We do not feel inclined to talk
politics this year when greater
things are impending and our
thoughts are with the boys over
seas. Somehow we have lost much
of our former partisan enthusias m
and how tame and commonplace
seems the ordinary political discus
sions Our hearts are saddened but
not cast down There are brighter
and happier days coming. Their
country called and they answered.
They are fighting that nations may
be free and all the world have peace.
Therefore our first duty is TO help
win the war. There may be many
important domestic problems to
solve but for the time being they
must be releeated to the rear and
made subordinate to the great issue
now before the people of America,
to win the war; That is the ques-
ton preponderating all others and
pressing most heavily upon our
thorghts.
And we are going to win! All the
savage hosts of Germany and her
barbarian vassals can never prevail
against the mighty valor of Amer

Watson, OF Indiana, and giving the

tanning the pace. His eighty years
have certainly rested lightly on the
avuncular shoulders, and the anima-
ton with which those twain stand
patters were discussing something or
other was such as to leave little doubt
of the theme: IL was politics, and
here's a guess that It was the polit-
ical strategy that was developed in
the authoritative Senatorial speeches
at the Indiana State convention two
days later. 1t isn't often that, at
four-score years, a man plays the
big part that Uncle Joe Is still play
ing in this country. He isn't Speaker

Of the House and one of the real

few men OF three-score fewer years.
These war times certainly superin-
duce a study of geography and Of the
sociology of countries We haven't been
in the way OF bothering about. Which
generalization is inspired by the recol-
lection OF some of the intensely inter-
esting stories that Mr.. and Mrs. Vic
tor Murdock brought home from their
travels in China. Their daughter,
Marcia. now Mrs. Harvey Delano. and
her husband, Lieut.. Delano. U. S. n g,
were living in the far interior, and
they set out on the trip up the Yang
tse Kiang River, some 1,SO0 miles, to
visit her.
Nobody could quite reproduce the
picturesque quality OF the narrative
as 1t takes color from Commissioner
Murdock's telling. For himself, he is
convinced that China is the only cor
rect place for a white man to 1--we In, I"
and by way Of explanation he outlines
the Joys of life in a country where

Everything else is on the same scale
