We must insist that our senators
and representatives stop playing poll
tics and give attention to the work at
hand. They should become students
of those questions Of which they are
ignorant. They should drop petty
chickering's and stop trimming their
sails for the elections thai are to
come to pass next year or year after
next.
The spirit at the national capital
should go down to the state capitals.
In the states through which The
Commercial Appeal circulates we
have had more politics and less bust
ness for several years. The politics
Of Mississippi, Arkansas and Ten
nessee especially. have been factional
and personal. The public mind has
been given over to onlceholding rath-
err than to state building.
omces no longer seek men, but the
men are choking the lanes that lead
to ONCE.
And what is true Of the state must
be true OF The counties in the state
and Of the cities in the counties. We
must have a cessation Of machine poll
tics in Shelby county and in the city
of Memphis.
Our politicians must stop taking ten
minutes out Of every hour figuring on

ceeded, the greatest calamity since
the Mongol conquests would have be-
fallen civilization.
The credit belongs to Joffre. the
general who is now upon our soil.
The strategy he employed provided
the only chance Of a successful re-
sistance. Thanks to it, to the tactical
genius of Foch, the originality of Cal
lieni, the defense of de Castelman be-
fore Nancy, the German despot was
foiled.
France was saved thereby-by
Joffre and his captains and his men
by Gods will, too. And Britain was
saved, and also. America. Democracy
and liberty on that field of the Marine
preserved themselves as upon the field
of Chalons centuries ago civilization
resisted the other and original Hun.
This good nan and modest citizen
of France, who is here, is the great
Marshal Joffre.
