THE DESERT IN POLITICS.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Some twenty
thousands or so of young Americans
from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska ana
South Dakota have been wondering
for two years how any human being
with intelligence enough to get into
public office could succeed in send
ing them out ON the New Mexico
desert at Deming to swelter and
sweat and suffer unnecessarily as
they trained to fight this country 8
battles in the still more uncomfort'
able trenches Of France. No guess
had proved satisfactory and no real
information regarding the selection
OF the site for Camp Cody had been
forthcoming until the other day when
one Of the higher officers OF the
thirty-fourth division returned flom
| France.
! On an occasion last winter this
officer was one of those in charge
of a certain division during ma
neuver. Another officer came to him
with instructions. When the latter
/ learned that the officer in charge
had been with the Sandstone divi
sion that put in so many hopeless
months in New Mexico he remarked
well, don't think you'll have any
love for me. 1 was one Of the mer
that helped to select that site al

GERS reply, and the other Officer
said he knew of no such reason. In

however, the questions of re-employ-

WIFI. RENDER AN ACCOUNT.

Washington newspaper correspondents whose
observations have heretofore been discr1mlnat-
ing and acute agree that President Wilson has
returned home a chastened, changed and disil-
lusioned man. In proof of this they point to
the pleading character of his address to the
senate Thursday in contrast to the dominant
tone he adopted toward that body just previous
to his last sailing for France. Temperamental-
" inhospitabe to the ideas of others, impatient
of contradiction or opposition, and armored by
his prepossessions and preconceptlons against
suggestion and advice, his experiences during
the last eight months have been Illuminating il
disappointing For he encountered abroad con
'ditons he could not change, preJud1ces unalter-
able as his own forces he could not resist, facts
that he could not escape argue away. He is
home now to face a crisis in his career, and the
momentous next few weeks are not less critica
for this country.
Within a fortnight or very soon, as is init
mated the president will start on what he call
ga campaign Of education But this does no
precisely describe the task before him; for wha
lie will really undertake is an accounting of hi

THOSE, DISAGREEABLE PEOPLE

IS anyone disagreeable? 1t Is posi-
HE to be liberal in ones views OF the
tolerable. One can get used to any
thing-even to being in Jail. There
are other persons who cannot Dc
agreeable even when they try hard to
he so. Their intentions are good, out
their manifestations Of their inten-
tons are unfortunate.
The cause of disagreeableness Is
really a lack of care for the feelings
and the susceptibilities of others. 10
make oneself's agreeable to others Is
fine art. 1t is not hypocrisy--lt Is 9
certain sweetness of disposition and OF
attitude towards our fellows which
has nothing to do with morals ano
which vet is a most lovable trait. II
his Satanic majesty has the knack OF
making himself agreeable, let us ad
mire him for it--there is something
! of the angel left in him. as Lady

were parting.
/ When man with whom one ha:
only a short acquaintance asks one the
amount of his income and coolly ad
dresses one by his last name, he be

a person who takes little interest IL
our health or our success, tells Vi
that we are looking i'll and that if w
do not be careful we may not live Iona
surely we internally characterize sue
a person as exceedingly disagreeable.
! The conclusion is forced upon
thoughtful mind that egoism Is res
!. ponsible for much disagreeableness
Those who aim at pleasing other
must, at any rate, take pains to pleas
, them-and in order to take pains on
must first take thought.

CONCERNING VISIONS.

New York Herald:

The President.
A good many persons In this land
believe that the time has come to
talk of verities, not visions. They
confidently expect the president to
come out of the clouds and get down
TO earth, where the rest of us are
to dig and delve to meet
the taxes levied by benevolent gov
eminent.
The American people are called
upon to give their approval to
scheme of world government 'hat
looks like a surrender of something
which they have ever held precious
I-Americanism 1t may be that mem
bership in the league of natl ons
would not mean such surrender.
IIt is clearly up to the president to
show that it would not. One thing
! certain also is that the American
neople are not particularly Interested
at this time in anybody's dreams.
i The vision our forefath ars saw
was of" "a more perfect union" Of the
people: of a nation which might OK

was formed, clothed with power 10

the world but for the United States.
If the vision of our forefathers had
been the world vision some persons
now imagine they see there would
have been no American revolution.

perspective, if foreign interference
