While the result of the election in the seventh congressional district of New Jersey, where the republican can- didate was elected by an overwhelm- ing vote despite the part which Pres- ident Wilson had taken in behalf of the democratic candidate upon whose election or defeat rested approval or disapproval of the present administra-’ tion, was a blow to_the democratic hopes, it furnished another lesson rel- ative to party conditions which can- not pass unnoticed. It was an effective lesson on what can be accomplish- ed by a united republican party and an indication of the need of-just such action being taken It was through the standing togeth- er of the repubiican forces in this re- publican district, following the con- tribution which it had previously made to the democratic forces in congress, that victory was secured. At the same time in the congressional contest in Massachusetts interest ebbed and a walkover was provided for®the demo- cratic candidate because of the per- sistence in division. With a recog- nition of the, need of bettering condi- ions and the ending of democratic rule and policies one of the weakest arguments les in urging the continued division of the republican party. The New Jersey district has shown what can be accomplished by gettin; to- zether. The Massachusetts district re- eals the effect of holding apart. The former means republican success, safe and sound legislation, while the de- ing of democratic mistakes, but following a hopeless movement, simply insares the continuance of pres- ent conditions. It ought to inspire careful thought. NEWFOUNDLAND SUFFERERS. There need be no long deliberftion over the possibilities of the appeal which is being made for tance in behalf of the Newfoundland homes ich have been left destitute by the recent disasters, being worthy. Those who perished must have suffered greatly, but the greatest sufferers will be those who survive. The afficted households are those of flshermen wh at the preoper season are engaged in their own interests, but during the se- vere cold engaged in the hazardous busin for the remuner- ation whi be obtained. W al yearly earn- ings at the b ople have now been reduced from a fair assurance of the necessities to practically nothing. A knowiedga of the conditions of those people and their humble existence such as has often been told hy Wilfred T. Grentell from the experiences he has had In his work in that region, only emphasizes the unmistakable misery and suffering whick t follow the loss of the heads of the families, who became separated from or went down in sealing vessels. is no reason to believe but what e will be a generous re- sponse to the appeals for assistanc and with the customary alacrity with which this country gives heed to the call for help ,whenever and wherever it is needed, it can be expected to do the art in contributing to the relief of | stricken Newfoundlaud homes. Not only sorrow, but want exists in that northern territory. It is a situation which is unmistakably sad, and needs the heipful hand of sympathetic hu- manity VILLA AND THE SPANIARDS. Just how much this country be- | come .involved in the actidn which is being taken by the constiutiopalists of Mexico in forcing out of the coun- try the Spanish residents, many of whom are merchants and people of wealth, is a matter of speculation at present. It is fully apparent that there is no love lost between the rebels and the Spaniards, but while their livés are belng spared they are being driven from home and poesessions in a man- ner which would naturally awaken It is also with marked dis- fon that such orders are being ccd against them, since they are only forelgners who are molested. eneral Villa is unguestionably ex- ising his position for future benefits through the finaneial ald which s result therefrom and for the ef- which, 1% will have spom the aid ing received by JHuerta from the Spanish, Thus does this country face the difficulty of obtaining for these people the same treatment which accorded other foreigners, Americays| included, In yigw of the rights 1o is Jis preferable { ments.

The change in the basis of representation is one which should be settled without contributing to the benefit or detri- ment of the candidates for the presi- dency and, by such a determination through state conventiops before the first of the vear, that very point will be entirely overcome. There is also re- ferred to the state convention for rat- ification the rule permitting every state to select delegates .in accordance with the laws existing in the respec- tive states, The course which is. being pursued in this reformation cannot fail to im- pre: The changes are those which) have been demanded previously, but which' have been made the occasion for a struggle in the convention as a means of breaking down prescribed rules. By undertaking the desired objects during an off year the unjust features are overcome and it will be possible to get action upon the merits of the rules themselves without being encumbered with other influences. The needed changes have received® timely ‘attention and by referring them to the different state conventions, in- stead of endeavoring to put them into operation by committee action alone, a participation in the enactment of the new rules is afforded the states which to like results which might be obtained in national conven- tion. NEW CHIEF OF STAFF. In view of the importance which al- ways attaches to the head of the armyA there is naturally much interest in the change which is to be made therein according to the announcement that | General _Willam W. Wotherspoon is to succeed General Leonard Wood. There no question but what the| present chief of staff has been a most | capabf® official and has dome much for the benefit of the service. Ithis a e, however, of one fine military - record succeeding another with the prespects that the same genersl plan of army organization which has been urged by General Wood will be carried forward. It was forty vears ago that Gen- | eral Wotherspoon began as a line of- ficer &nd since that time heshas had extensive and varled army experience. He was for two periods attached to the | general staff and was aiso head of the war college. This, with the fact that the general scheme for army organi- | zation was developed and perfected in the war college and that he has| served as assistant to the office which he will assume, doesn't indicate that he will attempt any radical changes. | On the other hand the time which he | can expect to serve does not encour- age anvthing but the earrving out of the present poli By reason of his| age General Wotherspoon must re- | tire in November. His tenure. of office | will be sufficient to obtain for him the | promotion and permit him to be of much aid to_ his assistant who in the | general course of events can be e pected to betome his successor. Tt too early to judge what this may involve in the way of changes, but i is evident that whoever holds the of- fice of chief of staff he cannot fail to recognize the necessity of the greatest efficiency in the army EDITORIAL NOTES.

He did not need to guide his horse, for the old mare had trudged over ‘those country roads with her master for the past 15 years and knew every step of the way, as did the doc- tor himself. He did not care to look at the landscape, so familiar to him. He knew every tree and shrub, every house and barn, in the 25 miles of his circuit. He wus tired of,it all, the routine and the sameness, the meeting the same peopie day after day and year after year, and with no chance to rise. He had seen children grow up and marry, yet he remained in the same old rut. He knew the people so well that-he had come to distrust every - cne. He felt that he was watched and criticised and his most innocent acts condemned. Only yes- terday he had taken Mrs. Banks across the river in his boat, because he knew she wanted to see hep sister living on the opposite side, and he had heard remarks that made bhim angry. He had taken lame Jennie Lyons to ride and it was reported that he was en- gaged to her. He hated his life—and people, What was the use of it all The horse turned of her own ac- cord into a lane leading to a lomely littde farmhouse.

He opened a letter he had taken from the post office. it} was from an old college chum who | was practicing in New ¥Yerk. “I'm going to send you one of m: patlents, Will,” the letter read, ‘Miss Coales, 'She is in a nervous state and | | want you to find a good boarding place for her and take her under your spec- ial care. Give her the medical atten- tion she needs and do all you can to make her stay pleasant.” | “Pshaw!” exciaimed the doctor, | throwing the letter on the _table. “Jim's sending me a nervous old maid to care for and to ocupy my Bspare moments_this summer.

However, I have but few | spare moments in my life, so 1 reckon she'll have to do the most of her own entertaining—but 1 wish he hadn't sent her to me.” | Nevertheless, the 'doctor good-na- turedly found a boarding place for Miss Coales, not far from his own home, and he drove to the station to meet her_on the day she was expected sons who alighted from the train at the little country station—Bill Jones, | who lived a mile down the road, a man | with a drummer's case, and a young must have | train.

He must see that she had plenty of air and exercise. She ac- Ccepted his attentions simply and na- turally, like a child, as if it were her right, and as if she had been accus- tomed to devotion all her life.

So the summer passed. Miss Coales bad grown well and strong. She had learned to row, had climbed fences and picked berries. Her cheeks were brown and her eyes bright. Now she must go back to her city home, and the doctor could not conceal from himself that he was sorry to have her go. He ha# learned something in the long summer days. He once more had faith in human kind. But when he left: her at the little station he only said, rather stiffly: “I hope it has been a pleasant summer for_you, Miss Coale: “Yes, very pleasant!” she ex- claimed, looking brightly into his face. “I thanK you so much for all your kindness to_me! If you ever come to New York I shall be glad to see you at_my hom Thank you, was gone. The doctor returned to his lonely life. How very lonely it seemed him now! He had not realized how much he would miss her, and yet, life seemed no longer in vain to him.” He entered with more zest into his work, for she had helped him to know the worth of it. When he receled notice of a con- vention of doctors to be held in New York he determined that he would go. Strange for him who had never cared for woman, had always vowed he would never marry, to want te be in the city where she lived— he might perchance see her, but he never would permit himself to call. She was too far above him. She had no doubt for-. gotten all about him long before this time—and he was not in love. The he replied, and she | idea never «entered his mind! But when the doctor arrived in New York he could not keep away from West Ninety-second street. He would see the home where she lived. He walked by the house and paused, re- back to his room when he heard a well-known vole = “Why, Dr. Homer! I'm so glad to see you! There stood Miss Coales, laughter and gladness in her “Come right In!” she insisted; *I want you to meet my mother.” And he went. “Tell me of your work,” she begged, “Oh!” he exclaimed, “if you were only there to help me! without you—I love you!™ WATCH YOUR STEP!

She spoke in a quiet refined voice that was restful to him and soothing to his troubled nerves. “This is a beautiful land,” she said, ‘so much space, quiet and peace. ful, so much of it!

The next day the doctor thought it would do Miss Coales good to take a EVERY DAY REFLECTO Nurse and Guide ldeals. The longest life lived has never reached finality in its désires. To some f our lives, a con- stant leading forward, a proof of our Linfinite capacitie: to others it is the delusion and the limitation that cast them into pessimism, It certainly ! seems that we are capable of more joy than is ever ours: it hardly seems that we are capable of deeper Sorrow. It is clear that our ideals need very careful nursing and guiding. They become an inspiration and a strength, or they may lead to mere disappointment and weakness, even to despair. We may idealize love as fully as we please, but perhaps we have no right to idealize the loved one too com- pletely. It may be claiming the im- possible and therefore courting dis- aster. Above all, we must not expect more from another than we are able to give ourselves; in hard contact with reality we may have to be contgnt with less. The one whom we love may not have our capacity for loving, may not even desire it, may be satisfied with some- thing far less, claiming that we also should be satisfied. There are persons who cherish the highest ideal,of love and whose life is a coustant huhger for it, who never come near its fulfilling. They have to be Tontent with a few fallen crumbs where others are feast- ing. 1t brave and wisc, they can carry their ideal to a spiritual attainment; but many of us are neither brave nor wise.
