precedence to training, to experience, to
age. to learning as OF course. and put
young men by to await their turn.
Among them, as among the yirginians,
certain families enjoyed a prescriptive
pre-eminence. Any Englishman might
have found the air and the method OF
action I'm that school of AFFAIRS of the
familiar kind OF all tradition amongst
English speaking peoples.
The connection between Congress and
the Executive was, It is true, private,
not open or upon the floor of the houses.
The Presidents official advisers did not
appear in debate or take their places
upon the floor parliamentary leaders
The houses had by explicit vote declined
to hear them there. Neither did they
resign. as the Kings ministers did. when
the measures they suggested were de-
feated in legislative vote. Their ad-
vice was given in private conference;
they had no recognized responsibility for
party legislation: they suffered no per-
sonal defeats and enjoyed no personal
triumphs In Congress.
But their influence was direct and pow
erful: and the government, for all its
theoretical separation of parts went for
ward as II of a single piece whenever
the-houses were of the Presidents party.

1t was noteworthy that there had fallen.
with that change, blight of final dis
credit upon the congressional caucuses
which had for so long assumed TO nomi-

Scattered state legislatures had made

IF Germany would give the milk she has to
her babies instead of using it in the manufacture
OF munitions" says Mrs Pankhurst this call for
milk for Germanys babies would not have come
Germany has all the milk she needs for food. The
great trouble is she is not using it for food 1t
goes into her munitions plants. If we women had
our way the babies would have precedence over
the cannon. 1t is the Kaiser who is starving the
German infants, not England and France" We
don't know whether Germany needs the milk for
her munitions factories, but the plea that it is
needed for the babies is palpably false, and only
few emotional persons in this country are i'm
pressed by it

For two sad years Mr.. Webster and
Mr.. Clay sought to keep the nation in
hand. chiding every show of uneasiness
or agitation under the compromise they
had labored to effect; speaking of the
measures of 1850 as the indispensable
props Of the constitution and of the
Union itself; making all sober counsels
OF peace ring eloquent in every perfect
phrase of conciliation and persuasion
their genius could coin or their striking
utterance and presence enforce.
But Quiet would not come at their bid
ding.
Mr.. Webster had lost his hold upon his
own people. They had deemed his advo-
cacy Of the compromises a base and cow
ardly retreat from the high place of doc
trine and OF craftsmanship he had held
so gallantly against Mr.. Hayne. and now
thought his defence of them but aggra-
walton OF his apostasy.
Mr.. Clay seemed already of another
generation dead and gone.
The new forces afeld were not for his
handling
Both men died with the infinite uneasi-
ness OF that last failure heavy upon
them, Mr.. Clay in June. Mr.. Webster in
October. 1852. fearing that they saw and
knew what was to follow.
The stage was clearing for another
scene.
1t was, indeed, difficult until these
older figures were withdrawn to realize
how radically the scene had changed.
how singularly confused and altered the
field OF politics had become.
Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Calhoun, and Mr.. Web
ster. the notable men who had now made
their sad exit, had come into affairs
forty years ago, upon the eve of the
second war with England.
In their lifetime the very character OF
the government had changed.
In the days when they had entered
Congress. themselves men OF a new gen.
Grafton. the country lived under a sort
of parliamentary system. Congress look
ed to the Executive for guidance. The
Presidents cabinet was made up Of the
recognized leaders Of the dominant party.
The succession to the presidency was
determined by congressional caucus. and
the Secretaryship OF State was looked
upon as the post of succession to the
headship of the government.
Parties were organized under men who
got their authority from training and
from close association with ruling groups
OF influential statesmen whose primacy
In affairs no one dreamed OF disputing.
Massa achusetts had her ruling coterie
of authoritative leaders no less than Vir-
ginia. Her professional classes. her law
yers and ministers for the most part
determined her action in politics-uni-

belief that the postal service should be con-
Quoted on business principles. If cents is suf-

Tags for Sub Men.

AS a result of the experience with those
lost on the submarine F-4 in Hawaiian
waters, some important recommendations
have been made as a contribution to the
Identification of those who may be here
after lost in similar disasters. Surgeon
William Seaman, U. S. Navy, who is in
command of the naval hospital in
Hawaii says, in a memorandum descrip-
tive of the recovery of the remains of
the crew of the F-4:
Mounds of bones were dug out with
the debris of the engine room, which
were later separated into the parts of
three or four bodies In ell the skulls
recovered there was bridge work, crowns,
and Filings not noted on the health re-
cords. OF the twenty-one health re-
cords examined. there was only one entry
of bridge work and one gold crown. Two
local dentists, who had done much work
for the submarine f1otilla, were consulted
with reference to the dental work noted
in the recovered skulls, but the work
could not be identified in any case with
their office records. This dental work
had probably been done on the West
coast before the fiotilla came to Homo
lulu.
This lack of dental Identification which
on account OF missing data suggests the
expediency of more care of noting dental
work done among both officers and men,
as several identifcations could have been
made had the characteristic dental
operations been noted on the health
records. 1t has been suggested that
metal tags, light in weight-aluminum.
for instance-be attached to officers and
men, especially those doing submarine
work. and worn about the neck. Expert
ence in this accident teaches that II worn
about the neck they would have been
useless, as all the skulls were separated
from the bodies: but that IL worn about
the ankle they would have remained IL
would be well to insist. on a regulation
requiring that the heels Of all shoes be
marked with the initials of the owner
cut into the leather
