A Case of ale Knew How"

If ever strong man was needed at the head Of
the Treasury department it was in the first few
months of the Wilson administration. With
national power passing into new hans the spe-
c1al interests in opposition would have hailed a
panic as giving proof to the people that Democ-
racy was dangerous, that II ought not to have
power.
or course disclaimers arose from Wall Street
and the interests and the financial magnates that
they thought Of no such thng, but all these "in
jured innocence" expressions came after Secre
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo showed that he had
grip on the situation, and that all the resources
of the government would be used to defeat any
exploitation of the people by the money inter-
ests And those interests Immediately began to
declare III amt So to any purpose to bring
on panic.
Secretary McAdoo was the medicine which
made the change, and Harpers eckly well says;
I."If Secretary McAdoo had not at the right ma
ment decided to the powers OF his office in
behalf OF the business interests of the country.
we might easily have had panic. The banks
thought at first that they could not furnish what
money sseeded, but as soon as Mr.. McAdoo
announced that II the banks did not furnish II he
would furnish 1t, the banks suddenly decided

SUNDAY
FAITH IN WILSON.

The editor OF the London Stdtist, now In the
United States, puts to shame many of those
Americans who fail absolutely to the pur-
pose and intention of President Wilson in his
Mexican policy. These critics OF Mr.. Wilson
complain that he has no policy at all. because
he does not back up his demands for Huerta's
resignation with force of arms. blind TO the
fact that intervention would undo all that has
been accomplished by him In Mexico and in
South America and prevent the accomplishment
OF the very ends In view
THIS Englishman can see that President VIII
son is speaking not only to Mexico but to all
South and Central America when he speaks Of
morality and popular government and consti-
tutional restrictions and OF law and order. He
can see that Mr.. Wilson is attempting, and is
succeeding. to impress upon the people of
Mexico and all the nations of this hemisphere
that the United States is their friend; that this
nation wants none Of their territory or wealth;
that 1t does not recognize any government savo
that based on law and order and that in re-
fusiug to recognize a government born In murder
it IS taking stand with the people of that nation.
These things many Americans do not seem
TO be able 10 understand They want order
brought about by force now, knowing little and
caring less of the disorders that must ensue in
the future President Wilson IS building for
the times to come

titled Men in Overalls"
What the World says about Nanderlip and
about Melen we do not entirely ndorse, because,
from all we know of the former. his position is
the result Of peculiar ability coupled with lucky
chance that is the formula of success always and
everywhere From what we know of the latter.
anything he may say Is subject to the suspicion
always attaching to one who deprecates the roost
whercfrom he has been ousted.
The underlying thought. however. is sound TO
the core; there Is special dignity, on the one
Ia nd In working In overalls, no matter what the
labor unions may think about it. there is
special virtue In having gotten out of overalls
in the concrete, If one has to get into them in
the abstract,
There have been men who never got ont of
overalls who have made such eternity as human
beings can compass their debtor.
There have been shepherd kings who have
worked from overalls to thrones and left their
names in history coupled with the synonym of a
scourge.
The carpenter Of Nazareth left a poem for the
ages to contemplate, when, age succeeding age,
the gold Of Mammon proves dross OF hearts de

Tammerfane leaves fantastic memory chiefly
valuable as 1t causes us to remember that the
best Of us is, at heart and under the skin, by a
large per cent, the brute.
Roth Of these came out Of overalls
What the World says about the overalls which

and necdful.
1t ia not a question of why the oveIvtlls are
worn or in what service The real inquiry Isl in
the manner of deliverance from them. and Its
results AS price for certain sort Of virtue.
overalls are a decoration; the decoration Of
another kind Of highly paid service they a
stigma None Of us can too often remember to
quote the words OF Bobby Burns this test Of
anna rel and OF ownership:
ITO catch Dame Fortunes golden smile,
Assdous wait upon her.
And gather gear by ev'ry VILE
That's justify'd by honor:
Not for to hide it in hedge,
Nor for a train -attendant
But for the glorious privilege
OF being independent.
Better to fight for the privilege In overalls
than to graduate from overalls into lvery.--Co-

Loyd-George has Informed the sufrragettes
Of England that there is no chance of the passage
at this session of parliament OF the bill con-
lerring the franchise upon women and more
iawlessness will probably follow, thus making
the chances less than before. The persstency
with which the militants Of England take the
very course calculated to defeat woman suffrage
Is suspicious. Those who lack confidence in the
sincerity Of the arsontes and, or rather, of their
leaders, are furnished daily with corroborative
testimony in the form of every known crime short
OF murder 1t is pity that the constitutional
sunragists of England cannot rid their cause OF
the incubus of Pankhurstism.

Mars and VEINS.

Astronomer Maunder, in recent book, takes
issue with Professor Lowell upon the question OF
the habitatbllty of Mars He says Mars Is
frozen planet. the water is all ice and the air
too thin for human breathing. He rdicules
Iowelrs ideas Of Marian canals.
Professor Maunder says there is little II any
possibility Of life any of the planets except
Venus There the conditions seem quite equal
to the maintenance Of human life. There Is one
thing yet to determine, and that is its rotation
period. If that is very much like the earth s.
it is pretty certain Venus is inhabited, or at least
ii is habtahe rapidly becoming So
The conditions necessary to support human
life can exist upon planet only at time
The very logic of evolution suggests this idea
The habitable planet began with Neptune, and
is proceeding inwardly. The earth is now that
habltable planet. Mars was the one JUS before
but that Is beginning to feel the chill OF disso-
luton. 1t is a dead world. Venus Is getting
ready to succeed the earth and after while
when our planet becomes frozen and sterile,
Venus viii be the garden spot of the solar
fsystem.--Ohio State Journal.
