If the people don't want It they can repudiate It. but Wilson promised it and after bis duty Is done the rest of the responsi bility Is with the people. r 'bo Republicans arc not going to come back, but by working very bard they ar - taking a chance at fooling th ■ people for tlio sake of getting >t sort of hatch patch of socialism and monopoly under Roosevelt's leader ship.

THE "GAP BETWEEN REIGNS." Word comes now and then from Eu rope that the attitude of the "left overs" In the diplomatic and consular service Is highly arrogant, not to say offensive to the Wilson appointees. Those who have not been replaced by Democrats show their appreciation y'' lbs administrations consideration of them by aaauring their foreign friends that the present status of affairs is hut an experiment— a gap In the reign of the plutocrats. In fact. This sort of thing butters no pars nips for the Roosevelt and Republican forces. It has rather an unfortunate effect In gls Ins out the Impression tu Europe of psrty bitterness among Americans und It inukes the duties of Wilson upixdntes somewhat more uniHxtng than would otherwise la the case; but the point Is that It demonstrates, with great dearness, that diplomacy Is nid merely a mat ter of "training" as the opposition newspapers and magazines have so Insistently contended If these Republican servants of th< I'nlted Ststcs government have not the tact and discretion to keep their partisan feeling to themselves, they certainly should not be entrusted with duties In foreign countries which re quire peculiar qualities of self-re straint. delicacy and refinement u( feeling Remaining in the harness of the I'nlted States, diplomatic service Is not of Itself "training" in diplomacy. The Republican papers have made hii enormous howl about the new admin istration's putting In- "untrained" men —ns though diplomats ware ilk. trapese performers, or trained "ani mals, who do tricks As a matter of fset wlint the I'nlted States needs in Europe is more gentlemen and fewer plutocrats. The people of Europe are human beings and for the most part they are cultivated and refined. They srv far more Impressed with American money than they arc with American manners for the reason that they sec more of American money than they do of American manners The Democratic administration.

OUR SCHOOLMASTER (Exchange.) A proneßH In refer to President Wil son as a "schoolmaster" la noticeable ill the debates at Washington. 11 is opponents can cast no odium on Woodrow Wilson by calling him a "schoolmaster." Were there no other reason, the great service President Wilson has rendered Ids country In one short year of .administration makes any epithet applied to him recoil on those who fling It. He lias liberated American business and emancipated the American people from the inequities and Injustices of n monstrous tariff. He has freed American credit from one man domi nation and restored It to the hands of the sovereign American people. He lias given tils country and countrymen a banking system that by all the tes •tniony available Is a trumph for a free people In a free country. It is a system that parties and conventions of parties, that congresses and com mittees of congresses tried 111 vain for nearly a generation to produce, but one that for framing nml enactment had to wait for Woodrow Wilson and the present Congress. Hut there Is another reason why any attempt to make the word "school master" a term of contempt will be forever futile. Ten of the twenty eight president* of the United States were former schoolmasters. Teaching was ttic life work of President Oar field. Others among the presidents who at one time or another engaged in teaching were John Q. Adams. James Madison, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce. Chester A Arthur. Orover Cleveland. William McKinley and William H. Taft. it Is an honorable roll Woodrow Wilson has traveled In good company In passing from the school room to the presidency. It Is as honorable to be a teacher as to be president Every school house is a temple, and every teacher a toller for civilisation. To build a school house Is to construct a fort for the de fense of the republic. Every school library is an arsenal filled with weap ons und ammunition for upbuilding the nation and its honor. Let no man point the finger of con tempt at the grand army of teachers. Let no gentleman believe that he can stigmatize Woodrow Wilson by call ing him a "schoolmaster."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.. One hundred and twenty years ago today the balloon made its first suc cessful appearance as an engine of war. It was at the battle of Fleurus during the French Revolution. It was this balloon that enabled the revolu tionists to win the battle and subs' - quentl.v establish the French Republic. At sunrise of this day tile Inigo silken bag, Inflated with hydrogen, was tug ging at Its anchor ropes in the French Republican camp. The opening of the battle was a signal for General Morlot to climb Into tile basket. The soldiers slowly let out the cable until the bal loon and aeronaut rose high above the battlefield. Reneatb him lay the ene my's lines In full view. While the balloon gently eddied in the breeze, AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. Tom walked nervously up and down In the reception room of the hospital. Me had been there since daylight, watting and wondering and hoping that everything would be all right. Al ways looking anxiously toward the door for one of the nuraes to come in and say that the little stranger had arrived and that he could go up and see Jennie at last. There was one other man in the reception room. Tom had not noticed him before, but now saw that this man was nervously fin gering his hat brim, then he would go and look out of tt\e window- with his hand clenching and relaxing. Sud denly he turned to Tom as ts he was going to sreak. then thought better of It and looked out of the window again. Tom walked up lo him and extended hla hand. And In that handshake there was that mutual, silent under standing that comes to few men and was the beginning of a Itfe-long friendship. "The last one we had died, and ita mother nearly died, too, hut you'll pardon me, please. I’m a bit THEN AND NOW “Oh, I'm so happy” Morlot drew a sketch of the enemy's strategic position and then tossed it overboard in a heavy flag—bedecked package. Thus every move of the foe was reported to the. commander-in chief on the ground below during the ten hours in which the balloon remain ed aloft. The commander’s questions, written out and attached to a cord that hung from the balloon, were haul ed up by the aeronaut and quickly answered. The idea of using a bal loon in warfare had been conceived, but not used, twelve years before, at the siege of Gibraltar. At that time Joseph Montgolfeir, who later made the world's first successful i assenger carrying balloon, proposed “to intro duce into Gibraltar an entire army, unstrung and haven’t slept for a week." AH this ihe n an said in a very dis jointed manner, but Tom understood thoroughly. Finally a nurse came to the door and beckoned to the man As he was going out Tom heard the nurse say everything was fine and that it was a boy. As the door rinsed again all Tom could think of was what the man hud said to him. and he silently prayed that everything would he ail right with Jennie. Then Jennie’s nurse came in and told hint that now he could go tap and see his wife. Tom was dazed and hardly realized what he was doing aa he walked along the corridor. The nurse opened the door of Jennie's room, and, after Tom went in. cloaed tt azatn. leaving them alone, except for a little pink face lying curled up In Jenrle’s arm. As Tom leaned over to klsa her, Jennie whispered, "Oh, Tin so happy; It's u GIRI-" —H. C. To Be Continued I which borne by the wind and a gas, will enter right above the heads pf the j enemy.” But the siege was raised be- I fore his idea could be demonstrated. Today airships constitute one of the i most important factors in modern war i fare. All the great world powers have equipped their armies with fleets of areoplanes and dirigible ballooons, and scientists are bending every- en ergy toward Inventing new explosives and perfecting means of hurling them from the clouds with greeter accuracy Some authorities even predict that the next great war will be fought in the clouds by squardrons of airships. To day American aviators are scouting over the demolines around Vera Cruz, and are demonstrating their marvelous utility. Equipped with the latest de vices the ultra-modern army scout can fly over the enemy's country, sketch or photograph the topography of the land below the frost, cities and troop po sitions. By wireless telegraph he can send hack the information to his head quarters miles away. With the mod ern rapid fire gun lie ran defend him self with a stream of bullets. Or tat can drop high explosive bombs from his own-raft, scattering death whe.re ever it strikes—a year ago it was re ported a Mexle rebel aeronaut dropped a bomb that killed 52 soldiers instantly. If at night, the aeronaut cand drop a star bomb that explodes and shades a lasting and radiant light on the spot lie is hovering over. To escape from the new aerial guns designed to fight airships, the modern aeronaut can drop the new German bomb that spreads a dense, heavy pall of smoke between north and airship and thus permit the aviator to escape. Or he can drop another kind which gives off a poisnous gas capable of killing every living thing within 100 yeards. THE POOREST KIND OF A NEWS PAPER REPORTER.
