the American people are decidedly
opposed to war. There is no chance
to misunderstood their attitude. and
there is no reason to doubt that the
national administration fully ap-
preciates this attitude, and is in ac-
cord with it.
While, fortunately, we are not
prepared for war. although we are
spending some 100000, 900 a year
for our army and navy, it would be
against our every interest to plunge
into a sentimental war, and the peo-
pie are in no mind for it.
While the diplomatic correspond
ense was going on, and there were
vague guesses and rumors as to its
purport, which were aggravated by
Mr.. Bryan's resignation for the rea-
sons stated, within twelve hours
after the publication of President
Wilson's note to Germany, the anx-
iety over the matter disappeared.
Now there is really no cloud on
the sky, and no clamor, except from
the interests that want army and
navy contracts, which are a SQUIRE OF
wealth for a few, and politicians OF
the Gus Gardner type, whose vapor-
ings amount to nothing as calmness
and reason take the place of excite
ment and hysteria.
A stranger might have imagined
from the addresses of few public
men, and the flapdoodle resolution!
adopted by sundry organizations
such as the National Securit!
League, that our country was on thu
brink of war; but nothing coult
have been more mischievously alb
surd.

of any work at very cheap rates, and

GRAY HAIR AND AGE

A Washington writer, in discuss
ing Mr.. Lansing, now secretary of
state says of him: Gle is of grave,
dignifed presence, which is en-
HANGED by his prematurely gray hair
he is only ST."
This raises a question. II man
is prematurely gray at 81, what Is
the age when he might normally
and properly have whitened hair? In
other words, when Is a man old? Ut
is a world-old question and has been
answered in many ways. lso the es-
Inmates of what constitutes age
vary widely. Noah was 600 years
old at the time of the food and it
is not related of him that his hair
was yet gray, though it is very like
| ly to have been SO by the time his
voyage in the ark was completed.
Israel was 1870 and his eyes were
dim with age when he went into
Egypt, but Moses was young and ac-
tive at 80.
To come down to recent times,
there is the much quoted dictum OF
a famous doctor that mans great
est usefulness Is past at &c dec
laration violently disputed, how
ever. But as to gray hair as sign
Of age, do we not see 1t on men OF
80 to SO, with badness, incidental
". at a still earlier period? And IL
it not a common thing to hear Of
white haired women of-well, ma
ture years, yet hardly so, speak Of
being prematurely gray? Yet, here
is a man of 81 spoken of as beins
gray too early. 1t is highly prob
able that the writer, who so men
lions him, is still further on II
years and looks at the new secretar,
as a mere youth, so readily and un
consciously do standards shift.
