DALLAS COUNTY PLAN

loafer knows that loafing is harder
lob that the hardest work he ever
did
As every man is under Divine COM
mand to work, no man has night to
yield obedience to any organization
which says ne shall not work.
The man who permits the labor lead
er or anyone else to say he shall not
work is yielding his own God-glVen
independence and violating the Divine
command which tells fSm he must
work.
The labor leader, whether he be OF
high or low degree, in public office
or the paid agent seeking to earn
living by keeping others from work
is assuming the prerogatives of the
Almighty and undertaking to put at
naught the commands of the Eternal.
1t is false TO say that every man
has a right to stop working when
ever he so desires In one sense there
is a modicum of truth in 1t, but
broadly speaking every man is under
obligation to his fellow-men to dc
his part in the worlds advancement
and in producing the things which
civilization needs This is pre-emi-
nently true while the world suffers
for lack Of food and other products.
The farmer who loafs on his job
adds to the suffering Of the world by
,essening the food supply, and is there
fore a Stacker in the hour Of the
worlds suffering.
The day laborer or the mechanic
who seeks by inefficiency, or slack
work, TO lessen his output in robbing

The command to love God and to

Inward and Unseen

The real life of a man, the cen
ter of his power and the secret or
his service, is inward and un-
seen. His bitterest woe, his highest
Joy, his actual victory or defeat
are hidden away in his heart. There
is an inward kingdom stretching
away into strange distances, to dis
cover and conquer which is the
real achievement of life. Here,
within our own souls, are depths
unguessed, powers undreamed OF,
emanclpations unprecedented. revela-
tons unknown.
What we need more than all
else. in the hurry and stress ana
trial of life, is to be possessed by
the power and armoured by the
might of great truths. There is no
evil that we can not overcome, no
crisis we cannot face, no victory
we cannot win, if the mind and
heart are thus ruled by lust, sane,
lofty. spiritual ideas.

SELECTION OF LODGE.

Selection of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge OF Mas
sachusetts to be temporary chairman of the repuo-
lican national convention, when that body meets in
Chicago on June 8, is wise 1t will bring IN
slant appreciation the part of republicans all
over the country, 1t is worthy recognition OF the
fight Senator Lodge has been making, and is sun
making for genuine Americanism. He can be de-
pended upon to sound keynote which will be re-
sponded to by the rank and file of the party, both
in the convention at Chicago and in the campaign
which will end in the success of the republican
candidates for president and vice president next
November.
The League of Nations will undoubtedly be
touched upon by Senator Lodge in his speech, and
that a plank ndorsng the peace treaty and the
league conVenant with the reservations voted by the
Republican majority of congress, will be inserted in
the platform, is expected by the country.
Republican voters will stand by their representa-
tives in the fight, for it would seem there is no
alternative but to make the treaty one of the prom
inent issues of the campaign. 1t is clearly the in
tention Of the democrats to bring it forward.
President Wilson's compelling letter to Oregon
members of his party makes his stand upon the
quite clear He says it is imperative that the
party should at proclaim itself the uncompro-
missing champion of the nations honor and the ad-
vocate of everything that the United States can do
in the service of humanity"
Fortunately the honor of America dwells not in
the exclusive keeping of the democratic party Ev-
cry United States citizen should be solicitous for
the honor of his couhtr9-and that honor is safe
in the hands of the republican party. More than
that the nation itself will be made safe by the rat
ificaon of the peace treaty with the reasonable
and necessary reservations which the republican
party proposes. This program gives combination
of honor and safety. 1t is a program of genuine
Americanism. ~

HOPEFUL SIGNS IN MEXICO.

The swiftness with which the latest revolution
in Mexico was brought to what appears to be a
successful climax is hopeful sign for that country
Still more significant is the comparative quietness
that, judging by the reports, is reignng over the
land.
The natural conclusion is that Carranza COM
pletely lost his hold upon the people and all that
was required was for q respected man of force to
rise and take chief command 1t is encouraging to
the United States to hear that the victorious forces
are scrupuousiy trying avoid anything they think
would offend this country or delay its recognition
of the new government to be set up.
While these things, in view of the long turmoil
in our southern neghbor, may sound too good to
be true" some consideration may be given to the
fact that it is about time for the country to have
come to its senses-or as to a readiness for
tranquility is possible there.
Indications are lacking that the regime
will be speedily recognized by the United States.
Admission that Mexico is "a troublesome neigh
Dor" and a plea that the world "have little patti
eenee and wait trifle longer are contained in a
proclamation issued Sunday to the American peo-
pie by Salvador Alyarado provisional minister of
finance
We have heard fine words before from Mexico,
hut it is be hoped the minister his associates and
his countrymen sincere in intention to put their
country back int good standing with honest and
peaceful peoples.
But it is a good sign that friendship and help
are wanted and that the tone of defiance which
Carranza adopted after President Wilson assisted
him to power seems not to express the feeling of
the new directors of that countrys interests.
- That the counrymen of the minister join in
) realizing that it is up to them to put Mexico bach
into good standing among the neghbors, is to be
sincerely hoped.
Senior Avarado recognizes inevitable event
,elforetold by all history when he declared IF we
not capable of placing at the service of human
lily all of the resources that exist in Mex
leo, the world will come and take them, because it
is the inevitable law of progress"
Continuing Il confession for his country the
minister says:
I'VE know that the world is tired of our
disorders. We know full well our duties if
'A wish to be respected like civilized people,
know that have to protect the lives
~, and property of nationals and foreigners
