The Re- licans are Northerners, and the ocrats are Southerners. There is ict line of demarkation between two. This, according to the ratio- tion. of Congressman Glynn, of the District, who last night ad- fsed the Fifth Ward Republican of this city. From what premises Glynn deduces his conclusions pot known; presumably one of Hent ones is that because ‘“Pres- t Wilson and family are Southern b every man who has anything o with an attempt to further the on cause is a Southerner.

No, the German-American Alliance adopted resolutions praising this sort of thing and the people were told that as long as they had not gone to war over what Germany had done, in the Kkilling of men, women and children, there was no justice in waging war because of the opening of a few letters. There was no talk of war when our munition factories were blown up, either. Looking back over the records it is easily seen that there never was a chance K for the United States going to war with any of the belligerent powers of KEurope. Theodore Roosevelt was doing all he could to keep the people sdtisfied by failing to protest #gainst the viola- tion of Belgium and praising the course of Germany. “He Kept Us Out of the War” is all a mistake. It is no campaign slogan, because he could not have got- ten us into the war even had he tried. That is the way the opponents of Mr. ‘Wilson are viewing the situation. And yet we fail to otherwise accouht for the feverish condition throughout the country that followed the invasion of Belgium and the sinking of the Lusi- tania and numerous other ships, and the spirit that prompted the prepared- ness campaign that was at its height only a few short months ago. Are memories so short as all this, that men cannot remember back to the time when every man who hated England wanted the United States fighting with Germany and vice versa? We do not think so. BERLIN AND NEW HAVEN. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis of Berlin, than whom there is no more gallant, has discontinued his subscription to the New Haven Journal Courfer be- cause, as he tersely informs its edi- tor, ‘“can’t stand your politics.” In severing diplomatic relations, so to speak, the Berlin Colonel draws from his New Haven brother-in-arms, Colonel Nod Osborn, a column edi- torial in which the famous weilder of the pen makes a few pertinent re- marks anent views expressed and news standards maintained by news- papers. The Journal-Courier has been supporting Woodrow Wilson but, as its editor points out, “it is not in politics. It owes allegiance to no po- litical party, party organization, or party lcadership. It is not a candi- date for office and seeks no share in the possible spoils of victory. * * * We have conviction upon the issues before the country for settlement, and are much more interested in them than in the personalities of the two admirable gentlemen who are candi- dates for the Presidency. Having con- victions, which have been created by as careful a study of the issues as we are intellectually able to make, we let our convictions determine our atti- tude, not that a particular individual may become the beneficiary of our support but that the country may be the gainer by the views he happens to champion.” Therein is contained a good exposi- tion of the reason for an independent paper adopting any particular atti- tude. Newspapers, as a rule, are not in politics. The men working on them are not running for public office. When such things happen, the men seeking office usually sever their connections with the newspapers, nor do the pa- pers always accord them support. Journalism and politics are separate and distinct arts, although it is the duty of the newspaper to gather true accounts of events happening in the political arena and to comment on such of them as demand editorial notice. After all, the news is the first thing that makes a newspaper; the views are secomdary. If a sub- scriber wants to study only one side of any question he can confine his reading to newspapers carrying his end of the discussion. For broader views, men generally read one or more journals carrying both sides of all public questions. No editor expects to satisfy all his readers. It was aptly remarked not long ago that when one is found who does please them all he is lying on the flat of his back in a long black box with a plate glass over his face. If it is true, as often stated, that one-half of the world does not know what the other half is doing, it is because one-half of the world is not reading the newspapers. Or, if one- half of the world does not know what the other half thinks, it is because that one-half does not read or listen to the views of the other half. It still holds true today as it did yester- day and the day before that there are two sides to every question. If one man holds to a thing so tenatiously that he will not listen to arguments against it, there is good reason to be- lieve that is creeping in where broadmindedness should reside. We know Colonel Jarvis too well, or think we do, believe that he will deliberately de- narrow partisanship to prive himself of those brilliant di cussions which are to be found every day on the editorial page of the New Haven Journal Courier, and most of them are written by his old friend Colonel Osborn. If Colonel Osborn puts things up a bit too strong some- times, and they do not quite conform to the ideas of Colonel Jarvis, then our neighbor in Berlin might find sur- journal other great come cease from sorrow in that scores a point or two the way 'round and he could have fun in making Colonel Osborn down off the pedestal. But he must track of what the New Haven editor is writing, otherwise the joy of friendly tilt will be lost. And so must all of us, to keep the Fecords straight, learn what the other fellow is doing. It is part of the game. even of life. Berlin and New Haven must not part. some keep According to the composing room of the New York Times a propaganda is being spread in Germany for the adoption of the slogan “Eugland is the real enemgq.” Which, everyone will admit, is some slogan.

(New Haven Journal-Courier.) Congressman Oakey of the First dis- trict has imbibed the spirit of partisan criticism which marred the appear- ance of Congressman Hill of the Fourth district . and Congressman Glynn of the Second at Waterbury the other day. It will be remyembered that Mr.. Hill ‘flashed with indigna- ¢lon” as he difcussed the democratic record. While Mr, Glynn “flayed” his political opponents, In accepting the renomination of- fered him on Monday, Mr. Oakey passed this out as the reflections of a twentieth century statesman: ‘Not- withstanding the democratic claim of ‘constructive legislation,” which moved the democratic state convention to laughter and mirth, I do not person- ally believe (sle) that it will be diffi- cult to convince the<thoughtful and intelligent American voter, no matter what his status or condition of life, that democracy as it is constituted in this republic today, in either a legis- lative or executive capacity, is a fail- ure.” ‘We wonder if this sort of reason- ing Is a pure food product in the First congressional district of the his- toric old state of Connecticut.

Colonel Osborne and even Candidate for Governor Beardsley are taken to task in some quarters because in the past they have on occasions voted for republicans.

Intelligent citizenship selects the best men who most hon- estly stand for the public welfare. Party labels are by no means guaran- tees of perfection. The voters must be their own judges. It is to the credit of Colonel Osborn, Mr. Beards- ley and others that they have proven themselves too strong to be bound by party ties. The independent voter is the man to applaud, and he cannot be read out of any party because he has the power to go where he pleases and is not required to ask permission of any man, McMILLAN’S New Britain’s Busy Big Store— “Always Reliable.” Stylish Autumn COATS, SUITS, DRESSES AND SKIRTS for Women and Misses SMART TAILORED SUITS in all the leading shades, distinction and snap to the new Fall models shown here.

Strange Things Happen in Unknown America Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.——1:iné searching pathos of conditions in a jreason I want ’em here. small corner of what might be termea Unknown Africa is mirrored in a com- munication received by the National Geographic magazines from Miss Ethel De Long, of the executive com- mittee of the Pine Mountain Settle- ment school, Pine Mountain, Harlan Co., Keutucky. Striking indeed is this picture given by the correspondent in her simple supremely sympathetic re- cital of the paternal yearning of a white Kentucky mountaineer to obtain educational advantages for his moth- erless brood of seven: A man has just walked in from Big Creelk, thirty miles away, to try to en- ter all of his seven -children in our school. He would not leave only the older ones because as he said, “If I part ’em while they're lettle fellers, they won’t have no feelin's fer each other when they’re raised. I want ye to take 'em all or none. Hit was their mamy’s last wish that I keep 'em to- gether. T'll jest do fer ’em muyself the best I kin, if you cain’t take 'em all’ He brought with him ar irresistible appeal, & word of picture of the sev- en, and his tale of how he has ‘keered’ for them. Thirty-four years old, worn, stooped, toothless, he has made a gal- lant fight to raise his childeen right. He mentioned the children’s clothes. “I've made ‘em all,” he said. “I couldn’t hire nobody to sew fer 'em, so I jest made ’em everything they wear, myself. I've washed for 'em, I've tend- ed 'em, an’ then I've gone out in the cornfield to work fer 'em. I've raised ‘em as right as I know, but I cain't do fer 'em lak I ought. “I get right sick with the phthisic, an’ I've studied about what would ppen to ’em if I was to be tuk off from ’em. When I have to go away from ’em to earn a lettle money, hit's h a dread on me, les’ they git burned up at night, s'posin’ the house should ketch fire, an’ lettle fellers al- lus so sleepy-headed at layin'-down time. ( Sometimes I'm afraid to go home.” “Why didn’t you marry ed, “so as to get help your children?” Tears came into his eyes. “Hit's best fer lettle younguns to hev jest one mammy, an’ s'posin’ I'd thought to help 'em a-marryin’ again, I might a get ’em in a mighty bad state.” If we take the children, going to mary again?” said I “No'm, I'm done with marryin’. I jest want my younguns raised right, whilst I'm tryin’ to make the money fer ‘em”. “You see, we don't want children whose parents want to get rid of them,” said I, “but ones whose par- ents want them to have a good chance” again,” I in raising are you | | | | | | | just by w “Yes,” he said, “I know That's the You want younguns whose parents has got dili- gence and with innards to raise 'em toward humanity.

I've hrought ye a recommendation from folks that met ye when ye come through Big Creek five or years ago.” We were moved with compassion, although our annual pldges must be multiplied four-fold to care for the sixty children we already have, be- sides the seven “leetle fellrs,” from the “chunk of a girl js' goin’ on five” to the fifteen-year-old boy who has hoed corn ail summer. How, could we resist those faces and the patient father who has done the best he ‘“knowed”! We told him to bring them, all seven. An hour ago he started back on his long thir- 1y miles to malke the children ready. n’s Scotch Socks. (\'ewa|k News.) Wi He (Wilson) openly advocated the j purchase of foreign goods rather than 1o further the protection of such ar- ticles at home under a protective tar- iff, boasting that he bought his socks in Scotland because he could there- fore save 50 per cent. on them—the while he was drawing a $10,000 sal- ary from the State of New Jersey. This is an extract from a speech made quite recently in the United States senate by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire. Stand-pat editors are quoting it with unction. Other than to keep the record straight, it is not uninteresting to glance back to the time and the occasion when Wilson humorously discussed his Scoteh socks. In the fiest place, Wil- son was not governor then. Those socks were flashed before an audience of farmers at Red Bank at the 3rd | district convention of 1910. He was then just a candidate for governor. Schedule K, and some other sched- ules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff which Gallinger helped to tailor, were much in the public eye at that time. Mr. Wilson referred to his Scotch socks of illustration, and this is what he said: One summer when I was abroad for example, I bought some socks in the town of Aberdeen, Scot, and these miserable things never vet have worn out. I am tired of them; the color does not suit me to begin with, but the American socks I have bought" within the time have worn out so fast that the household is constant- |1y employed in darning them. | Mr. Wilson’s point was that the | Payne-Aldrich tariff was so high that American manufacturers did not have to make socks that could be ultimate- Iy consumed only with difficulty—the tariff shut out competition. But even if Gallinger were telling the truth about those socks. which the record shows he was not doing, why shoultl a nation that imy 5o much Scotch whisky become grieved ahout the pur- chase of a few p: of Scotch socks by a traveler in Aberdeen? Pershing’s* Promotion. Seniority, as well as distinguished~ service, warranted the promoticn of John Joseph Pershing to major-gen- eral. He had been a brigadier ten or three years less than Fred- erick Funston when President Wil- son moved him up. Both officers were skyrocketed to the grade of' general; Funston, a volunteer, by President McKinley, an Pershing, a regular and a West Pointer, by Pres- ident Roosevelt. There may still be heartburning in the army because the Kansas vol- unteer Colonel was passed over the" heads of veteran officers in 1901, but the resentment in the case of Persh- ing was brief and never deep. . He had begun to make his mark before he left West Point. He was a fine flgure of .a man. born to command., He showed his quality in several Indian campaigns, yet he was only a first lieutenant of cavalry at San Juan, being then 38 years of age. He attained his captaincy at 41, and about a year later he was doing the work of a general officer in Minda- nao in a brilliant campaign against« the Moros. His promotion was de- served. Under the law the president could not have made Pershing a Colonel. Mr. Roosevelt did not hes- itate, and we think that he was right. A commission of brigadier-general was made out for the Missourian when there was a vacancy on the army =~ list. And now at the able and indefatigable himself a major-general Wwhile in command of the expedition in Mex- ico, two years after the Promotion, of Funston, his junior by five years. If there is any other officer in the army who deserves the honor as much as Pershing we don’t know who he is. years, this officer finds age of Where a Shrewd Fditor Loafs. (From the Bland (Mo.)
