Newark, N. j., Nov. 29.-The body

Pennock's identity as the football
man was not learned here until some

right guard against Yale in 1914, and

all-American team.

A DIVIDED r

The ln~telligenccr refrained from
commenting on the socalled dramatic
Incident OF Thursdays proceedings in
the Senate because IL did not believe
that President Wilson ever expressed
himself on the international situation
done. The President himself has veri-
fed that belief by a fiat denial of the
Oklahoma Senator's statement. While
the question at issue is one OF a strict
ly ~non-partisan character the decided
division in the Democratic representa-
ton in Congress over a fundamental
principle involving the rights of Am
erican citizens cannot be overlooked.
The President has taken a strong but
wholly defensible position. TO recede
from which now would weaken our
whole case against Germany and
would involve US In controversies with
other nations that might be as serious
as or more serious than the one now
confronting us.
The decided views of "a large ele-
ment Of Democrats in opposition TO

the Democracy in shying az any con
crete construction measure and the
incapacity of that party 10 meet in a

where they are supported by the Re

servatioE OF the national honor ami
the conservation OF the just rights OF

NO NEW

The new school of economists which
has suddenly sprung up declares that
a tariff can effect exports may be
classed as a new discovery in political
economy. There Is no new revela-
ton in this declaration. It is axio-
matte that when a Democratic tariff
law permits the invasion OF our do
nestle market by the foreigner. TO
such an extent as to cripple the Am
erican producer. he Canno carry that
handicap and extend his foreign mar.
ket. This is why our export trade
declines with the increase OF our inn
port trade under a Democratic admin
istration. This is proven by the Demo
cratic administrations own figures.
and study Of statistics OF trade with
all those sections Of the world not In
volvcd I'm the war. Our export trade
with countries other than Europe fell

REMEMBER THE sIDINGs

A siding, as most of us know, is a
short piece Of track beside the main
line onto which trains may be
switched in times of congestion.
Both express and accommodation
trains may be run an a track that
has plenty of sidings. Trains may
even pass each other in opposite dir
ections if there are turnouts a-plenty
and engineers remember to use
thom. II is when they forget the
sidinos that the trouble begins.
Life would proceed for more hap
pilv for thousands if we remembered
that there are sidin9s also to be used
in the social intercourse Of men. We
ere often called to wait a bit on the
turnout It is because we so often
FORGET, or scorn TO so that collisions
occur.
We are surrounded every day by
people Of various tenDeraments. Of
strongly individual traits. and Of pur-
poses that NAV often run counter to
orr own. II is the easiest thing in
the world TO stir up dissension and
strife. n find ourselves at logger-
heads with peonle about us. There

tongs method Of getting things done
IF you are going at anything, 60 al
it hard" is familiar counsel, with its
evident truth and Importance. But
let us not 60 at even what is good SC
hard as to defeat our own righteous
ness of purpose. Be willing to study
different personalities and try TO un-
derstand them Each life has its right
and its wrong handle. Pull the right
one.
1t was said of a certain energetic
reformer that he would use a trip
hammer to kill the fly on mama's
nose" Surely the fly might have
been stunned at least by other meth.
DDS. Accuse no man of being moral
sidestepper who pauses in order to
understand the evil situation he il
try to correct. Intelligence and tact
full methods of handling have led to
the correction of abuses and to the
reform Of individuals when even bull
lets and clubs have failed. Be sure
that more lives have been loved than
have been licked into the kingdom Of
righteousness
There is another siding onto which
many need to- switch the life train
frequently, and it is named Patience.
The vigorous, capable, well-endowed
people should remember this little
piece of spur track when in contact
with the strugglers and the incompet-
ents with whom the roads of the
world are fairly crowded. Because
my clumsy, shifting engine only puffs
and crawls along is no reason why ii
should be showed into the ditch by the
flyer. Better provisioned engineers
should rather pause a moment beside
me to share their fuel and water.
The dull lad in school, the mer-
chants trying clerk, the pastors dis
appointing church meeting-all the
host who are making slow and heavy
work of the journey, these have a
claim on those of you who could run
express if you would, clearing the
track of all distractions. Character
is tested by ones conduct toward the
weak. In his disposition toward pat
lent forbearance with the faults of
those about him is the Christian man
TO be known.
1t is when we begin to exercise
tolerance and tact and patience to-
ward our fellows that we begin to APP
preciate the boundless patience of God
toward us all. Let us reflect that I'M
der any strict accounting our own
lives very likely are not paying decent
interest on the investment, above the
cost of maintenance and repairs. And
yet the heavenly Manager keeps US in
service. In honest moods one feels
as the Psalmist felt when he exclaim-
ed. "Thy gentleness hath made me
great"
