THE MOLE WASN'T
ALWAYS BLIND

Disuse is misuse. A rusty saw
soon loses its bite Neglect ruins more
machinery than wear and tear. I'm
employed faculties, as well as tools,
quickly deteriorate. When you're out
of condition you're out of competi-
ton.
There's no security in playing safe.
Continue to avoid chances and after
while they'll avoid you. There's no
prospect for the man without faith
in his own, powers. The biggest risk
is in never taking one. Large win
nings begin with small losings. Con-
fidence springs from the knowledge
of recuperative strength.
Character exercises itself upon re-
Bluffs. The hardest fall is the first ;
we all start out with an ingrained
fear of failure but after we once land
with bump and recover our balance
the next uncertainty Is less formid-
able
A baby would never walk If it quit
trying after one fall-down. Go out
and watch a fiedgling make its trial
flight. It's afraid of the distance to
the ground, but the wise old hen
bird knows from her own experience
that wings. won't work until they are
used, and keeps urging her chick un-
til it overcomes the dread of tumb-
| ling.
Fly at it, You can't earn a big
share until you learn to take big
/ dare. Anybody who expects to di-
rect even little group of his fellows
must first demonstrate, through past
| performances, the ability to face new
1 situations without hesitation.
All positions of responsibility de-
mand resource, originality and self
reliance
Life is struggle. The mole tried to
avoid that fight be remaining out OF
sight, and now he must keep under
ground--he is unable to survive in
world for which he is no longer
equipped. Once he had all his senses
he grew blind by staying in the
dark.

SENSE IN movie" CENSORSHIP

The motion picture producers are
to be congratulated on their substi-
tute for the Hughes Federal CEN
sorship bill, before the House Com
mittee on Education. The measure
they propose incorporates the fea-
lures Of a just censorship and more
than meets the desires of people
who believe there should be super
vision Of picture plays. The max
srs of pictures who propose the
new measure have done more than
the reformers who insist on eradi-
cation of scenes and plays that do
not meet their personal approval.
They have done more for the rea-
son that they have more at stake.
The cutting and trimming of pic
ture plays, or the suppression of
productions, to conform to the moral
views of people who would become
the jailers rather than the guides
Of their brothers consciences, means
a positive financial loss to the film
magnates. 1t is easy for a person
who has no financial interest at
stake to suppress this or that scene
or story or painting; it is another
thing for the man who has spent
thought and time and money to see
the fruits destroyed in so offhand
fashion.
It should be remembered that the
man with the big idea is very often
entirely honest in his effort to pre-
sent it in the most forciful or the
most beautiful manner possible ac-
cording to his estimate of what is
thoughtful and beautiful. On the
other hand, there are people who
view any artistic production with
prurient eye, and yet others who are
disposed to pander to that prurient
taste. Both these classes are en-
titled to vigorous attention.; and the
moving picture people, in their sub
stitute measure, recognize this con-
dition.

Officials Believe Pouches From
U. S. Diplomatic Agents Will
Not Be MoIested Again.
LANSING ASKS EARLY ACTION
English Practice Of Censoring
American Mails Is Opposed
in Vigorous Note.

Secretary OF State Lansing said today
that the United states Government will
wait a reasonable time for the prom
ised reply from Great Britain TO the
American protest on mail seizures be-
fore proceeding further.
Meanwhile, officials believe that the
pouches OF Americas diplomatic repre-
sentatives will be exempted from moles-
tation. The strongest language in the
American protest, the text OF which
was given out last night, was directed
against this practice.
The American note specifically mem
tions the removal OF 73l bags of parcel
post mail from the steamer United
States and 5S7 bags of parcel mali on
the steamer Frederick, destined to Scan
dinavian ports, together with SO bags OF
parcel post mail on the steamer Stock
holm and 5000 packages of merchandise.
American property, on the steamer
navian ports to the United States.
"MaiIs Not To Be Censored"
Removal OF all mails. including
sealed mails and presumably the AmerI-
can diplomatic and consular Dispatcher
from the Dutch steamer New Amster-
dam on December %, and the removal
from the Dutch steamer Doorder Dyke
of American mail from the United
est protest. The ,Noorder Dyke mails
are still held up.
Modern practice generally recog-
niZes that mails nre not to lie censored
seas even when carried by belligerent
ships" the American protest says.
ITO attain the same enN by bringing
such mail ships within Sritish jliris-
then subjecting them to local regula-
tions allowing censorship OF malls can
not be juEtifed on the grounds OF ma
tional jurisdiction"
in no wise responsible fer the transit
or safety of mails on neutral ships
which merely touch at British ports
and therefore have no right to remove
or censor such mails.
''As a result of British action" the
note says, ''strong feeling is being
aroused in this country on account OF
the loss of valuable letters, money
are refusing to. cash American drafts
owing to the absence of Gny security
that the drafts viii travel safely in
the mails.
Prompt Action Urged.
Moreover the detention of diplomatic
and consular mails is an aggravating
circumstance in a practice which is
generally regarded In this country as
vexatiously inquisitorial and without
compensating military advantage TO
Great Britain"
Ambassador Page is directed to ruaks
vigorous protest, press for a discon-
tinuance Of these unwarranted inter-
ferences with inviolable mails" and to
impress upon Sir Edward Grey the ne
cessity for prompt action.
Objections to parcel post seizures are
based on the same grounds as objec-
tions to seizures of American express
and freight shipments. The protests
against seizure and detention of such
cargoes, through refusal OF the United
States to recognize the British block
ply with equal force to parcel post
The ad interim reply of the British
government says that Great Britain Is
consulting with the French government
and will make an early reply to the pro-
test of the United States Government.

FROM BATTLE TO INDUSTRY

One flank of the Wilson Admin
istration organs, "organing" indie
pendently of the other flank, persist
emily declares it an axiom that after
the war we cannot be flooded with
foreign products because labor will
be scarce in Europe and taxes high.
How's that? Twenty million able
bodied men who ought to be eco
nomic creators are now armed de-
strOyers. The products of many
more than twenty million not under
arms are merely turned over to those
under arms for destruction. Thus
there are twenty million not only not
themselves producing but wiping out
the production Of more than twenty
million others as it is sent to them
on the battlefelds to be blown out of
existence.
Taxes in Europe are certainly high
now to carry on the war, higher than
they ever will be after the war. But

THE VISITING NURSES WORK

In nearly every large industrial
community there is now some sys-
ten of industrial nurses. The Fed
eral Government, the largest en-
ployer in the Capital, has no such
provision for the health of its en-
ployes. 1t has remained for pri-
vate enterprises to supply this need.
Hitherto the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, in this city, has been
regarded as an instrument for the
use of the very poor only. For the
last six months this society has
been trying to dispel this idea. 1t
has carried into churches, before
citizens associations, and to clubs
its message of a desire to extend
its services to those Independent
families of slender means who can
not afford to have a resident nurse.
Many of those who can afford such
q nurse have no place to room her,
and do not need her continuous
services.
In New York, in Boston, in
Pittsburgh, and in other cities, the
visiting nurse is called upon by per-
sons in all walks of life. There is
no stigma of poverty attached to
her visits. She fulflls a need of
about 80 per cent of a city's popu-
latiOn. 1t has often been said that
the very rich and the very poor are
assured of competent medical atten-
ton, and that it is the great middle
class that suffers. 1t is this class
the Instructive Visiting Nurse So
ciety of this city is now trying to
reach.
This society comes before the
public with no plea for funds. 1t
asks no aid; it simply desires to
serve. At it's annual meeting, next
Thursday ,at Rauscher's, it will out
line this new policy and invites the
public to hear its plans.
Continuing it's present service to
the poor, and widening it's scope to
those who can afford to pay a little,
but not much; the society should be-
come as important a factor in con-
serving the health of this city as
have such agencies as the diet
kitchens and clinics.
The Washington times., 1916-01-28

with taxes so high as they are and
with labor so diverted to war as II is,
the volume Of our imports from bell
ligerents as from others swells and
swells. For the week ended jan
uary % they reached, at the thirteen
principal customs districts Of the
United States, the prodigious total
Of $42, ,661, 1882.
Now, when all those under arms
and all those now producing merely
to supply those under arms get back
to the fields Of industry, producing
not for sheer destruction but for
economic use, how can It be that
there will be labor shortage?
On the contrary, with this sudden
return Of millions from the fields Of
battle to the fields of labor and the
equally sudden translation of millions
from producing war supplies to pro-
ducing, or wanting to produce, peace
supplies, how shall there not. be more
men than jobs, more groups of men
than industries, a very glut of labor?
When there are all these tens Of
millions of men seeking labor in the
fields of peace-not only the occupa-
tion of the soldier gone, but the
occupation of the man who supplied
the soldier gone as well-how> shall
it fail to be that these men, to keep
body and soul together, will work for
anything they can get?
How shall it fail to be that their
cheap-labOr products coming over
whelmingly into the markets where
they will sell to the best advantage
our markets-shall drive out our
own dear-labor products and send
our own wage-earners off the pay
rolls?

Declares New Uniforms Are Fl
nancial Hardship To Firemen.


TO the Editor Of THE TINES:
through the columns of your paper
you have done a lot for the working
clesses Of our city. Please consider
this:
The firemen are obliged to buy these
elaborate new uniforms on a salary OF
little more than a laborers pay. This
Is great imposition on these men.
Ihey suffer enough hardships without
being tortured with high standing col
lars. The added expense incident to
the purchase OF these uniforms will re-
Suire the firemen to be paying for them
Tor at least seven months, fGf which
the tiremen and their families will have
10 suner. This fire department has
uone its work we'll for years, and II
mas not been necessary to dress the men
,up and decorate them with service
stripes and gold.
The change of the ttyle OF uniforms
VIII leave the members of the depart
ment with no less than 1000 good uni
forms of the old style on their hands,
with practically no chance to wear
them.
The greatest injustice has been done
to the chiefs Of the department by hav-
Ing an inspection board, which Is COM
posed Of captain and private, who
nave the authority TO inspect all cloth
ms anu can Oruef tnelT bupeIIoT OIll-
GERS to get new uniforms when they
think they need them In no other
city in the United States is such
thing done, that is, placing a subor
dinate in a position where he can order
his superior officer to get a new uni
form and pass on 1t as to whether II
fits.
The new uniforms should have been
issued November 1 for the men to
wear. but. owing to the large number
of misfits and several other delays.
some of the men have been obliged to
accept their uniforms whether they fit
or not, IL they hope to get any benefit
out OF them before the winter In over.

Asks If Teacher Did Not DenOunce
Peace Talk.


To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Parent" certainly cannot complain
that all the teachers at Western favor
peace" talks or peace takers.
Didn'A one of the teachers denounce
the lecturer in question In no uncertain
terms? SS / am informed. And didn't
another teacher give as a study play
called king Henry "" written by one
William Shakespeare. in which one OF
the dramatis personae. Prince Dauphln,
says: (See act scene IV)
"It is most meet we arm us 'gainst the
foe;s
For peace itself should not so dull a
kingdom.
CThough war. nor no known quarrel
were in question:.
But that defenses, musters, prepara-
tions,
Should be maintained. assembled and
collected,
As were a war in expectation"
do not know that that particular
play was given to the class with malice
aforethought, but 1t is safe to say the
teacher had read II.
Don't worry, Parent" western is
all right on preparedness. pc
