It has been remarked that every one should have little spare time be- sides that devoted to serving upon committees. If we do not get such spare time how can we forget our own importance? If we do not forget our own importance how can we be awak- ened to or appreciate the importance of others2 When it comes to commit tee work there are always people enough to go round; and it is barely possible the work might be the bet ter done if some people were not given 50 much to do. Committees for this and that everywhere are kept in too narrow limits. When clique gets es- tablisked any where in life it fcrgets there are others" Where the con- cept of trustworthlnes and ability is narrow the results are often meagre.

van will oppose him for the democratic
nomination. The one is an orator, the
other an organizer. Mr.. Lewis has q

are energetic politicians. II the race

1t may be of interest to note that in
the recent campaign in Indiana an ora
tor was opposed to an organizer, and
won Mr.. Watson, one Of the states best
speakers, defeated for the Senate Mr..
Taggart, an exceptionally clever man at
getting voters to the polls On election
day. The tongue proved greater than
the machine.
Mr.. Sullivan has never been a favor
ite of the administration. He lacked its
support when he ran for the Senate two

Suffrage Heckling.

It is hard to understand the reasoning
animating the action of the suffragists
who the other day disturbed the reading
Of the Presidents address in the joint
session of Congress by hanging banner
over the gallery wall demanding to
know what he will do for the cause of
equal franchise. The incident has at
tracted attention. Perhaps that was its
sole purpose. 1t was certainly not cal
culated to make friends for the cause.
On the contrary, it is likely to ALLEVIATE
rather than win sympathy. 1t was a
form of heckling quite as obnoxious as
the vocal interruption of speaker. The
impropriety of this display of propa-
gandist banner in the halls Of Congress
must be obvious even to those who un-
dertook it.
Woman suffrage is advancing in the
United States. Although no new states
were won at the last election, the sub
ject was one of nationwide interest and
importance. The women's votes in vari-
GUS states had direct influence upon
the result. As never before the suffrage
Of the women played part in presi-
dental election. Whether as a result of
that demonstration Of political power
the cause of suffrage was advanced ma
tionaHy cannot be determined, but there
can be no doubt that ultimately the
women of this country will be enfran-
chised, whether by the action Of indi
vidual states or by the adoption of a
federal amendment remains to be seen.

faction leaders. Comparisons are in
evitable in such q situation, and it has
been suggested that the kings father,
the late Edward VII, would perhaps
have prevented the present breach by
his exceptional diplomacy, which he en-
ployed so effectively during his brief
reign. King George, however, appears
to have been by no means unequal to the
task Of compromising differences.
It was singular that just at this time
there should be talk of a French min
isterial crisis, with possible change In
the chief command in the field. These
changes, actual and prospective, all bear
upon the prospect of next years cam
paign in the field, in the course of which
the allied governments hope to reap a
military advantage that will lead to the
institution of peace negotiations upon
the initiative of Germany.

The New British Premier.

The British cabinet change works into
form of new ministry headed by David
Lloyd George. It will be composed of
representatives Of different parties, an
other coalition cabinet succeeding that
which was formed Of, the party leaders
shortly after the outbreak Of war. Some
suggestion is offered in the dispatches
that this coalition will not be as strong
as the first one, owing to the recent de-
velopment of factional feeling. But that
there will be any lack of determination
to prosecute the war vigorously on ac-
count of this condition is not appre-
hended.
David Lloyd George has been marked
for the premiership for some years. He
has been recognized as one Of the
strongest men in Great Britain. He is
aggressive, fearless, full of initiative,
naturally a leader, and while given some.
what in the ante-beHum days to expert
ments in craftsmanship he has at no
time since the war began shown a dis
position toward radicalism. He is an
exemplar of efficiency and as minister
in charge of munitions and afterward
minister Of war he proved to be the
man whom England needed in her emer-
gency. Though closely associated in the
old ministry before the war, he as chan.
cellor and Asquith ~ premier. he and
the latter have never been wholly in
harmony. Mr.. Asquith is more the stu.
dent than the man Of action. He has
been exceptional as an adjuster Of diff
ferences, but it was inevitable that the
stronger temperament of George should
eventually lead to breach.
In this crisis It appears that King
George has played IN important part in
securing pledges Of eo-cperstion from

Pay Increase Proposals.

Conflict of opinion as to the best
method Of effecting a horizontal in
crease in the pay Of government en-
ployes at this session should not imperil
the plan of affording relief to the work
ers in the department service, who are
under greatly increased burden of liv-
ing cost while receiving the same rate
of compensation as sfor the past half
century and more. Some hold that this
should be done by separate bill, others
that the appropriation bills should carry
the necessary legislative provision. Some
want to investigate the situation to
make sure of striking a scientific aver
age of increase, while others believe that
straight-out 10 per cent advance at
the least would be justifable.
Whatever the method, the present ses-
sion should not be permitted to close
without action along this line. 1t is not
important whether it is done by sepa-
rate bill or by legislative changes in the
appropriation terms. It is, however, i'm
portant that it should be done in man
ner to make it a permanent and not a
merely temporary increase, and that it
should be thus a fundamental change
affording q new basis of compensation
upon which future readjustments may
be established, such as those that are
contemplated by the commission now at
work inquiring into the departmental
conditions.
The government should not do in this
present situation what was done in the
sixties, after the war, when, as a means
of emergency relief, the clerks were
given an increase of pay for one year.
1t is not as though the present pay scale
were normally adequate. It has been
inadequate for a long time, regardless
Of economic fluctuations and temporary
increases in the cost Of living. In no
other line Of employment has the pay
scale remained stationary for half a
century. Even when at the lowest ebb
the bad times Of Industrial depres-
sion salaries and wages in private en-
ployments are higher than they were at
the time that the government pay scale
was established.
To effect temporary increase to meet
existing prices of necessities of life, to
be followed by return to the old scale,
would be a cruelty unwarranted by any
Treasury conditions and by the situa-
tion in the service itself. The work
that the government clerks are doing
-oday deserves higher pay, because it is
more exacting. The hours are longer.
Responsibilities imposed upon individ-
uals are heavier. If the cost of living
were no higher than in normal times
this increase would be justified. When
effected now it seems probable it should
be as permanent advance as a matter
Of justice.

Illinois.

The attention of Roger Sullivan is re-
spectfully called to the fact that while
opinion in the Senate is divided as to
who should succeed the late Mr.. Clarke
In the Office of President pro tenn
pore, and who Mr.. Kern az majority
leader, there is unanimity of sentiment
on the democratic side in favor of the
retention of Mr.. Lewis in the Office of
whip" His services, it is agreed, have
been satisfactory in the place, and the
feeling is that he deserves renewed
recognition.
Illinois last month disappointed both
Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Lewis. Despite
their best efforts, it gave a very large
majority for Hughes. Senator La Fol.
lette accuses Mr.. Sullivan Of having
''iaid down" on Wilson. But he offers
no proof, and in the absence of proof
Mr.. Sullivan is entitled to the benefit of
his reputation as good fighter and a
hard hitter at all times He simply
found himself up against a situation
too strong for him.
But nobody has accused Mr.. Lewis of

A New Bryan Boom

A recent announcement made in New
York by Mr.. Bryan about his future ac-
tivities was, it seems, misconstrued. He
has not put all of his eggs into one
basket. He is strong for prohibition,
but strong also for other things. He
ner eaten in his honor. He has his eyes
: on, and is still opposed to, militarism
He wants women to have the vote. He
entertains some very positive views
about railroad regulation and legisla-
tion. He considers the electoral college
"elumsy," and wants some provision
made for direct expression of the peo-
pie in the election of President. And
he suggests easier means for amending
the Constitution.
But greater than any or all of these
is the issue of prohibition, as Mr.. Bryan
reads the times, and he expects it to
provoke "the fiercest contest" He will
not be disappointed. Driving John Bar
>yeorn out of American politics is a
large order; and the time he allows for
-four years-will prove too short.
- he has set himself the task, and
begun operations with the best
she's of great many people.
his visit of Mr. Bryan to Washing
A. has been veritable personal tri-
i; nph. He divided honors with the
I "sident in the chamber of the House
i& sday. He was the Presidents guest
ct luncheon yesterday. At last nights
dinner the President in letter paid
tribute to Mr. Bryan's part in the recent
campaikn. 1t was read to large and
distinguished company of democratic
office holders and politicians. Seated at
table were both Bryanites and Wilson
ties. hobnobbing in admiration of the
man who has his lance in rest against
the saloon. In all his twenty one years
of national life, Mr.. Bryan can recall
no occasion, numerous as such occasions
have been, of heartier character than
that Of last night in testimony of his
influence as public force.
viii the politicians associate this
demonstration with 19207 Has it any
bearing on that important year7 Mr..
Bryan is still young man. He has
taken no resolution against standing for
another presidential nomination. There
are Bryan men galore who think he will
ultimately reach the White House, and
are at his service at all times. He and
they think that New York has been per-
manently eliminated from the national
democratic equation, and that in future
the west and the south, where he has
already found his strength. will domi-
nate the democratic party. A new Bryan
boom may have been released; and, if
30, its progress will be watched with
much interest by both democrats and
republicans.
