At the Tomb of Washington.

Americas shrine of patriotism, the
tomb of George Washington, has been
visited by many distinguished persons,
of all lands, but it was never the scene
of a more impressive ceremony than
yesterday, when representatives Of Eng
land and France, now visiting this coun-
try as missioners of the new alliance
for the maintenance of democracy in
the world, placed on the last resting
place of the great American wreaths
symbolic of their own peoples appre-
citation of his services to mankind.
The simple words of appraisal of
Washington's character and services ut
tered by NJ. Viviani, Mr.. Baifour and
Gen. Joffre were eloquent of the new
spirit Of unity animating the three ma
tons in this supreme crisis. Especially
significant were the phrases Of Mr.. Bal
four, representing the. power against
which Washington fought in the war of
the revolution. There is no British feel
ing today for Washington save one of
admiration. There is nothing but un-
Outstanding that he was the agent Of an
irresistible force making for the crea-
ton Of a new power.
Between France and Washington there
was always strong bond of sentiment.
Lafayette, whose services to the colo
nists were of value and were greatly
appreciated, was personally beloved by
Washington. He was a guest at Mount
Vernon. His gift, one of the keys of
the Bastille, regarded as symbolic Of the
establishment Of freedom in France, is
one of the most interesting relics in the
mansion. Every Frenchman couples the
two names with affection.
The wreaths placed on the tomb yes
terday will remain as eloquent tokens Of
the ties that now bind the three ma
tons firmly together. They will serve
to the American people as an inspira-
ton to dedicate themselves to the strug-
gle that now confronts them with the
high resolve of Washington and the
heroism and devotion Of the British and
the French, who are carrying today the
burden of war in the conflict for human
liberty.

Roosevelt and Bryan.

Mr.. Roosevelt's slogan is felicitous
Farm. and arm" fits the emergency like
a glove. The author, by the way, al,
though lacking a smooth style, has q
happy knack at phrasemaking. Several
of his mintages while he was President
were excellent, are still in use, and will
live long.
I Now that we have entered the war
ard the necessities and our deficiencies
stand disclosed, farm and arm is what
we must do. We are not armed, and
our farming is on far too small scale
We must mend our ways in both par
ticulars. Soldiers indifferently equipped
and a civil population scantily fed would
be lasting reproach to us. Moreover
no delinquency would be more likely to
bring our institutions to the ground
with crash. :.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done more in this
matter than make a phrase. He has
cut out work for two men who, above
oil oehSio III bhiS dit iloSt zap
able of performing it. He himself is
one of them.
Mr.. Bryan is the right spokesman for
more farming. His influence has always
been in the farming sections. 1t was
not established, it is true, with farming
as the subject; but in presenting other
subjects he won large followings in the
agricultural belts, and he has now only
to present that subject in his own way
to secure a sympathetic hearing. For
tunately, he has the work in hand; and
Mr.. Roosevelt's slogan should hearten
him in his activities.
As heartener of men for war, Mr..
Roosevelt would execute a rowing COM
mission better than any other man in
the country. He has impressed himself
on young men-those within the enlist
nent age-more deeply than any of his
fellow leaders. In their eyes he stands
for energy, action, enthusiasm and gen.
eral o-aheaditiveness. They are all at
tention when he either writes or speaks
on topics relating to sports, adventure
by forest or field, or war.

Of Mr.. Wilson to the governorship of
New Jersey, he controlled the state ma
chine. But when Mr.. Wilson threw his
influence to Mr.. MARITIME for the Senate,
thereby defeating Mr.. Smiths ambition
to return to that body, the Smith influ-
ence began to wane, and seems now to
have disappeared.
Nor does Mr.. MARITIME figure in the
story. Can it be that he also is definite
" out of politicsf He is too young a
man for the shelf His one term in the
Senate gave him much satisfaction.
While in Office he made many friends.
He lost the Presidents favor, but on
issues which he was able to quote the
party platform in support Of. And last
year, notwithstanding the breach, he
canvassed in the interests Of Mr.. Will
SON, and did all he could at home,
though without success, to change the
Hughes into Wilson tide.

New Jersey.

James R. Nugent of New Jersey
sometimes called Boss Nugent-is again
in opposition to the national admins
tration. Local measures favored by the
Presidents friends are not favored by
him, and "scrap"-an old -fashioned
Jersey Scraps said to be on the
card.
Interest in the matter is the greater
because of the report that the Presi-
dents private secretary will direct the
anti-Nugent forces. Mr.. Tumulty was
reared in Jersey politics, and undoubted-
" knows the game. His absence from the
state the greater part of the past four
years, while putting him slightly out of
touch with, cannot have dulled his CON
Germ about, home affairs, and the cam
paign. if he undertakes it, should de-
selop him in his old FORM
Mr.. Nugent did not "stay put" very
long. Last year when it was announced
that he had arrived in the Wilson camp
there was much rejoicing in democratic
circles in the state, and feeling aroused
that New Jersey would vote for Sec
ond term for the President. But she
did not. She gave Hughes a humping
majority. That Mr.. Nugent did his best
for the democratic ticket has never been
questioned. But his best was not good
enough; and now he is OFF the reserva-
ton again.
Former Senator Smith does not fig
ure in the story, and there is a be-
lief that he is definitely out Of poll
tics. For many years he was q power
in his party, and, as late as the election,

An American Force for France.

Gen. Joffre's expression Of hope that
the flag of the United States will soon
be unfurled on the fighting line in
France is echoed by the American peo-
pie. There is virtually no dissent from
the thought that it is Americas duty to
be represented at the front. But Gen.
Joffre, of course, understands perhaps
better than any American that it would
be futile and dangerous to send untrain
ed, unready troops into the trenches,
whatever their banner. There is no such
emergency in France today as to war
rant rushing American regiments and
divisions over there without preparation.
In the first place there are no troops
who can actually be spared. The exist
ing army must be utilized as nucleus
for the creation Of the new force, about
to be brought into being under the law
just in process of enactment. The most
urgent need today is for officers to COM
mand and train the newly recruited
ranks. The men who are actually fit to
60 abroad now may be put to better
use at home for some time in the max
ing of the greater army.
England was criticised in the early
stages of the war for not sending more
men into France, for holding such large
numbers in the training camps at home.
Lord Kitchener knew perfectly well the
necessity Of delay. He knew that SOL
der could not be made merely by uni
forming and arming him, and that men
taken from civil life required harden
ing and drill before being charged with
responsibilities at the front The United
States must follow this example and pre-
pare its army thoroughly. 1t would be
lamentable to place in France division
Of undertrained men only to have them
fail physically for lack Of proper pre-
liminary instruction and camp practice.
It might be possible effectively to send
American recruits into France to serve
behind the lines, to receive their training
on the ground while serving in various
capacities, perhaps to relieve English and
French forces capable Of and needed
for work in the front ranks. But such
a force should not be sent to the detri-
ment of the main work of creating the
great army at home which may prove
to be the final determining factor in the
war.

Adjust the Details Speedily!

The overwhelming votes by which the
army bin passed the two houses of Con-
gress Saturday night should serve as a
guarantee of speedy action in clearing
up the differences between. the houses
in their respective drafts. In a total
of $40 votes, 478 were cast in favor of
the plan to raise an army by selective
draft against 80. 1t was thrilling dem
onstration of the determination Of the
American people to press onward in this
fight thoroughly and Systematically, with
every American in line for duty.
The differences are those of detail
Chief among them is the matter of age
limits, the House holding for a range
of from twenty-one to forty and the
Senate placing the maximum at twenty.
rules to discuss this and other matters
at length, notwithstanding the fact that
the bill has passed. The supervention
of the House bill, as a matter Of legis.
aative routine, opens the doors to pos.
sible delay. But there will be no patience
with those who undertake to check this
vitality important piece Of legislation by
pressing now their particular theories
and proposals, all of which have been
discussed in the general debate.
Whether the age limit matter is set.
tied by the acceptance of one or the
other maximum or by compromise be.
tween the two, the adjustment should
be effected promptly. 1t is urgent that
the United States begin as soon as pos
sible the work of army organization.

The town Of Cody, Wyo., went into
mourning for the man whose name 1t
had honored. Business in the town
was suspended, and a telegram was
sent Mrs. Decker by w. 8. Owens,
the mayor. in behalf Of the citizens.
His remains will be placed in q
vault until Decoration day when they
will be moved to their last resting
place on Mount Lookout.
Col. William F. Cody was born in
Scott county, Iowa, Feb. &c, 1886. He
was of Spanish, English and Irish an
cestry.
His father was killed in an en-
counter growing out Of a slave dis.
pute. and at the age OF ten, young
Cody found himself at the head of 4
family. He obtained his first employ
ment as a courier between freight
wagon trains operating between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains. In turn he became wagon
master, trapper. hunter. pony express
rider and s%tagecoach driver. All the
positions gave him a wide experience
in the life which later was to make
him famous.
He served in the Union army in the
war between the states as a conf
dant and scout. In the desultory
fighting in the Southwest near the end
of the war he earned for himself the
name Of master scout and guide.
These qualifications soon brought
him to the attention of ranking gen.
erals Of the Union army and secured
for him the appointment as chief Of
scouts in the United States army dur
ing the numerous Indian campaigns
against the northern Sioux. His
career in this capacity identified him
with the great fighting epoch between
the Indians and the white men waged
by Gen. Sheridan.
With the advance Of civilization far
Their west. Col. Cody found his occu-
pations on the plains fast decreasing.
He then went on the stage, where he
remained for several years, playing in
dramas depicting Western life. Later,
In association with Nate Salisbury, he
organized his wild west show, with
he toured the United States
and Europe for many years. In
Europe he was entertained by royalty.
He entered politics on a small plane
and in 1872 was elected to the Ne
braska Legislature. In 1866 he was
married to Miss Louisa Frederick.
