DEMOCRACY SAFE FOR The
WORLD.

Governor Samuel w. Mccall of
Massachusetts, recently answered
President Wilson's phrase that the
world must be made safe for democ-
racy. by replying that democracy
must be made safe for the world.
\ The catch phrase Travelled far, and
caused much comment, and in The
New York Times magazine Governor
Mccall Celebrates his idea as fol-
lows:
Il did not mean TO assert that
what Mr.. Wilson said was not
true, sut often by looking into a
truth we see a deeper mean

say that democracy will come

GREAT OPPORTUNITY LOST.

Doubly disconcerting is the break
down Of the Russian army, because
it now appears that the Russians
had their greatest opportunity OF
the war, and had it within their
power to strike a blow that would
have shaken Germany and Austria
to their foundations.
The army which is now in
ignominious retreat. is said to have
been the largest and best equipped
the Russians have had concentrated
on any one part of the front, since
and Great Britain had generously
equipped it with artillery and NUM-
tons. aviators and airplanes. and
even tanks. The German line had
been weakened by reinforcements
sent to the western front. The
enemy was not prepared for the at
tack. and the rapidity of the advance
Russia made at the beginning of the
offensive showed how easily the
steam roller could proceed.
BY cutting in behind Mackensen's
army in Rumania. the Russians
could have forced it to retreat or be
cut off. and all of the territory won
there after Rumania's entry into the
war could have been regained.
Then there was the golden OPP
portunity of cutting across the
Balkans and joining forces with the
allies in Macedonia. This would
have meant the division of the
Teutonic allies. the downfall OF
Turkey and the capture of the
Dardanelles.
Undoubtedly such was the plan
that was in the mind of General
Korniloff. 1t would have been the
greatest single coup of the war, and
might have been the decisive one.
With victory within his grasp, he
was betrayed by a few traitorous
regiments spurred on by agitators
from. the radical socialists. 1t
would be the irony of fate If these
agitators were responsible for the
downfall of the new republic and
the restoration of the old absolute
mRGarchy.
But such is not likely to be the
result. There are strong hands at
the helm. If Kerensky, Korniloff
and Brussiloff succeed in having
capital punishment restored fort
duration of the war. there will be
some wholesale executions. The
loyal troops will not be compelled to
take matters into their own hands
and turn their artillery on their own
fleeing comrades as they did yes
terday. Russia is most dangerous
when she appears weakest. and is
weakest when she seems at the
climax OF her power. Her continued
offensive in Rumania shows she still
has striking power. but there is no
denying her breakdown-rather ex-
pected as it waswas a sorry blow
to America. for it may prolong the
war months and even years.

Whoever first started the shaving
idea probably knew very little about
hair. He made great mistake
when he didn't read up more on
hair. If he had really made study
of hair he would never have in

He didn't know that hair would
grow out again.
The man who invented shaves had
no idea that more than one would
be necessary. When his whiskers
appeared again he was astonished.
His wife was puzzled and mentioned
it to her neighbors. Other husbands
tried it and sure enough all Of their
whiskers grew out again. The Gus
tom was soon widespread.
The world is now used to the
phenomena and the growth OF
whiskers no longer excites wonder.
The man who shaves today knows
that he will have to shave again
soon though he does not know why.
We cannot understand the inscrut-
able laws of nature.
There was a day when a man
could hold down good job on the

REAL PATRIOTISM.

Such speeches as Carl Vrooman.
assistant secretary of agriculture de-
ivered in Fargo today, are Of the
type that are needed in every part Of
America at this critical time.
p He did not spare the selfish, I'M
patriotic, sodden. steel makers" and
fayed them for their despicable con-
duct in extorting millions in dirty
profits from their country's need. In
forceful, ringing words he backed up
the words Of President Wilson, who
said that profits and patriotism
should not be mentioned in the same
sentence.
But Mr.. vrooman saw the good in
America as we'll as the evil.
He saw the doughnut as we'll as
the hole.
He didn't class every man who had
acquired a competence as a traitor,
nor every man who by hard work,
energy, and thrift had managed to
acquire a farm. business, or a fac
tory of his own. as an enemy Of the
nation.
Never before" said he, have the
business men of a nation shown
such patriotism as they have shown
in the United States during the last
three months. Instead of regarding
the war as an opportunity to extort
war profits from a dazed and dis
tracted government, many of them
have offered not only their services
but their enormous business organ
izations and properties to the gov
eminent on any conditions it might
see At to impose.
J. Mr.. Vrooman made it clear that
patriotism was not the property of
ANY class of citizens, and was not
determined by race, color, creed. or
occupation. 1t was a stirring appeal
for clean, patriotic and heroic sup
port Of the government in it's con-
duct OF the war, without selfishness.
without conditions, and without the
advancement of selfish interests.
