Hemisphere. Before the
European war, Australia had ad-
vanced far toward specialization of
institutions, with mixed-decidedly
mixed-results. Wages and salaries
were extensively fixed by public ad-
ministration through the arbitration
tribunals. But prices of foods and
other necessaries were not fixed
until war conditions necessitated the
further expansion of the state-con-
troll system to them.
The Commonwealth Price Adjust
ment Board in a statement declares
that its declared" prices have
saved the consumers of the country
| $2,500,000 on bread alone this year,
while half that much more has been
saved on other mill products than
-four.
The states of Queensland and New
South Wales, which are the most
radical of the federation, took the
lead in these activities; but the fed
eral government was not slow in
following their lead. When the war
started the manufacturers, import
ers, wholesalers, and retailers forced
increases in prices, which, in view
of the fact that wages were so
largely controlled by public author
ity, amounted to reductions of
wages. 1t was analysed by these
Antipodean economists, as merely a
question whether wages should be
generally raised, or prices generally
suppressed; they took the opposite
end, and sat on the prices. In most
of the states producers prices,
wholesalers prices, retail prices, on
about all the absolute necessaries.
are fixed under the law. At single
session the New South Wales
Necessaries Commodities Commits
sion settled the price of milk. Re
adjustments have been made from
time to time since, to meet condi-
tons; but they have been mere rou-
tine matters, according to the pro-
ponents of this heavenly system of
having the government do it all for
the people.
