WatchfuI Waiting

These two words, taken from President
Wilson's own definition OF his Mexican
policy, furnished the text for inuumerable
attacks, sometimes angry, sometimes
witty and generally reckless, by those
advocates Of edo something" policy
who are not accustomed TO count the
cost--to others.
This generation OF Americans has nc
personal knowledge of the meaning o.
war on large scale. The impressiv,
spectacle OF Europe in combat has hat
an effect on the public mind that il never
could have gained from histories or from
tales Of grandfathers.
The President, unmoved by clamor
has adhered to "watchful waiting" So
far we have avoided war. II may b,
that "watchful waiting" will see the
possibility Of it between Mexico and
ourselves finally pass At least II is a
policy that will not precipitate that
great disaster. New York Herald (lnd.

Calamity Profits

With the wiles OF the calamity "howlern
we have long been familiar. There are
several classes OF him and the stock in
trade of all In 10 make capital out of real
or imaginary calamity. We have known
the fellow who has paved his way 20
public Office 10y blaming hard times on
the other chap. We are face To- face
with the food seller who has unduly adj
vanced his prices because there Ii war in
Europe and legitimate demand has nd
vanced the price of some commodities.
We are hlso in touch with those who are
making political capital out of the pre-
tense OF saving the dear public from the
sharks. Calamity howlers, all of them.
and they are the sort who give the dear
public the worst OF the deal nearly every
time. All over the country there are
men who are getting on the band wagon
oil the procession denouncing those who
have advanced the prices OF necessities.
They should be stopped long enough to
make them produce price lists of every
commodity for this year and the cores
ponding date last year. If the case ia
good and they have the evidence To- con-
wet some body, then let the band play.
The higher prices are bad enough with
out permitting rake-olf TO the saviors
OF the aforesaid dear public. Pittsburgh

ON the suffrage question at the November

tures to their initiative petitions, and
came into the campaign line also. DIR.
Shaw's time will be divided between
them rs fairly ma possible.

straight back TO arduous work i'm her
office followed 10y the national suffrage
conventions.

Miss Katherine Blake, principal of one
OF the New York City schools, has been
one OF the most popular campaigners in
Montana. She gave up most of her
vacation to do it, and Travelled 1000
miles, visited twenty towns, organized
clubs in eight of them, made forty
speeches with the thermometer up toward
100 some OF the time. AZ the end of the

the gateway OF Glacier Park and slept
eighteen hours out of the twenty. four,
and said she was beginning to understand
the feeling of u pioneer.
The collections she took at her street
meetings balanced the expense account
