Campaign Promises And
Administration Facts

Repeal Of the tolls exemption
law has been urged because Of the
wording of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty; it has been urged because
the President requests repeal, but
not an advocate of repeal has as
serted that such repeal is in the in
terests of the citizens of the United
States or in accord with their IN
structions to the executive and leg
islative branches Of the government
as evinced b ytheir votes at the
election Of 1912.
The present administration, it is
but fair to say, would never have
been given political power if the
candidates Of the party had repud-
lated the tolls exemption plank OF
the Democratic party prior to the
election Of that year.
If the President while candl-
date had called upon Democratic
aspirants for the Senate and House
to repudiate that tolls exemption
plank then, to say to the voters
then, this is not right; it is not
Democratic; it is a violation Of our
treaty with Great Britain; it is a
subsidy, how many Of those candl-
dates for the legislative branches of
the government would have obeyed
his instructions?
If they had followed such in
structions and repudiated the plat
form, how many of them would be
in their seats today?
The President, as a candidate,
knew it's nature then; he knew its
bearing upon our treaty provisions
then; he knew it was not in the ma
ture Of a subsidy then, or else ne
would have repudiated it and de-
nounced it for himself, and called
upon other Democrats to do the
same thing as honest, sincere can
didates desirous of keeping faith
with the voters Of the Union.
The Democratic nominee had
been a student of history from his
childhood; the annals of the world
and Of the nation were his special
field of investigation.
The % men who now hold seats
in the Senate who were members Of
the Baltimore convention have been
political tutors and leaders of men
for years, and they would have the
right to feel insulted if charged
with not being well informed on our
treaties with foreign countries, the
course of our republics legislation,
and the meaning and application of
every plank in the national plat
form which they aided in construc-
ting and voted to approve.
1t was a most amazing spectacle
presented to the citizens of the
United States to have the chief
magistrate call for the repudia-
tion of an important plank III the
platform upon which he was elect
ed scarcely sixteen months before

Instruction Of Public Servants

IF we, the people of the United
States, are really to have a part IN
our government, we must organ
ize." " These were among the lrst
words of Miss Margaret Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson, as
she stepped from the train at Mad
ison. Wis, where she went to at
tend the preliminary conference on
civic secretaryship which began
there on June 18th.
eff we do not want the Office
holders whom we elect to be under
obligations to political machines
not of our making, we must make
our own machine-the machine OF
democracy-and demand their al
legiance to it" she added.
Miss Wilson said:
1--WE elect our representatives
and then let them go their way un-
needed by us, except for irrespon-
sible criticism by individuals here
and there. No wonder that they
do not always know what the peo-
pie want. We must get together to
tell them.
"All of our representatives are
organized into deliberative bodies.
We, whom they represent, ought
also to be organized for deliberatlon
When this happens, and then only,
shall we vote intelligently; and
then also shall we be helpers and
advisers to our representatives.
"In short, the great work that
we American people have before us
as | see it, is the conservation and
organization of the forces Of dem
ocracy. At present these forces
are being dissipated in every dlrec-
ton.
"The school buildings, since
they belong to us all and are nat
ural centers, are obviously the
places in which we can best con-
centrate these forces. Let us all
unite in erecting the standards OF
democracy in the school buildings
and then stand to them.
''Not only should the school
houses be provided for this use
without charge, but the paid sec
retarial service should be furnished
just as this service is furnished
for the meeting Of Aldermen, legls-
lators and other subcommittee OF
the citizens.
1t goes without saying that one
of the most importan, parts OF this
great work Of conserving and Or
ganizing the forces of democracy
is the conservation and direction OF
the energies Of our young people.
For this purpose we must give
them those wholesome pleasures
that we all crave in our youth
otherwise they will dissipate their
energies in unwholesome pleasures)
and well-planned opportunities for
self-expression, especially training
preparatory to good citizenship. :"

WHY WASTE TIME FRETT|NG7
Common Form Of Foolishness Most
Noticeable Among Those Of
Weak Character.

There is one sin which, 1t seems, is
everywhere and by everybody under.
estimated, and too much overlooked
in valuation of character. It Is the
sin of fretting. 1t is common as air,
Is speech-so common, that unless 1t
rises above It's usual tone Of discord'
ant complaining, we do not even oh.
serve 1t. Observe any ordinary meet
ing Of people. and see how many min
utest it will be before somebody makes
more or less complaining statements
Of something or other which probably
everyone in the room, or in the street
1t may be. knew before, and probably
no one can help. Why say anything
about It? 1t Is cold. 1t Is hot, It is
wet, it is dry; somebody has broken
an appointment, ill-cooked q meal:
stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted In discomfort.
There are plenty Of things to think
about. It is simply astonishing how
much annoyance may be found In the
course Of every days living. even Of
the simplest. II one keeps sharp eye
out on that side of things. Even Holy
Writ says we are born to trouble az
sparks fly upward" But even to the
sparks flying upward, In the blacklist
Of smoke, there is blue sky above;
and the less they waste on the road,
the sooner they will reach 1t. Fret
ting Is all time wasted on the road.
