The other day, a m in holding a Fed-
eral office; according to the statement
published, to.d the reporter engaged
in taking a straw ballot that'he was
for Ferguson because the n wspaoers
were against him.
We faricy that the pTson ahuded to
was speaking in a jocul ir vein, th? as-
sumption being baled upon th? hypo-
thesis that he couli scarcely hold the
office he fills If he »ve••? weakminde’d
enough -to form his political opinions
upon any such basis
But it is a fact, nevertheless, ‘hat
nine-terilhs of the newspapers of Tex
as are opposed to Ferguson and ar?
supporting Hobby and there are about
2,00Q newspapeis in Texa<.
There they are—the big billies, the
re.igious press, the traces pipers, the
county papers, all pracite;rily united
for Hobby. —"
It Is indeed unusual for such spec-
tacle of journalistic unanimity to be
presented anywhere.
But lhe unanimity-of the newspep-
’rs is m* more remarkable ii an ihe
unanimity of the ministers of Hi? gos-

The same idea lies bacck of the Brit-
on's “doing his bit’’. But I saw that
phrase woefuTy misinterpreted the
other day. The private citizen of
Britian was pictured as performing
some service or other, joi* enduring
some sacrifice or ottter. and thereup-
on inflating himself with self-com-
placency. . He had “done his bit"—
paid his admission fee— abd was en-
titled. to jsee the show free of further
charge, ,
How little the commentator* knew
his Englishman! i do not like that
smug phrase, either. But it ggrates
and irritates, not because it is a
boast, but because it so exasperatingly
isn’t. An Englishman loses his estab-
lished busines or his estate, or an- arm
Mr his eyes, nr his five grown sons,
or maybe'all of these; and says; if
asked, that it is “his bit”,,; and nos°s
around for another bit to give.. He
chafes in an agony of dread test somo-
body will get emotiona' about it and
want to sympathize or praise. Through
even a world conflagration our Brit- ‘
on m^ans to Keep his poise and his
tight little isle; but be assured—if he
loses either, it will be the islt.
W e Americans—firalse be!—a r e
more forthought.- YV e keep on our
sbiXris, as a rule, but we are not
afraidv bo vol up the sleeves, or even
to take them off. So we don’t do our
bitff This is a scrap, and we make
a personal affair out of it. Anyway,
we will, according as each of us gets
into the scrap. The on'y thing is for
eacch of us to gget into it, and quick-
ly, too Then we also steal be woefuly
misinterpreted if wo are described as
doing our bit. Making it a personal
affair means something else entirely
from the way we underetaud that
phras. In a knock-^own fi«ht, when
an-American lands a' stirr blow, he
dn<!s not call it his hit' aul step back.
He keeps -on landing mor1. He figures
that he has done nothing untill his
man is licked.
That is Am"rica tn war—In this war
"specially. Each of us, once in it,
wi'l find some’way and many ways—
not meddling and frivolous ways, hut
I way9—{o pw80naiiy
■think they c«n boss the earth.

American will see the personal affair
through, until the fiilthy gray beck
pest is abated once for all, .and the
stench of it gone forever,, except in
memory.
