SOl A AN THEE EXPERT WORKMAN AND THE NOVICE AT THE TRADE So far as we know nobody doubts the personal merits, good sense and fine character of John Stockton, but that is no reason at all why he should disnlace Duncan U. Fletcher in the United States Senate, for no- body doubts that Senator Fletcher is equally well equipped as Stockton with the qualities above mentioned. But the Senator nas the large ad- vantage of Stockton that he is now through years of experience an ex- pert at his job and by fitness and service has reached the point where he can give the largest measure of usefulness to his constituents. In other words, he is now the highly trained workman who through nat- ural aptitude, diligence at his task and ample experience has reached the necessary standard of efflcienc_\" for a high-class public servant, and to “fire him from his job” at this time would be as senseless and un- business-like as to discharge an ex- pert engineer rendering perfect ser- vice to take on an amateur without record or experience whose only cap- ital consisted of his abundant prom- | ises, his entire willingness, his na- tive good sense and unimpeachable character. That illustrates the is- sue with perfect fairness between Fletcher and Stockton.

FICTION FROM THE SEAT OF WAR One of our serious objections to; war, in addition to the slaughter, discomfort and cost, is that it so stimulates the human imagination that it is hard to tell fact from fic- tion and breeds so many deliberate liars that the honest historian who| comes along later on to write up the scrap in permanent form has an al- most impossible task in arriving at the truth amid a prodigious mass of falsehood. Here for instance we find a dispatch from the City of Mex- ico under date of Jan. 24 purport- ing to state an actual occurrance. It as as follows: “One hundred women and chil- dren and a hundred and fifty federal soldiers were massacred by the reb- els near Vanegras, north of Sanluis Potosi recently, according to reports received here today.
