ence while occupying all his odds and
ends of time in reaffirming the
Decalogue and mounting denuncia-
tions of all those who disagree with
him.
Roosevelt is a man Of words who
imagines himself a man Of action.
He is a first-class execrator and q
mighty poor executive. He mistakes
violence for emphasis and intensity
for reason. He understands all the
disorderly processes of history and
none of the orderly ones. His gen.
ius is essentially destructive. He is
a bull in the legislative chinashop.
He does not know the difference be-
tween indorsing a thing and accom-
plishing it. He is as out of place in
a constructive age as Herod's centur-
ion who went to Bethlehem would
have been in "better-baby" cam
paign.
And now that he has come and
gone, we beg to resume the order of
the working day, which is the sup
port of Wilson.-St. Louis Republic.

And the said Board, acting as view

NOT WHAT COLUMBIA WANTS

At patriotic housekeeping" ex-
hibit, Brighton, England, is an up
holstered easy chair made from a
barrel at cost of SO cents; and a
beadstead made from webbing
crossed on wooden frames which
took 10 hours to make and cost
$1.37; and a pile of petticoats,
waists, slippers, and caps for chill
dren made from discarded stocking
tops.
In this country social settlement
workers are often Jealous in teach
ing the poor similar economies. A
favorite scheme is that for furnish
ing a four-room fiat with Morris de-
signs, including everything from a
baby's crib to book case, made from
old packing boxes.
In England, in war time, such
economies may be laudable. But in
this country, at the present time,
this kind Of teaching can not be too
loudly condemned.
Certain forms of economy are
sensible; saving is always virtue;
but the willingness to go without the
common decent comforts of life pro-
duces loss of self-respect.
The lower the standard of living,
the lower the living wage"-and
the larger the profits of the capital
lists.
True patriotism in the United
States, at the present time, consists
in teaching the poor how to earn
money enough to buy better things,
and then how to take care of them,
once acquired.-Wichita Beacon.

EQUALIzING FLOW OF LABOR

The whole matter of benefiting
city boys whose natural bent is farm
work and making farm boys ac-
quainted with the actual conditions
they must face in the cities is pres
ent problem Of tremendous economic
Importance. The great development
and improvement Of farm machinery
has tided the situation over thus far,
but as our population increases and
demand for farm products keeps
pace, this question of equalizing the
flow of labor from country to city
and city to country will have to be
undertaken in systematic manner.
Already the farm help horizon has
frightened considerably, thanks to
the aid of improved machinery. Now
that the farm day can be shortened
and is robbed of much of its old-time
life-warping toll, the farm boy is
showing more disposition to weigh
country advantages before deciding
to forsake the farm.-Farm and
Fireside.

ROOsEyELT EGoTIsM

Rooseyelt's record is one of antag-
onism OF Congress and general help
lessness to get needed laws. Look at
the great questions that went over
untouched from Roosevelt's Admin
istfation: Tariff, currency reform,
conservatism, antitrust. legislation.
He appointed commissions galore
neglecting the formality of getting
any warrant from the law-making
power so to do. He talked anti
pork barrel" Just as he does today;
but no such practical measure as the
classification of public buildings
reform which lay within the Execu-
tive province and has been instituted
by Secretary McAdoo without aid
from Congress ever came of his de-
nunciations. He eyinced great pow
er to create popular discomfort with
Congress, but none whatever to focus
public opinion helpfully on construc-
tive legislative tasks, such as Presi-
dent Wilson has so abundantly dis
played. He held the Presidency dur
ing the years when group of patri-
otto men in his own party-the in
surgent Republicans-were opposing
the evil system which made possible
the Cannon machine; but he left
them without aid or comfort, for he
had no conception Of reform except
in one way-by personal power, ex-
erted lawfully or unlawfully, or by
smashing personal attack upon indi-
viduals.
We are told that Roosevelt, had he
been President, would have handled
certain crises much more vigorously
and wisely than has President Will
son. The only evidence abducted to
support this assumption is that now,
months and years after the events,
he says he would. Somehow this
does not seem very conclusive. And
then we are forced to face a further
difficulty. II Mr.. Roosevelt could be
elected there is no way in which we
could reproduce those crises, in or
der to permit him to display the pow
ers he declares he possesses. But, on
the other hand, there is no question
whatever that we need a great deal
of reconstructive legislation, such as
the Wilson Administration has al
ready given us in the fields Of tariff,
income tax, currency reform, anti
trust legislation, conservatism, army
We know that such activities are
wholly beyond Roosevelt's power not
only to achieve, but even to imagine.
He loves to picture himself, not
working shoulder to shoulder with
Congress, as President Wilson did in
tariff and currency revision, but brow

A big business is a steamship
bound for port called Success. II
takes large force of men to operate
this boat. Eternal vigilance is moi
only the price of liberty, but 1t is the
price of every other good thing, in
GLIDING steamboating.
To keep this steamship moving
the captain requires the assistance OF
hundreds Of people who have sin

sire to do the right thing and the
best thing in order that the ship
shall move steadily, surely and safe
" on her course,
z Curiously enough, there are men
constantly falling overheard. These
Folks who fall overheard are always
cautioned to keep away from danger
Gus places, still there are those who
delight in taking risks. These indi-
viduals who fall off, and cling to
floating spars, or are picked up by
passing craft, usually declare that
they were "discharged"-they say

rades had 1t in for them.

Cessful concern-he discharges him

When a man quits his work-say
Oiling the engine or scrubbing the
deck-and leans over the side calling
TO outsiders, explaining what a bum
boat he is aboard of, how bad the
food is and what fool there is for
captain, he gradually loosens his
hold until he falls into the yeasty
deep. Now, there is no one to blame
but himself, yet probably you will
have hard work to make him under

And the way the plank is tilted is
this: The man takes more interest
In the passing craft and what is 60

So l repeat: No man employed by

People often wonder why the
Springfield Business College is so
large when there are so many busi-
ness colleges. The answer is plain.
1t has the largest, best prepared
and most experienced faculty; its
courses of study are the best; 1t
uses up to date systems in every
department; its telegraph school
Is approved by the railroads, which
give its students preference; 1t
teaches the Gregg Shorthand, which
is taught in more schools and
studied by more pupils than all
others combined; 1t also teaches
the stereotype, the wonderful new
system Of machine shorthand; Its
system of bookkeeping Is not ex-
celled; 1t never makes a contract 1t
does not fulfill, its graduates are In
the greatest demand by large firms;
it has fewer dissatisfied patrons
than any other business college In
this section; Its graduates are life
members of the employment de.
partment, and are entitled to SER
vice as long as needed, Finally, 1t
gives its pupils more for their
money than they can Get else
