MnkeK u0zyn What You HaUetOSeU
THAT'S HOW DOUGLAS DID IT

w. L.. Douglas has demonstrated
that the trick one follows is Of less i'm
portance than the diligence and en-
terprise with which it is followed.
Before his day no American a ever
become a millionaire making snoes.
Shoemakers were usually poor men,
doing business on a puny scale.
Douglas, at the g of 81, after
having been bruised and buffeted on
the stormy sea of experience. set out
to become 'the greatest shoemaker
in the world"
He did a revolutionary thing. In
1888 he began to advertise systemat-
ically, persistently. extensively. Ad-
vertising then however, was not al
ways taken seriously by the public.
The first results were d~iscourag1ng.
Douglas paid put more money than
the Increase in returns justified. But
w. l.. Douglas was not n OF that
large army who expect strong, healthy
plants to shoot UP the moment seed
is sown in the ground. He was not
building for today, but for tomorrow,
for the time when his portrait and
name on a pair of shoes would rec
ommend these shoes to men and Wo-
men throughout the world. He could
stand the soothing of those ignorant
Of his ambition and barren of his vi
sion. His confidence never weakened,
his perseverance never wavered. He
adhered to his well-considered course,
spending $250,000 and more annu-
ally on advertising the shoes whose
maker was not ashamed to stamp

BEDTIME.

It's bedtime, and we lock the door,
Put ont the lights-the day is Ger;
Ali that can come Of good or i'll,
The record of this day to fill,
Is written down: the worries cease,
And old and young may rest in peace.
We knew not when we started out
What dangers hedged US all about,
What little pleasures We should gain,
What should be ours to bear Of pain.
now the fires are burning low,
And this days history we know.
No harm has come, the laughter here
Has been unbroken by a tear,
We've met no hurt too great to bear,
We have not had to bow to care,
The children all are safe in bed,
There's nothing now for us to. dread.
When bedtime comes and va can say
That We have afeiy lived the day,
How sweet the calm that settles down
And shuts away the noisy town!
There y no danger now 10 fear
Until Tomorrow shall appear.
When the long bs(time comes, and
sJsepfieter1tal turn to lie
When 1folhaS nothing more IN store
And I silently close the door.
God gfant my weary aoGI may claim
Security from hurt ana sha1ne.

Commenting ON some parallels be-
tween the political conditions OF
Jackson's time and the present. the
Minneapolis Journal says:
Theodore Roosevelt had the Jack
son personality, the force and mag
netism combined that make powerful
appeal TO us all. We do not say that
a man Of Andrew Jackson's ignorance
and prejudice could be accepted today
as was the case ninety-two years ago;
but we, do say that the country was
fortunate in the fact, that to Roose-
velt's force and magnetism were unit
ed the highest education, the widest
acquaintance with the world, the
noblest traditions of Americanism,
that Roosevelt had as well as south
ern ardor and western freedom also
New England culture and European
intellectually.

is limited between unsympathetic
knowledge and narrow-minded dema-
gogy, between cold capacity and en-

rHE PEACE RESOLUTIONS.

1t is taken for granted that either
the house or the Knox resolutions, or
a composite set of peace resolutions
made NY from the two, will be accept
ed by both houses and will be vetoed
by the president. Both sets of reso-
buttons are Objectionable in that if
they should become effective, as per-
haps they might be by being passed
over he veto, they would place the
United States in an utterly false and
humiliating position, and for a long
time would impair thel reputation Of
the United States as a nation whose
acts are inspired by good faith and a
terest.
We remained out of the war much
longer than a great many Of our Cit
liens thought proper. For hat there
may have been good reasons, but,
whatever the eason the fact is that
we made profits while other nations
were making war, a condition which
does not make for the best of inter-
national feeling.
Ultimately we went to war, and we
acquitted ourselves creditably, not
withstanding a number of distressing
developments. But we did not enter
that war to play a lone hand. 1t was
not exclusively our war. Whatever the
character of the incidents which inn
mediately resulted in our participa-
tinn wA inina1 nfhnr -ok;1~o H. -
great world war for the maintenance
of certain human rights and the de-
Tense of certain principles. And we
cannot in honor abandon our associ-
ates In peace n more than we could
~honorably abandon them in war.
Notwithstanding what Mr.. Knox or
the law books may have to say on the
subject, the war did not end with the
signing Of the armistice, and it is not
ended yet. 1t will MOI be ended until
the results for which the liberal ma
tons Of the earth fought have beer
made secure, until the terms OF a Just
treaty Of peace have been effectively
carried out. It Ia the business of the
United States to remain associated
with the other nations which it aided
and which aided it, until that end
shall be accomplished.
The responsibility for the present
state OF affairs rests largely on the
shoulders Of the president, but We
cannot rid ourselves Of r%esponsibilft,
by adopting a set of resolutions.
