like CorrWilllanrD'Alton Mann would hardly be found singing the praises of the candidate of the Business Men's Presidential League. Hut the Colonel with all his impressive wealth of whiakera has Joined McHarg's chorus. What is more to the point, he brings along with him his Town Topics so well (if not favorably) known for Its insight Into the peccadilloes of so¬ ciety. Society need not Imagine that its morals will be neglected by the Colonel—he will keep his Asmodean eye cocked just the same, no matter how deeply immersed he becomes in the du Pont canvass. List to the ar¬ gument evolved by the Colonel:
General T. Coleman du Pont has one source of strength superior to any other candidate, except Justice Hughes, which lias escaped the notice of politicians. Insurance men, es¬ pecially in what is called the indus¬ trial department, believe that Justice Hughes made their business ri;putable and are griteful lo him accordingly. It Is impossiole to overestimate such an influence in an election remark¬ ably free from partisan issues. Jus¬ tice Hughes has this backing, and General du Pont shares it with him through the Equitable Life As.socla¬ tion fwhich he recently acquired). Should Justice Hughes decline the nomination. General du Pont would receive the undivided support of the insurance inleresis -without regard to party." This Is certainly Ingenious if not exactly convincing. It's a sordid sort of business, this promot¬ ing presidential booms of men pos¬ sessed of more dollars than sense. In the interest of fair play, let It be hoped that McHarg wlll not be com¬ pelled to sue his employer for his aalary aa some other promoters have had to In earlier years of the Re¬ public.
As to getting into a war with the Kaiser, that is a remote contingency. What political prestige President W'il- .son enjoys is due largely to his peace proclivities, and it is nol at all likely that he Is going to wreck his adminis¬ tration on the war roek.s If he can help it. As the gr(^at apostle of peace President Wilson is a formidable fig¬ ure in statecraft. Clad in the livery of .Mars, even his friends adniit tliat he would not be an inspiring sight. —^Wall slieet correspondence of John Marihol (William F, Clark).
A careful resurvey of the political heavens, since the recent western primaries, convinces the editor of the New York World that the Colonel will not be nominated by the Repub¬ lican National Convention. "The Ne¬ braska primaries," he declares, "have broken Roosevelt's back." Maybe. But Oyster Bay wlll have lo be shown. So wlll the stockily built gentleman who hops in and 'out of the Sagamore Hill auto with all the nlmbleness of an acrobat. Break his back? Nixie, never.
"Man ia doomed to a drug-slavery that spells premature senility and race-degeneracy," says Dr. Albert H. Carr to the Chicago Medical Society, and it is because woman is a non- user of tobacco that she lives longer than man and the same sword of Damocles does not depend over her darling head. The statistics prove to the doctor's satisfaction that "more females than males reach 70 years and that they make the century run in an accelerated ratio." Her superior vitality is simply due to the fact that she wili not poison herself with nico- tin. Doubtless it is true that nicolin has a apecial affinity for certain or¬ gans that induces deleterious changes in the cells and tissues of the vascu¬ lar system by which the span of life is materially shortened. Bui how is Ephraim lo be di'vorced from his idols? If only a sub¬ stitute for tobacco could be dis¬ covered, the great problem of life might truly be said to have been solved. Nebuchadnezzar contributed nothing toward its solution when he ran around on all fours and tried grass. The Carnegie laboratories have exhausted science in vain, the Rockefeller Foundation has coldly turned away; nicolin still runs Its noxious course. Tobacco is king, its slaves are in despair. The demon Rum is readily .strangled, but once Nicotin seizes the nerves of the sys¬ tem, the tentacles of the heart, the cells of the brain in its octopadan grasp, down, down—by the way, James, that box 'of Freeport fumars which you so thoughtfully placed at our elbow Is already as empty aa somo of those German trenches at Verdun will soon be, now that the Russians have hove In sight.
The Eagle's South Shore corres¬ pondent is known In feminist circles "a diplomatic dear." Every lady of whom he writes (and there are a great many of them)- Is "pretty" to begin with, and those who don't dis¬ play a row or two of handsome teeth arch their eyebrows in bewitching smiles. If they don't possess graceful contours they at least have dimpled chins. No wonder the bird ie popu¬ lar and Its circulation is soaring.
fortunate that some of tbese men did not exist at the time of the creation, or the creator, even if he were not run out of the shop, would have been tnade to tmal very uncomfortable at least, bv their criticisms and sugges¬ tions.—Weary Willie. In the Oyster Bay Guardian.
Rockville Centre haa a church bell so fierce, penetrating and harah that it Is known as the Tocsin of War by the sinners in the vicinity whose Sabbatarian slumbers it all too rudely shatters.
Martin A. Sprlngsteed who planned and executed the campaign that un¬ horsed County Committeeman Box Of Lynbrook, was reared In Albany county and sat at the feet of the Gam¬ aliel of the Albany Democrary of his day. Judge D. Cady Herrick. That's the reason, no doubt, Martin knows a thing or two about politics. If he "gets in" right Itt the outset, more wlll be heard In Nassau of this modest Lynbrook lawyer. Herein is a friend¬ ly hint to Oarden City. A clever apiariflt is one who hesitates not to hive the humblest bee.

Under preaent conditions we have too many presidents. Newspapers, ez- presidents and in fact men of all classes are now seeking to be Presi¬ dent, or to go still further, are exer¬ cising presidential funotlons on plat- forme, in pulpits, in newspapers. It is
The good name of former Senator Reynolds bas not as yet been a.sso- clated with Mayor Mltchel's proposi¬ tion for a municipal garbage plant on Staten leland. It may well be doubt¬ ed If the Mayor Is really serious In this niatter.
It is well to get the facts straight. If men want to consign tiie Stars and Stripes to hell they should not at¬ tempt It under the very folds of the banner that protects them in their contemptuous speech.—New York \Vg,rld. •
The Rockville Centre (3wl has made ^ change in its typographical millin¬ ery which Is not exactly Impressive. The fourth page becomes ils eighth and thereon the editor disports him¬ self under the sign, "The Owl's Edi¬ torial Page. " Thus Is the Hearst plan of make-up approved, and the Hearst dictum conflrmed tliat an editorial page is the lasl in Importance in his newspapers—as it certainly is to thoughtful readers.
Ill further elucidation of the thouglil that a Haff of this degener¬ ate day had a great-grand-daddy. Ar¬ istotle might, for he evidently has "tlie goods," have told the Soulh Side Signal's readers, that .lolin P. Haff was a member of the building com¬ mittee that erected the tirst perma¬ nent wigwam of the Tammany Society at Nassau and Frankfort streets, !sfew York city. More than that, Mr. Haff waa a sachem of the society al the time—one of the thirteen sachems in fact who laid ils corner stone on May 12. ISl I, and his name is inscribed thereon with tho.se of the other of¬ llcers of the society. The inscription ilself Is interesting and was as fol¬ lows:
"This stone is laid by the Tauiiiiany Society or Columbian Order .N'o. 1. on the i 2th day of .May, KSll, and the twenty-lirst year of its institution, and the thirty-lifth of Aiiieiican In¬ dependence, being llie flrst stone of a building erecled for preserving and strengthening that patriotic chain which unites its members and for ac¬ commodating their Uepubllcan brethren."
Le.st somebody shall rise up and de¬ clare that the phrase shuuld have read "Democratic bretiiren," it may be stated as a historical fact tlial the gentlemen who carried the Tammany standard were identified with what waa known as Uie Democratic-Repub¬ lican party of that earlier period, their political opponents being the Federalists with Alexander Hamilton at their head. Oeneral Fremont and other illustrious .sons of '.'il snipped llie tail off this awkward title and appropriated It as the title of their new party, and by it Republicans have been known ever since.
Aristotle will concede, perhaps, that Mr. Haff now knows not only something but also sometlilng more. Many of us in Na.ssau never had any great-grand-daddies to speak of, but If we had their names would be In¬ scribed high on tlie Nassau Roll of Fame. Perhaps we can gel a rise from Colonel Billy on this far-reaching sub¬ ject.
Rev. William A. Wasson, of Mattl¬ tuck, was mentioned lasl week as a possible candidate for chairman of the Sufl'olk county Democratic commltlee. Imagine a clergyman at the head of lie committee!—South Side Signal.
Why not the benelit of clergy lo Democrats as well as other Suffolk offenders?
The Democratic county committee cheerfully accorded Lynbrook Com¬ mitteeman Edward McNally all the honors of his successful warfare upon Uncle Thomas K, Box. It gave him the post of vice-chairman iieid by the vanijuished leader.
The Pliiiippines are a loug way off and whether they are betler or worse governed than ever depends largely upon whether you are looking at theni through Democratic or Republican glasses. Anybody who Is really In¬ terested in heathens need look no far¬ ther than the region south of the Rlo Grande. The heathen of the Orient has nothing on his brother heathen in the Occident. Neither of them re¬ ceives civilization and the gospels gladly. The army ofticers used to eay that the only good Indian on the fron¬ tier was a dead Indian, aud they "ameliorated"'his condition accord¬ ingly. Something of this sort is sug¬ gested by returning sojourners among the Tagalogs and the Paeans. Per¬ haps the American Board of Missions thinks on similar lines, for It has withdrawn all its representatives save one from Mexico—a lone missionary women In a land where no missionary man dare stay!
Love and Avpirdupois. — Samuel Harris," well known jn the Rocka ways as reporter for several newspapers, has returned to Florida. He left this Week and the reaaon is attributed to cupid. While spending hla usual va¬ cation there this winter he met the right lady and the dart sunk deep; in fact so deep, that since he has been back North he lost avoldupols approx- Iqiating 14 pounds and he decided it vas time to return to the Sunny South to his sweetheart.- Far Rockaway Journal.
If horrid war does come, we thluk we know several colonels who wlll not leave their sanctums long enough to beat the family pruning knives into swords. The pen is mightier than the sword anyway; who shall blame 'em ior clinging tonaclously'to it?
The State has needed a SUte police for years.—New York Times. What for?
Arthur Briabane having Informed the educated and cultivated readers of the New York Journal that the Rom¬ ans, not the Jews, cruclfled Jesus, tbe editor of the Brooklyn Tablet stands
lilm up against tb« wall and poura this molten lead into bia ear: "He gets away with the 'popular stuff' because be is wiae enough to know that many of his readers are fools. ' He knows that they don't know today what he told them' they thought they knew yesterday. He knows that many of his readers are unreasonable crea¬ tures of unrest, and he feeds them witb I'ne 'pupuiai stiiiT' thai helps to keep them such. He has been hailed as America's most able editorial writ¬ er. He is only the master of verbal trickery." If the editor of The Tab¬ let only knew what a delightful cynic ' Brisbane Is, he would never twit him on facts.

VVe wish to congratulate our es¬ teemed contemporary. Tlie Na.ssau I Post, un its leading editorials uf last week, entitled "Th>? Sage Budget Law" and "Good Work." .Mr. Her¬ bert F. Prescott of the News Bureau of the Republican State Committee is one of the best newspaper men in the country and a brilliant writer. Jft also receive these editorials last week, but were so filled up with other Repulilican doctrine that we had no! room for Mr. Prescott's able editor- ' ials.—Hempstead Inijuirer.
Confidentially, Colonel Voungs, that "Hlled up" feeling is known in news-! paporial circles ah "a symptom of wind colic. To prCjIcaai Its recurrence In \ The Inquirer's columns, Mr. Prescott's able editorials will prove most effec¬ tive. Why not try" em. Colonel?

.Many of tlie New York Sun's head¬ lines reveal that disturbed, unnerved, feverish state of mind which ever pervaded the New York Herald. The poise, ab.sence of erroneous and sensa¬ tional impression, humor and even philo-sophy of the old Sun's headlines are missing.' So oozes the past away — the age of the tadpole and the min- ] now naturally succeeds the age of tlie whiiie.
