gresham who served during the en-
tire Roosevelt administration. lie had
the distribution of federal patronage
in his state, and saw to it that a son
and a daughter and a brother and a
son-in-law were provided with sala
ries
This came to Roosevelts attention,
and he promptly had all of the rela-
tives separated from their federal
jobs He had Frank II, Hitchcock go
into that state and put IN republ
can organization that ousted the con-
gresham from the position of nation
al committeeman, and would have
beaten his denomination had not Il
stroke of apoplexy ended the career
of this nepotist
Roosevelt knew that nothing could
do a party so much harm as for one
family to attempt to hog the sala-
ries, and he sternly frowned down
every attempt of that sort during his
administration.
Also he let it be known that en-
ployment of any relative of his as
attorney before the would
meet with his displeasure. Probably
he had in mind the case of a south
ern governor who permitted a close
relative to become a pardon broker
until it became a state and almost Il
national scandal
Roosevelt was one of the shrewdest
politicians this nation ever has known.
He seemed to know intuitively what
the voters would approve or disap-
prove. 1t takes a big man to consider
popular sentiment before the financial
advantage of himself and his rela-
tives.

The alliance would be based on

admittedly be selfish. If it succeeded
1t would bring special economic ad-

you prefer. Ii It succeeded, it would

less than world federation can be
permanently satisfactory There are
ages of tendency behind it.
II is better to aim at justice and
fail than aim at world domination and
succeed. But if the league is not
sure OF success, at any rate. the alli-
ance is sure of failure Even a sue
cessful alliance would be the betrayal
of all that we have fought for in this
war Could there be any worse
failure?
Now / have insisted on these diff
ferences between the alliance and the
league of nations. To some persons
1t may seem superfluous. But the
difference is, fundamental, and the
danger lies right here: that those who
are in effect advocating an alliance
are In some cases giving nominal ad-
herence to the league of nations.
The expression, league of nations, does
not in itself imply the real signifi-
canoe of the ideal and statement of
this and of the European countries
are in some cases pretending to advo-
cate a league of nations when what
they really have in mind Is an old
fashioned alliance. They have ac-
cepted the words, but they haven't
accepted the idea
There will be very decided dvi-
sion among delegates to the peace
conference as to what the league
ought to be like. Our delegation will
be urging a thoroughgoing league of
nations as outlined from time to. time
IN Wilson'S speeches. Some of the
old world statesmen will prefer the
old-fashioned alliance. Some persons
think that England, France and Italy
will line IN against the United States.
Others think that England and the
United States will be found working
together. and that France and Italy
will iii the end defer to our opinion.

some of the elements of strength in

THE NEW YORK WORLD ON
KITCHiN.

Some of our democratic friends
took exception, during the last cam
paign. TO the Journals charges tina
Democratic Floor Leader Kitchin had
taken revenge on the newspapers, al
leging that they had started the war
and that he had been chiefly instru-
mental in drafting and securing the
passage of revenue legislation which
Disseminated against the northern
states by shifting the burden almost
entirely from the south
Senator Jones of New Mexico made
an unfortunate effort in the senate
recently to defend the revenue bill
He was compelled to admit that the
Journals charges were correct in
every particular. ..
Now comes the New York World
Il newspaper that has defended the
administration in every particular and
that for nearly twenty years has sup
ported every democratic ticket in the
nation and in New York City and
state, with the following statement
regarding Kitchin:
There is nothing improbable in The
report that Chairman Kitchin angriS

ROOSEVELT OPPOSED NEPoTIsM

Let it be said for Colonel Roosevelt
that one of his greatest efforts was to
secure honesty and efficiency in the
public service. During his admins
tration he saw IL it that no official
named by him was allowed to place in
office relatives TO be taken care of al
public expense
Nepotism--the nephewism of the
old Romans is a term which covers
the appointment of sons and daugh-
tiers and nephews and cousins in pub
lie service, From the time of the an
cient Romans such policy has been
condemned by public sentiment. \
Few senator's, representatives, cabi-
net officers and state officials who
have practiced it have ever been pop
ular favorites. Generally those who
have so abused public positions have
never been able to secure reelection,
if their positions were such as to sub
ject them to the ordeal of the ballot
box.

war-there are five congressional dis

France and lost about thirty-three

tives in a series of hotly contested

FRANCE STILL MENACED.

When Bismarck attacked France in
1870, the population Of Germany Was
thirty mine million and that of France
thirty-seven. The seizure of Alsace-
Lorraine took two millions of people
from France and added shem to Ger
many. When the great war began in
August, 1914, the population of Ger
many was close to seventy millions
probably mere rather than less.
But the population of France at
that time was below forty millions,
During twenty-three years preceding
the war the population of France had
ing the whole of the nineteenth cen
fury the population of France was
nearer at a standstill than any other
people of whom we have vital statis-
tics.
In forly-four years Germany had
outgrown France by approximately
thirty millions. due principally TO the
high German birth rate.
The actual births in France de-
clined from about nine hundred thou
sand in 1901 to about eight hundred
THOUSAND in 1901; though deaths had
also declined. But in 1907 deaths in
France exceeded births by twenty
thousand, and there was no epidemic
and no war.
xtrne tI1pn hot hh n
to point to France Gas decadent
Upon this population, merely hold
ing its own under favorable conditions
of peace, has come the loss of two
million men by war--the flower of
the nation. or these perhaps mill
lion and a half are dead and a half
million are totally disabled from
wounds and sickness, Thus one
twentieth of tho population is wiped
out and at least one-twentieth of the
industry has been obliteratcd
TO this must be added three million
captives cruelty cnfeebled by starYa-
ton and abuse. BY reason Of the Ger
man blight there are a million and a
half French war-widows or women
who never can marry; and to this
must be added the fact that when
the war began there We're million
more women than men in France.
Therefore, under the most favora
BILE circumstances France. forty years
from now. will not have a population
to exceed forty millions.
Germany, on the other hand. has
lost about three millions out of sew
cnty But not an acre of German soil
has been sterilized by the war and
not German factory has been dis
mantled. The Germans taken prison.
err are being returned in good physi-
cal and mental condition.
In six years Germany's loss of pop
ulation will be made up, and in forty
years the population will not be less
than eighty millions-double that Of
France.
Clemenceau knows these facts,
therefore. he is not willing that any
pacifist influence that will expose
France, forty years from now, to the
fangs of the Hun shall prevail at the
peace conference.
