WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS.

.Everybody knows that when we get down to
business, we shall stop the bad business going
on over our back fence says Congressman
Champ Clark Does everybody feel this assur-
ance and in any such spirit as is here indicatedG
There are some things everybody does know
about our attempts to better things over our
southern border and here they are: Everybody
knows that some years ago our pacific secretary
or state of the time, Mr.. Bryan, warned Ameri-
cans to keep out of Mexico, if they wanted to be
secure from violence; everybody knows that Vii
la Jumped our back fence looted some of the
property and killed some of our people Every
body knows that General Pershing led an army
into Mexico 'to get Villa but came back with
out him. Everybody knows that the might of
this nation was embodied in a demand that HUI
erta salute our flag, but that the demand fell
short Of fulfllment Everybody knows that
Great Britain and France have made representa-
tions again and again seeking our Influence po-
tently exerted to stop Mexican outrages of their
rights. Everybody knows that our own proper
ty interests in Mexico are under constant threat
and have been jeopardized many times. Getting
down to business has militant look to it.
Probably it is true that this people has great
confidence in its power to see justice done in
Mexico once the manner and means are found
But what really know does not tend to
blithesome mood over the matter.

LINCOLN, MOST LOVED.

Norman Hapgood, in Leslie's: Why
Is Lincoln most loved Of Americans ?
Washington was greater man of
action. In special intellectual attri.
butes Franklin and others have
is loved in Father Abraham is the
whole personality must say the
Observation-Disclosures. If Christ were not
so out of fashion at this moment.
Lincoln's brains were strong. but the
best Of them was in their moral in
sight. His mind and his heart were
welded. He was one OF the few ten
der and tolerant spirits who ever
climbed the twisting ladder that leads
to political eminence. No rancor
marred his soul, no revenge no pride.
He met public fury and it passed
him by. Against our imperialistic
and tricky war on Mexico he refused
to follow patriotism" The younger
member Of the Illinois legislature, he
was one of only two in that whole
body that dared to go on record
against public prejudice on the most
sensitive issue of the day. When the
civil war was won he stood like a
rock against Furnishing the south.
His party in congress and in the
newspapers was breathing the usual
virtuous ferocity of conquerors. With
matchless nobility he took his stand
on reconstruction, and 1t will do any
American good to read his reasons
for holding out the hand Of fellow
ship to Louisiana. The red-blooded
ones were protesting against such
feebleness What q mollycoddle Lin
coin was with his malice toward none
and his charity for all! How serene
and noble he looms, now that the
angry dust of those days has cleared
away!

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Waterloo Times-Tribune: Almost
before we knew 1t women won their
way into the political organizations.
At the meeting Of the democratic
national committee in Chicago last
week, associate national committee
men were entered on the rolls to
admit women counsellors and work
ers. They are now part of the regu-
lar organization. The republican
party is decided to do the-Same thing.
And what a change this Is going
to work-change for the better, we
may be sure. PROFESSIONALLY the
presence of women is going to inaug-
urate new era in political manage
ment There will be moral force
back Of political organization that 1t
never knew before. The old time
politicians are to be lost In the
shuttle Their methods are Of the
past. There Is going to be new
appealing force in campaigns. Get
the money and spend it. is not going
to be all there is to the campaign.
Women are going to watch the poll
ticians. They will not dare do the
things they have been known to do,
in the presence Of women. With
women present the one hand will
know just what the other hand is
doing.
Instead of the old-fashioned rip
roaring time; the appeals to passion
and prejudice; the buying Of booze
and the hiring of thugs, aye, instead
of the buying of votes, we are to
have campaigns of education-real
ones. We are going to have orderly,
peaceful elections, with the CRATER
and ward boss out of it. 1t may be
long time before some of us get
used to the new order; many of us
may think the fun of politics" is
over with, but there Is going to be
real fun and real pleasure in poll
tics when the new order gets estab-
1ished.
And women are going to make
great workers. They are going to
take their politics seriously. Some.
may say they lack capacity. But all
the women need do is point to their
war work, just closed. Formerly all
women had to do with war was to
suffer silently. 1t never occurred to
men that women could help. Yet,
where would we in this country have
been without women's help? How
would our Red Cross have Jared;
how our canteen service; how our

WILL you BE MIssED7

Toledo Chronicle: Some Of these
days you, who are reading this
article. are going to die and pass to
your reward-whatever that reward
may be.
Will you leave void behind?
Will you be missed?
The Creator has ordained that man
must carve out his career in this
world, and when he journeys to the
great unknown he leaves behind a
record founded upon his own acts.
You may leave behind you a wife
or children, or other dependents. AS
you deal by them in life, SO will their
grief be gagged and tempered at
your death.
VIII they miss you?
In this town you have friends. and
business associates, and perhaps
many acquaintance. They know
you as you are, as you have been for
these many years. They have judged
you living, and they will Judge you
dead.
VIII they miss you?
In our homes are many little chill
dren who know you, who have passed
you on the streets, perchance. may
have been greeted with kindly
smile or with a frown. They will
ember you.
But will they miss you?
There is no place you may go, no
point Of the compass to which you
may turn, but what people have
known you or will know you, and by
all OF these you will be judged when
,,o,, bayo passpd awav
Yonr family, yonr associates, your
acquaintances, even your dumb
brutes will remember you after you
have passed on.
But will you be missed?

CONSTITUTION AND LEAGUE.

Almost every article of the league of nations
covenant contains obligations which, as admins
tered by foreigners, might work harm to the
United States. We could be forced into wars
anywhere on the globe. Our relations with any
other nation might be cut off. Foreign armies
might be allowed to cross the United States For
eigners would construe and apply the Monroe
doctrine and dictate the size of our army and
many other things that we have heretofore de-
cded for ourselves Is it reasonable to suggest
that eight foreigners and one American at &c
neva are better qualified to direct Americas for
eign relations and decide when and where we
shall go to war than the people OF this country
acting through their congress and president!
Probably Senator Knox had in mind all these
contingencies when he formulated the resolution
which he has introduced proposing that the SEN
ate give formal notice to the peace conference OF
Opposition to be expected should the peace treaty
be submitted for ratification in its present form
While declaring for immediate conclusion OF
a treaty dealing with direct issue of the war
only, the resolution contains far reaching pro-
posal which would lay it down as policy of the
American government that whenever the free
dom and peace of Europe is threatened the
United States will consider it obligatory to
again cooperate in the removal Of that menace.
the league of nations should be left without pre-
JUDGE to each nation, the resolution declares,
for future separate consideration 1t also as
serts the lack of authority by the treaty making
power of the government to make treaty
which in effect amends the constitution of the
United States.
And the league of nations covenant does seek
to amend the constitution. 1t is written in the
document, in black and white for anybody to
see. Is this what Americans want7 If not,
what folly it is to denounce and abuse Ameri-
can senators and pubicists who would modify
the league in some respects! Few Americans
object to league Hosts of citizens want the
best league plan that can be made: Many 9th
ers are willing to take without examination any
thing that is put forward as a league. This is
the only division of opinion on this question in
our republic All the contention over the mat
ter is between these two classes. Let readers
ask themselves in which class they belong.

COOPERATIVE SECRET SERVICE

During the war our secret service won wide
approval for its work; it ferreted ont the Ger
man agents and it made their efforts incapable
in the main of effecting results But the feder-
al agents had the close cooperation of a great
number Of non-federal agencies. The state gov
ernments the citizen organizations, the district
attorneys, even many private individuals all
played parts in the general policing of the coun-
try against the German propagandists and
active agents of treason There was cooper
lative secret service Of the most efficient sort.
This same cooperative secret service we need
now as much as we needed it in the war We
need it to meet the menace of anarchism and
ldisloyalty. The desperate madness that places
bombs is only one manifestation of the thing
that we have to expunge from our citizenship,
Other manifestations are heard on our street
corners, are seen in prints generally circulated

A QUESTION IN FINANCING

everything In connection with dairy
ing has gone mp and up in price. is
there anyone who can give convincing
proof of an increase that justifies the
prices the rich man and poor man
have to pay for milk, butter and eggs
But then, OF course, II one wished to
GO ON in this Vein he might be
tempted to ask about the price of beef
and pork here, where cattle and hogs
are raised extensively. and the end
would never come.
But we sometimes wonder how the
laboring man with family Of young
sters ever can finance the deal. Chill
dren have to have milk and butter.
and the pay checks of many men must
just about buy the necessary amounts
of those commodities and no more.
