TNVEN though the Presidents rl'Ne.~ s IS
- slight. the sudden report from Wash
ington ought not to he without an effect
on American opinion The country will
be reminded of the immense burdens that
it has shifted to Mr.. Wilson's shoulders
And it will have an uncomfortable sense
of the assorted disasters that certainly
would ensue if the man who has cap
tained the American people thus far in
safety through a world in corvnlsion
should have to leave his trying post for
any length Of time.
The sympathy which the country will
feel for Mr., Wilson should not ne IN
mixed with a feeling of regret that he
has suffered the hardshirs experienced in
the past by every other President who
was not conventional minded and content
to move in an easy rut. When he most
needed understanding he has been mis-
understood. So it was with Washington
and Lincoln and Roosevelt.
Virtue in the presidency must he It's
own reward. A man without great as
pirations goes his way in peace If he
have great purposes he must 60 out and

MR.. AINEY ON TROLLEY FARES

fares. we learn, are a matter Of ordinary
business prudence and sagacity." One
might as well demand "hricks without

norations without granting them reve-
nues sufficient for their needs Thus
pOetcallv chants the chairman Of the
Public Service Commission in a some
what astonishing interval Of unrcstrained

Might not some one make a similar
plea on the side of the public? Would it
not be the part Of business sagacity and
prudence' to demand information rela-

progress toward decent and toIorahlc

ing through enlightened management. 1t

THE NEW JlNCOISM

WE DIDN'T threaten to make war upon
w France when a few American sailors
were attacked in a free-for-all fight at
Brest. But there are newspapers in this
country which seem more than eager to
send an army and fleet to Mexico be-
cause a few men from United States
battleship clashed with some wandering
bandits at Tampico
1t is odd to observe the eagerness in
many quarters to avoid. in the case of
Mexico, the processes of mediation, the
patient inquiries and the rule of justice
which we have been recommending to the
rest of mankind.
Mexico is hard to understand. Mexico
is nuisance in many ways. We have
contributed to the nasty situation by our
failure to have a definite policy at Wash
ington. But these are not reasons why
there should be a religious determina-
ton in some quarters at Washington and
New York and elsewhere to refrain from
getting at the Mexican's side of every
controversy.
We are asked to make immediate war
on Mexico to "avenge an insult to the
American flag" There are various ways
of insulting the American flag. One of
them is to permit the use of the flag as a
handy shield for scoundrels and hypo-
critics who happen to have their own rea-
sons for misleading the country and
stimulating hatred of a neighbor who
happens to be dull-witted and trouble
some.
We shall make war on Mexico only a.
last resort in desperate circumstances.
The new jingoism is a growing maIadv.
The "go-down and clean up Mexico"
crowd are an isolated group of sufferers
They do not know that they are trying to
egg the United States into twentv-year
war. Henry Ford thinks we should click
the world to make peace" There is a
Senate group that wants war with Japan.
Europe wants US to fight the Bolsheviks.
Yet we were led to believe that the
armistice was to bring rest to tor
mented world.

idea or a man who will have an influence
upon the course of the Republican party
for the next four years. The prospect
for it, however, is not brilliant, for the
conferees seem to be trying to decide
what Roosevelt would have done had he
been alive, instead of applying what
brains they have to the consideration on
their merits Of the current problems.
No dead man will win the next cam
paign 1t will be won or lost by men
very much alive who have the courage to
stand on their own feet and proclaim
their own policies. That Is what Roose-

The immediate task of the Clemenceau

Its opponents are dissatisfied with it's
course in many matters incidental to win
ming the war. They may be able to de-
feat it and bring about the creation of
new ministry to undertake the, solution
of the new problems. Or it may be that
the dissatisfaction is more deep-seated

brewing.

termined to reopen the whole question

THE TRAPEZE PERFORMER

L71ERCE little bombs of gleam snap from,
his spangles,
Sleek flames glow softly on his silken
tights,
The waiting crowd blurs to crude darks
and whites
Beneath the lamps that stare like savage
bangles;
Safe in a smooth and sweeping arc he
bangles
And sees the tanbark tower like old heights
Before careening eyes. And last he sights
The waiting hands, and sinuously untangles.
Over the sheer abyss. so deadly near,
He falls, like wine to its appointed cup;
Turns in a wheel of fireworks, and is
mine.
Battering hands acclaim our triumph clear.
And steadfast muscles draw my sonnet up
To the firm iron of the fourteenth line.
