ed that he reached his conclu-
sions regarding affairs in Mexico
by listening to liars talk, and
then balancing off their stories.
Similarly the American people
may eventually arrive at. a just
estimate Of the administration Of
Josephus Daniels in the navy de-
partment; but probably they will
get the best line on the situation
ION or about March 4, next, in
case Mr.. Wilson is reelected. If
Mr.. Daniels is retained in the
next cabinet his assailants may
as we'll shut up.
The northern press without ex-
ception, so far as we have seen,
is bowling for Daniels head.
Even the World, the administra-
ton mouthpiece, after the Tip
perary episode. put the wither-
ing inquiry Of why should a navy
that has Josephus Daniels for
secretary want to sing? On the
other hand, a few months ago
the World devoted a page to an
able defense of Mr.. Daniels by
George Creel; and since then he
has found another defender in an
English observer. who gave high
praise to the efficiency Of the ma
Wy under his administration.
However, the Sun finds one of
its chief arguments against the
administration in the slogan, "A
vote for Wilson is a vote for
Daniels. " The. Hearst papers
are eternally after him, and one
of the favorite indoor sports of
the 15-cent magazines for some
time has been having Daniels
written up by their fanciest
muckrakers. Much of this criti-
cism is obviously based on NAL
ice-the snarls Of disappointed
contract-seekers, and disgruntled
officers. But some of it, as, for
instance the article by Burton J.
Hendrick in the Worlds Work, |
appears to be honest, |
The Precipitation of the Bryan
element in the Democratic party |
Is given by all hands as the ex-
PLANTATION Of Daniels presence in
the cabinet. If Mr.. Wilson is re-
elected, that explanation will be
removed in his second cabinet,
for he will owe no debt to the
Bryan element. The one man
who knows whether Daniels is a
help or a hindrance to the ad-
ministration is, of course, the
President. The hue and cry af-
ter the secretary of the navy is
not likely to become SO great as
to force the President to the en-
harrassing necessity of throwing |
him to the wolves before the |
election; but afterWard, If he is
successful, there is no reason
why Mr.. Wilson should continue
to carry an encumbrance; nor, if
Mr.. Daniels has been efficient,
will there be any reason why he
should dispense with a good Of
fetal merely to satisfy critics
who have already done their
worst.
If the Democrats lose the cleo
ton there will be no way on
earth of judging the Daniels ad-
ministration except by the Pres
ident's policy of balancing lies.
But if they win, the question of
whether his influence on the
navy department has been good
or bad will resolve itself into,
will he, or will he not, be in the
next cabinet? Greensboro Daily |

To Begin Again.
When, sometimes, our feet grow
weary,
On the rugged hills of life
The path stretching long and dreary
With trial and labor rife
We pause on the toilsome journey
Glancing backward in valley and
glen,
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and began again.
For behind is the dew of the morn
ing.
In all its freshness and light,
And before are doubts and shadows
And the chill and gloom of the
night.
We remember the sunny places
We passed so carelessly then,
And ask, with a passionate longing
To return and begin again.
All. vain, indeed, is the asking!
Lies duties press all of us on.
And who dare shrink from the
labor,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's
gone.
And, it may be, not far on before
Wait faircr places than then
Lies paths may yet lead by still
waters,
Though we may not begin again.
