TIME FOR A HALT.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
thinks ii possible in the daily life of
the American democracy to get an
overdose Of the didactic. It says:
There are heaps of professional ex-
hOrters who live by denouncing every
thing in sight-evangelist who fill
their dishpans by excOriating faithful
ministers of the gospel; essayists who
hurl verbal lyddite at the colleges and
wave their bearskins at its sheep
skins, yammering epithets at the
graduates and singing slang at the
professors. May not admonition be in
fuentiaI without such brandishing and
yelling? Cannot wisdom speak in a
still. small voice? Is it necessary for
magazines and magizinists to decry
and deny and disrupt in order 10 get 2
hearing2'
Well said. Elevation by denuncia-
ton. execration and tongue-lashing
somebody has been carried to the point
OF revolt. 1t is no longer possible to
rise without pulling down someone
no longer possible to get credit for
courage without attacking and mang-
ling some victim? The magazines who
employ expert reformers to write up
social and political conditions and the
evangelists who start an interest in
religion by denouncing the churches
ought TO be the first TO ponder this
subject seriously.

WHAT WASHINGTON MEANT

Precisely what had Washington in
mind when he incorporated in his
farewell address the famous dictum
about "entangling alliances?" Can we
prove that he meant what he has been
understood TO mean? What circum-
stances led him to this conclusion;
how permanent did he believe this isO-
lation should be; how considerable a
modifying influence did he assign to
future exigencies?
Fortunately, the very full evidence
enables us to answer definitely all
questions about the farewell address
that are Of significance. Like most
important state papers, it was not
composed entirely by Washington, but
was evolved with the assistance and
collaboration Of Hamilton and Madi-
son, both of whom drafted it in full
After much discussion and CORE
spOndence with them and with others,
Hamilton's final draft, with many al
terations and excisions by Washin gton
himself, was c>~ized SO full is our
information about Hamilton's thoughts
and about Washington's own ideas
that We can almost trace the address
in the correspondence of the two men
for the preceding years.
OF LuOS6 dcCuSIOLneu 10 Ln1nK OF
the farewell address as delivered to
a patriotic and affectionate nation,
eager to receive from its most hon
ored and revered statesman his part
ing words of counsel, it is a shock to
learn that Washington meant il TO be
his justification before posterity for a
policy which had been so roundly
abused and more generally disapprov-
ed by contemporaries than perhaps
any other ever initiated by an Ameri-
can statesman, says Roland G. Usher
in the North American Review. Here
again his own innate modesty made
him hesitate to defend himself openly
for fear he should reveal the depth of
the wounds such hostility had caus-
ed him, and for fear lest his enemies
should exult over an admission that
he felt defense necessary. AS he wrote
Hamilton, the address must defend
him and his policy without making
either him or his policy too prominent
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-07-06

Joined TO these motives was the hope
in WashingtOn's mind that he might
still possess sufficient influence
which he seems at this time to have
doubted-to restrain the people from
an alliance with France which he be-
1ieved imminent and both unwise and
iDexpedient
In the last paragraphs of the ad-
dress itself, Washington has struck
for US its keynote: With me, a pre-
dominant motive has been to gain time
to (sic) our country to settle and ma
ture its yet recent institutions and to
progress without interruption to that
degree of strength and consistency
which is necessary to give it, human
Iy speaking, the command of its own
fortunes"
Washington in the address constant
Iy distinguished between permanent
political alliances, which he believed
lnexpedient for the United States be-
cause we had no interest in the ord
mary friendships or enmities in Eur
ope, and temporary political alliances
which he felt would b-- under extra
ordinary emergencies essential His
warning against European alliances
emphasized again and again all en-
gagements which were not rooted in
the country had attained greater de-
velopment America could have no po-
htlcal mot economic) interests which
european alliance would be neces-
sary to defend
IL should, therefore, be clear that
washington himself explicitly implied
IN the farewell address that the
growth of the country would proba-
Dly invalidate his counsel regarding
entangllng alliances within 90 years"
observes the writer. Would he not be
the last to hold that the American
people are today TO feel themselves
nouhd 10 follow under present condi-
tlohs counsel regarding alliances
explicitly based upon the fundamen-
TAI problems of a small, weak. dis
organized, debt-ridden country in
winch firm constitutional government,
the puhiic credit. and nationality, had
YET 70 he established beyond the pos
slblllty of changeg"

THE KANSAS HARVEST.

Bloomington Paragraph: A Kansas
City paper states that Kansas must i'm
port $4,000 men TO harvest its crops
and that less than three thousand are
available at present Generally
speaking the reports as to the need of
Kansas for harvest hands have been
somewhat exaggerated and this season
may be no exception. But there is
liable to be a scarcity of labor of the
kind needed for farm work. The
trouble in the past has been that while
there may have been idle men enough
to care for the wheat harvests of the
west those who have fOcked in that
direction from the east have not been
trained to such work and have proved
OF little help. The man who is able to
lay his hands 10 any kind Of task on 2
farm can no doubt find useful employ
ment in the west for the remainder of
the summer and fall.

A LETTER FROM A CONGRESSMAN
TO TIE PRESIDENT.

House of Representatives Washing
ton, ID. c., July 8, 1916.-Hon. Wood
row Wilson, the White House-My
dear Mr.. President: Permit me to
congratulate you on the fine spirit Of
your address in Philadelphia and New
York and to express the hope that the
obvious way out of the delicate Mexi-
can situation may be taken with the
least possible delay.
Our troops in Mexican soil are a con-
tinuing menace to good understanding,
a certain invitation to recurrence of
incidents similar to that which took
place at Carrizal. Their mission has
been fulfilled. They have already dis
peTsed the bandits after whom they
were sent. 1t seems that if patrol duty
alone is required, this can be better
done at the border and within our own
territory than two or three hundred
miles below the international bound
airy. At all events troop movements
should be nOrthward rather than in
any direction which may tend to ex-
cite the apprehensiOns of the people of
Mexico.
Nothing can be more certain than
that the continued operation of Amer
lean armed forces upon Mexican soil
will eventuate in a breach of our
friendly relations with the distracted
republic which we should be helping
toward the solution of its difficult and
perplexing problems rather than add
ing to them. We can lose nothing in
dignity or in honor by doing a just
thing in the removal of a disturbing
factor which is under our control.
l am embOldened to address this let
ter TO you by your own lofty words
and by the sentiments they imply. l
be ready in every point of policy and
of action to vindicate at whatever cost
the principles of liberty, of justice and
of humanity to which we have been
