(COllier'S WeekIVl

Politics is not as simple a matter as 1t used to be fifteen years ago. In these days in the senate and in the house, republicans lined up shoulder to shoulder and voted one way, and democrats lined up shoulder to shoul- der and voted the other way. If you knew a man was a repub- Hcan, you knew just about how he had voted on all the import ant issues. The same was true of the democrats. The man who did not vote with his party was marked per- son. All this has been changed by the political upheavals of the last dozen years. This is well illustrated by list of those members of the senate who voted against the river and har- bor appropriation bill last month:
 James H. Brady of Idaho, Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming, Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, Warren G. Harding of. Ohio, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Me- braska, Henry F. Hollis of New Hampshire, Paul O. Husting of Wis consin, Edwin s. Johnson of South Dakota, William s. Kenyon of Iowa, Robert Marion La Toilette of Wiscon- sin, Luke Lea of Tennessee, George William Norris of Nebraska, John F. Shafroth of Colorado, Reed Smoot of D. l William H. Thompson of Kansas, Benajmin R. Tilman of South Caro-. lima. Charles E. Townsend of Michi- gan, James W. Wadsworth, jr., of New York, Francis Emory Warren of Wyoming.
 Tn addition the following were paired against the bill: William E. Borah of Idaho, George P. Mclean of Connecticut, William Alden Smith of Michigan, Lawrence Y. Sherman of H. linois, George Sutherland of Utah.
 The list represents every prevailing shade of political belief. Here Is the leader of all radical republicans, La Toilette, voting with one of the two or three most powerful standpatters, Smoot of Utah. And voting with both are such dem mocrats as Hitchcock of Nebraska and Tillman of South Caro- lima. Nowadays it means little to say that man is republican or demo- crat. Only a pretty thorough study of his record can give the voter an ac- curate idea of the precise shade of any senator's or representative's political belief

"White Coal" (RoSt0n Post |

There is now reported an "acute situation" in the coal mining indus try of Alabama-one of the mainstays of the business of the commercial city of Birmingham in that state. IL is figured that the harnessing of water to the production of electric power "has already cut into the coal trade at the rate of more than 1000, 900 tons year"
 Alabama coal is not wanted up here: we get our fuel from other sources, and pay a good deal more for if Down there they say "exorbitant freieht rates hurt them.
 But cheap electric power puts an- other face upon the situation. It is all right to urge the demand upon the railroads for reasonable rates of transportation; but there will remain the later development of hydro-elec- tric power looking directly to the sub- e.titution of "white coal'-that is to say electricity produced by water nower-and this is taking its place among the most notable develop ments of our national industrial re- sources.

Becoming MOnOtOnous.

The war which we wage inevitably causes neutrais inconvenience. We would ask them to remember that, after all, we were fighting not only our own battle but the whole worlds bat tle.-London Daily Chronicle.
 We confess that this self-anointed altruism is getting slightly on our nerves. We are quite willing to ad- init that Great Britain is fighting "the whole worlds battle' for such neu- trals as the Egyptians, the Persians and Greeks. But the theory that England, to save the United States from German invasion, herself de- clared war on Germany at great per- sonal inconvenience, leaves us strangely sceptical.
 Great Britain has plenty of perfect ly good selfish reasons for fighting her own battles. We do not wish that she should refrain, every time that she kicks a new hole through information al law, from singing psalm on her benevolent battle for a thankess worlds-Newi~ Fork World, ---- ..

AUFWTEDERSEHN, DEUTSCHLAND

After many days and nights of preparation the giant submersible has cleared from Baltimor to Bremen. The craft that not long ago startled the world by it's wonderful running of the British blockade is now on it's way back to the Fatherland There are few good Americans who do not wish every success to the men who man this ship and to the captain over them. From now on every inkling of news from abroad will be awaited until something Is heard of the Deutschland She will be accorded every protection under the law while she is in territorial waters. Whatever harms that may befall her from an enemy hand must happen outside of the three mile limit. After that the government of the United States leaves her to fate or fortune or good luck or the skill of her captain.
 Aside from the interest engendered In the feat of the Deutschland because Cf war COnOaClOTS there Is dIlOLIIST ana greater reason for being wrapped up in the enterprise. It hearkens us back to those days when Columbus set out on the great boundless seas knowing not just where he would land but going in the general direction of fame and fortune. But for his abiding faith in theory the New World might have lain to this day undis- covered. After him there were other brave hearts that manned vessels that started from these shores and piled their way into the great and nysteri- ous Atlantic. And then on up the line, past the era of sailing vessels into the time when steamships raced with each other to make records in traversing the ocean From that period we come today to the time when an undersea has proved successful. For the bene- fits that may accrue and for many ether reasons we wish the Deutsch- land success. She deserves to get back home safe after a fitful cruise under and over the mighty deep. And, as we hope to see her again we do not say Good bye, but Aufwiedersehn.

Tennis veteran loses to youth."- Headline.
 It is the way of the world. The junior pushes the senior off the stage. The one-time champion succumbs to the irrepressib1e onslaught of the younger mans fresher vitality and larger endurance.
 But he has two coTnpensating thoughts-he himself has enjoyed in his time the thrill and satisfaction of youthful superiority, and the victor of today will in due season go down be- fore the New Generation.
 Sears Slocum, Hovey, Larned, Wrenn, Clothier and a host of other one-time tennis "top-notchers' have had their day and passed along, com paratively young men still, but not equal to the youngsters in their late teens or early twenties who play the game with extraordinary vigor and skill
 Mathewson, who not so very long ago was the chief of the youthful ex ponents of the pitching art, retires from the box, still alert, but lacking the phenomenal strength of his earlier years on the diamond.

Is the End in Sight?
Waterbury Democrat )

That the European struggle is drawing to it's close every one be- 1 lieves, but the date and the terms of peace are as much matter of guess- work as ever. The war might end much earlier than anticipated pro- vlded some great event occurred tend ing that direction. It is to be hoped that prognosticatiOns that the end will come with the new year will prove correct; but such anticipations
 are almost too good to be true, and the struggles quite likely to be car-
 ried into the coming year, judging by present resisting power of the Germans The latter will in some re- spects grow in strength as their forces
 contract and fall back upon unde-.
 vastated country, supplied with good
 railroad service and nearer the source
 of supplies. On the other hand, as
 the allies press forward they leave be-
 hind them nothing but chaos, their
 supplies become more and more dis
 tant, and traffic routes will be tenn
 porartly demoralized. Hence should
 the allies continue their present rate
 of success, real progress for them will
 become more and more difficult as the
 armies move forward. Last week
 marked the second anniversary of the
 war. Conditions have vastly changed
 during the interval. At the beginning the Germans were overwhelmingly on the aggressive. Now the central pow CTS are on the defensive and driven back in every direction, while allied preparedness is becoming overwheln- ing on every side. Thus far the cost of the war to all the belligerents has been over 40 billion dollars, and about $500, 100000 of this amount was raised by loans the United States. Should the struggle last another year, as expected by Kitchener, the outlay will run up to between 60 and 70 bil- lions; sum utterly beyond ordinary comprehension. Peace still seems a long way off, and when hostilities ceas months must elapse before any treaty of peace will be actually signed.
