Sly Shots at the Solons.
BY THE OBSERVER.

Mr.. Huddleston did what was not
expected Of him. But one viii hardly
conclude. as result. that his dis
trict is not thoroughly loyal To
charge this against the Alabsnsns
would be folly.
BY the way. Mr.. scbiey Howard
does not see through the same pair
Of spectacles that others OF his party
SEE. We wonder what the outcome
OF it will be. We know what Sem
ator Hardwiek thinks-he thinks he
viii be nominated
And before We leave alabama and
the South-did you note what Sem
ator Bankhead did :. to Mr.. Frank
White? Evidently the voters of that
State are fairly discerning-else how
could one account for their repudIa-
ton of Mr.. Whites speeches made
50 violently always against Senator
6anAneaoE zkaJ
President Wilson has not only sere-
ed OF late as his own Congress, but
oPboAthAAy hoo AN1hCu Va cplAtE Va
the duties of his party national COM
mittee. From a purely ethical stand
point 1t will be interesting to watch
the outcome.
Many of the Presidents friends are
said to have advised a different
course. though one calculated to OBJ
tain the same results he wants to
obtain. But Joe Tumulty and Dave
Lawrence abe said to have insisted
this was the course to follow. Won
der where they studied politics?
II will be recalled that the White
House position was not the Oen) root
Of all evil in the Wisconsin affair.
In fact the man who triumphed over
Joe Davies is said TO have told
friends that he was helped by the
affair. That's putting it cruelty.
A very light vote was polIed at
the Ohio primaries which bears out
the contention that the people are
apathetic under the surface as well
as above IL. With their boys in
the army and their dollars in Uncle
Sans till, what do you suppose
hNCpS AhSIh away lTOI1 lne polls q I
which the guardians of both lives
and cash are selected?
Mr.. Gompers is very much oppos-
ed to the Thomas amendment TO the
draft bill making laboring men ex-
empt from military service only when
they keep on working. The prin-
ciple seems sound enough TO many
members OF the Senate.
Along about dog-days the report
Of Charles Hughes on the aircraft
matter will be made known to the
public. 1t will doubtless be regard
ed as a thorough document, in keep
ing with the documents Mr.. Hughes
has prepared at other times in his
eventful life.
Messrs. Borah and Kenyon have
their election certificates in their
pockets-or they are just as safe es
If the aforesaid documents were
there. They have the backing OF
both parties in their home States,
and they not only have the pleasure
Of accepting unanimous re-elections,
but the comfort of knowing that
the races didn't cost them anything
financially.

FIRES In NATIONAL
FORESTS PERILOUS
President Grants Part of Defense
Fund to Fight Flames.

President Wilson has come to the
rescue of the Forest Service. A loan
of 100000 from his special defense
fund to meet dangerous conditions in
the nations Woodlands was an
nouced last night by the Department
Of Agriculture.
Unprecedented danger Of fires in the
national forests of the northwestern
and Pacific coast States prompted ex-
ecutiye assistaee. Resort TO the Pies
ident's fund was rendered necessary
because the 1888 appropriation bill
for the Department OF Agriculture has
not been passed by Congress.
Forestry officials regard the present
fire season in the northwest as be-
ing in some ways the most serious
with which the Government ever has
had to deal. Early drought, high
winds. electrical storms, labor short

tectiye force because of the war have
