Can Never Go Back"

Hope is SO ineradicable that there ar,
some thousands of reactionary Americans
at this moment believing there will be a
reaction from what they term the present
wave of radicalism' and that the people
will return to that lethargic condition
which they term sanity"
In the nation there are financial barons
of the old tory school who believe the
constitution of peace which Woodrow
Wilson is causing to be written will be
blotted out. They want to return to old
things. They believe the people will grow
SO tired of the new order that they will
demand the old lays of the plunderbund.
1t is as true of America. of Ohio, of
every state in the union, as it is of Eng
land. Things can never go back 1t
is a worldwide movement. The masses
demand a greater degree of equality.
They demand reforms which a few years
ago most people thought impossible. To-
day they are seen to be only the first
principles of business and political hon
esty. Tomorrow they will become institu-
lions of society.
The human race does not backslide. 1t
always climbs upward. though it is terri
bly, handicapped by conservatism and g
and power and wealth. Those fossilized
member of society who are expecting q
return to the old order may continue to
indulge their selfish hope. but it never will
be realized.

Are They COMING Back?
From the Chicago I

Golfers Weekly quotes Congressman
Augustus p. Gardner of Massachusetts:
''Two-thirds of our trouble lies in the
fact that the people think that the ren,h-
lican party is in bad hands. Every time
we renominate n discredited leader we
postpone the day of recovery"
Golfers comment is:
LAS, for example, the denomination of
Penrose in Pennsylvania, Foraker in
Ohio, the continued dominance of Barnes
i'm New York, and the hailing of lin
Watson of Indiana as a candidate for vice
president by a republican gathering in
Missouri. The republican party is in bad
hands, and there is no way of changine
It,"
On the last point there can be two opfn-
ions. There. is :. way of changing it, al
though Golfers, in referring to the fact
the republican national committee ia fhe
product of the INSCRIPTIONS 1912 conyen-
ton and that this national committee will
retain control until after the next CONVEX
ton. has a warrant for saying that fnr
the time being there is no way of ia kim
party management out of bad hands and
putting 1t into good hands. ~
Undoubtedly the once r~epudiated chiefe
of the republican party have new conc
dence and are animated by revived hone

Gutter Babies.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM tne CnlcdSO IrlDune
The ''gutter babies of London are be-
coming immune to ordinary diseases, ac-
cording to the annual health report of the
worlds greatest city. Condition that
would be death to other children, says the
report, leave the infants in London's
worst slums unaffected. They not only
manage to exist, they even thrive under
these conditions.
This immunity of the gutter babies does
not cheer the British health authorities,
however, for it does not mitigate the prob
lens of the slums in the least. The baby
who from the moment it was born has
been exposed to circumstances that
tougher it. that give it greater resisting
power to disease caused by filth and in
sanitary living. is the sort of a baby that
is likely to be tough mentally and morally
as we'll.
Progress and Civilization have been in
the direction away from the toughening
process. We are today not trying to hard
en- people to physical disease. We are not
trying to accustom them to typhoid, for
Instance We realize that progress lies
in the direction of wedding out typhoid
and of preventing disease. The immunity
of slum babies in london and in all other
cities where slums are prevalent may be
looked upon as one of the freaks of ma
ture, but it must have no effect whatever
on society's attitude towards slums. The
war against unhealthy congestion and
filthy m in modern cities must go
on undated. Immunity towards Stun
conditions no civilized people can afford to
cultivate.

ployment, and who. whatever else they
might do. did not interrupt the orderly
processes of the nations affairs.
Generally after a tariff revision such a
reaction is expected. and the old line re-
publican leaders undoubtedly look for one
TINS year. There is unquestionably a dan
ger that for the time being there will be a
loss OF ground in a number of highly i'm
portant political movements which have
little or nothing to do with the RESPONSE
blllty of the democratic administration.
There is the danger that the reaction
Will be unreasoning. The mood of the
country may be one of imnatience. if not
Intolerance. If this be so, the old discred-
tied leaders of the republican party may
flnd sympathy and support in their at
tempts to regain or retain their leader
ship.
Cannon, Pcnrose. Mckinley, Barnes.
etc, etc. are confident that this evulsion
will be to their benefit. and they are as
tute observers. 1t therefore becomes more
important than ever that there hould be
renewed opposition to them and their
ideas.
Unless the voters be blinded by their
own impatience they will not permit their
distrust and ~disapproval of the democratic
administration to be turned to the adj
vantage of the men who made the estab-
of a democratic administration
inevitable by the disregard of the ex-
pressed will of the republican voters.
The republican leaders in the 1912 ma
tional convention made a democratic adj
ministration before the national conven-
ton had adjourned. Unless voters are
these men to power or retain them In

W. Shy on Vaudeville Patriotism.
Fitch. in Golfers


The Star Spangled Banner is our ma
tional anthem and patriots are expected to
rise reverently while 1t is being executed
without benefit Of clergy.
Nothing is more impressive than to see
a vast audience of American men and
women leaping to their feet when the first
strains of this anthem crash out in the
midst of some great public meeting. And
nothing is more destructive to gravity
than to watch a small oppressed poodle
dog walking a tight wire in a vaudeville
show with the United States flag hanging
from his mouth, while the orchestra plays
The Star Spangled Banner and some
stout. earnest woman, standing in solitary
grandeur in the middle of the house, giares
at the sodden mass of humanity which
declines to do reverence to the anthem or
the flag or the dog. all three being in
separately merged at the time.
When we go to a vaudeville theater, a
circus. a comic opera. or a trained AMI
NAL show. we check our patriotism at the
door with our overcoat and decline to
burst into flame when some ballet dancer
moves down to the front of the stage on
her toes to the tune Of the national an
them and beseeches us to rise and revere
our country for her sweet sake. II en-
couraged in this sort Of business some
clog dancer may yet do the ~doxology in
ragtime while the audience stands With
bowed and contrite heads.
