Better Leave 1t to the President.

About the time that President Wilson ex-
planning yesterday that action by Congress could
not control the of the American flag by foreign
ships, and that restrictions such practices would
have to through international agreement,
Representative Martin of South Dakota, introduced
bill in the House intended to do the very thing
President Wilson says cannot be done by legisla-
ton Mr.. Martins measure would make it unlawful
for ships of foreign nations to fly the American flag
"or the purpose OF Disgusting the nationality of the
vessel for the purpose of making appear to be

600 and confscation of the ship as penalty. Just
now it would be we'll for ambitious statesmen to
leave such matters to the President and his

A Solid Basis for Optimism.

Optimism has been in the air in the past few
weeks The Pennsylvania financing is a sign of
better times not "n the air" but in substance. In
1908 the Pennsylvania sold $4o,oooooo forty-year
4 per cent bonds secured by this same consoli-
dated mortgage, and shattered the apparently IN
destructible pail that was conhning American
finance. By so doing the Pennsylvania started the
ball of prosperity rolling for three mighty good
years The consolidated IS sold in 1908 were many
times oversubscribed at GO at which price the in
vestor got yield of Approximately 4-2o per cent.
If the present issue of AIS had been sold to give
the same yield the offering price would have
been about roo In 1908 Simultaneous offering
was made in the United States and in England.
At that time the New York Central and the Lake
Shore were financing their needs with short-term
notes. Today the new eohsolidated New York
Central Railroad is planning permanent financing.

Those English newspapers which criticised so
harShy the quality of of the supplies sent to
Europe on the Christmas ship Jason showed poor
taste and little judgment. The Jason carried a
huge cargo, contributed from all parts Of this
country. 1t was Of course, quite impossible for
those who supervised the loading of the ship 20
make careful examination of all the contribu-
tons and it to be expected that some things of
very little vau would be sent by persons who were
led to believe through the stories of suffering and
distress abroad that anything would be welcome.
There is disputing the fact however. that the
lason carried generous cargo OF clothing and
provisions that helped greatly in relieving poverty
and want. Criticism of such OF the gifts that
could not be put to good use might we'll have been

Calling attention to the various estimates of
600 900 900 trade balance in favor OF the United
States in 1915, James A. Farrell said: "The years
OF greatest prosperity in the United States have
been when the balances largely in our favor.
1t is not imprudent to predict that our total farm
values for the current year, for the first time in
the annals OF this any other country, will pass
the ten billion mark. feel safe in saying that
if you will strain point just now and trade a
little more with each other and talk encouraging
ly to conditions, rather than pessimistically the
business of the country will take on a momentum
whi,h will carry into better times, and, what is
more important, create more employment for
labor" Indications point Enthusiastically to profit
able year for American industries. Our enormous
exports now include various factory products re-
quiring the employment of labor, and it is impos-
sible not to see steady decrease in the number
of unemployed Mr.. Farrelps suggestion, if fol-
lowed by employers and business men generally,
should hasten the days of prosperity.

HISTORY BUILDERS.
An Actor Who Was Always Himself.
BY DIR. z. J. EDWARDS.


One morning in 1891, at a time when
Richard Mansfield was making his first
great success as an actor in a play en-
titled Beau BrummeI," I breakfasted
with him and afterward spent the fore
noon in his company at his apartments.
These were the entire top floor of an
apartment house which stood directly op-
posite Delmonico's restaurant in Broad
way which was some years ago torn
down TO make room for a great office
building. Mr.. Mansfield showed me his
jewels. He possessed a wonderful black
diamond which he was fond of holding
I'm his hand and looking at so he might
get various iridescent flashes. His apart
ment was furnished with genuine Chip
pendale furniture and as he pointed out
to me the delicate construction of the
chairs and the sofa and table it seemed
almost as If he were acting in the re-
ception room scene in the play. For
his manner in the play did not differ
at all from his manner as he showed
me the beauties of his furniture.
He led me to a large open fireplace
adorned with heavy andirOns, which he
told me were valuable relics. 1t was a
fireplace for wood. Mansfield was una BILE
to get a GoOd blaze. He luEged in wood
from an anteroom and cast it all 1T
once upon some UlChtIlHS dSut-. l uG
flame would not reach from the ashes
to the wood. Therefore. the great actor
went down upon his knees and began to
blow, making of himself a human bel
lows. Occasionally he looked around at
me over his shoulder to say: BE pa
tient. I'll son get it a-gOing.'
At last the flame mounted from the
ashes to the wood and there came a
glorious blaze. All this was done exactly
a Mansfield would have acted out the
part in case a scene of this kind had
been introduced into play. l therefore
made up my mind that Mr.. Mansfield
was always himself in every part which
he undertook He was charming that
morning. yet he seemed to be acting ali
.rc time. I ventured to ask him if ii
were his theory that an actor should
eliminate himself completely so as alb
solutely to personify the part he was
playing.
THAT is nonsense he replied, because
it is impossible. l don't believe any actor
who succeeded greatly ever forgot that
it was he who was acting. He must be
conscious that he is playing a part in
order to perfect the Illusion
At u o'clock We quilted the apartment
because Mr.. Mansfield had a rehearsal
at the theater. He asked me TO go with
him to the theater and said that II
cared to watch the reheasal he would
he pleased to have me do so. As we
passed along Broadway We met several
women with whom Mr.. Mansfield was
acquainted and l observed that he took
of his hat to salute them with precisely
the same movement of the arm and the
hand which he employed when in the
play he, as Beau Brummell saluted his
women guests. He was simply Richard
Mansfield in the play as he had been
Richard Mansfield in his apartment.

Germany Could Seize Ships.

Albert B. Weimer, who is excellent lawyer,
assures me that no sale or bargain can take away
from the Kaiser his right to seize many of those
interned German ships. 1t doesn't matter who
the owner may be.
The ships were partly paid for by the German
government with the express privilege of seizing
them at any time for its use. No German
company can therefore, give legal title to the
boats. ,,.

a great increase in bonds and notes and a great

The question | can't answer. But the accuracy
of the statements made by the father we can our
selves verify. Nearly all boys love adventure. Do
they love it because they are boys or because they
are encouraged to think it is right for boys to
love it? believe that the love is due, at the start
at any rate to encouragement. If girls received
the same encouragement they would react, most
OF them, in the way. But girls are en-
couraged to develop other kinds OF interest, con-
sidered feminine.
The early impressions OF human beings are
likely to be the deepest. One reason is that they
are so intimately related to the feelings. Just
now there are millions OF children, far from the
war zone who in spirit, actively engaged over
there in Europe. In cities, in villages, in the
country, these little warriors operating with
toy pistols and toy and with soldiers OF
tin and wood, their active little minds doing the
rest. In few years they will forget these games
putting them away with other childish things. But
something OF their enjoyment will remain, some
thing that, through life will influence their feel
ings their attitudes OF mind and their opinions.

war we ought to take into consideration this
force. 1t does its work. remember, its most ef-
fective work, long before the usual school age.
1t cannot be explained by false education save as
all living is education and as children breathe in
the false opinions and ideals that filter through
the atmosphere 1t is a force that the fondest
parent cannot cope with, even the fondest parent
who brings up his children in home atmosphere
saturated with a detestation OF and OF all that
war means Strange that the influence OF the
home atmosphere is the atmosphere OF the world
outside the great boy-world where all living boys
arc as one boy, under the influence OF those mas
culine ideals that develop the hideous ideal OF war
What is it that, the appetite once started,
makes war so interesting to boys: First OF all,
there is action. And action has the charm OF
competition with all its excitement. Something is
happening all the time, leading to the climax OF
victory or defeat, the battlefield strewn with the
fallen, pictured in the imagination wounded or
dying, the successful generals and the successful
soldiers glorying in thier triumph. Everything is
forgotten save the chances OF and the out
come The deaths and the wounds are merely in
cidental even the wounds of the very animals that
children are so interested in and encouraged
to love OF the real meaning OF war the games
teach nothing If they taught anything OF the
real meaning they would be horrible and they
would soon be packed out OF the house or thrown
into the fire
The Washington herald., 1915-02-10

Freely as the Young imagination seems to
play here, it does not, matter OF fact, play
freely at all On the contrary, it runs in con-
vcntional grooves. Vow, games among children
2rc worth while or not worth while, according
as they cultivate the imagination, which offers
our chief means OF escaping from our narrow
little selves The makc-bcevc OF girls with their
dolls develops tho maternal instinct. The make
believe of boys develops an aggressive egotism
that leads to competition OF physical strength,
closely related to the spirit. Strange boys,
on meeting for the first time, arc likely to take
suspicious attitude toward another Often
their real acquaintance is made by means OF
pitched battle for the purpose OF proving SUI
prcmacy.
There arc large numbers OF men who have
never ceased to be boys in their attitude toward
physical force. They love its display and love
what goes with it, the competition. the excitement
and what is sometimes called glory. In the talk
about the war now going about us their voices
may be distinguished, asserting the supremacy OF
the men OF this country or of that in lighting
qualities. Indeed, this of many nations sug-
gests that a large part of the people in the world
have not grown up and that the ideal OF children
still controls the popular imagination.
