Passing of Old Order.

This week the senate seat Of the late Boies
Penrose of Pennsylvania, for years leader Of
the old guard, reactionary of reactfonaries, was
assigned to William S. Kenyon of Iowa, styled
in news dispatches as 1.-THE very antithesis in
politics" Of Penrose. The seat is the third
from the main aisle in the front row on the
Republican side and by the new arrangement
Hiram Johnson of California also moves into
the front row, three seats from Kenyon.
There is more than mere senate geography
in this change. 1t goes much beyond that, for
the passing of Penrose marks the demise of the
old order, and the ascendency of Kenyon, as
leader of the well-advertised farm bloc, is con-
elusive evidence of the new. This week, too,
the senate passed the bill to place a farmer on
the federal reserve board. Much politics in
that, but it is of considerable significance, never
theless. 1t is additional proof of the change
One writer says, in reference to the farmers
and the dismay caused in old guard circles by
the farm bloc: -"Al they do is cultivate the SOIL
pay taxes produce the sons and daughters that
do the successful work in the cities, then feed
the entire natien, and supply the crops that
constitute the real national wealth. But there
is nothing in that, apparently, that justifies
their playing any really important part in the
government
But, regardless OF the way the old guard
feels. the race is getting beyond them. Penrose,
recent senate leader, specialized in legislation
concerning the tariff taxation and organized
industry. Kenyon specializes in legislation
concerning agriculture, labor, education and
social reform.

The Father of the Automobile.

The man who produced the first gasoline
driven vehicle in the world has been taken by
death. He was George H. Selden Of Rochester,
N. Y. He was in his 18th year 1t seems but
a few years since Selden made crude gasoline
engine, installed it in freak carriage and drove
around town to the establishment Of all the
people The horseless carriage had arrived.
Nobody imagined then, not even Selden him
self, that this queer vehicle was the start of
a great industry which would revolutionize
transportation and change the habits of mil
lions of people. And it may be said that Sell
den was not youth when he invented the first
automobile-for the gasoline car is a develop
ment of recent decades. Selden was referred
to as a freak. People tapped their heads with
their fingers as he walked down the street or
tried to convince people that the gasoline would
propel a vehicle. But he kept at work. There
have been many freaks who have contributed
to civilization and progress Columbus, Frank
lin, Marconi Westinghouse, Bell, Mccormick
Stevenson, the Wright brothers, Edison, Bur-
bank and thousands of others.
All of which goes to prove that it does not
always pay to look with suspicion and reproach
upon the man who works along original lines.
Some young man who is working today in
garage or electrical laboratory with wireless
telephone transmitters OF receivers may work
out a system of telephony which will replace
the wire system now in use. Some freak with
more vision than his perfectly normal COM
panions may even now be developing new and
unthought of uses for electricity or magnetism.
Forty years ago when Selden was working on
a gasoline engine most people seemed to think
that the greatest inventions had already been
perfected-yet since then has come the auto
mobile, the airplane, the wireless, the fast
printing presses, electrical labor savers and
hundreds of things which are now classed with
the essentials of life-and scientists tell us to-
day that we only entering the age of me-
chanical progress.

a mere mortal to take It away. 1t leaves Will
lism's boastings of Is years even poorer stuff
than the world thought them at the time. OF
course the truth is that William got the crown
because his grandfather-whom no sensible
man ever mistook for heaven-,won it by war.
William lost it by the same method. But he
was poor loser. There was nothing kingly.
nothing majestic, nothing of the virtue of lead
ership in his downfall. He ran away from his
army, his crown and his people and made him
self safe. He did that for which the private
soldier in his own army is shot 1t is bad
enough for private soldier to run away. There
is an Italian proverb that says there is only
one thing that will pierce the shell of the tor
toise. 1t is neither fire, nor steel, nor dia-
mond-it is contempt If William is content
to accept the plea put forth for him in this cor
respondence, then there has been found in tho
Hohenzollerns a substance harder than the
shell of the tortoise.

Great Britain and France.

Although they do not think much of al
liances, even for other nations, Americans cant
find much to criticise in the new British French
alliance arranged by Lloyd George and Prem
Ter BRAND at Cannes. The definite obligations
assumed may seem rather one-sded. Great
Britain pledges herself to go to the aid of
France with all her fighting power, as, she did
in 1914, if France is again attacked by Ger
many. That obligation, however may sound
bigger than it really is. Germany is not now,
and is not likely to be for many years, in a
become powerful enough again, the very exis-
tence of this defensive alliance will doubtless
prove an effective barrier. Everybody knows
that Germany would not have started the war
in 1914 if she had known that Britain would
have come in.
And Britain gets her full equivalent, as US
ual French militarism is deprived of all legiti-
even if she wanted to, arm against England or
any other country the pretense that she. is
arming against Germany. Britain. moreover,
will have freer hand to shape the German
reparations according to her own idea, and to
foster the revival of central European industry
trade and consuming power for the sake OF
Britains own business prosperity. In all this
America gains. without giving anything in re-
turn. The guarantee is practically the same
as the three-party agreement which France in
sisted upon at Versailles, pledging Britain and
America to defend France except that America
is now left out

Too Quick On Trigger.

Many persons maintain that it is good policy
to shoot first and ask questions afterward.
Because they believe in that and follow it
numerous innocent persons have been killed for
no reason except that fools were too quick on
the trigger. Nervousness and a firearm form
bad combination, especially when that ner-
vousness is not controlled by a brain that
knows when it is necessary to act for ones
own protection. 1t may be, and doubtless is, a
splendid thing to be proficient in the use Of
firearms and to have accuracy of aim. Life
frequently depends the bullet hitting it's
mark, and yet much life is sacrificed because
the nervous finger the trigger and the
shaky brain behind it are too impulsive. Boys
| who play basketball and football have learned
lIthat it is easy to initiate the elongated sphere
by taking air from automobile tires, and a
youngster lies shot through the head in New
York because the owner of the motor car which
the boy sought to make use of shot him be-
fore knowing exactly what was going on. The
boy may have been stealing, but it was only
air that he stole and that, as every motorist
knows is free at all filling stations. Air for
tires costs nothing, not even patronage in the
purchase of gasoline.
DIR. William Zukerman probably would not
have fired the automatic at 15-year-old Samuel
Markham if he had known that the youth mere
~ was taking air for his basketball Some
men might shoot anyway, but most persons
would not. DR.. Zukerman made his mistake
by not ascertaining first what the boy was do
Ing. He now tells tht police that he thought
the boy was stealing the tire, yet the boy ran
away from the car, parked at the curb, and
did not have the tire with him.
Persons have been killed by members of
their own families just because of nervous
trigger fingers. noise in the house at night
is sufficient for some persons to seize their re-
volvers and blaze away. 1t is much better to
suffer loss through late shot that misses,
than to shoot too quickly and then pay for it
with life time of bitter remorse

Fussing With Little Iniuries.

The color and odor of tincture of
iodine are soothing, even to the doc
tors imagination, although the val
ne of this old fayorite as a first aid
disinfectant for wounds has been
called into question by unroman-
tic surgeons and psychologists
who have scientifically tested the
measure. Dr. NJ. B. Tinker, of Cor
nell Medical school, conducted
painstaking experiments several

was in the widespread surgical
fancy that iodine is a good skin dis
infectant. DR.. Tinker's conclusions
were not at all complimentary to
the scientific judgment of his sur
gical colleagues. He made out that
iodine painted on the skin before
an operation is little more than To-
cal color. That other old favor
lite of the surgeon of an elder era,
iodoform, is noted as a good medi-
UNI to grow certain germs inland

faith in iodine, though to be sure,

Wilhelm's Sacrifice.

1t is the apparent purpose of the publica-
ton of ex-Emperor Williams letter to Marshal
Hindenburg to show that Williams flight from
Germany act of self Refinement a he
Toic sacrifice of himself in order that the peo-
pie of Germany might more successfully pIa-
cate the allies But William takes no chances
with single defense. strong as he may affect
to believe it. He provides double defense in
case of accident-a cautiousness that cannot
fail to remind of the flight itself. His second
defense is that his flight, whether it be accepted
as the act of generous or selfish ruler, was
advised by Hindenburg himself There is no
doubt about Hindenburg's loyalty. He permits
this complexion to be put on the act. He pub
fishes on his own responsibility the ex-kais-
er's letter in which William pointedly calls
attention to the fact that he sought refuge in
Holland only on the urgent representations of
you and my other responsible advisers" and
thus accepts for himself whatever censure may
be involved. But IL that the object of the
correspondence 1t has not been achieved. There
are certain responsibilities of which a ruler
cannot divest himself. That is a principle
which William himself always had upheld
rather noisily and with much circumstance
when he was on the throne. The world rejected
many of his pretensions, but men everywhere,
whether monarchs republicans, have con-
coed the virtue or leadership that consists in
standing fast by the post of duty. Good leader
or bad leader he is at least leader who sticks
to his cause and wins or loses with it
William had spent % years proclaiming to
somewhat bored world that he was the leader
of the German tribes. that his will was law 10
them. and that his crown was not bestowed by
men or by pariiaments, but by heaven ITSELF
Tnat would be all very grand If the event had
proved to be true. but William himself furnished
the proof that it was not true. Heaven didn't
advise him to run for it-Hindenburg did If
heaven gave William his crown he made a
mighty poor return to the giver in permitting

sweetly.
But the seed of suspicion had
fallen on fertile ground, and when
that evening George telephoned that
he would not be home until late,
Sibyl recalled that the same thing
had happened the first of the week,
when George was supposed to be
working late at the Office, and when
she had called the place, he was
not there.
There was but one course to take.
She would see this Marvello and
find out the truth.
The following afternoon, Sibyl
was ushered to seat in the third
row of the darkened theatre, Just
before the mystic's act came on.
The strains of the music were
hushed, as the curtain slowly as
cended, disclosing a most attractive
stage setting. Against purple
velvet background stood two mas
sive urns, from which vapory
clouds of fragrant incense rose.
Two boys in Hindu costume, their
hands solemnly folded across their
chests, fianked either side of the
velvet curtain.
Amid dense silence, Marvello

"Oh. well, of course he couldn't
