Need Of Constructive LEGISLATION.

just before the European war broke
out we had a million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half mil
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half Il million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight TO carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres Of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen.
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdOO and Redfield and Presi-
dent Wilson OF the great trade booms
which were soon TO appear but which
failed TO materialiZe until the outbreak
of war on the continent.

If one of us should go.
And if these lips should ever learn to
smile
With your heart far from mine,
'Twould be for JOY in a little while
They would be kissing thine.
Another little poem that he liked we'll
enough to copy and keep, shows his
attitude toward the future;
"He has launched his last boat and
got in it alone,
And sailed TO that beautiful cline
Where angels are waiting to welcome
On the banks of the river of time.
He will land by himself in eternity's
port.
Then put the boat out on the shore
And quietly walk through the
beautiful gates,
And never come back any more.
We trust that some angel will show
him the way,
That leads to the great throne of
grace
Where God in his mercy will give
him a seat,
And smile on his work wrinkled face
1t makes US think of those other
most beautiful verses of Whittier's:
/ know not what the future hath of
marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death His
mercy underlies.
No offering of my own l have, Nor
works my faith to prove;
l can but give the gifts He gave,
and plead his love for love.
And so beside the silent sea, wait
the muffled oar;
No harm from Him, can come to me,
on ocean or on shore.
l know not where His islands their
fronded palms in air;
l only know l cannot drift beyond his
love and care.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Two futile invasions of Mexico and
six separate and distinct policies on
the question Of permitting arms and
ammunition TO be sent into that coun-
try are included in the performance of
the Wilson administration in its deal
ings with our southern neighbors N
less than three years. 1t is this char
acteristic instability of the govern
ment that makes people want a
change.
When Charles z. Hughes said: 1.-THE
dealings of the administration with
Mexico constitute a confused chapter
Of blunders," he gave an explicit char
acterization of the Wilson administra-
tons policy in one sentence.
Just as II Is now obstinately shut
. ting its eyes to the need Of indus
trial preparedness, for three years the
Wilson administration refused to see
the need of adequate military pre-
paredness. With war on our southern
border Ii was content to rely on a
regular army that could only muster
10000 available men and refused to
continue the established policy of
building up our navy. When the time
came for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by a trifle more than one third the
war strength of the national guard. If
the national administration had had
the ability to interpret the signs of
the time military preparedness would
have been well under way instead Of
barely begun.
