NOVEMBER 14, lf10.

STOPF'D, FOR THE WINTER. Turning from the national election back to the I.uropean war we Jml a practical deadlock on every front. n the Sornme the Germans appear to be abl to still launch an occasional offensive as they did successfully a day or ?o apo. The .Mackensen drive in Dobrmlja and von Falkenhayn's pusli in Transylvania, which movements seemed a week ai;o on the ioint of crushif.r Itou mania' completely, have both been halted. In fact upon both Roumanian fronts the Teutons are bein i: driven back, and the hope of putting Roumania out at one fell swoop is apparently Rone. On the other hand, the much heralded advance of the allied army from Saloniki seerns to be definitely checked, and the Russian and Ocrman-Austro armies in (Jalicia are Uiu'Knje in for the winter. Only the Italians show any definite pains. Trieste seems doomed to fall shortly and Italy will be in complete possession -f the larger part of the Istrian peninsula. Whereupon it will, quite likely, rest content for a while. T.P ft war seems no nearer its close than it did at th" be'innin?, two years and more ago.

mer and fall. The four-months-eampaisn idea is a sur

vival of stae coach days, when slow transportation

and communication required several months of campaii;nln to Ret the issues before the whole country. Now. with aunost every hamlet and farmhouse, from coast to coast, within easy reach of the railroad, telegraph, postotlice and printing press, the entire population can be. addressed and the political issues presented in a small fraction of the time it used to take. There is no need of making the nominations before September, says the World, and one month would be ample time for the candidates and parties to present their case. The public is always well informed, and requires little additional help to make up its mind intelligently, even in a vital contest.' It all sounus very well. It would be extremely sensible, j.o doubts to shorten the time of campaigns, and theieby lessen the expense, the nervous strain and the long unsettlement of business and industry. Rut one important point the World overlooks. Politics is the great American sport. A political campaign Is a fascinating game, played by candidates and party workers with 100,000.000 people as interested spectators. Who would suggest cutting a football game or a baseball game down to thirty minutes? The American public wants to be excited and harrowed and upst and kept in suspense, and a mere month of It will not suftice. This year the nation has had the rare boon of seeing the contest fTrolonged beyond the usual period, by the difficulty of determining the outcome. And though it has professed irritation at the delay and uncertainty, the nation has enjoyed it immensely.

FLIVVER-SWAPPING. There has been considerable comment on the fact that gypsies nowadays show a. marked tendency to travel in automobiles instead cf accustomed wagons. The Kmporia. Kan., (gazette adds a new note, in the form of a "Ford joke." Remarking on the passage through Hmporia of three carloads of gypsies, riding in two well known, largehized varieties of automobiles, the Gazette adds: "Next year they will corne back probably followed by a string of Fords, and the Gazette will have something like this item: A band of Ford-swapping gypsies passed through town today.' " Doesn't that seem to sound the death knell of the ancient and picturesque institution of horse trading? Imagine gypsies reduced to swapping "ilivvers:" And all the David Harums, too.

MUSICAL NAMES. "Don't make fun of Meshirjetsche." urges the an Francisco bulletin. "For some tens of thousands of human beinK-s its queer letters How together like harmonious music, spells the most beautiful of words home and friends."' All right. And we won't make fun, either, of Zloczow. Czartorysk, Rug. Snof. Rustchuk. Mush an Ginj. Doubtless all of them are sweeter than honey on the lips of the natives. And anyhow, we haven't a great d'al to brag of ourselves. In the matter of euphony. When a nation possesses thousands of such geographical appellations as Oshkosh. Gogebic, Schenectady. Ratchogue. Mauch Chunk. Auxvasse, Yazoo, t'mbazooksis, Chemquassa bamticook. Wahkiakum and Enumclaw, how can it have the none to ridicule old world names?

CONGRESSMAN BARN HART'S VICTORY. Aside from St. Joseph county doing its legitimate share toward the election of the state and national ticket, and putting over its entire county ticket, we .oinmcriJ it to the attention of our beloved frie.d, the Iap.rte Herald, that such aforesaid county also saved the day for Congressman Henry A. Rarnhart. Had Importe county, untier the dominating brilliancy of the Herald, as appendixed by its Michigan City rejection, done even comparatively as well for Andrew Jackson Hickey. as St. Joseph county did for Congressman 15arnhart under what the Herald terms the "benighted influence .f The News-Times." Mr. Hickey tniffht, at last, have realized upon the haste with which he accepted the nomination two years ag" and finally made his seal. No. we are not blaming the Herald for Mr. Hickey's defeat. It made an uphill tight, giving no quarter and asking none, even to the point of utter disregard for the truth, logic, or even common sense, in pushing its rage. Its failure, if it was its failure, has been one of the head, not the heart. It was determined, but with little or nothing to work with candidate, issues, or intelligence, it couldn't make the rade. That is all. It needed more help, of a different quality than it had. As a specimen, we would say. that had there been a few more evlitori.il postmasters in th' district, publishers of d e r. ) o rat u newspapers, playirg a pussyfoot

It is interesting and important as a commentary on the utter lailure of schools to produce enlightenment outside of certain conventional limits. A pupil comes out of school knowing no more of nature than his untrained senses teaeh him. He is taught to write and to read, which are admirable and indispensable human inventions, but he is not taught to understand many of the simplest

Ul AND AT 'ILM AGAIN! Reverses are the common lot of mere and mortal man. They often coldly nullify our most ecstatic plan. We see a humble universe submitting to our schemes; We hear the planets marching to fulfillment of our drean.i , We sight our happy horoscope projected in the skj, Rut suddenly the skein of things is tangled and awry. However, we may reasonably question who we arj, Thi-'t all our hopes should ne redeemed precisely at their par? Must this extensive, intricate ensemble of events Mvolve but in accord with our petitions and intent Must all the mighty forces of the great celestial tires Rend down in tame submission to accomplish our desires ." It is not so; and he by whom the signs are wrongly read Must bark his unrellective shins and bump his bony head. üut let us not be broken by our rash and foolish hreaks. Nor ever be defeated by our multiplied mistakes. The man who tries and tries again according to hU light Ry law of chance and strength of heart at bust will hit it right. a. d. r

Thus Not Kcr Tims.

NEW YORK DOESN'T COUNT. No phase of this remarkable election has been more impressive than New York' loss of political prestise. For the first time it is clearly apparent that the rest of the country is politically independent of the Empire state. That state is still a big factor in any election, with its forty-five electoral votes, but it is not the decisive factor. To the west the recognition of this fact brings no particular surprise the west has long been discounting New York influence. Rut to the residents of NewYork state, and especially of New York city, it comes w ith crushing force. The effect on. a typical Gothamite of having it demonstrated that his city doesn't really count in national politics that the real political dictatorship is held by the provincials west of the Mississippi river is stupefying. Uegardless of any immediate partisan application of thus fact, it must be recognized as a wholesome thins for the country in general. It is no better for the country to be governed by New York politically, and ywung to the republican or democratic column as that metropolis dictates, than it was for the country to be controlled by New York financially. The United states has, in effect, declared its political independence of any state or city. It has shown that the three most populous states in the Union, including the three largest cities, even when holding solidly together for either party, may be disregarded and outweighed. And in all campaigns hereafter, the less populous states and cities will be looked upon with greater respect.

FREEING GERMANY. ne of the most trustworthy of the American correspondents who have visited Germany reports that the nation is now almost as much interested in internal reform as in the war itself. Rut there is no hint of revolt. There is to be a revolution, but a peaceful one. For the autocratic government has virtually agreed to grant democratic reforms without a struggle. Mr. Swope quotes an ollicer of the general staff as repeating these words of the kaiser himself: "My people have shown that nothing is beyond them, and they shall have' as large a share as they desire in the affairs of their government." He quotes Zimmerman, chief under secretary of foreign affairs, as saying: "The important feature of the change will be the erection of direct responsibility of "government by the people through their representatives in the reichstag." Under the present system the active he3d of the government is the chancellor. He U responsibly not to the parliament, nor to the people, tut to the emperor. And the Ilohenzollern emperor acknowledges responsibility only to God. In effect the kaiser is sole sovereign. The reichstag has little power. It will mean a huge change if the chancellor is made answerable to the reichstag. It will mean still more If the people are given genuine manhood suffrage, as we know it, with every citizen voting and every vote counting for as much as every other vote. And when Germany becomes so democratic as that, Germany and America will understand each other better.

Another express company ruined by the competition

The shadow of the old classic idea!

still hangs over our educational system. In place of (Jreek and Latin we have 'modern literature." In substitution for Homer and Virgil we have the up-to-date spinners of words and yarns. The young mind is taught to look up to some clever story writer as a "great genius" and his craftsmanship" and crude ventures in "iwterlretin? life and character" are set up as models of intellectual achievement, The pupil is made to feel

ashamed if he dots not know about I upstairs."

the method and performances of' i)h- tempora.

these "ma-sters," hut nobody points the linger of scorn at him if he cannot tell why the moon changes its figure as it travels through the sky. In truth 1 have reason to suspect that some of the teachers themselves would have difficulty in explaining that! Th? world is held back by such a

system of education as this. Litera

ture should be the dessert on life's table; but it is made the main dish. I find my little girl knows all about Carlyle, Kipling et al., but if she knows anything about the sun and moon her knowledge is not derived from her school teachers. .She reads "Rurke on Conciliation," and "Kim." and the Rssay on Ruins." as prescribed studies, but somebody outside the school has to teach her to read nature, a greater orator, preacher and romancer than' all the word weavers put together. We ought to count the age as long past when "learning" was regarded as identical with the ability to write and to scan Latin verse, a la Dr. Johnson, but the spirit of that age is with our educators still. Of course, I do not mean to decry literary education, kept within reasonable bounds, but it is not literature that has pushed mankind to the point of mastery over the forces of nature which, with much labor, and the expenditure of much time, it has, at last, reached. Let us be just to ourselves and to our descendants. ,A very few story tellers will amply suffice for the world's needs, and it is robbed of its meed of real laborers in its teeming and waiting harvest fields when thousands of young minds, in every educational center, are imbued with the notion that they may be inchoate literary geniuses. To return to the question about the moon, and this perhaps is the hundredth time that I have heard It asked by "educated" persons. The visible form of the moon changes because, first, it shines by reflecting the light of the sun and not by Rivinp forth light of its own, and second, because it travels around the earth in such a way that it is sometimes between the earth and the un and sometimes on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. At the beginning of the month, (lunar) the moon is between the earth 'and the sun. and being an opaque body, the sunlight cannot pass through it, so that it is invis

ible to us because the side of it that j receives light from the sun is turn-i ed away from the earth. As it sw ings ! out from the line between the sun ' and the earth a part of that half!

of the moon which is illuminated begins to come into view from the earth, and this part has the form of a credent, because it is the edge of a globe or sphere. You can graphically illustrate this by taking a globe and passing it between you and a lighted lamp. The farther it gets out of line with the lamp the more of its illuminated side will become visible in the shape of a "new moon." When the moon has reached a point at right angles to ihe direction of the sun we secits illuminated half sideways, or, in other words, it appears as a halfmoon. As it begins to swing round toward the earth opposite the sun. the visible portion of its illuminated hemisphere increases to a "gibbous" or oblong shape, and finally when it is exactly opposite the sun, as seen from the earth, the whole of its illuminated face is turned toward us. and it appears as a "full moon." Klementary as all this seems, I
