A New Understanding.

A new meaning seems to have come
into Memorial Day. for the younger
generations Of this country. The vol
umes daily published in recent months
of the anguish across the seas, is
more vivid portrayal to the young OF
what this country once suffered than
all the histories printed And the men
Who survived the hardships of those
days of horror are looked upon in
new light.
Today, with these survivors we
honor the comrades who gave up their
lives on the field or have since Joined
the ranks Over There" new ten
ton of veteran and young civilian, in
spite of the years that have passed and
the fading Of memories. Today we
better understand, for on every HAND
we read of what other brave men are
undergoing in the name of patriotism.
With these white haired men in the
blue coats, we reverently and affec-
t:onately honor their DEAD brothers
Cur fathers and uncles and grand
fathers. 1t is a beautiful custom that
We have established. and today We
have a new appreciation of it, awak-
ened, quite probably, by new under
standing of the meaning Of war and of
hat these men went through in the
sixties; and perhaps in some measure
by the shadowy form of another con-
ti.ct lowering over US
For many years before the period of
frightfulness that robbed us of the
men whose graves we decorate today,
as nation we had refused to prepare
against the possibility of war. We did
not fear Europe: we did not fear our
selves. We foresaw no war. and we
refused to guard against something be-
yond our view and which NIGHT al
ways remain out of sight. That lack
Of foresight and preparation cost us
many thousands Of precious lives.
broken homes, indesoribab BILE suffering
in mind and body. and untold treasure.
Today we pay tribute to the bravery
Of the men who gave their lives, their
national folly.
Today We understand the cost of
war. the pain of war. the meaning of
war, as we have not in a generation.
Today we face the awful truth tina.
the crying Of peace: peace" does not
abolish war: that the pledges Of ma
tions. one 20 another are worthless:
that in the very hour when we are pro-
claiming an advancement beyond the
folly Of war, then war, without warn
ing, blasts civilization and gives the
sic to all our peace naunGerings
Today, is we pay tribute to our
dead heroes. we see more clearly the
need Of preparedn : in the spirit of
1.-The Christ in order that the hosts of the
devil do not stampede us. The price
of liberty and of our sacred rights is
eternal preparedness. We insure our
health in readiness for sickness, our
lives for the care of those whom we
leave behind, our spiritual future that
the well done may he conferred upon
us. We must insure our sacred rights
as a people against the greed and the
Jealousies of those who MAY come
with great armies ana navies.
With our hands clasping those of
ttls pltlful remnant os the ranks of 81,
let US pledge ourselves anew to the
preservation of nation that is all
these veterans hoped for when they
offered their lives to save it from greed
and dishonor.

Abraham, LineoIn's Tariff Policy.

The following was the Republican
party's tariff plank in the platform o.
1860:
That while providing revenue for
the support Of the general govern
ment by duties upon imports, sound
policy requires such an adjustment
of these imposts as to encourage
the development Of the industrial
interests Of the whole country; and
we commend that policy Of national
exchanges which secures to the
workingman liberal wages. to ag-
riculture remunerative prices, to
mechanics and manufacturers an
adequate reward for their Skill Ia
Dor and enterprise, and to the ma
ton commercial prosperity and in
dependence"
It is not true. as President Wilson
has asserted, that the Republican par
ty has not had new idea In 30 years
but we challenge him to run for re-
election on a tariff. policy that direct.
ly challenges the Republican tarin
policy as expressed IS years ago.

THE PURPOSE OF
COLLEGE WORK

Formerly there was a goo,, deal OF
distinction in sending a boy to col.
lege. Taking these higher courses
of study was an exceptional thing.
The whole town watched the student.
He was looked at as scholastic
wonder. 1t was assumed he had lit.
erary and bookish tastes, and he was
considered as designed for a learn
ed profession.
The crowd that enters college por.
tails today is different. The number
Of those seeking college degrees is
multiplied many times. There is a
herd Of rich mems sons. To many
Of these and some others as well,
study is mere side issue. 1t Is an
unpleasant feature of the course, to
be evaded as far as possible.
With great numbers of students,
the dominating motive is to engage
in athletics and enjoy social life.
With even more, the motive is to
make money. The idea has become
widespread that the college man
earns better pay. The old scholastic
ideals are gone with the traditional
burning of midnight oil.
Yet the change is not wholly bad =.
Athletics and social life have their
high values. This mingling and con-
flict of personality serves valuable
ends. The boy may learn more hu.
man nature, more art of executive
management, in his campus and fra
ternity life, than any professor can
teach him.
The great trouble is that prevail.
ing tendencies encourage young men
to undervalue the experience of the
ages. They may make successes in
business even IL they neglect their
studies. But they can not be turned
out broadly educated citizens, unless
they apply themselves diligently to
the search after wisdom. After all.
that Is what the college is chiefly for
When It turns out mere money get
tiers, 1t misses the purpose for which
its endowments were created.

n small investor is tempted to draw
savings out of the bank, where they
are now earning an inglorlous four
per cent, and take q flier.
But like the war munition business
It's case in which fools rush in
where angels fear to tread The big
dividends suggest that the price OF
motor cars has not yet reached hard
pan. It is universal rule in business
that big profits can not continue In
definitely. Large gains stimulate
competition. The cream has been
taken off Those who went in early
have grown fat Those that go in
now may fare on skim milk.
There is a rush of new concerns in
to the business. It has been a gold
en- field. Ambitious foremen and

vest. Many new companies will be
formed to struggle for the spoil.
Heretofore a car two or three years
old lacked some features of the late
machines that seemed absolutely vi
tai. Now the new cars seem about
perfect. It Is hard to see how they
can be much behind the game even
In five years.
This should lead people having a
well made car to hold on to 1t any
longer. The extravaganza of con-
slant trading off machines for the
latest models will become apparent.
As prices fall, people of moderate
means buy the machines. They pur-
chase with the purpose Of keeping
their cars for number of years
The demand created by the incessant
rush for the latest models will fall

Debating THE TERMS
OF PEACE

1t is easy to understand now ma
lions which have gone through in
credible losses and sufferings because
of German ambition should resolve
to make victory when 1t comes abso.
lutely secure.
There must not be another war like
this II human efforts can prevent it..
Yet It must be borne in mind that a
peace which left the vanquishe1 too
deeply Inundated might have in it
the seeds of war no less than a peace
which left them half unconquered.
Bismark thought in 1871 that he had
left France helpless by imposing an
indemnity upon her which she could
never repay. He was mistaken. So
the Allies may be mistaken II they
think they can destroy German ma
tional feeling with German power fer
mischief.
Restoration and indemnity The AL.
lies have every reason to exact. The
Slav may equally well demand re-
lease from Teuton rule. But seventy
million people cannot be reduced to
permanent helplessness by any force
from without. That consideration
should, and doubtless will, influence
the Allies If they are able 20 dictate
