The cotton problem of the South seems to be

plenty of money available for loans on the CROP and
it would that before long price basis for such

The German Ambassador gives it as his opinion
that Canada, by sending troops to engage in war
against Germany has removed herself from the scope
of the Monroe doctrine and justified an aggressive
campaign by Germany against her. Germany, he
holds, would have the right to invade Canada Count
Benstorf certainly raises an interesting point
If his contention should be conceded it would mean,
of course, that in the event of Brazil for instance,
making on Great Britain the latter nation would
have the right to invade Brazil However, it re-
mains with the United States to interpret and con-
srue the Monroe doctrine and this may safely be left
until confronted by actual conditions 1t was
hardly necessary, in view of conditions in Europe
for the German Ambassador to assure this govern
ment that his country has no present intention of
landing an army in Canada.

Says Curtis Guild, former governor of Massa-

war through the hopeless ncompetency of the State
Department, an incompetency so dreadful even in
matters of diplomatic courtesy that John Bassett
Moore was forced to leave it in despair" The gov
srnor has simply permitted his partisanshp to warp
his Judgment. The State Department has had to
deal with many delicate situations since the European
war started, and so far has managed to avoid any
thing approaching serious controversy with any
foreign power

Two Great Minds Agree.

Like President Wilson. former President Taft
does not favor any present tnkerng of the Federal
Constitution. There are too many cranks abroad in
the land clamoring. for change This is a time to
hold fast that which is good and to eschew un-
tried experiments. 1t is a matter of good omen al
this time that former President Taft has paid a
friendly visit TO his in the White House.
There times when there should be a let-up in
partisanship The whole country should stand

There are situations in life where a plain "No"
is necessary and vigorous No" too. But they are
comparatively rare. Indeed where mo" is used some
other word or expression may be far advisable
and yet produce the required result. / have heard
people say NO" out loud at times when it is gross
rudeness, when an expression of thanks and of re-
gret at being obliged to decline invitation would
be the suitable reply In my acquaintance there
is a man who is always saying No" to friendly
proffers He regards them temptations Turing him
from his work From his point OF view of those who
make the proffers they are temptations at all
They are signs of goodwill
The Washington herald., 1914-10-27

Perhaps it is necessary, in the OF many people
for the insstence to be placed on self-denia But
there is finer stimulus in the truth so clearly demon
strated by Herbert Spencer that every human being
best profits by thinking of himself and consider
ing where his advantage lies, but by giving himself
freely and eagerly outside things. In other words
egotsm to be really successful, must express itself
through altruism One might go through life con-
tnually saying No to temptations without achieving
character worth having, without really contributing
anything to the world. There is something to be
said for the spirit OF moral adventure that goes
resolutely forward taking risks seeking for oppor-
tunities of expression forgetting all about the petty
denals, caring only for the worth while achievements
The Washington herald., 1914-10-27

To do the thing wrongly considered impolite, may
require courage. Similarly, to say No" may be one
of the hardest tasks But it is one must learn to
perform. And merely performing it is not enough
Ii it is done at all it ought to be well done.
There is such thing. however, as taking pleasure
in saying mo" through sheer love Of denial Some
people enjoy denying others. They are like those
who have strong inclination for disagreeing They
would rather say "No" than Yes" The process
gives them the illusion of strength In such cases
the ability to say NO" obviously to be virtue.
Lately have been reading the essays of a moral
ist who dwells on the Importance of saying mo" He
seems to regard it the basis of morality. Here he
agrees with most moralists. He reminds me OF my
earliest lessons in ethics consisting almost wholly Of
prohibitions.
| sometimes wonder if such moralists, in spite of
their being unquestionably the right path, don't
do more harm than good They make morality very
unatractive. And indirectly they make the violation
of the moral law seem alluring.
As a matter of fact, when we look at right and
wrong squarey in the face, we find that the right
course is in the end at any rate. always the more
