Bryan was right when he said
that no American citizen had a
right to interpose his private af-
fairs where they would threaten
the peace of the whole nation,
and therefore Americans should
refrain from embarking upon
any ship Of the belligerant ma
tions of Europe. The Globe
Democrat now comes forward
with the statement that in return
for the friendly spirit in which
the German government ap-
proaches our government in the
discussion over the sinking of
ships of belligerants carrying
American citizens that our gov
ernment might give expression
to that spirit by doing what it
can legally do to discourage
Americans from taking passage
on any but neutral ships. = This
sound sense should prevail over
the jingo spirit of protecting
Americans anywhere and at all
hazards.

Keeping House for Your Neishbors

IS
The hardest housekeeping in
the world is the housekeeping
that people do for their neigh
bors. Half the troubles we have
are caused by worrying about
what people think. What differ
ence does it make what they may
think, anyway? No one can live
his own life and two or three
other peoples besides. They
can't do this because the neigh
bors would talk, and they can't
do that because the neighbors
wonder if they could not afford
to do something else. They may
not say it in so many words but
they mean it, and it is simply q
great big vacuum in some OF our
natures where moral courage
ought to be. Half the sting of
poverty or small means is gone
when one keeps house for him
self and not for his neighbors.

Democratic Ideals.

q living unit in his national exis-
tence and progress. Indeed his
progress has been made by him
self and his neighbor. They have
not been superimposed by q po-
litical power from above, they
have grown out of the mingled
co operative thoughts and acts of
the people themselves. The
humblest citizen sitting by the
stove in a country store feels his
sense OF opportunity and privil-
|ege and voices boldly and dog
matically his sentiments regard.
ing national affairs. He discuss
es at length all phases of his
oountry's welfare, from the do.
ings of the President in the
White House, to the acts of the
local constable or road maker.
He knows that he counts, that
his vote counts on election day,
and it would be foolhardy poll
tician who would inSinuate that
his views had better be kept to
himself.
It's one of the firmly ground
led convictions in the United
States that the right of the peo-
pie to work out their own saliva
tion by means of a somewhat
rigid constitution made by the
people themselves, and amended
to suit the changes in the nation
algrowth, rather than by a more
flexible form of government
manipulated by an autocratic
hand above them, forms one of
the distinct advantages of citizen
ship. Nothing would compen :
safe, in the American thought,
for loss of the individual sense
of participation in the formation
Of Institutions and of helping to
work out the problems of repre-
sentative government. The grave
difficulties and the wrestling
with knotty problems. the need
of new decisions concerning
fresh issues by an equally re-
sponsible electorate, furnish the
iron on which the nation may
bite. the exercise by which it's
faculties may be aroused, and
they make strong appeal to the
intense love of the native mental
ity for difficulty and contest with
the unsubdued.
That lie has not reached the
height-of his democratic ideal of
equality, either in the laws or in
the activities, of business, does
not invalidate the ideal in the
citizen $ thought, and as long as
an individual or a nation refuses
to relinquish it's lofty aim and is
ready to sacrifice for it, there is,
in partial fulfHment or even in
failure, much for which to hope.

The record makers gained one OF
their greatest triumphs when they sue

ficulty was the objection that the
birds had to the sounds OF the re-

round that BY setting up dummy
