Hyian Elected Mayor.

The election of John F. Hylan as
mayor of New York is being looked
upon by the country-at-large today as
a victory for the pro-Germans. This
feeling is due to the fact that during
the campaign the Mitchell campaign
committee saddled the bag of pa
trlotism and refused to allow any other
candidate the honor of helping carry
It, In other words, Mitchel's men
claimed that he was the only Simon
pure, true American administration
candidate, and that the election Of
either of the opposing candidates
would be victory for the kaiser.
Regardless of the truthfulness of
this campaign dope, the people of the
country accepted it as being true, and
therefrom results the feeling of dis
pleasure that covered the entire cour-
try this morning when it wa slearned
that Mitchell had been defeated and
that Tammany's man had been elect
ed.
The Journal-Herald is Of the opin-
ion that the real cause of Mitcheps
defeat was his known close relation
ship to the corporate interests Of New
York City. The very fact that his can
didaey was endorsed by Roosevel,
Root and Hughes was the best proof
IL the world that Mr. Mitchell was, in
deed, very friendly to the corporate
interests, and it was this, coupled with
the fact that he was not the nominee
of any party, that caused his defeat.
We see no reason why Mitchels defeat
should be looked upon as a victory
for the kaiser, although it is victory
for William Randolph Hearst-Way-

BAD NEWS FROM RUSSIA.

A longer war, a more gruelliue
struggle, our own burden multiplied
many times-that is the deduction from
the Russian disaster.
Each time one of the Allies weakens
or collapses. as Italy and Russia Il.
done, it becomes more certain that the
United States must shoulder the 10
tie others have discarded.
The overthrow of the Kerensky gov
eminent is German victory. A polit-
ical victory, it is true; but it is of
more value to Germany than a ire
mendous triumph on a Russian battle
field. We cannot tell from this dis
lance, unfamiliar as We necessarily are
with the actual facts, but it is even
probable that German intrigue figured
in the revolution.
1t is small wonder that the stock
market staggered under the shock OF
the news from Russia, because it is the
most discouraging information that
Laundering nation has yet contributed.
1t was more shocking, inasmuch as it
came when the idea was taking hold
that Russia was finding itself

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
The Men and the Women.

Surely it is not new thing that
the men of Georgia recognize" the
power of Georgia women Mrs Nellie
Peters Black, president of the Geor-
gia Federation of Women's Clubs,
could not have meant, when she said
the men were beginning to recog-
nize it, that they had failed to re-
cognize it during pears upon years.
Blind is the man who undertakes that
power. But there must not be any
tendency to array the sexes in oppo,
site camps.
Georgia women may demand and
may soon get the ballot, but any law
yer, whether man or woman, will tell
them they are favored by the laws
where any favoritism is shown, with
the one exception of the election laws.
And when that exception is eliminat-
ed, do the woman not fear-do they
net wish-that in so far as the sexes
are concerned that laws shall be made
impartial? Or do they wish to have
the privilege of the ballot while re-
tanning their many privileges?
Maybe if they gain the ballot and
hold to all the special privileges the
law gives them now, the time will
come when the men will complain
of being downtrodden, will demand to
be emancipated, and will carry on
campaigns to make men and women
equal In the sight of the law. And if
that time comes will the women who
new complain of not getting a square
deal deny the request CT mea?-Sa-

MAKING WAR ON THE DEAD.

The directors of grand opera in Ne =
York have announced that there viii
be no performances this season of any
German-composed opera. Nor viii
any singers of German nationality
be engaged.
This is an entirely different propo
sition from prescribing the Leader
OF the Boston Symphony orchestra be-
cause he refused to include The Star
Spangled Banner" in his program.
His act was essentially little, narrow,
unpatriotic and actually insulting. The
punishment is personal to him.
On the other hand, it is absurd
to blacklist an artistic achievement
because it has had a German birth.
Art belongs to no individual, nor
to any particular year, but to the
world for all time.
The German influence in the sphere
OF music has made music what it is
today. Grand opera was brought to
its highest perfection under the mast
erly stroke of Wanger. The sweetest
OF all melodies were written by Beet
hoven, and they will survive for all
ages. To Mozart, Strauss, Handel,
Schubert, and Schumann every per-
son with the love of music in his soul.
with an admiration for genius, owes
a great debt of gratitude. To at
tempt now to prohibit their music
were to order the sun to cease its
radiance and to tell the lily never to
bloom again.
Might as well try to expungs from
the record of literature the immortal
productions of Goethe, Schiller Heine
and the other mighty men of brains
whose works are a part of the
worlds treasures.
The idea is so preposterous it dis
gusts all reason. 1t bespeaks a mar
row vision and a degree of prejudice
both amazing and unwholesome. Be-
sides, We are not fighting dead men.
We have no war on Germans of cen
turtles ago. We have no quarrel
especially, with men of the caliber CT
the Germans just named Indeed, e
policies of Germany were committed
TO men like the great poets, musicians.
and writer's, now long since since
dead, we dare say Germany would to-
day be at peace with all the world
and a nation wholly unlike its pres
ent self
If the grand opera is worth while
at all--and as the expression of music
in its most cultivated form, it surely
is-it is creditable as whole, and It
were discreditable to parcel it out ao-
cording to national prejudices. Grand
opera is grand opera-it is art for
arts sake-whether written by a
Frenchman or an Italian or sung by
a German or Scandinavian.

atol Hardwick's record had anything

Why should the people judge him

cord we're going to find out how SEN

Do you think Tom Watson is a
good Democrat?
What is the best poker hand you
ever held?
Where were You when Wash
ington went dry?
Is your mind absolutely impair
