Not A War of Scandals.

If, as seems probable, this
trouble with Mexico becomes a
war in earnest, there is good
reasOnt0 believe that we shall see
it fought in clean-handed, bust.
ness like way and not under the
conditions which marked our
struggle with Spain. Sixteen
years is not too long a time for
us to remember the scandals
which marked that affair.
The lesson of the Spaish.
American war has been we'll
learned. The Mexican war will
not be a war of business and
political wire-pulling.
The portfolio of state is not in
the hands of and aged and de-
crepit statesman thrust out of
the Senate to make way for a
political boss. There is no AL
ger in the cabinet, appointed as
a reward for his financial contri.
buttons, and we take it there will
be no embalmed beef revelations
to shock the American public.
We are going into this war
under the leadership of men
trained for the service. Political
pull is not to give US a Shafter
to head our army of occupation.
The men who will command our
troops are the men who are
justly entitled to command.
1t there are any cliques in the
navy the public has thus far had
no mixing of them. From a
handful of ships and men in
1898 we have progressed to a
wonderful fleet of great engines

high officers, and they have just
given a fine example of what is
in them by the promptness with
which they have, moved and the
thoroughness with which they
have carried out the Presidents
orders at Vera Cruz. 1t is a
fair assumption, therefore, that
this is to be a war without a
Sampson.SchIey controversy.

Stand By.

Stand BY.
We cannot really do anything
for anybody, even for those we
love most, except to Stand By
Your child has to make his
own mistakes, accumulate his
own working store of experience,
glimpse his own visions, fight
his own inner battles, and find
his own God. We may yearn to
do these things for him. We
may break our hearts trying.
We cannot do it. But we can
Stand By.
That is, we can arrange cir
cumstances, provide advantages,
warn him of dangers, show him
the right goals. love him, and be
a friend to him, but in the arena
where manhood is made he will
have to do his own wrestling.
Your final good to your friends
consists only in this-that you
Stand By. tits not money, nor
food, nor medicine, they want,
in the deep souls of them, but to
feel your presence.
In it's grip with the inner
Philistines of life, in the war
with the Invites, the Jebusites,
and the sPerizzites, the soul is
always alone, must keep its own
watch, strike it's own blows, see
it's own visions. All we can do
is to signal them, from our own
watchtower, the message, I'm
with you"
This comes poignantly home to
us when one we lovei is i'll. We
can watch and we can pray, we
can hold her hand and stroke her
brow, while the physician fights
the vicious microbes. But tho
We may long to throttle the fever
with angry hands, to reach in
and cleanse the clogged veins, or
set the jangling nerves in tune,
We cannot-We can only Stand
By.
And yet how good it is to
know you are Standing By! Al
ter all, my friend, it is what I
most ask Of you.
This world" says Goethe, lis
no waste and empty, when we
figure but towns and cities and |
rivers in it, but to know that |
some one is living on with US,
ever in silence; this makes our
earthly bail peopled garden.
When the little boy is afraid of |
the dark in his bedroom you can
go in and hold his hand; itseems
nothing; it is the richest gift
you can make him, the gift OF |
yourself.
And when in maturer days we
are plunged into the hell of fail.
ure, God bless the friend who |
just-Stands By! |
The glory of a woman is that |
when up come the wolves of |
poverty, SANDER or danger, and
our souls melt in fear, she smil-
ing and unafraid-Stands By.
