colo.e, Roosevelt. Offer

The United States has. At this
time. need OF all OF its resources.
using the term In its most compre-
hensiye sense. Nothing should be
allowed to 20 TO waste. Especially
needfui are the resources in men OF
character. qualified by intelligence,
experience and energy for leadership.
Some one has recently said that Pres
ident Wilson could hardly do Q wiser
thing than summon to his aid In this
crisis men OF distinction In all par
ties. headed by the two former pres
idents. At any rate all lines Of
partisanship should be wiped out.
temporarily. at least: all personal
prejudices should be obliterated, II
Is only the nation and the cause
in which It Is enlisted that must be
considered now. Should the bresi-
dent issue such a summons. the re-
Spouse would. without doubt, be
prompt and hearty.
Some who, politically speaking.
have been as far from the president
as the North Pole Is from the South.
have not waited for an invitation,
but, impelled by patriotic fervor.
have anticipated IT, Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt Is one OF these. He
offers to raise and to lead 4 divis-
Ion OF volunteers for oversee ser
vice. No person informed with re-
gard TO his popularity and influence
will question his ability to raise A.
well as to command such q force.
II given the authorization and the
commission necessary, volunteers
would come streaming toward the
headquarters from every point Of
the compass His division could not
hold them all.
Why should he not be SO author
ized7 Who could be better entitled
TO head the first expedition to
France. or. perhaps. to Belgium or
Germany. than one who has held the
rank of commander-in-chief of the
army and navy OF the United States?
Whose example. in person and fol-
lowing. would do more toward ar
ousing popular enthusiasm and stim-
ulating enlistment,
There is reason TO believe that the
president looks with favor upon the
measure which. II enacted by con-
gress. will grant Colonel Roosevelt
the privilege he seeks and insure to
the nation the service II needs. Not
alone in raising and leading the di-
vision, but In arousing a sentiment
throughout the whole country that
would make for the raising OF many
other divisions. would Colonel Roose-
velts active participation in the war
be valuable. - Christian Science

An Unpaid Debt
lF'rom the New York Tribune.)

When President Wilson last ann
mer told the Big Four chiefs that 60
ciety for this free use of its name and
ing day, and then backed their demand
upon Congress for a law comnelIine
a raise in pay, he evidently felt that
some compensation was due To Co
ciety sanctioned the eight-hour work
power. SO he urged, along with the
proposal which subsequently became
the Adamson law, proposal for
legislation prohibiting strikes and
lockouts in railroad service until in
vestigation Of the dispute had been
made Congress, as EVERYDAY knew
would be the case, passed the meas
ure demanded by the labor unions
and threw the Presidents other rec
concentrations into the scrap bean
The excuse for failure to act on them
was the lack OF time.
Now, for the second time this ses-
sion, the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce has voted overwhelm-
ingly against this proposal to pro-
hibit strikes. The President is com
mitted TO il as thoroughly and com
pletely as words can commit him. He
pledged himself in the campaign to
this compensation to Society for what
Society must give to the brotherhood
members, if the Adamson Jaw, which
he advocated, ever goes into effect
He renewed his recommendations
when Congress reassembled.
But Congress shows no more dis
position now to heed those recon-
mendations than it did at the end Of
the last session. Short of the kind Of
influence the President used on Con-
gress in favor OF the "eight-hour"
law, no power exists which can pro-
cure the passage of this legislation,
and up to date there is no indications
that the President Intends to exert
himself in behalf of Society as he ex-
erted himself last summer in behalf
OF the members of the brotherhoods.
Tbe-net result is that the brother
hoods have something-jus what
they do not know-and Society has

that il should be protected in future

from any recurrence of the circum-
stances which permitted the railway
unions TO perpetrate their monument
tai hold-up!
That is small consolation to So
ciety It must be manifest to the
President now, as it was manifest 10
most people when the threatened
strike was throwing official Washing
ton into panic. that it was a serious
mistake not to embody the two pro-
posals-the compliance with the
brOtherhoods' demands and the prohi-
hition Of strikes. pending Investigation
in one piece Of legislation. If that
had been done. either society would
not have been called on to pay with
out betting protection-that is, the
bill would have failed-or Society
would have had the assurance that In
paying. in giving what the brother
hoods required as the price for call
ing of their hold-up. it was buying
protection against any similar enter
prise in future.
The substitute legislation which
Senator Newland's committee is con-
sidering scarcely requires serious no.
tice. It would not prohibit strikes.
II would not even postpone report
to forepending investigation of the
causes Of dispute as the Presidents
proposal recommended II would be,
if enacted, only a makeshift not one
tenth so far-reaching as the remedy
the President has declared repeatedly
Society ought 10 have at hand to
prevent any future possibility Of the
economic disaster which a general
railroad strike would produce.
As matters stand Society has had
the short end Of il. The President
undertook to adjust this question for
the benefit of all. and it has not been
so adjusted. The next move is for
the President to take Congress has
bowed, before now, when he cracked
the whip 1t remains TO be seen
whether he is as willing to crack the
whip on Society's account as he was
for the benefit Of a small section Of
Society.

DOVER, Jan. 27.-Another OF a SER
les of bills prepared under the direc-
ton Of the State Board of Education
for the betterment of rural schools OF
Delaware was introduced in the
House yesterday afternoon by Repre-
sentative Ellison OF Red Lion hun
bred. This bill authorizes the county

discipline.
Such supervising teacher under the
act would hold office during the pleasure
Of the State board, and would receive
salary of $500 annually and a contin
gent fund Of s4OO annually. One pecu-
liar point abolt the bill - that olthOugh
