For the Protection of Americans

The president according to the dispatches of yes
erday morning is considering going before congress
to ask for authority protect American lives
German submarine operations. No doubt such
authority would be readily granted with the unan-
imous approval OF the people of this country. Still
more enthusiastic would be the approval of a plan
by the president for which authority by congress is
not necessary for the protection of Amer
leans residing in this country along the Mexican Dor
der. More American lives have been sacrificed there
and in Mexico under the supposed protection their
country. than have been lost in all opera
tons since the began. We suppose ten Amer
leans have been killed to every one who has gone
down into the waves following the torpedoing of a
bellgerent vessel which he travelling.
The president is right in asking authority to pro-
tect Americans wherever they have a right to be.
But the task nearest hand should be first seized
upon those evils which are the most easily
avodable German submarines threaten neither the
lives property of citizens who remain under the
American flag on land sea. but Americans who live
along border are not safe from Mexican bandits

We have hitherto delicately alluded to the street

thus maintained is ingenously naive and simple
that many people, who aged pioneers are per-

thing that puzzles these outlanders When car gets

but still terminal another waiting
the clock to round again. when it takes another
with it and thus is the exact schedule
again. So it passes a given point the line
before it is expected. Nobody has risk death of
heart disease by rushing for unexpected cars
There is one little drawback, however. While the
is waiting for the round of the CLOCK passen
gers waiting along the line for periods of
fifteen minutes forty-fve and some hurried or
naturally irritable persons sometimes heard

But these frequent adjustments of the to the

where, the members of the so-called better
element They members only of society for
better element ideals, but element which does not
qualify to take a part in elections is very good
element. Ideals which simply remain ideals
useless. The mere contemplation idle, wordy discus
sion, of them is waste of time and wind. Even the
empty wind spent in talking about ideals is of
value than the most beautiful ideal that could be
conceived and which does not become fact
The trouble with those who believe themselves
be of the better element and rather above the
ddness of politics. is that they expect their neghbors
of the supposed better element engage the
work of redemption. very natural result is that
nobody engages in it and things go on as they were
