"a Vote for Wilson is a Vote for
Secretary of the Navy
Daniels"

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25-"A vote
FOR Wilson is vote for Daniels"
This is one OF the most frequently
heard battle cries OF the present presi-
Dental campaign. It is not, however,
the slogan OF proud, self-glorify-

The reelection of Mr.. Wilson
would confide the navy, with its crit
ically important new building pro
gram, TO Daniels for four more years,
and only the defeat of Wilson can be
depended upon to rescue the navy
from the blight of the Daniels pol
icies.
There are those who hoped for the
sake of the navy and the nation that
Daniels could be goaded into resign

in response to an inquiry at one time

HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLE

In the House of Too Much Trouble
Lived lonely little boy
He was eager for a playmate,
He was hungry for toy,
But twas always too much bother.
Too much dirt and too much noise
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor
or forgot and laughed too loudly.
or he failed TO close the door
In a House Of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In a House OF Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playthings
He must never romD and play:
Ev'ry room must be In order
And keep quiet all the day;
He had never had companions
lie had never owned a pet
In the House OF Too Much Trouble
It Is trim and quiet yet.
Ev'ry room Is set IN order
Every book is In its place.
And the lonely little fellow
Wears a smile upon his face
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
He Is silent and at rest
In the House of Too Much Trouble.

Germany the FatherIand

Worlnmen's compensation and health in.
surance are two among several divisions of
social insurance. The comprehensive scheme
of social insurance established in Germany
by William l and the Iron Chancellor has
markedly increased the national vitality and
efficiency. Germany is the fatherland of
social insurance. Every country in Europe
except Turkey has workmen's compensation.
Ten have compulsory health insurance.
few years ago the idea of social insurance
in this country was novelty. 1t was almost
joke. The public attitude has radically
changed AS Professor Lindsay of Columbia
says; 1.-THE psychology of America is dis.
tinctly indvidualistic For reasons growing
out of American conditions we have been
generally slow to take up social legislation.
Each man for himself was the slogan to be
expected in a new country of boundless re-
sources and opportunities The greater pros
perity of our wage-earners. and the bounti-
full way in which the social surplus has
been shared with the less fortunate through
private charity, have helped to maintain this
individualistic point of view. But when this
country has once perceived that a given
problem is not merely individual, but social
it has moved with astonishing rapidity,"
Social insurance has its basis in good
economics, as individual insurance has it's
basis in good business. Economics is no
longer "the dismal science" It is actively
engaged in the work of human conservation.
