HAS MR. WILSON HYf NO
TIZED GEUMANY7
rpiifi IndeiHindent voter who has rend
tho Now York World to learn the best
that can bo said for Mr. Wilson nnd tho
worst for Mr. Hughes must, to retain
sanity, co mo to ono conclusion: Mr. Wil
son has hypnotized Ocrmany, Tho
staggering Kaiser, with ono side of his
brain craving peace with the United
States and the other sldo war, calls to the
voters of this German colony: "Deliver
mo from the glare of those terrible cyesl
Break his eyeglasses! Beat him! Any
thing to beat Wilson!" The World says:
if .President Wilson Is henten, the
Oermiins will have a right to regard It
ns "a glgnntlc Oermnn victory," nnd
to decornto their windows with flags.
Ortlclnl Germany may not know what
Mr. Hughes will do, but It will know
thnt the President has been defeated,
nnd by the Orrmnn voloj that Mr.
Hughes will he without ltowcr until
March 4 nnd that Inn Government of
the I'nltcrt Stntcs will ho ndrltt To as
sumn thnt tho Imperial Government will
not tnke the fullest ndvantngn of Its
opportunity Is to nnHUino that the Uer
man war eagle has become n dove.
Let us try to conceive tho tangible
happenings thus conjectured. On tho
night of November 7, nt about D o'clock,
let us say, tho nows will bo flashed to
Germany that Mr. AVllson Is defeated. It
wilt bo 2 o'clock In tho morning over thero
at that time, but patriotic Berlin will
arlso In Its nightcap nnd mako night
hideous with grisly Joy. It will decornte
the windows with tho Intertwined Ger
man nnd American flags. America, It
will cry, has repudiated Wilson and Is
loyal to tho Kaiser.
And then, glowing with tho rapture of
a now entcnto with America, tho Ger
mans will sink an American ship loaded
with American citizens, who will all bo
drowned. What could President Wilson
shy to that? Something llko this:
"Great heavens, Lansing, I havo beon
singularly repudiated by tho American
peoplo! The Government of tho United
States Is not my personal property, I
have no right to express my personal pas.
slons' through It, an I said tho Colonel
wanted to do. How do I know what
Hughes wants to do? Tho World's been
saying that he's tho Kaiser's friend, nnd
that therefore ho wants war with Ger
many, nnd that I'm the Kaiser's enemy,
nnd therefore want to keep peace with
him. Do friends mnke, war? Do enemies
keep tho peace? I've let tho World keep
saying that If I'm repudiated It means
war. Well. I'm repudiated. Then why
wait till March 4 to start war7 Send for
Daniels to call out tho marines, and let
her rip."
, More Important than even tho neces
sity of Mr. Hughes's election Is It that
wo keep our sanity. If Germany wants
war with us wo will bo- at war with
her whether Mr. Hughes or Mr. Wilson
Is elected. If Germany doesn't want war
with us we will not be at war with her,
whothcr Mr. Hughes or Mr. Wilson Is
elected. Nobody has hypnotized Ger
many, unless It Is Germany herself. Sup
pose tho Germans do want Mr. Hughes
elected. So do the English want Mr.
Hughes elected. If Mr. Hughes Is pro
German, why In tho numo of reason do
tho English want us to have a pro-Oor-man
President?
SCOTT, DOVE OF PEACE
TTAIlMONV In Organization love feasts
" has como to hang llko a rare Jewel
from tho delicate thread of Mr. John R.
IC Scott's presence. The Vares and their
various followors, Including the Mayor
and other orilclnls, dodge these dinners at
which only the McNlchol faction would
bo represented If It were not for the facile
Congressman. It Is something to tuck
away in the attlo of memory for future
reference when compromise candidacies
are discussed at Atlantic City and other
slate-making suburbs of Philadelphia,
It Is a healthy thing to expose Mr. Scott
and others ambitious to serve their fel
low citizens In high ofJlce not "expose"
in tho unpleasant sense, but In the strict
meaning of tho word, to put out, or set
forth, for scrutiny. What particular
charm or wisdom has he that gives him

on high wing botween the two bitterly
opposed factions of the Organization? Ills
career resembles somewhat that of Con.

JmfP 1 ABOUT TH
THE BOSWELL OF AMERICAN POLITICS
Edwnrd Stnnwood, Man of Letters nnd Affairs, Has Written the
Standard History of the Presidency Plays Whist and
Courts Sleep by Extracting the Cube Roqt
By GEORGE W. DOUGLAS
IT IS not given to many men to write n
book which has n continuous sale for
more than thirty years. Some of tho great
novelists and poets have done It, and a
few historians. An American to whom this
honor has coma Is Edward Stanwood. His
great book, "The History of tho Presidency"
(Iloughton-MIRUn Company, BostonX was
first published in 1884, under the title ot
"History of Presidential Elections." It was
conceived while Mr. Stanwood was editor
of the Doston Advertiser. This was In the
days when every good Iiostonlan would as
soon have gone without his coffee for
breakfast as begin the day without reading
what the Advertiser had to say. Mr. Stan
wood retired from the Advertiser when
there was a change of ownership In 1888
and became managing editor of a weekly
paper of national circulation. The greater
leisure there gave him time to produce his
book In Its first form.
In all the years since then he has been
working on It, revising It, polishing It, cor
recting and recasting, until the last edition
Just from the press Is In the form which
pleases him. It brings tho history up to
the election, of Wilson In 1012, with an
appendix giving the platforms and candi
dates this year.
When Mr. Stanwood's second book of
consequence was published a few years
ago, "American Tariff Controversies of the
Nineteenth Century," I asked him about
how It was selling after It had been on
the market a few weeks. He confessed
that It was not a "popular success" In the
sense of becoming a best seller.
"But," he continued, "I am not writing
books to make money. I want to leavo
behind me a few books with my name on
the title pago ot which my children can
be proud."
That Is the spirit In which he has worked.
Ho has spent weeks to my knowledge In
tracing down a single fact. He does not
make a statement without verifying It and
can put his finger on his authority It ques
tioned. His memory Is more tenacious ot
detail than that of any other man I ever
met. When he Is sleepless he calms him
self by extracting the cube root of numbers
In the billions, using neither pencil nor
paper, but keeping the figures In his mind.
When he wakes In the morning he can re
call the problem as he left It to fall asleep
and continue the work until It' Is com
pleted. This mental gift has made him an
excellent whist player. He has played the
game every Saturday night of the winter
season for years and has written a racy
history ot his whist club, of which the late
Edward Atkinson was one ot the best
known members.
He Is the secretary of the Massachusetts
Historical Society and ot the Arkwrlght
Club. This club Is an association ot tex
tile mill owners. Through his connection
wtlh It Mr. Stanwood has become one of
the best Informed American experts on tex
tiles., His report on the subject for tho
census of 1900 Is a mine of Information
about the Industry not only In the United
States, but In tho rest of the world. Al
though her Is a protectionist, his book on
the tnrlff Is Impartial and recites the his
tory of the great controversies over the
framing of schedules with n fairness and
accuracy which has made the book valued
by all who wish to know the facts.
It In this determination to get at the truth
which has made his history of the presi
dency the standard and authoritative work
In the field. It stands alone. Although sev
eral other books have been written on the
same subject, they are not to be compared
with his. Some of them are palpably
nothing more than ,a rewriting and reas
sembling of the Information which Mr.
Stanwood has collected. That by the late
Colonel McClure, of this city, reproduced
the tables of election returns from the early
editions ot Mr. Stanwood's books with the
Inaccuracies that they contained. It Is said
that there were typographical errors In
some of the tables, snd that these, too,
were copied. Mr. Stanwood himself cor
rected all the Inaccuracies In later editions.
Some men who have written -on the subject
havo been gracious enough to acknowledge
their Indebtedness to Mr. Stanwood.
The book la more than a history of the
presidency. It comes as near to being a
political history lot the United States aa
anything that has-yet appeared. It tells
how the early candidates for the presidency
wore nominated, how the congressional
caucus dominated national nominations,
how the first real convention was called
and summarises the Issues In each cam
paign. The history of the first "dark horse"
Is told. And there Is not a political party
of any consequence which has appeared from
the beginning an account of whose origin
and rise Is not given, along with how It dis
appeared If It has not survived The book
Is concluded with a chapter on the evolution
of the presidency. In which regret Is ex
pressed that the Chief Executives of recent
years have assumed to be a third house of
the Congress and to magnify their powers
far beyond the purpose of the Constitution.
The chapter on tha Republican split of 1012,
however. Is probably the most Interesting
at the present time. In It Mr. Stanwood
maintains that the radicalism of Itoosovelt
was bound to cause disaffection In the
party, which had been transformed from a
radical party Into a conservative one. The
Democracy, which was once the conserva
tive party, he asserts, haa become more
radical than Republicanism was at the be
ginning, and he Insists that a realignment
of the voters was Inevitable as soon aa
radicalism began to challenge the su
premacy ot conservatism In the Republican
organisation. As Mr, Stanwood Is a con
servative he is not an admirer of Colonel
Itoosovelt, but he manages to treat the dis
tinguished, tounal naturalist with the same
fairness that governs him throughout the
book.
STRAW BALLOTS UNDEFENDABLE
You don't always have to wait for a re
iteration of experiments to discover the
straw ballot's unreliability. We have be
fore us the last publication of a very fa
mous straw ballot taken In 1914, In fact,
this very ballot has since been used to es
tablish the claim of Its gatherers to cor
rectness In this line of research. It was a
New York straw ballot. It had covered a
period of Ave weeks In compilation, with
perlodto publication of results each week.
Throughout and to the very end It probed
New York State sentiment on two matters.
.the governorship and tha United States sen-
atorehlp. It showed that, whitman would
be elected governor and Gerard senator.
Whitman was elected governor, of course,
and It la upon that faet that subsequent
claims of the. ballet's accuracy have been
based l but Gerard wasn't elected senator

LIFE'S TRAGEDY
When I sit down to read at night
I hear a thousand voices call
The painted cups, the mirror bright,
The crary pattern on the wall.
The curtains, whispering that they were
Plucked from the bottom of the lea,
The ceal that knew the Flood, the chair
Remembering when it was a tree.
They told ot those who beat and broke,
Blasted and burned their lives away,'
And with them other volees speke,
And spoke mere dreadfully than they.
Terrible sounds of wee, and strife
Made thunder In th4s quiet room

German Music in London
M. Q. -The English have not put Ger
man muslo under the ban. The London
Bymphony Orchestra has Just issued the
prospectus ot a series of six concerts. Each
program comprises four works, making
twenty-four In all. Of these, nineteen are
of Oerman composition, three English, one
French and one Belgian. There are nine
Symphonies on the programs, all Oerman.
Even thote people who have pleaded for a
broad view of musical matters. so that Oer
man masterpieces should not be boyootted
think that the Bymphony Orchestra has
Unwisely gone to the other extreme in rely
ing so overwhelmingly on Teuton music,
while Ignoring completely the fine classics
of Itusslantand Italian composition.
