1t Couldn't Be Done

Somebody said that it couldn't
be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't" but
he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd,
tried.
So he buckled right in, with a
trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried,
he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done and he
did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll
never do that
At least, no one has ever done
it,;
But he took off his coat and he
took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew
he'd begun it,
With lift of his chin and a bit
of a grin,
Without any doubling or puid-
dit.
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done and he
did it.
There are thousands who'll tell
you it cannot be done,
There are thousands who
prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out
to you, one by one,
The dangers that await to
assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of
a grin,
Then take off your coat and
go to it;
lust start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done"
you, II do it.

An American Holy Alliance

According to The Tribunes Washington
dispatches Secretary Lansing is willing to
follow the logic of one of his newly an
nounced Latin-American policies, however
far toward eccentricity that logic may carry
him. He is reported as assuring the ousted
President of Costa Rica that the United
States will never recognize the govern
ment which drove him into exile, even If
the head of the latter submits his claims TO
the people of Costa Rica and receives a
vote of confidence from them. This is an
absolutely new departure in American di-
plomacy. 1t introduces the fine old mo-
narchical principle of legitimacy-and di-
vine right of all established governments
to continue in existence. 1t is the prin-
ciple on which the Holy Alliance was
founded and against the implications OF
which. so far as the restoration of Spanish
sovereignty in the revolted Americas was
concerned, James Monroe and John Quincy
Adams protested, making their protest
memorable through the issuance of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Now the Monroe Doctrine has found a
fantastic Interpreter in Mr.. Lansing. The
divine right of revolution in Mexico has
been preached with great assiduity by
President Wilson for the last three years.
Yet Mr.. Lansing has evidently either not
read or conveniently forgotten all those
preachments-som of them going to the
length of waving any assertion Of Ameri-
can rights in Mexico which might handi-
cap the progress there of the Villa-Car-
rama revolutionary uplift. And how about
the famous Virginia Bill of Rights, de-
Tending revolution, which Mr.. Wilson so
strongly eulogized in a message to Con-
gress only fourteen months ago?
Yet here we are now with an American
HOLY Alliance on our hands. How long
will it last? How long will it be before we
get back to sound principles of interna-
tional law-admitting once more that
government which the people of any indie
pendent sovereignty establish and consent
to ought to be recognized, after the fact OF
its establishment is clear, as competent
de fdcto government?

Our Streets as Museums

"Our streets should be museums, with
something in every street to interest
passersby."
This statement is not made by a curio
collector or an auctioneer, but by one Of
the members of the New York City Art
Commission. How does this speaker
view the city streets-whirling through
in an automobile?
The citizen in his ordinary days walk
passes excavations and heaps of gravel,
sand and stone which would do credit to
the mound builders. Mazes Of pipe lines
are exposed TO view, curiously curved
sewer passageways and blackened pools
Of water.
Pushcarts piled with strange laces,
Persian scarfs and brilliant hued ribbons
line some of the streets and are fanked
by other carts filed with smoking pota-
toes or soused behring's.
In the Chinese quarter the windows
have dozens Of weird vegetables on dis
play at which the ordinary gazer blinks
and ponders over the names and uses Of
each. Other sections are best distin-
guished by clotheslines strung across the
house fronts.

A Patriot
,From The Boston Journal

,FroB, The Boston JourHaD
"Tll do it," In Just so many words the
career of William B. Endicott, millionaire
shoe manufacturer, was suspended and the
career of William B. Endieott, director OF
public safety, began.
Mr.. Endicott's acceptance of the executive
management of the Massachusetts committee
of public safety is typical of old-fashioned
solid patriotism.
One of the great manufacturers of the
country, man CT wide business interests,
man absorbed in the work of perfecting his
own great business machine, gives his whole
ability to the state. He puts personal ambl-
ton on the shelf and offers to the public SER
vice the full power of his efforts A part
time service to the state would not be eX-
traordinary Mr.. Endicott without mo-
ment's hesitation, drops everything. Inc
business that has been his life's work Is
thrown aside and he takes up the cause OF
public which doesn't even know him by sight.
The work TO be performed by the safety
committee would be as important in time OF
war as the work Of soldiers and sailors. Our
great cities, our public properties, our indus
tries. our transportation, must be protected
night and day. A great police organization
is necessary for that Our man power and
factory power must be carefully surveyed
and our resources measured and gathered.
greater organization is necessary for that
William B. Endcott is the man chosen to
direct the endless research.
Preparedness, as the public now realizes
has been joke in these two years OF vague
discussion at Washington. The ordeal OF war
is at hand, and the country is unprotected
Without. unorganzed within. The govern
ment has no system. Everything depends now
upon the business leaders Of America. Inc
big men who loom up IN the chaouc weeks
Just ahead will be our highest nope IN war;
our safest guides to peace.

ness than at the prospect of some private
manufacturers possibly making profits out
of the arms and ammunition we need so
sorely This paralyzing conscience OF the
legislator is no new thing. We see the
same influence at work in the shortsighted
and stupid, not to say criminal, discour-
agement of the electro-chemical industries
upon which so many of the essentials of
defensive preparation depend.
The board presided over by Colonel
Francis J.. Herman naturally has but little
patience with those who are fearful of en-
couraging private industries and can "see
no way in which they could hope to derive
any benefits from war in which this coun-
try is involved" On the other hand, CO.
operation between such industries and the
government is the only hope, and 1t is
urgently necessary to take steps to that
end. And such steps must be taken with
out further delay.
