Among those whose solicitude for

THE DIFFERENCE

The New York World, in its gem
eral capacity of defender-in-chief
of the democratic party and the pres
ent democratic administration, takes
that all of the important congress-
ional chairmanships, save one, are
held by Southerners. If the republic
cans control the next congress, says
the World, the important chairman
ships will all be held by Northern
ers. And so, it asks, Whats the
difference
First assuring the World that the
next congress will most certainly be
controlled by the Republicans and
adding our congratulations to the
country upon that happy outcome of
the elections, we will tell what's the
difference between having northern
ers and southerners in control of the
important committees in congress.
In the first place, northern con-
gressmen, whatever their politics,
represent somebody. They are not
elected by reason of laws which for
bid the right of suffrage to large
majority of the qualified electors of
their districts, and they own them
selves to be answerable to the whole
body of their constituents, and not
to little cabal Of party leaders. In
the second place, Northern congress
men generally hail from cities and
good-sized towns where they have
been active in business or profession
al life and where they have gained
an insight into affairs which enables
them to take more than parochial
view of public questions. In the
third place, northern congressman
belong to the party which stands for
nationalism as against sectionalism.
When they draw a tariff bill or q
currency bill or bill for the devel-
opment of the internal resources or
the country, they draw 1t upon lines
which recognize the needs of all parts
of the land. They are as willing to
do something for cotton" as they
are to do something for wheat. They
are as considerable of the needs Of the
Southern planter as of the Northern
farmer. They legislate for the wage
Garner in the cotton mills of Col
umbia, South Carolina, as readily as
they do for the wage-earner in the
cotton mills of Lowell, Massachu-
sets.
That is what makes the difference,
says our Washington correspondent.

HARD To PLEASE.

When Mr.. Hughes was exposing
the gross abuse Of civil service reform
by the Wilson administration, its
shameless spoils mongering, etc, the
Democratic managers severely criti-
cised him because his speeches were
obstructive and not constructive.
Having disposed, for the time
being, of one phase of Democratic in
competence, Mr.. Hughes has now
been discussing the tariff. In one
address in California, for instance,
he said, 81 do propose that we shall
hav\ a constructive tariff policy
which shall foster, not cripple;
which will build up, not de-
stroy; which will count American
achievement to be honorable and not
something to be traduced, which will
set the United States ahead, worthy
of competing in this economic strug-
gle with any nation on earth" AND
from the West comes the news that
Mr.. Hughes tariff speeches are most
enthusiastically received" And yet
the Democratic managers are not
satisfied. They declare that
Hughes tariff speeches are bad; that
Hughes was talking time-worn
tariff twaddle."

NO QUARTER.

Springfield Mass. Republican
From time to time travellers re-
turning from Europe have reported
on hearsay that on the eastern front
quarter is no longer given on either
side. That it is generally true can
not be credited, and indeed the re
ports show that a good many prison
ers are taken even in this savage
hand-to-hand war of the trenches
But that frequently the local en-
counter becomes one of eXtermina'
ton is frankly admitted, and to GER
ltain extent there may be ground fol
the charges made by the German
Overseas news agency against the
French squads of "Nettoteurs" OF
trench cleaners, whose business it is
to make thorough work while theil
companions push on beyond the
trench. 1t is foolish to charge thai
they are shown as murderers by be-
ing armed with pistols, knives and
grenades instead of rifles, for long
ago hand to hand weapons were ad.
opted by all armies for trench raid
ing. The graveness of the charge
seems to be that dugouts are bombed
though wounded men are often TAX
en- there for refuge That this is
true appears to be the case, but the
French are not alone in the practice
In England it is defended on the
ground that parties charging be-
yond the first trench had often been
exposed to a fire from the rear from
detachments concealed in these deep
German dugouts. OF direct relevance
is this recent statement by the cor
respondent of the London Times:
These dugouts have connecting
passages and many exits. When a
British soldier calls to the inmates
to come out, they shout back that
they cannot because they are tending
wounded. Earlier in this fighting,

HOW GOOD MUST METHODISTS


Sioux City Journal: The resolu-
lions adopted by the Sioux City dis
trict conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, opposing w. l..
Harding and supporting E. T. Mere
dith for governor, taken in connec-
ton with the fact that Mr.. Harding
is a member in good standing of the
church the conference was held, adds
new complication to an already be-
wildering state of affairs. 1t appears
that Mr.. Harding, although good
enough to be Methodist, is not good
enough to be governor of Iowa. Mr..
Meredith admits having taken glass
or two of champagne, "as courtesy
to his guests" and acknowledges
serving wine at banquets at his
home. Under the rules of the Me-
thodst discipline, such practices as
Mr.. Meredith admits would bar him
from membership in that denomina-
ton. Therefore, it appears that
from the viewpoint of the Sioux City
district conference, Mr.. Meredith,
while not good enough to be Metho-
dist is good enough to be COVER
nor of Iowa, while Mr.. Harding Is
good enough to be Methodist, but
isn't good enough to be governor
The situation thus created is a puz-
cling one indeed.

champagne at other peoples tables
and had served it at his own-he
mentioned host and guest-and he
didn't deny that he had signed sa-
loon petitions.
The Charles City Press says that
in an address at, Vinton Harding
declared he never drank liquor; new
err kept it in his house and never
signed saloon consent petition, al
though living in a large city where
the mulct law prevailed"
Now will the Register and Lead
err say upon it's own responsibility
that Mr.. Harding was not telling the
truth?

Rev. Geo. Pfeiffers of Cedar Falls
returned recently from Switzerland
going across Germany to Holland
and reports that the food supply in
Germany is short. He says the peo-
Die are very tired of the war and
are longing for peace. When Austria
Hungary declared war on Serbia she
had no idea that the conflict would
last SO long and be SO fierce, nor die
Germany think she would suffer the
loss of so much when she declared
war upon Russia. !, Had the great
European powers realized the terri.
bleness of the war there would have
been no war. However, it Will &C
on to the end and the defeated ma
tions will be bled as white as veal
During the first twenty-three months
of the conflict the central powers
gained steadily, but they have lost
ground very fast during the past two
months and neutral military critics
now generally believe Germany and
her allies must lose in the end and
they are expecting the end within
a year.
