sues OF this campaign.

II needs il now Tho Democratic party

prestige and honor OF the country

conditions that are certain to confront
the nation at the close Of the European
war.
THE failure to maintain the homer
and dignity of the nation in the pres
ent, the failure to make proper prep
aration for changed conditions In the
future, are the most striking outward
and visible signs OF an amazing lack
of definite, constructive will and pur-
pose, which Is illuminated by the en-
tire record OF the party. Theirs has
been continuous performance Of weak
and shifting opportunism.

The Exponent. in a miserable at
tempt to apologize for the work OF
some designing Democrat who used its
news service to send broadcast news
story about an imagined Illness Of
United States Senator Borah, tries to
make 1t appear that an editor Of the
Telegram sent out the lying dispatch
1t Is a fairy tale that an editor OF tho
Telegram would sioop TO such dirty
trick. designed to further the interests
OF the Democrats.
II is noticed that the Exponent re-
Trains from making any direct state
ment concerning the inference II tries
10 give While 1t Ia about II. why
does not that sheet tell just who sent
out the dispatch designed 10 keep
crowds away from the Bornh meet
Ines? The fact thnt tho news service
II uses buys the report Of a Pittsburg
ncws bureau does not mean that such
news service uses that report and
nothing else. even II tho Exponent
tries to make ii so appear. For The
benefit Of persons who may have beer
mlsled by the squirmings Of the FIX
poncnt. the Telegram denies that the
local representative Of the Ptttsburr
news bureau sent out the fake dis
patch and declares that the Exponent
knew It was lying when II tried 70
make 1t so appear AS a matter Of
fact. tho dispatch was sent out by
schcming Democrats.

Today and Tomorrow.

Eat. drink and be merry, for to-
morrow We die" says some foolish
one, as quoted in the Good Book.
( But observes wise man Of the
present. you tlatter yourself--tomor-
row you will live, and that Is worse
/ than dying"
The child lives in the present. The
boy wants things now. He has no
patience. He does no know tomorrow
or what tomorrow means. Time is no
element in his scheme OF things. He
simply lives.
Z The man who Is really happy is the
man who lives in the future-who
anticipates. Hope" says a current
writer. is much more dominant
factor in the Joys of life than reali-
cation" How many good time you
have had anticipating the good time
that didn't materialize!
The man or woman who never
takes thought Of the future, of course.
cannot look forward to the future
with any hope Of anticipation. The
wise man says. Look out OF tomor-
row and today will look out for it.
