The Peoples Physique.

Some consideration should be given
to the effect that the change in loco
motion will make upon the physique OF
the people; for even the farmers are
now using the automobile, and the
horse is used for little but draft pur-
poses. Will not the race become lax
and nerveless that Tolls upon soft cush-
ions, protected in every way from the
hard joltings of the road? More and
more, machinery is brought into serv-
ice, and less and less physical exertion
Is required in the carrying on of open
air occupations. Man touches but
ton, and gas engine does the rest.
This makes things easier; but the
question is whether it confers an actual
benefit in the end.-Mobile Register.

THINK OF SERIOUS THINGS.

There are a large number of people living here
who never take an opportunity of thinking what
they are living for. Most of them seem easily
pleased with three meals a day and a place to
sleep, safe and sound, undisturbed by creditors
or troublesome questions Of the day.
The United States is becoming more and more
a factor in the international relations of the
world and it is incumbent upon the people to con.
slider what part they are ready for their nation
to play in this scheme of world affairs.
This question is important, because at any
time the country may face an election in which
the main issues shall be concerning our foreign
policy, more than our domestic policies, which
nave hitherto, with few exceptions, played the
leading roles.

P IN.

The American Congress has always been de-
pended upon to dip in on all possible occasions,
and present international relations proves no ex-
ception to the rule.
There has been considerable talk about the
presidents course in asking the waring countries
to state their terms, but just why the Senate
should but in with a resolution Of approval is not
apparent. AS Senator Lodge points out the
function of dealing with other countries belongs
to the president, and it would be a bad thing when
ever Senator's in their wisdom attempt to pass an
approval upon the act of our representative when
he speaks to the outside world.
We are of the opinion, however, that this
activity in Washington is more on account of the
effect such a resolution may have upon the for
tunes Of European nations than upon the welfare
Of the United States. Those who are trying to
work the resolution through are antagonists Of
the Allies, while those opposed to it are for the
most part their supporters. 1t begins to look like
everything done by Congress must be weighed IN
the scale by arbitrary partisans, who are only
anxious to protect the interests of their favored
alliance.
Unless President Wilson asks the Senate for
action we are Of the opinion that it would be a
good idea for the honorable Senators to keep their
hands off and their mouths shut There is no
use in dividing Congress into a group OF rabld
fanatics, anxious for the success of one or the
other belligerents in Europe.
