"ENEMIES OF THE GERMAN
CAUSE"
If hua i remained fur the Gerniun
government to give extreme 'partisans
In America sound advice which their
own newspapers und toaders in this
country ought to havo given them
lone, ago.
A rccont statement from Merlin to
(lio Ameritan public tells activo pro
Germans what tho majority of Ameri
cans lmv(; known for many months
thal violent efforts In behalf of the
Fatherland only defeat their own
purpose.
Tho German government in this
statement "docs mott emphatically
declare to Germana ubroud, to Gor
man-American citizens in thc United
Statu;, to thc American people, all
alike, that whoover IH guilty of con
duct tending to associate its cause
with lawleBBness of thought, sugges
tkm or deed against life, property ot
order in tho United 8tute? is in fact
an enemy of that v?:ry cause and u
source of embarrassment to the Ger
man government, notwithstanding
anything he or they may believe to
thc contrary."
The sincerity bi Germany's dis
claimer of all responsibility for of
fensive propaganda and acts of vio
lence in this country need not bo dis
ciiHRpd nt pr^Rflnt: Legal pri>C2di?r?
now under way will soon sliow what
connection, it any, Berlin has with the
conspirncUd and crimes for which
eighty German partisans, some allenB
and others American citizens, are now
under arrest in tho United StoteB. The
point IB that, whether the activities
in question wore inspired from Ber
lin or not, they were foolish in in
tent and execution, doing Germany in
calculably more harm in a moral
senso than could be compensated by
any incidental material gain through
interfering' with, tho allies' war sun^
piles.
Thoro is no question that legitimate
advocacy of the German cause has
cufferod grievously In the. United
States becauso of these plots and pro
paganda. " Tho American public bas
boen driven to such indignation that
Germany has not. had a fair hearing.
There is no question, olther, that
Gorman-Americans u a class have
suffered undeservedly from the mis
guided zeal Of a few propagandists
and fewer criminals. There has never
boen any good reason why German
Americanism should bo associated
wlih criminality. . And yet many Gor
men leaders, and particularly the
German-language newspapers, which
net;limo to speak .for. our German citi
zens, hove HO uniformly pursued a
policy of .-condonerncnt of crime, and
denunciation of things American that
they have fostered this misconcep
tion nnd ids tenod uh undeserved taint
cn their own people. O:
Now tho repudiation by Germany of
tho policy which these : leaders ?nd
organs7 havo oponly or covortly en
couraged leaves them aa high and dry
as Germany's back-do wu in the sub
marine warfare Je ft Ihera, after they
had stubbornly maintained tho prin
cipi? of sea-murder and defended the
Lusitania massacre.
SENATORIAL ASI) PANTS
. The sartorial question lu its rela
tion to statesmanahip is brought to
the foro by. Senator Lawrence Y,
Sherman of Illinois. The two sena
tors from that atato represent op
posite extremes in- dress. (Senator
Janies Hamilton Lewis, as thu world
'.mows, ls the fashion plato of the na
tion's capital, ' and . a source of per
petual inspiration and pride to his be
loved Chicago. Xe for Senator Shor
.'ft*n-~woII,'- here are the facts'; every
man may size tho,senator up fer him
self. _
8evcrat months ago Senator Sher
man's campaign manager, W. S.
Hosenfeld, inveigled him into a Wash?
Ingt?n tailor's shop, had tho doors
locked and then stood guard while
tim senator waa forcibly measured for
a dr?Bs Bult. 80 far, so go a. But
lt appears that thc senator never
wore the ?ult.
Tho other day /Mr. Rosea feld made
another attack. Ho sent Senator
Sherman a letter from a Cook coun
ty constituent, charactorixlng Mr.
Sherman's disregard 6f fashion as a
slanderous ?and criminal , jniarepre
sen'tatl?vV. cf thc 'grt?v state of Illi
?0?S.\ Mr. Itosonfohl also o.dn<ul vig
orous commenta of his own. V'?7heri
upon tho senator wrote a reply, from
Whloh these excerpie a re taken : ; .
"I am sorry to make my friands ed
much trouble.. I will try to have my
irousers pressed at EU!table intervals,
?uy thro* or four. months apart. I
?)hoH hereafter endeavor to change
my shirt every time the moon quar
ilBitt so far as the pattern is con?
iern?dl; ? never pay any attention to'
it- ; A shirt ls a shirt. When X end
a shirt that ls the right number; I
hay it. ;:?Hr..,:. ...;.'vj
"MoBt or my r.lotlica arc selected
tlio camu way. lt is an exceedingly
.simple syatem. It enables mn to save
eo.iaJderablc time which I can uso fo
other purpose. ,
"80 far un wearing, a black cutaway
cont with striped troueers 1B concern
ed, kindly put (hat in storage, ulong
with the ?ilk hat. I positively de
cline.
"Moreover, I um confirmed in my
course ot life by my colleague, Sena-!
tor Lewis. What hopo is there of I
competing with him In his ward
robe? So I very contentedly resign j
all claims to wearing apparel. Sen
ator LOWIB keeps the gosBipi; guessing
to much of the time that they never
notice me, and thia ls a very happy
arrangement for both of us.
"I will keep the bng out of tho
knees of my punts and not lot my
brains get baggy any more than I can
help. Thc latter. I suspect, lu prob-,
ably the main thing, after all, al
though Washington Dhows signs of it"
very soldom." ;
The public probably has the same
Huspicinn. And even Illinois, if it
wore perfectly honest, would doubt
less confess to a secret admiration of
Senator (Sherman's attitude.
'Abraham Lincoln, who also was
from Illinois, would have scorned
even to have hib trousers pressed.
And there isu:t any question that,
whether lt's n case of statesmen or of
ordinary human beings, the average
American prefers the baggy-trouBers
type to tile Beau Brummel.
DOMESTIC HAPPINESS
Col. Henry Watterson, the famous
editor of the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal, was asked on his golden wedding
anniversary what tho secret of mar
ital happiness is. And he replied:
.'Thera's no secret about IL .Mrs.
Watterson has always let me alone,
aud I have let her alone. When she
saw I needed help she. asked me how
she could aid me, and did it. When
she was not exactly satisfied about
anything, I just asked her if I could
holp her. That's all."
Thia doesn't cover the wholo
grouud, by any means, but It prob
ably contains the essentinl recipe for
matrimonial success. The di verco
courts show that domestic felicity hr
likely to bo duo to on? of these ivo
causes:
? Either ono partnor trlea to inter
fire too much with the other's free
dom, or CIBO one la too Indifferent io
tho other. Either may be fatal.
Thu Watterson 'family, apparently,
has solved tho problem by finding tho
middle ground. Each has. had what
evory self-respecting man or woman
wants and needs-freedom to preserve
his or, her own Individuality, living
his or her own life so far os marital
partnership permits. But this mutual
freedom has not been . indliYoreuce.
While each has gone his or her; owu
way,;each-has-always known that, the
other atood ready for instant sym
pathy and help in caso .of heed.
Col. Wattera'on could make a. fino
editorial out of that if he wanted to.

a long time, they. decided that the

NEW POLITICAL PARTY
Englishman Opposed to Coalitlo., GOT?
cn-ment Now In Com.ol.
London; Dec. 23.-A movement to
ward forming a new political party
len own as the national -aa been int
Gated by Sir Arthvr Ma rich nm wtth ?
the object, so hiB critics assert, ol
opposing the present coalition gov
ernment. In the leadership of the
new party are associated tho ' names
of tho principal discontents in parlia
ment, including Slr Edward Carson.
Lord Charles Ber caf ord and Slr Hen
ry Dalziel. But t'.io announcement
seems to have been made before the
nisse of the founders were ripe, and
no serious support has been given to
the movement by any section ot Gie
preys, while most of tho papers aro
trying to kill it with ridicule. There
was also an effort to laugh it out'ot
parliament.
? A letter .from Markham, whlcO/,-.[ is
taken as a manifesto of tho new par
ty? boa appeared in ono of* thc leading
conservativo -papers of London. No
definite constructivo policy is worked
out, but a great deal of fault has
been a strong critic of- the government
yet ho has mao * no speeches timi
have beea widely quoted or comment
ed upon. He is a coal and iron mag
nate and, while representing a liberal
coastltuoncy, ho . is popularly con
sidered the leader or- tho big business |
element. As far; the other discon
tents. Carson is known ns a tighter of j
forceful personality, but he is an ad
vocate -rather t'..an au originator an i
he was not the .; real organiser .. of
Ulster resistance during the .home
rule campaign. Dalziel is a severe
critic, but one of tho napers points
