pains In the pit of my stomach that
could hardly stand 1t. Ny nerves
were In bad shape, was badly
constipated and even now | hate to

one day in Detroit. Michigan. where

Tanlac testimonial given by a lady
who lived but short distance from

nothing less than remarkable. My

Il he Public and the White House.

s digestion has been made that dur
ing. President Wilson's absence in
France in attendance on the peace
con. ference the White House should be
opened to the public, which has not
had az, opportunity for months to visit
the executive mansion. It is to be
hoped that this idea will be put into
effect. There are many thousands of
people in Washington, newcomers
here, who, have never seen the inside
of the Presidents home. Some of
them will soon be leaving, as the war
emergency forces Of the government
are demobilTa:ed. The Presidents abb
sence will make it possible to open
the mansion daily for several weeks
and enable the people to see it, who
otherwise would have to leave Wash
ington without carrying with them a
picture of the home of the President.
It would be indeed most appropriat e
to open the house at night, SO that those
who are engaged during the day in
their departmental duties could take
advantage of the opportunity thus af
forded. 1t may be remarked that there
are many Washingsonians, resident
here for years, who have, not seen the
White House rooms, so few are the
chances for visits to the building.

Punishment for the Guilty.

There can be no doubt about the
attitude of Premier Lloyd George Of
England toward the perpetrators Of
German cruelties and atrocities in the
war. He stands for the punishment of
all who were responsible for the war.
He has already SO indicated, and now
in his election speeches in the course
Of the campaign in progress in Great
Britain he is becoming more explicit,
urging that those who. precipitated
the catastrophe cannot escape because
their heads were crowned, but that
they must be tried by an international
court.
No sign appears of a disposition
among the allies to deal lenientiy with
those Of the central powers who
brought about the war and who were
guilty Of establishing and executing
the policies Of Gfrightfuluess" with

Byron and the Huns.

Shortly after the great war beg an III
Europe and the Germans started their
barbarous methods in Belgium and
France the name 'Hun" was app1ted
to them as term Of reproach and con
domination. It had q certain HISTORICAL
appropriateness. The methods en-
pIoyed by the invaders were almost
identical with those Of the followers
of Attila in his raids many centuries
before. Certain ap0logists for the
Germans took exceptions toythe name
''Hun' as unwarranted, but it persisted,
and today it has become virtually
synonym in common use.
This name, however, was not of
strictly modern application, 1t was
used nearly a. century ago in execra,
ton, not of the Germans, but Of the
Austrians, whose methods in the pres
emit war have been quite as barbarous,
though not as we'll known through be-
ing practiced on more remote fronts
than those occupied by the kaiser's
armies. In 1920 Lord Byron, writing
from Rayenna to friend i'll London,
said:
"Of,the- state of things here it would
be difficult and not very prudent to
speak at large, the Huns opening AL
letters. I wonder if. they can read
them when they have opened the1nY If
so. they may see, in my most legibie
hand, that think them damned seoun-
drels and barbarians, their emperor a
fool and themselves more fools than
he; all of which they may send to
Vienna for anything L care They
have got themselves masters OF the
papal police and are bullying away;
but some day or other they will pay for
it all. 1t may not be very soon, but 1
suppose Providence. will get tired of
them at last and show that God is not.
an Austrian"
Byron, of course, had no provision
of the terrible price that the Aus
TRANS were eventually to pay for their
misdeeds in Italy and elsewhere. But
his prophetic utterance and his accu-
rate Characterization are of interest
now to show that the century that
elapsed since; his visit to Italy wrought
10 changes in the character Of those
who were then. so appropriately called
Huns and who proved themselves Huns
in 1914.

POLITICS AT HONE

7 It may develop that while the wal

}candidates for minor places; and, in
| time, one or more Of the successful
ones may appear in the White House
Gen. Grant was, as the phrase i, The

party; and man to unite the factions

mated, and elected.
At that time r. B. Hayes of Ohio
was not conspicuous. He had very
creditable war record, but not Of suf-
ficient eminence to insure him mention
in connection. with other than local
Offices. It served him well, however,
in that particular. It helped him at
tain the governorship Of the Buckeye
state; and that Office proved step
ping stone to the presidency. In 1876,
when Gov. Hayes opposed Samuel j.
Tilden, an effective campaign appeal
represented the republican candidate
as fighting for his country at a time
of supreme peril when his democratic
opponent was practicing law in New
York city. +-,
In 1880 both candidates had Army
records. Gen. Garfeld's was incon-
spicuous by comparison with Gen. Han
cocks, but it served. The record of
the man trained in national civil af-
fairs was reinforced by his military
record; and the combination won over
the man, who, though eminent as a
soldier, had no civil record at all.
In 1888 Benjamin Harrison, who had
served brilliantly as brigadier gen.
eral in the civil war, had the "call''
among the old soldiers over Grover
Cleveland, who had sent a substitute,
and defeated him.
In 1896 Mr.. McKinley's campaign
was assisted by the fact that in the
civil war he had been very brave and
efficient, although in inconspicuous
station; and the man who succeeded
him in the White House had attained
a few years before the governorship
of New York largely on the strength
Of his fighting in Cuba.
Gen. Pershing may not receive a
presidential nomination two years
hence, but presidential candidates, and
for that matter presidents, may in
time develop out Of men now serving
under him in modest stations in
France. A good record as a soldier
is often q winning asset in politics.

gerously close approach to the actual
maximum capacity Of the reservoirs
by the local consumption Of water,
Last summer stringent regulations
were necessary to prevent a water
famine. Unless there Is very great
reduction of the population between
now aad the next. period Of warm
weather-which is unavoidable :, even
with the dismissal Of many Of the So
called war workers another season
will find Washington at the same point
Of actual privation.
The course of construction is so slow
that even if additional water inpound-
ing facilities are authorized at this
session Of Congress it will be at least
two years before the increased supply
is available. By that. time it is vir-
tua1ly assured that the, city, despite
temporary reductions, will be back to
its present size and stin growing. If
this session is allowed to pass with
out positive action and not merely IN
vestigatory, fully three years must
elapse before the water supply is in
creased.
Delay in this matter is actually dan
gerous. We are, indeed, already with
in the danger zone in regard to the
water supply, for We have a water
plant for population of about 4o0,-
600 people and actual present popula-
ton of nearly 100000. It is to be
doubted whether another city in this
country is maintained OIL such short
commons as to one of the vital neces-
titles of life.

Business and Politics.

Charles NJ. Schwab for President is
one of the latest propositions. Some
popular speculation runs in this wise
IN era of busines-big business-the
biggest business ever-is opening. Re
construction, by and large, means bust
ness. Through business, not only
America, but all the nations, must
make good the heavy losses occasion
led by the war. Business men must
guide, not only in private, but in pub
lie, station. Captains of industry must
become also captains of poiitics-must
transfer to the political field the tai
|ents and resources they have developed
in the business field.
This argument was used last fall in
behalf Of Henry Ford for the Senate.
Some of his supporters urged the peo-
pie Of Michigan to send him to the
Senate partly for the reason that by
doing so they would help to make him
President. They saw a future bright
for men Of Mr.. Ford's stamp, and
wanted him entered for the big prize.
How much influence the argument had
on the campaign is a question, but it
is a fact that Mr.. Ford ran q surpris-
ingly strong race. In a state where
the republicans have shown q hundred
thousand the best Of the poll, Mr..
Ford's republican opponent last month
was elected by only some eight thou
sand majority.
There are embellishments Of the
theme. One is that the people are get
ting tired Of professional politicians;
getting tired also Of conventional hero
worship; getting tired Of conventional
leading-strings; that they want q new
deal, new fling, under new leadership,
and are organizing to obtain what they
want.
There is good deal Of this sort of
talk in circulation. The times are pro-
pitious for it. Everything is disturbed
business, philanthropy and
society in general. The war has shak-
Ell up the whole world.
But now that the war is over, and
peace, for a spell at least, seems as
sured, disturbances will, in measure,
cease. The old order, as we knew it,
viii not be restored, but the new order
is not likely to take on an extreme as
pect in any particular. There viii be
room in it, as in the old, for politi-
clans, heroes, lawyers, agitators and
orators. Their occupations are not
gone, and they are going to be reek-
oned with in the future, As they have
been in the past The captains Of In
dustry win have a larger field for &c
tivity than ever; and maybe that very
fact viii keep the great majority Of
them employed with things they hest
understand.
