regarding. | am that l speak the mind
and wish of the people of America when say
that the United States is willing to become
partner in any feasible association of nations
formed in order to realize these objects and
make them secure against violation"
On all the great issues to which the war has
given rise-those which concern us now and those
with which shall have to deal hereafter-the
Wilson policies include everything of national in
terest or value for which the Progressive and the
Republican platform contend.
The same significant parallel applies TO their
pronouncements most domestic issues. They
appeal for a tariff commission; a Democratic bill
TO that end is before Congress and will be
passed. They appeal for a national system Of ru-
raj credits; bill to serve that purpose has passed
in the House and in the Senate, and as soon as
minor differences between the two measures are ad-
justed in conference, an adequate system of ru-
raj credits will be established. They advocate con-
structive regulation of big business; the Federal
Trade Commission, created by the Democratic Con-
gress, is already performing that duty in way
satisfactory to all interests concerned They rec
ognize the need of national merchant marine, but
propose no definite or feasible means of supplying
it; an Administration bill assuring the development
of a merchant marine has passed the House and
soon, no doubt, will pass the Senate.
The fact is the Wilson Administration has per-
formed its duties so efficiently and has met the
supreme issues of the time broadly that there is
no tenabe ground on which the Progressives or the
Republicans can stand in opposition The COM
polling logic of facts and events leads them newt
ably to a clear albeit unwilling and unintentional
Endorsement of the Wilson policies and the Wilson
record. They could hardly have paid him more
impressive tribute even If they had named him as
their candidate. They have taken his policies for
their platforms because they the only policies
which are adequate the countrys needs and obli-
cations and true to the basic principles of Ameri-
canism.

Breathing and Memory
BY H. ADDINGToN BRUCE.


A NYTHING that obstructs the breathing is a
n handicap on a persons power to remember
things. This is fact not nearly as widely
known il ought to be.
1t is fact which has been verified by scientific
experiment Particularly interesting and striking
are the results of some experiments made In a
public school in New York City.
The experimenter was the principal of the
school, Mr.. Felix Arnold. The subjects of his ex-
periments were boys in different grades, from 5B
through SA
In making the experiments paper plugs were
inserted in of the nostrls of every boy. While
wearing these plugs the boys on several occa-
sions given memory tests, the tests being made in
creasingly difficult to Offset any advantage that
might be gained through practice.
1t discovered that the plugging of the
nostrlS acted in two ways to lessen memory-po
by distracting the attention SO that the boys did
not adequately concentrate what they were told
to memorize, and also by impeding the intake of
oxygen. The resultant memory weakening was in
every quite marked
To quote the more important findings made by
Mr.. Arnold in consequence of his experiments:
I'm all cases of INSTRUCTED breathing from what
er source, there will be loss in the results of
memorizing verbal matter of from to 80 per cent
When the work is and difficult, the loss
will high as so per cent
In terms of classroom practice, obstructed
breathing prevents any progress through drill and
hinders assimilation of new matter sufficiently to
cause non-promotion of the pupils concerned"
OF course, boys and girls do not ordinarily
paper plugs
But too often they do study them with ade-
mold growths choking the cavity back of the nose,
or with the nostrils plugged through sheer lack
of cleanliness
DISTINCTIONS like these must be removed If
memory power is to be properly developed. This
is the lesson plainly taught by experiments like
those Mr. Arnold made
Undoubtedly among my readers are many
parents troubled by the failure of their children
to remember WELL And undoubtedly many OF
these parents eliminate this cause of worry
by the simple method of taking steps to remove,
and prevent the recurrence of, Instructions the
breathing of their beloved little ones.
Adults likewise need to take precautions to
keep their nostrils open. Nasal plugging by &C.
emulation of dust is a common occurrence to
jewellers in large cities, especially cities that have
many factories.
Also in numerous adults like children,
afflicted with abnormal tissue growths in the
nose, limiting the supply of oxygen to the lungs.
These growths need to be treated by competent
physicians for the sake of the mental as we'll as
the physical health
Please bear in mind always that memory power
depends the proper functionng of the brain, and
that brain function to its maximum II the
blood that nourishes it is impure deficient in
oxygen.
Keep your nostrils open if only to give your
brain chance.

Protect the State CAPITOL.

The frequency of incipient fires in the State
capitol is a warning which the Legislature should
heed few thousand dollars spent for timely
safeguards may prevent the loss of millions A
recent investigation by the State fire marshal shows
that conditions in the basement of the building are
such that If flames in that quarter once gained
Roadway the entire structure would be in peril
Masses of paper and other infammabe stuff are
stored without protection. There is no sprinkler
system and few devices of any for coping with
a fire emergency.
Aside from the danger to the building itself
priceless documents and records exposed to de-
struction. The public's property should not be
left in such hazard The State should not set so
bad an example in the matter of fire prevention
1t is carelessness of Just this kind that gives
America the worlds blacklist record of fire wastes
More rigid rules and more adequate equipment for
protecting the State capitol should be provided
without delay

What Would You Do?

There is no doctrine false dangerous
than that of the easygoing pacifst who holds that
America could leap to arms overnight and whip to-
gether an efficient army out of raw recruits. The
problem of national defense cannot be solved by
cock-sure ignorance 1t can be solved only by ade-
uuate and timely training. The sort of patriotism
that waits until danger is sweeping upon is more
sentimental than sound.
Writing in a recent number of the Century,
Major Robert R. Mccormick propounds this ques-
ton to the reader who lacks intensive training
a soldier:
"Supposing you were advancing in open
order of attack, and had reached point
where, with your captain killed, your platoon
commander wounded, your line, unable to go
forward, was lying in the open, and your only
chance for life was to find the range of the
enemy and shoot at him correctly that he'
in turn could no longer shoot correctly at you.
Would you listen to the orders of your cor
poral? Would you take the range he gave
YOU carefully adjust your sight and fire
every shot carefully as If you were trying
to ring cane at Coney Island or make a new
step in a dance? No, you could not do it, and
failing to do it, you would be killed by
peasant Of the type that you see working on
the railroad track mixing concrete for the
foundation of the road which you run your
automobile, and upon whom you look as hardly
human. He is better soldier than you are"
The question of national defense is not of
vague and general purport; it concerns the in
dividual citizen and concerns him vitality. Every
man who may be called upon to bear arms in his
countrys cause is due the utmost measure of rea-
sonable preparedness which his Government can
take and which he can develop. This does not
mean that the United States should embark upon
any policies of rank militarsm; and there is
danger that it will. But the nation and the in
dividual citizen alike should be prepared for, re-
sponsibilities they may have to shoulder.

Kitchener

AS the knights of old, Earl Kitchener knew
That he lived for the good that he might do;
And a deed that he had done
From the rising dawn to the setting sun,
helped his land to win the fight
For truth and honor and stainless right
He fought as he lived battle long
For the weak and oppressed against the strong
Not Britain alone mourns his warrior soul
Today. he lies where the wild waves roll
Above his head and the wild winds toll
A ceaseless dirge for England's dead
Not Britain alone, but the wide world weeps
And mngle their tears with the briny deem
OFF Scotland's crags where the heroes sleep
For staunchness scarce equalled, Kitchener's mama
Will echo down through the years of fame
Brave, loyal. unchanging, forever the same
Nevermore will he his fearless head
From the critics lash which others dread
Though he dreams In the in the darkness Of night
He'll awaken in the morn to the CLEAN Of light
That never has shone land or sea
But eliminates the heavens for such as he
Forever he's safe from war and strife
For the peace of the world he gave his life.
