NO MORE A GUIDING STAR. MBLPM of the Democratic Party on the ballot next Tuesday— a star! For the debased mnnicipal travesty of a great politic faith~a star! For an organization which makes pillage a principle and politics 2 business—a star! For the candidates of a boss who seeks to put men in office frst and Iast that he may use them there—a star! There is no sadder fact in the civic life of this community than. the degradation of the Democratic Party through the perennial per- version of its name and principles to the sordid uses sid purposes of | Tammany, If the’Democratic Party should mean anything in the local and! preferably non-partisan business of providing efficient administration | for the affairs of this great city, it should mean the strongest of all, influences for a representative, responsible government, as against a) hoss-ruled regime of greed and privilege. } It should mean a powerful force working for the selection of large-size men for large-size offices, of men of unimpeachable in- tegrity for high positions of public trust. Get above the campaign clatter, and it becomes astounding that 0 big a thing as the Democratic Party can be invoked in the City of | New York to help hoist a shuffling little pettifogger like Hylan into, the Mayor’s chair. How can any eelf-respecting Democrat of the genuine sort view) such an attempt with anything but disgust and the determination that! no vote of his shall aid Tammany to prove itself the New York nucleus of Democracy ?

As never before, the whole civilized world is profoundly stirred by the necessity of bending all the strength there is in it to the task of making thie planet a safer, better one to live on. It 4s a task whereat men and women can accomplish most by toil- ing more than ever in mutual understanding, side by side. Can New York afford to doubt it and drag behind? ee’ } THE ITALIAN DEFEAT. NSTEAD of trying to minimize the defeat that has overtaken the I Ttallan armies, every foe of Germany ought to be soberly study- ing it as a measure of the force that is left in her. These were no supine troops through which the Germaus broke. Cadorna’s were, on the contrary, active, aggressive forces whose recent: advance had been a brilliant success. They had every reason to push forward or sustain an enemy attack with special strength and conti- dence. The less reason to underestimate the power that overcame them. ht of When, stop, babies wh this raising the declining credit of the militaristic party in Germany, | of reputab’ there is also the relief to Austria of being freed from the menace of | eg an Italian invasion of Hungary.
