NATIONAL DEFENSE.

The severity, even wit hthe con
tempt. with which President Wilson
has rejected Republican appeals for
preparedness for national defense IN
the past merely serves to emphasize
the extent to which he Is now stulti-
flying himself in urging an extensive
military program, and the seriousness
OF the panic which has struck him
and his advisers When last session
Republicans sought to lay the founda-
ton for intelligent increase Of the
military establishment by the creation
of q bipartisan commission which
should review the work that had been
done and point out the mistakes Of
the past that they might be avoided
in the future, Mr.. Wilson undertook
10 ridicule them out OF court, In
dulged In high-sounding rhetorical
periods and secretly appealed to the
southern Democrats TO defeat the
Gardner resolution because 1t would
doubtless result In exposing the ex-
travagant, not TO say criminal, folly
Of continuing certain southern navy
yards. But Mr.. Wilson is disturbed
now. He knows that as a result OF

be necessary to issue bonds-that is,
for Uncle Sam to borrow moHey-and
he believes that he can so effectively
appeal to the patriotism Of the people
on the score of national defense that
they will approve a bond issue for
that purpose, and will overlook the
fact that a large part of the proceeds
is used to make good the Democratic
deficit, Speaker Clark has supinely
accepted his instructions and is going
about the country telling the people
that the deficit is due to the war,
and concealing the fact that the Inn
ports have increased steadily during
this entire administration. But Rep
r~osentative Kitchin, the Democratic
leader Of the next house, has refused
to be coerced and that he
VII be true to Democratic principles
and oppose any adequate expenditures
for national defense.

ADMINISTRATION SHIFTS.

President Wilson and his cabinet
are much disturbed over the political
outlook, as is clearly proved by their
almost complete abandonment Of
practically all the policies of their
rarty. The tariff law, which the ad-
II i~nistratton itself wrote and declared
10 be just what the country needed, is
TO be changed. Mr.. Wilson is eating
lis own words Of only a year ago and
Urging a program Of national defense
as extensive as was ever urged by the
Republicans. 'Watchful waiting" IN
Mexico has been abandoned and re
placed by O determined effort to set
Up Carranza as president OF Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson has swallowed his clearly

THE AVIATOR.

on, clambor up high to the vault
Far above ali the muck of the
trenches,
Far above the quick ire Of the
maXim-gun fire,
Far above all the reek and the
stenches.
There's a puff from below in the
lines of the foe,
Where a gunner is seeking to harm
me.
But l drop and l rise from his bombs
in the skies
And l still am the Eye Of the
Army!
For it's my job to learn every sally
and turn
OF the enemy right when they
make It.
I'm a sentry whose care is a post
high in air
And it isn't for me TO forsake It.
So | duck and dip and / dodge and
| skip
From the aeroplane shells that
would MAJ me.
While the gunner with zest does his
Sunday school best
TO put out the Eye of the Army.
Now there isn't much chance for the
ancient romance
In these days of mechanical slaugh-
ter,
When we shed human blood in a hor-
rible flood
On the face of the land and the
water.
But I am not bound by the soldiers
dun round,
For in wars mighty drama they
star me.
And it's stil a great game fun Of
glory and fame
To the venturesome Eye Of the
Army!

BLOW TO WILSON.

Perhaps the most significant-aud
TO the Democrats the most surprising
result Of the ]byelections was the
demonstration that Woodrow Wise ]
not only is not stronger than his
party, but ls even weaker. In the
presidents own state, New Jersey,
only seven Of the twenty-one counties
went Democratic. In Massachusetts,,
whore the popular slogan Of the Dem
ocrats was "A vote for Walsh is a vote
for wilson, former Representative
Samuel Mccall defeated Walsh by a
considerable majority. In the twenty
third New York congressional district
the chief Weapon Of Ellsworth J.
Healy, the Democratic candidate, waA
an enthusiastically eulogistic letter
from President Wilson, which Mr..
Hcaly read from the stump on all 90
caslons. w. S. BInnett. tho Republi-
can nominee, was elected by a hand
some majority. The president AMI
his son-in-law, Secretary McAdoo, had
made a strenuous effort to influence
the elections in New York state, but
the Republican gains upstate clearly
indicate to all unprcjudIced observer $
that New YorA's big electoral vote
will be found in the Republican col
mn next year. Three Republican
congressman were elected IN New
York, ,.actions being made necessary
by the death OF the incumbcnts. The
Democrats have been contendnle,
without any reason whatever, that
President Wilson was stronger than
his party. And this despite the fact
that everything his party has done
since he came into office has been at
his direct and specific mandate, there
never having been Il time when con-
gress was so completely subordinated
to the executive will. But in the light
Of the election returns, and recalling
that in 1912 MIR. Wilson polled two
million less than a majority Of the
votes cast, the Democrats are sadly
at sea and their blind faith in Their
leader has been badly shattered.

THE EXPOSITION.

(Written especially for the Panama.
Pacific International Exposition
Thy triumphs stand about us, balm
and book,
Complexities of steel and engines
bright,
The wings that serve our speed,
And, whatso way one look,
A myriad shapes of human Joy and
need.
Here, too, the wonders of thy harvest
shine,
The corn, the fruit. the wine
The bOunties great and fair.
That thou, with loving care,
Hast fostered on a thousand hills and
plains,
Trapping the distant rains,
And on the wilderness
Leading new rills to compensate
and bless.
And here the leaguing seraphim Of
Art
Gaze out august above the human
streams.
o beauty making l~onelier the heart,
And sending forth the soul on
dcathless dreams.

OPTIMISM VS.. PESSINIISM.

l would rather be an optimist, seek
ing the star that pierces the night Of
gloom, or looking for the silver lining
to the sable cloud, than be a pesslsm-
list, searching for fuel to heap upon
the s%moldering fires Of despair.
! would rather snatch the sunbeam
and weave it into song and Laughter,
than to take the shadow and trans
form it into the mutterings Of dis
content.
l would rather take the prattle Of
innocent childhood and make it The
guiding star Of my pilgrimage, than
take the wall of the d]isconsolate and
make 1t the siren voice toward which
my barque should forever sail.
l would rather take the dimpie
from the rosy cheek of my b~abyhood,
and endeavor to transplant 1t in
perennial setting upon my own brow
than to take the wrinkle from the face
of the hopeless and make it a part Of
my W visage.
| would rather take the notes Of
natures songbirds and make them
c|onsonant with the melodies Of my
own soul, than take the %croaking Of
the toad and arrange them into jar
ling discords that should forever
greet my ear.
l would rather take the rose, paint
I'd by the hand Of the Eternal Artist
in tints of celestial beauty, and pin it
on my breast, than take tho scared
leaf, blighted by the breath Of he
Frost King, and use 1t as a badge to
portray my sombre feelings.
l would rather chase the rainbow
that spans the brow Of evening in
guest Of the tabled bag Of gold, than
seek surcease from sorrow by plung-
ing into the murky waves from Lon
don's bridge.
l would rather watch the eagle in
his spiral course to the valuted blue
than watch the Shiny snake as he
makes his crooked trail through the
slush and mud.
! would rather be a Christian, with
faith in an omnipotent God, and with
the star of hope ever drawing me TO
a better world, than be a pagan with
no beacon light to beckOn me beyond
The confines Of my own earthly eX-
Observation-Disclosures Record.

IN DAYS TO COME.

The days to come, for you and me,
May open q way more grand and
wide,
Wherein birds sing rare melody,
And we in larger joy abide.
Then why into the darkness grope
Among the things now cold and
dead2
For us a sweeter, grander hope
Lies in the days that are ahead.
How vain past errors to regret!
'Tis wasting time, and nothing lessI
With faces toward the future set
May come to use a large success.
The past is closed, and locked and
sealed,
No matter what we do or saw.
And to 1t use can nothing yield,
For ne'er comes back a yesterday.
Put to the pillow anew your hands:
No buried past can rise again
Forward and on" the order stands,
And e'er as watchword should res
main.
Over the grave of wasted powers
"Twere worse than folly now to
grieve,
Since what is left of life is ours
In which to struggle and achieve.

Mexico as a preliminary to the reco.-
milton OF Carranza, and at a time
when the minlstrations OF that hu-
name institution were most soreiy
needed, is severely, II c~onservatively,
condemned in the latest Issues OF the

Wilson's action. which occurred the

Neither the resignation Of Diaz, nor
the assassination of Madcro, nor the
forced withdrawal Of Huerta, served
% ''pacify' Mexico. Why should Mr.
Wilson think that the recognition Il
Carranza will do it? The fact is that
Mexico can be pacified only by a
firm hand; the hand Of the United
States, to be exact.
