In this case 1t is c. Allan Gilbert,
who, with Charles Dana Gibson, Har-
rison Fisher, Hamilton King and
Howard Chandler Christy, has made
the American girl famous on canvas,
who has succumbed to the lure of the
photoplay, become film producer,
and announced his intention of bring
ing out a unique form of photoplay
which he calls "Silhouet Fantasies"
but which specifically speaking are
whimsical tales told in black and
white.
Nor is Mr.. Gilbert the only artist
connected with the project. Henry
Bryant, c. B. Falls and others of the
fraternity are assisting him, acting
as stage hands even, and are already
enthusiastic silhouet film fans.

(New York World9
 Whether viewed as a bid for the Presidency. key note for the stern and unbending stand-patters expression of opinion by veteran statesman retired last nights speech by Elihu Root to the regu lar Republicans Of New York cannot fail to be received with surprise.
 There is nothing in a Republican of any fac ton asserting the nfaby of that organizations high tariffs and its omn!potent to compel prosperity There is nothing original in the plea that Democrats lack capacity for government There nothing strange in the sympathy expressed for Huera, the Mexican de tator. who had many friends in the United States attached to him for business and others be- cause he too hated the President at Washington who denounced him.
 What is noval and startling in Mir Roots address is it's indictments to with Germany It is true enough that he his devotion to peace, but the words that he ascribes to peace few while those that make for many. With reference to Bel gium and again in regard the misuse of submarines he has nothing but rdicule for silence to the and the aboous processes of our diplomacy to the other and nothing to suggest in their place but action Although nacton is the crime of which he convicts the Wilson administration. every child in America knows that when nation refuses to and decides to its only appeal is to the sword.
 This Is the entire case of the statesman turned warrior He that we have been neutral between right and wrong; that we have not "backed" our di pomacy;" that threats have not been made good" that lost ideals and the support of the moral
  and most amazing Of all. that unprepared for war because nobody would listen to Messrs. Gardner Lodge, Stimson and Roosevelt, who immediately the desperate need of great army and navy and, he might have added, the occasion for using them.
 No two men in public life are more unlike than Mir Root and Mir. Roosevelt Yet here have the Roose- welt doctrine in the language Of Mir Root We miss of course the extravaganza and exaggeraton the arro- gance and buster. which the exPresident has edu cated his disciples but the contempt for negotiation the mpatience with delay the appeal to force the glor ficat.on of action Of any kind long is nasty and forcibe all to be found in the lawyers smoother phrases.
 How are we to account for Mir. Roots sudden conver sion doctrine that he before accepted? Have both branches of the Republican Party agreed to advo cate with Germany and the conquest of Mexico as the issues upon which with a candidate ready to fight for any cause they hope 70 win the support of the American people next November? If so ls Elihu Root the already chosen for leadership and is cohesion between the friends of MT Taft and the friends of Mir. Roosevelt possible the a-Roose- welt and all-war terms that he advances?

AT OLD TACTICS

The result of the present nOn-partsan election at Seattle. in which Mayor Gm received more than 5000 majority over the combined votes for the other three candidates would seem to make h unnecessary for the Mayor to lose his temper and resort tactics such have made many enemies for him in the pasta prac- tce that the Mayor had promised the people he had abandoned forever The trade he delivered against Austin F. Griffhs Saturday was entirely uncaled for and unnecessary.
 Grftths is a good citizen and able man He is ambitious for service in public place is true but so is Gin The latter has been an office holder can didate for municipal office constantly for about twenty years Grifnths first ran for office in Seattle eight years ago He served twice on the city council and Mayor Gin thought enough Of him appoint him chief orpolice When he resigned that office to become a candidate for Congress Mayor Gn accepted the resg- nation with regret These circumstances show how dicuIous are the personal charges that were made against him by the mayor.
 From political standpoint the attack of the Mayor was worse than foolish The business element of Seat te which largely supported D. Trenholme against Gill two years ago. has been behind Gin this years cam paisn. That is largely because the Mayor has made fairly successful effort keep the promises of reform that he made last year. This outburst temper which is so much like the old G that they thought they were opposing before, Is likely drive away support that had been gained by more or less exemplary conduct for the last two years
