IMPATIENT OPTIMISM -

Former President Taft has used q phrase
which aptly fits the mood OF the nation as it en-
tiers its second year Of the war. He says that
the spirit of impatient optimism is prevalent
That is just the feeling that all good citizeng.
both those who criticise and those who applaud
the details Of the war work done, have IN large
measure. We have put an army into battle
three thousand miles from our shores and our
navy has not permitted the loss Of a nan on
transports which it has conveyed. We have
trlpled our military nanpower and are By way
OF tremendously increasing it in the immediate
future; We have under execution plans TO
make our navy the second in the world and in
the matter Of submarine chasers the first in the
world; we have made probably what are our
most serious mistakes and are now recovering
from them Just here is where the element Of i'm
patience enters the reasonable optimism which
inspires our confident hopes. SO many OF the
mistakes we have made were unnecessary and
the discovery of them and the recovery from
them are made with needless tardiness But
apathy Is well nigh gone; the peoples energetic
support is engaged in the war and the time ia
near when the government will not need to mil
against popular inertia; on the contrary IT ia AL
ready feeling the spur of popular irnpatience

TIE NEW WAY.

We are likely to see sharp contrasts between
the old and the new way of dealing with indus
trial disputes, and the strike danger viii de-
crease as more attention is given to the ad-
vantages of adjustment through mediation.
Much viii be gained if all differences between
employers and employees considered by men
specially qualified to deal with them, and this
requirement seems to have been met in the APP
pointment of members of the railroad admins
tration's board of adjustment, which will deal
with disputes over contracts and employment
conditions arising between railroad manage
ments and the four big railway brotherhoods.
The board includes in its membership the as
sistant general manager of the Pennsylvania
lines and the vice president of the conductors
They and all the other members
are qualified TO speak intelhgently for the in
terests which they represent The board will
not deal directly with wage questions. On
questions of contracts and conditions of en-
its decisions will be final. All the in
terests involved will be served by settlement of
through negotiation.

THE REAL LINCOLN.

New York Sun: There is oae mis-
conception concerning Lincoln nuf-
tured in cheap oratory and sentiment
al ignorance which should be destroy
ed. 1t is that which represents him
as having been iil-born. In truth. he
came from the best stock the country
has known. He sprang from the pr
cneers who cleared the forest and did
the heavy work OF civilization in the
wilderness. They lived q hard life.
did hard work and achieved great re-
cults. but their virtues of self-reliance,
Independence and industry apparently
count for little with some persons
who are gravely affected by such in
cidents as their failure to learn how
to rod and write. or their neglect
TO put hardwood floors in the rough
cabins that were their homes. Yet
these pioneers, unlettercd and accus-
toned TO rude surroundings, made
America possible. They won the
continent for us, and men who sneer
at them when talking about their OF
spring merely display deep ignor-
ance OF the best OF humanity.
1t 1rritates us to hear Lincoln de
scribed as 'uneducated" He had a
magnificent education. II he had not
been educated. he could not have writ
ten or spoken as he did. What is
meant by those who call him unedu-
Gated is probably that he got his edu-
cation In a way unfamiliar to them.
He educated himself by reading. by
observing, by thinking. His masters
were the great masters OF literature,
nature. his fellowmen, himself, life.
He got more out of them than most
men ever got out of universities. He
got 1T by good, honest, uncompromis-
ing. unrelenting labor.
Lincoln became a very great man:
as great as the greatest. He earned
his fame. We do him scant credit by
regarding him as a strange sport OF
nature, being on another plane. In
stead. We should compliment him BY
looking at him as he was. and getting
from him the inspiration that a great
man can give to all other men.

SOCIAL DISEASES ouTLAwED

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
state board OF health has outlawed
the so-called social diseases in Iowa.
Men and women so afflicted must be
reported by doctors and nurses and
By druggists from whom medicines
are procured. All medicines procured
for the trea. Inent Of such diseases
must be made matters of record, with
the names by whom and for whom
purchased. Once week such records
must be turned over to mayors or
township cteiks. Such persons may
be interned OF detained in proper
places set ssife for them. Those who
are arrested. in what are called dis
orderly hou3eI may not be released
until they ksye been examined bv
physicians.
These rulings are all stringent aud
they will work something Of social
revolution n The state. But there Is
no reason uIids- the sun why persons
afflicted wi.il such diseases should e..

Amid the seaIEe solitude
And rushing, laundering, down flung
The Tftans of the wood;
Loud shrieEsd the eagle he dashed
From out his messy nest. which crashed
With its supporting bough,
And the first sunlight leaping flashed
On the VOLTS haunt below.
Hude was the garb and strong the frame
OF him who piled his ceaseess toll:
The heart that warmed that frame disdained
The unsel gaud and glare, that reigued
Where men their crowds collect
The paths which wound mid gorgeous trees
The streams whose bright lips kissed their roweres
The wind that swelled their harrnones
Through those sunhidng bowers,
The temple vast-the green arcade,
Dark cave and swampy lair;
These scenes and sounds majestic made
His world, his pleasures, there.
His roof adorned pleasant spot,
Mid the black logs green glowed the grain,
And herbs and plants the woods knew not
Throye in the and rain

All made landscape strange,
Which was the living chronicle
OF deeds that wrought the change

The rose Of spread its glow.
The maize hung its Autumn fringe,
Rude winter brought his snow;
And still the settler labored there.
His shout and whistle woke the air
AS cheerfly he piled
His garden spade, drove his share

No one can do his or her best work

But milk cannot take the place Of
all other foods Not with most peo-
pie. For the 81 per cent OF water 1t
contains would founder many before
they got nearly enough to eat.
In other words, the elements that

THE FIRST OZARK HORSE"

Peoples Home Journal: The dark
horse" in politics is the successor of
q genuine dark horse that won race
in which he was supposed to have
no chance for victory. In early days
in Tennessee. there was an old man
named Sam Flynn, very good Judge
of horsefesh, who usually owned an
animal that could show a bit of
speed. At one time Mr.. Flynn pos
sessed big black horse named
Dusky Pete, thoroughbred and very
fast. 1t was F1ynn's practice to go
TO a neighborhood where he was not
known, ride Dusky Pete into town
as ii he was an ordinary mount and
enter him in one Of the races that
were the daily sport of the frontier
communities Dusky Pete always
won.
Mr.. Flynn arrived at one town just
before big race and entered his
horse as usual. There were several
local favorites in the contest and Mr..
Flynn had no trouble in betting all
his money on his own horse at long
odds. Just before the race, Judge
McMinameo, a turf follower, arrived
and was persuaded to act as Judge
OF the contest Some Of the horse
men described the various entries
and laughingly pointed out the fool
fsh stranger who had bet all his
money on his old nag. Judge Nc
Minamee at once recognized Dusky
Pete and his owner and remarked:
Gentlemen, there's a dark horse In
this race that will make some of you
sick before night"
Judge McMinamee's prediction was
fulfilled and dark horse" as a by
word has found permanent place in
the parlance Of American politics.
