William ]. Stone.

. Death has struck the Senate hard dur
ing the past year, six of its members
having passed away-Husting, Brady,
Newlands, Hughes, Broussard and Stone.
All but one of these were men of ex-
perience in the Senate, Mr. Husting los
ing his life after a very brief service.
OF the six Senator Stone had served the
longest, having entered the Senate at
the same time as Mr.. Newlands, whom
he survived by few months.
William j. Stone was man of mark
ed ability. He had succeeded in his po-
litical career with few setbacks, and
his service in the Senate was the climax
of long series Of achievements in his
state and in national affairs He had
risen to post of exceptional Importance
in the Senate committee assignments,
the Craftsmanship of the committee on
foreign relations, in which he came into
prominence through conflicts of judg-
ment with the majority of the Senate
during the months preceding our en-.
trance into the war. When war was de.
lclared, however, Senator Stone recognized
but one duty, to advance the Ameri
.ean cause to the utmost.

ing for, but the knowledge did not make
him untrue to his trust. He discharged
his trust faithfully; and upon the re-
turn of the master-in cases where the
master survived the struggle-the meet
ing between the two was quito beyond
description.
Loyalty like that to domestic oblisa-
tions guarantees loyalty to patriotic OBJ
legations. As slave the colored man
had much to complain of; but in the su-
preme test described he put his griev.
ance by. and remembered, and did. his
duty. As citizen he has complaints;
but In times Of public stress he puts
them by, and remembers, and does, his
duty. He fought in Cuba and in the
Philippines twenty years ago, and Is in
uniform now ready to fight again in this
supremer emergency.
There need be no uneasiness on the
score Of the colored man. On the con.
trary, there should be q sense of genu-
inc satisfaction in the fact that he IL
here, and dependable asset at time
when the country expects all citizens,
regardless Of color, creed or condition,
to support the government with both
blood and treasure a. the arbitrament
Of the sword, appealed to in world
war, may require.

that by means Of the elimination Of
many stops the cars may be carried over
the lines more speedily and that the
congestion may be relieved. Whether
this will be the result remains to be
seen. Experiment with the skip stops
in the downtown area have not yet con-
tinued long enough to determine the
value of the change, which has thus far
been chiefly productive Of Inconvenience
to passengers.
More cars must be provided, or trail
ers, to carry the people. Tho problem
Is simple in its terms, though not in its
solution. There nre more people than
the cars now operated can carry. If by
means of skip-stops the cars can make
more trips during the rush hours re-
lief will be given. If during the con-
gested period the cars merely run lit
tie more swiftly over the lines and the
passengers walk little farther to board
them, or to reach their ultimate desti-
nations after leaving them, nothing prac-
tical viii have been gained.
It is the duty Of all car riders to CO.
operate with the new plan by using the
stopping places in cheerful mood and
to board the cars as promptly as pos
sib!e. There will naturally be more peo-
pie waiting to board and leave the cars
at eech stopping place under the new
system than under the old. Will the
loss Of time incident to the loading and
unloading processes due to this greater
inflow and outflow at each stop consume
the time gained in cutting out stopss
That question remains to be answered.
Meanwhile, watch the lists, study
them, learn your own stops and conform
to the system.

The Cyclops Mystery.

Loss Of the naval collier Cyclops,
with nearly 300 men, is now believed
assured, as the ship sailed from the West
Indies March for an Atlantic port and
has not since been heard from. The
circumstances are mystifying. There
has been no word from the collier since
she steamed from port on what should
have been a short run for home. No
wireless call for help has been heard.
She has simply disappeared, leaving no
trace. Immediate suspicion of Ger
man submarine or raider Is entertained,
but usually when ship is attacked she
has time to send out call for aid. It
she was engulfed by a storm she would
have had a chance to summon assist
ance. There is no record Of signals.
A German attack upon the Cyclops,
to have been successful in sinking her
before she could summon help, must
have been unprecedentedly surprising
and swift. A torpedoed ship seldom
sinks within ten minutes. II the Cy-
clops was hit by two or three torpedoes
simultaneously she might have been sent
to the bottom before her wireless could
be worked, but even this would have
been extraordinary. The utter lack Of
signals and the fact that no German
submarines have been reported in the
western waters since the date Of the
sailing Of the collier suggests the pos
sibility that she was destroyed by treach-
cry, by some internal explosion which
carried her down instantly. There is
still hope that survivors may be picked
up who can tell what happened.

Holding the Line.

With their "backs to the walP the Brit
ish are fighting desperately, holding of
German attacks in all places but one,
report having come this morning Of the
loss Of Neuve Eglise. The German drive
in the north appears to be following the
course of the major assault in Picardy,
gaining ground through sheer weight Of
numbers for few hours or days, and
then slowing as the losses cause a weak
ening Of the lines.
From every sector of the battle front
come reports indicating that the German
casualties have been terrible. One dis
patch mentions the fact that the advanc-
ing battalions Of the enemy were block
ed in certain movement by the mounds
Of dead, moved down by the rife and
machine gun and artillery fire Of the
British. How long the enemy can con-
tinue this program of sacrifice for the
sake Of small gain Of territory can
not be known, but there must be a limit
Of endurance.
IF the British line in Flanders is not
broken, but is merely bent back few
miles, the German aggressive must stand
as a ghastly failure, however far west
ward the fighting front has been shift
ed, short of the German attainment of
a channel port. The obvious objective
of the campaign is to detaoh the British
army from the French and to roll it up
and destroy or capture it. Geographical
considerations are of minor importance
compared with this purpose. If the two
armies remain in contact and do not
yield possession Of vitality important
points Of debarkation and supply the
sacrifices of the Germans will cause the
spring campaign to stand as an IRE
trievable German defeat.

The Colored Man and LOYALTY.

Wiring from Jackson, Miss, last night,
Secretary McAdoo, in acknowledging a
subscription from Florida to the third
liberty loan, paid this tribute to the col
ored people of America:
II am proud of the colored Knights
of Pythias of Florida for their sub
scription of $25000 and for the patriot
ism of the colored people of America in
their loyal support throughout the coun-
try to the liberty loan as we'll as to the
nation itself in this great war for free
dom and democracy"
Now, as heretofore: the colored mans
loyalty is attested by the record. It
rests, not upon proclamation, but upon
performance. His position has not war
ranted proclamation. He could not have
secured much attention at any time by
merely proclaiming loyalty. 1t was nee
essary for him to show it, and he has
shown it. AS soldier he has much to
his credit. He has demonstrated that,
well led, he is a good fighting man. He
has endurance for the march and stom-
ach tor the battle. No white man who
has ever commanded him in uniform has
ever spoken in his dispraise.
But the colored mans loyalty as SOD
der is not the only loyalty he has
shown. He has been tried in fire hot
ter than that to which soldier is sub
jected.
At the beginning of our civil war, and
for some time afterward, the colored
man occupied place of great respon-
sibiity in the south. The master was
in the field eontending for what he
thought was right, while the man was
left at home to wait upon and protect
the masters family. The man knew the
issue between the two sections Of the
country and what the master was fight

Good news and bad news
They come along in turn;
There's sorrow and there's smiling
In the lesson we must learn.
The sorrow must be guarded,
Lest it come to shield fear.
And the smiling is but folly
If it never knows tear.
Bad news and good news;
The shadow and the sun;
The old world has to have them
In the work tl,at must be done.
We will take them as we find them,
And to do our part we'll try
With hope that shall not waveT.

Time being very valuable al present,
it is perhaps as well for Mr.. Creel to
refrain from trying to make clear the
fact that what Mr.. Longworth thought
Mr.. Creel meant was not al all what
Mr.. Creel meant that Mr.. LonRworth and
others should think Mr.. Creel meant
when Mr.. Creel said what he said. The

The President and Congress.

Tho Overman bill, which has encoun-
tered considerable opposition in the Sen.
ate-prominent democrats as well as
prominent republicans Offering criticism
has been temporarily laid aside. In a
few days, however, the North Carolina
senator viii call it up again, and in
sist upon its passage without material
amendment.
In some observations last week, Mr..
Cummins. who thinks the measure asks
far too much, said:
"When the President asks for legisla-
tive power in civil establishments and
power that does not concern the COM
mander-in-chief, then he must grant to
me the freedom and liberty to exercise
my judgment according to my own con-
science, the same as he desires. 1t is
Just as disloyal for the President to de-
nounce members of Congress for the
manner in which they discharge their
duties - it Is for them to denounce
him. Let's have a fair and reasonable
understanding about the government, SO
that al can perform with one mind and
one purpose in order to accomplish the
one thing that the American people have
in mind now"
Let the President ask for what he
wants, and let Congress decide as to
whether he should have it. Each shares
in the responsibility for conducting the
war. As commander in-chief of the
Army and Navy, the President issues
No orders to Congress. In war times, as
in peace times, Congress is, so to say,
m individual in its own right. 1t is
never to be commanded, but should al
ways be consulted.
Congress declared the war. Without
that declaration, the President could
have done nothing. It Is Congress which
il voting the supplies for carrying on
the war. II it were to withhold supplies,
the President would be helpless. The
effect would be to paralyze the whole
American effort.
OF course, Congress has no thought
ef Withholding supplies. On the con-
trary, it has been voting them munifi-
Gently, and shows no hesitation now.
The war is the work of Congress-of
the present Congress-and Congress
could not cripple OF impede operations
without stultifying itself.
\ The Overman bill has simply devel-
oped q difference of opinion between the
President and certain members Of Con-
sress-some in the House, some in the
6enate-as to . feature Of conducting
the war. The President wants more
power, and acknowledges the supremacy
Of Congress in the premises by asking
for it. Those who oppose him in the
matter think he already has quite
enough power; and by their opposition
they suggest that he can accomplish all
he desires and is necessary by fully en-
ploying the power already in his hands
There is no disloyalty on either side
u il to be assumed that both sides have
/. the country's interests at heart, and
that the position of each has been taken
with the object of serving the country.
The matter should be thrashed out with
out acrimony.
