NEW LEADERS NEEDED.

AlHOuSH IISoiuChI Wiiooh htso ioA
the past two years, during the acute
period OF our foreign troubles, had the
support of a majority of the members
Of both houses of congress, he has had
to contend with situation that never
before confronted any president in the
history of the country. The majority
leaders in both houses have been out
of harmony with the administration
and have sought to embarrass rather
than aid the president in carrying out
mis- wise policies for the protection of
American interests.
If there is one obligation that above
all others, rests upon the democrats
in the next congress, it is to displace
Kitchen as the house leader and Stone
as the senate leader where questions
Of foreign policies are involved. Claud
Kitchen is a very able man. He has
the requisite ability for leadership,
but he is wholly out Of harmony with
the administration. He is more in line
with Bryan's policy of pacifism than
he is with the presidents plan for
adequate defense. He has been I'M
willing to subordinate his own views
to the broader policies Of his admin
lstration and his party. lie has en-
barrassed the party. If he cannot act
In thorough harmony with majority
Of his followers he really ceases to
be leader.
Gum Shoe Bill Stone ought never
70 have been chairman of the great
committee on foreign relations in the
senate. 1t is a sad commentary on
our system of government that we
should carry politics to such an extent
that for purely partisan purposes we
displace one of the ability, the knowl-
edge, the scholarship, the American
loyalty and broad grasp of interna.
tional politics Of Henry Cabot Lodge,
to make place for Gum Shoe" Bill
Stone The latter is an adroit poll
tician. But he cares good deal more
FOR the sympathy and support of the
liquor interests and the German ele-
ment in Missouri than he does for the
rights Of American citizens. He has
never been loyal to the foreign policy
Of the administration. Just after the
murder of more than 100 Americans
on the Lusitania, Stone gave ont an
interview apoligizing for the German
atrocity.
Stone is an accident really as chair
nan of the foreign relations commit
tee. He Is also gruesome joke, a
,ravesty upon popular government. He
vas made chairman solely because he
was the ranking democrat on the COM
mittee. He was not promoted because
Of his ability or qualifications.
Here we have the remarkable spec.
tacle Of the president of the United
States Loyalty supported by Henry Ca
bot Lodge in all of his foreign policies,
while his own party chairman and
titular leader in the senate, is more
concerned that he give no offense to
Missouri Germans and st. Louis brew
ers than he is about the carrying on,
Of the presidents foreign policies.

BOARD OF CONTROL.

- II looks like someone or some inter-
est had made a desperate effort to
thoroughly discredit the Tennessee
Board of Control before the legislative
investigating committee. Every little
matter, every difference OF opinion,
ever purchase or contract made by the
board, has been the subject of the Sc
yerest scrutiny with seemingly the
object to magnify any slight irregu-
Iarity into scandal. Some minor
failures upon the part of the members
have been given wide publicity, but 1t
must be stated in all fairness that the
effort to break down and thoroughly
discredit the Board Of Control has alb
solutely failed. The members OF the
board have not, in any proof so far
Aeduced, been shown to have proven
faithless to their trust.
The suspicion in view of all that
has been said, and the efforts made to
discredit the board, is natural that
there has been some politics and that
Gov. Rye and his administration are
really the victims of this assault. The
establishing Of the board of control
and investing it with the administra-
tion Of all the states penal and chart
table institutions, was one of the
achievements of Gov. Rye's admins
fration to which he and his friends
have pointed with pride.' 1t was be-
1ieyed that one strong central board
could more efficiently and more eco.
lomically administer the several IN
Stitutions of the state than half doz-
en- boards. 1t was an effort to apply
uea1 business principles, the system
that governs private corporations, to
. department Of the state government.
III IL can be established that this board
has disappointed the expectations of
its authors, has been Wasteful, aXtrav-
agant, faithless and in short COM
plete failure, Gov. Rye will in large
measure be discredited. Now this
may be and probably is the real object
Of the desperate effort upon the part
OF certain politicians to find some
dining wrong" with the board. To
destroy the good opinion that the peo-
pie entertain for the largest business
enterprise of the governors admins
tration would assuredly be a body
blow to the political ambitions, If he
has any, of Tom G. Rye.
There must be mighty poor consola
ton to the enemies of the governor in
the quality of the disclosures" SO far
made, if this has really been the OBJ
5ect and purpose Of the attack. For
Afiy fair-minded and disinterested OBJ
server must agree that no proof has
been made public that would sustain
the charge that the board of control
system has failed. Neither Gov. Rye
nor his administration has suffered
one bit in the public estimation as a
result Of the committees investiga- |
ton. No graft or crookedness has !
been proven. 1t appears to the fair |
minded that the members of the board.

task and the fact that the system had |

bers.
