case of vacancy, and that method is
not appointment by the governor. 1t
is election by the voters.
In order for Governor Philip to
appoint a man to fill vacancy such as
now exists, he would have to be specif-
ically authorized to do 80 by the legis-
lature, and even then, the appointee
would hold only until the next general
election.
And then, after all is said, it remains
true that the Federal government has
provided that United States senator's
shall be chosen by popular vote.
The sum named by the governor as
the probable cost of special election
would be about ten cents, or a little
less, for each person in the state.
We are not willing to sell our vote to
the governor for ten cents Let us
have the regular order

EXTRAVAGANZA PERFECT0.

AT this particular time when economy
in all things is being constantly urged
by federal officials and commissions,
pamphlet after pamphlet, large and
small, are being issued by the same of
fcials and commissions with every
other pare blank This means the
using up of twice as much paper as is
necessary. OF course the number
printed is immense, tons of it, as circu-
lation is general throughout the country,
and rs the cost of paper is more than
twice what it was in ordinary times,
the style thus adopted displays the
rankest kind of extravaganza the ex-
IRENE opposite Of the economy
preached. Consistency is a jewell"
just as much now as when first pro-
claimed.

LOW MORALS IN DIPLOMACY.

We have within the past few weeks
had many fresh disclosures of the per-
fidious character of German diplomacy.
1t is conceivable that Germany's de-
lusions as TO her destiny might have
impeled her to an attempt to dominate
the world. believing that the world 5
best welfare required the authority of
the one nobly superior nation of modern
times. But the student of history eX-
poets to find some redeeming traces of
really noble spirit, when great
race goes forth to conquer because 1t
follows the star of high destiny 1t
has taken us several years to find out
how ignoble and devoid of self-respect
and honor has been this latter-day Ger
man policy, that has substituted
schemes and plots and intrigues for the
diplomacy that would befit high-souled
and masterful nation. The Russian
Revolution came as the reaction from
an intriguing German diplomacy that
centered about the Empress and the
traitors at the Cars court. 1t would
be an agreeable relief to find a few
bright, clean pages in the recent record
of Berhns diplomatic dealings. Much
of the effort Of the japanese commission
to this country during recent weeks
has been given to an exposure of the
plots by which German diplomacy was
trying to make trouble between the
United States and Japan. We have
had recent revelations Of vulgarly per
tidious diplomatic methods on Germany
part in Mexico, Argentina, and else
where. The manner in which Germany
has comprised the integrity Of Sweden's
diplomatic relations. while humiiating
to the Swedish people, is to be laid
wholly at the door of Germ8ny's I'M
scrupulous official methods. Never in
modern times has there been so odious
an employment of spies and secret
agents; and we have now 3 greater
mass still accommodating evidence
to show how the German Foreign Office
has subsidized a propaganda TO affect
American public opinion, while also
substituting sabotage, incendiarism and
widespread felony From the Progress

In is estimated that special election
for United States Senator would cost
the state about ten cents vote.
Whereupon the Philippines advocate an
appointment by the governor to nil the
vacancy. Why not also advocate that
the governor remit to each voter ten

privilege being vested in him? But
where is the patriotic citizen who would
sell for ten cents his vote on such an

Paris.-Poltcal happenings have
succeeded one another so rapidly in
Russia that French correspondents
there have had little time to do more
than occupy themselves with them, and
descriptive articles from those jour
nalistS have been few regarding the
effect of the revolution On the mass
of the people and its results in the
provinces and among the peasants.
One or two articles, however, have ap-
peareG which throw some light on the
mentality Of the Russians, regarded as
50 different from that Of other Euro
peanS.
Robert de f'lerS associate editor Of
the Figaro and now attached to the
headquarters staff of the Roumanian
army, has had months Of study Of the
Russian troops serving in conjunction
with those Of Roumunia. Here are
some anecdotes from his latest article:
There is a fine lake somewhere in
the south of Russia which Is connected
by channel with smaller lake,
where huge carp are raised. The chan
mel was barred by nets to prevent the
carp from passing into the larger Lake,
and, as food does not reach the troops
In the district too plentifully nor in
great variety, the officers were glad
to vary their mess with the fish.
One day some hundreds of soldiers
were gathered in a meeting-One sf

Suddenly-there was rush toward
the lakes and, with cries Of "SlObOdn J"

the men began to pull out the barriers

but the soldiers took little notice OF

A noncommissiOned officer explained
the matter. 'FiSn are Gods creatures

right to liberty. But men can talk and
so have made the revolution, while

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
SchWab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He Ia Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
M. Schwab, the president OF the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of tho
most fOrceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table, said he believed 1t, and
then told this story:
About the time that SchWab was
buying Bethlehem Steel, and had made
arrangements with Pliny Fisk Of New
York. To handle the bonds, he went
over to New Work, and, Of course. was
entertained at q dinner. There he
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
THAT will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write It out for me when you
reurn. SO | shall make an accurate
statement"
Mr.. SChWab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what You said?"
II did" responded the steel master.
II wrote the exact words"
"Wel," answered Mr. Fisk, much
disconnected, you should have spoken
them into a phonOgraph."
