When Patriotism Obliterates Party.

The scene in the house Of Representatives
when Speaker Clark came down from the chair
to Join with Republican Floor Leader Mann in
pushing the case for preparedness. was one that
lie inspiring for citizens OF the United States. and
ought to be instructive 90 the foreigner. II is
most impressive proof that Americans are united
for the proper protection OF the institutions and
their homes Partisan strife may rage over in
ternal matters. but when the question Of defense
of the nation is up, the only strife is for first
place in the country's service.
The debate in the house Is clearing the way
for the adoption of a definite program. When
this is completed IL will be urged with all be-
coming haste. bubbles Of various kinds. and
some real differences Of opinion to the better
way to proceed must be disposed OF before &C.
ton can become certainty. These are being re-
conciled. or are disappearing altogether. as pa
triotism oblterates party lines and brings all
men together for the good Of the country.
II 10 worthy of note in passing that the only
important organized opposition to the work Of
preparing better means for defending our coun-
try comes from faction of the democratic party
holding close allegiance TO the late secretary Of

'Lowbrowso and ''HighbrowsD Defined.

Chancellor David Starr Jordan OF Leland
Stanford University. talking to the undergradu-
ates, gives a definition OF 'lowbrow'' and "high-
brow" for the uses Of that school. He saws the
one is too practical, and the other IL not prac-
tioal enough This leaves something TO be de-
sired, for Il would perhaps be useful II the
learned doctor had even approximately set the

dividual OF medium brow elevation Gomez some
whore between the two classes designated, but
we are left cropping as to where to draw the
line. Very likely DIR. Jordan himself realizes
the difficulty, and doesn't care to particularize
too closely. Az the whole matter is finally one
for personal determination. the old rule for Sc
lection will continue to rule. "lowbrow" is
the fellow who laughs at our pretensions to
learning. and the "highbrow" is the fellow we
laugh at Too many of each kind are found In
