He is confident that the incoming Roosevelt Admin- istration will work out a satisfactory legislative and executive plan to aid progress and permit business to function effectively. He said among other things: We can confidently look forward to a future for this country in which working conditions will steadily be improved, hours of work will be shortened, and the insatiable demand for better living conditions will con- tinue.

(Seattle Times.) South Africa has thrown a monkey-wrench into the machinery of British Empire cooperation. Orders have been issued prohibiting the export of gold from that country. Practically all the yellow treasure wrenched from the Rand, richest of all auriferous properties, has gone straight to London, where it has constituted a prized source of supply for the Bank of England. The new ruling in South Africa may be due to its desire that the country’s gold standard shall be maintained, despite the fact Britain temporarily has abandoned that policy, but there is more than a suggestion it is the outgrowth of the hostile atti- tude assumed toward the insular government by the Boer clement in the Dominion. Some foreign critics may see in this situation a case of “chickens coming home to roost,” while others will marvel at the bad taste of those who have picked Britain's hour of trial as the one in which to start heckling it. classed in the tribe of self-seeking politic- ians. He belonged to an intermediate category peculiar to his country and per- haps to his time, that of the political sports- man whose sole interest is in the fun of the game. As a game he loved politics with an absorbing passion and he came to play it with a proficiency which elevated him to the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Commmittes, but each time it was suggested to him that he might become g a professional in the sense of holding of- ‘ g fice as Governor or Senator he promptly : vetoed the idea. He didn't like politics | that way. His whole career was a consistent de- velopment of this curious relationship—at once ardent and. detached—to the sport of his fancy. It is recorded of him that he first decided to become a newspaper man when, at the tender age of eighteen, in Wheeling, W. Va., he saw how influenaial with the politicians was the editor of the local paper. He determined then to own a news- paper of his own and with characteristic courage and energy set about realizing this preliminary ambition. The story of his establishment of “The Buffalo Times” and of its growth into a paper of commanding importance needs no repetition here. The point is that as soon as he could spare the time from its management he used his paper first to launch himself in local politics and thereafter both as a pawn in the game and as the means of his detach- ment from it. It is significant that he always called himself a newspaper man ® high hat that though, of course, nationally he was known The Epsmsior-Detieral NAS $0 DI 9 the Department had to get a new car for him.

He did not believe in Bryan's currency formula but he Sup- ported him whole-heartedly none the less as his party’s canidate, just as he had sup- ported Cleveland beforehand, and as after- ward he championed Parker, Wilson, and, in fact, every Democratic standard bearer what- ever his complexion. Naturally he was beloved. A sportsman for sport's sake is a happy, warm human being whose friendliness is infectious. He became famous as a harmonizer, always in- jecting into the discordant councils of his party some of his own spirit of good-natured team play. This was no inconsiderable serv- . ice, certainly to his party and, if one believes in the essential beneficence of the two-party system, quite as certainly to his country. It should not be underestimated. His loss will be felt. It is being shown that what Sherman really said was that war is hell in more ways than one. That is better, as it includes the collection of war debts.—(Toledo Blade.) o A Congress won't be really impressed until an army of taxpayers marches to Washington merely to demonstrate the use of the ax.—(Cincinnati En- quirer.)

She hur- ried into her house and flung herself from room to room. She had come to the open win- dow of the morning-room and, as she stood before it, the sound of the'children’s voices drifted in. Mark’s was thin with petulance. Barbara’s unusually round and vi- brant for a child of six. Her honeygold curls bobbed into view as she darted onto the lawn in pursuit of a rolling ball.

Then Sam Lodely went deter- minedly across the lawn down a path - sentinelled with goldenrod, and shut himself into a distant summer-house. Little Barbara Quentin, looking gravely after him, nodded to herself as though she conned over a lesson. The sound of the shot came al- most immediately.
