was denied him when he ran for a
second term, the people of his home
state repudiating his candidacy by a
plurality of nearly $4,000. They also
turned down Woman Suffrage by 51,-

gently hints at one of the Presiden-

sturdy citizen can accept that state
ment as absolutely true. He is a
solid man, dependable man who has
tried to do the right thing, and yet
who will not be tossed hither and
thither by the shifting winds of popu-
lar opinion. Governor Edge and
Senator Baird have the great advan-
tage of having devoted all of their
lines to the interests of New Jersey.
They know the Commonwealth from
the Delaware to Sandy Hook, they are
familiar with the people and their
needs. They make good running

anxious to serve, and the other ma

with years and experience. They do

can be said of their opponents. Sen
ator Baird rightly says that the radi-
cal views of his Democratic opponent
are not far from Socialism. The peo-
pie of New Jersey do not want that
sort of thing.

From Paris comes the statement
in La Liberte concerning Mr.. House
to the effect that: "The only posi-
tive declaration interviewers were
able to obtain from him was that ne
arrives as the official representative
of the United States and the Presi-
dent. It is no longer a question OF a
private mission, but an official repre-
sentation accredited to the European
allies"
It seems hardly possible that Mr.
House ever made such statement
If he did, there is an astonishing con-
dition confronting the country. Mr.
House is private citizen. He has
no public commission so far as the
country knows, and could have none
unless his name had been confirmed
by the Senate for a diplomatic posi-.
ton. Under the Logan act any pri-
yate citizen who undertakes any sort
Of diplomatic mission commits
crime for which there is heavy pun
ishment. This was because more
than century ago DR.. Logan, of this
city, while abroad of his own initia
tive, undertook to settle some diplo
matte differences and got into no
water in consequence.
The people of this country woule
like to know what is the precise posi-
ton Of Mr.. House in Paris. If he is
only the private agent of the Presi
dent and makes no effort to conduct
any diplomatic conversations or cor
respondence, he violates the spirit in
deed, but not the letter of the law
If he is, as reported, an official agen1
he is without standing in law, as the
Senate has never confirmed any such
appointment. We are accustomed t.
having the President do many UMPIRE
cedented things, but it is incredible
that he should deliberately violate
the law.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

come a German after the annexation

to France and help to prepare France
for the struggle he believed ultimate
" would take place. He entered the
polytechnic school with the number

a rank that was not considered at
justifying hopes Of great future.
He never dalxled by his brilliance.
but he showed what wonders could be

the Superior War school, where he
left his mark as a professor. Prefer
