cided to cast his lot with the Algiers

. ago.

be counted upon to help in civic en-
terprises and to boost the town. He
is a native of New Orleans, born

ing of his profession.

Schroeder and there are two fine
children, a boy and girl. which go
to make up their happy little family.

Morgan Lines of boats and he has
been in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Company since eighteen hun
dred and eighty.
Capt. Pettigrove is so intimately
associated with the Morgan Line OF
boats that it is hard to disassociate
him with the work of plotting theil

Even If it stood by itself on the
records of these war times, the case
of the Norwegian bark stiinder and
its abandoned crew would be suff-
cient to convict German frightful-
ness of outdoing piracy in point of
ruthlessness. Such is the conclusion
one must reach who reads the plain
story of the bark's crew who have
lust reached New York after long
days and nights of torturing, heart
breaking struggles in an open life
boat.
There were seventeen men on the
Stifnder when she left New York,
bound for Australia, September 26.
They took to boats october 10, when
a German submarine first looted and
then sank the bark. They were a
thousand miles from the nearest
shore, The brigands of the sea turn
ed their backs and sailed away. Sew
en- victims of this barbarity are still
to be heard from-or never to be
heard from. Ten are in this port with
their pitiful tale of fifteen days of
hunger, of ~ceaseless, blistering toll at
the oars.
No crew with any prompting of
human decency would have treated
even a militant enemy as that U-boat
gang treated the men of the Stitnd-
er. That these suffering Norwegians
were not foes at all but sailors of a
neutral nation, is a fact aggravating
the German offense not against hui
mainly alono but world-laws of bell
ligerency.

1t was the hypocrisy of Mr.. Will
sons sinister appeal that hurt most.
No argument vas needed to convince
the people of the impossibility of
reconciling his solemn remuneration
of politics to his abrupt substitution
of p~artisanship for patriotism in this
hour. of the Nations peril. 1t was
all too apparent,
That is what shocked the country.
1t came as a blow in the face that
a President of the United States
could, for any conceivable reason,
descend so far from his high estates
His doing so for the u~nhistakable
purpose of furthering his own tower
ing ambition was felt Snstinctively
as a reflection upon the Republic
itself. The mere suggestion of set
ting up in America an ~autocracy,
"unembarrassed" by duly chosen
representatives of the people, while
demanding the obliteration of
depotic rule throughout the world,
was so glaring an incongruity that
1t could not fail to be regarded
everywhere as a reproach to the
whole country. The people were
shamed that their President should
hold their intelligence, their pride
and their fidelity to their time
honored institutions in SO slight
esteem.
But time now is too precious to
dwell upon even national humilia-
ton. Nor need we concern our
selves with the just resentment of
faithful public servants at misrep-
resentation of both their acts and
motives so wicked as to fetch, for
the first time in the history of our
country, an accusation of deliberate
Justification from a former President
against his successor. We may even
pass over the insolent im~putation
of ignorance of American political
affairs on the part of our Allies.
1t is the menace to free govern
ment staring us in the face that
demands attention. Mr.. Wilson tells
us how he, and how he believes the
country and the world, would in
terpret the election of a Republican
Congress. 1t would imply repudia-
ton of his leadership. 1t would
embarrass him as spokesman of his
countrymen at home and abroad.
1t would dispel unity of command"
his sole and exclusive unity of
command"-in civil as well as mill
tary affairs. 1t would compel him
to take counsel with the direct rep
resentatives of the people. 1t would
take from him the control of legis-
lation" which he now possesses and
would vest it in those representa-
tives, as provided explicitly and
jealousy by the Constitution. 1t
would, in a word, restore the legis-
lative branch of the Government to
the people.

'Of Course, Stpap Your Horse!


! [From Philadelphia Public LEDGER
Why, of course, swap your horses
politically! That's the constitu-
tional and the American way of
carrying on a government of the
people, and it has proved a mag
nificent success for over a hundred
and thirty-one years, So just why
the Democratic cabinet men, n
or two of whom are citizens by
adoption, and hence not familiar at
first hand with the fundamentals
of the American viewpoint, keep on
harping on that old absurdity that
not to continue q President, or n
one else in office, or his friends, or
his party in power, for that matter,
indefinitely, is akin to the alleged
evil of swapping horses while cross
ing a stream, passes belief. We do
not believe in oficeholding in per-
petuity nor in lifetime presidents,
and we have found that since the
currents of American life and poll
tics + always running strong, be
we at war or at peace, the best
thing is a change in executives, since
the f~orefathers rightly assumed that
every II who took high Office would
be just as American as his prede-
cessor and be fresher at the bat,
and hence they set us horseswap-
ping while your Uncle Sam crossed
the stream as the very fundamental
fact in the American system. And

worked so much better in all our
national crises than the trained

or dynastics in Europe that, a~t'last,
Europe, sick to death of kings and
autocrats and the perpetual and
divine right of certain men to reign

In fact all Europe is getting ready
for some extensive executive swap
ping on it's own account, and while
crossing the stream of war and
peace at that!
