posed formidable barrier against a
campaign of this character. Thus it is
as much to the interest of Russia to
press to Rumania's rescue as for the
sake of Rumania herself. A powerful
reinforcement of the Rumanian army is,
therefore, TO be expected. For the pres
ent, indeed, Rumania offers more prac-
teal field of operations for Russian
troops than the Carpathians or Galicia
or Vo]hynia. Nothing can be gained

may be due 10 concentration through
retreat or the occupation Of more ad

result Of the arrival of Russian rein
forcements, which, it is stated are being
hurried into Runlania. From whatever
cause, however, it would appear that the
Teutonic drive through Transyivania
toward Rumanian territory has for the
moment been checked. A bitter deter.
mination to crush Rumania appears to
animate the military chiefs of Austria and
Germany. This is probably because of the
intense feeling aroused by the action of
the Bucharest government in casting lots
with the entente allies But there is
more than revenge in the motive for a
vigorous offensive across the Transyl-
vanian Alps into Rumania. II is vitalIv

chances of a movement against Constan-

Here and there, however, are signs
that all is not gold that is made to gilt

thousand majority in Ohio rendered Mr..
Wilson by Senator James of Kentucky.
If Ohio is safe for that, why should not
Kentucky be safe for two hundred thou
sand for Wilson, The one state is nor
mally republican, the other normally
democratic. And vet Kentucky is con-
ceded to be so debatable the democratic
managers are filling it with stumpers of

This old game keeps up in spite of all.

"Highbrows." :"

President Hibben of Princeton in his
address to the students at the opening
of the university condemned the use of
the phrase "highbrow,' to express seorn
of intellectual things. This is timely
and wise protest against an attitude OF
disregard for intellectual. development
which is too common on the part of the
people of this country today. There is
certain class who lool. upon mental
development, research, philosophical
thought and scholarship as improbable
and Of 10 value to society This is an
unwhoiesome position. It does not dis
courage those who aim at intellectual
achievements. The scorn Of small minds
does not deter earnest scholars from
continuing their work. The misfortune
of it all is that form OF antagonism
against intellectual endeavor is created
on the part Of many VINO should on the
contrary be proud OF the scholarship Of
their fellow Americans.
A "highbrow" is too often viewed as
a mere theorist, who without practical
knowledge of life undertakes to reform
conditions that are palpably undesir-
able. It is the favorite expression of
the professional politician. seeking to
beittle the activities of men who have
read deeply and have formed ideas of
how government should be organized
and conducted. Often these student re-
formers are impractical. Their ideals,
however, are always worthy of consider
alton, and, so far as possible, of estab-
lishment. Progress is often the result
of diligent striving toward the actually
unattainable

The Saturday Half Holiday.

There can be no doubt that under a
strict Interpretation of the statute every
Saturday afternoon is a holiday for the
government workers in Washington. A
former Attorney General has so held,
and the language of the law is plain
| 1t has been the practice of the govern
ment, however, to disregard the explicit
terms of the statute and to construe it
/ as permissive rather than mandatory. to
the end of holding the departmental
workers at their tasks ON Saturdays save
| in the summer. when they nave been
excused as a special consideration at
o'clock. Now movement is on foot to
make this weekly half holiday regular
throughout the year Heads of bureaus
and departments are reporting on the
subject. So far as known their recon-
mendations are favorable to the propo-
sition
The government clerks work hard and
diligently throughout the week They
have alone of all classes of workers had
no diminution of hours, but within re-
cent years have had their day length
ened by half an hour. They leave their
desks at time in the afternoon when
it is late for shopping or diversions.
They are compelled to hasten home to
conform to domestic schedules. The Sat
urday half holiday in summer has been
of material service to them. If ex-
tended throughout the year it would
greatly aid them in effecting their nee
essary arrangements.
The governments work is not in ar
rears. In practically every Office it is
up to date, as a result of the diligence
overtime to keep their desks clear and
to meet emergencies in the service, With
few exceptions their release from duty at
l o'clock on Saturday would in nowise
embarrass the service. The clerks are
willing in the main to speed their work
so far as possible, during the five and
half days in order to secure the half
holiday on Saturday, pressed as they are
at present.
1t would greatly convenience the com
munity to make this weekly half -holi-
day regular and not intermittent. So
long as the chiefs of the service are
willing and desirous of the recognition
of the statute in this respect there would
seem to be no ground for refraining
from an immediate order putting the law
into full effect.
