BEFORE THE PEOPLE

President Wilson, it is said, will take the stump in behalf Of his pro-
gram for national defense if that curse shall seem to be necessary by
reason OF the activity Of Mr.. Bryan and other platform speakers iii
opposition.
The president will, Of course, exercise a large influence on con-
gress: put the directing influence. after all is in the body polite. When
congressman hear from enough oft their constituents they take heed OF
the popular will as it is reflected by the multitude of individual EXPIRES
sons.
So Mr.. Wilson will go directly to the people, the source OF all
power in this democratic government: will commune with them as their
chosen leader and spokesman and endeavor to persuade them that their
" safety and their w interests require that their country nus We
adequately prepared % defend itself against possible aggression. to nam
tain its honor and dignity in all circumstances, and to do its tn share
in upholdmg civilization and the majesty OF international law. In the
the United States must OF necessity play a very important part. and tn
country must be strong enough to make its influence felt. At present
its weakness is a byword and a reproach and, as many eminent authorr-
ties have said, W e will be in 10 position to concern ourselves with lie
mands for the respect that is our due until we are prepared to enforce
such demands.
1t is all very well for those who are indignant and resentul to talk
OF punitive measures, reparation and that sort of recourse upon the sup
position that all this country needs to do to compel the respect that we
should insist upon is to muster IL little Intellectual army and lay down
the law. President Wilson knows better. The people, it may be reason
ably supposed, will understand him and will back him up, in spite of
opposing politicians and mnksop pacHsts

and a richly sowned woman and a
small. ragged boy were the principals in

neighborhood which has been so prom
inently connected with the social his
tory OF Washington since its earliest
days. The boy was passing the car
when Mrs Hemmick called 10 him.
Hesitatingly, he climbed on the running
board OF the machine and peered In the
open door at the fine lady with. the
kind face. After a few moments con-
versation, Mrs. Hemmick opened her
purse and gave the child bit OF money.
1t may not have been much. but It was
enough to make the youngsters face
beam with JOY. He looked as though
lie thought 1t all Just too wonderful to
be true! His pleasure was certainly
good to see and Mrs Hemmick seemed
to get real joy out Of his JOY.
