American Charity for Belgium.

When a year ago Belgium was dev-
astated by foreign force. its peo-
pie rendered homeless by the bombs
and shells of an invader, its cities
razed by fire, its industries paralyzed
and its king and army driven to the
frontier and into another country,
the people of the United States went
to its aid and sent provisions and
clothing and money for necessities.
Large sums were subscribed from all
parts of the country and from all
classes. A wave of tender sympathy
swept this land and carried relief to
Belgium that saved many lives and
created a new world record in prac-
tical charity.
belgium is now in almost as seri-
Gus need of assistance as it was last
year at this time. The foreign force
is still in control of nearly the en-
tire territory, and the industries are
virtually at a standstill. The people
are still dependent to great extent
upon outside assistance. They are
enjoined by the conquering power
to pay heavy war indemnity month
ly. Ii the American relief does not
continue to reach them this winter
they will suffer acutely, and it can
hardly be doubted that many will
die for lack of actual necessities of
life.
Appeals are being made now to the
people of this country to maintain
the flow of American benefcence for
the benefit of the Belgians. The peo-
pie of that unfortunate land
are in a moral sense the wards of
the United States. We have assumed
a responsibility that cannot now be
ignored after a year of effort. No
consideration of Germany's respon-
sibility for the welfare of the land
that it has seized and SO rudely
treated lessons the obligation that
circumstances have imposed upon
this country to make sure that the
Belgians do not perish for lack of
sustenance.
An effective organization has been
created for the distribution of
American bounty in Belgium. 1t has
worked remarkably we'll under the
most difficult conditions. Men and
women have devoted themselves un-
stintedly and unselfshly to this task,
Drawing dangers and making sacri-
fees in order to succor the wretched
victims of a war to which they were
in no sense originally party. With
this machinery now working smooth
ly American supplies in goods and
cash should continue to pour into the
hopper without reckoning the amount
that has gone before. The Belgian
charity of the American people will
ultimately be judged not by the first
burst of enthusiastic sympathy, but
by continued giving SO long as the
necessity remains.

"Conscription''' and Politics.

Those Nebraska admirers OF JUS
tice Hughes have erred on two
points: (D They should have applied
for permission to use his name, and
(2) they should not be talking now
about "conscription.'
Their first offense must have grown
out of conviction that such re-
quest by them would be denied. All
the more bound should they have
considered themselves. therefore, not
to proceed. They should have re-
spected the easily inferred feelings
of the eminent jurist. When they
neglected or refused to do that they
were guilty not only of discourtesy,
but of a personal injury.
The talk of "conscription" at this
time is an offense to the republican
party. 1t reduces that organization
to the level of the bull moose party.
Bull moosery without Mr.. Roosevelt
is nonsense; and it is not much more
today with him. If the republican
party has but one man within its
ranks OF sufficient strength to win
the presidency next year, its pros
poets are poor, indeed.
But in the opinion of republicans
generally no such condition exists.
So rich are the prospects esteemed
that almost a dozen men have light
ning-rods up charged to attract a
presidential bolt. Until recently one
state-Ohio-had as many as four,
and one-New York-still has two.
Justice Hughes possesses many ele-
ments of strength, and undoubtedly
would make stirring campaign
against Mr.. Wilson. But to picture
him as the only man in his party
capable of showing the way to vic
tory is to go counter to a widely pre-
vailing appraisement of the situation.
If he is nominated next year it will
not be on that admission, but on the
easily conceded fact that he is a most
attractive man and would make an
excellent President.
Strangely enough, Mr.. Bryan's
friends are making something of the
same sort of mistake as to him. Those
of their number who have soured on
the President show disposition to
resort to conscription in his case
and he is having hard time hold
ing them down. They are of opinion
that he is the only man in the party
capable of leading it to victory next
years; and hence their keen desire
to organize a movement in his be-
half. He refuses permission, seeing
plainly enough that even were such
a movement to succeed a nomination
for him so obtained would not be
worth bawbee
In this matter the democratic party
IS one-man party, not because of
a lack OF presidential material, but
because it must stand on the record.
and hence must stand by the man
who has made the record.

We starred out to learn;

And a motion to adjourn.

AS the arguments were met.
But the topics grew aggressive
And they aren't settled yet.

In the sunshine of our youth,

We set out to show the truth.
And we make our contributions
And we vanish each in turn.

JUST THOUGHTS

Great faith never springs out OF
easy situations.
Absalom's death proved the genu-
ineness of his hair
No man is so ignorant that he can't
teach you something.
Ambition has neither top rung nor
anything to lean against.
Only those who climb the hills
are first to see the rising sun.
You have to break the speed laws
to keep ahead of run of bad luck.
II you expect to recognize heaven
when you reach it you must learn to
know it in this world
Those who are too lazy to scatter
the good seed will have only empty
bins when the harvest time arrives
If you are too deaf to hear the
angels singing in this world, you'll
have no ears for their music over
yonder
The thing that matters most, both
for happiness and for duty, is that we
should strive habitual1y to live with
wise thoughts and right feelings.

TRAVERS FIRST IN
MET GOLF RATING

Jerome d. Travers, Of Upper Mont

ter ]. Travis, of Garden City, handi-
capped at two. Five hundred and
fifty-six names were submitted to
the committee.
Kirkby won the Metropolitan cham
pionship last spring, Travers being
abroad at the time. Because of his
being the title-holder many thought
that Kirkby would be accorded the
distinction of sharing the position of
honor with Travers.
Fred Herreshoff was at two a year
ago with Kirkby and Travers, but
now the first named has dropped to
the three group with Walter K.
whigham and e. M. Byers.
More fortunate is Philip Carter. the
Nassau golfer, who a few weeks ago
won the st. Valentines tournament
at Pinehurst. Carter has been moved
forward from six to four.
