WHAT TINE is AND DOES

Time is of all things in the world
the longest and the shortest, the
quickest and the slowest, the most
minute and the greatest, the most
neglected and the most regarded,
with which nothing can be done,
which devours all that is little and
gives permanent life to all that is
great.
Nothing is longer than time, be-
cause it is the measure of eternity;
nothing is shorter, it is insufficient for
all our plans; nothing is slower for
him who waits, nothing more rapid
for him who enjoys.
Time stretches out to the infinite
in greatness. 1t is infinite divisible
in littleness; all men neglect time
All regret it's loss. Nothing can be
done without time; it wipes out all
that is unworthy of posterity and
immortalizes great things.--Voltaire

SECRETARY OF WAR
GARRISON RESIGNS
President Refused to Urge Garrison's
Plan for Continental Army and
Compulsory Enlistment

ted to any plan to provide an army
reserve" and that he is willing to
discuss alternative proposals. He al
so informed the Secretary in letter
January 18th: 81 do not share your
opinion that the members of the
House, who are charged with the duty
of dealing with military affairs, are
ignorant of them or of the military
necessities Of the nation. On the con-
trary, / have found them well inform
ed and actuated by most intelligent
appreciation of the grave responsible
ties imposed upon them"
Briefly, Secretary Garrison has no
confidence in any plan than his own,
to which, as Secretary of War, he has
given good deal of thought, and no
confidence in Congress formulating
anything like an adequate military
system of defense. On the other hand
the President does not assume that
he is dictator to Congress as to what
plans it may adopt, but welcomes q
frank interchange of views and pa
tient and thorough comparison of all
the methods proposed for obtaining
the objects we all have in view"
This is all foreign to the militant
Mr.. Garrison's ideas and set opinions
and as the President courteously but
firmly declined to allow him to shape
the policy and course of the Admins
J tration, he rendered his resignation.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary of
War Lindley M. Garrison, and his as
sistant Secretary, Henry Brecken-
ridge, rendered their designations to
President Wilson on February 10th,
and they were reluctantly accepted.
Secretary Garrison is man of
set opinions with little compromise in
his makeup, and differences with the
President over the Administrations
military preparedness policy, caused
his retirement from the Cabinet.
Mr.. Garrison is a strong adherent
to his own plan of military prepared
ness, which includes a large conti-
mental army and compulsory enlist
ment plan. He urged the President
to take up his plan and place his
personal influence behind it to try to
force its adoption by Congress. He
declares that any other plan is illus
ory and inadequate, and gave the
President to understand that in his
opinion there is very little knowledge
and very little intense personal in
terest in any of the Congressman
concerning military affairs; that in
these circumstances it was the Pres
ident's duty to interpose his influence
and the force of his position in fa-
vor of the Secretary's plan.
The President gave Secretary Gar

uniformed in white, with olive drab gait

and drum major, the parade passed
through the principal streets to the
cheers Of hundreds.
The main address Of the evening was
given by Hon. Thomas D. Schall, con-
gresham from Minnesota. Mr. Schall is
blind, but it was not because of that
fact that he made such tremendous
impression as he did. The meeting was
held in Railroad square and the huge
audience that gathered was fairly sWayeti
by the wonderful eloquence of the speak
er. Those who heard the famous blind
orator declared that not in years had a
political speaker made such an impress
sion as he created. After talking for an
hour Mr.. Schall stopped, but hundreds
in the crowd exclaimed: Were not tired
please so on.'
Congressman Schall was formerly a
Progressive. In his speech he declared
that the overwhelming majority of his
associates had returned to the Republican
fold and that for anyone to do otherwise
would be political madness.
