war almost totally unprepared-with
neither ships, munitions Of war, nor yet
Of sailors or soldiers
TIE truth is, T. Wilson is too co.
IDLY to defend t'.e country IS his oath
of ofice recited. it Yves a mixture of
conceit and poltrconery that caused him
to INSIST upon being made Dictator SO
tha he alone would decide all questions,
all courses. Had he asked Congress 10
give power to arm our shipping, several
of the 13 who opposed His demand for
diet .torship would have voted for his
other demand to arm our shipping.
His pretence that only cloture in its
most drastic form could get Congress
to pass the ship-arming bill, was false
and he knew it was false-indeed, he
also knew that he as President possessed
plenary powers to arm t.o.- ships with
out asking authority from Congress.
This is proved BY Tie fact that he has
done 50 despite the refusal Vi 5he late
Congress- to grant him such power.
Then again why did be not cali the
extra session Of Congress at once il this
time of national peril? No, this poor,
vain scribbler wished to have the whole
government Of the country in this time
of great danger placed il his hands. But
when driven by an insistant public
opinionto forego his plan 10 be Gar,

lEALrH AND TIE NATION.

III AL III RlGG f--- trr iSis.
The greatness OF nation largely
depends upon tho health Of the peo.
pie and this health is closely connect
ed with the habits &nd moral character
Of The people As 4 general prup0Si-
ton, i'll health is the result 0l tie vio-
lation Of natural law and it should
not be forgotten that natural law is al
so divine law. SO after all, the health
of a nation is largely matter of moral
character, says Ohio State Journal. Il
sometimes seems different, but e1pe-
rierce is sure to cCnfrm tbs logic.
Health is harmony, and that harmony
consists largely in observing Tie moral
law. Emerson said: 'The end ol al!
political struggle is to establish NOR
ality as the basis Of ali legislation"
and especially of all legislation affect
ing the care OF the peoples health.
So, wherever we turn we find that
rigI teousness eXalteth q nation, and
that exaltation can be well expressed
in harmony and health. IL the pur-
pose of the government is to promote
the good Of the people, the idea that
moral habit is outside of its jurisdic-
ton is absurd; not moral habit by
force but by such an arrangement OF
the social and political situation as
will encourage cleanliness, franlness,
cou, tesy, temperance, good will and
those qualities that are as good for
the stomach as for the soul.

BACK TO HIS CABBAGES

THAT feeble Roman off Autocrat,
/ the amiable Nicholas, like the old
Roman emperor weary of the purple, has
dropped his perilous cares Of State and
betaken himself off to his paternal es-
tates in Lividla, Crimea, to look after
the imperial cabbages.
While the fashion of his self-renun-
citation is not so creditable as the sturdy
old Roman fighters, yet all the same II
NAV be better for the cabbages, and
surely will be for the Russian Nation
That he was forced so suddenly to doff
the autocratic robes of the White Gar,
to don the gardeners corduroys ne may
thank that German wife of his, who
like the Kaiser's sister, wife Of Con
stantine the Greek king, was doing her
best, helped by the German spies and
Bureaucrats to defeat the armies Of
Russia.
1t is now known that this powerful
German ring surrounding her weak
husband refused to forward guns, ar
tillery, &c., to the bold and successful
Grand Duke Nicholas, and thus left
him and his army as helpless as big
drove of sheep before that wonderfu'
soldier, Won Hindenburg, who with the
rest of the German commanders had
been so successful when attacking the
smaller armies of Belgium, Serbia and
Rumania, is mighty hunter Of hu
man sheep, helpless, unarmed soldiery!

The tendency OF the age is shown by
the publication of so many stories in
magazines of good repute. 1t used
to be that the articles in a reputable
magazin,. we're instructive, but of late
they seem to be more ON the enter
taining sort. and the change takes the
form Of novels. The other Gay we
took up first-class magazine to look
for some sensible and substantial read
ing, and found all the articles st0-
ries but one, and that was on the en-
tertaining ORDER says Ohio State Jour
nal. It means that people don't like
to think, and this indicates that the
habit of thinking is growing weaker.
1t is a great pity that in these days,
when there is so much to think about,
that the ability to think is not. as great
as it ought to be, and it never will be
as long as the novel takes the first
place in the peoples reading. Mind,
we say the first place, the monopoly OF
ones time and attention, which should
not be. Our favorite magazine, 80 or
30 years ago. has disappeared. 1t con-

THREE WEAK PRESIDENTS

EOR the third time in its history our
country has the signal misfortune
to have weak, vacillating character
for president during time of great
national danger.
Its first illustration was the timid
Monroe, in the war Of 1872 who, like
Mr.. Wilson, ridicued the idea of any
war preparation, and when the Red
coats showed up one day in Washing
ton, ignobly scuttled out Of the city,
bag and baggage, leaving it and the
Capitol prey to the ruffian British to
be sacked and burned.
The second illustration was Buchanan,
whose cowardly, vacillating course at
the outbreak of the Civil War, encour
aged treason and left the national gov
ernment helpless to defend itself from
the Secessionists.
The third illustration, that Of Mr..
Wilson's feeble wavering policies, his
amazing refusal in the face of such
plain warnings, to prepare to meet the
emergency of war, is but too familiar
to all.
How each days history in the Great
War condemns Mr.. Wilson's tardy wob-
bling policies Ever doing the wrong
thing, the foolish, the cowardly thing
For two years after the Lusitiania Mas
sacre of 1850 men, women and children,
lis of whom were Americans, lawfully,
peacefully sailing the free ocean, Mr..
Wilson has been responding to each sue
cessive under-sea assassination with
childish notes of feeble protest mingled
with sugary protestations Of great ad-
miration for Germany's high honor and
.sdeep friendship for our country y
With Uncle Sans anatomy shot full
of holes, Mr.. Wilson could not believe
that his dear Germans meant anything
wrong by their playful use Of bombs and
torpedoes, and to each fresh murderous
outrage our "peace at any price" pres
ident issued another bit of honled rhe-
toric. while the whole world looked on
with amused contempt at this amazing
duel between the harmless presidential
typewriter and the deadly German sub
marines.
Rut the absurd, one-sided war is al
an end. For over two years we have
been at war in this inglorious one-sideo
fashion.

The Campaign in Asia.

After some days of silence regarding
the British campaign in Mesopotamia
word comes of activity in that region
showing that the pursuit of the Turkish
armies up the Tigris and Euphrates val
leys has not. as claimed from Con-
stantinoplc, been abandoned. 1t is true
that the British forces are not pressing
forward as rapidly as during the days
preceding and Immediately following
the capture of Bagdad, but they are ex-
tending their front from the Euphrates
to the Tigris and east of the latter river.
Their intention is evidently to prevent
flank movement by the Turks and per-
haps to effect a junction WITH the Rus
SLAMS who, at latest accounts, had crossed
the Persian Turkish border into the
vilayet of Mozul. With this junction
secured the allied force will be in a
position to advance upon the city of
Mozul, the present terminus of the Bag
dad railway. Meanwhile a British force
is advancing toward Jerusalem and the
capture of that city is to be expected
as result Of the campaign in Syria
shortly. With the Arabs in revolt Tur-
kish control of Medina and Mecca is
practically lost. With Bagdad and per
haps in a short time Jerusalem in the
hands of the British the Turks will be
in a serious predicament politically.
They are fighting defensively at all
points, being obviously outnumbered
and gradually hemmed into a narrow
space. Enver Bey recently visited Ber-
lin to confer with the German high
command, and it has been announced
that Germany would soon proceed with
the reorganization of the Turkish army.

The House Committees.

The more important committees Of the
House will enjoy the benefit of expert
enced counsel. Both democrats and re-
publicans have assigned members ac-
cording to past services.
This should prove Of signal value as
respects both foreign and domestic af-
fairs. Men who have legislated in pre-
vious Houses will be associated with
men now taking their first lessons in
law making, and while showing the new
corners the ropes will find something of
interest in the suggestions Of novices.

never popular, however necessary, and
especially when in raising large sums of
money recourse must be had to means Of
intimate daily concern.
But in some way or ways a great deal
of money must be raised, and the plan

value of having men on the ways and

matters, and able to address themselves

The veterans of the committee have
within the past few years been engaged
as legislators on revenue raising. AS
