OPTIMISM

CBy Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Talk happiness. The world Is sad
enough
Without your w"os. No path is wholly
rough;
Look for the places that are smooth and
clear.
And speak to those. to rest the weary
OF earth. so hurt by one continuous
strain
OF human discomfort. and grief, and pain.
Talk faith. The world is better of
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
doubt.
If you have faith in God. or man, or
self.
Say so; II not, push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith
shall come,
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, never-changins
tale
OF mortal maladies Is worn and stale,
You cannot charm, or interest Or please
By hsrping on that minor chord. disease.
Say you are we'll. or all is well with you.
And God shall hear your words and make
them true

A Reflection.

The humiliation OF the armed
ship muddle is cast upon the Senate,
or that obstreperous part of it which
is now burned in effigy and repudi-
ated by their constituencies.
There is no doubt, however, that
if the President had acted promptly
upon the rupture of relations with
Germany, the present chaos would
have been averted. 1t was a tactical
error, however good in logic or the
ory it may have been.
For the President it may be argued
that he was anxious for the welfare
of Americans then trying to get out
of Germany, including Ambassador
Gerard; that he had faint hope the
German foreign Office would recede
from its radical and reckless step;
that American ships would be spared
by the submarine assassins. On the
first count he was perhaps justified;
certainly not on the latter two. 1t is
not conceivable that after a two
years contact with German men,
dacity in diplomacy even an idealisi
could believe that a leopard could
change his spot overnight. 4
The delay has been disastrous. The
President is doing his best to repair
the error, apparently. and he has the
nation behind him. Even now there

A QUESTION.
You wash your face and brush your hair,
And keep your hands all white and
clean,
That you may seem surprising fair
When in some public place you're seen.
But when the night has passed away.
And back the shades Of darkness roll,
What do you DO each newborn day
To manicure" your Heart and Soul?

The effect is bad. not only on the Sem

1T is surprising to note that the Senate
is labOring under an antiQuated rule-a
rule which permitted few to throttle the
will of the majority.
How many good and Just laws have
met the same fate as the armed ship

way? No doubt the House has a few
rules that are obsolete. but so far they
have resulted in no such miserable pea
