DESCENT FROM DIGNITY.

i DISPATCHES from Washington state that
president Wilson is ssnettled'' at the tone OF
1.-THE British memorandum anent mail seizures.
[ He is ruffled by implied criticism Of his
| methods in diplomacy and he lis ready to
press the case even though results be not forth
coming. =
We hope there is some mistake about this.
The attitude described is so undignified and so
petty that it hurts us to think president of
the United States has fallen into it True, we
have precedent episodes upon which to base ex-
pectation that personal petulance may supplant
national interests In dealing with matters Of
national policy. The treatment of Huerta is a
case in point But muddling in Mexico, serious
though it be, is not so risky as Stiffness In
negotiation with first class power.
The fact is that. whatever the real merits Of
the mail seizure issue, the British foreign Office
seems to have caught our state department
mapping as regards incidental details The
matter might be much better left to Secretary
Lansing and Ambassador Page to smooth over.
The alleged purpose of Mr.. Wilson to press
something or other, whether results be forth
coming or not is alarming. It seems to point
toward humiliation, if not positive injury.
Why should the United States press any
point that it cannot or Will not enforcei This
is what we have done with Mexico. This is
what we have done with Germany. This is
what we have done with Austria. This is what
We are doing over the open door issue in China.
Are we to add tangle with England to our ar
ray of diplomatic misfortunesi
Let us hope not. We have grievance or we
haven't IF none, we should keep quiet If
we have one we should define it clearly and &C I
curately, not blunder over it. When we are
sure of our wrong and have defined it, Jet us
spare no word or act to secure redress. We
should not buster.

JOYS.

You needn't be rich to be happy,
You needn't be famous TO smile.
There joys for the poorest OF toilers
II only he'll think them worth while.
There are blue skies and sunshine a-pleoty.
And blossoms for all to behold;
And always the bright days outnumber
The dark and the cherries and cold
Sweet sleeps not gift OF the wealthy,
And loves not alone for the great:
For men to grow old and successful
It isn't joys custom to wait
The poorest of toilers has blessings
His richer companions may crave;
And many man who has riches
Goes sorrowing to the grave.
You'll never be happy tomorrow
II you are not happy today;
II you're missing the joys that are present
And signing for joys far away,
The rose viii not bloom any fairer.
In the glorious years that may be
Great riches won't sweeten its fragrance
Nor help you its beauties to see.
Today IL the time to make merry,
IT'S folly for fortune to wait:
You'll not find the skies any bluer
II ever you come to be great.
You'll not find your joys any brighter,
No matter what fortune you win:
Make the most Of HES sunshine this minute,
TouorTow's too late to begin.

BUSINESS IS RUSHING

According to advices received here
by officials OF the Burlington rail-
road, 1t will be operated under a new
code of train rules and signals COM
mencing August LIST.
The Burlington system Is one OF
294 lines that will adopt the new
/ code Of train rules, which will be
standard throughout the country.
For many years the railroads have
operated each under its own set Of
rules and signals, similar In their
general aspect, but different in detail.
The new rules will greatly systen1a-
tie the work of dispatching on all
the roads affected.
Burlington trainmen will have little
difficulty in mastering the new book
Of rules, the standard set being prac-
tically the same as the set now in
use by the Burlington system. The
new rules have been thoroughly gone
over by local officials and trainmen
and the change from the old to the
new system will be made on the first
Of the month with little inconyeni-
ence to the trainmen affected.
Telephones on Train.
The Burlington last week ran a
special train from st. Paul to Chi.
cago, carrying party of Shriners to
Ia convention at Buffalo, which was
completely equipped with telephones
in every car and every berth. The
train was composed of twelve cars,
including diner and a car equipped
for band concerts. The telephones
were installed by the Tri-State Tele-
phone company Of ST. Paul and Min
neapolis, and the exchange was OF
the automatic type.
Business is Rushing.
Business on the Burlington has
been rushing during the past week,
due to the fact that coal and wheat
haul has commenced. There is a cry
all over the road for cars in which
to haul wheat. So far the company
has been able to supply the demand,
but it is likely that before many days
have passed that there win be a short
age of rolling stock.
Big Headlights for Engines.
The interstate commerce commits
sion issued an order on June 10, re-
quirfng that locomotives in road SER
vice between sunset and runrise be
equipped with a headlight sufficient
ly powerful to enable persons in the
locomotive cab to see an object the
size of a man for a distance Of 1000
feet or more ahead, under normal
weather conditions. Locomotives re-
quired to run backward In road ser
vice must have rear headlight of
the same type, and those used in
yard or terminal stations will be re-
quired to carry two lights strong
enough to make a man-sized object
visible at distance Of 300 feet or
more. The order is made applicable
to all new steam locomotives and put
in service after October i, 1916, and
to others given general overhauling
before that date. All engines now in
service must be equipped with the
lhigh-power lights not later than 1920.

Marshalltown Times Republican |:
