SONG TO A SOLDIER

Spring is gone, and summers here
They're bringing up the hay,
Soon they will be harvesting,
And my loves still away.
I see the apples reddening,
And yellow burns the wheat,
Lovers sit in summers heart
And sing to summers beat.
But my loves still away!
He lies there, he cries there,
hear him night and day;
I cannot hear the birds sing,
For my loves still away.
I'll not go through the clover field,
Along the Foxglove wood,
Nor climb the ash on Chapel hill
We climbed in happier mood.
For my loves still away! ..
o summer lanes, o summer fields
That smell so sweet of hay,
When this is done and Truth is won
Though my loves still away
May happier lovers love here
Where so lonely tread,
And build thy shining city. Love,
Over our darling dead.
Though my loves still away!

A DEMOCRATIC JOB

-HE tornadoes which have re-
Gently swept over Iowa and
Kansas, destroying property and
taking their tolls of human life, cal
for action by Congress. AS wal
measure, in order to coordinate all
the forces of the nation and to the
end that the administration shall not
be hampered in any of its plans for
the conduct of the war, bill should
be enacted at once which will pro-
vide for a tornado administrator
who shall have suitable offices in the
city of Washington. with the Gus
tomary staff of assistants and clerks,
and whose duty it shall be to fix and
limit the operation of tornadoes and
other destructive storms.
We make this suggestion in all
seriousness. If the laws OF economic
action may be set aside and nullihed
by administrative action, as has so
often been attempted under the plea
of war necessity. 1t should be quite
as easy to regulate and control the
laws of nature.
Production in industry proceeds
along established lines of supply and
demand. a law as immutable as any
which the ancient Medes and Per-
slams ever enacted; yet we have seen
the attempt made to fix prices Of all
sorts of staples and necessities-with
consequent confusion in the lines
which have been affected.
Tornadoes arise because of varia-
tions in barometric pressure-so why
not regulate barometric pressure by
administrative fat? Legislation of
this kind would be all Of a piece with
sor,a that we have had recently.

FROM THE OUTSIDE IN

GENATOR UNDERWOOD, of Ala
bama, in whose name the pro-
posal to curtail debate in the
Senate was submitted to his col
leagues, denied that President Wilson
had anything to do with the proposed
rules. He added, however. that the
President, ''as an outsider" was
heartily in favor OF it.
1t so happens that the President
OF the United States cannot view
anything relating TO public business
from the standpoint of "an outsider. -
1t is doubtful, indeed, if there is any
matter in which the President can
act as AN outsider" Whatever he
does, even when he goes golfing or to
the theater, he acts as President, his
movements are followed and noted
and published broadcast. His views
on any subject are not those OF IAN
outsider"
They are those OF a man at the
very center OF things. of a man who
has gathered to himself the largest
powers ever exercised by an indivi-
dual. He cannot maintain a separate
personality if he wishes TO do So
Whatever he does is Presidential and
in the widest sense official. To pre-
tend otherwise is-camoufage.

war has seen," while The Times de-
clares it is "a desperate attempt to
keep up the waning spirits of such
elements of the population as still
remain faithful to the esta blished
institutions of the Austro- Hungarian
state"
The Daily Mail and others predict
that an Austrian failure to gain a
decision will have serious internal
effects. Germany's hand generally is
seen behind the move. The Daily
News believes that it is an offensive
imposed by Germany on an ally
which long ceased to have any part
in the struggle, and which is sink
ing to condition of internal dis
integration and despair" The Daily
Mail says:
1T can hardly escape the Austrian
peoples that they are being driven to
slaughter for the Profit of Germany"

that no enemy offensive up to this

There is strong ground for believ-

THE MAKERS OF WEALTH
CFrom Farm Life

Food is "the real wealth, and
money merely the counters of ex-
change" declares an epigram maker
in our national food department.
And the producers of food are the
creators of the nations wealth. 1t
took world war, with it's consequent
threat of famine, to make us realize
this important fact.
Politicians and others have been
in the habit of saying "the farmer
is the backbone of the nation" but
nobody really believed it. At least,
nobody acted as If he believed it
not even the farmer himself.
The farmers response to the war
needs of the nation has been prompt
and patriotic. He has not held back
because his profits were restricted,
and his growing sense of power
brings with it an admission of
greater responsibility.

REAL ANIERICANISM

TORMER Governor Edwin S.
Stuart recently made an ad-
dress in Philadelphia at a cele
baton of the birthday anniversary
of Stephen Girard which was so full
of good American sense and patriotic
inspiration that it would be a fine
thing II all the schools and organ
izations devoted to the Americaniza-
tion of our alien population could
have a copy.
With the founder of Girard Col
lege as a text, the former Governor
dwelt upon his life motive and the
great good which follows a consist
ent and persistent determination to
be of use not only to his own gen.
GRAFTON. but to all who came after.
Girard College. as the Ex-Governor
pointed out, is a noble monument
TO an unselfsh life. IF Girard Col
lege ceased TO exist now" said he.
"Girard would have done more in
the way of training fatherless bows
in the struggles of life and for good
citizenship and for the general well
fare of posterity with the wealth he
acquired than any other American
citizen, but this college will live and
continue its good work indefinitely"
Again the Telegraph feels impelled
to emphasize the importance of do
ing things while we have the op-
portunity, the inclination and the
ability. Girard kept his mind and
heart upon a definite objective
throughout his life and his achieve
ments stand out as justification of a.
definite purpose in the overcoming
OF obstacles which confront the
average person. We sometimes hear
men say that they are too busy to
interest themselves in the welfare
of their fellow men and when the
sands of life have almost passed
out they endeavor to achieve through
post-mortem provision what might
just as well have been accomplished
under their own eye and their own
personal direction. Referring to
this phase of the average human
conception Of duty. as illustrated
in the life of Girard. the former
Governor said: His life was a
busy one, but Notwithstanding his
muldfarious business affairs he found
time to attend faithfully and ef-
fectually to his duties as a citizen
and did more for his city. his state,
his country and humanity than any
other man OF his period"
Girard became a free citizen of
Pennsylvania ten years before Wash
ington was inaugurated as president
1t was an expression of his desire
TO be considered an American. He
wished to emphasize the fact that

with many Democrats and in the
event that the gubernatorial candi-
date persists in his attitude of open
hostility the other candidates and
many representative party men will
be asked to take a stand in support
