Defeat of Major McClaUe.

I The recent primary election once
more landed Major S. Wood McClave
loser for the post Of Congressman
from the Sixth New Jersey district.
1t was from no lack of ability on the
part of the Major that he again
missed fire on the nomination he
ksought. but primarily because he
could not muster and did not want, to
muster the support of the machine"
He had been rather out-spoken about
wanting to stand on his own merits
rther than on the policies dictated by
any clique, SO his campaign was
based on the very sensible ideals he
represented as business man. There
are already too many so-called
lawyers and other professions in Con-
gress, and business administration
of the government and the making of
laws are both paramount issues of
the day. Major McClave richly de-
serves the honor he sought, and if he
will take a piece of good advice, he
will take the stump as an independ-
ent. He is radically Republican, but
has strong progressive ideas. He no
doubt could formulate platform suf-
ficiently able to win against the nomi-
nees of both parties, because he rep
resents the type of real high-minded
citizenship that is extremely rare
nowadays. Let him shy his castor in
the arena and come forth as a man
of the people, as everybody knows him
to be, and as he has declared himself
to be. That's the way to beat the
politicians.

The Denls. Us. The Repubs.

The party candidates are now all
lined up ready for the final dash to
the finish line. The race closes No
vember 7, and the party carburetters
are all being adjusted in order to get
the most efficiency. Here in old Ber-
gen the fur is already flying. Be-
fore the primaries candidates were
thicker than hops. The elimination
process has now thinned the ranks
down to two and two of kind. All
of the Republicans are now lined up
against all the Democrats, so that
each contest is man to man. Having
weeded out things the race is now a
real contest.
The Democrats were never any
good, and the Republicans cannot be
trusted. That's what opposing sides
are going to say. The chances are
just 100 to l shot that no matter
which side wins, the country will not
go to the dogs anyhow. We each
have our preferences, of course, but
no man is necessarily a hound be-
cause he is a candidate for Office
unless he is liar. Then there isn't
any excuse for him, notwithstanding
old Solomon's little side remark that
"all men are liars"

Don't Be Counted Out,

Misfortune fourishes through a
lack of nerve food.
The best thing to do is to let no
count of ten be made over you.
No man is ever down and out till
he admits it himself. y Nat is the
fatal error of life.
- Get up when you are k- Ned dor.
1t is the only way.
There is lot more la 1t power
in every man than he knows about.
1t only takes effort to bring it out.
Hopelessness never brings success.
1t cannot in the nature of things. The
chap who looks on the dark side never
gets anywhere. He ought not to.
Few men ever made successes of
themselves without long series of
failures. 1t is not in the human pro-
cess of things. The rough spots may
be hard to-day, but you can climb
over them tomorrow if you try.
Always think of brighter day to
come. 1t takes stiff spinal column
to face many things, but that is what
backbone is for. If you think bad
luck has followed you, take a brace
not bracer. The great stimulants
of life are hope and pluck. You may
be hard hit one day, but you also may
hit the other fellow tomorrow. Don't
count yourself out till you're dead.
Then you wont bother about it.
The thing to do is to keep alive all
the time to-day. Obstacles are moth
ing after all but aids placed in the
pathway to keep US in good trim and
muscle. Climb over them and they
will make you enjoy your meals.

The Riqht of Opinion.

III the Germans In America could
bring themselves to the point of
recognizing the fact that every act of
President Wilson in the conduct of
affairs relating to the differences be-
tween this country and Germany have
been always for American rights,
and not against any German rights,
they would be at the beginning of a
CLEAN of light.
But they appear not to believe this.
Whatever Mr.. Wilson has done for
America they insist has been against
Germany. 1t is not so, and cannot be
established. No court of arbitration
of the facts would side against Will
son. But even SO, granting that
court of inquiry should find that Will
son had done things not in the in
terests of Germany, it would be only
finding that because they happened
to be for America first, they were
against Germany for that reason
Merely because something happens to
be for this country, and happens to
be incompatible to Germany, is no
sign that we should declare a point
against us and our government
in order to dovetail into something
that would weaken our interests at
home.
But the facts in the case of this
people against the German people are
that America has been neutral in the
strictest sense of the word, except in
so far as it relates to having our own
views about the war. We live up to
the demands of strict neutrality, yet
we reserve still the right of opinion,
whether that opinion happens to side
with the attitude of the Central
Powers or not. 1t is the only human
way for the reason that all people
have opinions. Germans have their
views about America, and no Ameri-
can can help it. They are welcome
to their faith. No one can say aught
against the faith that every German
has in his country. Germny is re-
ligion to every German. No country
ever wrought such fabric of pa
triotic, cooperative loyalty. They
have proven their loyalty in giving
up millions of lives for the sake of
establishing their kind of faith. No
fair mind can question the faith of a
Germans The only thing over here is
that Germans in America cannot un-
derstand that to be an American
citizen he must renounce all other
faiths. He may revere the Fathefy
land, but he cannot fight his adopted
land without breaking faith, and no
man of honor will do that. The many
compacts that have been fought out
over here since thai war began; the
many intrigues and plots that have
been uncovered, all reveal the trend
towards over-zealous loyalty to the
old country as against the adopted
country. The moral position is all too
apparent. 1t is all wrong, and sooner
or later the Germans in America will
see it. No honest American citizen
by adoption can take objection to
these statements, for the reason they
know they are true. Germans in
America take unbrage at the selling
of munitions to the Allies. Putting
the shoe on the other foot, what would
Germany have thought had we not
sold her munitions had she been able
to sew England, France and Russia
up with an air-tight blockade? Does
any sane man dare say that Ger
many would have failed to get all
the war material in this country
possible

A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE.

TOR the time being at least the Russian drive toward
i the Hungarian plains has brought up against Ger
man force in the Carpathian region, and special
force OF Germans being organized to take the de-
tense of Trieste the great Austrian naval base on the
Adnatic which seriously threatened by the Italian
army. 1t is the old story. Whenever the safety of
the Iron Ring seriously threatened German commanders
are hurried to the spot to the day; whenever fighting
of the most desperate character prospect German vet
sent to do it.
1t impossible say upon what terms the will
be brought TO end what the ultimate result Of the
peace negotiations will be- but assuming that human nature
is the after peace comes as it was before hosties
broke out the Of the struggle ought to make for
Prussan hegemony far as the Central powers are con-
cemed. Two years and more Of actual German leadership
in military matters; Of assumed and all but acknowledged
German superiority in many ways, cannot help but have
marked effect upon the spirit of the Austrian people.
This applies to those Of the Teuonc blood as well as to
those of the ten other that live within the
confines of the dual empire
1t is. indeed, quite among the possibilities that the spir-
ua reaction operating upon the political organization of
the Teutons in the German and the Austrian empires may
have pronounced effect upon the future political
history of Europe than all the money and blood that has
been poured out Moreover it is favorie trick of the
Fates to make purpose entirely foreign to
the thought Of the people who bring war on. Teu,onic
government which would give expression to the democratic
yearnngs Of the Germans Of Bavaria and the Rhine cou-
try and yet retain the passion for efficiency of Prussia
but with both the Hohenzollems and the Hapsburgs left
out would certainly work confusion for the ambition of

years ago.

1t is possible that there is truth in the report
from Bucharest that Germany has offered to pay Rou-
mania for continued neutrality with territorial compen
sations at the expense of Austria The German general
staff may think it Of the highest Importance that the
Roumanian army be kept out just at this time and
Austria is in position to protest But If the Rou-
manians wise they will just keep of it as long
as they and take good to accept compensa-
tion for being good No matter which way the war
ends the little countries that took advantage of the
situation to drive hard bargains with their great neigh
bors are going to have large to settle. On the
other hand there is much likelihood that countries like
Switzerland and Holland, that have maintained their
neutrality at great cost to their people will be able to
demand compensation when the time comes to dstrib-
ute indemnites.

HUGHES ON THE TARIFF.

GHARLES E. HUGHES frank statement of his
" position on the tariff question at Tacoma ought to
clear the atmosphere regarding that phase Of the
pending campaign.
The tariff is an economic question purely and simply,
butntorunaey for the country it always has been foot.
ball OF party politics. and for long time to come it will
continue to be. Under government such as ours it is
proper that it should be matter Of the larger politics;
that tor instance, the policy which underes tariff legs-
aon should be under control Of the voters 1t is absurd
to assume that the whole public or even the whole
membership of the two branches Of Congress would know
enough about the intricate details of business to pass INTEL
lisenty upon individual schedules Within the past two
q three years the public has come 10 realize this and there
has been general demand in all parties, for tariff COM
mission; for body composed of experts whose duty it
would be to guide Congress along the proper paths in the
labyrinth OF tariff and commercial legislation.
But what is to be the controlling idea Of these commits

on an appreciation of Mr.. Wilson's
realization Of the country's unpre.

is really no reason to doubt that Mr..

that after his resignation Secretary
