MORAL

A member of the British parliament is credited with having said that
"Whson introduced morality in craftsmanship" That is a nm comph-
ment to III president and it has the virtue OF much truth. Morality in
European craftsmanship has not been conspicuous in the past and the
logical result of its omission is the present devastating war.
Morality in craftsmanship, as exemphfed by President Wilson in
his handling of the Mexican situation, elected many a neer and jeer
both at home and abroad at the outset, but nobody sneers a. 1t o on
either side OF the Atlantic. Morality in craftsmanship has made good,
and as Josh Billings remarked, it's n o use to "argufy against a success
1t has placed the United States upon a high pinnacle among the nations
of the earth. The sneers and jeers OF the old world have given way to
undisguised admiration and enhanced respect The suffering masses OF
Europe would gladly trade the corrupt diplomacy of their kings and m
perors for a bit OF honest straightforward American craftsmanship.
"The president believes that when a mother has raised a boy and
poured III on him her affections he is worth something Tor than to be
stood up and shot at by another mothers SON" In these simple bur
forceful words William Jennings Bryan, secretary OF state, recently lauG-
ed the peace policy of his chief He couldn't have used any language,
however ornate, that would have better brought home to the fathers
and mothers of this land the debt of gratitude they W Providence for
their possession OF a chief executive devoid of martial ambition ad
swashbucking propepsities. Every mother and father in the United
States can est secure in the thought that her o his boy will not he
called upon to- lay down his life to further schemes of selfish conquest
o satisfy a war lords blood lust while Woodrow Wilson is president
The Fanon sugar refinery reports the sale of a big lot of that left
over sugar at a price per pound greater than they have yer before re-
ceHed. The demand for sugar grows daily and at prices unheard of in
years, yet the Fallon refinery refuses to put its wheels in motion. 1t
persiaenty sticks to its determination made a year ago Undoubtedly at
Wilson tariff. But it couldn't resist the temptation to let a
little OF the sugar 20 when the price went up. There was al opportu-
nifty to sugar the strong boxes of the owners.
If you had waited and voted for sixteen years to place a Democratic
president in the White House and then for the nearly succeeding two
years had seen the policies you 50 persstenly advocated put into opera
ton with the promise OF more to come, how al you consistently vote
at the coming election for any senatorial OF congressional candidate
other than he who will support President Wilson? A vote the other
way tends just so much, however little, to cripple the work the pres
ident has inauguraed and is endeavoring to carry out.
II one submarine, singehanded, as the German admiralty declares
is entitled to the credit of having sunk the three British cruisers, it is
one of the most remarkable feats ever achieved. The theories of naval
experts will require severe readJustment when nj tiny boat with a crew
of not over thrty-6ve, can suddenly overwhelm three huge cruisers of
10000 tons each and destroy ships that cost from $12OOOOOO to $4,000
600 and carried crews numbering owe 200.
Grant Miller, who is on the ticket as a candidate for United States
senator, said in a signed statement a couple of weeks ago that he was
responsible o none for his actions ave the Socialist party. If that's the
as how an he ask support from members of other parties? They owe
him nothing when he repudiates responsibility to them.
