Where the President is Right
Bridgeport Standard.)

\brlOSepOrt Standard,)
 The great heart of the people beats on regularly and quietly notvith- standing the surface indications of disturbances and eruptions and revo- lutions. It is only the froth that foams and hisses and makes a noise like a great upheaval when it is not actually stirring anything but itself. When the great occasion comes then the popular pulse will be quickened and the answer of the people to the call will be unmistakablc., The little side issues and the small and com paratively unimpOrtart questions over which there has been much loud wrangling will be dropped and the one grand and united response Nill quench all lesser issues.
 This, we believe, is as true today as it has been all along in the history of the country, and President Wilson has never come nearer to expressing the whole truth and nothing but the truth than when he put his faith in the great strong. ultimate purpose to the young women of the National Service school recently. Two brief extracts from that address contain the substance of the whole and are undeniably correct
 1T have never had the slightest doubt of what would happen when America called upon those of her citizens born in other countries to come to the support of the flag. Why, they will come with cheers they will come with a momentum which will make us realize that America has once more been cried awake out of every sort of distemper and dream and distraction, and that any man who dares tamper with the spirit or America will be cast out of the con- fidence of a great nation upon the zn- stant.
 God forbid that we should be drawn into war! But if we should be, America would seem once more to shake herself out of dream to say, Did any man deem that we were asleep? Did any man deem that we had forgotten the traditions of Amer ica? Did any man deem that he could tamper with the honor or ln- tegrity of the United States? And in the great voice of rational enthusiasm which would be raised, all the world would stand once more thrilled to hear the voice of the New World asserting the standards of justice and of liberty.''
 The presidents faith in the people is, we believe. welt' founded and as he is able to find confidence and security in it's steadfast and dependable char acter under all the surface agitation, so we hope that he will be able to see that the people are for honor and right and justice whenever they are put forward as the qualities for which the nation stands. Therc is no call to submit these things to party lead CTS, or to hold publicitjos upon them, for they are of the eternal veriticS and the voice of the people will be found in such matters to he in har- monv with the voice of God.

Connecticut and Roosevelt
 (HartfOrd PoSt

If The Post knows anything about the temper of the Connecticut dele gation to the Republican National Convention in Chicago it believes it Is safe to say that anything to beat Roosevelt will be the policy of the Connecticut members.
 State Chairman Roraback, who is members of the delegation, was like wise a member four years ago and served on the credentials committee. afterwards relating how he sat up all night to assit in the process of steam rOllering Roosevelt delegates. What ever else may be said of MT. Rora back politically, he's no weather vane, where he takes his position there re stands, consistently. John T. King and Charles Hopkins Clark are also regulars of the type found in every state who will go to the shores of Lake Michigan prepared to resist the Oyster Bay Ternor until frost sets in in Hades Still another of the 1elega ton has stated within a week his opinion that the Republican party ought not to take Roosevelt under any circum- stances that it would be better for the party to nominate a strong, sound can- didate and take a beating with him in November if necessary: but to preserve it's self respect again the possibility of saying that it swallowed it's principles and took Roosevelt out of mere desire to win.
 These are the strong men of the delegation, with Colonel Ullplan, be- cause they are the politically active men. They are the men who will mould the sentiment of the others ra- ther than he influenced by the others and they will be found hostile to the Colonel to the last.
 It may be that Roosevelt will be nominated, although that seems less likely than a fortnight ago, but it seems safe to predict that unless g. tremendous avalanche of sentiment toward the Colonel sets in the Con- necticut fourteen will be uncomprom- ising so long as that attitude possesses any virtue.

The Two Prayers.
-(F,rom Harper's WeekIy.)

-(From Harper's Weekly.) A youth stood with uplifted arms and
 faced the rising sun. 70 God" he prayed, with earnest
 eyes, ere my short day be done, o God of power, grant me power! O
 God of strength, grant me
 strength To forge my way to. fame, to claim a conqueror's crown at length. Till when deaths shadow creeps a-near my name may show on
 high
 Peerless amid earth's mightiest-then could I gayly die!" A man, still strong but tanned by care. by tcmpering sorrow tried, Knelt. ere he slept, in humbleness, a spirit purified. "Grant, God of Love-" he murmur4d low, grant me the power 10 love,
 The power to Iiehten tired hearts. the power cold hearts to move, The sense compassionate. and ere my working sou takes flight, Let mo forget myself, to wake sunv startled by Thy light"

PEACE PROPOSALS.

That part of the German note which states that twice within the last few
 months the German government "announced before the world it's
 readiness to make peace on a basis safeguarding Germany's vital inter-
 ests, thus indicating that it is not Ger
 many's fault if peace is still with
 held from the nations of Europe'' has
 been seized upon by writers the world
 over as a prediction of peace in the
 near future. Reading between the
 lines, it is argued that Germany
 stands ready to make other offers
 aiming toward an end of the war. On
 top of this the Pope's message to the
 President of the United States which
 many think presages a way out of the difficulty seems to foreshadow an attempt to get the nations together. Emperor Wilhelms autograph letter to Pope Benedict on the occasion of the Easter festival is also significant.
 After all these things are considered then, 1t is interesting to turn to the British reply to the charges in the German note to the effect that Great Britain has violated international law in the matter of the present blockade of Germany. This reply was made in the form of semi official statement issued Saturday night by Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockade and Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He answers that part of the German note which speaks of peace, in this fashion:-"It may be that the Germans want peace. If so it is because they fear defeat It may be that they want to appear peaceful. For us it matters not Our at any rate is unchanged. l We drew the sword unwillingly. 1 We shall sheathe it gladly. But we should be untrue to our trust, we should be betraying civilization if we abandoned our task until we have -esta blished in Europe the suprem- acy of law, the sancity of treaties and the right of all nations, great and small, to live their lives. to fulfill able menace of Prussian militarism.''
 Seemingly, there is not much hope for peace if the Under Secretary's utterances may be taken as the off, cial sentiment of Great Britain. These words were not spoken in haste. h. stead, they are the measured words of a man who has given the subject much thought. And, as they come in ain itself, 1t may be reasonably sup posed that peace on Germany's terms will not be acceptable. It would seem that wisdom would tell all the nations at war that an early peace in a most desirable state. The two combined opposing forces arc surely in deadlock, as near as this condition can be approached. The further prolonging of hostilities mere Iy means the terrible sacrifice of men and money, with nothing gained. Just how many wonderful men have been killed to date there is no way of knowing. In money, some fifty billion dollars have been spent. And after it is all over the people of all the
 countries will look back upon it all and say, just as we do in recalling our
 own Civil war, What a pity, what q shame"

Antedating Creation.

A nohleman, talking to an Amer ican friend about the antiquity of his family, was told roughly that he was "a mere mushroom" How Is that" he asked, indignantly.

About this time the world was created.'

When neither of two men wants to begin a fight there is always a pos sible way out of it, and generally a graceful and satisfactory way. This is a principle which we believe will be recognized by everybody as in- controvertible. When neither of two nations wants to break friendly re- lations with the other is the case different.-New York Sun.

JACK BARRYMORE IN.
Ills BIGGEST THRILLER
Famous Players Star Plays
Would Be Thief in "The
Lost Bridegroom"

If he had been a regular ten twenty

have said. Hold! If you strike that
woman you do 1t at your peril, Red
Mike!" But being BERTHE Joyce in the
Famous Players Film company's THE
Lost Bridegroom" which is the Para
mount picture at the Isis theater this
week. Barrymore simply swung for the
thugs jaw as he attempted to hit Dor
othy Hardin, and started battle which
ended very suddenly on the floor Is
steps below. There Joyce lay stunned
by the fall down the whole flight of
stairs.
About one week before this memoir
able fight, Joyce was to have married
Dorothy. In fact he had already cele-
brated his bachelor dinner. Thereby
hangs the tale. For 1t was while re-
turning from the dinner that Joyce was
hit on the head by two hold-up men
and SO badly injured that he lost his
memory. In addition to his memory,
the thugs also deprived him of his
money, his dress coat and his overcoat,
but they SHE'D at his tall hat.
Still suffering from the effects of the
blow. Joyce lies down on pier, sleeps
soundIy. and falls into the water.
Clambering out. he removes his dress
shirt. wrings 1t out and then carefully
placing it over his arm, puts on his top
hat and strolls into the first saloon that
meets his dazed eye. The place hap
pens to be the headquarters of a gang
of thieves and they are bent on throw
ing the new arrival into the street IN
til the proprietor's daughter persuades
them to look him over more thoroughly.
1t is finally decided that he would be a
good man to train up as a gentleman
burglar
Having read of the tremendous
amount of wedding presents received
by Dorothy Hardin, and never suspect
ing the identity of Joyce. they appoint
him as one of three to steal the we'd
ding gifts. Thus it is that he gets into
the fight with the thug who attacks
Dorothy when she interrupts the crooks
at their work But he has not recog-
nized Dorothy and never knows any
thing about his life in the underworld
when very minor operation complete
ly restores his memory.
1.-THE Lost Bridegroom" is one of the
funniest and by far the most thrilling
film in which even Jack Barrymore has
ever appeared The picture was pro-
duced under the direction of James
Kirkwood. Among the cast gathered
in support of Barrymore are Katherine
Harris, Ida Darling, June Dale, Hardie
Kirkland, Edward Sturgis, and others
who are equally well known.Adv.
