While trying to forget the rest.
Philosopher looks like a big word
for little tongues, but you know you
cannot always tell about things by their
looks. Just try it slowly and you will
not find it big at all. In fact, you will
find it very nice word to say, and
when you come to know it better you
will find it a very nice word In its
meaning. A philosopher is one who
seeks the truth in things and SO be-
comes wise enough to see only the good
things in life.
Now IL you should tell Jerry Musk
rat that he was a philosopher am
afraid you might scare him or else he
might think that you were calling him
names. Yet Jerry was a philosopher

The Draft Ages.

A plan to extend draft ages Is about
to be submitted to the House and Sem
ate committees on military affairs in
view to prompt action by Congress- No
official announcement has been made
as to the proposed new ago limits in
view of the fact that the matter h,
apart from administrative recommen-
dations, necessarily left to Congress.
But, whatever the limits, there should
be speedy action. The very rapid rate
Of transportation of our troops to
France during the past three months
has so far depleted the supply Of train
cd men in the camps in this country
that it is important to begin with the
least delay in the organization Of q
new contingent under the new selective
draft law. This war is npt yet won
and will not be won for months to
como, and in the meantime the Ameri-
can man power must be modified to
tho fullest possible extent to be avail
able for service overseas, with NO re-
laxation in the nate Of training and
transport. This legislation is sufa-
GENTLY important to bring Congress
back into session ahead Of the recess
schedule.

...;s,..sraiiJ.s. As rapidly US possible
the figures are being collected. The
battlefield is . vast one and the men
stricken in the fight are scattered over
a wide area. Until the figures are an
nounced from the headquarters in
France-f they are announced-it is
incumbent upon the people hero at
home to await the report calmly. Some
of their own men will be in the list.
Sorrow will knock at many doors.
Many Of the stars in the service flags
will be gilded in token Of the death
of man who has gone forth in Amer
ica's name to fight for humanity.
Perhaps for military reasons the
total will not be stated. It is not re-
garde6 as wise to let the enemy know
how badly he has wounded you. Day
by day the names will come, names
some Of US will know, other names hat
mean nothing to US personally, but
that will stand for q bitter loss to
somebody else. Our part is to summon
all our courage, all our strength to bear
these losses. There Will be others, be-
fore the war is won, many mora The
greatest loss Of all would be slack
ening of the spirit Of determination to

Buildings are erected costing into the

clerical workers. Temporary housing

1t is reported that fully half as much

Another German Sham Exposed.

Much has been heard lately about
the pewter sporting trophies presented
in pre-war days by the kaiser and orig
inally thought to be solid gold Sus-
picion is now directed against every
thing the kaiser ever gave away. But
it seems that this camoufage in art
has not been confined to trophies sent
to foreign lands. 1t has been prac-
ticed on the German people them
selves. Recently orders were given to
melt down some copper statues in Ber-
lin for the metal, sorely needed for
munitions making. Upon examination
it was found that they were tho thin
nest possible shells and that it would
not pay to dismantle and melt them.
Thus gradually the sham Of German
sutocracy is being exposed. It is base
metal, coated with glittering veneer.

POLITICS At HOME

Money has already begun to stalk'

usually . prompt stumper in that field.
It's @fnney" Is Mr.. Smith, reasonably
certain to be the democratic candidate
for governor. Bets are offered that
he Will carry the five boroughs Of the
big town by hundred and fifty thou
sand majority.
Mr.. Smith is a Tammany man, and
Tammany is full Of sporting blood. It
backs its own iiberally. By backing
Mr.. Smith in this way at the outset
it probably hopes to impress upstate,
where he is weak. If he is to win it
must be by q phenomenal vote down.

New Yorkers, on both sides, are good
spenders in politics. They "put up
both for nominations and for cleo.

There is expectation that campaign
funds this year everywhere will be
Of goodly size. Money Is abundant,
The spirit Of the people is high. A
Congress is in contest, and a number
Of state races possess more than local
Importance.
Moreover, this years results should
have a bearing on 1920. Another
democratic Congress would add to Mr
Wilson's strong hold on his party, and
might make his third nomination q
certainty. Democratic success in New
York would eliminate Gov. Whitman
as q political force, and might put a

dant.
On the other hand, . republican Con-
gfsm would shake the Presidents
leadership and might bring to the
front some new man, or one Of those
who figured prominently at Baltimore
in 1912. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under.
wood are in health and good standing
and Mr.. Bryan remains within call.
Campaigning costs something these
days. Old methods still in vogue are
expensive; and there are many new
methods. It is long, long way from

care of trained men-track-walksrs, SC

open for distractions, and remove them

not to stand upon the order Of spend

occasion warrants.
