PRESIDENT 81 PRAISES CONGRESS

PRESIDENT PRAISES CONGRESS.
On his return to the White House,
after having witnessed the closing
Of the sixty-third Congress, Presi-
dent, Wilson made the following
statement, - .-~ -.
a great Congress has closed its
session. It's work will prove the
purpose and quality of its statesman
ship more and more the longer it is
tested. %,.@ a1ns;.s .., = r,
Business has now a. time of calm
and thoughtful adjustment before 1t,
disturbed only by the European war
The circumstances created by the
war put the Nation to a special test,
a test of its true character and self
control. Il 5s:~..% H..
The constant thought Of every pa
triotic man should now be for the
country-its peace, its order, its just
and temperate judgment, in the face
Of perplexing difficulties. 4 -
It's dignity and its strength alike
will appear not only in the reviya
Of it's. business, despite abnormal
conditions, but also in its power to
think, to propose and to act with
patience, with disinterested fairness
and without excitement, in a spirit
and friendliness |, and enlightenment
which will firmly establish, its influ-
ence throughout the world. a.

HO FOR THE GARDENS.
(Chicago Recerd-Herald.) IA

| so dead
Who to himself hath never said,
I'D like to plant garden? ?"
| We unhesitatingly say No. The
desire to plant and work a small,
personal garden springs eternal in
the, human breast. During the Win
ter season it fingers in the back
ground, of consciousness and per-
fumes even the steam-heated air
with the gentle thought Of spring.
Early in March, though the land
scape be still robed in snow, 1t In
spires earnest study of seedsmen's
catalogues and their pictures. And
when spring really comes what
words can set for the strength with
which it seizes hold Of the urban
Imagination? ,s.-,, ~.
What the citizen Of Chicago ought
to realize just at this time is that
this is not guilty desire for Things
one should not have but most
valuable human impulse. It is the
one impulse of the season which the
urbanite should follow sublimely
wherever it may lead. Even though
it lead only to small back yard
or to a plot even smaller, 1t is good
impulse and should be trusted:
There's health in it. There s
health because there is physical ex-
ercise in the open air and relaxa-
ton for the mind. There's occupa-
ton for the children in it.
Children like nothing better than
to see things grow. They acquire a
personal interest in the various
plants and in following their career.
and there's money in it, strange as
it may seem.

ever his individual opinions may be-.
he has smothered them in the re-
sponsibilities of his office.
At this period in their first term
most Presidents have been carefully
calculating their chances Of renomi-
nation . and reelection Nobody
knows whether Mr.. Wilson intends
to be candidate for reelection or
not. Not a member of the Cabinet,
not a member of Congress, can say
OF his own knowledge that the Pres
ldent desires a reelection or that he
would not refuse a denomination.
What all of them know is that the
President would not stoop from prin-
c1ple to win either a denomination or
a reelection. r
That is where his great strength
lies. That is where his great use
fulness lies in this crisis. It is easy
to rattle the sabre It is easy to
make the welkin ring. It is easy to
be spectacular and sensational and
theatrical It is easy to be dema-
gogue. 1t is easy to juggle with the
fate of Nation when no man can
foresee what the next day will bring
forth. But it is not easy to be calm
and restrained and judicial. It is
not easy to face every responsibility
without prejudice and without pas
sion. 1t is not easy to hew straight
to the line of first principles, re-
CARELESS of applause or >censure or
praise or denunciation. It is not
easy to be sane when the world has
given itself over to madness.
The enormous good fortune of the
people of the United States in the
storm and stress of these coming
years is that their Chief Magistrate
is sane-the sanest mind to-day that
lis intrusted with the responsibilities
of government anywhere in civiliza-
ltion

NO sHiP For FEN DAYS,

Not single ship will leave New
York Il for Great Britain until March
II; but what of that? When the
Senate Republicans, assisted by sew
en- renegade Democrats, smothered
the Administration S Ship Purchase
Bill that is the sort Of thing they
voted for. That is the sort Of thing
that Wall street and all its allies
were clamoring for. That is the
situation that best serves the ends
of the foreign shipping interests
which have the American exporters
at their mercy. All the opponents
of the Presidents policy insisted
that there was no emergency; that
private interests were abundantly
able to care for the American export
trade, and that the Government must
do nothing to break the grip OF the
shipping monopoly The country
was saved from socialism" and
American exporters may take their
market as best they cam =.
If New York business men are
dissatisfied because they cannot send
their products abroad let them con-
suit Senator O'Gorman. Nobody
had more to do with the killing OF
the bill by which 4. the President
hoped to serve American commerce,
and now that trade with Great Brit
ain has been held up for the long
est period in a generation the Sem
ator is the man to whom exporters
should take their troubles. He can
doubtless tell them what to do. Pos
sibly he can improvise ships for
them. H. - :. -,
The business interests of the
country allowed the subsidy crowd
and the foreign shipping monopoly
to line them up against the Pres1.
dents measure. Now they must
take their medicine. They wanted to
be at the mercy of private shipping
interests operating under alien flags,
and there they are. As they watch
the freight pile up on the piers and
in the railroad yards they must be
highly pleased with their successful
campaign to victimize themselves.

TWO YEARS OF WILSON.

On the fiftieth anniversary Of
Lincoln's second inaugural, Wood
row Wilson completes half his Pres1-
dental term.
These two years Of the. Wilson Ad-
ministration have helped to make
more history than any other two
wears since Lincoln. The coming
two years of the Wilson Administra-
ton must inevitably be the most
momentous period that this country
has known since the Civil War.
II is a fact of enormous import
ance that this crisis finds in the
White House a President who IS
completely master Of himself. Be-
ing master Of himself, he is master
of his party and Of his Administra-
ton. u,,oo
There is no kitchen cabinet. Ihere
are no back-stairs advisers. fhere
are no secret influences that pun ano
SWAY the policies Of the Executive.
No underground wires run from the
White House into Wall Street or IN
to the headquarters Of any poiltlcal
committee. Men may agree with MT
Wilson or disagree with him; they
nav like him or they may dislike
him; but everybody knows that ne
and he alone is President. every
hody knows that during the remain.

she was supposed to be the mother Of
three bouncing babies: forgot that she
was not Trixy Gale. the famous bur-
lesque queen. who was being pur.
sued for abducting and marrying a
young millionaire minor; forgot that
she had been in railroad wreck: for.
got that she shouldn't let fat old

got that she had locked her dear, de-
voted, and extremely jealous hubby
in bathroom a hundred miles away:

Judy forgot, when the real question
before the house it.: What didn't
Judy forget?"
Judy was q comic opera queen She
had all the Johns from Kennebunk-
port, Me. to Coronado Beach. Cal, ly-
ing awake nights figuring how much
money they could spend on her with
out breaking the bank. Judy spent
her life lodging the boys and usually
came out over the stage apron In or.
der to avoid the local spendthrifts
who gathered about the stage en-
trance to strew flowers before her az
she walked from said stage door to
her limousine. oh, she was a cuckoo,
was Judy.
One evening, however, Judy sud
denly discovered during her accus-
toned performance that a man in q
box was straining every effort to
catch her eye and several times was
upon the point Of falling out of the
box In his efforts to follow her move
ments. This upset Judy very much,
since she had never before allowed
herself to become annoyed. She had
never before seen such bold young
man.
