\ politician.
(From tin*’Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
One handy phrase corn' s readily to tiie lips «'f self righteous critics
when they wish to condemn some appointee or aspirant for oflice. Like
any other standard jest, it always takes well.
“Oh, he's a politician," they say.
Let it be admitted that politicians occasionally run for office and that
they are sometimes elected. What does that prove? What is a poli
The primary definition of a politician is one engaged in politics.
Politics means the administration of public affairs. A politician, then,
is one who has had some experience in administering public business. If
more than this is implied It is because language has become perverted by
Public service in America needs men and women trained by exper
ience—politicians, if you please. Not machine politicians, not party er
rand boys or puppets for bosses, but clean, capable individuals who see
in politics the possibilities of a reputable, useful professional career.
It is no legitimate criticism of a man to say he is a politician. On
the contrary, it may constitute merited praise. If he is a gang politician
or a dishonest or an otherwise undesirable politician, let bis critics say so.
Unless they say that they make no point.
Public affairs not uncommonly suffer for the absence of real politic
ians. We need more, not fewer, politicians in office. Provided, always,
they are politicians with ability, courage and the right point of view.
FOtKiV OUTLOOK FOR THU WETS.
(From the Omaha Bee.)
» While A1 Smith. Tom Taggart and Charlie Murphy are conversing
at French Lick, and other wheel horses of (he democratic party, including
Senator Reed of Missouri, are planning to put a wet plank in the party’s
platform, the women are saying something dlcerent yet. Oldtime poll*
ticians may think it would be a good thing to at least hold out a little
hope to the wets, but they are constantly being reminded of a eh in go
that has come over the spirit of the party.
The Christian .Science Monitor has Just completed a survey of ?:i*»
country, gathering expressions from democratic women, and finds them
to be solidly united against any concession to rum. in the platform or
otherwise. Mrs. George Bass of Chicago, first woman to sit on the dem
ocratic national committee, says it "would be a very foolish political party
that would permit a wet plank in its platform." Alfred G. Allan of Cin
cinnati. a leader in Ohio, says such a plank will mean a definite split io
the party.
The position of the republican party is fairly settled by the char
acter of the candidates so far mentioned. Bach has taken a flat stand
for law enforcement. If anything can be considered as settled this far in
advance of the meeting of any of the national nominating conventions, It
is that the wets will be decidedly out of luck so far as getting consolation
from any of the parties. This state of affairs should encourage the for
mation of another party, to which the disconsolate may rally. This is
the customary proceeding.
AMONG I’ll FIR PI KRK.
(From the Lowell Courier-Citizen)
It is proposed to build three new bridges over the Charles river, to
be named for Calvin Coolidge, Charles W. Eliot and Henry Dadsworth
Longfellow. Each man thus memorialized is sure to be rated by poster
ity among his piers, we might say.
LEAGUE'S FOURTH BIRTHDAY
(From the New York Times)
The people of the United States are said to have shown their hostility
to the League four years ago. It would be interesting to know accurately
how many American friends of the League there are on its fourth birthday.

f 1V1LIZAT10X OWES PERT TO GOOD ItOADM
Th.ii c-vilixation owes a great debt to th* hiphwav builders can be
understood by reference to history. The first European highways were
those which went out from Rome, that the Roman soldier might have
easy and quick access to the remotest bounds of his great empire. With
him went law and order. Later, over the highways, went the school
master and the college, the .education, the institution and its teachers.
The missionary of the Cross used the highway, the church spread its doc
trine over the highway, and to Jais day, the great churches, schools, col
leges. hospitals, and institution* for the amelioration of the condition of
mankind, are found always on. never, away from, great highways.
It is the highway which made the city, not the ,-rty the highway.
It is the highway which made .-the demand for t h»* railroad, which is but
a steel highway for cars of steel. It is the highway over which all freight
must move sometime, the highway over which must travel all that is
good, noble, desirable in life.
Where good highways are. there is a good civilization. Where are
poor highways, are usually ignorance, poverty, disease, lawlessness, lack
of culture, poor standards of living, misery.
Investment in highways means investment in civilization!—From

WHY general wood STAVED home.
During da'--* ■ *' ■ war there was much discussion as to why
General Leonard Wood was not sent* to Europe. President Wilson was
criticised severely for keeping General Wood on this side instead of at
the front. The President never attempted to explain wjiy, publicly, he
acted as he did. The reason is now public property.
In the spring of 1918 there was much criticism of President Wilson
j 'or not sending Maj.-General .Leonard Wood to France*. His friends
maintained that he wa.s the victim of political prejudice. Civilians who
■ciuiu ii i.i.iu Fiance au- r intimate connection at American headquarters
j reported that Gen. Wood's brief tour of inspection on the other side, on
: which ho had been wounded by the bursting <>f a cun. had threatened
dissension between him and Gen. Pershing. I-n an editorial The Spring
field Republican, one of the strongest editorial newspapers in America,
''olb'd attonHrvn to Gen WnefiV rhHU!e« end popular following, and ob
served. in substance, that if it was not tin* administration's purpose to
send Gen. Wood, it should make the decision only on adequate grounds.
A few days later the editor of The Republican received from President
Wilson the following personal letter, which is now made public.
The White House. Washington. June F». 1918. j
To the Editor of the Republican:—
T hope you will not be surprised to know that I subscribed almost
in Its entirety to the inclosed editorial from The Republican.
I am keenly aware of and keenly sensitive to the implications
which will he drawn out of the fact that 1 am not sending General
Wood to the other side, and I want personal friends like yourself
upon whose approval I depend for my encouragement to know why 1
am not sending him.
In the first place, I am not sending him because Gen. Pershing
has said that he does not want him. and. in the second place. General
Pershing’s disinclination to have Gen. Wood sent over is only too
well founded. Wherever Gen. Wood goes there is controversy and
conflict of judgment. On this side of the water we can take care of
things or that sort, because the fighting is not being done here, but
it would be fata! to let it go on at or anywhere near the front.
I have had a great deal of experience with Gen. Wood. lie is
a man of unusual ability, but apparently absolutely unable to submit
his Judgment to those who are superior to him in command. I am
sorry that his great ability cannot be made use of in France, but. at
the same time. I am glad to say that it is being made very much use
of in the training of soldiers on this side of the water, a task for which
lie is eminently well fitted and which he is performing with diligence
Faithfully yours.
WOODROW WILSOX.
RETORT COl'RTKOl'K.
(From th»* Worcester Teles rani. 1
The Hartford Conrant is against the wholesale bonus, but it doesn't
believe in denouncing the soldiers who ask for it. "Everbody in tho
country,” it says, “should be grateful for the fact thait when at last they
did go over there, in spite of President Wilson, they turned the scale and
defeated Germany, or at least ended the war." That's tight. We also
ought to be grateful to the men of the G. A. R.. who. in spite of Abraham
Lincoln, saved the Union and freed the slaves.
To show that Americans are no longer illiterate. It may be stated
that not only can they spell the name of the new Chinese game, but they
can spell It in half a dozen different ways.
AMONG THK ALASKA NKWSPAPKRS.
Our old friend. Harry V. Hoben, who is one of the live wires of
Seward and interested, financially, Jn the leading enterprises there, has
purchased a half interest in the Seward Gateway, which will continue to
be edited and published by Hal 11. Selby. A new linotype and cylinder
press have been ordered, and the paper is to be materially improved.
It now looks as though those Yukoners will be able to continue their
accustomed "hoisting” without cessation or even reduction in the matter
of frequency, an international agreement having, it seems, been reached
whereby liquor may be shipped through American territory into interior
Canada. In the first place such a prejudiced measure should never have
been passed. The United States is wiithln her rights in legislating for
her own domain but to attempt to extend beyond the International border
was going a bit strong. But to make trades whereby a law in existence
is to be violated is something else again.—Stroller's Weekly, Juneau.
Residents of Anchorage are overlooking a bet. There is a stampede
on to a nearby quartz strike and the town Is not a bit excited about it. At
any rate, Henry Ford says In his Dearborn Independent that a rich find
has been made and that a rush of stam peelers has resulted. The article
says: '‘Warm Chinook winds in Alaska have caused the melting of ace
water to ert>de* new lands and expose deposits of gravel containing rich
gold findings. On the west side of Tumagain Arm an avalanwh© 100
feet wide and mile long, rushed down a mountain, cutting deep into the
soil, revealing three ledges of rich quartz. Every unattached man in
Anchorage has left for the spot to stake his claim."—Anchorage Alaskan.
