Of course only members of the republican party are welcome to these meetings, the idea of which has been conceived comparatively recent- Iy, One who attends the council ses- glons regularly is often surprised at the decisions which are sometimes made by the majority, and the thor- ough unanimity of action by the mem- bers of such majority. Before the party caucus came to be a part of the political ‘activities of the city, the same results as those now brought through the caucus, were achieved by gatherings in the corridors of city hall or elsewhere. Politics is politics and as long as the affairs of the city are car- ried on by human beings there will be these meetings in some form. And there would be little harm in them— in fact they would accomplish much good—if they were open to all mem- bers of the council or others interest- ed in the affairs of the city. The point is that a common council affect everyone in- timately, is like no other body of law- seems, it would be the city's advantage to have all politics taken out of the discus sions of the council. Organization is necessary, say all practical politicians, and organization is necessary, of course, as long as great parties in this country. But after elec- tion it would seem that politics might be lald aside; the discussions of city affairs open to all, the mysterious influence seen that comes out of the party caucus. there are and less of BERGDOLL AGAIN There is not & man in the United , States who is patriotic who does not | want Grover Cleveland Bergdoll back . in this country and in prison, there to serve his term for draft evasion. The ' passage of time does not alter this “over to Germany to try to bring him have shot one of the would-be kid- feeling. His mother, it was said, went back; that was the understanding by the authorities when she left. Now another attéempt has been made to kidnap him! he is reported to nappers and another is wounded. The man had a right to defend himself in this case but naturally we can have little sympathy for him. His actions have brought these attacks upon him- self, but that fact does not make the situation any And, much as the ppople who served in the American army the war want Bergdoll to be punished, they do not g0 to the extreme of wanting to get him at any cost. The repeated rumors that “some great organization™ in this country is back of these attempts to capture him place some organizations here in a bad light which they do not deserve. And no one is in a position to come out and deny that his or her organization is attempting to kidnap Bergdoll, as the rumors are not de- finfte enough to accuse any organiza- tion. Those who attempt to get Bergdoll back here in this way are mistaken friends of this, despite the fact that our sense of justice demands his paying the penalty for his actions in the past. less deplorable, in Americ: SAME STORY EVERYWHERE Human pature is the same overy- | where.

Commenting on the situation, the editor says: “The four Dominion Liberal mem- bers in P. B, 1, like their prototypes, the ‘Solid 16’ in Nova Scotia, were elected on the promise of a return of the ‘Golden Era’ on the seating in pfiw‘cr of the MacKenzie King govern- ment. Alas, the ‘Golden Era’ has not arrived, but in its stead the people of Canada are experiencing an ‘Era’ of the most burdensome taxation and high living costs that it has ever been called upon to endure, “Under the circumstances it is only human nature that the electors should have turned and stoned the false prophets who, by their studiously de- vised false prophecies, have misled the electorate of the country into reposing confidence in the MacKenzie King government.” The foregoing has a familiar ring to voters in the United States. It resem- bles, in spirit, the critlcism which, is heard as eleetions draw near. After all, artificial geographical boundaries may change the ownership of a strip of earth, but they do not change the nature of the man owning it. Cana- dian or Yank, we're much the same. What = Kipling said about Judy O'Grady and the other woman also applies to Judy O'Grady's husband and the other woman's husband, and their brothers and sons. BRANDEGEE AND COOLIDGE When President Coolidge assumed office there were many who were in- clined to feel that he would prove to be a man entirely sufficient until him- self, that he would rely upon his own judgment. The reputation he had for not being a “mixer"” did. him no harm. Some went so far as to say that he would prove the strong man in Wash- ington. It is too rarly to form an opinion as to what characteristics will develop in him, but already some of that feel- ing that he will be independent of others has been effaced. The Herald's Washington correspondent speaks of Senator Brandegee as ‘“the potential Mark Hanna of the Coolidge regime.” No matter how greatly one may ad- mire Senator Brandegee there is no desire to see him, or any other man, dominate matters at Washington un- less the right comes to him properly 2s it comes to the President. It is na- tural that the new President should seek the advice of others, but not in a long time has there appeared evi- dence of such constant conferring by a President and member of the Senate as is being seen now. The late President Harding left as his most important principle his ad- vocacy of the United States entering and participating in the World Court. As one of the leaders of the irrecon- cilables, to say nothing of his position in the “Old Guard.” Senator Brande- gee was undoubtedly disturbed by this attitude of the late President. Presi- dent Coolidge has gone oi record as intending to carry out the Harding policies. It is not hard, therefore, con- sidering the close relation established between President Coolidge and Sena- tor Brandegee, to belieye that this World Court question was one of the main subjects of discussion in recent conferences, It will give some, idea of the comparative strength of the Pres- ident and Senator Brandegee to note the attitude the President takes on this matter which was of such im- portance in the mind of the late Pres- ident Harding. If his successor allows the World Court plan to be forgotten it would indicate that President Cool- idge has considered the exigencies of politics rather than the policies he has promised to follow. a NEWS IN ENGLAND The newspapers in England have featured a great thing. It has attract- ed so much attention that the item has been placed on the first pflge with big headlines. It was bad enough, they thought over there, when some of our Amer- ican athletes played the game of golf their shirt but that, course, might have been expected of an American. But when America's in- fluence was strong enough influ- ence two veterans of English golf, J. H. Taylor and Alex Herd to do the same thing, it was news indeced.

Without magni- fying the importance of the achieve- ment it may well be a gource of pride to the swimmer that he has attracted attention to his country of which most Americans know little. Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “What ‘Can she pay?" can she pay?” France: England: A merfifiu “Pay." Another good way to study native fauna is to watch the butter at a picnic. A man never climbs too high to feel a little flattered when somebody asks his advice. An exccutive is a man who doesn't have to think up an excuse when tQe team is playing at home. The “poison pen” never is used, however, unless there is some indis- cretion to lend it a point. In the public library it is easy to select the books the critics praise, They have no thumb marks, This migration of Negroes makes it hard on the Southern mules. Now they will have to learn the white man's dialect. Courtesy isn't dead. Yesterday we saw a clerk smile and say “Thank you” when a patron bought a stamp. The treaty with Turkey leaves the Armenians free to choose the particu- lar form of tyranny they prefer. Correct this sentence: “I'll fight him at any time,"” declared the champion; “no guarantees; winner take all.” ——— Diplomats and war always remind us of the last paragraph in the news story: “The driver escaped without in- Jury.” If you will work hard and save your money, you may be able to bequeath your heirs some very interesting law suits. At last America has something in common with the Slav. A returned traveler reports that Russia has no bananas. The old-fashioned youth wasn't satisfied until he got a home., But the modern is content to get a homer, Home is a place where you can drink a great deal of ice water in the morning without being greeted by knowing smiles. Another reason why so many logical contenders for fight titles appear all at once is because the public is biting good. That writer who says there is no logical reason for the steady increase of divorce should study the pile of tin cans in the alley, A shark’s hide is thick enough for shoe leather, but this isn't news to one who has asked one of them for the rates at his seaside hotel.
