JACOB RIIs, OPTIMIsT.

yHSUD MILO, VI lIWICt.
In recent address before the Ma
tional Educational association, Jacob
Riis, the friend of poor humanity in
the slums and everywhere else, gave
the newspaper makers the following
patriotic counsel:
Travelling thru the land from sea
to sea, as | have been these last
three years, l am impressed with
our Astounding prosperity even less
than with the fact, which / have
observed with the interest of a life
long newspaper man, that on the
whole the editorial desk averages
we'll up to the quality of citizenship,
is often conspicuously above it, and
well-ftted to lead. And this is as it
should be. For without it our re-
public would not be worth the price
of days doings among the bank
ers of Wall street. A hundred years
of political liberty have left US
struggling yet with the A-B-C of
human freedom.
Until the conviction has been
brought home to the public con-
sciousness and has taken root there,
that the Republic is no finished
thing which our fathers turned out
and handed down to US in a glass
case, to be kept sacredly labeled
Glands off, for all time; but rather
that each generation must build it's
own story upon the foundation they
laid. must brace here, and prop
there, and sometimes remodel
wing that no longer serves it's pur-
pose-that in fact that we are the
Republic, that it lives in us, not in
the public buildings or government
offices at Washington until then the
real genius of freedom has not TAX
en- up its permanent abode among
US. Yet, let no one be discouraged;
for when any living thing ceases to
grow, it begins to die.
True, there are things enough,
when one looks at the inequalities
of life and opportunity that do exist;
at the failure to realize the ideal of
social democracy where political
democracy has been so long pro-
claimed; at the utter lack of under
standing involved in the sale and
purchase of votes that goes on in
town and country, to make the pessi-
mist weep. But, after all, it is
the man of hope who makes the
world go round. He is the man who
does things, while the other just
weeps. And that he is doing things,
wehave abundant evidence every day.
If we are struggling with the alpha
bet of freedom yet, we are at least
struggling harder than ever, the
best proof in the world that we are
bound to win. We are fighting for
something definite; the other walls
over nothing. One of your fratern-
ity put it in this wise, while ago:
'Twixt optimist and pessimist,
Il The difference is droll.
The optimist the dougnnut sees
The pessimist the hole"
Keep your eye on the doughnut,
and let there be no pessimist in an
editorial chair If | ever find one
shall recommend Roosevelt's pre-
scription for the useless student:
The man ought to have his head
knocked off,
What else would you do with the
fellow who gives up in this day of
ours. with the forces stirring all
about, out of which is yet to be
fashioned clearer and cleaner con-
ception of mans duty and of his
. relation of his neighbor than any

TOO EARLY TO INTERFERE.
State Department Watching War in

Of a deep-Seated suspicion by eaGn of the
republics of the motives of another that
does not tend to make easier the task
set for the United States and Mexico of
Eeconciling Nicaragua and Honduras. In
fact. the officials have almost reached
the conclusion that not until the QUAR-

hloodshed has sobered the infiamed par
ties to the strife will il be possible for
successful Intervention. The last state

feet that Salvador has beer aiding Hon

the fact that these two countries have
generally acted together wherever inter-
national relations are concerned
