Departing from the methods of men thoroughly wrapped up in politics, Mr. Cummings deals withithe opponents of his party ‘with kindliness and grace, not excori- ; ating them, not holding them up to ridicule. but}pointing out falacies that ire existentimerely because people are In this day and generation it behoves a man, no matter to what political organization he may belong, to study both sides of each and be seen .upon a ligh usual blinded by# partisanship. every presented. it isieasy enough to get the idea that therejis but one way of looking at a thing.

An old colored man who was before Judge Sanford for drunkenness y terday and had his sentence suspend- ed, largely on account of his old age, which must be nearly eighty years, in an effort to brace up his reputation for truth and veracity remarked to one of the court officers: *“I always mean and intends to tell de troof, T does, even if I has to lie a little to do it.”—Berkshire Courier A nation that, in order to save day- light, has to resort to the hypocritical expedient of moving its clock hands back an hour, instead of honestly re- ising its daily schedule, is made of same stern stuff intellectually as the suburbanite who tries to fool him- self into catching his train by keeping his watch five minutes rast. As bellig- gerent nations on both sides have done it, there is nothing in this observation to offend the most conscientious inter- preters of the duty of neutrality.— New York Sun Billy Lorimer’s Ambition. (New York Sun.) Having won acquitta¥ on charges of embezzlement and conspiracy growing out of the collapse of his banking en- terprise, William Lorimer, the Blond Boss of Chicago, has announced that will offer himself as a candidate for the Tnited States senatorship from Tlli- nois. His previoms election to that body was effected by a combination of naturally discordant elements in the legislature, the formation of which s the subject of two investigations. The second of them resulted in Lori- mer’s expulsion. That degradation was accomplished in spite of the fact that many of the members had not heard or read the testimozy in either proceeding. Senator Johnston of Alabama said that not more than twenty senators had done so. Sena- tor Dillingham of Vermont, after the most painstaking study, gave judgment for Lorimer. The impres- sion produced at the time was that Lorimer was convicted outside the Senate chamber, condemned by the public, and a court uninformed as to the evidence pronounced judgment in accordance with the popular will. Under the circumstances Lorimer’s plan to seek vindication at the polls is easily to be understood. His long experience has taught him that the more violent popular denunciation of a politician is the quicker it sub- sides. The personal charities, the early struggles he recited in vain be- fore the senate make a powerful ap- peal to the electorate; the payment of his debts will build reputation for him in many quarters ;and a martyr can usually count on a following. Moreover, if Lorimer cannot get back into the senate, he may at least be able to thwart the ambitions of his enemies, and in that he would find balm for his wounds. Sad Faced Thinkzys. (Newark News.)

Authors Who Do Not Grow, (Springfield Republican.) In many of the well-deserved tributes to the late Richard Harding Davis there was a certain nate of disappointment that a career which bhad promised so much had not led to more. Something of the same feel- ing was apparent in much of the comment on the fiftieth birthday of Rudyard Kipling, whase literary though he is at an age when many though heis at an age when many sreat writers have been but getting their stride. Disappointment of this €Ort is natural, when much has heen expected of a promising yvoung atthor its expression is likelv to be unju: There are precociaus tal- ents as well as those which mature slowly and late, and to blame a writer of, one kind for not continu- ing to grow is as unreasonable ta blame one of the other sort for being so slow to develop his pawers. On the whole a late, slow and diffi- cult success seems to be best for an author’s art, while prompt recog- nition of early talent gives a plea: anter life. The clever young writer who hits a popular vein is enviable while it lasts, but if success has come before his ideals are well established and his life work found and mapped out, he may become the slave of his public and find his most danszerous rival in his own early work. This danger is perhaps greatost | when early success comes not much from solid artistic skill as from novelty of themc and a fresh way of laoking at things, The writer who draws from within is usually slow in shaping his thoughts and forcing them on the public. On the other hand, a quick and observant eve and a facile style may at once strike a lucky vein which is none the less valuable for heing It was placer mining, in Davis's case | as in Kipling’s, and to find fault with cither of them for not finding the deeper lode is not quite reasonahle. R. L. Stevenson, the idol and friend of yvoung writers, once wrote to Davis a kindly note with apprec tion of his early writings and some wise words in regards to the neces- ity of hard ‘slogging” if one wauld convert a promising talent into sub- stantial achievement., But it is prob- ably more difficult for one whose efforts have wan applause and com- mercial success than for the tardily appreciated writer like Stevenson to iake the necessary sacrifices. Im- provement involves experiment, and and experiment risks failure; it is easier to go on giving the public what it has come to expect. In the case of Kipling the matter is mare complicated. TIn addition to his precocious gift for reporting. he had a real if thin and intermittent Streak of genius, and his critical sense, at first inactive, grew with his knowledge o flife and of books till it may have outstripped and inter- fered with his power ta create Though he has frequently in later vears published things unworthy of his pen, they have for the most part Peen occasional. It is possible that he may yet develop a new style and a new meter, but for the present his genius appears to have exhausted itself, It was suite otherwise Wwho made no pretense to had facility in writing, and active tastes which took him in the way of interesting things and gave him an unfailing supply of fresh impressions and of mater that made good ‘“‘copy.” These conditions were the most favorable possible fc im- mediate 1CCesS, but immediate success was perhaps the least favor- able condition for the show rivening of though and stvle needed for sus- tained erowth. But to deplore his fallure to develop, and many other young American writers are in the same case, is hardly worth while. T'he disappointment, felt by some of his warmest admirer: due in no small part to overestimate of the significance of the carly worlk which be did so well, and to a failure to appreciate the enormous gan between clever light writing of that sort and the serious literary work to which he probably never aspired. He should rather be praised far keeping on the whole so well to his own level when there were so many temptations to fall below it. but superficial. with Davis, genius, but Moving. (Manchester Herald.) The movers have been Moving day has come and gone, the movers with it, arriving or leav- ing as may have been the casc. In- deed the movers have become a vast | army. Likely as not they were married from the homes they were born in. They knew every tree, every blade of grass in the old home. They knew where to step to avoid the immemorially loose board in the upper hall And that was the su- preme test to elude the detection of mother downstairs, while enzagcd in some piece of childish mischief. Now these same people take leases for a year, and every May or October finds them packing their goods into moving vans on the way to paslures —or apartments—new. It would seem to be at least half true that America has become wholly restless. This continual moving may be a man- ifestation of wrongly directed ner- vous energy. Nothing more {han an uneasy sort of dissatisfaction might seem to be the cause, finding vent not in standing by and impiov- ing conditions but in a la from consequences of previous bad judgment. They come, they see, thev not conquer, on the approved Caes- arian model—but move. Where such t for the mos us and with escape spi h is the reason fact con- a secricus arraignment of les and ideals. But ness is not all the truth. The cause of much of the moving is a good thing—hope. Many of the movers are not driven .out-by sheer restless- ng hahit, restless- | in ness into quarters no better than he- fore. Hope and expectation beckon them on, out of discomfort into new discomfort often enough, but som times into comfort. The movers eec in their mind's eyes more spa- cious living rooms, easier way of do- ing work. Gardens, porches, great- or health and purer happiness figure in their dreams. calls to the owning.of homes. It is hard work and expensive and unpleasant, this moving business. No one likes those day when the housewife’'s rugs don't come from the cleaner, and a meal with all the proper dishes is an event, and the gas leaks or the coal chimney refuses to draw But that after all is only known pains and penalties and ter- rors of moving, in full consciousness of which these .intrepid souls never theless embark on their great 2dven- ture. Sometimes they are repaid, times not. But if not, why are short and Father Time has not Most of all, hope | | binding - | purpose in putting them before some- leases ! exhausted his stock of May and Octo- ! ber firsts. If the movers are repaid, those days of discomfort, fatigue and irritation pass. And if the new home means broader and more abun- dant life, greater possibilities man service, perhaps then, after all, the army of movers is not entirely an indictment of the flux and restless ness of the nation. There is some- | thing of an indication in it all of the national growth and opportunity. panese In The Philippines. (Manila Times). Following the recent purchase the extensive land holding of the Philippine Sugar Estate Company by a Japanese concern, it was learned today that negotiations entered into some time ago between Dr. A. A. Ad- dison, a well-known Tayabas prop- crty owner, and a Japanese firm have been concluded for the sale and imn- mediate transfer.of thirty-three tracts of land situated in the province of Tavabas. Four hundred and ¥ thousand pesos was the price agreed on in the contract, which was signed last Thursday, and under which Dr. Addison is to turn over the property in question as soon as the first pay- ment has been made. Dr. Addison today confirmed the re- ported sale and added that he wonld leave within a few days for Tayabas province for the purpose of turning over the land to its new owner. Incidental to the above mentioned sales, comes the report from Minanao that a number of American and Span- ish plantation owners in Minanao have been approached by Javanese agents with a view to buying up heir plantations. In this connection it was rumored that not less than five Vig plantations, owned by Americans and Spaniards, will soon be trans- ferred by Japanese owners. Plattsburg. Haven Register.)

There are many peace societies, arbitration leagues and hrotherly- love - among - nations organizations nowadays that the natural impulse is to lump them all under the classi- fication of ‘‘pacifists’ 'without dis- crimination. William H. Taft and John Hays Hammond made it clear at the opening sessions of the World Court congress, however, that theirs is not one of the spineless bodies which foresees an early millennium when the lion shall lie down with the lamb. Unless we are to suffer the humili- ation of China or the fate of Belgium, Hammond asserted, we must main- tain an adequate force afloat and ashore.
