ern candidate had to depend on the west
for success. Their man was beaten at
home, but saved by the west.
The west and the middle country con-
tain some good men Of presidential size,
Either party could At itself out worry
well in that quarter. Either might have
done 50 last year, except that in each
case tho man stood indicated by con-
siderations altogether above his habitat
Mr.. Wilson's denomination was impera-
tive, while the nomination Of Mr..
Hughes was as much western as eastern.
Oregon had spoken for him before New
York found her voice. When tho test
came at Chicago the nomination which
might have been made on the second
ballot was made with ease on the third.
But New York, while "chesty," is still
in the ring, and will remain there. She
has no thought Of effacing herself, or
Of being effaced. A feature Of the ap-
preaching mayoralty campaign in the
metropolis is the calculation Of Tam
many to regain control Of the town as a
preliminary to regaining control Of the
state, and that as a step toward present
ing the name of New Yorker to the
next democratic national convention.
The west has not heard the last Of the
east on the subject Of the presidency, or
Of party domination.

New York and "Chestiness."

Representative Heating Of Colorado,
who was among the speakers invited to
address Tammany on the 4th instant, is
quoted as saying to the braves and their
other guests:
POLITICALLY, New York has been too
chesty, and 1 am rather glad you folks
in November failed to deliver the goods.
We in the west believe that the men
who jumped -four from 81 to SIT, jump
ed sugar from cents to 10 cents a
pound, jumped coal 200 to 300 per cent
are more dangerous than the kaisers
submarines"
This from a guest was frank out of
the ordinary. But Mr.. Heating is from
the west, where frankness rules, and
Tammany is accustomed to plain speak
ing, even at its own or its sections ex.
pense. Fourth Of July orators in Tam
many Hall wear neither muzzles nor col.
lars. They say what they please.
"Chesty" is charge often brought
against New York, and is applied to
both parties. Last November's election
returns were construed in the west and
in the middle country as rebuke to
New York's "chestiness." We shall hea,
moro on the subject as time passes.
There are politicians now trying "a
persuade themselves that neither party
will choose its presidential candidate
from the east in 1920. The republican.

Agreeable Reminiscence,

One night the clouds obscured the moon
The wind swept DER the hill.
Old Boreas sang noisy tune,
And gave US all chill.
The snowflakes swift came tumbling out
At last Ive found out why;
It's something fine to think about
Just now in hot July
The sleet came singing with the blast
The windows shook all night;
The landscape was a desert vast,
All, cold and still and white.
1t serves a purpose, after all,
Which then it seemed to miss.
The scene is pleasant to recall
At such time as this.

it considerably. A conference was thus
made necessary, and it developed bitter
feeling. Some friendships were broken
and many severely strained. At one
time failure Of tho bill in conference
looked likely.
At this juncture an appeal was made
to Mr.. Cleveland. His sympathies were
with the House. He wanted it to win
The leader Of the House-W. L. Wilson
was one Of his nearest friends. The
leader Of the Senate-Mr. Gorman-had
incurred his displeasure.
Mr.. Cleveland responded, but in terms
SO extreme he hurt rather than helped
the House. The Senate resented both his
interference and the charges he made.
and under Mr.. Germans leadership stood
to its guns more stoutly than ever.
The contest lasted some days, and the
Senate won. Mr.. Cleveland's disap-
pointment was so keen he refused to
sign the measure. But he did not ven
ture veto.
That was Mr.. Cleveland's first signal
defeat. He had only the year before
won his fight against free silver coin
age, and had entered this tariff fight
with great prestige and much confidence.
But from the day he failed to put the
Wilson tariff bill over, his influence with
his party in Congress declined, until
toward the close of his term it disap-
peared altogether. Never by his own
confession an authority on the tariff,
but only an advocate in generalities Of
a low revision, he was induced to enter
the arena when details were at issue.
As consequence, he tripped, and SO
badly he was never able to recover
power over his divided party.

Specializing Agencies.

Coordination of the various Ameri-
can agencies for dealing with espionage
is one of the first necessities of the sit
uation disclosed in the recent proof that
spies are sending the most confidential
information to Germany of the military
plans of this government. At present
the "secret service is divided. The
State Department has a force Of this
character, the Department of Justice an
other and the Treasury still a third,
each with it's own particular task in
peace time, but all working on the spy
line now that the country is at war. In
addition to these organizations the Post
Office Department has corps Of inspec-
tors who have done considerable work
in tracing the activities of foreign
agencies.
What is chiefly needed by this coun-
try today is military information"
service combining all of the activities
of the various departmental groups into
single co-ordinating body. This is not
to suggest that the espionage that has
been practiced here since war was de-
clared is due to any failure on the part
of the different Specializing forces to
measure up to duty. 1t is, however, evil
dent that with a closer organization
the general situation can be more dis
tinctly viewed and better handled.
There is no occasion for hysteria on
the ground of possible espionage in this
country. The public is, however, in a
position to render service to the gov
eminent by keeping alert and giving in
formation of anything that is of a sus-
picious character. In England in the
first days Of the war veritable spy
mania prevailed, and many innocent
people were taken in custody on unjust
suspicion. This need not be done here
if there is sound central organization.
The spy question is quite distinct from
that of press censorship. A capable spy
has little use for the printed news.
What he wants is news that is not print
ed, that is kept from the papers, the
most confidential facts. He wants plans
and projects, dates and details, all of
which it is improper in time of war for
the newspapers to publish. Thus the
spy hunt must start from we'll inside
: the governmental organization. 1t
must cover all the possible mediums Of
communication. If the situation can
not be dealt with otherwise rigid CEN
sorship over the mails and the trains
and the wire and wireless forms of
Transmission will be required. But
whatever else is done the government
must make it impossible for the most
valuable and confidential secrets to reach
the enemy.

Revenue and Arbitration.

Public interviews and private CONVEX
sations indicate that the conference
committee on the revenue measure will
have something to talk about. Both
House and Senate will enter the con
ference very much in earnest and very
far apart. 1t may take some time for
them to get together. The country will
indulge them reasonably. An equitable
general assessment is desired.

in such emergencies has come to be ex-
pected. His party friends in Congress

Making More Enemies.

Germany continues the gentle art of
making enemies" in her peculiarly un-
gentle manner that has become SO in
famous since the beginning Of the war.
Not content with the sinking of supply
ships without warning, the ships of
neutrals as well as belligerents, she is
now running amuck on the seas, sink
ing everything in sight in absolute full
fillment of the threat conveyed in the
unrestricted submarine warfare procla-
nation of last January It would seem
that If any vessels were to be treated
with consideration it would be those of
Sweden, from which country Germany
has received such valuable supplies
since the blockade began and which has
been perhaps Germany's best friend
among the neutrals. But not even
Swedish vessels are immune from the
sravages Of the submarines. 1t is re-
ported from Stockholm that German
submarines are operating against Swe-
dish fishing fleets off the northern coast
of Norway, and that four of the little
vessels have lately been sunk. Just
. what object has been gained by this
course of destruction is obscure. The
only plain fact is that Germany is max
ing enemies for herself in Sweden, and
she can i'll afford today to add to the
list Of her foes, notwithstanding the pc.
culiar view held by some in Berlin that
the greater the array Of enemies con-
fronting Germany the greater Ger
many's honor.

Our Foe.

We in the United States must bear
in mind at all times that we are fight.
ing ruthless, dangerous foe in Ger.
many, and that We are exceptionally
fortunate in the pitching of the fight in
Europe rather than in this country and
the interposition Of the broad Atlantic
between the bases Of German barbarism
and our own cities. We must remem-
Der that if we do not win the war for
our allies and ourselves Germany will
visit upon us injuries such as those she
has inflicted upon Belgium and France
and England.
It is we'll to steel ourselves against
our sufferings certain to be endured in
this war by a recollection Of the hor-
rors from which we will surely suffer if
Germany is not defeated to the point
Of inability to maintain a military au-
tocracy. We are fair open mark for
punishment if the enemy ever gets with
in range. If the German feet leaves its
bases and crosses the sea our losses will
be appalling. If the submarines null
tiply and get beyond their present range
of effective operation we will lose many
lives and enormous values.
Let every true tale Of German devas-
tation-and they are frightfully true
be read thoughtfully by Americans. Let
them study the stories Of German air
raids upon England and the killing Of
women and children, the firing by sub.
marines upon boats filled with survivors
Of torpedoed ships, the imprisonment Of
over a score Of Belgians as punish.
ment for certain indignities imposed
upon Germans resident in the Belgian
Kongo. Let them read Lord Bryce's re.
port Of the atrocities committed by the
Germans in Belgium, report tho truth
Of which has never been disproved and
which shows human nature at its lowest
vilest stage.
It has been said that we must hate
our enemies thoroughly in order to beat
them. This is German doctrine, and to
certain extent it is peculiarly true,
but the American adaptation Of it is not
inspired by the same thought that
causes the ruling statesmen at Berlin
deliberately and systematically to cul.
tiyate hatred Of England and now Amer
lea in the breasts Of the German people
It is necessary, for the people Of this
country to realize the necessity and size
of the task to which they have set
themselves, not to hate the Germans
but to fear them, to fear repetitions
in this country of the damnable deeds
they have committed elsewhere.
