CALL NOT THE RIGHTEOUS BUT

AT a midsummer outing of Massa
lchusetts republicans the speakers witt
practically one accord advised the
abandonment of partisan politics in
order to present united front to the
enemy in time Of war The advice
was good--but it was taken to the
wrong party. 1t is not the republicans
who are playing politics with war and
war conditions. They have surren-

operation to the president in every
thing that he has suggested as helpful

votes and without republican
advocacy, the president would have

The president is to be most whole

rest are bogus pacifists.
They are and have been using this
country as the friendly cow" while
they have rewarded her with as little
of their favor and as much Of their
abuse as a lax administration of the
law would permit.
They have filled the ranks of the l..
W. w., of soap-box orators, of revo-
lutionary socialism and of those who
work the wage Garner but not with
them. They have formed the undesir-
able citizen class not always, by any
means, of their own initiative, but be-
cause misled.
In other countries these leading dis
loyalists have been lined up and shot.
The rest have then learned by the on

no individual can be stronger than
the political organization or govern
ment.
The United States will choose the
better way 1t will compel respect for
the flag by making it's defamers, not
kiss 1t, but fight for it. These men
are not to stay at home to make trou-

loyal young men of the country act as
their substitutes.

DAVID AND GOLIATH.
Twin Fails NeMsl

| Somewhere In the Bible Is parallel
of the marvellous feat just recently
performed by Governor Alexander
when he strobe undaunted into the
anarchistic camps of northern Idaho
and single handedly subdued the T.
NV. W., driving the leaders from the
state and putting the fear of Govern
or Alexander into the hearts of those
who remained. The governor did not
even use a sling, but relied entirely
according to his own modest admis-
sion, upon his awe-inspiring person.
! Nor did this modern David entrust
the chronicling of the story to writers
of uncertain repute or to the chance
transmission by word of mouth from
one generation to another but he
himself recorded the facts as he saw
them.
The story, though interesting, is a
little too long for use in these columns.
but one typical incident is selected,
which will post posterity on the sue
cessIul Application OF VIII power to
problems requiring physical courage.
1t follows:
You don't want to shirk. You want
to walk right UP and talk to those
fellows. When l went up, the whole
was in state of terror. The
secret of my success was in my power
to walk up to the men unafraid. 1
went ahead of sheriffs and delega-
ions and met them as man to man,
Ind in that way just cowed them"
1t will be a fine thing for Idaho, II

IRE realized, when Mr. Alexander will

he Congressional Record with similar
ems of thought about himself.

but he has been afraid TO return to
work. This case is one of many, the
result of openly advocated violence,
preaching that has daily for many
weeks come to the attention Of all the
authorities.
Il visited the home of one OF my old
customers He was out of employ
ment because he was afraid and had
been warned. The wife apologized
for not offering me a cup Of tea, but
she explained that there was no tea
in the house and nothing to eat. She,
too, was afraid-afraid to go back to
her grocer because they owed him SO
much and feared she would be refus-
ed further credit.
Men who have never been known
for any deed but deeds of violence
waylay honest men and beat them be-
cause they dare to assert their rights
as free men and decent men, obey the
laws and work for their living. Theil

SONG OF THE sTALW ART.
by Grantland Rice)

(By Grantland Rice)
"Cowards die many times before their
The valiant never taste of death but
once
Whether it's Heaven--or whether it's
Or whether It's merely Sleep;
Or whether it's something in between
Where ghosts of the lf-gods creep:
Since it comes but once-and 1t comes
On the one fixed, certain date
Why drink of the dregs till the Cup
arrives
On the gray day set by Fate?
The coward looks to the gray beyond
And his heart grows white with fear;
The dark is deep that he may not see
As the end of the game draws near;
But the valiant turns to newer road
That leads through the out bound
gates,
Where each drab soul of the realm
must fare
And the Great Adventure waits.
One by one till the line is passed
The gutter-born and the crown;
So what is a day or year or two
Since the answers written down?
What is day to a million years
When the last winds sound the call?
So here's to the days that rest be-
tween
And here's DO the last of all!

PRESIDENT PLAYS POLITICS.
Duluth News Tribune)


The appointment of cambridge Col
by, New York lawyer, to succeed to
the head of the shipping board, was
held up in the senate. The New York
World calls this putting craftsmanship
above national necessity"
1t never occurs to the World OF to
any democratic organ, that in MAX
ing such an appointment President
Wilson may have done this same thing
put partisanship above national ne
cessity
1t happens that Mr. Colby has a
Ivoluminous political record. AS part
of it he switched from republican to
progressive in 1912. In 1916 he sup
ported Mr. Wilson ito keep us out of
war;"
He was one of the leading factors in
New York who attempted to use the
progressive organization for Mr.. Will
son. He was especially rampunctious
in hiss attitude. He was abusive of
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Hughes and every
one else who did not agree with him.
He was chosen for favor by Mr.. Will
son just as was Creel for the head of
the censorship board. That he is ne
cessary Is a joke. That he is of the
temperament to head such body as
the shipping board no one can seri-
ously claim
His is exactly the disposition and
nature that does not belong there and
should not be trusted with such re-
sponsibility He is worse than the
man he would succeed and whose

luest

Whatever may be the final outcome
of the crisis in Russia, President Will
son has the satisfaction of knowing
that in sending commission headed
by Elihu Root to assist in the estab-
lishment of stable government, he
made at least one move in the great
war drama for which he will have no
misgivings. Mr.. Root is Americas
greatest living statesman. the man
above all Others capable of advising
the leaders of the revolution in the
formation of representative govern
ment. His associates were equally
well adapted to the special work for
which they We're selected. Had the
president acted with equal good judg
ment in selecting men for high posi-
tons in Washington, the work of pre-
paration for the great struggle with
Germany would be further advanced
than 1t is today.

The Kid Has Gone
to the COlOrS

W. M. Herschell in Indianapolis News
The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child. baby.
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that 1t whispered.
'tCOme!"
The Kid, not being @ Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot JOY
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud Of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse OF fear.
His dad. when he told him, shuddered,
His motherhood bless her!-cried;
Yet, blest with mother nature,
She wept with mother pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened,
Was Grandad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

CITIZENSHIP FOR ANfERI.
CAN WIVES OF FOREIGNERS

Washington, May 14.-The pres
ent law that provides that an Amer
lean woman marrying a foreigner
thereby assumes the citizenship of
her husband is considered by Miss
Jeanette Rankin, republican repre-
sentative from Montana, to be a de-
cided injustice to the women of the
country. If a man married a foreign
woman of course he does not neces-
sarily renounce his citizenship, and
in order to secure equal rights for
her sex Miss Rankin has introduced
bill declaring that an American
women shall retain her citizenship
upon marrying a foreigner unless
she shall In writing renounce it.
Furthermore, Miss Rankin's measure
might be said to be retroactive as it
provides that an American woman
now married to a foreigner and re-
siding in the United States may re-
sumo her American citizenship by
filing a declaration with any natur-
alization court within her iurisdic-
ton. The bill has been referred to
the Committee on immigration and
Naturalization, and Miss Rankin in
tends to do her utmost to secure a
favorable report.
