Admiral Mahon's death has occurrer) at a time when hl» teachings and In fluence haa begun to bear great anti good fruit. Press comment la general and all of It laudatory. The New York Times well aaya: “The clarity of Admiral Ma han'a vision and Ida faculty for re search. combined with an exceed ingly attractive Htrrary style made hla various hooka on (tea power and his biographies of Far ragut and Nelson works, which will never be neglected The urgent needs of the country will tend. In the hour of hi* passing, to the association of bis memory In the public mind principally with his advocacy of an efficient American navy for the protection of thla country,and Its posses sions." It Is a matter of lnlereal to those who concern themselves with psychol ogleal matter*, that the spirit of ti , man eomea more atrnngly to life us the physical decline nr lose begins ; Admiral Mahno Is still with us In hlu writings and we -doubt not that in the next few years he will be mure widely , known and reallaed than ever before, j t , 1,- WHY MULTIPLY . WORDS? Mr. Taft ties done himself no credit In advertising his Interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine In lt» application to ft hypothetical invasion Of Canada Rein* the ex-president of this nation hi* view* are accepted in foreign lands a* authoritative and given a weight and Importance which here In Ameri ca they do not necessarily receive. Not many week* ago Mr. Taft pro nounced hlmaelf strongly us sustaln ing President Wilson In his appeal to American cltlsans to guard their speech and avoid with scrupulous care expressions of opinion which would create mischief or fan prejudice for one side or the other In this great European struggls. It Is rather strange that he should now he dropping so glaringly Into an error against which he so recently pronounced himself. It Is. we fear, the influence of partisanship. The Republicans appear to have entered upon a vindictive and determined policy of ruling by ruining and while Mr. Taft, who has always been; nt laast In purpose on higher ground than the controlling powers of his part', now appears to hiye suc cumbed to the temptation of meddling In a very delicate matter and one which concerns the present adminis tration most Vttallv Not onlv ts the serene course of thi* government In this present world crises important to the present administration. however It la tremendous!' - Important to the country and to the people of this country, and we dcenlv deplore that this aspect pf an unnecessary discus sion of a delicate International cues, tlon did not urge Itself upon Mr. Taft INTELLIGENT CITIZENSHIP. As the session of the National Mu nicipal League, which has recently been In session in nnltimore. Mr. Henry Waite, the city manager of Dayton. Ohio, in dis ussing the com miaaion-manager plan for governing cttlea. stressed the point that the per manency of this tdan depends alto gether upon the determination of In telligent clttrens to rtd municipal af fair* of partisan polities. It seems unnecessary to remark that until the spirit of intelligent citizen ship becomes established in a commu nity, such plan* as those of commis sion government and city management by an expert economist stand tittle chance of being tried When, as Is of ten the case, such movements are lite rally "cabbaged" and controlled by one or another political clique, they vary naturally fail The old ward sys tem becomes instituted once more and the usual wasts and graft go on again, greatly to the satisfaction of those who are getting something out of it. Intelligent cltlsenship. of course, recognises that the life and progress of toe community is mor# essential to the progress and opportunity of each Individual ottlsen than graft and waste, but when the grip of apeciid privilege once gete hold to a commu nity a more than ordinary endowment of intelligence among Its people is necessary to loosen this grip Some times the change ts affected, however, without shaking ths grip of a special clique. The result In such cases Is not fltr-rearhtng nor satisfying to the community at targa We may put tt m our pipes and smoke tt that until we begin to look beyond cliques and party boundaries toward the good and progress of the whole community, we shell not get very far tn our political plans, let us put to ourselves one question on every local issue that comes up: "Ito you believe that the entire town will profit by this*" W* must team to think In terms of the whole .immu nity, f tee hope to help our commu nity to prosper and progress.

The supply of rotten securities would be turned off at the tap If there were no gullible public ready to swallow them, through Ignorant greed bred of stupid extrav agance. A horde of questionable company promoters and share-pushers and other organizers of financial rot tenness would have to turn over new leaves, and honest finance would come by its own, being no longer defiled by pitch from the buckets of the bucket shops. "Then, when the wrong kind of spec ulation had been done away with, and mere ignorant gambling no longer led the impecunious into disaster, there would be more money for the right kind of speculation, the testing of neyv processes and the financing of new inventions. Speculation Is necessary to economic progress, but It ought to mean the risking of capital on honest but unproved ventures, put before the public by responsible firms, and the risk should only be taken by those who are prepared, and can afford, to lose their money. ” ’For nt least half his expenditure,’ says Mr. Plbblee, ’an ordinary indi vidual does not know what he wants, and out of the other half for at least a half he does not get what he wants,’ ” THE CLEVERNESS OF THE GERMAN SPY: IN BAD THIS TIME London.—Thrilling stories of the mar velous cleverness of tile Gemuin spy both us sis Hu.! as he Is supposed to be continue to flood the columns of the daily pres# here.
