Morals and Sense.

F-om unprejudlced publications
all over the country are heard words
of enthusiastic approval of the
xvi son policy" II is indeed
gratifying to the people who elected
President Wilson and the greater
number of people whose interests he
Is serving to hear this almost uni
sersal commentator. The follow
ing from Harper's Weekly is the
concensus of opinion:
How quickly the spirit of a coun-
try and even of a civilized world
may change! Only few weeks ago,
when Woodrow Wilson declared his
intention of following out simple
altruistic rules in his Mexican pol
icy, Jeer went up from the invest
ing classes in this country and from
several of the nations in Europe. He
stood calmly by his policy, however,
and when little later, before the
Southern Commercial Congress, he
declared that never again would the
United States seek to obtain one ad-
ditional foot of territory by con-
quest, and prophesied the end of the
policy of material interest, there was
scarcely dissenting voice. He
pointed out aeutely why we did not
hear OF concessions to foreign capi.
talists in the United States. They
may be invited to make investments.
but We do not grant them conces-
sionss The work Is ours though
they are welcome to invest in it,"
with sympathy. he pointed out
that In those states which are forced
10 make concessions, foreign inter-
ests are likely to dominate domestic
affairs, which is a condition ALWAYS
dangerous and likely to become intol-
cradle. In saying that the Latin
American states had had harder
bargains driven with them in the
matter of loans than any other peo-
pie In the world, he indicated a
characteristic of his mind--that his
sympathy, general and ethical as ii
Is, is concrete and businesslike. as
when he added: Interest has been
exacted of them that was not exact
ed OF anybody else, because the risk
was said to be greater, and then Sc
curittes were taken that DESTROYED
the risks. An admirable argument
for those who were forcing the
terms!" 1t is exciting to have in the
white house man capable of focus
ing the most progressive moral prin-
ciples of the time and applying them
successfully to the most complicated
situations-fearless of the mere
conventional criticism and confident

LETTER TO HIS WIFE.

Dear wife, cannot tell you how
I've missed you since you went
away; q
The home is very lonesome now,
Where did you put my suit Of
gray.
With none to greet me at the door,
With heavy heart tread the blocks
That homeward lead; ! miss you
more,
But say, where did you hide my
SOY?
How still and dull the house appears
miss the sunlight in your eyes:
The weeks have been away seem
years,
What has become of all my ties.
| hope you will enjoy yourself,
But do not mingle with the lirts;
I've hunted every closet shelf,
Wherever do you keep my shirts?
And now I'VE told you all the
news
There's nothing more for me to
write;
Except where did you hide my
shoes?
They are not anywhere in sight.
