4ute need for this policy seems now
to he admitted by every fair minded
Student, and it awaits only a strong
man to carry it much farther. Roose-
welt may be said also to have dug the
Panama Canal, and to have given the
United States a stronger and better
standing in the world of international
affairs.
President Hayes who ended the
barbarities of Grants reconstruction
policy in the south, should perhaps
also be given a place among the pres
idents who really served the country.
None of these men, it is true. who'll
ly succeeded. None of them can be
said to have emerged triumphant.
One was killed, another defeated, an
other met with an implaeable opposi-
ton, which made the completion of his
work hmpossible. and a fourth\ was
turned aside by personal ambition.
Yet every one of them gave the ma
ton something of unmistakable value,
or saved it from some disaster. 1t
seems as tho the task of being pres
ident is too big even for the biggest
men we can produce. Yet it seems
clear, also, that the American govern
ment is unavoidable without a genuine
leader at it's head. For the average
man, a strong president, whatever his
faults, is better than a weak one,
whatever his negative virtues.

Dorothy Dix Talks
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writes.
The Mother love That Curses.-1

The Mother Love That Curses.
A rich woman has just been con-
victed of having assisted her two sons
in evaGing the draft during the war.
She pleads in extenuation of her crime
that she loved her children so well
that she could not bear the thought
of their having to undergo the hard
ships of soldiers life, and risk the
danger of being killed fighting to de-
fend their country.
A great many other mothers are
going to make this same excuse when
they stand before the Judgment Bar,
and are called upon to render an ac-
count of their stewardship of their
children, and why, out of the fine ma
terial that was put into their hands,
they turned out men and women who
were thieves, and gluttons, and para
sites and loafers.
The mothers will say that they
sinned thru love, that their tenderness
was so great that it made them weak,
that they could not bear to make their
children do anything they did not want
to do, or deny them anything that they
wanted to do, and so they fostered ev-
cry evil impulse in their offspring, and
let them plunge unchecked down the
road to ruin. t
This is a most familiar type of
mother to us all. IA doctor was telling
me about such cine the other day.
He said that she had a desperately
sick child whose life depended upon
it's conforming absolutely to the treat
ment he was giving it, but the child
refused to take the medicine because
| it was hitter. 1t fretted and cried con-
tinually because it had to be kept in
ta-certain position, and the mother let
| it move at will.
But 1 can't make Johnnie do any
thing he doesn't want to>do," said the
mother. I've always loved him so
couldn't bear to cross him"
Then said the doctor, you have
killed him, because I can do nothing
for him. His life depends upon his
obedience, and you have never taught
him to obey" And the child died.
A young girl of my acquaintance
married a splendid young man, a
I,young man full of talent and ambi-
| ton. and one who is going far IN the
world But the girl had never been
taught self-control, or to think of any
| one except herself, and her mad ex-
| travag anoe, her love of gaiety, her
craving for the admiration of other
men, soon wrecked the marriage, and
brought her into the divorce court.
'I know Mary is to blame" admit
| ted her mother, but she Is my only
child, and have loved her so, that
have let her do>exactly as she wanted
to all her life. and she's never even
thought Of denying herself anything
she wanted"

Newspaper readers probably have
not forgotten how a strike of long
shoremen in New York was broken
by the entrance of the public into the
fight. A similar plan is reported to
be in operation in Denmark. The
right of society to protect itself when
attacked by a strike imperiling the life
of community, as was invoked by the
United States courts last year by the
use of the injunction in the coal strike,
has been solved by Denmark in the
organization of the general public.
Thru the organization of the Social Aid
association, recruited from the ranks
Of every class of society, the public of
Copenhagen, in the spring of this year
succeeded in breaking the unauthor-
lied strike of longshoremen. stokers
and seamen in the port Of the Danish
capital in but a few weeks. Composed
of some 1000 members in Copenhagen
and consisting of some thirty affili-
ated organizations in other parts OF
the nation, the association was formed
by the public for the purpose of plac-
ing its members at the disposition OF
the government in any labor conflict
which threatened the interests of So
ciety as whole. It's use in strictly
private controversies between capita
and labor is specifically forbidden.

1t is reported that there are in New
York City thousands of actors out of
jobs. The cessation Of reckless spend
ing by the public seems to have af-
feeted the theatrical business as well
as many other lines. But this is not
the sole reason for the slump in the
show business. Another cause is too
many inferior plays. The theater go
ing public has been fooled so often
that it has grown wary and refuses to
pay present prices, with war tax add
ed. for attractions not of known merit.

The president of the council of the
League of Nations Is reported as say
ing that Article x is not essential to
the effectiveness of the league. His
views are at variance with those OF
President Wilson, who holds that this
article is the very heart of the cove
nant. Probably the difference lies IN
the fact that Our president wants to
prevent future wars, while the League
president is not so particular. Euro
pean nations always seem ready and
willing to fight if they think anything
can be gained by so doing. 1t is al
most certain that with Article x work
ing no nation would dare to go to war

cannot be rights. We elect but one

the result until the votes have been

to the millions of new voters. Rarely
