Think more of your own progress than of
the opinion of others.-Mendelssohn
1NAcCURACY AND RuMoRs.

Quite rightly the government asks editors of
the nations newspapers to avoid as far pos
sble the circulation of rumors calculated to up
set the peoples confidence. There have been
many such rumors and they have probably been
instigated by enemy propaganda In addition
to this direct attack by false publicity, there
have also been rumors printed by the press in
good faith which might better have remained
unpublished. But here the government has it.
self considerably to blame 1t maintains an of
fetal bureau of publicity. But the news which
the people demand does not come through this
bureau, nor, indeed, can it be reasonably ex-
pccted To so come except in matters directly
concerned with the war conduct. But it has
been difficult to get from the government much
news which is legitimate for publication. A gain
there have come from government sources
even from government officials, statements no
doubt made in good faith but proved to be IL
lusory TO fact Nothing breeds rumor so
quickly as inaccuracy in statements from sources
from which accuracy is expected. If the gov
eminent has its grievances, so have the people.
A better cooperation is possible and will be vel
coined by everybody

THE WAGES OF 1NCREDuL1rY.

Germany must thank an increduous world
for the successes he has had. It is because the
people, the wise and good included, in the ma
Etions of England, France and the United
States did not believe possible the thing which
she gave evidence of having in view that she is
still threatening world freedom. She made no
secret in act or deed of her military intention
Her army her pride; the world was well
come to see it. Her public prints asserted the
right OF Germany to overlordship and told how
it could be achieved When the war began the
world declared it could not last over few
months. England and France were slow in tax
ing it seriously.
We were equally obtuse When the Lusi-
tania was sunk, few of our fearless men de-
clared that we should put ourselves to the task
OF making ready to insure the defeat of Ger
many since we must fight her sooner or later
They were then jngoes. For a year many of
our leaders of all parties decried the probable
ity Of our being involved in the war. President
Wilson was content to seek reelection on the
ground of having kept us out Of war. He let
his foresighted secretary of war, Mr. Garrison.
be driven from office because Mr.. Garrison was
committed to making us ready to fight with all
our powers two years ago Even within the last
six months some Of have been in doubt
whether our army would really enter the fight
ing. President Wilson declared his trust in
promises from Berlin, while Berlin was plotting
and REASONABLY acting within few blocks of
the white house. Incredulity has been Ger
many best friend
Because men reach conclusions that satisfy |
their logic they gradually lose their open mind.
The thing that does not square with reason as
they comprehend it becomes for them impos
sible. Now hell of war is carrying late con
viction to them.

edgment of fault does not satisfy
teacher, No. sir, she must have an
explicit confession of blame and
shame. She likes to humiliate the poor
parent, that's what she does! So if
Johnny or Mary is tardy Or has not
done his or her home work or some
thing, just because Parents were up
late playing bridge and made the chill
dren go to bed early, and breakfast
was late on account of parents being
sleepy, the unfeeling teacher, instead
of politely attributing the fault to the
natural deprayity of children, and let
ting it go at that, insists upon an Eek
cuse" That means that the parent
must take his pen in hand and his i'm
mortal soul in jeopardy, and compose
some fearful and wonderful lie, or else
boldly confess to weakness that
cughtn't be made public, for the sake
of the family reputation. Something
ought to be done about it, that's what.
