THE CAMPAIGN DISCUSSION.

The issues OF the pending campaign,
national and State. nre being ably
and intclligently discussed by Thomas
+. Bayard. Democratic candidate for
United States Senator, and Judge Will
liam II. Boyce, Democratic candidate
for Representative in Congress. In
their speeches they have laid bare the
improbable record Of the Republican
national administration, tho glaring
inefilciency OF tho state and county
dministrations--with tho exception
Of Kent county. which. under Demo-
cratic control, is ably managed--and
the scandalous manner I'm which taxes
have been piled upon the people. They
are awakening the people to tho ne
ccssity for a change.
But It Is different with the Repub-
lican candidates, orators and news
papers. They are appealing TO the
people to vote solely with me purpose
Of supporting tho Republican party
by returning Republican Congress
TO Washington. They veinly strive
to put a good face upon the record OF
the Republican national administrn-
ton. which has done practically moth
ing to relieve the people OF tho burden
OF war taxes, has been so extrava-
CANT In expenditures that deficit of
nearly three-auarters OF n billion dol
lars is now In plain sight. and has
increased the already high cost OF liv-
ing by the enactment OF Tariff law
carrying prohibitive duties.
State and county issues. Of such
large Importance 10 our people. are
ignored by these partisan Republican
orators and newspapers. but the
Democratic candidates are giving
them full and revealing attention.
A political party that can make only
partisan appeal, and point 10 no sub
stantial benefit from partisan rule II
support OF its plea, does not deserve
Endorsement by tho people.

A. POLITICAL GAME.

Following close on the Daugherty
Prohibition injunction. by which
n,reign ships are TO be deprived OF
freedom on and under their own decks,
and by which the oceans of the world
are 20 be put under the jurisdiction
OF the Anti-Saloon League, the Com
mander of the Faithful, Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes. is to be dis
patched 10 Ohio to stump the State IN
the interests OF virtue and OF the Re-
publican administration in Washing
ton. He goes, II is stated, as Mr.. Hard
ing's ambassador extraordinary and
minister plenipotent!ary. and he is
sent to make Ohio realize what
great man Il has at the National Cap
ital, nd that though his body dwells
far off "in marble halls" his heart
still beats among the plain and pious
people of his native State.
The Anti-Saloon League has been
wforking for the administration in
Ohio, and Mr.. Harding. through his
injunction friend, Mr. Daugherty. is
working for the Anti-Saloon League In
Washington. Turnabout is only fair
play. The League needed aid on the
sea, and Mr.. Harding needed aid in
the Ohio campaign as well as in his
subsidy campaign. So the bargain was
struck. Daugherty issues an injunc-
ton against all outside nations for
the benefit of the League. and the
League redoubles it's efforts to keep
Ohio loyal TO Warren. If Ohio should
by any miracle. go Democratic, Mr.
Harding's denomination would be inn
possible. Hence Mr.. Daugherty's cam
pa!gn gesture of Prohibition defiance
TO all foreign devils and Commission
ers' Haynes forthcoming invasion of
Ohio 10 make It safe for Mr.. Harding.
50 far as Prohibition on foreign
ships is concerned, Mr.. Daugherty's s
latest injunction will be laughed to
scorn. But just suppose the Democrats
should win in Ohio in November, what
would remain of Mr.. Harding's hope of
reelection? And how cold the ocean
winds would be TO an American mer-
chant marine-lesing at one fell swoop
both the consoling warmth of the
rum devil and the compensa ting heat
OF a comfortable subsidy. Perhaps the
| bluff OF the Administration and its
Anti-Saloon League partners may
J work temporarily: hut y u Sh--uIdu' T.

MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION
THE GULF STREAM.

Aquatic antics Of one kind or an
other seem indispensable to the pub
lie imagination. They are most sue
ccssful In their effect when they are
executed by some mysterious and
fabulous animal more or less amphlh-
ious by nature. The sea serpent for
n long time performed this service
admirably. He did not confine his
appearance exclusively to any body Of
water. Emotional observers might
sight him one day off the Long Island
sympathics that he was reported the
next day from some lake In Texas
Thus did his impartial activity hold
during many years an honored place
for him In the heart of the public
He could be counted on to add a
FLIP OF maritime mystery to every
summer.
Now he is gone II is not possible
to say whether his departure was
fastened by legislative action. At all
events, is is doubtful IL his career was
heightened by the Eighteenth
Amendment. The plesiosaurus re-
Gently reported as lurking In u re-
mote Andean lake OF Patagonia failed
to qualify as the successor 10 the sea
serpent. In spite of the earnest eff
forts to find this monster the investi-
gators returned without exact data
The effort to capture the plesiosaurus
was finally abandoned when tho ex-
pedition was confronted with tho baf-
ding news. on lndubitable authority
that the beast had been seen In two
places at the same time.
Now there seems reason to believe
that substitute for this popular pur-
Neyor of mystery has at last been
found. Perhaps the personal note Is
lacking in such a meteorological crea-
ton as the Gulf Stream compared e
the sea serpeant. II is doubtful II the
same sffcctionate regard could ever
be felt for what is. after all, no nearer
our sympathies than the Equator. foi
instance; but the Gulf Stream is at.
tracing attention by its antics. II Is
reported to be slipping from itl
course. TO he so hot that It IL no longer
possible TO touch II and TO he I'm other

LLOYD GEORGES OVERTHROW.

David Lloyd George. Ensland's
great Premier. has at last run his un.
defeated course, and met with a politi-
cal check which may compel him
either to retire from public life or
seek a vindication at the hands of
the British voters. At q meeting of
leaders OF the Conservative party. in
cluding it's members Of Parliament
and OF the cabinet. yesterday, It was
decided by vote OF 1876 to 81. that
the Conservative party would appeal
10 the country as a separate and dis
tinct political organization, Having
the largest number OF members in the
present House Of Commons, this ac-
ton meant the dissolution OF the
powerful combination OF various po-
litlcal elements that hsve supported
the Ministry OF Lloyd George and Sc
cured to it, on various momentous oc-
casions. the backing Of n large major
ity in Commons.
Premier Lloyd George and his min
listers at once presented their resig-
nations to the King. A. Ponar Law
was asked 20 form a new cabinet, but
general election Is expected before
long.
Lloyd George. for more than a
decade. has been notable figure in
the national politics Of Great Britain.
For years, in the face Of bitter oppo-
sition and deep discouragcment, he
had persistently fought for national
leadership and at last attained the
goal OF his ambition. Soon afterwards
came the war. and his successful con-
duct OF the government throughout
that momentous crisis and during the
work Of restoration thus far. has been
brilliant and remarkably successful
Now he has 20 step down.
But the Little welshman" Will &c
into history as one OF Great Britain,
ablest and most resourceful Premiers
Should he decide TO retire to pr1vat,

tinction than most OF his predecessor.

AVOIDING RAILROAD STRIKES.

Railroad companies, their employees
and the public alike have reason for
being pleased with the statement OF w
g. Lee. President OF the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen. that the Bis
Four combination has dissolved and
that there is no further probability of
concerted and countrywide strikes
over questions relating 10 wages and
working rules. The shopmens strike
was costly TO the companies and to
the strikers: tho men gained nothing
by their fight and lost good deal
Therefore MIR. Leo takes tho ground
that the companies and tho men will
do better To get together" az In the
days preceding government inter
ference and settle their differences
without threats OF calling strikes. The
statement further implies that all
parties have had enough of govern
ment regulation OF wages and con-
ditions OF employment and are dis
posed TO meet I'm a spirit of fairness
instead OF carrying their disputes to
the Federal Labor Board. This general
programme is indicative of long
time of peace in the transportation
field. and passengers and shippers are
thus given a larger hope OF uninter-
rupted service.
The objections TO the national agree
ment inherited from the Wilson Ad-
ministration are based upon It's inflex-
/ ibility. no allowances being made for
local conditions. In some parts of the
country living is cheaper than In
others, yet under the national contract
the man employed at a farm crossing
where living expenses are moderate
receives as much as the man obliged
to meet the high prices prevailing in
New York, Philadelphia or Chicago
| The dropping of the national agree
ment enables the companies and their
employees TO make company or region
al agreements adapted to varying con-
ditions. This Is one OF the best fea-
lures OF the new plan.-Providenct

HOLDING ON TO OFFICE.

About Office holders 1t was aptly
said, many years ago: Few die and
none resign" This expresses the gen.
eral desire Of those who once secure
a public office OF prestige or profit TO
hold on to it as long AZ possible. And
especially does this inclination to hold
on apply 10 those who once secure
foothold in what are called the court
house Offices
For years these court house posi-
tons were filled by gubernatorial ap-
pointment. They were remunerated
by fees. and their duties were, and
still are. such as any man or woman
Of average intelligence can eficiently
perform. And a prestige attaches 20
them that is very pleasing.
During the appointment era It fire.
quently was comparatively easy for
the occupant OF one Of these ONCE.
! to secure resppointment. As st was
entirely within the province OF the
appointing power. But in 1898, under
the new Constitution. these Offices
became elective. The incumbent de-
string reelection had to take the pre-
carious chances Of renomina ton a,
his party primaries and the result OF
the voting at the election. Few have
been the reflections under the new
system.
