A TALE OF MEXICO

After hiring band to play the
Star Spaneled Banner. the Munition
Maker informed the Parents that
they should consider 1t their greatest
joy to be able to give son for the
honor and glory of the republic.
The Parents, saddened, yet with
patriotism in their hearts, gave their
son, that he might march against
Mexico.
But in Washington there was q
man called the President. He brought
order from chaos and made Mexico
understand things without the ne
cessity of bloody war.
And the Munition Maker was irate
and said to the Parents: HE refuses
to send your boy to the slaughter.
We might have had a glorious war
and now this man called the Presi-
dent ends the trouble without having
your boy made q target. Surely you
will not vote for such man."
1t is up to the reader to guess how
the parents felt about bestowing
their votes.-Salina Union.

CREDIT

The United States government is
going into the banking business. It
is going to lend money. Business Of
all kinds is largely conducted upon
borrowed capital, and the fact that
new sources of credit are thus to be
opened up ought to encourage young
men to go into business for them
selves.
But here is a fact to be noted. The
government is going to lend money
only upon land. Not upon motor
cars, dress suits, golf sticks or silk
socks. Young men who have money
invested in this kind Of property, or
in accomplishments like dancing.
playing the banjo or knocking pool
balls about with facility will not be
able to do business with the new
banks.
If even the United States govern
ment, which has sometimes been
thought to be rather loose In throw
ing money around, will lookAat moth
ing but the land-the solid earth
that grows corn and wheat and does
not melt away overnight-then, per-
haps, young men would do we'll to
look into the matter of acquiring
some of that kind Of collateral.
Take an inventory of your posses
sions. Find out the real value OF
whatever 1t is you have been accum-
ulating all these years. II It isn't
anything the. new banks will lend
you money on-if you can't get q
loan on it anywhere except at q
pawnshop-perhaps 1t will open your
eyes as to what constitutes value
Anyway, you now know what the
government thinks of the various
kinds of collateral. 1t looked them
all over and picked the land-farm

POLITICS FOR SECOND RATERs

Only rarely-and / speak carefully
do the best men possible for CIV
en- Office ever reach it. The best men
are never even considered for thou
sands of state, county and municipal
elective offices; they do not offer
themselves, either because office
holding is distasteful, or because
private business is more lucrative, or
because they are aware Of no demand
for their services on the part Of their
fellow citizens.
BY fitness I mean the competence
produced by experience and training,
fortified with moral character and a
sense of responsibility. I should say
that a fit man for public Office is one
who. in his private affairs has estab-
lished some reputation for efficiency
and trustworthiness.
In assuming that a democracy like
ours presupposes in the electorate a
desire, no matter how feeble, to in
trust public affairs to men Of fitness,
to first rate men, it would seem that
with the approach of every presiden-
tial campaign numbers If POSSIBLE
candidates would receive consider
alton as eligible to our highest office.
It will be said that just as many can
didates were available in 1915 as at
any other period in our history, but
this is neither conclusive nor heart
ening; there should be more! 1t can
not be pretended that public service
does not attract thousands Of men;
1t can, however, be complained that
the offices fall very largely to the in
ferior.
We have just witnessed the spec
tacle of great republic, which con-
fides the broadcast powers to its chief
executive, strangely limited in its
choice of candidates for the presi-
dency to handful of men. No new
commanding figure had sprung Tor
ward from the ranks of either party
In the most trying period the country
has known in fifty years.

HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST

While the mobilization Of certain
Illinois regiment was under way wo-
men in the persons Of relatives and
friends of the guardsmen focked to
the camp in such numbers that neces-
sary work was hampered. Thereup-
on, 1t is reported, the colonel issued
orders that only one woman should
be allowed to visit each member Of
the regiment.
One of the guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, a
sister and his fiancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told
he answered:
"You can take only one. It'sup to
you to choose"
The young man looked for Q mo-
ment at the three and then said,
Mother"
When war is in the afr humanity
gets down to fundamentals, and
when this is done mother will never
get the worst of 1t. We do not be-
lieve that the young guardsman will
make a worse husband than II he
had chosen his sweetheart. A man
who can appreciate his mother may
be expected to take good care Of his
wife. = Rochester Democrat and
