throwing driver Hansen from the seat
when the wagon struck telephone

on into town, as the stage was badly
damaged.
The little three year old daughter
of s. ID. Brodock was run over last

DR.. Foskett was called, and reports
the child not seriously injured.
1t is reported that the contract for
the bridge across the Salmon river at
the louth Of Whitebird creek has been
let to the Security Bridge Co. subject
to finances and that only one thousand
dollars more is needed to complete the
required amount. No doubt an effort
will be made to raise this amount
by popular subscription. A bridge
across the river at this point will be
appreciated by the Salmon river coun-
try as well as by other residents of
the county.
The Salmon river, which has been
very high for the past week is now
falling and the ferry boats are once
more in operation. The river was re-
ported the highest this year for sever
al years. Owing to the hot weather
the snow was melted in the mountains,
causing the raise. There is time each
year when communication with points
across the river is practically at
stand still.
B. Anger of Grangeville was bus

Whitebird has enlisted and is now

STRAFING THE DUTCH

TINTIL the Great Hate expands and be-
- comes more active on the Dutch Dor.
ders any analysis of its immediate purpose
must be futile. The present situation is
significant only because of related events.
To some observers the threatened raid into
the Netherlands is one more omen of an
impending final crash of naval power in
the North Sea.
The work done by The British and French
in attempts to blockade the submarine
exits at Zeebrugge and Ostend may be un-
done in a week or a month Meanwhile
IL the submarines in that quarter are really
hindered the situation would be advanta-
geous to any fleets attacking Helgoland.
A glance at the map will chow that the
harbors of Wilhelmina's country provide
not only refuge but a means Of offense
that would give the Germans an extraor-
dinary advantage in any eliminating i'm.

waters where the Allies must fight If ever
they are to force a way past Helgoland

The experts surely lew that the self

WHY?

ntROOP trains follow each other endlessly
i through Philadelphia these days. Fare
well letters addressed by men to all parts
Of the country whiten the station plat
forms-committed by departing soldiers to
the care and conscience of those who hap
pen to pick them up. Fifty letters out of
every hundred are without stamps. This,
according to the best advices, is not re-
suit Of accident or negligence. Reserve
allotments held out of the soldiers pay and
Liberty Bonds which most of the men have
bought leave little from a wage of $50
month.
Why should not the Government trans
port the letters of soldiers without charge?
The mail franiing privilege is now sa-
cred to Congressman and jobholders in
Washington. There is no Congressman
and no Senator who has not at one time
or another vowed his devotion to the in
terests of the soldiers. Yet no one appar-
emily has made serious effort to insure
the courtesy Of free postal service - the
enlisted men, who on their way to the front
must depend on the charitable impulse Of
civilians to have their farewell letters de-
livered by mail.

THE NEW AIM OF CHARITY

IN THE minds of idealists charity is con-
ceived as a free impulse of the heart
spontaneously expressed. It is often said
that charity may not be organized and
systematized unless 1t be subjected to a
grim change of methods and motives. Yet
organized charity has purpose even
higher than that of the Samaritan, since
its aim is not only to relieve suffering and
1estitution, but to eliminate these insplra-
lions OF the sort Of active pity which ex.
presses itself in good works for the un-
foftunate.

USEFULNESS OF MUSTARD
PLASTERS

John ID. RYAN would not have been
Mr.. Schwab would not have been asked
to speed up the ship program, General
Goethals would not have been ordered to
superintend the shipment of men and
supplies and Mr.. Stettinius would not
have been made purchasing agent for the
War Department If the singing mustard
plaster of wholesome criticism had not
been applied to the comnlacent cerebral
tumefaction in Washington with its
usual benefcent results.
There is no use in blinking the fact
that the Government departments have
been slow in getting things done. The
old-fashioned bureaucratic methods had
served well enough when there was no
crisis. The men who used those methods
were accustomed to them. They could
thiri of no other wav to do things.
They thought that when there were more
things to be done the only way was to
get more men to do them.
But things did not get done. The
storm Of criticism arose. 1t found express
sion in Congress and in the press. Some
of it was tnctured with partisan rancor.
Some of il was unjust. Much of it was
well founded. But it was all wholesome.
The executive departments would resent
it at frst and announce that everything
was going on as well as could be
expected. We were told that it was
impossible to adjust the machinery OF
Government overnight to the new
demands on it. "Let us alone and we
shall come out all right the department
heads said time after time.
They were not let alone. And they
should not have BEEN The critics kept up
their prodding and they criticized merci-
leSsly. Congressional committees inves-
tigated and newspapers exposed what
their own Investigators discovered. And
then it would suddenly be announced
that the control over this activity or that
had been taken from the man who had
said everything was running smoothly
and put in the charge of a man who had
a reputation in private life for getting
things done.
There is no more shining example OF
the power of free speech and free press
than is afforded by its wholesome effect
upon the war activities of the Admins
tration. 1t has had its influence on the
whole conduct OF affairs in Washington.
Competent observers who have recently
visited the national capital report that
there is no more running about in a
circle, such as irritated every one who
tried to get any business done last fall.
This is encouraging to those who have
been mixing the mustard plasters and
applying them where they were needed.
1t is public business that is managed
in Washington and the public is not dis
posed to have it bungled. Our servants
there may prepare themselves for just
as much more criticism as their conduct
deserves.

MIR. TAFT AND THE WAR

WHENEVER Mr. Taft comes to town,
w whenever he writes or speaks Of the
one overwhelming subject of war, he in
spires a new admiration and new sense OF
friendliness in his audiences. 1t is his
peculiar good fortune to be able TO make
great judgments in u tranquil spirit and
10 approach any question, no matter how
extraordinary it may be, with serene
mind. Passion and riotous prejudice con-
tribute nothing to his appraisals Of men
and events And he has humor. Humor
enriches wisdom. 1t keeps ones conscious
ness steady in any great crisis. 1t clarifies
judgment
Again yesterday, when Mr.. Taft visited
this city, it was possible to see why he is
easily next to the President in popular es.
timation as a Voice of the Times. His
voluntary service to the country in the
present instance is all the more valuable
because it is possible for him to say many
things which the President himself IS pre-
vented from saying by the extraordinary
restrictions of his office.
1t is difficult to tell whether few years
have added to the mental and spiritual
stature Ol the lllOSl llhdDlS 4N4IS tN-IIeS-
ident or whether the country is merely
growing up to an appreciation of qualities
too subtle for immediate understanding.
Certainly Mr.. Taft's services at this time
are the more potent because they are un
selfish. He has accepted a difficult and
trying place on the Federal labor board
while congressional negligence seems des-
tined to defeat his purposes. His discus
sions Of the war and war questions repre-
sent the patient and thoughtful attitude Of
a man who knows that it is far easier to
conceive than to execute great plans.
It is because of all this that Mr.. Taft's
suggestions here yesterday gain in sig.
nifcance. 1t is his belief that an army OF
5000 900 will be necessary If we are not to
lose to Germany and that we must pre-
pare for at least three years of the war,
for great losses and great sorrows. These
are the convictions of a man not given to
snap judgment. II will be better for the
country If it will learn the weight of its
present obligations from men like Taft
than by the costly experience which in.
evitaby must follow on continued apathy

THE AMERICANS CREED
Drdlrn From Our Political Classics

AT THE request of a number Of our
"A readers we are glad to reprint the
Americans Greed, written by William
Tyler Page, to which was recently awarded
the prize of $1,000 offered by the city Of
Baltimore for the best expression Of Amer
ican political faith. The Greed was printed
in the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER on April 10:
THE AMERICANS CREED
I believe in the United States Of Amer.
lea as a government of the people. by the
people, for the people, whose just powers

lished upon those principles of freedom,

American patriots sacrificed their lives
and fortunes.

tuition; to obey its laws; 10 respect its

Phoebe Fallow writes to ask us the diff
ference between strategy and tactics.
Strategy is maneuvering your armies,
before battle. in such way as to impose
disadvantageous fighting conditions on your
antagonist.
Tactics is the skillful handling OF your
troops when they are in actual contact with
the enemy.
To be concrete: Suppose Dove Dulcet
has been spending the evening at the club
and misses the last train out to Obesity.
II he delays his return until the usual time
next day. when he can come home armed
with flowers and chocolates and carefully
matured excuses, that is strategy
II he walks all the way home, arriving
at a. m, and then wakes up Mrs. Dulcet
to explain that he has spent the time
touring the employment agencies looking
for a new cook, that is tactics.
Why is it that so few of the young men

No comment can make it more eloquent.
When military organization loses even

manders no longer expect to maintain
either morale or resistance. The marines
