SPRING Is HERE
By Ing DIngcr

Wind a-blowin', heap much snowin'
Made me think that Spring fell down
In arriving here, as scheduled.
But she's surely come to town.
Yestermorn l was quite doubtful,
But it didn't take me long
To determine that my doubtings
Bout her coming were all wrong.
Just got the kids and took 'em
For a walk through field and wood;
Saw the plants and trees a-buddin',
But what did me much more good
Was to hear bird a-chirpin';
Saw him fly down from his nest,
Knew for sure then Spring was with
us
Twas old Robin, red of breast.

wrong TO instil the idea in the
minds of the youth of the nation.

fessor Beard given to his common

the people of the United States never

method of electing United States sena-

1t is a Heaven-sent blessing that the
constitution is so designed that it can
not be made readily the subject of
every whim and fancy of such impas-
stoned radicals as Professor Beard, no
matter how honest and sincere they
may be.
The constitution is a vital instru-

nation. Nobody would employ a man
unskilled and inexperienced in
masonry. no matter how wide his
theoretical knowledge might be, TO
experiment upon the foundations OF
his house. The same should apply to
the government. Just now we are
suffering quite sufficiently from the
effects OF theories and experiments in
law hastily applied. that are not prov
ing adequate to sustain the weight they
are called upon to bear
The strength of the constitution
lies in the safeguards thrown about

with confidence that it will be to-
substantially what it is to-
day. Remove this faith and trust and
turn the constitution over TO the per-
petual tinkering of legislative cubists.

HARVEY VS.. WILSON.

Leslie's Weekly is making much ado
over a criticism by Colonel George
Harvey, in the September number of
The North American Review, of Pres
ident Wilson's handling of the Mexi-
a situation during the last twenty
nine months. We would like to know
what Colonel Harvey has ever done,
beyond writing newspaper and maya
zine articles, which should make Of so
much value his criticism of state
craft, international law, the admins
tration of national affairs, etc. In
fact, we do not believe that outside of
a small coterie of enemies Of the Will
son administration, any notice is taken
of what Colonel George Harvey saws
about public matters. He writes we'll,
but good writing does not always in
=dicate either good Judgment, intimate
knowledge, OF honesty of purpose.
We have heard it said that one of
the main publications to which, Colo

THE PRESIDENT KNOWS.

! The jingoes have not yet pursuaded
President Wilson that the United
States should go to war with any
country. Efforts to stampede popular
opinion have also failed utterly. The
President knows that the people Of
this country want a continuation or
present peaceful relations with their
neighbors abroad and those nearer
home. There is no demand for large
" increased military and naval pre-
paration amongst the rank and file,
except in the sense that the country
should be amply protected against in
vaders from whatever source they
may appear. In any event the Amer
ican public is content with the adj
mirable manner in which their COM
mander-in-chief has been handling
the situation and will continue to rely
upon his sincerity of purpose and re-
markable ability to do the right as he
sees the right.
There are those who would spend
millions in getting ready to Lick some

ness will not become a serious issue

Lloyd George is at least honest
with himself and frank with the Brit
'ish people. His declaration and adj
mission that Kaiser WiIhelm's supe>
rIor strength is a menace to English
safety, while decidedly surprising
may serve a good purpose to the
allies. The kaiser has shown to the
world what specializing in the science
of war for forty years may accomplish
in the way of preparedness. The
English mind has finally begun to
realize the danger of Germany's re-
markable strength on the field of con-
quest and there is a probability that
the Britishers may hereafter proceed
on the idea that practice makes per-
feet in self defence. England can no
longer advance the claim of being
mistress of the sea. She has made a
pitiful showing in the present titantic
struggle and Lloyd George is honest
enough to admit it. But the end is
not yet and she may redeem herself.

STEEL DECISION AIDING TRADE
 CONDITIONS

The Steel decisions elucidation Of the common sense Of the sherman act in its domestic application is singular ly opportune In coinclding with new attention given to the restrictions ap- parently placed by that act upon our foreign trade. Further. both topics came to the fore at time when vastly greater opportunities than be- fore appear to exist for our foreign. and hence our domestic business. At the moment we have as visitors dele gates from both South America and China seeking mutually with as to create or to strengthen trade ties.
 The new federal trade commission acting under specific instructions by the Covington act to investigate the extent to which our trade export is handicapped in competing with for cien combinations. therefore comes appropriately on the scene with its inquiry in leading commercial cen- ters. In Boston last week i, was told by the most representative local op- inion that some degree of cooperation ii not combination among American manufacturers who would be export CTS is highly essential. even prior to branch banks and shipping. if they are Co compete effectively abroad.
 m New York that story was re- peated with even greater detail and authority. Various other commercial desiderata were set forth. but this issue was clearly the most fundamen- tal. President Ryan of the Amalga- mated Copper Company brought out forcibly the manner in which foreign buying cooperation has succeeded in thrustlng handicap here at home on American manufacturers by coilec- tive ability to buy our copper and lumber at figures sufficiently under what domestic buyers paid to offset the cost Of manufacture-apart from the parting by us too cheaply of ire placeable natural assets. The disad- vantage to us in neutral markets is palpable
 But the sherman act. in It's prohibi- ,ion Of contracts. combinations or conspiracics in trade with foreign na- tions" as well as among the states. seems to stand in the way of retalia- tory or rather defensive American ac- ton. At least there is presump- ton of doubt strong enough to act as a deterrent quite as effectaive as assured prohibition. Either judicial assurance to the contrary or. still bet ter. some substantive permissive en- actment. seems requisite.
 The need of such cooperation is adequately clear. to supplement the
