No More War God mothers.

Exit the epistolary godmother. The
War Department, In forbidding all
officers and men to correspond with
strangers, has kicked Romance In the
face, and perhaps wisely.
In armies lacking the amusements
which are provided for American SOL
diers here and In France the god
mother was probably comfort. The
soldier without relatives found respite
from loneliness In letter from a
woman, even II he never knew her,
never would see her. But go many
palms have been taken by various or
CARNATIONS to cheer the American SOL
dier in his spare hours that godmoth-
ers are non-essentinls OF war. There
Is also a hidden danger, for the War
Department fears that not all god
mothers may be loyal:
Efforts are constantly being made by
strangers to ind soldiers with whom
they may correspond, in most cases In
nocently enough, but the opportunity
which might be offered to a wholesale
propaganda by we'll organised groups
Of enemy Bympathisers Is obvious"
The soldier will not miss the god
mother as much rs the godmother will
miss the soldier. He has a large and
active war with which to occupy his
mind. The godmother will miss the
thrill Of peerlng into the post office
box to see whether there is letter
for her from Upton or France. Per
haps she is twenty years older than
he: what Of It? He will never get
out to Br!ckville, NO., and he will re-
member her. through the pink note
paper, as beauty Of nineteen.

Colonel RoosEvELT's decision not to
become n candidate for Governor will
disappoint great number OF citizens,
not only in the Republican party, but
In other parties
Colonel ROOSEVELT embodies the
qualities Of unflinching patriotism,
fearless integrity and uncompromis-
ing intellectual problty which to-day
are most needed by the nation; but
his conception Of his duty Is one
which would make 1t impossible for
him to perform the functions Of Gov
ernor Of the state Of New York as his
conscience would require, and at the
snme time serve the nation In the
way he can serve 1t better than any
other private citizen In America.
In Colonel RoosEvELr's letter to At
torney.General LEWIS he makes plain
his understanding Of the RESPONSE
bility Of the office Of Governor. The
duties of that Office, he says, ARE not
only Of the highest Importance but
are also very exacting md onerous
and demand all Of any mans time and
energy; and whoever occupies the
place should devote himself whole
heartedly to the work, and therefore
his heart and soul and brain should
be wholeheartedly in the work" The
man who swears to fulfill the Cover
nor's duties to the best Of his ability
has no time for other serious engage
ments, and THEODORE ROOSEVELT is
not a man on whom an obligation,
much less on oath bound obligation,
rests lightly.
1t was for Colonel ROOSEVELT to
decide how he would serve his fellow
Americans: whether he should con-
tinue in the capacity Of private
citizen to guard their interests, or as
Governor of New York put himself
directly in the service Of the State.
He has chosen, and the matter Is set
tied; THEOpoRE ROOSEVELT Is going to
exercise the wide freedom that be-
longs to an American citizen. In the
same way he has always exercised
his rights.

GENERAL BUNDY'S MESSAGE.
Only From o Democratic Army Could
IL BE Sent.

To THE EpfToR OF THE SuN--Sir: Your
editorial article on the message Of IAN
! American General to his French ally
was very fine
When I first read the Generals mes
good Amerioanisn,, but not good soldier
Ing. After some reflection I concluded
! that It was typically good American
soldering.
The American soldier, whether private
or commanding General, Is different from
| any other soldier that lives. Thank God
for him
None Of our soldiers would under
stand" ia. as you say. "a sublime tribute
to the Americans" 1t summarizes the
| difference between soldiers fighting for
democracy and the minions OF a military
autocracy.
Tho American General expected his
soldiers to understand. He credited
them with the sense to understand his
part Of the Job as well as they under
stood their own. He desired not merely
their obedience to his commands, but
also their Intelligent confidence. sym
pathy and cooperation. That's what he
got. all right. He treated the soldiers as
men In human. democratic sense rather
than men as the term is used In military
routine.
Does the German officer expect or al
low his men to understand what they
are doing or why 1t Is being done
Certainly not They are not wanted to
think and are not capable Of doing so.
One Of Americas greatest accomplish
ments in the short time since April. 1917,
has been the creation OF a distinctly
democratic army, military in every true
sense, but typically human and Ameri-
| can. The officers respect, trust and
understand the men in the ranks. and
the soldiers not only follow and obey
their officers but they understand and
trust them as well.
Without weakening military efficiency
In the least. but rather increasing It.
our democratic institutions have evolved
hn army OF manhood and comradeship
possessing spirit that could no more
exist in the German military machine
than blood could flow through a bar Of
iron.
The American General has immortal
lied a qualification Of the American
soldier that cannot be weighed. counted
or analysed after the German fashion.
1t Is something more important In win
ming victories than arms. ammunition.
equipment. training or tactics.
The American General understands his
| soldiers; they understand him, and all
Of them understand their duty to civllisa-
ton and TO La Belle France.
Tho Kaiser and his Boches may never
understand. that Ia too much to expect.

Seniors ut Play.

1t is instructive to glance through
the Year Book Of the Seniors Golf
Association, that clan of sturdy play
ers who have lived f1fty-five years or
more and are proud of It. The roster
discloses that golfers from nineteen
States and the District Of Columbia
have achieved the happy distinction
Of membership; that from New Hamp-
shire to Texas, from New York to
Missouri they pack all their troubles
In the old golf bag and move annually
to fair Apawamis with youthful en-
thusiasm, determined to win prize
or have n glorious time trying to. Not
one Of them but succeeds In the lat
ter purpose.
In the home addresses of members
every New England State except
Maine is set down. What's the mat
ter with Maine? The Middle West
comes in strong with Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Indiana; the
South Is nearly as well represented
with Virginia, Tennessee, North Caro-.
lima and Texas. In number Of repre-
sentatlves New York naturally leads,
with New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts following close and
Pennsylvania not far behind.
Industrial and financial corpora
tons lead in the business vocatlons
represented, and lawyers and judges
in the professions, although doctors
Of divinity and Of medicine are not
lacking, and play sound golf.

faction in which the powers that he
are interested. The Secretary OF the
National Civil Service Reform League
says Of the measure:
This bill creates 100000 Jobs free
from all control. They are entirely In
the hands OF the Secretary of Commerce
and tho Director Of the Census. II has
been charged that both these officials
are ardent politicians--but do not con-
Germ myself with that, because II makes
little difference. They will be subject to
such hectorlng and badgering from poll
ticians In every quarter Of the country.
once they get this power OF appointment,
that It will be practically impossible for
them TO keep politics out Of the census,
even should they desire to DO so.
The jobs created begin January /,
1920. That Is a Presidential yenr. and
also Congregational year. 1t is not
impossible that the census Of 1920
will play a large part in the election
OF 1920.
"A hundred thousand Federal ONCE
holders, appointed by politicians. can do
good deal toward electing any Con-
gresham. or any President for that
matter. that they are told to assist. 1t
is a simple case OF using public office
for private and partisan political ends"
The bill Is so drawn that the M
ton would not even have the benefit
OF fair competition among oil Demo-
Gratis for the jobs. Only those Demo-
Gratis who happened to be aligned with
the faction in favor at Washington
would he eligible for appointment, and
thus the possibility of getting capable
men and women for difficult tasks
would be greatly reduced.
President WILSON hns said that pol.
itics Is adjourned; the Civil Service
Commission Is ready and able 10 pick
qualified and unbiased candidates for
the census bureau Jobs; and the Sen
nte hns chance now to undo the
work Of the partisan politicians in
the House. II 1t does not, Mr.. VIII
SON should veto the bill, for rs It
stands now 1t Is n vicious piece Of
spoils legislation, unfit for the statute
books Of the nation.
