YOUNG. MEN AND DEMOCRACY.

During the years of uninterrupted
republican success the fact that the
party was in power and presented an
organization that seemed likely to
enjoy continued success was a party
asset of great value. 1t is only one
of the common impulses OF human
nature to wish to be on the stronger.
side and to the young man about to
decide upon career the winning
party presents strong attraction.
TO the young man joining the
democratic party now there is this at
traction of power, but, after all thls
is but a poor motive upon winch 10
rest a choice of political parties. 1T
has a certain merit at this time large
ly because it is not on the side OF the
republican party. The great attrac-
ton which the democratic party or
fers to young men is that 1T intro
duces them to political activity in
party which has it's face to the tu-
ture.
In the republican party today the
watchword is pack. Back to the
protective tariff is their loudest cry
and their dearest policy. Back to
the policies of the venerable Joseph
G. Cannon and to the leadership OF
men who think in his generation is
what they counsel. They would turn
back to the days when the most pow
erful voices in the affairs OF this ma
ton were the voices of those VINO
spoke for money and with it.
The young man who elects to cast
his fortune with the republican par
ty chooses to spend the best days OF
his political career fighting to cover
a retreat, and if there is anything at
tractive in that idea to young men,
then all the ages have been mistaken
as to the nature OF youth.
The Young Mems Democratic
Club of Missouri is planning to start
active work to enlist young men I'M
der the democratic banner, and we
do not know how conditions could be
much more favorable to success than
they are, The democratic party un-
der Wilson mas shown itself recep-
tive of new ideas and able to apply
them. Republicans promised tarlft
reform, but democrats reformed the
tariff. Republican inertia kept this
country in peril because of an I'M
sound financial system for something
like 80 years.. Dynamic democracy
gave us the best financial system we
ever had and finished the work in a
year.
Why should the go-ahead young
man be anything but democrat?-

w. H. Robb has been deposcd as
postmaster Of Creston. That's about
the most contemplate piece of poll
teal work we have known. Mr.. Robb
sold his paper in Creston at a sacri-

postoffice, then he got sick and the
post office inspector swooped down
on him and asked for his resignation.
An effort was made to have Mrs. Robb
substituted which would have been
satisfactory. But that did not work
out. erosion is the home of DR.. Rey-

THE FOURTEENTH.

The fourteenth nation has now en-
tered the war. Germany's declaration
of hostilities against Portugal fol-
lows the republics seizure of intern
ed German vessels. 1t may be con-
sluered more an expression OF Ger
man resentment than Of any inten-
ton on her part to train her guns on
Portuga.'s defenses. ~.
In military sense the newly de-
clared hostilities can scarcely be Of
much moment. Portugals tiny army
would naruly be visible on the broad
European line of battle. Her navy is
negligible. On the land side she is
hemmed in and protected by neutral
Spain. Earlier in the war there was
some fighting between Portuguese and
Germans in Angola, but it never
reached the formality of an official
declaration Of national enmity
Even though the little republic has
small expectations either of attack
ing or being attacked she has ven
tured a great stake by inviting the
German declaration Of war. Portugal
itself is small in territory and popu-
lation and weak in military way,
but she possesses large colonial en-
pire. Were the central powers to
win the verdict of the war this vast
Portuguese empire would be jeopar-
died and probably swept away. That
would be the penalty exacted or the
fourteenth belIigerent for allowing
herself to become embroiled in the
war.
Portugals action in Selling the
German ships may, therefore, be con-
sidered a MEASURE OF her confidence
that the anti-Teuton allies will final
ly win the gigantic struggle. For the
republic must have known that dec
laration of war would follow such an
unfriendly act.
TO Americans bent on keeping out
of the war, if consonant with ma
tional honor, Portugals action looks
like playing with fire. But Portugal
ought not to be ignorant of what war
means--and may mean to her.-kan-

The NOe,ve's Return.

The dash, the cunning and the sea
wisdom which enabled the MOeWe to
cruise for two or three months, de-
stroying merchant ships and laying
mines, will give her commander and
crew undying fame in the annals Of
the German navy.
Twice, at least, she made her way
through the North Sea, eluding fleet
Of watchers that stands guard on
every route from the German coast to
the open sea. She spent some of her
time under the very noses OF the
British and French navies, laying
mines, one of which, as long ago as
January 10, sunk British battleship.
She sailed away and spent a period
which cannot have been much less
than two months preying upon the
commerce of her enemies and cap
tured or sunk ships having an aggre-
gate tonnage of over $1,000 tons.
Then she sailed home, making her
way through the blockade. The first
the allies knew of her whereabouts
was when they learned from German
sources that she was safe in the har-
Dor at Wilhelmshaven. She brought
back captured gold enough to pay
for herself and may be using it now
to outfit new raid.
No one has ever denied that the
Germans have courage, but there has
long been a tradition to the effect
that romance and audacity at sea
were for Anglo-Saxons. The Germans
might fight and they might die, but
theirs was doomed to be plodding
battle and a dull death. The exploits
of the Emden and now of the Moewe
tell another story. We know that the
German sailor is to be reckoned with
in every sort of emergency at sea, but
we do not know by what ruse, what
craft or what daring the Moewe got
back home. That will be story to
tell after the war.

Sale of Landers Playground Makes
 Difficult Problem.

Chairman F. H. Prior of the pub lie amusement commission is faced with a baffling problem regarding playgrounds. The season will open next month and unless it can be diff1- nitely decided that the Burritt school yard can be used this summer he may be forced to hire private grounds.
 This situation is partly due to the sale of the Landers' playground in Winter street and partly due the pos sibility that the city may sell the Burritt school property for business purposes. He had planned to trans fer the playground equipment from the Winter street grounds to the Burritt school yard. The commits sion has an appropriation of $3,5OO to work with.

 The mysterious package looked exactly like those in which mangled remains are hidden by heartless murderers, or in which little waifs gre left on millionaires' doorsteps in hopes that the wealthy will adopt them.
 As the officer cautiously poked the package with his night stick and heard no resounding cries he became more courageous. Disgust was writ in letters large on the officers face however when he opened the bundle and found that instead of contain ing a dead body of a human being it contained the dead body of a cat Headquarters was notified.
