DUTY VS. DREAM.
To President Wilson, during ail of
tbes« crisis days, has been given the
loyal suppoi-t of the country. It is a
rapport that has been sincere and un-
ipradging. £epub>ic»ns have stood as |t^e tribunal whiclt shall end a terrible
imuch in evidence this desire to be on
friendly terms with at! of the warring
countries for the sake of whaat that
may bring at the psycbolo^cal Ume.
It is a perf«ctly proper ambition for
the Administnitian to possess, to be
filfWly behind him aa have Democnuts. jwar. but it sheuld not be indulged in
la fact, the only discordant note, the
«nly open attack upon his methods, has
come from his own party and from his
own Cabinet. There is no spirit of par-
titaaahip abiond in the nation today
to far as concerns our d^iinKS with
Germany, or with any other foreign
Government. The people look to the
man who at thta time occupies the
cOee of the Pnsaident of tbe United
Stetes to steer the country successfully
through the Scylla and Charybdis f.
ii^tc'i-imtional complication.
This loyKlty of support, howcvv.-.
c'oes not mean that the voice of advice
smi sug^tion must be entirely hu.-h-
€d. It does not mean that counsel that ^
is friendly shall not be given. It is in
this spirit that we call attention to a
M>te that seems to run through the
Cerman diplomatic correspondence of
the Whit« House which to our tnind
distinctly weakens both the pcsi-
taken and the effectiveness of our
dcalings trith the belligtent nations in
aid of American commerce upon the
seas. This is the apparent playing
for a place in history by being the
peace-maker of the pi sent conflict.
To be tbe nation that shall brinj^
yeace out of war and so end the devas~
tation of Europe is a laudable ambi
tion. To be the arbitrator who.;e judg
ment shall settle the delicate and cru
cial question!^ that must be decided,
a ptsitior. of honor and responsibility
which any nation would be proud to
hold. There is no dispute as to ioe
worth of such achiei'ement in the cause
of peace, or of the prestige which such
an accomplishment would give to the
United States.
But such honor should come in its
own way and in the right way. A
striving for it that is too evident, an
ambition that shows itself too much in
the open, will hinder the result rather
than help. Through the diplomatic
correspondence of the present days
there runs a strain of desiring to be on
terms cf amiability for the sake of
-fednc the nation to which ali I2ie bel- j The map makers have been idfe
licerente will tora when the moment Ifor soiuM time, but they’re going to

at ajiy expense whatever to American
rights.
A very logical result of such ambi
tion can be a lessened iinnneEs in the
demands which we as a neutral nation
may make upon the belligerent Gov
ernments. Thci-e can he too great a
desire to placate, there can be a falter
ing in the path of our strict duty to
oorstelve*. Protection of Amsrioan !ife
ui t'l -‘r'C-r'ty (i . the hip'h is some-
ihinp which this !!:!tio:i hus » right to
oxpccl, and the fearless nuiintenancc
of our l it!:! ;s as a neu:i ;il nation. Be-
ii.-i: ( f our iTO.'-ition and our power -
t ;(;sj)onp)liil;ty is put up'.iims. We
,.ie Iiitihcd !o i'.:' the (^vert nient that
must light the battle of :ieu4»«3ity in
behalf of other countries M Well as of
ourselves.
*nie conning of peaco !n Kurope is a
matter of the tomorrow. Ko dream of
being the central figure at that time
should interfere with the plain duty of
today. That duty is to maintain the
rights of American shipping and
American lives. The performance of
that duty :s straight, maniy fashion
is what is expected of our Government.
No possible opportunity of the future
should operate to weaken the forcc
with which we present our demands
upon foreign Governments for failure
to observe towards us those obliga
tions which our position as « neirtral
nation should command.

Somebody has discovered that thi
wearing of low-necked dresses by the

WANTED—A WORKER.
God never goes -to the lazy or idle
when Re needs men for His service.
When God wants s worker He calls
for a worker. When He has work to
be done He goes to those who are
already at work. When God ^nts
a great servant He calls a busy Tisstr.
Scripture and history attest this
truth.
Moses WBii busy with hi.s flock at
Moreb.
Gideon was busy threshing wheat
by the press.
Saul was busy searching for his
; father’s lost beasts.
; Dav*d was busy caring for his fath
er’s sheep.
Elisha was ploughing with twelv?
yoke of oxen.
Amos was busy following the

The Weakness in Mr. Bryan’s appeal
to the German-Americsn to “Stand
by the Pretrident,” is the provocation
it contains for rcort in the shape of a
question: "Why didn’t you stand by
him yourself?”
If the foui-th proRunciamenio of Mr.
Kryiin had beer, tb" fir."«t and only one
uillowing on his resignation, hi? po«:-

with the contents of the fourth, ami
the latter irresistibly challenges the
iquo-ry “what was the real re,isor. for
your i-etirement from ihc CaliinoV"
It is very natural that the Germar-
.^mericwi newspapers should expre:'?
surprise when Mr. Bryan urges them
to dismiss all doubt that President
Wilson’s desires and policies are al!
tow.^rd3 an amicable arrangement of
.".11 m.ntters of differe.:ce with Ger
many, when this ;'.ppe&l comes as a
supplement to his own severance of
official relations with the Wilson Ad
ministration on the grout\d that he be
lieved the President’s policy would
lead to war. The two &,!sertions can
not be reconciled. Tisat’s the long and
short of ii. It seeroi! to us that Mr,
Bryan acted on impulse and is now
engaged in the diSicult task of re
tracing his steps towards a basis of
re.ason v.ithout actual knowiedge-
ment th.it he went off half-cocked in
the flrst instance. Another thing
which does not look well in his final
“explanation” is the averment that the
note to Germany was “materially soft-
or.ed" after his resignation had been
i.endered. This is oiily hslf the tiiitii.
The note as finally amended, and in
the exact shape in which it was dis-
pntched to Berlin, was read to Mr.
Brysn before his resign.ation was ac
cepted, and was so shown to him with
the express purpose of altering his de
termination to quit the Cabinet, He
said then that the changes were not
sufficient to warrant a withdrawal of
his resignation aad he has no right
now to insinuate that his courae would
have been diiferent had he been aware
before resigning of the shape which
the note wotild take under xeviison.—

The child looked from the window

“Bid you saw n»7”
“No, but—"

One of the best things Elbert Hnb-

country needs most is oratorical tei-
(w'nal facilities.” j
We used to read in^ Caesar that
“all Gaul is divided into thre parts.”
But weVa seen people who seemed
to have all of it.
A lot of average men wonder why
