nounced a universal law of human
progress. In fact. it may be said that
he epitomized the history of civilian

Love Clarifies Mind.
There are two revelant facts out
standing in the development of the
race. One is the awful thraldom in
which fear binds fast the unframed
mind. The other is the remarkable
clarifying and propelling power of love.

tai images from their untutored minds
are still fitting across our own minds.
The echoes of their NEUROLOGICAL faith
are still resounding in our ears. The
childish mind is frequently tortured
by the herititary memories of the
deeds Of Oden and Thor and Balder,
and no one can claim that he has out
grown entirely all Of these childish
fears that form a large part of our
primal inheritance.
But John had discovered some of
the fundamental facts of human exist
ence. He knew something Of what
was in man. He had put Jesus of
Nazareth to what were to him ulti-
mate tests, and his faith taught him
that even deep-seated. race-Old in
stincts and emotions could be expur-
gated by the power Of love. Chris
tianity sees poor human sense in a
losing conflict with it's own phantoms
and 1t holds up its hands in signal of
command and dares to say, Fear not.
And vet men do still fear. Bismarck

An Old Liar Reports the Presi-
dents Address,

Once more that famous old impostor
the Congressional Record gladdens a
nation extensively educated TO seek IN
its columns what did not happen in
House and Senate. Its habit of useless
repetition persists. and It provides for
its readers In number . OF volume -
two versions of President VII sons adj.
dress Accuracy has never hlmperrd
the Imagination of its editors. nor does
II now. On page 10, in the proceedings
Of the Senate, the student learns that:
The address OF the President OF the
United States this day delivered 20 both
houses Of Congress Is as follows:
Annual Address OF the President TO
the Congress.
Gentlemen OF the Congress. the ses-
sion upon which you are now entering will
be the closing session OF the slxty-,hIrd
Congress. "
Those who prefer dlfferent form ~
salutation may turn to page 81. where,
in the House proceedings, they will
learn that the President said:
Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. Vice Presden, and
gentlemen OF the Congress "
How were the Presidents remark )

and how received; The Senate account
on page 10 presents:

erred In the way in which we have stun.ed

But in the House report on page -
this declaration is slightly amended:

BROTHER CLERK AND BROTHER

A CIerg,man's View on Moral standards
In Harwich and Washington.

To THE I1piToR ~ THE SuN--Sir: Your
first editorial artSle OF December on
president Wilson on Mexico is thought
ful but hasty. There IL much which re-
sembes the Harwich incident. with one
exception. That Is history. hence II Is
closed sealed. The Mexican situation is
a living issue
Good will has given a mortal wound to
the Mexican revolution. Can't you In
your Intellectual conceit give the wounded
time TO die a natural death. or would you
do as some armies do. bayonet the
prisoners keep?
How can President Wilson. who sees
the moral side OF an issue explain to a
commercialized material people engrossed
In the self-interest OF n limited, restricted
view the spiritual truth Of which he Is
aware; namely. that the universe is IA
slow effect?
Was II Ruskn who said: who de-
feated Napoleon at Waterloo? 1t was
God The soldiers were mere pawns on
the chessboard."
The artillery OF good Will has opened
fire upon the disorder in Mexico: the
exercise OF loving patience has been sorcly
tried. but still holds on. All the revolu-
tlonists have not been made fully ac-
quainted with the real facts. as they can
not be communicated with at once. The
moral" means Of communication are Ike
the telegraph telephone and railroad
facilities, a little out OF repair.
President Wilson knows the two his
torical incidents the Harwlch affair; also
Welington's victory And because he
knows he an calmly wait for tho truth
to be demonstrated. After the explosions
OF bombs like this editorial article have
done their worst the President and Secre-
tary OF state will say, 81 told you SO"
am stimulated daily by your thought
ful editorial articles. | should like to
know the man who can daily give out 50
much wisdom. This IL the time the

ments that were regarded as Of more
Importance than the army and navy.
Accordingly acquisitions have been cut
to the minimum. Next to the supreme
value Of artillery the war in Europe
has taught the lesson that no cam
paign can be carried on with any hope
Of success without the services Of a
large force Of competent aviators. Sec
rotary GARRISON displays more tact than
energy of expression when he says that
1.-THE present Congress made a good start
toward putting aviation on a substan.
tlal basis" The fact is that while there
has been ample time to equip the army
with machines and slillful aviators the
new intelligence branch Of the service
is far from what It ought TO he. Con.
gress should have made an appropria.
ton ut least four times as large as was
doled out for the purpose. The truth Is
Congress has never taken military avia.
ton seriously.
In recommending that the army he
increased by 1000 officers and 25.OOO
men the Secretary draws attention to
the imperative need OF having a much
larger force to guard the Panama Canal.
and he points ont that after the con.
templated Increase OF i.I16 men Is made
there would remain In the United
States, exclusive OF garrisons in outly-
Ing possessions. only 1850 coast ar.
tillery troops and $4,000 infantry. cav
airy and field artillery. the latter being
not much more than twice the size Of
the police force OF the city Of New
York" Under the circumstances a pro-
posal TO add $4,000 men to the regular
army may err on the side Of moderation.
Unless, as Mr.. GARRISON advises. the
regular army can, through better
scheme of enlistment. he used as
school for an adequate reserve force. II
would be well TO double the increase Of
men he asks for.
