\ SHABBY PERFORMANCE

ANY disparagement to the suffrage cause
that the White House picketcrs may
have produced has been more than coun-
teracted by the conduct of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
This association indOrscs a wild story
that the President sent an anonymous ennis.
sary to interview picketcr in Jail at mid
night and dicker with her for "A cessation
of the demonstrations made at the gates
of his official residence. This yarn was cir.
cumstantal at -he most and at the least
not worthy of an official denial. But the
'antis,' in the bitterness Of their prospect
of certain defeat, give it official recognition
through their general secretary. If these
ladies are too refined to vote we should be
able to expect from them Il rather more
ladylilie attitude toward the Chief Execu-
tive.

PROPAGANDA A POETIC EPISTLE

TO the Editor of the Ercniug Public Lcd0er
Sir:
There are people who speak without thinking.
There are those who think well when they
speak
The former the well-meaning Yankee.
The latter the mean German sneak.
They will lie about Mr.. Hoover,
And they'll blackguard our President, too;
Tell of men in the camps who are dying
From the want of adequate food
They will tell you of these and of Others.
But need | remind you, my friend
OF the recent disaster in Russia
Caused by much of this talk without end?
l speak thus to the women,
And also likewise to the men,
So do your bit by mailing
These lies when you hear them again.
Be not like the people I mentioned.
. For this is time to think;
Think hard and long and often,
Lest from the cup of disaster you drink.

SHERLOCK HOLMES IN WRONG

VNIIE creator Of Sherlock Holmes has de.

uses Of hatred and fun measure of re-
taliaton, paying no attention to "plati-
tudinous bishops and gloomy deans" To
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's support comes
British jurist, Justice Eve, who covertly
sneers at President Wilson in speaking of
those pawky ndividuals--poltical and
others--who suggest that we have no
quarrel with the German people"
The Bishop of Winchester replies lit is
one of those endless London Times letter
wars), asking Sir Arthur if he has never
considered the simple distinction between
hatred of the sin and hatred of the sinner.
70 which Sir Arthur retOrts that that is
only a metaphysical distinction and that
he is going to go on hating Germans.
There is no need for Americans To worry
about all this, because only a few non
combatants such as Conan Doyle talk hate
in England, while the Englishmen in the
trenches talk and act like gentlemen.
But if we are to say, with Sir Arthur,
that the distinction between hating the
sin and hating the sinner is mere thin
metaphysics, then we must give up our
religion, for there never could have been
any Christianity without that thrilling and
revolutionizing distinction. 1t was only by
keeping that distinction ever in mind that
Christian America could go to war

The MILITARY MAHAN
Career of Colonel Repington, England's
Greatest Army Critic

FNiE resignation a few days ago of Lieu-
tenant Colonel Remington as military cor
respondent of the London Times brings this
DISTINGUISHED IN 'litprv critic 'rto the puhlc
eye once more. lie was the subject of contro-
Nersy early in the war when he wrote from
France that General French's army was in
dire need of high explosives. The nforma-
tion which he supplied led the Times to de-
mand that the muniton factories stop maxi
ing shrapnel and send explosives to the
armies in France which would match those
used by the Germans
The British public then began to ask who
Is Repington? 1t was easy to answer the
question, for his record is long and easE
accessible. His full name is Charles ACourt
ItepinGton. He was born in 1858 and was
educated at Eton and Sandhurst and entered
the army at the age of twenty. He served
in the Afghanstan campaign in 1883 and
won medal with three clasps. Ten years
later he fought in Burma and ten years later
stil he won honors IN the Sudan He became
lieutenant colonel in 1898. He was In
South Africa in the Boer war In 1S99-lsVo'
Nine years later he was made military at
tache of the British legations at Brussels
and The Hague and remained there three
years. He Is a commander OF the Order o'
Leopold, an officer of the Legion OF Honor
and e. NJ. q. When he retired from ms
post as military attache he devoted hlmseii
TO writing books and magazine articles on
military topics. He became military CORE
spondent of the Times and at the same time
acted as editor of the Army Review,
magazine published under the auspices OF
the British War Office.
His books include War in the Far Fast
1904-5," which was translated into Japaness
and published i'm Japan Imperial Strategy,
Peace Strategy" and "rhe Future OF Army
Reorganization" He has won for hlmsen
as critic of military matters reputation
In some respects comparable 10 that OF Al

critics, when he disputed assertions made ~
Parliament regarding the suitability OF tns
rife i'm use, said that while I'm the army ~
was never regarded as an expert or ~
authority either on rifles or rife-shoouns
But he has proved that he is an authoriIy

serve respect. HIS ability to put his hnksI

TAINTMEMA

Once my father said to me
Here's curious mystery
Every deed that is not right
In this house that's brought to light
Is not done it would appear
By somebody living here
Anyway it's always blamed
On total stranger named
'Taintmema.'
"Fingermarks upon the door
Muddy trackings on the floor
Books and papers out of place
Or a broken cup or vase
Or most anything that's named
For which some one should be blamed
When we ask who did it pray
we can hear somebody say
'Taintmema.'
First when father spoke to me
| pretended not to see
Just exactly what he meant
Still it caused me to repent
And the next time ! was blamed
For fault | was ashamed
To deny it. So today
You will never hear me say:
