THE OLD WORLD NOW SUFFERS
FROM THE REJECTION OF THE
PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY
AND THE SUBSTITUTION
OF AUTOCRACY

Washington, Dec. 1.-President Will
sons concrete recommendations to
congress in his annual message To-
day were:
Revision Of the tax laws with sim.
plification of the income and profits
taxes.
Independence for the Philippines.
A loan to Armenia.
Economy in government apprOpria-
tiOns and expenditures and creation
of a workable budget system"
Cold storage and other laws affect
ing the cost Of living. and the federal
licensing Of corporations as recon-
mended In previous messages.
Rehabilitation and training Of dis
abled soldiers and sailors.
The president did not endorse
bonus.
Nowhere did the president refer to
the league Of nations or the peace
treaty fight. except perhaps by infer
ence, In his opening when he quoted
Abraham Iincoln's Let us have faith
that right makes might, and In that
faith let us dare to do our duty, ~
We understand IT," - --'---
At its close the president wrote a
paragraph which might be regarded
rs valedictOry. saying:
~ have not so much laid be-
fore you a series Of recOmmenda-
tions rs sought to- utter con-
fession Of faith, OF the faith to
stand by until my last fighting
day. believe this Is to be the
faith Of the future and present
and of all the victories which
await national action in the days
to come, whether in America or
elsewhere.
Democracy, the president said. "is
being put upon It's final trial."
"The old world" said he, "is just
now suffering from wantOn rejection
Of the principle Of democracy and
substitution Of the principle Of au.
tOcracy assured in the name but
without the authority and sanction
Of the multitude. This Is the time
Of all others when democracy should
prove its purity and Its spiritual power
to prevail. II is surely the manifest
destiny Of the United States TO lead
in the attempt TO make this spirit
prevail"
Two ways "in which the United
States can assist to accomplish this
great object" were outlined by the
president. They were:
First, by offering the example with
In her own borders Of the will and
power Of democracy TO make and en-
force laws which are unquestionably
Just and which are equal in their ad-
minIstration.
Second, by standing for right and
justice as towards individual nations.
"The United States" said the presi-
dent, "cannot refuse the role Of cham
pion without putting the stigma Of
rejection upon the great and devoted
men who brought its government into
existence"
His message was transmitted by
messenger. the president adhering to
his decision not 90 address congress In
person.
The presidents message was not
read Immediately In the senate. which
waited until Il had disposed Of rou-
tine business.

cision sustaining the CONSTITUTIONAL

Debate on the pending bill TO reg

put over In the senate until tomor-
row and on objection Of Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts,, the Republi-
can leader on joint war finance cor

under the rules.
Meantime. negotiations looking TO
an agreement on packer legislation
went forward.
II was said that the finance COM

holidays with hearings in preparation
for tax and possibly tariff rate legis-
latlon that may be finally passed at
an extra session next spring.
While the house was marking time
several hours most of its members
were busy with committee meetings
and appropriation measures. Commit
tee meetings included one OF the mill.

war expenditures.
Means OF stimulating commerce and
industry appear to be uppermost In
the minds Of congressional leaders.
Although house leaders were con-
vinccd that few measures OF conse-
qucncc other than appropriation bill

ton that a program OF stabillsatlon for
commerce and industry should take
precedence In committee considera-
ton.
In the grist OF bills IN the first two
days there were score or moro OF
measures having to do directly with
business. All were aimed ut the same

from the living room. "Can you come

especially since the thing has been
settled.
"The fact Is ten thousand dollars
was taken by a trusted employee; but
he has confessed and resigned. and
there will be nothing done about IT,
although he is leaving town."
Media breathed easier. 1t was some
relief to know Cliff would not be sent
to prison.
II rely on you not to mention this
to Clifford" Mr.. Clemmons went on.
II just received phone call that made
matters clear, and the directors told
me their plan. which 1 approved"
Media was trembling. She gulped
stammer:
"Who is the guilty one?"
Swanson the receiving teller. He
had been playing stocks, and simply
borrowed the money to make good
on n deal. On account of his faith
full service he will not be imprisoned.
Gilbert, one of the directors, has Of
fered to make good for him, and Swan
son has promised to work hard in
some other city and pay him back"
Medals heart felt lighter as she hur
ried back to Clifford, who remained
standing near the piano, mOpping his
brow with a handkerchief.
"Meda." he said, firm resolution in
his tones, placing his hands on her
shoulders: I'm going to confess at
once. It's just this-I love you. Its
worried me for some time, because
was afraid the affection was not re-
turned. 1t took lot of nerve to tell
you, but-there it's out"
She laughed joyously.
"Be reassured, Cliff dear" she told
him softly, and her arms found their
way about his shoulders. II love

Wonderful "saIanee Rock"

One of the most interesting pecul-
iarities OF the natural attractions Of

almost every tourist Is that of "Bnl-
nnce Rock" on the turnpike" at
Camden. on the road to Linconville.
This huge boulder sits directly on end
some 30 feet In the mir This is one
Of the IL largest boulders of this kind
In the United States and is widely
known as balance rock"
This rock Is relic OF the glacial
period without doubt. and Is almost
alone on otherwise fiat and smooth
ground. II is the original "only peb-
BILE on the beach" and for centuries

"Yes. see them," said Young Fox.
"All your family are white-headed, all

ears, which was sticking up.

further:
"Oh! I'll find some one away from

trotted through the woods.
1t did not matter to him at all
whether the house was vacant for
good or not if only it was vacant
when he got there, for Young Fox did
not like to build home; it was too
much work.
He went into Mr. Bears house, but
he went right out as soon as he could,
for Mr.. Bear looked well able to dis
pute with him, and Young Fox did not
want trouble--he wanted to live In the
woods
"Now this looks nice to me-" he said
as he came to n place where there
seemed to be no one ut home, and
after looking around Young Fox de-
cided to stay. so he locked tn. door
and pulled down the shades and went
to bed.
Now this place happened to be the
home of another Mr.. Badger-a very
peaceful fellOw-seldOm away from

cloudy day he had gone for a stroll.
When Mr.. Badger returned and
found his door locked. he began to

see that the key was IN the lock.

of his visit in that magazine. He says
of the church of st. Sophia that he
saw nothing imposing in its massive
exterior, which gives the impression
simply of vast size, but its interior, in
spite of the decay of its minute de-
tails and the absence of all furniture,
in accordance with the simplicity of
MOslem worship. is one of the grand

pillars of porphyry and marble, some
of which once belonged in all proba-

faced. it is true, but yet as whole
retaining much of Its ancient splen-
dor, the vast galleries formerly Occu-
pied by women only, impressed him
deeply. He mentions the noble space
afforded for worshipers on the floor.
and says that 10000 people could be
accommodated within the walls. "It
would be grand church to preach in"
he adds. His Moslem guide pointed
out what he called a large portrait of
Constantine in mOsaics, but white

TOO much emphasis cannot be laid

be given daily brushings and must be
looked after by good dentist once

the best shaped mouth, will ruin n
