COURAGE AND COMMON SENSE.

George Horace Lorimer, editor OF the Satur-
day Evening Post, is militant in demand Of
courage and common sense IN facing and
settling our home hindraces to peaceful pros
perity Mr. Lorimer evidently believes that we
have great lot of undesirable people dwelling
in this land and he wants them sent back
whence they came, when this is possible, and
more of the same sort prevented from coming
in upon us. Mr.. Lorimer believes the melting
pot Is over-full. But the war history we have
made speaks well for the work of the melting
pot. This is because the true metal was welded
together and in comparison the dross was a
regigible factor. If we weld together such
elements now, we ought to have no fear Of the
future and no need to resort to wholesale de-
portations, although we may we'll ezpei traitors
promptly.
Yet Mr.. Lorimer is unquestionaby right in
his selection of the qualities we need to show.
But the courage we need is that required to face
facts, to frankly admit conditions that ar dan
gerous, to take united council for their better
1nent in recognition that such council fore
shadows concessions by all of US. And the COM
mon sense we need is that used by any sensible
investigator; a disposition to see things just as
they are, to root out couses and make futile ex-
cuses and arguments cease from beciouding the
actual situation.

THE THIRD PARTY.

In the discussions arguments, attacks, de-
lenses, excuses, that make the current comment
on the railroads under government control, two
parties are continually in the fore-the govern
ment which has the railroads under pre-emp-
ton and the owners OF the railroad properties
There is third party in the business, which
makes railroads possible, profitable or unproiit-
able, by paying for their service public at
large which uses the railroads. 1t Is fact that
this third party is at present paying greatly
increased price for greatly inferior service. VI
course, the war is the immediate cause alleged
and unqustionably the war made the increased
charge necessary, and to an extent no manage
ment could have obviated this But the pubic
has paid excess charges and accepted inferior
service patiently enough and now views the
huge deficit in earnings and increase in oper-
ating expenses with patient wonder as to what
will come next.
The third party to the railroad muddle wants
one thing badly; it wants the responsible agents
for settling the muddle to do something, do 1t
promptly, do it with due regard to the welfare
of the railroad owners and the properties but
also to the welfare of the public of the nation.
By no possible argument can the present status
be defended as conducive to the welfare of any
of the principals In the matter.

Secretary of War Baker is having hard
time to find a defense for the charges that are
piling up regarding the horrible conditions at
the debarkation camp at Brest. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the food, at least, must be
good, because somebody told him that one day
not long ago five thousand men were served
with twenty thousand hot cakes. His position
seems to be that nobody has right to complain
il he gets four hot cakes every three or four
weeks

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

Worlds Work: The present situa-
ton in Mexico is the resultant of the
ideals of four men, mixed and COM
plicated by multiplex Interests" his
torical inheritances and racial prob
lens, all passed through the crucible
of conquest and exploitation and
misery, and with the inevitable
social-economic reactions-all set and
played on a stage where the problem
of church power has been for four
hundred years, and still is, the one
eternal issue.
The four men are Emiliano Zapata,
Venustiano Carranza, Salvador Alva-
RADIO, and Woodrow Wilson Their
idealisms are, In turn: the restora-
ton Of his compatriots and race
brothers OF Morelos Of their own
small farms, titled by their fathers
for $50 years; Mexico q world-power
at the head of a Latin-American re
yindication against the Anglo-Saxon
exploiting race, and new interna-
tional law of state isolation. with
whatever commercial and other alli-
ances that can be had to that end;

world. Yucatan first and then all

ROOSEVELT AS WRITER.

New York Times: Few men deserv-
Ing 80 well as Theodore Roosevelt
to be characterized as men of action
have written as much as he, and
still fewer of them have written as
well-With as much both of lucidity
and elegance, as much of ferYor and
OF obvious pleasure in the sedentary
art. His writings, too, were in am
azingly numerous fields for one con.
stantlyy engaged in doing the things
that provide material for others to
write about. And, just as it was
hard to tell what were his vocations
and what his avocations, so it was
not easy to decide whether it was as
"a historian, statesman, or a natur-
alist that Roosevelt. the writer
found his most congenial and crate
fuf domain.
Probably there will be no verdict
on that question, but several, each
reached through the personal taste
or preference of the judges. Yet
1T is at least the safest, or least
dangerous, prophecy to say that Of
all the colonel's many books, his in
Vulnerable magazine and newspaper
articles, those devoted to what used
to be called history-to his observa-
tons of, and adventures among, ami
mails, birds and fishes-most nearly
approached TO perfection in style
and content, will live longest, and
have in the future the most numer-
Gus and most appreciative readers.
Colonel Roosevelt would not have
claimed-indeed, he expressly dis
claimed-the making of any notable
additions to the stock of knowledge

others feel the interest felt by him

earth. None could tell a hunting
story better than he, and if he

such an extent that they do not adj

Our Railroad Example.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Montreal Star is using the United
States as a warning against govern
ment ownership of railroads The
Star faunts the facts that the rail
roads under such ownership are run
ming behind 100000 day-and
the Star might have added that such
deficits are created in spite of the
fact that rates have been put up to
40 per cent. 1t used to cost few
dollars to switch car in Cedar
Rapids from one side of the river to
the other, and now it costs $13 or
S14. and IL the reason is asked why
such outrageous charges the inquirers
are politely told to go where it is too
hot for human beings--that's gov
eminent of 1t, government man
has to explain nothing to anyone
and it is nobody's business what he
docs or II he does anything at all.

more and getting less, Of all kinds of
service, than we ever did In the his

VoICING Discomfort.
Bliss Carman.

Judged by the camor and the columns of
print used in publishing discomfort this nation
is much perturbed in spirit. Is it as much per
turbed as it seems? Evidence making ''no"
the answer can be had in our homes and high
ways any time the seeker after truth cares to
look for it. We have plenty of disconnected
people, far too many Of them; and worse than
this there is good reason for discomfort in many
cases But lot of the published discomfort is
really self-inficted Sort it is the experimental
kind of fit Of the "blues" which men have al
ways affected. We are by nature fairly hap
by people with a good modicum Of sense about
what really matters but we are also fairly i'm
mature in our ways Of discussion. A group
of boys at a game often spend more time suuab-
bling over the rules than in playing but they
would be astonished at the comment that they
were having unhappy time. Many an ora
tor mounts a rostrum, one Of the legitimate sort
or q soap box, to vehemently argue that things
are all wrong and afterwards goes home highly
content with life in general. There is vast diff.
ference between the discomfort of suffering and
the discomfort of self-explotation.
Probably no man of letters spent more time
III controversy than did Hazlt; he was con
stantly polemic and apparently in vehement
protest Of things as he found them Moreover,
he was always on the danger line as to wavs
and means Of comfortable subsistence Yet his
last words were "Well, I've had a happy
life" There is anomaly here. Hazlit had been
busy he had been Interested; his discontents
had been phases Of an immensely occupied
mind. This sort of discomfort is not unhappi-
ness. And there is lot of it in the world 10
remove the legitimate causes Of unhappiness
would not be half the job it seems as iudoed bv
the sXlailng OF discomfort as we hear it.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
HACK AND HEW.

Hack and hew the OF God
In earlier earth than now;
One at his right and al his left,
To obey he taught them how.
And Hack was blind and Hew dumb,
But both had the wild, wild heart;
And Gods calm viii was their burning will,
And the gist OF their toll was art.
They made the moon and the belted stars,
They set the to ride;
They loosed the girdle and veil of the sea,
The wind and the purple tide.
Both flower and beast beneath their hands
To beauty and speed outgrew-
The furious fuInbling hand of Hack,
And the glorying hand OF Hew.
Then fire and clay, they fashioned man,
And painted him rosy brown;
And God Himself blew hard in his eyes;
let them burn till they shoulder down."
And "therei" said Hack, and "there!" thought Hew
Wen rest for toll is done"
But may" the Master Workman said,
"For your toll is just begun"
"And ye who served of old God
Shall serve man,
TIL / compass the dream that is in my heart,
And perfect the yaster plan"
And still the craftsman his craft
In the vague white light of dawn,
With Gods calm Will for his burning VIII
While the mounting day comes
Yearning, windswift, fndolent, wild
Tolls with those shadowy two
The fa1tering restless hand of Hack,
And the tireless hand Of Hew.
