Prsident Carries Best Wishes
OF Nation With Him On Trip
To Peace Conference.

New York, Dee. 7.--Whatever opin-
ion may be. held concerning the advis-
ability of President Wilson s personal
attendance at the peace conference dur
ing critical period here; he has gone
with the nation S sincere wishes for a
safe and successful mission. As chief
ruler of this great republic, Mr.. Wilson
will receive many honors and u hearty
welcome among all the allies. 1t is
quite probable that the demonstrations
and honors accorded him will be extra
ordinary; for the fact that Mr.. Will
son has made himself immensely popu-
lar abroad will intensity the desire OF
the allies to express their appreciation
Of Americas help in acts as well as
In words.
President Wilson's message to Con-
gress contained nothing striking, except
his views upon the railroads, which as
they become better understood com
mand the approval of all fair minded
men. His prime object is evidently
TO treat both public and owners fairly.
He states it is impossible for the roads
to go back to the old system of unre-
strained competition and multiform
regulation by both state and federal au-
thorities. He intimates as an alterna
tive the establishing of complete gov
eminent control, accompanied, if nece-
sary, by government ownership; or else
modified private control, unified more
closely upon a regional basis Finally
he intimates his unwillingness to take
a positive stand on the problem; pre-
ferring to leave the entire subject to
congress; and he also states that he
would rather not wait for action until
the expiration of the statutory period,
2l months after peace. was declared.
The ground for this attitude is that
he considers such a course would pro-
long injurious uncertainty. Another fa-
vorable development was the concilia-
tory attitude of leading railway execu-
tives. On Wednesday a meeting of the
Railway Executives Advisory commit
tee, representing 80 per cent of the
country's railroad mileage, met at the
Chamber of Commerce to consider the
return of the railroads to peace basis
An admirable spirit was manifested
and a series Of resolutions adopted fa-
voring the preservation Of private mi
tiative and responsibility; opposition to
government ownership; adoption of rea-
sonable and adequate regulation, and
recommendation that the remaining
period of federal control be devoted to
maintaining the integrity of individual
properties and preparing for their re-
turn to their owners. Events are there
for running more favorably for the rail.

Roosevelt Tells Of Amusing Experience
Of His Youthful Days In the
Cattle Country.

In the oldtime cattle country and In
the backwoods nobody was supposed
to think Of any necessary work as de-
grading. Abiding to 0ldstyle Ameri-
can conditions in recent issue Of the
American, Theodore Roosevelt narrates
his experiences as shoe black. He
says, reminiscently:

idle morning BACKED all the boots.
Ordinarily our boots did not need
backing most of them were not that
kind. On this occasion started, with
an enthusiasm that outran my judg-
ment, to black the dress boots of every
fone of both sexes. II coated them with
a thick, duh paste; onlysa few knobs
became shiny; and the paste came off
freely on what it touched. AS result
l temporarily lost not merely the re-
spect but even the affection of all the
other inmates of the house.
However, l did not lose caste be-
cause I had BACKED the boots. I lost

HOW INDIANA LOST CITIZEN
Escapade That Caused Youth to Turn
His Thoughts Toward the ~'Nsild
and WooIIy" Region.

Harry COonse, ranchman and real
estate expert In the far Northwest, re-
turned to indianapolis from his home
near Seattle after an absence Of four
teen years. 1t Is not widely known,
but Mr.. Coonse, when boy Of 10.
started in business as helper on q
delivery wagon of L. S. Ayres & Co.
started and ended his dry goods career
In an unusual and interesting manner.
Harry, out of his first months wages,
had bought rifle and box of car
tridges. One evening in Park avenue
the delivery man went into a house
with a package, leaving Harry on the
drivers seat in charge of what was
common at that time-a Texas mus
tang-well broken, but still worth
watching. Instead of holding the lines
Harry spent the interim handling a
new rife. AS often happens, the gun
was discharged and the bullet struck
the mustang. Harry made one grab
for the lines, missed, tumbled off the
seat and the wagon disappeared down
the street, .strewing packages In Its
path.
AT dawn the next morning the horse
and wagon were found in the Pleasant
Inn bottoms, near, the place where the
furnaces Of the Citizens Gas company

Army Horses Good. 7ernpered.

It's weary, wicked world If you
are an army horse. You may or may
not approve Of shoes, but you've got
to have them just the same. The
French authorities have an ingenious
contrivance which so pinions horse
that he has absolutely nothing to say
in the matter. It holds his head, and
holds his feet and holds his body, and
forcibly prevents him from expressing
an opinion, or choosing his shoes, Or
making protest in any way. If they
would only let fellow get in just one
real horse-size kick one could-but
what's the use. In the meantime the
farrier gets in his fine work, and then
1t is too late. Yes, it's hard, cold,
cruel world, SO it is. Still, shoes are
not so bad and they give dandy heft
to ones hind hoofs in arguments later
on in the camps.

HAS WON RESPECT OF ALL.
British Working Man, making Good.
as Soldier, Will Never Again Be
Butt Of testers.

What. the poor citizen wants is not.
charity, Tor even sympathy, still less
regulation; it is respect, which is the;
social soil of self-respect. Thatis why
he is sometimes happier as soldier,
in spite of all the sickening horrors OF
soldering; because humanity always
has respected, and always will respect,
soldier.
Thus, Gilbert X. Chesterton, writ
ing in the, Illustrated London News,
sums up an argument which, among
it's premises, contains the following:
after all, it will be well to remem-
Der that nearly every battalion is a
labor battalion. The commonest type
in the trenches the object of such
wide and well-deserved praise In the
press and the public speeches, is, after
all, identical with another type-a
common object of the streets and the
comic papers. The British soldier is
generally our old friend the British
working man.
Gle has lived by trades that are
too often treated as merely grimy or
grotesque,; and in the case of new and
almost crude conscript armies, like
those we have lately raised, he has gen.
orally quite recently dropped those
tools and left those trades. It is the
plumber who is charged with potter
ing about for days before he stops a
small Teak in pipe, who has often in
a few minutes stopped with his body
the breach in the last dyke of civiliza-
ton, lesf At should let in a sea Of saw
agery; and there may even be fewer
jokes ..about his soldering, now they
can be answered by pun about his
soldering. 1t is the cabman, who was
supposed to grumble unduly at a very
differknit sort Of fare, and especially at
at thessort we call warfare"

IA huty That Lies Near.

II only It could be impressed upon
each ana every one Of us that we must
do our duty, whatever that duty may
be and wherever it may be, just as:
well as we possibly can, what a tre-
mendous thing it would be.
1t has been said that if the American
people would save just 10 per cent Of
what they have formerly spent the war
would be, won and victory would be
assured. The girl in the home can do
a tremendous part in the winning Of
this war-she can save in many ways.

FAIL TO GERMANIzE HOLLAND |
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re
sisted All Efforts Made by Its
Powerful Neighbour.

l n E =
That Germany covets. Holland is no
diplomaticgo or other secret. Everybody
knows it. Considering the Dutch char
acter and pride in national independ-
ence which they have manifested ever
since the Dutch language assumed final
shape as. evidence of distinct nationals
ity, it has seemed best to the Hohen-
zollerns to proceed by peaceful means,
among which none is more patent than
intermarriage among influential fam
lilies. And especially there is desired
marriages of German princes and
princesses into the House Of Orange;
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head of the Dutch state.
There has been great success in Sc
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was German
princess and her husband is German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for the House of Orange, the assimila-
ton has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal Dutchman or Dutchwoman
as the most ardent Hollander could de-
sire. observes the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The fact is that the sturdy Dutch
character persists from generation to
generation and forms one Of the most
distinctive types of the human species.
This is not because the German rulers
have not constantly tried to mold it
over, but because they have failed to
do so.
And q. the modern Germans are
impatient that they have dallied so
long with peaceful means and are for
taking by force what they cannot get
| otherwise.

Scripture and Profanity Mixed.

Senator Reed remarked: "Oh hell!"
Senator iOverman expressed the hope
that this expression would go into the
Record. Subsequently Senator Over
man read into the Record section Of
