Another Trench Taken

There is pathos in the rout of "The
Tines and the swift capture of Centra!
Park by the war. "Over our dead
bodies!' was the defiant cry from Times
Square. Whereupon, while headlines
cracked (rivaling the great drive) and
editorials (second only to the shipping
problem) doomed, the trenches were car
rled without a casualty. Editors Sur
prised and Taken in Dugout" would be
the trench equivalent of the episode, we
suppose.
1t was all, of course. foredoomed and
inevitable 1t was therefore pathetic.
But the gain is worth the sacrifice Not
only "The Times" can learn from the
blunder There are many other esti-
mable souls who can find in it lesson
that goes to the root of the war. lesson
without which, duly learned digested and
become part of our blood and fibre, we
can never hope to win the war. The
particular issue, trenches or no trenches
IN Central Park, is small. The principle
is as big as the Great War
There Is only one way to VIM That
IS oy nghtlng with all our might, using
every resource, to the last muscle and
dollar. BY this standard we, as a nation,
have hardly begun to fight. The mere
Tact that great paper like "Thc Times"
could break its heart over using a a,smal
bit OF park to help win the war shows
just how much further we have still to
advance. "The Times" was, Of course,
ridiculous. But any number of us hold
equally ridiculous reservations with re-
spect to the war. Hardly one of us but
has his own little Central Park that he
hates to yield up to the common cause.
Ecerything for the uor' That should
be the motto of each of us. Let us bc
glad that "Thc Times" has made the
point clearer to us all.

Warner Miller

Warner Miller's death revives MANY
fading memories. He was prominent
figure in one Of the most sensational
comedy melodramas in American politics
that which ended the political career of
Roscoe Conkling. Miller was not elected
United States Senator to succeed Conk
ling, as many obituary sketches of him
sad. lie was chosen to succeed Thomas
{. Platt-the ''me, too," of that viva
cious period. The man who succeeded
Conkling was Elbridge G. Lapham. Who
remembers him now?
Miller and Lapham were both Rcnrc-
sentatlves IN Congress, and were chosen
after the memorable and scandal-tinged
deadlock at Albany in 1881 because thew
were both politically colorlcss. But War
ner Miller had the stuff in him to become
more coorful and to stay in politics for
dozen years thcreafter-and, so far as
tins state was concerned, very near the
top. Platt mannuvred him out of the
Senate III 1887, his seat going to Frank
Hlscock But he got the Republican NOM
lnation for Governor in 1888 and "fc1l
outside the breastworks," as BENJAMIN
Harrison put it (whilc Harrison himself
went over the top), chiefly because he
had aroused the implacable hostility Of
the liquor interests He remained ono
of the big Four" of New York dclega-
tions to Republican national conventions
until after 1892.
Miller was finally shunted into a cor
ner by Platt, the Easy Boss" who want
ed no one about him inclined to sti. mn
uneasiness. He was anything but p1att,s
equal In the sordid politics of that dav
But looking backward he appears far
less mediocre than Platt does. He had
the courage to lead a fight in this state
Tor high license at a time when the ca
loon was much more potent political
agency than it is to-day. That NAV NOT
have been good politics, but it. showed
sturdiness Of fibre and a mind omen TO
the future.
In the same way Mr.. Miller eagerly
took up the project of a trans-istbm;an
canal, by way Of Nicaragua, giving his
energy and large share of his fortune
to an enterprise which was the necessary
forerunner of American acquisition OF
french rights at Panama. This was fine
and dislnterested public service. which
ilnds no parallel in the career of the
Easy Boss" by whom he was eventually
shouldercd off the stage.

The Neu Leader
By P. w. Wilson,
Of The London Daily Ne7fs

WV Of>t'toCft
the ere Of one of the most momentous
struggles IN all. her tragic history.' SO
prophesled the successor Of John he'd

terdnce as chairman of tie irish Ndt!on-
alst party. The foloaring article giues
q vir1d picture Of this ne1c, old leader,
come to po1oer at most critical hour m
1he fortunes Of ireland.
"A N p. DEVLIN, the Nationalist member
w for West Belfast, has acted wisely
in proposing that his friend and
possible rival, Mr.. John Dillon, be elected
leader of the Nationalist party, in success
sion to Mr.. Redmond. The long tragedy of
Irish politics would have been sadly ac-
centuated if there had been any dissenson
between two men who. with Mr.. Redmond,
have formed for years the governing
triumvirate Of the Nationalist cause. Hap
PLY, there is no danger Of such bitterness,
and one question will be whether Mr.. Dill
Ion can win back the ever-truculent and
epigrammatc Tim Healv- with his COM
rade, William O'Bren. | doubt it, and
perhaps it does not very much matter. tor
these domestic quarrels within the Nation
alist fold concern chiefly q past that can
never return. whereas Mr.. Dillon's rela-
tions with Ulster-I may add Mr. Devlin-
affect the future. And the future is critical.
Mr.. Dillon is siXty-seven years old; Mr..
Devlin is twenty-five years younger; and
this fact in itself is a reason why Mr.. Dew
lin should bide his time. Much the same
situation arose in 1894, when Gladstone
tired leaving Sir William Harcourt and
Lord Rosebery to fight out the Liberal sue
cession Lord Rosebery was much the
younger man, but he grasped the honor, in
stead of waiting his turn, and wrecked both
his party and his career. In due course Mr..
Dcvlin will have his opportunity His grip
of industrial problems in Ireland and his
forceful oratory mark him out for high re-
sponsibility. But Mr. Dillon knows the
House of Commons better. He is more
accomplished pariamentarian. And while
Mr.. Devlin probably surpasses him at
set speech. this only means that in the
technique Of ordinary routine Mr.. Dcvlin
has still, as it were, to rpen. A few years
Of apprenticeship will soldify his world
wide reputation.

Dillon in Debate

During Mr. Redmond's illness Mr.. Dillon
acted as deputy leader. But his tone was.
as rule, sharper than that Of his absent
chief. pitless critic of Lord Northcliffe.
he hates both the Asquith and the Lloyd
George coalition and yearns for party gov
ernment back again Liberal or Conserva-
tve-with a regular opposition ready to
take its place. He has become rather a
discursive speaker-too much so, perhaps
and he may have to check his tendency to
hammer in his points. instead of merely
stating them. His soul loves a clear issue
and he mistrusts methods of parleying
with the enemy, like the conference sitting
at Dublin. of which he was not a member.
Sometimes he displays a melancholy de-
spondency which is picturesque. but not
perhaps, quite helpful. 1t is no wonder.
After all. he has seen so many disappoint-
ments fall on Ireland.
Redmond was Lansdowner and a Tory.
Dcvlin is really Labor man, with touch
of socialism. Dillon is a merchant and a
Liberal. He is keenly interested in free
DOM not only in Ireland but throughout the
world. Dependent for some of his state
ments on his friend and namesake Dr. T.. J.
Dillon, he has spoken strongly about Balkan
affairs, and especially about Greece and Ru-
mania. should expect that he would fol-
