Of the Old World OF Europe Not
Il single stock OF Europe has failed
to contribute to the variety OF America.
and out OF this varied stock we have
TO compound something that Is now
part Of Europe and is only part. and
we love.
We had u program for Areerica In
respect Of it's domestic life. and wc
shall not forget that program: but we
have never yet sufficiently formulat cd
our program for America with regard
TO the part she Is going to play in
the world. and II is Imperative that
! she should formulate II at once.
I'm making that program. what arc
we to say to ourselves. and what arc
we going to say to the world? 1t is
very important that the statesmen of
other parts OF the world should under
stand America. America has held off
from the present conflict with which
the rest of the world is ablaZc. not be-
cause She was not interested, not be-
cause she was Indifferent, but because
! the part she wanted to play was a
different part from that.
ORIGIN AND OBJECTS
NEVER DISCLOSED
The singularity OF the present war
Is that it's origin and objects never
have been disclosed. They have OBJ
scure European roots which we do not
kno" how to treat. SO great con-
I fict could not have broken out IL the
Under had not been there, and the
I spark in danger of falling at any time
| we were not the finder. The spark
I ala not come from US. 1t will take
/ IN: long inquiry of history to explain
/ this war. But Europe ought not to
hisundcrstand us. we arc holding off
/ not because we do not feel concerned
bat because when We exert the force
or this nation we want to know wha,
we arc exertinG for.
/ We want always to hold the force
/ OF America to fight for what? No,
merely the rights Of property or ma
/ tionai ambition. but for the rights OF
! mankind.
Now the tombstone is this: on our
f, own part absolute singleness OF heart
| OF purpose. is our allegiance to Amer
lea and then Justification Of tina,
allegiance to America by holding the
doctrine that is truly America, that the

SO that when we look forward &c

ed $40 and a cheap suit and told,
GO, my boy, and be a man." He
has a fine chance to make a man Of
himself, hasn't he?
This is what a man is up against
with judges empowered to juggle
with the liberty, even the life, of Z
poor man who is unfortunate enough
to get into the clutches of the law.
And while this condition of affairs is
condoned by society, just so long will
the number of gunner, etc., be ever
on the increase.
It would seem that innocent men
are never arrested, that if you are
brought into court you are guilty of
something or else you would not be

CRIMINALS.

CRIMINALS. - There is a great
clamor in the press because the city
is OveTTun with gunner and crooks
and the buck is passed to the police
force.
What good does it do any city that
is Overrun with crooks to have a
good police force when one judge can
make more confirmed crooks by his
unjust methods in one term of court
than 20 efficient police forces can
cope with in a decade of superhuman
effort?
If sO-caIled refOFmers and alleged
criminOlOgists are interested in get
ting at the truth as to why there is
so much crime, their time could be
proftably spent in watching methods
of some judges who are supposed to
be neutral in trying criminal cases.
It would seem that punishment Of
a criminal would be to reform him
and return him to society as a decent
citizen. But the man is returned to
society with the thought that he has
been handed the double cross" and
he feels justified in collecting back
salary"
And while he was in prison did he
learn a trade so that when released
he would be able to earn a decent
living? No!
Was his dependent family taken
care of during his Incarceration?
When finally released he was hand

wrong in cOndemning T. Roosevelt
for betraying the Progressive party.
In the first place, Roosevelt jumped
into it because he thought the wave
would lift and carry him to the White
House. He never was sincere about
the ideals of the party. Before the
end of his first term he considered
himself king, and ever after his
thought was the end that would keep
him on top.
His recent action was not a be-
trayaL 1t merely showed the fellow

Although the expected return of the

parently has put a check on the plans
for the big auto show which is sched-
uled to open there, Saturday night,
January q, in reality the work OF pre-
pairing for the show is going ahead
steadily.
There will be nothing to prevent the
show opening on the date decided
upon. for the troops will be mustered
out of the national service by that
time and there will be little attempt
made to work the men strenuously
until they have a little relief from
regular soldiers duty.
Many predict that the commanding
officers will have hard work to get
the boys to re-enlist in the militia.
but these stories always follow a tour
OF duty which Is more than usually
hard. The men have had a fine trip
to the South. have had to work hard,
to be sure. but the trip to the border
has been beneficial in more than one
way. 1t has given them a chance to
see the country and find out what real
soldering is like. Army men who
