Preparedness in the White House

IN yesterdays preparedness parade at Wash
l ington the President of the United States
marched in line. He was showing his faith.
His participation means something more
than his advocacy of certain additions of men
and guns TO the American army and of men
and ships to the American navy; it means
his advocacy also of that spiritual prepared
ness which must underlie and support all
physical devices to maintain independence
and honor. No country in this age of the
world can maintain itself in war with a hired
army. Its sword and shield must be the
strong arm and barred breasts of its people.
That is the lesson Woodrow Wilson teaches
and the lesson we all must learn

Value of shakespearean paseants

ONE of the best methods OF doing honor
10 the memory OF Shakespeare, as the
New York Evening Post suggests. consists
in the simple and obvious device OF pulling
down his plays from the shelf and reading
them through II is, indeed. a method
wholly admirable and perhaps more produc-
tive than attendance on the various Shakes
pearean pageants that have been so much
in evidence throughout the country.
And yet the pageant has its value also.
There are some who will not read at all and
a larger number who will read only after
their interest has been excited. The pageant
serves both classes. He is a foolish person
who denies himself the happiness that comes
from close association, by the study lamp.
with ShaEespeare's heroes and hero!nes and
all the personages OF his deathlcss dramas.
but II he will so deny himself, he will. and
yet may be~.Yorth' addressing through his
eyes and ears. We are certain the pageant
SO handsomely staged and enacted at West
hampton was the cause OF much unaccus-
toned thumbing Of Shakespeare by men and
= women aroused to that great privilege.
We need not be highbrows-praise be-
to appreciate and understand the immortal
bard. He wrote for ordinary folks like our
selves. and his message still is comprehensi-
bic by common clay. Anything that can in
sp1re common clay TO arise and claim its
heritage is deserving of high praise.

The idea of the Administrative Boards
having the insolence to grant furloughs to
city employees without consulting Council!
We trust Council will at once conduct an in
vestigation and place the responsibility for
this Iigh-handed act where it belongs. It's
Councils own business to grant furloughs-

SEEN ON THE SIDE
Requiem.


Earth and the radiant stars,
Winds of wild sea.
Spring that life's gates unbars.
Joys held for thee
Beauty an open page.
Which thou didst read.
Music's rich heritage
Answered thy need.
Love had encompassed thee.
Held thee in mind:
Sweet as true love can be.
Tender and kind.
Stilled is thy music now.
Heard here no more:
Gone with thee to endow
Life's farther shore.
vanished the charm OF thee. +.
Vanished thy grace,
Only n memory
Left in their place:
But deep love which lives e'er
Thy grave enshrines.
And fixed hope which dies ne'er
That love entwines.

Leslie c. Garrett. recently come back from
Minnesota TO fill the Office OF Assistant Attorney
General. was discussing the custer law with
his brother, Christopher Il. Garnett, now eXecu-
tive assistant OF the State Tax Board.
The talk veercd around to the general sub
ject of Sabbath Day observance, and the tax
officer, remembering his Sunday School days. re-
called the fact that Exodus makes the violation
of the Sabbath punishable by death-death by
stoning. according TO the code of Moses.
Why, Moses even forbade the Hebrews to
keen a fire in their homes on the Saba tn"
continued CHRISTOPHER, warming up to his sub
ject.

That course OF ruin which enemies Of
American peace and Of Woodrow Wilson ad-
vocate. or pretend 10 advocate, Mr.. Glynn
found words fittingly to characterize. 1T
is" he said, simply an appeal to passion and
pride. 10 sympathy and prejudice. to secure
United States the policeman of the world.
These noisy critics forget that an ap-
probation of honor is as elemental in every
man as the instinct which calls the flush OF
rage to the cheek or the blaze of anger to
the eye. When the honor of this country is
outraged or the glory of its flag besmirched ed,
the man OF the street, the toiler in the fields,
the artisan in the shops, the man who
shoulders his musket and marches away, will
need no one TO tell him where duty lies and
manhood calls"
And if that call does come and that way
OF dreadful duty is pointed out. the leader of
his people, in war as in peace. will be Wood
row Wilson, the statesman who has cham
pioncd the cause Of American freedom wher-
ever he found it oppressed; the patriot who
has planted his country's flag on the highest
peak to which humanity has yet aspired."

to the surprise of some and the qualification
Of all. that the feat is really quite easy. They
are putting the old cost of crutches and
braces into their bank accounts. They are
unlikely to throw away the lessons of en-
perience, especially when experience has re-
voked most Of its pretedents and shown itself
altogether pleasant.

In repeating the DINNER ordinance, The
Board of Aldermen disregarded the comfort
and safety of the public; in rejecting the
ordinance that would have made the Super-
lhtehdent of Schools movie censor, it con-
sldered the comfort of the superintendent
and the welfare of the schools. Taking both
actions together. the Boards record is 30
per cent good.

been written already IN the deeds of Wood

written again in the eloquent words that

that speech there was reinsurance for the
timorous. stern rebuke for the disloyal and
new inspiration for Americans Of brave heart
and undivided allegiance. of all parties and
OF no party, who are ranged now under
Democracy's banner and bear it steadily for
ward to another victory at the polls.
Critics of the Democratic policy and
method of preparedness were reminded that
you cant create an army, can't build a
navy, in the course of a day" and that "if
our navy is not strong enough, if our army
is not big enough. the Republican party is
So per cent to blame, for the Republican
party has been in control Of this nation so
per cent of the time during the past fifty
years. The country was asked to remember
that this administration has done more for
our army and navy than any administration
IN our history" and that as time permits
more and yet more will be done.
Mt. Glynn reviewed the legislative achieve
ments Of this administration and described
the prosperity they have helped to establish
and render secure. OF the country's present
