GOOD POLITICS.

We fail to see whv PresiJent Wilsou !s opnosed o r?P1 to in Enitland they don't have much rea non-narti.an arand war council. Surely it would be for our ex-presidcoits. saya the lxndon Chronicle.

kooJ politics.

The party in control will do well to take the oppo- J sition Into full partnership and confidence in this war j enterprise for two reasons one purely patriotic, the J orher judiciously partisan. The nation urgently needs 'he urn total of the wisdom, vision, counsel and co-op-eratlon of all parties. Therein lies the patriotic reason j for 100 per cent effort and harmony.

The partisan reason Is quite simple. The huge debt to be created because of the v.ar will be for decades a constant reminder of the responsibility for that debt. "Unwise expenditures will be remembered better than the other kind. That's human nature. If tho administration of the war is to be essentially !emocratic still in fne partisan sense the Democratic party must be prepared to tak9 the brunt of the blame for whatever blunders or worse there may be. Purely -on the basis of partisan self interest, therefore, phrewd Democratic politics calls for a IPjeral extension of responsibility to other parties than the ne which happens to be in the majority.

THE THEATRES AND THE WAR. In all our reading of the trials and tribulations which the German people are undergoing we have never yet seen where the theaters have been closed. Whttn the spirits of a nation are depreesed and when tney are robbed of their pleasures it bodes ill for that people. Tho New York Herald says: A hydra headed Fuel Administration which does rot know any of the several minds it Is supposed to possess, is engaged In debating with Itself the possible closing of the theatres of this city. The spectacle presented serves admirably to strengthen the growing conviction that one of the principal causes of the present coal stringency here and throughout the country is too much "administration" federal and state and municipal administrators here and elsewhere clashing -with one another, running around in circles and doing nothing efficiently. ' Somebody in a position of responsibility has decreed that the theatres of Boston shall open earlier and close earlier, and this witho.it advancing and convicting argument to sustain the assumption that earlier closing ill result in a real savins, of coal Under the impulse of Imitation which saves thinking, somebody eise in authority insists that the theatres cf New York should go Boston "one better" and be closed three nights a week, if not altogether. Fli'at of all it should be demonstrated, if it is demonstrable, that there would be any saving of ful in snj one of these several brands of what members of tho T'r.-.ted States Senate might' call "cloture." At the beginning of th" war France tried the cloture experiment with the result that it was found more coal was burned at their homes than wa saved by the theatres closing. Many of the theatres of this city are in office buildings which would have to b heated anyway, the extra coal consumption properly chargeable U the theatre being almost, negligible. The estimates of the amount of ccrtl needed to heat theatres run from one on o two tops ach rdsh It must, be realized that tbe theatres, the term in-

eluding motion picture house, perform two hJchiy impor-t HART police last year arrested 957 persons for vio fp.r.f. function- in war time.

Lieut. Col. George Healer, 151st (Indiana) Infantry, has been promoted to the rank of Colonel. Healey Is now attending the officers' school at Fort Sam Houston. In donning the eagles of a colonel Healey takes command of the local guard regiment. lie will make an excellent commander, and the same traits he displayed in civil life as editor of the Rensselaer Republican will be of value to the army. We congratulate the new colonel and the ",600 Indiana boys In hi? command.

WHY YOU SHOULD SAVE SUGAR. It isn't a question so much of there not being enough suear that you should be sparing with it, but any reat hole made into the supply on hand means just that much more delay in yetting- our troops to France. To be sure portions of Western Europe that formerly produced sugrar are either derastated or in the hnnd? of the Germans, but Cuba, Porto Rico, southern United States and Java continue to produce. But ?e lacli ships to haul sugar. In Java there are hundreds of thousands of pounds of the sweet stuff on the wharves, but it can't be shipped here. Were ships used to haul sugar Just so many vessels would be taken away from the troops and supply transport service. That is why you are asked to saro sugar; it means American lives.

If they did not think so. if th.v thought the orders were of and by Garfield, sotely, tney wouia pay actus ny no h?(i to them. The public have no faith In Garfield, and. for that matter, never will have. That's why the public is now slow in expressing its opinion of this" cei enter. The people feel that the President, and not Garfield. Is responsible for this Issuance. But whether or not these drastic orders are the work of either th President or Garfield, the fact remains that nothing- t'nee the war began has served to so impress the American people with the seriousness of the struggle In which we are engaged. For two vrars a .-jr-a n class ir -. n o'intr' ; has felt the pat cf pro.-re'. ity nd en-; io:- ed the fullnss of it.

Fleas to save, to invest tn Liberty bopds, t REALIZE that the country is at war and that war la the root serious thing In the vrorld, have fallen upon deaf ears, or ears half trained to catch the piteous cry of a nation, in distress. Today the factory is closed, and with it the stores and places of amusement. Today the class whl-h has looked lightly upon war end accepted not its meaning 1n a serious sense, Is s'aggertng under the first real blow that has struck the country e'.nee It entered the war Wheatles days and meat!es davs have been but a Joking matter with a certain class of Americans. But the closed factory Isnt n Joke. It has served to awaken them. De'nr without a spoonful of sugar or a !:- of white i oread appeared foolish in the eyes of certain class of Americans. Bat the diminished pay envelope and the curtailed output of industrial concerns pats a different aspect on It. If Americans, and especially the class of Americans who have not heedefj tj10 r.rv of their brotner." to take the war i seriously, have not realised this coun- j try's clanger, these closed I'tctor and j di-i.inljhed pa--' envelopes certainly j should mal?i them nake up.
