De Boccard acted with tact and

feelings of the Croats. To a Croat
commission which presented itself po-
litely at the palace, at the head Of a
demonstration, he said he would per-

terpreted as a popular manifestation
in favor of his torpedo boat. He ad-
dressed the Slavs:
'Slavs, Italy means liberty. There

The Slavs applauded and the dis
turbing elements which had swarmed
into he city were quieted by their
leaders. Several Slav flags were raised
but over the palace only the flag Of
Italy appeared. The demonstrations
Of the Italians continued uppermost.

RETURNING SOL lERS' BODIES

1t has been announced as the intention of this gov
eminent to bring back to this country for permanent in.
terment the bodies of all soldiers who have died abroad
this plan being subject, it is understood, to a contrary de.
sire expressed by the nearest relatives of the deceased
The death of Colonel Roosevelt just now will bring to
mind the fact that he and Mrs. Roosevelt some time ago
asked that the, body of their son Quentin, who was killed
while serving as an aviator in France, be not removed
from the grave where it now lies.
1t is certain that the sentiment so beautifully express.
ed by Colonel Roosevelt with reference to the body of his
son will be shared by a very large number Of other mar
ents. On the other hand, very many will desire the re.
mains of their loved ones brought home for. burial where
their graves can be seen and tended by the loving hands
of their friends. ' 7
Both these desires should be gratified. There is No
argument to be made on the subject. 1t is not a matter
for argument. 1t is a matter of sentiment, and whatever
the sentiment may be it should be respected. It seems
however, that inasnuch as there is likely to be a strone
desire for the permanent interment Of the bodies of faner
soldiers on or near the fields where their blood was shed
only those should be returned whose return is requested
by friends. Others could appropriately be buried perma.
nently in one or more great cemeteries, such az those
maintained by the government for Civil war veterans
There are doubtless many reasons why it. will be desirable
to remoye bsdies from the graves where they wefe hur.
riedly buried Immediately after battle, when there wa.
neither time nor opportunity to choose cemetery location.
which would be suitable for permanent use.

WHO ARE THE WORKERS?

In his address at Milan President Wilson deciaieo
his profound conviction which, he assumed was sna'eu
by the statesmen who had welcomed him to the CITY, u'a
1.-The social structure rests upon the great working classes
Of the world" Almost everyone will agree with 1"at
that the individual will place upon the presidents words
the construction which he himself believes they should
bear. Construed in another manner there will be DIS
sent.
Who are the working classes? We drop easily INTO
the habit Of using the words worker and %aoorer" IN
a very restricted sense. Their secondary and restricted
meaning has come to takeothe place Of their primary ana
apt to be applied to a group Of people which, while very
large, does not by any means include all or nearly all or
the worlds workers.
over in Russia they are trying to restrict the use
of the term to those who are employed in the factories
of a few large cities. These, we are told, are the work
ers" of Russia, and it is they who must govern, and IN
whose sole interest government shall be administered.
There is the extreme of a tendency which exists all over
the world to draw distinctions between those who labor
directly with their hands in the manual occupations, and
those who devote their time and effort to other forms OF
activity.
Obviously no such construction is intended by the
president. He would include among his list Of workers
whether in the so-called productive occupations or not.
The president himself is a worker of tremendous capacity
and energy. He would not exclude himself and his kind
from the group which. in his opinion. forms the basis for
the Social structure of the world.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
The death Of no other man except the>pre

The death OF no other man except the> president him
self could have brought such a shock to the American
people as has been caused by the death >of Theodore
Roosevelt, and that feeling will be shared by the people
of the world at large. for it has been>the fortune of put
few men. and under exceptional circumstances. to occupy
such u large share OF the attention OF his own country and
of the world. His death comes at a time when the nation
needs the services of its strongest and wisest citizens, and
when the great world stands in need of the counsel of its
greatest men.
Roosevelt was one Of the most remarkable men Of his
generation. By sheer force Of unconquerahle will he
forced a feeble youth to develop into a strong and rugged
manhood, and that powerful. unbending will, was
throughout his eventful life one Of the dominant features
of his character. Positive in his Opinions, and enthusiasts
tic in his advocacy Of them, it was inevitable that he
should be at all times the center of a storm Of controver-
~, of criticism, and Of enthusiastic approval. No other
man in the recent history of the nation has been able to
command such a. devoted personal following, or has
aroused such fierce and incorporating personal oppo~
sition. Positive in all his acts and expressions, he inspir-
ed others equally positive appreciation or condemnation.
l. He was a born leader, and it was under his leader
ship, and very largely because of his clear understanding
of the problems involved, that some of the most important
public movement Of our time were got under way. 1t was
due to his insistence, and to the powerful influence which
he welded over congress that there was established in the
public thought for all time, and expressed in legislation,
the fact that the state has the right to supervise and reg
olate, in all its details, the work of public service corpora
lions. He contributed greatly to the capitalization of
thought on the right relation sustained by the business
corporation to the public. He saw, with comprehensive
ness and clearness unparalleled at that time the import
lance of conserving the natural resources of the nation for
the public use. And it was due to his initiative that many
OF the public welfare movements. then often criticised as
improperly patefnalistic, but since accepted as necessary
parts of our political and social policy, were inaugurated.
1t would be as impossible to summarize in a briet
paragraph the character of a man so versatile and many
sided as it would be to treat with like brevity the actual
achievements of "a life SO packed with action. Time will
aid the historian to set forth in their just proportion the
elements of his character and to place a proper estimate
on the accomplishments Of his full and active life. But
we who have been the more. immediate witnesses OF his
work will mourn the passing Of a mighty spirit, filled with
love of country and humanity, nobly courageous, and
seeking to fulfill those obligations to the world which he
accepted as a part of his existence.

PRETTY CHEAP POLITICS
The action Of n. c. Macdonald

The action Of n. c. Macdonald, dereated candidate
FOR reelection as state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, i'll refusing to turn over his Office to Miss Nelson
who was lawfully elected to that position last November,
is about as cheap a bit Of political chicanery as has ever
occurred in the history Of the state. And, at that, it will
not be surprising to those who know Mr.. Macdonald and
have followed his career, for the man is temperamentally
a petty politician, and he is, probably unable to under
stand that there is anything reprehensible in his effort
him, and from which he was ousted by the vote OF the
people after having served a single term. t
1t will be remembered that at the legislative session
two years ago Macdonald attempted to induce the .legis-
lasure to enact a law prescribing such qualifications for
The state superintendent as would just permit himself to
l old the Office, but which would fit scarcely anyone else
in TIE state, and which would especially exclude Miss
Nielsen, who was even at that time regarded as a prob
able candidate for the office, and whom Macdonald felt
that he had cause to fear.
This attempt was unsuccessful, but, failing its sue
cess, Mr.. Macdonald takes a desperate change, and un-
dcriak.s to hang ontb the Office by main strength and
aw. rdness. Everyone knows that Miss Nelson pos
scsses the experience, the knowledge, the ability and the
The PEOPLE Of the state elected her to that position by a
large majority vote over Macdonald. This being true,
eve. il there existed technical defects IN the list OF col

gracefully, so far as he was concerned, and would have
