ACCORDING The PRESIDENT
PRAISE AND FAIR TREATMENT

We are glad that there is a dispo.
sition on the part OF the press and
the politicians and statesmen of all
parties to give President Wilson fair
treatment and praise whenever they
think that ne deserves it.
TIE demarkation OF party lines is
not 50 strongly drawn as heretofore,
and the policy of patiently waiting
that the president has adopted toward
the Mexican situation seems to have
been accorded to him by the member
ship of all political parties. There
seems to be a determination and gen.
eral desire to give him a fair chance,
and ample time to map out his va
rious policies before entering upon a
criticism of his administration.
When he delivered in person his De-
cember message to the congress of
the United States, Representative
Mann, thee minority leader of til
house, said:
Il like the idea of the president ap-
pearing in person before congress. To-
days message was pithy and to the
point. Everybody must admit that it
was the utterance of a statesman,
whether or not he agrees with it's de-
, tails
NJ. Oscar w. Underwood, the dem
ocratic leader, said:
Il think the presidents message
was the utterance of a broad-minded
tatesman. 1t covered we'll the scope
the necessary legislation to be act
ed upon by congress at this session"
From across the water is heralded
J this praise:
Seldom has a presidential message
contained so many bold and original
IDEAS"
That was the tribute of the London
Daily News and the London Morning
Post, and other English papers were
alike generous of praise to the unique
document.
OF the presidents advocacy of pres
idential primaries, Senator Clapp,
progressive senator from Minnesota,
says:
THE president is advocating ex-
city what / have been advocating for
some time, and what the new pro-
Igressive party stands for. OF course,
he is right. As to the method he sug-
ests for nominating conventions and
platform making, those are details
which will be worked out by expert
nee. The important part is that the
president is right on the fundamental
matter"
Senator Bristow of Kansas says:
The president has practically cop
ed the Kansas state primary law
want to express my appreciation of
the Endorsement given by the presi-
dent to the lawmakers of Kansas In
the last congress, and again in this
congress, / introduced a bill for
presidential primary in the District of
Columbia. But it was reported adj
versely by the senior senator from
Virginia. | made a strenuous effort
to get the bill taken up by the last
congress, but every effort was block
ded by the senator from Virginia, he
being the leader of the opposition.
This year | introduced it again. It
as again referred to the district com
mittee, and there it sleeps to this
day"
The Outlook pays the president
becoming tribute and many southern
newspapers express their extreme de-
light over his utterances, and think
that not since the days of Jefferson
and Jackson has so strong a man oc-
cupied the White House.

that larger appropriation be made

cities having population Of 25,000 or
more. The present limit is $4,000. A

AN ARCTIC EXPERIENCE.
Talking and WrangIing to Ward Off
Brooding and Insanity.

Il had not much opportunity to
speak English during those twenty
eight months when Iversen was my
only companion" says Captain Einar
Mtkkelsen concerning an experience
In the arctic regions. II thought 1t
would help to pass the time If l tried
TO teach him English, but 1t didn't
amount to much. Iyersen wasn't keen
on learning a new language when
there seemed to be very little chance
of our ever wanting any language at
all, except to say our last prayers, and
so the scheme fell through.
when the others were there we
talked about everything through those
dark months-eyerything under the
sun. Silence is golden, perhaps, but
not In the arctic, for to live men left
to their own devices speech, continual
speech, is the only saving grace. ST.
lence must be avoided at any cost, for
silence means brooding Still it is as
well as a rule to avoid controversial
topics-politics. for instance-though in
the last desperate winter, the third of
this trip, | remember we did talk poll
ties, having exhausted pretty nearly
everything else.

We even got as far, / believe. as in
volving Europe in a universal war, and
then it suddenly occurred to us that in
these circumstances no ships might
come next year to the Greenland coast,
and that awful prospect was too hor-
rible to contemplate, so we dropped
politics. We dreamed a good deal and
found some comfort in telling each

shades of meaning. The trouble lies

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
Possibilities of the Newest Depart.
nnsnt of Government.

Possibilities of the Newest Depart
nsnt of Government.
Discussing the possibilities Of the
eew department of labor, the New
York American says:
The new department will divide the
work now done by the department of
commerce and labor. But it should
not and probably will not confne it
self within the lines that have been
marked out In the past.
The creation Of a department Of la
Dor should be taken as public and
official recognition of the fact that the
existing bureau Of labor is wholly in
adequate to represent the public inter
ests for which it Is supposed to stand.
The work of this bureau has been
mainly statistical. Apart from the fact
that the commissioner Of labor has
had, under the Erdman act, useful
function as mediator In industrial dis
putes, the bureau has had no active
agency In improving the status Of la
Dor. 1t has confined itself to the gath
ering of facts and figures.
1t is to be expected that the new de-
partment Of labor, like the department
of agriculture, will have an affirmative
and constructive character. 1t should
be militant and aggressive In advanc-
ing the rights Of workingmen and in
safeguarding the lives OF the men,
women and children who bear the
physical burdens and hardships of In
dustry.
1t may indeed reasonably conceive
OF it's office as general charter to con-
serve and economize all the national
resources, so far as they are embodied
in human flesh and blood.
Under an enlightened-a thoroughly
modern and an-administration
OF such department the class idea
of labor should vanish. Everybody
who contributes anything in brain or
Drawn to the process Of economic pro-
duction should come within the juris-
diction of the department.

The coocertina

The concertina dates from the early
part Of the last century. It's invention
was an early indiscretion of Sir Charles
Wheatstone of telegraph fame, who
took out patent for it in 1929, the
very year in which somebody in Vi
emma invented that similar instrument,
the accordion. The concertina was
popularized by Signor Regondi who
had come before the public as a juve-
nile prodigy with the guitar. At one
time no London concert was really
complete without him and his concer.

Fiqs Too Heavy 70 Lift.

There is a fig tree IN Oceania with
small leaves and flowers. but which
bears fruits which are perhaps the lar.
gest borne by any tree on earth. These
round fruits are sometimes so large
that man cannot lift them. The ker-
nels are eaten roasted like chestnuts,
but they are not easily digestible,
Then there is the Jack of the Indian
archipelago, with huge trunk and
dense foliage on the broad branching
summit, while the fruit measures eight
cen inches by fifteen. On another tree
the leaves are one and a half feet long
and one foot wide.-Philadelphia In
