snfit FOR 3 sent IN the. Senate Of TIE
I1;fed States. and it's a pity the
s,e5r.le of Oklahoma have not The
,ower to recall him at ONCE.
We frankly confess chat so far as
re are concerned we are unable to ac-
nit him of deliberate malice: The
Oklahoma Senator was not betrayed
6to an inprudent utterance by sud
len excitement or passion: He mad
slept for nearly a, week over the
sopic which the Senate was consl-
lering. He understood fully the gra-
,ity and significance of the occasion.
,ll the stems which had led up to it
nd all the domestic and international
circumstances which surrounded it
.erved to emphasize its Importance
nd to strengthen the demand for
moderation and self-restraint. And
.et he did not hesitate to make a
barge that was virtually an impeach-
nent of the Presidents patriotism and
rood faith, and which was calculated
% destroy confidence in him at home
md abroad. He repeated what he
.ould not prove, the falsity of which
le could have ascertained by private
INQUIRY, and he attempted to poison
he public mind in order to do an in
'ury to the man who had refused to
:tand for Mr.. Bryan's curious dup
iomacg.
Whatever else happens, Senator
lore has given the country his mea-
ure. And it is the measure of very
mall and unworthy public man.

Athena as war seens TO Be envelo1
ing Island Of the BEST, begging
that the grim gods Of centsaeter. can
non, rapid frers and poison gases vii
spare The Parthenon, the Acropolis
the numerous ancient temples, shrin
es and art treasures.
|. AS for Athens, almost all that il
possesses which can beget love ano
reverence for The immortal days OF
poetry and philosophy and oratory,
have long been infruiiis. At any rate.
they were no more precious in theil
pristine periods than were the great
cathedrals and shrines of Belgium,
now riddled with the modern projec-
tile, in comparison with which tht
enginery which left in ruins the Par
thenon and its fellows was puny as

The glory that was Greece is moi
in her ruins, no matter how fascinat-
ing their place in PRISE and song, but
in, her literature and art sculpture.
The glorious utterances of Homer,
Aristophanes, Aristotle, Hesiod, Plato
Demosthenes, Eschylus and a host OF
others, will never fall to the guns OF
an enemy, and the isles of Greece,
where burning Sapho loved and
sung will remain intact in books
and marbles ages after the poisonous
gas bomb has become as obsolete as
the weapons of the Paleozoic period.
Z AS for the works of art, the best OF
them were long ago exhumed from
the oblivion of earth and debris by
a people more in love with the artl-
fcal effigies of beauty than Greeks
have been since the days of Homer
and Achilles; and for hundreds of.
years, for the most part, have been
in the museums Of other parts OF
Europe. 1t is a far cry from Pericles

THE ROAD TO
yERDUN.

A contemporary contains picture
which is significant at the present
time. It bears the title which is at
the head of the article. 1t is broad
highway composed entirely Of human
skulls.
Americans wno have passed through
the northeastern section of France
will recall the charming pictures
which they never grew weary Of be-
holding. Virtually all the ground was
under cultivation. and the country,
smiling in vegetation, was the silent
answer to The query, Why doss Il
Frenchman desire to be buried in his
own land? z
But the scene has suddenly shift
ed. Instead of green fields Astounding
in vari-colorad growslls and in shapes
suggestive and beautiful to behold,
he fertile land is disGgurcd by rife
rits and were nature was reWardlng
thrift, shells have plowed the ground
and RACED former happy homes, while
human bodies are stretched still and
stark everywhere.
Such is war, profession, the kals
ar believes is hest by high heaven.
IN tclegraphing to Princess Elizabeth
of SaYony he saws:
"With the help Of God we have
advanced. The Bl'andenburg troops
took the powerful stronghold Of
Douaumont. Thus we have broken
through the defense works which the
allies thought impregnable.
May God still further help our
heroes. He is with u.s."
If the convictions of the ancients,
whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad" be correct, the en-
thusiastic Emperor, may be as was
Hannah when invited by Esther to
tbs banquet. The Amalellite was un-
consciously digging his own grave
while in the delirium of the honor
which he supposed had been bcstow-
ed upon him.

ONE YEAR
FROM TODAY

& 8, From the appearances OF the pre-
sent political heavens, there is nc
doubt that Woodrow Wilson one year
from today will be indicted into Of
flee as President of the. United States
for the second time Meteorological
conditions on March 4, 1913, were
IDEAL, being suggestive of early
spring and in sharp contrast to the
blizzard weather of March a, 1909,
when his predecessor, William r..
Taft, took: the oath of Office.
The uncertainty of the weather at
the beginning of March has again re-
opened the discussion as to the adj
!viability of continuing to hold inau-
guration ceremonies during tins
month. It is said to be fact that
many persons contract pneumonia,
pleurisy, grip, ETC., on inauguration
days, from which a large percentage
fail to recover. Tyler's grip (influen-
"a and kindred ailments) followed the
inauguration of the Virginian. People
continue to call these winter .troub-
les grip, but doctors Lell us true
grip IS different disease altogether.
There are many "reminiscences in
correction with inauguration days
of past years. Those Of 1909 are still
fresh in the minds of all. High north
west winds, snow and frigid condi-
tions set in the previous night, and
on March 4 outdoor operations were
conducted under great difficulties.
Most of the features connected with
Mr.. Taft's Inauguration had to be
omitted, it being impossible for pedes-
trians to face the cutting winds Of
the broad Washington streets.
March 4, 1878, was another me
mortal day. Ulysses S. Grant was
INDICTED into office for a second term
on that day. A blizzard which set in
she previous night prevailed and mar
red all pleasures in connection with
the event. The old Norfolk steamer
Lady Of the Lake made the trip
from the city by the sea to this port
on the night of the Sd. Her officers
reported it as the widest night they
had ever experienced on the Chcsa-
ocakc and the Potomac. Captain Par
fridge, who commanded the steamer
at that time, contracted pneumonia
from exposure that night ard died .
few weeks later.
Many people still think that IN
auguration day should be placed in
some other part of the calendar.

CONFIDENCE IN
THE PRESIDENT

AS has been expected, Congress
will stand by President Wilson in his
negotiations with Germany concern
ing the, latter country's submarine
policy. A cotemporary this morning
contained picture representing the
dome of the Capitol of the United
States. Bombs were flying, labeled
ATTACKS upon the President" The
Stars and Stripes were high above
the bombs. The picture contains vol
umes for all Americans.
By a vote of 6S to ID the Senate
yesterday carried out President VII
sons wish and killed Senator Cores
resolution to warn Americans off ar
med belligcrent ships.
In the House the Foreign Affairs
Committee, by vote of II to 2, took
a step toward meeting fully the Presi-
dents wishes. 1t voted to report the
McLemore warning resolution with
the Recommendation that it be tabled
In the report the committee asserts
that the constitution imposed the con-
duct Of diplomatic negotiations on the
{ President, and with this practice the
committee does not feel it proper for
he House of Representative to inter
fere.
The report probably will be voted
on in the House today under a sps~
cial rule. Administration forces are
confident of fullfedged victory.
President Wilson's position on ths
international situation as revealed
further yesterday was that he mac
told Congressional leaders it WAS
months after the resignation of for
mcr Secretary Bryan before the Unit,
\ ed State government could convince
1 Germany that this nation was in ear
fare.
The President is understood tt
have mentioned this fact to show his
belief that action by Congress worlle
further weaken the position of the
United States abroad. He is under
stood, to have told the leaders thai
charges that he wanted to get tbs
& United States into war were entirely
: disproved by his attitude during thu
last two years He endured jecrs
and ridicule, he said, because Of M
efforts to maintain peace. He i
understood 10 have declared that NJ
has always bacn wiling 70 do any
thing except sacrifice honor in orde'
