His rule is marching on.
I have read loving gospel, writ in

But in lowiy acts of labor in this
worldwide enterprise;
Christ's love is marching on.
He has called upon His children for

That shall heal the wounded nations
and their suffering remove;
He is calling to His followers, that
His teaching they shall prove;
Our Saviour marches on.
For the saving of the peoples Christ
upon the cross has died,
And the wonders of His passion in
our hearts to-day abide
As His life and acts have taught us.

the declaration of the fuel admins
traitor that the shutdown was a
necessity. we must view it in the
light of the first real hardship the
war has brought us. The readiness
with which the people made the
sacrifice is indicative OF the popular
determination to go to whatever
lengths may be necessary to insure
victory over Germany. That is the
big lesson our allies, and our ene-
mics, too, should take from the in
cident.
But there is another side to the
matter. Every one of us was incon-
venienced to some extent by the
Garfield decree, and most of us lost
money. The point, however. is not
how hard were we hit. but how hard
Germany must have been hit by
more than three years of war priva-
tions of the kind such as we can
scarcely conceive. If we are inclined
to complain about a few enforced
holidays, what about the Germans?
If five days of idleness have cost us
many millions of dollars. how shall
we reckon the tremendous losses of
the war to Germany? The thought
is staggering, and in the light of its
possibilities We may well wonder
how much longer the Central Pow
ers can hold out against the ever
growing pressure OF the iron ring
without and economic difficulties
within.

FOR STERN MEASURES

tHenry Van Dyke in New Republic1
A few words to make clear my
position in regard to enemy aliens,
pro-Germans, professional pacifists,
Potsdam Socialists and all that
crowd. This is what 1 think we
ought to do.
We should check and restrain an
indiscriminate, hysterical campaign
Of prescription. boycottage and per-
secution against people who have
German names, a German accent, or
German blood in their veins. Many
of them arc among our best citi-
Zens. Many of them are here just
because they or their forefatherS
emigrated to escape from that sys-
tenn of irresponsible, militaristic au-
tccracy for which the imperial Ger
man government stood.
But, on the other hand, in this
time of war in which our country'S
conscience is engaged, we should be
firm and resolute against any one
who tries to impede or cripple our
countrys cause. Fines, imprison-
ment internment in a comfortable
camp in the South, are altogether
inadequate. In many cases they are
only rewards for treachery and en-
couragements to continue the war
fare. We ought to be more strict,
straight and promptly just in pun
ishing sedition and treason.
For example: a man who is found
on an American transport ship with
an explosive bomb concealed on his
person should be executed without
debate or delay.
A man who by speech or action
endeavors to impede Americas effi-
cheney in this righteous war should
be judged by the law, and If con-
victed, promptly executed.

The Lesson From the Coal Order
BY WILLIAM Ii. TAFT
In The Philadelphia Public Ledger)

a sense of disappointment that the
action taken was without sufficient
dellberation,
Public discomfort over the order
must not be attributed to the in
convenience and personal losses the
people are to suffer. They are will
ing to make any sacrifice to help
win the war. They would utter lit
tie protest against such action by
an expert acting on full investiga-
ton. They doubt the qualification
for a supremely important and TECH
nical duty of a man of no expert
ence merely because he is a man
of high character and ability and
a friend of the President. They feel
that the Presidents defense of the
order must derive any strength 1t
has from Mr.. Garfield's advice and
knowledge.
A competent expert could have
been found. We would not lose the
willing and patriotic service of eX-
perts who can do things because of
a suspicion that they may be biased
by years of experience needed to
achieve desired results. If the les
son of the Garfield appointment is
taken to heart, and subsequent Sc
lections for such positions are con-
trolled by fitness only. 1t will save
us from popular discomfort in these
trying times and the Administra-
ton from avoidable criticism.
The country will survive this or
der and the loss entailed. and we
shall muddle through the difficulty
into an ultimate lifting of the rail-
road and coal embargo. If the Ad-
ministration then shall claim a vim
dication of this order and shall per-
sist in unbusinesslike choice of i'm
portant agents, like troubles will re-
cur and public condemnation will be
even more severe.

n NE feature of the coal situa-
I ton is impressive. That is
the widespread lack of pub
lie confidence in the wisdom of the
order This is certainly in part due
10 the known inexperience of Mr..
GARFIELD in the business of coal and
transportation. The confusion of
pflorities heretofore directed by him
and his failure to take hold of the
approaching crisis with q firm hand
nave been apparent. His advice
that househoiders should not buy
coal last summer because It would
be more abundant and cheaper la
ter, In the light of what has fol-
lowed, Is burned into their memory.
All these things have strengthened
the popular distrust in Mr.. Gar
fields fitness for his task. Making
every allowance for the hard win
ter that we have had. it is difficult
to convince the country that a COM
petent and foresighted administra-
tor. with expert knowledge, might
not, by moderate anticipatory meas
ures, have prevented the necessity
for the order.
The suddenness of the action in
dicates n desire to avoid objections
by those affected. Only a complete
familiarity with actual conditions
and an assured certainty as to need
of desperate remedy could Justify
an absence of notice. Mr. Garfield s
evidence before the Senate commit
tee does not clearly indicate either.
He says he sent Mr.. Noyes, whose
qualifications are not set forth, on
an indefinite journey to New York
and elsewhere to talk with mer-
chants and businessmen about the
situation. Senator Reeds search
ing analysis of Mr.. Garfield's rea-
sons for the order leaves one with
