Wanted: A National Spirit.

thoughtful appeal for a stronger national
point of view was voiced by President George
c. Vincent, of the University of Minnesota, at
recent meeting of an organization of business
men of that State, when he declared that the
days of petty localism past and that Amerl-
cans must educate themselves to cope with the
enlarged problems the future holds for them.
Dr. Vincent's address was distinctly nom
partisan one, but, inevitable in discus
sion of his major topic, there came sentiment
in the course of his talk which cannot but be
taken to bear strongly upon the questions which
are to be decided by the voters of the country
in the coming election.
1--WE want to be a strong nation" he said;
mot an aggressive one in the sense Of conquest
at the expense of mankind. We must assume
the burdens of maintaining the peace of the
world, not by a weak and sentimental cosmo-
politanism but by making national influence
felt"
Is America making its national influence felt?
Perhaps the question should be: Has America
any national influence?
The truth seems to be that since the Demo-
Gratis have been in power nationally, there has
been a decrease in that national influence which
for so many years had placed the United States
among the foremost of the worlds nations
Mere criticism of the Democrats for the
ldIuCuldDIc IGSullS llCy nave dSulCNSu IS DOOI-
less. Much more profitable is it to consider how
American prestige may be rebuilt and the coun-
try's standing before the world rehabilitated
A Federal government built the shifting
sands Of political expediency cannot serve the
purpose The successful administration must be
broadly based on foundation of definite, con-
structve principles with effective policies for the
attainment Of that industrial and military pre-
paredness which shall give force and value to
whatever foreign policies may be formulated and
adopted
The Republicans committed to the policy
Of repairing the gaps cot in a necessary tariff
wall by a short-sighted Congress-
AS to military preparedness, it is almost anus
ing to hear the declamations of Democratic ora
tors who bring that subject forward, in view of
the apparent failure of the administration to get
anywhere in its program of defense measures.
A thoroughly national point of view will not
be acquired by the country until it is equipped
with a thoroughly, sincerely and boldly American
administration, fearless OF unjust aggression
from any direction and not inclined to substitute
words for actions, when self-respect calls for
action.

Who VIII Paw?

When the question of who will bear the bur
den of the $65,ooo,ooo annually which the Adam
son eight-hour law forces upon the railroads is
considered, study OF the latest classification Of
New York. New Haven and Hartford stock
holders furnishes food for thought
Out of total number OF $500 stockholders,
1915 or over As per cent own from one to ten
shares OF stock each. Nine thousand three hun
dred and seventy-hve own from eleven to fifty
shares and there are only I64 stockholders out OF
the aggregate who hold over 1000 shares.
These figures are enlightening since they show
that the bulk of the New Haven stock is held
by people of limited means. They are not cap
tains Of industry bloated bondholders but
individuals who probably expect a moderate re-
turn on their investment
The New Haven finances have been the sub
Ject Of minute investigation by Federal and State
authorities. 1t was proven beyond question that
financial juggling and maladministration had
brought the road to the point where it faced a
receivership. In that emergency Howard Elliott
was brought forward and under his skillfu man
agement the exchequer has been repIenished
and the company is on the road that leads to
eventual dividends. 1t is not yet out of deep
water, but it can see daylight with reasonable
assistance and cooperation from the govern
ment
Chder such circumstances the Adamson eight-
hour law with its enforced salary increases is
serious problem for the New Haven to meet
Those who figure that only the extreme
wealthy will suffer through the additional fnan-
cial obligations which the railroads must shoulder
would do well to study the figures of the New
Haven stockholders. There are 1881 trustees
and guardianships represented in that list, and
these investors for others represent in the main
numerous small legaCes Coupled with the
1915 small stockholders they demonstrate con-
clusively that the small investor who needs the
dividend will help pay the freight
