Mighty Casey.

We have heard Of Casey, "mighty
Casey" at the bat. For many years that
classic figure has been quoted in the
wide circles Of American base ball.
Mighty Casey, who, with the bases load
cd and the hopes Of thousands hanging
upon his bat, was mercilessly "fanned."
The name Of Casey has always seemed
to handicap a batsman because of the
poem that every base ball rooter knows
almost by heart. But yesterday things
differentiated. Casey faced the pitcher
here in Washington in the fifth inning
with the bases loaded and the score
favoring the enemy, even as the Casey
Of old. This Casey had no reputation
to sustain. He was a newcomer. This
was his first game in Washington, the
first time he had ever swung bat in a
local uniform. 1t was trying time for
Casey. Throughout the stands ran the
murnur Of the familiar refrain. Every
body expected him to maintain the ira
dition. Nobody would have blamed him
if he had. But he didn't. He swung,
he met the ball, and sent it out Of
reach Of alien fingers and scored the
first runs for Washing ton, which started
the foe on the downward path to over
whelming defeat. In all the exciting
happenings that followed when a dozen
more runs were scored nobody forgot
Casey. His fame may fade, but he has
had his supreme moment.

The War and the Parties.

Minority Leader Mann took leave of
the House yesterday for the remainder
of the session. His health, while i'm.
proved, is not entirely restored, and his
physician has prescribed further rest.
He said in short address at parting:
eve are appropriating unbelievable
SUMS, and mistakes will occur. We have
made mistakes, both personally and leg
is'atively, but in war there is no par
tisanship. What we all need, what the
administration needs, what the country
needs is determination and patience. It
is not unlikely that the war will be won
by something entirely new, but what.
ever develops we must all keep our
minds see on the firm determination
never to quit without complete victory"
From the outset Mr.. Mann has voted
for all war supplies and advocated, vigor
in war activities. His voice Is un-
changed. and his followers in the House
are adjured by him to continue in a
patriotic course. That they will heed
him admits of no doubt. In his absence
they will remember his words.
The National Security League cele-
brated in New York last night its third
anniversary. Elihu Root, the honorary
president, was the principal speaker, and
delivered highly patriotic address. BE
then introduced Senator Lenroot As "the
gallant and brilliant victor from great

extremes. That the size Of our fighting
force in France is better than half
million is now assured. Best of all is
the kncwledge, not given officially, how
ever, that the rate Of transport has been
lately much accelerated. just how fast
the troops are going cannot, of course, be
stated, hut it is matter of general I'M
derstanding that the flow of men to the
front is more rapid than ever, and is
steadily increasing.
Considering the conditions. this
achievement is not short Of marvellous.
Over three thousand miles of subma
rinc in Tested sea our troops have been
dispatched. with the loss of only one
laden transport, with which oS3 men
went TO their death. This percentage of
loss is astoundingly small. Of course,
disaster may Defall us any day. 1t is
not assured that our good fortune in
this respect will continue indefinitely.
Yet it is not altogether 4. matter of
good 'uck. Good management has mark
ed the transport of orr men and their
supplies. Our naval forces have done
remarkably efficient work IN conveying
the transports. As the score stands, the
American Navy has beaten the German
submarine.
Germany is dismayed at the perform
ance. 1t was never thought in Berlin
that we could put an army of material
size over the seas. Now the gaps in
the ranks of the allies, torn by the
enemy offensive that has thus far been
halted. are being rapidly filled by troops
from these shores, and reserve of great
sire is being accumulated for future OPP
eratlOms, chiefly through American ac
cretiops. The impossible has been ac-
complished and Berlin is worried. What
ever discomfort there may be here at
home over failures in this or that part
of the war program, delays and disap-
extravagances and blunders,
this achievement Of putting our Army
over in large numbers and in time to
be of efficient service in the supreme
crisis is to be hailed as triumph.

The Senate as Lure.

Senator Warren has reconsidered his
purpose to retire at the close of his pres
ent term. He will stand for election
with every prospect of success. His
prominence and his influence in the Sen
ate are considerable He has been Q
member of that body continuously since
1895. twenty-threc years ago having
served previously for two and half
years.
Senator Borah also. who at one time
thought of Quitting publ: life. will stand
fo- reelection. with success in sight.
He has been in the Senate since 1907,
and stands in the front rank there.
Senator Nelson. in his office since 1865,
will return, as the joint choice this time
of the republicans and the democrats.
The democrats will offer no opposition
because of the senator's correct attitude
toward the war. He has been giving full
support to every measure for the prose
cut;on Of hostilities. His standing in
the chamber is of the best
Senator Martin will offer fer reelection
He is nov the majority leader there. and
easily the strongest democrat in Nir-
GINA. Another term for him is GER
tainty.
Senator Simmons is coming back. 1t
will be for the fourth term. He is a
strong man in the chamber, at present
the head of the chambers leading COM
mittee--that IF finance
Senator Banki,ead has offered for an
other term He ranks high in the cham
Der. and has been a very useful man to
the entire south, whose interests he un-
derstands and supports.
Senator Tillman wants another term.
He has been in Office for many years,
and is now chairman of the committee
on naval affairs-a committee whose
present work is most important, and
whose work in the immediate future
may De more important still.
Service in the Senate is attractive.
The length of the term gives member
time to learn the ropes, and become ac-
quainted with his associates. The pro-
cedure in the chamber is orderly and
dignifiec. Tho atmosphere conduces to
reflection and sober statement. Playing
to the galleries is bad form. Turbulent
uafures arc tanned Calm nafureq are
rewarded with opportunity to do their
best
As result, strong personal friend
ships are generated. Men who come
once want to come again; and the
oftener they come the stronger their
attachment for commission which at
once promotes good personal feeling and
guarantees large legislative usefulness.

Women on the Farms,

An official of the Department of
Labor is quoted as declaring that women
are not fitted for service on the farms
and as urging the women Of this coun-
try to do other kinds of work for the
government in the war crisis. 1t is
strange if the American women are not
as capable Of agricultural labor as are
those of England and France. Those
women have given service of the high
est valuc on the farms of their coun-
tries during the war. Indeed, before
the war the women of France were
among the active workers in the fields.
When war was declared and the men of
England went forth to fight the women
went upon the farms in great numbers
and they held up the standard of eff
cheney and productiveness. In Canada
also the women have taken the places Of
men on the farms with good results.
Have our women grown incompetent
that they cannot do what their sisters
Of England and France have done in
this great emergency It is true that
they are not as a class accustomed to
the hard conditions to which many Of
those in the other countries have been
subjected. But there are great areas
in America where the women have borne
their share of the hard work of pioneer
ing and development. City life is not,
Of course, conducive to agricultural skill,
and the majority Of the women Of Amer
lea could not 60 to the farms and I'M
dertake the hard work that men have
been doing. But there are many thou
sands who could handle machines and
do the lighter classes Of work.
Il is not desirable to discourage women
from going upon the farms. To tell
them, officially, that they are not want.
ed is to close one Of the channels Of
labor supply upon which we may have
to draw heavily before the war is con-
cluded. A careful sitting Of candidates
for farm service would suffice to pre-
vent those who are physically incompe-
tent from undertaking such labors. If
a hundred thousand Of the American
women could be found fit for this work
the agricultural labor problem Of this
country would be largely solved.

months, with respect to this war. There
is no west: there is no east, no north,
or south, but we have a national unity
today such as this country has never
known. There is unity Of thought and
purpose to win this war that knows no
section"
And yet, only few weeks ago, in
what Mr.. Root last night characterized
rs "a great fight for loyalty and honor"
Mr.. Lenroot was practically tagged by
his opponents as the representative in
the fight Of disloyalty and dishonor. The
voters of Wisconsin were advised to de-
feat his candidacy, on the score that its
triumph world be hailed everywhere as
anti-war in spirit and effect.
All rot, OF course. The people of'Wis
consin knew Mr.. Lenroot and knew them
selves, and they elected him by sub
stantial majority. And here he is. in his
commission of senator, speaking for an
American triumph in arms, and ready to
vote in the Senate, as he did when in the
House, for whatever may be necessary
to accomplish that end.
Between now and November the coun
try will ring with campaign cries. Demo
Gratis and republicans are girded for
strenuous tusslc, and party appeals will
be put in strong terms. But let every
body beware of the candidate or the
committee, if such appear, seeking to
make party capital out of the war by
laying claim to monopoly of patri.

Go on Buying Thrift Stamps!

If there has been any slackening in
the buying CT war thrift stamps during
the past four weeks of intensive liberty
bond campaigning activity should be re-
newed promptly. The war thrift cam
paign runs throughout the year. Anybody
who started card of certificates in De.
cember has assumed an obligation to go
on without remission of effort to the end
that that card may he filed When the
government launched this plan Of %
cent savings it did so with the expecta-
ton that a certain amount should be
raised by it, a. short term loan of in
determinate but approximately expected
size. Two billion dollars, it was hoped,
would be realized by this means. That
emit rate. 1t can be with more univer-
sal popular effort.
While an unprecedented number Of
Americans bought third liberty bonds
there still remain nearly hundred mil
lions who did not. These can and should
buy thrift stamps. Every person who
does not wear bond button should be
buying these little stickers Of security
daily and weekly. The children are
working hard to put their pennies into
thrift stamps and are learning lesson
in thrift that will never be forgotten,
and will give them the most practical
conception Of the value Of money they
could possibly obtain. Their elders
should encourage them and give them
opportunities to earn money.
During the coming summer the chill
dren will be free from their school
duties. There are many ways in which
they can be Of practical service while
thus idle. They should be taught to in
vest their vacation profits in stamps so
that by the end Of the year their cards
will represent a substantial credit
against the government.

several weeks ago a little
woman whose husband is
employed by the govern

was doing something in this
busy city of ours and she
wanted to do her bit"
Yesterday she said to one of
our managers: Mr.. w., the

worth hundreds of dollars
to me. 1t will help me in
choosing merchandise and
in saving money in my pur-
chases all the rest of my
life. What pity more
housewives don't work few

We told her we were anxious
to have women come to our
store and work all or part
OF their time especially
now. when the available
help in Washington is SO
limited.
And. not only that. but we will
pay good money to those
women willing to act as

them every opportunity to
