A PERIOD OF REPosE.
Is What the Country Most Needs at
 This Time.

The statesmen who most ably have aided in building up this great nation of SO,000, 900 people have rendered their greatest service in the laborious and exigent decisions arrived at be- hind cabinet doors rather than in the limelight. No great people was ever preached into position of power or prosperity.
 Tn the United States at this time there is need of more statesmanship and less politics. If the President would be satisfied to use his great
 powers for the correction of abuses even as he sees them, without spec
 tacular display of whatever rottenness he seeks to extirpate, would he not
 more surely attain beneficent end
