The Presidents Great Victory

President Wilson has won great and notable victory
in his first violent conflict with congress few days
ago it looked if the opposition in the senate and
house to his armed merchantmen policy would prove
serious greatly to hamper him in his dealings
with Germany if not to defeat his aims He felt the
pressure and doubtless received information from abroad
that led him to believe the division in his party
must be settled if his work through diplomats
channels were not to be rendered futile.
He demanded that the resolutions intended to
Americans to stay off Of armed ships owned by bel
lgerents, must be brought to vote at He would
accept "vOte of confidence in general terms, but
insisted that congress must commit itself way the
other the specific question. The senate Obedienty
voted and only IA members opposed the motion to
table senator Cores resolution of warning The vote
kills the Gore resolution and probably puts end 20
this particular fight in the upper house 1t is con-
dently expected that the house of representatives will
follow with like action, thus giving notice to Germany
and the world that opposition to the presidents policy
is limited to a small minority.
The debate nonpartsan. Republicans generally
stood by the president in the matter. The most
tona incident the statement by senator Gore that
he had it from "the highest and most responsible
thory" that the president had expressed to senators
and congressman the view that would probably
result from the present negotiations and that "a state
Of might be evil to this republic, but that
the United States, by entering upon now, might
be able to bring it 1.-THE European conflict to
clusion by midsummer and thus render great service
TO civilization"
Denial from the president and his friends in
gress not specific they might be. The pre7i-
dent has shown himself to be loose taker given to i'll
considered utteTances impulse. The country hopes
he has such idea as that III his mind.

The ministry used to be supported al
most wholly by relying upon divine
providence and the semi-annual dona-
ton party. but so many ministers
tainted during the last lap of the morn
ing sermon from lack Of uOurishment
that this practice was abandoned. It
has been succeeded by the free-wiu Of
fering in a pink envelope, and the re-
suit is that the minister now rides in
an automobile whenever the envelopes
come in fast enough to buy gasoline.
The envelope system has raised the
ministry from penury to affluence and
enabled many a minister's wife TO dress
like a human being.
The ministry does not look for its re-
ward in this life, but is sometimes sur
prised by the size of the marriage fee.
We should have better ministers if they
were paid with more regularity and en-
thusiasm, and the sermons would taste
better also.-Protected by the Adams

1T is admitted by CalifOrnians them
selves that California oranges and Cali
fOrnia grape fruit are inferior to the
Florida oranges and Florida grape
fruit, yet because of the simply marvel
Gus organization and scientific system
that the California Fruit Growers as
sociations have, California is able to put
il all over Florida in marketing her
fruit. although California fruit has to
go the entire way across the continent
and Florida is comparatively near the
main markets. Through the OrEaniza-
tons, all that the fruit growers have
to do is to cultivate their crops, the
fruit association to which the fruit
grower belongs, picks his fruit packs
it, ships IL to market, and sells it for
him for the best price possible. In this
way the association maintains a uni
formity of standards. So well are these
organizations managed that they are
equally strong at the eastern market
end. A car of fruit may leave California
for a given destination. but may be de-
toured en- route by wire for a better
market Through this arrangement,
California practically controls the fruit
markets. Ell Paso farmers have Califor-

Save the Babies Week

"Save the Babies" week beginning Saturday is IA
tiona institution, a nation wide movement to arouse
interest in infants their welfare and incidentally in
The mothers Of infants Inaugurated by the national
children's bureau the weeks program has mad wide
publicity, and millions Of pamphlets and newspaper
articles have appeared in connection with it Nearly
every organization of is cooperating, and
churches clubs schools, municipal and state govern
ments are helping to make the movement success
The principal object is to focus attention on the
needs Of BABY life and ways to improve the con
ditions under which babies reared, especially IN
their first days of existence The work of education
naturally goes back to the preparation of the expecln
mother that the born child may have the best
possible conditions for good start in life There is
much to the movement than merely an agency
for personal education-it is community education ina
its promoters after. Fit surroundings and living
conditions must precede and accompany any proper care
for the individual child.
Incidental to the national campaign, funds are
being raised everywhere for the support and promotion
of work being carried specially for saving the lives
of babies The effect of the concentrated effort eX
tending week and enlisting many individual
workers. will be considerable increase in the sum
of useful knowledge among the of people, and
degree of gain in the recognition of the rights Of The
baby.

That mice gnaw matches and cause fires has always
seemed more less of a superstition, like slipping

caused by mice gnawing matches that they carried
between the walls.
in the last fire which precipiated the report, five
lives as well the property were lost, so the moral
IS clear that keeping matches where mice cannot get at
