Ever since President Wilson averted

good deal of speculation as 10 the

business men, and the thrifty work.

gress.
The American Banker may be ac-
cepted As the representative organ OF
the bankers. His views may be taken
as their views. Taking that for
granted. the bankers Of the country
Jnreservedly endorse what the pres
dent has done and agree with him
that, whatever the merits Of the
eight-hour day proposition, Il was in
6nitely better for public welfare to
accept the eight-hour day than to
send the country into a calamitous
strike.
Its substance and its source justify
the reprinting Of the American Bank
ers' editorial on President Wilson,

, congress:
President Wilson has been widely
credited with keeping this country out
Of the European war. The national
executive has, during the past week,
been confronted with the even more
difficult task Of maintaining indus
trial peace at home and averting a
struggle between capital and labor
which would not be less disastrous in
its consequences than TO be involved
in hostilities with a foreign power.

There are a number Of voters who are

HOME m ITS TRUE SENSE
Each Must Help to Make 1t, but One
Alone Can Mar 1t.

To say Of the home which marriage
ought to create that it is "a mans king
dom, child's paradise and a woman'S
world" is TO blur its meaning.
The home is no ones kingdom, no
ones paradise, uo ones world The
only kingdom it resembles is the king
dom Of heaven because it is within
you. Home is dependent for its real
ity-and its reality is as deep as any
thing we know-upon condition of
spirit.
This indeed is embodied or at least
Swallowed forth in this or that physical
symbol-the sheltering roof. the fire
place, the common table-but it is de
pendent on no one Of these.
For Omar the symbol was the loaf
the jug an1 the book for Deirdre and
Naisi it was the tent las tidy as a bee
hive or linnets' nest" or the open sky
among the snipe and plover."
Home means love and companionship
and mutual dependence, the spirit of
common service and Of common loyal
ty. 1t may lie achieved by a husband
and wife or by a family or by two
friends or even by single person who
has the home feeling toward the world
without.
To say that it is the woman's hardest
task to make the home is to miss its
most exquisite meaning. No one of the
group can make the home, though any
one can mar it. 1t must be made by all
for the uses of all.-Atlantic Monthly
