The rainbow comes and goes,
And lovely is the rose.-WadswOrth.
The FIatterer.

There are two kinds of people who
use fattery to extreme advantage,
the politician and the hollow-voiced.
Flattery is the politicians stock IN
trade, while to the man of insincere
purpose it is as empty as his own head.
Most sensible, people are appreciative
of the motive behind all f1attery, yet
the general feeling is that most people
are amenable to it's seductive charms.
Some thoughtful philosopher once
said he would attempt to flatter only
fools, and perhaps this was the right
feeling in the matter, for no man or
woman who uses this artificial method
of reaching the tender side of human
nature fails to recognize the shallow
depths from which it springs. Flat
terry and insincerity are first-kin; the
two are inseparable, always together.
You cannot disassociate flattery from
it's intention, and those who fall will
ling victims to it's wiles generally pay
for their folly.

SnOU Removal.

The present winter has brought
more complaints about the bad con-
dition of, our streets than ever be-
fore. The first big snow storm
evoked so much criticism from all
over the borough that the Mayor
rushed into print with the old "Snow
Removal Ordinance" as his only
weapon of defense.
This snow ordinance said very
definitely that all home owners
should clear their own sidewalks
after every snowstorm, and failing
in this duty, the borough is to en-
gage itself in the task of clearing
off the. sidewalks and charge it up
in the tax BILL.
Now, in all reason, if the ordinance
says all this, why hasn't it been
done Labor is difficult to get for
private families, but not so difficult
for a corporate borough. All the
public asks is fair play and it is not
getting it.

No Need For Alarm.

The daily prints are giving a most
ignoble example of partisan preju-
dice in discussing the possibilities of
war with Germany over the U-boat
issue. There is scarcely any reason
for war with Germany, and neither
country wants it. The press has
grossly exaggerated the situation,
and some members of congress, egged
on by INSCRIPTIONS parties, have
tried to infame the public mind.
Congress will not undertake to usurp
the authority of President Wilson.
1t has tried it before without avail
It undertook it with Grover Cleve-
land, also with Mckinley, and Wood
row Wilson has mind of his own
with either of these or any former
President. We confidently believe
the country is in safe hands, and that
while Mr.. Wilson may be speaking
plainly, too plainly, in fact, he has
his reasons for SO doing, and they
are no doubt wise in every particu-
lar. There is too much of moral
hazard for Germany to risk all at the
behest of a Won Tirpitz. The law
regulating the freedom of the seas
to neutrals is absolute, and Germany
has already given evidence that she
does not mean to violate it at will
She will no doubt speak again and
reassure us.

The Poor Candidate!

The Republican is always pleased
to publish the fact that man has an
nounced himself as candidate for
nomination for any public office.
That's news. But in announcing this
fact we do not deem it at all incum-
bent upon US to print statement
from that particular candidate Of
anywhere from half to two columns
in length unless the aforesaid can
didate is willing to pay for it at adj
vertising rates. Of such statements
thus early in the campaign we have
received pound or two in manu-
scripts any many pounds in, plate
Space in newspapers, even in the
suburbs, costs the publisher money,
and we do not see why any candidate
should expect to have it given to him
free any more than the fact that such
a candidate is seeking office should
warrant a merchant in handing over
to him bunch of merchandise with

Stand By The President

Certain senators of the United
States appear to be under the i'm
preston that William Jennings Bryan
is either president of the United
States or in some way is superior to
Woodrow Wilson, the legally elected
President.
It is difficult to draw any other
conclusion from two bills introduced
by Senator Gore and apparently sup
ported by Senators Stone, O'Gorman,
Hitchcock, and possibly others.
These bills propose to reverse and
repudiate the position taken by the
President as to the rights of Ameri-
can citizens, and humanity's rights,
on the public highways of the seas.
And of the Gore bills William Jen-
nings Bryan is avowedly the author.
Confronted with this revolt of lead
ers of his own party in the senate
confronted with this effort to make
Mr.. Bryan sort of uncrowned en-
peror ruling not by law but by divine
right-the President of the United
States necessarily appeals to all
loyal citizens to uphold his authority
in the post they have placed him.
He has not made that appeal
audibly. It would be inconsistent
with his self-respect and with the
dignity of his great office so to make
it. But the facts of the situation
make it for him. Though he be
dumb, they speak in clarion tones.
The President feels the cruel en-
barrassment of his situation. There
is most significant paragraph in J.
c. O'Laughlin's dispatch in a recent
issue of the Chicago Herald. 1t re-
fleets accurately the Presidents feel
ings and his knowledge that he may
be forced to yield to the usurpation
Here it is:
"The President realizes that
he cannot take the strong stand
which his past procedure logically
demands unless the country gives
him unmistakable backing"
Do the American people wish Will
lam Jennings Bryan to become di-
rector of the foreign policy of the
United States? Having thrice re-
jected him for the office of President,
do they wish him to become Presi-
dent in power-in fact-through po-
litical intrigue?
That is the issue which confronts
US. That is the question the Ameri-
can people have to answer. There
IS, OF course, no doubt whatever

we'll be talking about the deepest
mystery as to mention some of the
war centers of action.
The value of thorough knowledge
of geography is especially emphasized
in the conditions that. are just now
concentrating about the South Ameri-
can countries, and our merchants
would do well to make more care
full look in at their biographies, if
they are to really know how to
master the situation to the south of
us. And in taking up geography it
is also well to study Spanish as one
of the useful things in developing
trade in South American countries.

The National Issue.

The analogy between our times
and the period in which Washington
lived is seen in certain similarity
of general conditions regarding pre-
paredness. After Washington con-
quered the British, he was enabled
to formulate certain platitudes on
the subject Of just what would best
secure America against invasion
again. The country had been lily
prepared in the war he won. Many
Of these arguments and suggestions
are now being published in order to
prove that what Washington said
after his victory was just what we
should do to-day. Perhaps some of
these arguments are good. The most
of them are. But it has taken US a
long time to come around to the
Washington way Of thinking. Wash
ington was a firm believer in pre-
paredness, but it would have bank
rupted the country if we had at that
time undertaken any such elaborate
preparations as is now being con-
sidered.
The critics of President Wilson
blame him for not doing more to
keep us in state of peace with the
world. He has done all and more
than an army and navy might have
done under some conditions. If the
general public would credit the Presi-
dent with what he has done, instead
of what he has been unable to do,
the country would be in much
more complacent state Of mind. He
has done more than any other man
since Washington, and posterity will
credit him with being one of the most
efficient rulers any nation ever had.

Should KnoW Geography.

The European war has developed
the almost utter lack of definite
knowledge of the worlds geography
on the part of the majority of peo-
pie. This is, perhaps, due for the
most part to the neglect given to this
study in our schools. In the old
days, geography was given much
more attention than at present. In
fact, it was one of the coordinate
parts of that great educational trio
of fundamental studies, the three
rudimentals, reading, writing and
arithmetic, and geography was re-
garded as first essential, corollary
in building the grounding for an edu-
cation. Drilling in geography was
considered as important as reading
or arithmetic.
How all this has changed is no.
ticed in the curriculum of our schools
to-day. Attention has gradually
drifted to other things regarded as
more important than geography, and
we find this day of faddism, where
boys are taught things they have
little need of in life, and girls are
piloted into the same paths. All this
is not the fault of the present-day
teachers who instill into the young
mind what is down on the program.
1t is the fault of those who have had
the power to create the fads, then
hold them in place in order to prove
a value they do not possess.
However, the Importance of geog-
raphy is self-evident, and at this
stage of the worlds history, it is all
important. The man who does not
know more or less of geography is at
sea without a rudder in trying to
understand the location of the vari-
Gus grounds of contention in the
European war. The truth is, not one
in fifty knows anything at all of what
is taking place in the Balkan dis
turbance, and Bulgaria, Armenia,
Bagdad, almost all of Russia, and
hundreds of other places are un-
known quantities; and one might as

William Winter Testimonial.


The coming testimonial to William
Winter on the eightieth anniversary
of his birth, promises to be most
important literary and dramatic
event. A letter was recently adj
dressed to Mr.. Winter on this sub
ject, to which he sent a graceful
reply accepting the distinguished
honor his friends propose to offer in
his behalf. The testimonial will take
place in March, and was prompted
by the general public interest in the
achievements of the great critic who
is now fast nearing the end of a
career that, has been the most not
able of all the American writer's on
stage topics. He was half century
the dramatic critic of the New York
Tribune, and has wide reputation
for the quality of his work that has
extended all over the entire world.
The testimonial was brought about
through the efforts of President Will
son, Joseph Choate, Augustus Thomas
and others, in signed letter from
these distinguished people who want
to see Mr.. Winter shown a proper
appreciation of his remarkable
career, noted for it's sincere and able
manifestation throughout his long
and useful life. The Doran Com
pany, New York, has recently pub
lished the latest book by Mr.. Winter,
"Vagrant Memories" work which
is in accordance with all of his previ-
Gus efforts in reminiscent literature
of the stage.

World Morals.

Have the morals of the world
deprecated? Do we have as fine a
conception to-day of those finer in
stincts of what constitutes real mo-
rality as formerly? These are ques-
lions that must be faced if we look
around us with any degree of in
timacy on events of daily oc-
curence.
The recent wedding to foreigner
of world-famous cantitrice has
brought about an abundance of gossip
over the loose morals of the woman
in question. Books on the so-called
Secrets of European Courts" reveal
this same parsonage already the
mother of two illegitimate children
by certain prince, of equal fame as
gay Lothario, himself the head of
a household, the father of other chill
dren. This scandal seldom receives
attention at the hands of the present.
day press, though the facts are we'll
known, and society smiles upon the
unvirtuus conditions merely as so
much to be expected, and let's it go
at that. Nor is our own society free
from the evils of indifference to
morals. Divorces from wrongly
placed marital alliances are con-
stantly recounted in the daily prints,
and the more one tries to dodge these
painful social disturbances, the more
they come to the front and take posi-
ton in the front pages of news
papers. The exploitation of a social
scandal is considered the most i'm
portant of all news, and the public
digests it's vulgar details with avidity
and absorbing interest. We find a
great stage favorite an open advo-
cate of free love, leading a life con-
doned apparently through her public
triumphs before the footlights. Talent
is the open sesame to the social
order of the day, and any one who
may violate the. moral bonds is at
once taken up and coddled by society.
1t is so everywhere. In localities
where social lines are closely drawn
there are no exceptions to this rule.
That morality is fading in this day
and generation, is still further en-
phasized in the dress of the period.
1t is not necessary to see women ar
rayed in doubtful garb at the social
function. Parading the streets, in
public dining halls of cities and even
villages are some of the most pain
full tendencies of the times-tend-
encies that indicate an utter lack of
for morals or modesty,
as evidenced by women's dress. 1t
does not take a prude, either, to con-
lemn the fashion.

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Peace should not come along this foul earth way,
Peace should not come, until we cleanse the path.
God waited for u.s. now in awful wrath
He pours the blood of men out day by day
To purify the hghroad for her feet.
Why, what would Peace do, in world where hearts
Are filled with thoughts like poison-pointed darts.
1t not meet, surely it not meet
For Peace to come, and with her white robes hide
These industries of death-these guns and swords
These uniformed hate-flled destructive hordes-
These hideous things, that are each nations pride
So long believe in armed might
Let be brandished.. Let no Peace be sought
Until the race-heart empties out all thought
Of blows and blood, arguments for Right
The world has never had enough of war,
Else war were not. Now let the monster stand,
Until he Stays himself with his own hand;
Though knows what he is fighting for
Then in the place where wicked cannons stood
Let Peace erect her shrine to Brotherhood.

With wanton head and gOOdly cunning,

Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.

Young.
Youth S Dream.

Youth puts a glamour on every
thing. When one is young adventure
appeals and beckons.
Before the imagination the mirage
of wonderment stretches across the
horizon of youth fresh and fair. The
heart throbs and the eye flashes in
bewilderment and joy in anticipation
of the realization of dreams. The
mind pictures conquests, and the
future seems like a pleasure garden.
Achievement comes to the. senses in
an unending line, and victory is look
ed upon as a matter of course. Youth
cannot fail in it's hopes. All! the al
Turing fancies that come! 1t is the
heyday of life! The pulse leaps
and the heart .throbs its enchantment.
Nothing is unreal to youth, nothing
hopeless.
But by and by, when one has seen
time pluck the years off one by one;
when one has wandered on down the
roadway of experience and been lost
in the forest of doubt, or haunted by
the shadow of fear, the awakeing
comes, and faith loses some of it's
ballast. 1t has been on a sea of sun
shine, but the clouds at last gather.
Then when one has drunk the bitter
waters along the way, or picked the
poisonous flowers; when the Palace
of beauty and the fallacies of reason
are found to be but the pets of fancy
"a part of life's mirage, one wonders
that the paths of illusion could be so
unreal. No wonder the heart finally
tires and the soul wearies and longs
for the quiet of the love and happi-
ness of Peaceful Valley.

PRESIDENT WILSON and Gov. Philip
join in designation of Wednesday, June
IA, as Flag Day, and recommend such
honors of the flag as the patriotic spirit
of the people may prompt. ''On the
fourteenth day of June, 1777, congress
enacted the law adopting the stars and
stripes as the banner of a new nation.
In recent years there has been grow
ing sentiment among the people toward
giving this day patriotic observance.
It has become time for the general
display of the flag and for the holding
of exercises which will instruct the
growing generation in its history and
meaning. The flag of our country is
the simplest and most beautiful express
sion of a national ideal. To keep this
idea before US today, to understand 1t
and feel it's inspiration, is as important
as it ever was. We cannot go forward
as nation and work out our destiny
as a free people except by the power
of that ideal which has guided us In the
past. Being such an emblem as it is,
and of flags the most significant and
the most beautiful, it is well for us to
fling it to the breeze upon its birthday
and pause to give consideration to It's
meaning"

so get one hour of additional daylight
has advocates all over the country and
is sure to come eventually. Germany,
France and England have taken the
step in order to profit by the tremen-
dous saving in gas and electricity for
lighting purposes. 1t makes it appeal
more strongly in industrial centers but
it saves money to any community. The
complications that would arise in rail-
road time matters were the plan to be
adopted in some communities and not
all, seem to furnish the chief obstacle

PREPAREDNESS is just now the great
and overshadowing question before the
American people. Everybody is talk
ing about it, either for or against. A
few months ago monster peace parades
were held in the large cities, and war
and preparedness against war were de-
nounced on every hand. Today you can
find scarcely man who can tell you
even the month in which one of those
parades was held They have been
forgotten. A few weeks ago New
York City held monster preparedness
parade, in which 145, 900 people partic--
ipated Chicago Immediately followed
suit with one of the greatest parades
in the history of this country, all in the
interest of preparedness. Other cities,
large and small, all over the country
caught the fever and paraded for pre-
paredness, and everybody marched and
shouted for preparedness. But these,
too, will be forgotten, for it is the way
of the American people to do today and
forget tomorrow.
