CAN HARDLY CRITICIsE.

The Nation, a magazine that stands
independently upon political issues, al
most laughs at Senator Penrose's crit
icism OF the democratic administra-
ton This magazine says:
Senator Penrose echoes Mr.
Hughes attack on democratic financial
management. It has given US a 'carni-
val of debauchery' and pushed US 10
the precipice Of bankruptcy a brick
layer could have drawn better rev
enue measure But Mr. PenrOse was
in the last republican administration
on the senate committee Of finance.
How Jealous a champion Of financial
reform was he? Though President
Taft earnestly urged reform in budget
airy procedure congressional OppOsi-
ton, centering in the committees that
feared loss Of power, prevented its
making an inch of progress. The dem
ocrats have, in fact, gone farther to-
wards giving il to US than did the re-
publicans. A committee Of the demo
cratic caucus under Representative
Sherley failed only by the narrowest
of margins to approve the budget idea
and to apply il to the appropriations
of the present session. If the Tepub-
licans come into power, it is men just
like Penrose whose support Will not be
OTthcOming"

ON SECOND THOUGHT.

The large list of names of those who
have withdrawn their petitions as
candidates for congress and state Of
fees in Illinois is worthy of notice
The Withdrawals probably represent
the sober second thought of these can
didates There are always plenty Of
friends to advise a man to enter
the race and it is only human nature
to be fiattered by their compliments
But a state Office as viewed from the
distance Of some six or eight months
and the Office that is reached by the
button-hole, automobile, Misunderstanding
and baby-kissing route are quite diff
ferent. These Wearied candidates
have had a nearer view and do not
like il. They have been disaIlusiCn-
lied The fact that the primary was
fixed at so late a date as September
has had its effect, no doubt. in cor
recting their view. It is testimony to
the wisdom Of the later date Had
the primary been set for April there
would not have been half as many
Withdrawals. The longer time given
the people to pass on candidates and
the longer time given the candidates
to Judge Of the sincerity and staying
qualities Of their friends. the better
for all. The law is all right.

Failed in what? It most certainly
has not failed in keeping the United
States out of an unnecessary war, ana
that service is The chief service of all
diplomacy.
European diplomacy failed in that
vital thing. American diplomacy sue
ceeded Yet Mr. Hughes praises Eu-
ropean diplomacy and sneers at the
diplomacy of his own country because
the men who have carried out the for
eign policy OF the United States hap
pens to be democrats and not repub-
licans.
1t would have been very easy for
President Wilson to push the United
States into war He could have had
war with Germany OF war with Mex
leo or war with both. Instead, he
persisted in employing all the re
sources of diplomacy to maintain
American rights by peaceful methods.
War was his last resort, not his first
resort. and diplomacy succeeded.
If Mr. Wilson had been thinking
about politics, if he had been 100 per
cent a candidate" instead of 100 per
cent d patriot, he would have well
coined the opportunity for war. Tha-
would have meant his certain reelec-
ton, for the American people will new
CT change presidents in the midst of
war Nobody would have want
ed the republican nomination, Mr..
Hughes least of all.
Mr.. Wilson refused to buy reelec-
ton with war. He refused to sacrifice
the lives of tens Of thousands Of Amer
lean boys to still the silly partisan
clamor that he was too proud to
fight" He gave to the United States
more than a policy of triumphant ai-
plomacy. He gave to it an exhibition
Of moral courage with which Mr..
Hughes cannot well afford TO invite
comparisons.

when the sun shone This is our phil
osophy of today in view of the posi-
bility OF labor troubles.
Today the president OF the United
States is trying with all the power OF
his great office TO save this nation from
the almost unimaginable evils of the
paralysis of the traffic on 240, COO miles
OF railroad Properly enough-inevl-
tablv. in fact-he is working to avert
this immediate ard pressing danger.
He is like a boatman whose craft, lad
en- with people, is in the midst OF
rapid. He has for the moment Just one
concern: to get that craft safely past
the rocks. The question whether the
rocks ought to be removed, the ques
ton whether the rapid itself should
be tolerated in that stretch of river. o.
should be done away with by a dam
and a lock. does not for the moment
concern him.
No permanent solution of any indus
trial problem will ever he worked out
by negotiations instituted at the nth
hour by public officials who, under the
law. have no standing in the neSoua-
lions and no power over the parties
Passing a crisis is not settling cues
ton. Such activities are like those OF
fire-fghters striving TO eXtingulsh
flames started from defective nue.
The sole permanent solution OF the
problem is to rebuild the chimney
The present crisis will soon be OF
the past. Then what? Shall we. the
public, go on in the old, happy go
lucky way. until a worse thing comes
upon US? Shall we continue to emu
late the Native in the Arkansaw TarV-
eler? Or shall we set ourselves, as
soon as the weather is "set fair TO re-
pair that roof?
We. the people. are the ultimate
consumers of trans portation- We own
the roads through our general owner
ship of life insurance policies and saw
ings bank accounts whose security IS
largely railroad bonds. We pay the
wages Of all employees through our
navment of rates. The roads eXlsi
Iecause we. the people. conferred on
them the power Of eminent domain
The question of industrial control by
methods not repugnant to our instltu-
tons or to the spirit Of democracy is
rot too large for our solution. But
we must mend the roof under the sun
shine. and not in time of storm.

AMERICAS WAR BURDEN

1t is safe to assert that 90 per cent
of the citizens of the United States
would much prefer that the sum of
nearly $500, 900 600 which congress has
voted for national defense should be
expended in constructive measures of
a permanent nature, such as road
building, river Improvement, food pre-
venti0n educational extension, agri-
cultural promotion and the like. A
sum so vast would work wonders in
promoting the general welfare and
happiness Four years ago the nation
would have gasped in horror at the
thought OF devoting this huge sum to
the enlargement of its naval and mill
tary establishment, But it is equally
safe to assert that today only a small
minority of our citizens begrudge the
voting of 500, 100000 for national de-
Tense A change. wrought by external
forces, has come over our national
circumstances.
The bulk of this StupendOus eXpendi-

few years is literally a tax laid by

years ago the trend of the times seemed
away from war and things war-like

crowd on to those pretty red lips Of
hers, her eyes dancin' with happiness

enemy ship and saved his own from a
sub"
The captain while listening to these
words turned and saw two men. the
one lying on the deck, pale and Ian

holding his hand. He had known that
one OF his guns had finished an enemy
ship and that a gun had saved the Ter

fired the shot he had not known. Now
he knew that one man had fired both
shots and that he had stood by his
gun when every other man at the piece
had been stretched on the deck or
blown to pieces.

peace since 1898 and active in the pro-
motion of international amity, went
about its way only mildly attentive to
the demands Of national defense and
an augmented military establishment
was remote from the national thought.
There has been no change in the at
titude of America toward peace, no in
lection Of the war lust, no noticeable
revival of jingOism. But the mon
strous events of the past two years in
Europe have worked a slow compuI-
sion upon us. We have found our
selves, with the most pacific ideals and
the fOndest hopes Of world friendships,
forced to meet the contingency
wrought by Europe reversion. Like d
quiet citizen who suddenly finds his
neighborhOOd invaded by outlaws un-
amenable to the processes of law and
arms himself for the protection of his
life and property, we equip ourselves
to cope with the suddenly developed
conditions of world IawlessneSS. We
are regretful, but not grudging.
