The Mayoralty; Zimmerman's Side Issue. If Dr. Zimmerman were all his most ardent admirers imagine him to be, if he were all he himself claims to be, if he were thoroughly familiar with all the processes and functions of municipal administration, he would still be an undesirable candidate because he gives but a fraction of his time to the work. No man can do justice to a medical practice, a garage, a race horse outfit and the mayoralty of a city at one and the same time. If he were a superman, a modern Napoleon, he might be able to hold down four jobs at once. But being a mere man it is impossible. And since the medical practice, and the garage, and the race outfit are private property and pay in proportion to the attention bestowed upon them and since the mayoralty is a public office with a fixed salary, the presumption is that, whenever possible, it would be human nature to neglect the mayoralty responsibilities in favor of the others. Mayor Zimmerman has not revealed that keen sense of obligation to the public and to duty which would lead an impartial observer to expect that he gives his public duties anything like the time they deserve. A city of 25,000 inhabitants, with an annual budget all told of about $300,000, has a right to expect that its mayor devote his undivided attention to the work. This is something Dr. Zimmerman has never promised to do. To be an efficient mayor a man should have a thorough comprehension of all city affairs and this can be gained only by keeping in constant personal touch with each department. In the very nature of things a man who merely visits his job a couple of hours a day cannot be efficient.

Great Men Living. One hears much of the decadence of humanity and the dearth of great men. A critic of this age has even written a book on "The Scarcity of Great Men." And there are many who lament the good old times when the real giants lived. But when has there been an eara more favored with real greatness than this? In philosophy, that difficult field which yields a scant harvest of genius, we have at least three of first rank, Bergson, Eucken and Hoffding. The Frenchman's "Creative Evolution" has marked an epoch in the history of human thought and placed its author on an unsealed height. William James, dead but a brief time and himself a tower of intellectual strength, declared that Bergson was the greatest thinker in the history of the world, "the master of us all." Eucken, whose works are now being reviewed by the Ministerial association, is the recognized chief of German philosophy and the founder of a school destined to leave its mark forever. Hoffding has incarnated the genius of Denmark and left his impress on his age. These three alone are sufficient to silence all petulant fault finding of the present generation. In science we have been quite as fortunate. Sir Oliver Lodge, Lord Kelvin, (dead a short time), Ernest Haeckel. Palow, Metchnikoff, Sir William Crooks, Edison, Marconi, and a dozen others surely shed lustre enough to satisfy the hero-worship of the most heroic times. If no other scientist than Henri Fabre had appeared in this day it would have given the age an imperishable monument in scientific history. "The Insect's Homer," "the poet of science" has been characterized by one astute English scholar as "the wisest man who has ever lived." The grand old man, now enjoying nonagenarian peace in his rustic French province, has lifted entomology to a new level and placed himself a close second to Darwin and Lamarck. In the drama it is needful to mention only George Bernard Shaw. If a generation had produced nothing save "Man and Superman" it would win the respect of posterity. As for belles-letters we are unusually fortunate. As long as Samuel McChord Crothers wields his pen we have no need to pray for another Charles Lamb. Crothers is Charles Lamb enough for any people. And Gilbert Chesterton, the rollicking Englishman, has added to the hilarity of mankind and spitted a thousand fallacies on his kindly spear. Maintaining the traditions of Ruskin and Arnold, A. C. Benson has lifted a quiet voice from has academic, retreats that wooes the best from growing young souls. As to poetry it is difficult to speak. Few generations have succeeded in recognizing their own bards in time for contemporaneous crowning, but if Maurice Maeterlinck is to be classed with the singers, and he is usually, there are no regrets due us on that score. One may ransack every literature of every age to find the equal of the "Belgian Shakespeare" in his own line. "Wisdom and Destiny," "The Life of the Bee" and

"The Blue Bird" are like translucent wells in which the face of the gods are shining. Sociology, political economy, and practical politics, are in their flowering period. Architecture is just beginning to find itself in the United States, but the art of Sullvan is soon due for its periclean age. Art is discovering new provinces and new leaders with surprising frequency, and everywhere are evidences that the divine old hu

Government Sabotage. What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander. The I. W. W. has often declared for the principle of sabotage and has more than once endeavored to use this instrument of coercion and force. But the Syndicalists can make use of such a weapon, why not also a government ? This seems to have been the reasoning of the British government if Under Secretary J. M. Robertson spoke with any authority in a recent address at Newcastle. In explaining the apparent passivity of the authorities in view of the threatened rebellion of Ulster he said they had a weapon laid by which would prove very effective when the time comes. "If the worst comes to the worst," he said, "the British postoffice would simply excommunicate Ulster, thus cutting off not only its mails but also its telegraph and telephone service." In Ulster is Belfast, a great city with enormous commercial interests. Under commercial excommunication such a city would speedily find itself bankrupt and driven to desperate straits generally. Should that be the case Britishers believe the rebellion wouldn't long hold out. What a clever idea! It is not so clumsy as Governor Foss' threatened state law against railway strikes and far cheaper. If a state gets bad or a city grows stubborn cut off its mail supply! The only difficulty might be that if the government made railways stop hauling mail the railroaders might make the railways stop hauling the government, and then where would we be? And it might be that if England cuts off Ireland's mail Ireland might cut off England's supply of potatoes, and policemen! The world might live without love letters but where is the world that can live without potatoes, and Irishmen?

Art Study

Study Club Now Meet At School.

A women's club center in the art gallery of the high school to Increase the interest of club women in art, is the object of the Art Study club and the Music Study club which are now holding their meetings there. Permission was granted last year to hold the club meetings there in preference to the women's homes although little was done towards securing clubs to convene in the gallery. The members of the Art Study club secured the permission of the school superintendent and principal to make the room a club center. The members of the Art Study club believe Richmond can advance as an art center by having the art exhibits viewed by many women of the city, thus interesting them in the study of art. A number of other clubs have been asked to meet there and responses are expected soon. The school authorities are in favor of the idea as long as the club meet-

BROOKS ON MEXICAN PROBLEM.

Sydney Brooks, who is well worth listening to, has come forward in the October North American Reveiw with the Britisher's view of thejMexican situation. Since he is one of the few observers now living with anything like a thorough grasp of international politics, it is not altogether a loss of time to heed his utterances. He begins by holding the United States responsible for policing Mexico and says no foreign nation dreams cf interfering in what is so peculiarly an American duty. "It is universally recognized," he says, "that the pacification of Mexico, whether by persuasion or by force, is an American and not a European responsibility, and that the United States can neither delegate nor share it." But foreign powers, he avers, are growing impatient with the manner the present administration is handling the question. They do not endorse intervention and are impatient with Wilson because they believe his course makes that more imminent. Not that they believe the president incompetent and rash, quite the contrary, for "they reckon President Wilson as an inestimable asset in the cause of a sane and unprovocative handling of the Mexican crisis," but they believe he has been led into a diplomatic impasse by an unwise policy. Mr. Brooks emphasizes the handicap thrown on the administration by the publicity now being given the question. "In all countries," he writes, "but in the United States, I think, especially, popular interest in a given problem of foreign politics is usually the greatest obstacle to its rational settlement." The cry for intervention is the most dangerous of all factors to be reckoned with. The country is in no position for that, not only because its army is inadequate but because American residents in Mexico themselves do not want it. Though they control $500,000,000 of Mexican property they prefer having the U. S. keep its army out. "To seize and hold three or four stragetic points in Mexico might he a comparatively simple matter, but to dominate the country and to wage the inevitable guerilla

warfare that would ensue would require at least 250,000 ! men and probably three or four years of time. It would i be by far the biggest and most hazardous undertaking i on which the United States has embarked since the , Civil war."

To complicate the matter Central American states

would resent such an act and would see in it the sub- j

stantiation of their oft expressed fears of American imperialism. Intervention might therefore mean stirring up a dozen or so hornet's nests in Latin America. Taft's policy, says Brooks, was to recognize the "constituted authority" and. had he charge at this time, Huerta would have been speedily recognized. But Wilson departed from this precedence and has made him

self the one exception among the powers. Brooks thinks !

Wilson has been deterred from giving Huerta recognition by pedantic and unwarranted scruples. It is not to be supposed, he argues, that Mexico can be held responsible to the same code of political ethics which is supposed to hold good in the United States. "American diplomacy," he says in concluding, "appears ia British eyes to have landed itself in a mesh of rather puerile inconsistencies. It will not itself intervene nor allow any other power to do so: it will not recognize Geueral Huerta: it disputes alike his authority and his power to restore order: at the same time it an
