Natures Miracle Working Again.

These early March days are invigorating, be-
cause they hold the promise of an end to witt
tcr's long reign. The sunshine, the clear air,
even the clouds and the winds, the rain and the
snow 7urries, alktell ussspring is on the way.
Its approach is not easy, stcalthy, for in this
region the transition from the death of winter
to the resurrection and the new life Of the ver-
nal season usually comes with clash Of the
elements. 4 But the unsettled weather is a
symptom OF the birth pangs and as the sun sets
farther to the south each day, hangs higher in
the horizon and goes dow6 later, so we know
that natures miracle is working, and only a
little way off come marching the green things
that make the world of springtine an ever ir-
creasing wonder These are stealing up from
the south now, and each day the oncomng
army of grass and leaves and flowers, of birds
and buds and Beauty, steals a little more ter
ritory from the ice king, and in a short while
he will be driven. back to make way for life
and growth and blossom and fruit and harves:
time. Natures ways are those of order, and
from them man has learned his most useful les
sons None Of them are more impressive than
the merging of winter into spring, because here

What Is Needed at Washington.

In his swan-song letter to the president,
Franklin X. Lane outlines keen diagnosis Of
our governments ailment. 1t is not matter
OF honesty or desire to serve, for the retiring
cabinet member is OF the opinion that both
these qualities are present in high degree at the
nation's capital. 1T is lack of organization, of
initiative. the elements Of ordinary business
management Men are unwilling to accept
responsibility, and the self-protective impulse
has been developed while the creative has
atrophied This is not new discovery. The
condition has been adverted to by a number Of
high officials in other times, notably ~ Pres-
dents Mckinley Roosevelt and Taft, Il OF
whom sought remedy. Mr.. Taft once pre-
sented to congress the result Of careful sur
yey, the disclosures Of which would have
alarmed any body less complacent than the
democratic brethren who took much pleasure
in thwarting all the president sought to ac-
complish during the closing months of his term.
Mr.. Lanes letter to President Wilson merely
serves to revive the efforts made in the past to
put the business OF the government on some
thing like a sound and efficient basis. 1t will
scarcely produce immediate results, but the
future may see the needed reform in effect.

Defeating Universal Militarg
TrUlnln0

The refusal by the house military affairs
comnittee~to include the provision for universal
and compulsory military training IN the army
bill can have only one meaning. That meaning
be no legislation at this season to put into effect
the will of the people for the creation of an
army OF defense to include all the able-boded
manhood of America on the most democratic,
economical and effective basis conceivable-the
readiness Of every, American. of age to respond
need.
No one will be deceived by the committees
transparent expedient in voting to make train
ing the subject for separate legislation, to be
framed by committee of seven after an in
vestigation into the financial and economic as
poets Of the plan.
This counter proposal, even assuming it TO
be sincere, can have only the effect of postpdh,-
ing an imperative issue to the next session at
the earest-.-unless, indeed, the xopponenta OF
universal training do not, by. the next session,
devise new means of obstruction.
1t is now the patriotie duty Of the friends OF
the great reform in our defensive system to
rally their forces and fight the issue out on the
floor OF the house. In no period of peace shas
the necessity for defensive preparedness been
SO emphatic and so urgent as il is at this time
of universal international unrest The military
necessity for thestraining Of our entire manhood
for the defense4of the country is supplemented
by the great opportunity for training for the
purposes Of peace which is an important feature
Of the proposed legislation.
The time to prepare for the events Of 1917
was i'll 1914, and not in 1917. Had universal
training been made the basis Of our defensive
system in 1914. we would have saved vast
amounts in money and taken advantage Of
priceless opportunities by being able to put a
powerful army in the field without the delay
involved in the mobilization Of our man-power
from the mass of our unframed citizenship

Pershing and the American People.

The general commanding the army of the
United States has returned to Washington,
after tour Of $4,000 miles, taken to inspect the
army posts and plants OF the nation. He will
formally report on these, with recommendations

known only as an efficient. soldier before the
call to duty came to show him really great

on his trip of inspection, he really was being
inspected himself. What is the resulti The
answer may be found in the ovation he had
wherever he was long enough to meet the peo-
pie. His fellow citizens have found him Ia
herman, animated by high ideals, lofty pur-
poses and patriotic devotion such as BELTS
great American. Moreover, they have also
found him man Of warm sympathes, generous
impulses, and human in every attribute. They
know now-why he is beloved with the men who
served with him in Cuba, in the Philippines, in
Mexico and in France. They can understand
how the lieutenant Of 1898 became the general
OF 1919 And they also realize the safety of
the country and its institutions, should he be
called on to take the Office Of president. Cen
eral Pershing set out on round Of duty which
he punctously fulfilled, but he returned to
Washington with the confidence OF millions Of
people, who like him even better for having
had chance to see and hear him.

No Friendship for Spectators.

A New York lady has remarked that her
husband never played the market and had no
friends in Wall Street" Many others who
have speculated in stocks are convinced they
have no friends in that center of financial ad-
venture. The gambling game played there IS
little concerned with philanthropy. It is a
shearing place from which those who enter
for golden fleece usually emerge shorn.
But the Wall Street stock market, in it's
legitimate functions, is as necessary to the coun-
try as banks are to community; while the
great financial institutions there are pillars Of
strength and seeurity to the entire business
structure Of the nation, conducted by men Of
the highest integrity and stainless honor. The
