A Poem a Day
THE VILLAGE BLAcksM,ru


Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith. n mighty man is he,
with large and sinewy hands
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black and long.
His face is like the tan;
His brow Is wet with honest sweat,
lie earns whate'er he can.
And looks the whole world in the
For he owes not any man.
Week IN. week out. from morn to
You can hear hi. bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy
With a measured beat and slow.

And catch the burning sparks that

And sits among hts boys;
he hears the parson pray and preach

Singing In the village choir.
And IL makes his heart rejoice.
Il sounds to him like her mothers
voice,
Singing I'm Paradise
He needs must think OF her once
more.
How In the grave she lies;
And with his hard. rough hand he
wipes
A tear out OF his eyes
roiiing-rejoicing--
Onward through life he goes
Each morning sees some task begun,
Each evening sees II close.
Something attempted, something
done.
Has earned a nights repose.
Thanks thanks to thee my worthy

For the Lesson thou hast taught
Thus az the flaming forge or hfc

THE EXECUTIVE
eY DIR. FRANK CRANE
tCopyrirht. 1916. b. Frank Crane,

I'VE live in world which we did not
make" said President Wilson in an adj
dress in New York; "in a world which we
cannot alter, which we cannot think in
to different condition from that which
actually exists"
There is another half TO every truth
and the other half to this one is that men
OF earnest conviction are always trying
to convert the world to their opinion and
to bring conditions nearer to their no.
tion of what ought to be.
In other words, man should be both
conscientious and intelligent. AS a con-
scientious person he sees the ideal and
strives toward it. AS an intelligent per-
son he understands the imperfect state
of society, the incomplete evolution of
human organization, the confused and
imperfect judgment of men, the enor-
nous strength of inertia in mundane af
fairs, the powerful resistance of custom.
timidity toward change, and the useless
ness of any advance in government or
law before it becomes the undoubted ex-
preston Of the peoples will
Few men combine these two uualifi-
cations. One will trend toward radical.
root-and-branch reform, another toward
laissez-faire, in accordance with this or
that tendency predominating in his
makeup.
The executives business is not to tell
the people what they ought to do and
to make them do it, at least not under
democracy; it is To ascertain what the
people want and to see that their de-
sire is accomplished.
And more often than not the people
do not know what they want And how
can the executive know?
Every apostle of an idea in the Senate.
in the newspapers or elsewhere can bold
| ly say his say it will not hurt him; he is
not responsible for the decisive action Of
the nation. But the executives lot is
not 50 easy For what he decides he must
take the consequences. For his errors in
judgment the people sternly hold him re-
| sponsible.
Therefore the one man TO whom we all
should extend the utmost charity OF
! judgment. the one man whose difficulties
we should try to understand, and whose
decision we should patiently bear with,
is the President of the United States.
Let us hack and hew each other, for
! if We are wrong it is not of serious i'm
portance, but let US. as much as we can,
spare the one man who has got to suffer.
and to make us suffer, for any mistake
he may commit.
Not that we should meekly agree with
all his decisions, nor subsequently declare
that he can do no wrong; by all means
let us differ with him frankly and criti-
cize him openly, and If we don't like him
put him out Of office at the end of his
term: but let US remember that he is the
man, when all is said and done, upon
whom falls the delicate and dangerous
task Of determining, not what is right or
wrong. not what is theoretically wisest.
but that far more fateful thing-what
this nation is actually going to do.
Not for his sake so much as for our
own. let us support him all we can and
cripple him as little as possible. He is
not the head Of party we want to over
throw: he is the executive OF a great ma
tion we all want to preserve.
