One1of the surprises of the senate
sessions last week was the discov-
cry that Senator Houston of Burt
county is an orator. In the discus
sion of the resolution criticising Sec
rotary of War Baker for rewarding
conscientious directors by giving
them honorable discharges from the
disciplinary barracks at Fort Leav-
enworth, Senator Houston had &C.
casion to cross swords with Senator
Taylor of Merna, one of the shift
est and most crafty leaders in the
house, and Houston, who prides him
self on being a plain business man
and no orator, made speech that
for real eloquence was the gem of
the debate and won for him large
measure of sincere applause,
The legislature is recovering from
its debauch of bill introduction. Most
of the members, they say, did not
read all of the bills they intro
duced by request and from now on
they will treat many of measures
like unwelcome stepchildren and will
eventually kill them off.

speaking again in the evening, de-
clared that "a new idealism, a new
characterization, new moralization
and new cooperation are but part
Of the rapid development of the
day.
Two years ago America was look
ed on as a nation of money-grub-
bers. Today she is the nation Of

ago the White Ribboners' were a
forlorn hope and a by-word. Today
national prohibition is a glorious re-

"It is only fair to say that in

Relations Most Cordial.
Throughout the war our relations
with the American army have been
most cordial, and your treasury Of
hcials will assure you, / am sure,
that there has always been a spirit
of generosity on both sides. Any
suggestion that we have asked pay

II would perhaps be more accurate
to say that there is lull in the

Enemy's Purpose Now Clear.
"Recent disclosures have enabled
us to look deeper into the purposes
Of the enemy than we could here
tofore. 1t was not purely dream
of military domination on the part
of Prussia. 1t was definite, cal
culated conspiracy to exterminate
France as well industrially and COM
mercially as in military sense.
"And this fact explains many Of
the activities of the German army
which we are not able to under
stand. We can now see why they
stole the machinery from our fac
tories, why they destroyed the coal
mines of Lens, why there was all
the wanton devastation of French
territory. even when they were in
retreat.
"And in this phase Of their war

laudable ambition. And so, Senator
Lodge went about placating here,

They Paid Their Debts.

When Charles M. Schwab was re-

carrying many negro soldiers and
learned that many of them were with
out money. Mr.. Schwab loaned 81
each to 154 of the negro soldiers and
told them they need not pay it back
unless they wanted to. He supposed
very few of them would return the
loan, and is agreeably surprised be-
cause 1873 of the 154 soldiers have sent
him dollar each.

(From Washington correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Probably the most disappointing and
elusive task a Republican can set for
himself in Washington at the present
moment is that of finding his party.
An organization without cohesive pow
er or set purpose is carrying on" I'M
executive head nor rallying cry 1t
sat into the business of government
last March with a large stack of vel
vet in front of it. 1t still is on vel
vet, but has dribbled away much of its
reserve fund. The only issue it has
been able to develop is President Will
son. 1t is against the president and
his works with something approach
ing unanimity. One might go further
and describe the unanimity existing
as profane in its nature. But as a
party it has developed no constructive
policy and has perfected no plans for
a presidential campaign which viii
be getting under Roadway within the
next three months. A Democrat can
locate his party in Washington. 1t
is at the White House, when not
abroad or touring the country. But
he has no means of learning what its
policies or principles are until the
president tells him. And so we have
the spectacle of one great political
party milling" in circles and the
other shying from the lash of an in
tellectual but determined taskmaster.
At the game of politics, which is the
only game now being played in Wash
ington, the president has so far out
generated and outguessed the Repub-
lican organization. Because he was
once a college president the organiza
ton moderated his skill and cunning,
which it may be remrked are of a
very high order. In politics the phrase
college man" usually is employed as
invective or as term of reproach.
The so-called Republican organization
pinned the accepted definition on the
president when it came to swords
points with him. If one may employ
the vernacular of the remote com
he has "played horse" with
it. That seems to be the situation
as the two parties approach pres
idential campaign.

MOI altogether because OF IN
number of aspirants for the nomina
ton, but partly because no name we
suggested carries a thrill to the coun
try, nobody's candidacy has mad
much Roadway. That of Governo
Lowden of Illinois is the name mos
frequently projected. But it is al
ways done with some sort of reserva

tary, but half-hearted. The fellow whit

ernor Lowden's choice of father-in-
law would be made a campaign issue
but that his name really carries no
wallop to the members of his party
A lot of the fellows would like to be
for Harding, who is regarded as a
fine, clean, outstanding gentleman. But
Harding, they all agree, is as lacking
in personal magnetism as Charles Ev-
ans Hughes. And so, recalling 1916,
they express the thought that Hard
ing won't do. Indiana is enthusiastic
for Watson. Of all the candidates
mentioned so far, he is the most ac-
ceptable to the old-line Republicans
and the least acceptable to the pro-
gressive faction. That seems to wipe
out his candidacy at one wipe, so to
speak. 1t is agreed that Johnson has
no chance. Events slated to occur in
the coming weeks will, it is believed,
have the effect of removing him from
further consideration in the connec-
ton. But it is agreed that johnson
will be something of factor in nam
ing the candidate, whoever he is.
There is an undercurrent for Taft. His
name hobs up in every discussion of
presidential candidates. Republicans
in both house and senate couple talk
of his candidacy with deprecatory re-
marks, but they admit he has nego-
tiated the return trip and has GER
tain hold on the voters There is talk
Of Charles G. Dawes, President Nc
Kinley's comptroller of the currency.
Dawes comes from Chicago. Whether

bears the aspect of backfire. Poin-
lexter's aspirations for the greater

face of much-perturbed Political
party. The search for military hero
till goes on, despite the fact that
here is no military hero.

the nature of the medicine to be pre-
scribed. Of possibly half a dozen
groups in the Republican party no two
agree as to the nature of the poison
to be given the Democrats or the in
gradients of the tonic to inculcate
health and vigor in the Republican
party. The proposed indictments run
all the way from limited bolshevism
to what formerly was known as old
fashioned Republicanism. The only
thing that holds the Republican party
together today is President Wilson.
For the moment dislike of Wilson is
the only tenet of what passes for the
Republican creed accepted by every
body who calls himself Republican.
