in American and place Americanism
above every other national or racial
sympathy. The son or daughter who
goes out of the parents home to make
a home of his own or of her own may
and should continue to love the old
home, but the first and mastering duty
is to make the new home and to place
its interests first. The newcomer from
Europe or European possession who
has cast in his lost with the United
States and forswears former citizen
ship or allegiance has put himself un-
der solemn bonds for full loyalty in
life and thought, in speech and deed,
to America and Americanism. He has
assumed legal and moral obligations Of
the utmost weight not to try to swerve
his fellow citizens and the American
government toward favor for any
other country or toward bias against
any. These obligations Of loyalty to
the new home are binding in days Of
peace. They become doubly compelling
in times of war. Any other course
than the strictest loyalty in spirit as
in letter on the part Of European de-
scended Americans toward the United
States reacts to their own disadvan.

Mind.Cure for Cotton.

Can it be that even the cotton slump
was psychological" The fate of the
celebrated Cotton Pool of $135. 200, 900,
subscribed to provide loans on cotton
at six cents a pound, gives color to
such an explanation.
1t develops that the total amount
of loans made from that big fund is
only $4,000. The pool is soon to be
dissolved. But even though the credit
provided was not utilized, 1t served its
purpose.
las long as there was no money to
finance a crop that was as good as
gold" says the New York World,
cotton rotted in the fields and whole
states were threatened with ruin. The
moment it was known that money had
been provided to carry the staple, no.
body wanted the money and everybody
wanted the cotton. Most Of our other
commercial and industrial troubles
might be cured in the same simple
fashion II we had the will and the
nerve"

Loyalty to Amerieanism.

"All Americans" President Wilson
declared to a delegation that had call
ed upon him in the interest of a Eu-
ropean belligerent, fought to think in
American"
There speaks the Americanism of
Washington and Lincoln, the fair
ideal that wishes the welfare of the
world and would keep us friends of
all nations, but allies of none, free
and glad to help each, but firmly de-
termined to stand free from entangling
alliances and to put and keep the in
terests of humanity and America fore
most and in control.
1t is natural that representatives of
European nationalities whose home is
America should espouse the cause of
their old home when war RACES in Eu-
rope. 1t was SO during the Napoleonic
wars, the Austro-Italian wars, the
Crimean war, the Prusso-Danish war.
the Austro-German war, the Franco
Prussian war, the Balkan wars. 1t
viii always be So In this respect the
present war is no exception. but runs
true to form. No American need be
surprised at the outbursts of human
nature now among the immigrants
from Europe and their children.
But these men Of European blood
and sympathies must learn to think

Organizing NeutraIs.

It will be unfortunate if other meas.
ures interfere with the serious consid-
Grafton by congress of Senator La
Follettes peace resolution. This is
not a peace effort of the sort char
acterized as "meddling and unwise."
It seems to come nearer to repre-
senting the intelligent sentiment of
mankind than any action yet taken
officially by any nation. Senator La
Toilette proposes. in brief, that the
President be authorized to seek joint
action by neutral nations looking to
the restoration Of peace, and he sets
forth the principles on which q peace
agreement should be based.
These principles are three in num-
Der: The limitation of ornaments. the
abolition Of the private manufacture
and private sale Of arms and munitions
Of war. and the establishment Of an
international court to which all ma
lions shall bind themselves to submit
their Quarrels.
The belligerents are not yet in a
mood to discuss peace terms, but they
may develop receptive state Of mind
within few months. When they are
ready to make peace. 1t will help i'm.
mensely If the neutral nations are pre-
pared to act as a unit, with a clear
and practical plan. And the United
States, as the most powerful of them,
can properly take the lead in bring
ing the neutral nations together for
such purpose.

High Standards Of Colo

By Miss EFFIE RAITT, Head Of De-

IN the coming of the completed

the home was the manufactur-
ing plant of almost all that it con-
sumed, we have lost a certain cul-
tural background and with it an ap-
probation of labor and a sympathy
for the worker.
A second loss has been that of
standard. Standards of excellence,
pride in achievement, have too Of
ten given place to standards of imi-
tation, pride in possession. We
note lack of competition in house.
hold management in making use of
scientific discoveries for the better
conduct of the home. WE FIND
HERE, HOWEVER, A SORT OF
COMPETITION THAT IS TO BE
DEPLORED. 1T CONSISTS IN
A DESIRE TO Guido OUR
NEIGHBOR IN THE POSSES
SION OF THINGS.
We have lost our appreciation of
good quality. 1t was the pride of
the New England housewife that
her woolens were all wool and dyed
with fast dyes. Her silk gown was
handed down to the next genera
ton. We demand each season
countless varieties in finish and de-
sign and have sacrificed quality.
WE LACK KNOWLEDGE, FORE
SIGHT, INTEREST, BECAUSE IN
OUR IGNORANCE WE HAVE NOT
CONSIDERED THIS, OUR. sUsl.

Mexieo's Right Of Revolution.

What the President said about Mex
leo in his Indianapolis speech was very
much to the point. It is his idea that
the people there are entitled to liberty,
mo matter how long they take in de-
termining It," And he added: "Have
not the European nations taken as long
a. they wanted and spilled as much
blood as they pleased to settle their
own affairs, and shall we deny the
same right to Mexico?"
There has been more petty and un.
reasonable criticism Of Mr.. Wilson's
Mexican policy than Of any other feat
ure Of his administration. This crhi.
cism Is utterly un-American, utterly
out Of touch and sympathy with Amer
lean principles and American tradi.
tions, and is discreditable to those
who permit themselves to indulge in
It. But whether they realize that fact
or not, the President serves notice on
them that they are wasting their time,
and that $50 far as his influence goes
while he is President nobody shall in
terfere" with the Mexican struggle for
liberty. Mr.. Wilson is in perfect &C.
cord with the American spirit on this
subject. When we come under the
sway Of Imperialism and militarism,
we will be interfering all the time
with every other nation that Is weak.
er than we are. But until then Mr..
Wilson's policy will represent the
feeling and the conviction of the vast
majority Of the American people,

Warning Of Washington.

While the reactionary leaders in the
state legislature are passing bills to
put the Independent voter out of bust
ness and build up political machine
to rule the state, it is we'll to read
the prophetic utterance Of George
Washington, when in his farewell ad-
dress he warned his countrymen
against the dangers of party spirit.
LET me warn you in the most SOL
emn manner against the baneful eff.
fects of the spirit Of party generally"
said Washington. This spirit, unfor-
tunately, is inseparable from our ma
ture, having its root in the strongest
passions Of the human mind. It ex-
lists under different shapes in all gov
ernments, more or less stifled. con-
trolled or repressed; but in those of
the popular form it is seen in its great.
est rankness. and is truly their worst
enemy . 1t serves always to dis
tract the public councils and enfeeble
the public administration. It agitates
the community with ill-founded jeal.
ousies and false alarms, kindles the
animosity Of one part against anoth.
or. In governments purely cleo
tive it is spirit not to be encouraged.
From their. natural tendency 1t is GER
tain there will always be enough Of
that spirit for every salutary purpose
and there being constant danger of
excess the effort ought to be, by force
of public opinion, to mitigate and as
suage it."
How true was this warning has been
demonstrated in every state in the
Union as we'll as the federal govern
ment and almost all cities and coun-
ties, yet the fourteenth legislative ses-
sion Of the state Of Washington pro-
poses a law the aim Of which is to
effectually shackle the voters of the
state to the blind following Of party
leaders. The Whitney bills mean a
return to the rejected plan Of conven-
ton rule and the domination Of the
party boss. and the very fact that such
bills are considered at all confirms
the prophecy Of Washington.

A Boom in American Ships.

The most remarkable change since
the time of the Napoleonic wars has
come suddenly in the American ship
building industry. The last day of
December, 1914, closed one of the poor
est years the American shipyards have
had in decade. Today every ship
building concern from Bath in Maine
down to Newport News in Virginia Is
working to it's fullest capacity. One
of the largest companies has orders
sufficient to keep 5000 men employed
full time for from two to three years.
Contracts have been closed FOR forty
eight ocean vessels and negotiations
are pending for sixty more Prices
have been advanced Is per cent, al
though that fact is not significant. A
British company has placed an order
