Why | Am for Wilson
by IDA NJ. TARBELL

Does any American to-day see big
ger. or more dispassionately or moro
clearly than President Wilson? I be-
lieve that Progressives will see this:
If they don't it Is a reflection on their
intelligence.
President Wilson has proved his fit
ness TO lead the progressive civiliza-
ton. True, he has not yet had time to
convert the man who cries for his
pound OF flesh, nor alter the views Of
him who fails to see that bloody war
is but the primitive expression of saw
age weakness promoted by the ignobie
desire OF conquest or revenge. But he
has forced respect for neutrality. and
he has handled his delicate, Mexican
inheritance with tact and wisdom.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
Salucs.

If all the world were made OF cake,
win seas of punch. and pudding isles,
And no one had the stomach ache,
And all the tears were turned to smiles:
If most mon were good as gold,
And never thought an ugly thing,
And only evil folk grew old
If all were life, and love, and SPRING
I say, If all things came to pass
Just as we thought they ought to be.
And, gazing In tho looking glass,
We saw but love and sympathy;
If stretching plains OF passing space
In endless fairness held tho eye
Then dying were a sweet release;
In such Il state. I'd rather de-
For I've thought that but for rain
We'd not appreciate the sun.
And l would hate an endless plain
OF peace or strife. of grief or fun.
For have never seen Il roso
Worth while. that didn't have a thorn:
The JOY of life begins and grows
With contrasts when a man is born.

Now Is the Time to Helm

w lLSON'S reelection is SO nearly assured,
w even in the minds of the leaders of the
Republican campaign. that these leaders are
in IL panic. They combing Wall Street
and the retreats of hitherto protected in
forests for money with which to swing the
election in the doubtful States. If this effort
is to be combatcd, Democrats the country
over must supply the means. Here in Rich
mond we must do what we can.
The fund The Times Dispatch is engaged
in collecting now exceeds $1.100. The lists
VIII close next Saturday evening and by
that time it is hoped to make the fund much
larger.
OF course, this fund does not represent the
total OF Richmond and Virginia's contribution
10 the cause OF Democracy. There have been
other ana larger gifts directly to the national
committee. The Times-Dspatch fund is an
opportunity offered the Democrat of small
means to aid his partys cause. Most OF the
SUBSCRIPTIONS have come from those who
could afford TO give only little and II is TO
such persons that continue to appeal

We have consulted men who can understand
the Guinea of the South Carolina rice fields,

National Guard in Peace Plan

THAT President Wilson has kept his coun-
try out of war is the crowning achieve
ment of great administration. The peace
the United States now enjoys is not mere
negative quality or condition, but a positive
accomplishment the product Of policies as
skillfully pursued as they were wisely con-
celVed. Our prosperity, our happiness, our
immunity from all the dreadful sacrifices
war entails, are not mere haphazard bless
ings falling mannalike from the sky; they
nave been continued and assured because the
President has willed them and guarded them.
Neutrality was this nations proper and
traditional attitude toward the struggle which
RACES IN Europe. It was adapted to our sit
uation, fitted to our needs and best designed
TO advance our material and moral interests
our relation to the war was not that Of
Greece. which could withhold intervention
only at the cost Of national honor and national
aspirations. We had no lot nor part in the
causes of the war, but 1t was, and is our
duty to consider the wars aftermath, when
the greatest of neutrals may come, as Lord
Bryce has said 'as the messenger of peace -
There is nothing inglorious in this attitude
save in the view Of the partisan The policy
Of neutrality, steadfast1y followed, offers
Its own incalculable opportunities of service
to the world
Something of the same thing is true Of
Mexico. Mr.. Wilson was determined to have
peace with that unhappy country even if he
had to knock Il few heads together in order
to obtain il. Time and time again he has
declined to permit Carranza to make a fool
Of himsef-at least irretrevably.
1t was no half-baked purpose which called
the National Guard to the colors and sent it
to the border. but a mere step in the Presi-
dents peace program. The inner truths
have hot been published as yet, because the
good of the country does not warrant or
approve their publication, but they will vim
dicate i'll time the Presidents policy. Speak
Ing to guardsmen on the border last Sunday,
General Funston said:
When history is written it will show
that the calling out of the guard in June
was no child's play: II was 4 matter
OF hours. The calling out Of the Ma
tional Guard was absolutely necessary.
All OF you will know why some day
OF course the President knows
1t is natural enough that the thousands Of
young men who are making constant sacri-
fees by remaining in service should be rest
less under this restraint, but they ought to
be consoled. ii not satisfied, by their COM
manding generals assurance their sacrifices
were and are, necessary. They deserve we'll
or their country in that they aided the Presi-
dents purpose TO maintain peace.

w now going on may be, the German effort

There will be no disappearance Of the threat
