Would Have Indorsed Wilson. Towall CouYier- Citizen Repl

If MT. Wilson had been directly in issue, we suspect that the voters of Massachusetts would have indorsed him rather handsomely-and yet at the same time would have elected Samuel w. Mccall on the sole ground that he was the abler man to be gov- ernor.
 We are not saying that this pres ages a democratic electoral vote for MT. Wilson in Massachusetts in 1916. All we say is that we firmly believe this state would have thrown its cleo toral vote to MT. Wilson on Tuesday last. Lots of things may happen be- fore next fall; but they simply have not happened yet and 1t is silly to say they have. We are living under what, in normal times, would Sfob- ably be a most unwelcome tariff; but the majority of our people do not realize it because they have not been permitted to feel its effects. To as- sume that they turned in great num- bers to MT. Mccall because of any desire to rebuke the Wilson admins tration for its economic errors is, in our judgment, absurd.
 The only outstanding things thus far-the things the average man cares about-have had to do with this countrys foreign policy, and those things the average man still in- clines heartily to approve. Between Mexico and the hazards of the future, Mr. Wilson may easily forfeit the general regard now felt for him by so many who have otherwise no liking for the usual democratic policies; but tbus far the president is strong enough with his country to carry it with him, because the peculiarly democratic legislation has been en- tirely suspended in effect, while a most menacing and intricate foreign complication has been admirably handled.

WHAT CAN BE DONE,

There are many who believe Great warning issued by the United States anent the violation of legitimate and neutral American trade. This for the reason that Great Britain's very life may depend upon the manner in which she adheres to the blockade she has set up against Germany and Austria Hungary. Very true! Great Britain will exert her every power to get away from the net spread by Sec retary of State Lansing in his con- vincing arguments against the illegal practices of the British. If worse comes to worst, however, the United States has a remedy at hand, and a very good although a somewhat se- were one. Knowing that Great Brit ain and her Allies are absolutely de- pendent upon the munitions of war which are being sent from this coun. try the President could legally order an em bargo upon the shipment of these articles from the United States. Or on the other hand, the people of the United States could easily cut dowr their credit loans to Great Britain and therein would prove another very great em barrassment. There are many ways of imposing retaliation and all within the law. True it i that warning nations are general! averse to accepting recognized prin l ciples of internatio law when by 1 so doing their very existence is al
 stake But that is no reason why
 neutral nations should tolerate the
 consistent violation of these princi
 ples The substitution of force fol
 law may be we'll and good betwee, i belligerents; but when a neutral en 1 ters the controversy law must reig1 : supreme. It is therefore plainl ! Great Britain who must choos
 whether the United States is to adop
 retalitory methods. The warnin has been given. It must not b | in vain .f....

TAKING AS HIS TEXT.

What will William Jennings Bryan, the great Grape Juicer, have to say now that President Wilson has taken to quoting the Bible in defense of preparednesy? The Commoner is wont to refer to the Holy Scriptures for answers to all things. Probably he may find a way to combat these lines which the President admits having very much in mind recently and which he has sent to a friend They are tho first six verses in the thirty-third chapter of the great Prophet Ezekial, and run as follows:--
 "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them: When I bring the sword upon the land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
 "If, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he bloweth a trumpet and warn the people,
 Then whatsoever heareth the sound of the trumpet and taketh not warn ing; if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
 "He heard the sound of the trumpet and took not warning, his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
 But if the watchman see the sword come and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them. he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.'

Picking a Vice President.
(Ansonia Sentinel. )

The man who is to be selected for the republican nomination for the vice presidency, we are told is Secre- tary of Commerce Nagel that was, a pro-German and T bitter critic of the idea that America was made for Americans. He can think of it only as a tail to the high flying German kite; as a convenient instrument for the Germans here to use for the profit of the Germans in Germany.
 That MT. Nagel is likely to be chosen by the republicans in the present delicate state of affairs of the republic is to convict the intellieence of the republican party and to display a supreme contempt for the patriot ism of the people who have to make choice betwAen nominees.
 If MT. Nagel is to be candidate for high office m the gift of the electorate of the United tates he will have to divest the minds of the voters of .ny lingering idea thar he is anything but and American first, last and all of tba

Don't you know Who Dick" Cleveland is? He is the | of Grover Cleveland.
 only yesterday that President Gle, ind and Frances Folsom were married-and Dick wasn't the oldest child. And now the big New Yorker who was the first democrat to take the presidential chair in a generation has long been gathered to his fathers, the bride of the White House is Mrs. Preston of New Jersey, and Dick is varsity haIfback six feet tall.
 And what was this in the papers last Sunday about Theodore Roose- veit, Jr., to the effect tht his new baby was the third? Just a little while ago he was spindling kid who tried to make the freshman foot ball team at Harvard and took a beat-- ing without quitting that made his strenuous father weep for Joy whom he heard about it. A mere child, this Teddy, Jr. What is all this talk about new grandchildren for T. R.

Yet The is 56 years old, looks 46 and feel as men of 36 wish they felt" as Julian Street recently described him. He was q young man of AZ the other day when he be- came president and his children were all youngsters. And now he has five or six grandchildren.
 How times does fly! Yesterday we chummed around with a boy just out of high school; stood up with him at his wedding, maybe. Today ws five inches taller than he is, whom he proudly introduces as his second boy. Only little while ago I've knew a girl in white graduation dress-a pretty little thing-just be- ginning to get her hair up and her dresses down. This week we meet her on the street and she says her daughter writes home that she is en- toying Vassar immensely.
 And the fun of it all and the most surprising thing about it, to most of us who are getting along," is that we are not a bit older than We ever were. But just imagine what they think of the older generationl Can you-who have turned into tho first lap of middle age-remember how old you thought a man of 40 was when you were 21?

We don't wonder that the Trinity men who are fighting the Brickley battle are getting il1-tempered and calling other colleges mean-spirited and hypocritical. But in our opin- ion they are saying a great deal too much. They have got a very simple proposition to maintain, that profes- sionals are eligible to college ath- letic teams if in good standing as students We do not believe they will ever be able to sustain this proposition, but it Is perfectly sim pie, and the assertion of it will help to lead up to revision of the entire code of intercollegiate amateur law, now so contradictory variable and foolish-as Prof Johnson of Trinity has said, "aSinine."
