COMMERCE CHAMBER NOTES

and it is hoped will be sufficiently recov-
cred to attend the March meeting.
Joint conventions executive committee
has been called for Monday. at II a. m,
to consider some pressing matters.
The Master Painters and Decorators
convention. brought here by the Conven-
tions committee. made a most favorable
impression, and is the type needed at
this time to keep the hotels crowded.
One of the best conventions ever held in
washington-the Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners-meets this year in the
West and ought to be brought again to
Washington for 1917. This convention
cost the Chamber conventions fund 81. 400
to secure and ~entertain, but left in the
city about S15O.OOO. one printer receiving
$500 for the daily printing of the organ
ization during its two weeks session in
the National Rifles Hall Without
suitable fund. however. the new joint
conventions committee is unable to bring
these profitable meetings to the Capital,
and II behooves the hotels to see the
point of supporting this movement from
which they. first OF all, reap the financial
benefit.
Attendance of directors on the meetings
of the chamber in the future is to be
noted in the minutes Of the meeting, and
the splendid attendance on Tuesday is
evidence of the support that is being ac-
corded the organization. -
Much interest is aroused in the pro-
possl of the West End Citizens' Associa-
ton. referred to the chambers public
school committee. advocating dental clin-
les in the public schools. Cleveland is
ahead Of the District in this respect.

ant matter to the city. involving an
expenditure here each year of about $780,

Since the rally Of Thursday night in

been an ardent booster for the Boy Scout
movement. His presence there to present
three Chamber OF Commerce efficiency
badges to those boys who had success
fully passed the examination in the
chamber headquarters the previous Sat
urday followed his attendance on two
other meetings the same evening. He
was agreeably surprised over the skill
developed by the boys in their drills
and gymnastic stunts, and stated 1t as
his belief that no better outlet for a
boys energetic spirit could be found. He
speaks in the highest terms Of the work
OF Messrs. Martin, Moses, Livingstone
and others locally interested. and COM
mented on the fact that these boys
should in time be the main supporters
and active spirits in Chamber Of Com
merce work. His speech to the three
winners OF the chamber badge-Messrs.
Gaddes, Eggleston. and Watson-was re-
ceived with cheers, and IL was evident
that he was touched by the hearty re-
ception rendered him.

Correcting An Error.

Our attention has been called by
several parties to an article on the
history of the Palisades section
published in the last issue of "The
Palisadian." After a careful in
vestigation of the article in question,
in which the titles to the Rusch prop
erty were questioned, we have
found that there is no foundation
whatever for the statements about
this property. It's titles are not in
question, and the title companies have
loaned money on them repeatedly. We
are glad to make this correction for
the reason that it was so fragrant
and unnecessary an error, and so
calculated to create false impress
sion of this locality.

A Prayer.

God of the warning nations,
God of the ways of peace,
Hank to the pleas of women
And bid the warfare cease!
Hank to the prayers of children,
Their small hands lifted up,
And from the world forever
Remove this bitter cup!
In years of peaceful living
Thy servants have forgot
The grief that follows carnage,
And now, their blood grown hot
They challenge each the other,
And with no needing for
The necklaced arms of loved ones
They clatter forth to war.
Oh, God, remove this madness,
And make Thy servants sane!
Remove the fields of carnage,
Where wounded and where slain
Are trampled to CORY remnants!
Our God, of war and peace,
Remove from men their blindness
And bid the warfare cease!
A wife stands all forsaken
And peers into the storm,
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm,
No loved one hears her pleading
Nor to her succor flies
Beside where she stands weeping
A baby starves and dies.
God lift the burden from them
Who bears the burden most!
God, touch the hearts of rulers!
God, turn each warning host
From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of peace!
God, hear the plants of women,
And bid the warning cease!

Local Pride.

The chief factor in the growth of
any village is undoubtedly local
pride. 1t underlies and furthers
every aim towards the advancement
of the community's welfare. How
could there be progress without it :?
Lacking pride we would have lost
the ambition to improve, the desire
for better things. The old and shah
by, the wornout and inefficient would
then be good enough for US. Time
would be the one element necessary
for our village to become the by
word for community that cannot
keep pace with the present, and that
exists as the tottering survivor of it's
past. Vulnerable are the examples
of that, and at the source of their
ruin we find the lack of that all-im-
portant force, local pride.
To advance, to thrive, to broaden
is impossible without it. The activity
of it is reflected in the structural

beauty, and usefulness of our build
ings, in the sanity and health of our
social organism, in the unselfish en-
ergy of our citizens for the Common
veal"
Local pride is seen in the associa-
ton of neighbor with neighbor, and
in the liberality of our institutions,
educational, commercial, and devout.
Individuals here are more closely
bonded than those who live in the
long city blocks, where circumstances
make neighbors comparative stran-
gers to each other. The spirit of
fellowship, which is in truth, the
spirit of common-shared pride in
what we have worked for together,
is nowhere so evident as in the vii
lage that advances. And there is
pride in each individuals effort for
the bringing nearer of what the
ideal village should be. Those efforts
without an ambitious selfshness of
end, without the intent to advance
oneself at the unjust cost Of another.
They should be followed clear-sight-
eddy and capably, unburdened by the
stubborn narrowness of petty
motives.
But most potent of all is pride in
the ethical strength and value of the
principles that guide our inner life
pride in understanding and practice
that only through spiritual forces
is the material world made worth
while.

Mr.. Taft Criticised.

The argument between ex-Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary of War Gar
rison does not bring the former into
very desirable light. 1t is the
first real "break" Mr.. Taft has made,
apparently, in his entire public
career, and for that reason alone his
position on the Philippine question at
this time may be excused. A man
named Jones, chap blowing hot or
cold on his own admission for gold,
had written an article about our
Pacific possessions that reflected upon
President Wilson's administration.
But the article appealed to Mr. Taft
and he promptly endorsed it-or
them, for there were two. He now
regrets it, for the man Jones came
out and stated that he had a better
Administration" article about the
Philippines than the ones already

If this country is to adopt a pro
gram of preparedness it must follow
the policies outlined by President
Wilson.
This should be plain to those who
profess to want to see program Of
preparedness followed, but who have
lined themselves against the ad
illustrations program.
The plan is not everything that
we should wish. 1t is not our idea
of preparedness. 1t does not repre-
sent the complete military ideal
But facing conditions as they are, il
is as complete program as can be
carried out.
This country issnot ready to stand
for universal military service.
It is not ready to build and main
tain a navy the equal of Great
Britain's.
Anything less than these two
ideals does not meet the prepared
ness program of the military adj
vocates.
But this program is not possible
of fulfllment. The country is not
ready to accept it, and to make the
sacrifice necessary to carry it out.
The only program possible is one
81 +hn - J,,,i tx.o
If this program is to be carried
out it must have the cordial support
of those who wish to see the nation
placed in better position to defend
itself.
The fight is not going to be an
easy one.
Bryan is out to beat President
Wilson in this important work of
the administration, and is getting
votes from whom he can. A vote is
vote. One who opposes the Presi-
dents plan because he thinks it is
not adequate, is playing into the
hands of Bryan just as completely
as the person who thinks, with
Bryan, that no preparedness is nes-
essary; that we could raise can
army of million men before sun
set"
Republicans and Democrats who
are sincere in wanting to see some
measure of preparedness taken,
should get behind the administration.
Any other course means no adj
vancement, and no preparedness in a
world at arms and at war.

Irony of Manning Out Careers

Just why it is that the majority
of men seldom follow in life the
careers they have mapped out for
themselves has been variously ex-
planned by poets and philosophers,
but no two viewpoints in explana-
ton of this phenomenon agree. Poets
have said that it is the irony of Fate,
while philosophers seem inclined to
attribute it to psychological change
of some kind.
To say that men fail to follow
their original intent because of one
reason or another is dogmatic, and
highly typical of all human reason
ing. AS poets and philosophers we
are all too prone, in our search for
truth and the cause for things, to be-
come narrow in our point of view and
say that such and such a thing is
the case according to our personal
thoughts upon the subject.
The varying angles of life, Of
course, change as we grow older.
What might have appealed strongly
at sixteen has often lost it's flavor
at twenty. At twenty we generally
are sure of our calling, yet the
large majority of men change, and
instead of sticking to chosen line,
the allurements come thick and fast,
and we are beset with alternate
misgivings and determination.
The change of the times in America
especially, has caused the youth of
the land to reach state of indeci-
sion. We have been called the land
of opportunity, and certainly no
country ever opened so broad a field
of endeavor as ours. The minister's
son has drifted to Alaska in search of
gold; the lawyer who prided himself
on seeing his heir limb of his own
profession, finds him finally drifted
into the life of an electrical engineer.
And so Fate goes on playing
pranks with our determination,
shaking us loose from a strong hold
On business or a profession, so that
the caprice of Fortune may assert
itself and prove it's own tickle mind.
AS boys, in the unseasoned state,
we picture in our dreams that we
want to be policemen or doctors or
cab drivers. And sometimes these
childish air castles find development
and realization in the end. Every
man has day dreams, but in America
many a one has eliminated in the
fruition of that first hope.

published criticising the present man
agement of affairs at Manila.
Be this as it may, Secretary of
War Garrison this week comes out
and belabors Mr.. Taft without gloves,
and calls him to account for his
statements. Mr.. Garrison states
that the Islands are as properly man
aged at the present time as at any
time since they have belonged to the
United States, and says it is unjust
in the ex-President to make any in
situations and statements to the con-
trary. Mr.. Taft, however, says that
aside from the Jones papers, he has
his own trusted information from the
Philippines, and he knows things have
gone wrong down there. 1t is an
unfortunate controversy from any
angle. Those who looked to see Mr.
Taft above the petty quarrel, are
clearly disappointed that he should
have fallen into one, however unwit-
tingly it might have been forced
upon him. On the other hand, those
who know President Wilson, under
stand clearly that he would not toll
crate for moment any government
in the Philippines that was not up tt
the highest standards of efficiency
and justice, exactly as he has estab
lished things along the same lines
at home.
| P. S. Mr.. Garrison has since made
a detailed statement of the Philip.
pine situation in which he puts Mr.
Taft in the sorriest of plights. He
shows entirely from the records the
exact truth, Withholding nothing
and closes by charging that if Mr.
Taft did not make his unsupported
charges for political reasons, he hac
no reason at all.
All in all, Mr. Garrison makes {
much more tenable case for the Ad
ministration than Mr.. Taft makes
against it.
