America and the Future.

A Syracuse, n Y. banker and manu-
facturer, fearing that the country
faced ruin. destroyed himself.
The civil war developed nervous and
overanxious persons of this sort, who
at, or soon after, the close OF hos
tilities yielded to depression and com
mitted suicide. Some lived on one
side. some on the other, of Mason and
Dixon's line. They could see no future
for the country. They could not con
eeive of il as reunited, but described
the Two s"st:uns, north ana south, as
"pinned together with bayonets." They
persuaded themselves that the ar
rangement could not last, and so, in
despair, took themselves out of the
way.
And yet the two sections were re-
united, have steadily grown closer to-
gether, and now compose nation
civil war, and one of the strongest in
the world In fact, it was the civil
war that made us truly nation.
Why fear that the country will not
ride out the present s-orm2 Wind and
waves are high, and the going is rough.
But the old craft is sound and the
great majority of those on board are
stout of heart. They have no thought
of taking to the small boats and ahan
doning ship. or of permitting few
would be mutineers to take charge.
Taxes are heavy, and may get
heavier Our bonded debt is express
ed in figures we have never known be
fore. There are mutterings here and
yonder we have never heaSo before
But, for all that, tks ccumry's .e-
sources are enoresous, and the spirit
of the great mass of the people is un-
broken. So who in mental health
should despair7 What seems more
certain than that we shall carry the
load, tighten it as we proceed, become
steadily stronger as nation, and rise
to the great occasion now presenteds

A Deaf Executive Wanted.

The fifth witness for the board of
education before the Senate select
committee investigating the school sit
uation having taken no part in the
custer Of the superintendent, his tes-
timony does not shed any light what
ever on the question of the Qualifca-
tions of an ideal public school execu-
tive. Hence it is necessary to pass to
the sixth witness for the board, who
had an unbroken record Of two sue
cessive adverse votes against the in
eumbent. He stated his objections, it
appears, frankly to the superintendent
in the course Of an interview two or
three weeks prior to his election in
1917, in the course Of which the in
cumbent asked him directly what he,
the board member, had against him.
The witness in his testimony thus re-
peats his reply:
ain the first place the superintend
ont lacks initiative. In the second
place the superintendent has not the
force Of character necessary to reach
definite conclusion and to give that
decision clearly. In the third place it
seems to me the superintendent has
his ear to the ground too much to
find out where the majority of the
members Of theboard stand"
In three years nothing developed to
cause a change Of mind on the part
Of this member, so it is TO be pre-
sumed that the same reasons prevailed
In 1920 for his second vote Of custer.
Now. il there is anything in sequence,
the third and concluding reason given
by this witness ia the strongest The
matters of initiative and force Of char
aeter had become, 10 appears. part Of
formula that had been adopted for
general guidance.
It would seem from this members

Those With Grievances.

The Adullamites just now are very
vocal Let US chance it, and say noisy.
How many there are is question.
More probably than will exist two
months hence.
Time conquers the average kicker.
He is very strong at the start-too
strong to last. The fever dies down,
and he recasts his program.
Men with grievances growing out of
the Chicago convention, and those ex-
pecting grievances from the San
Francisco convention, want a new
party. They likewise want a leader.
Their minds are dwelling on 1912, and
what Theodore Roosevelt did that year.
He came within an ace of returning
to the White House at the head of
a new party.
True, but he was an exceptional man,
and operated in exceptional circum-
stances. The like of him is not avail
able for the kickers of today, and the
circumstances of today are vastly diff
ferent from those of eight years ago.
And there is another point. A Presi-
dent, in order to make an impression
and justify his election, must work IN
agreement with a Congress. He must
have support on Capitol Hill.
So we come to the question: What
would election have availed even as
resourceful a man as Mr.. Roosevelt
without Congress to back him? He
accomplished much while President.
but was supported through the whole
seven and half years by republi-
can Congress.
The Adullamites will disappear few
at time and then one by one, until
only chronic kickers remain-men
whose temperament makes kicking nee
essary to their comfort. They seem,
indeed, to be in politics for their
health, and to keep well and hearty by
keeping outside of organizations
which do something for the country.

Mr.. Bryan at San Francisco.

Mr.. Bryan will occupy peculiar no.
sition at San Francisco, and how he
will carry himself in it is the subject
Of the liveliest speculation.
The men who oppose the domina-
tion of the convention by the Presi-
dent, either in his own behalf or in
that of a lieutenant, are looking to
Mr.. Bryan for leadership. They are
expecting him as a member of the
committee on resolutions to prevent
the Endorsement of the peace treaty
as signed in Paris, and to Cooperate
for the nomination Of candidate who
in case of election will not be under
the Presidents thumb.
Now it so happens that the majority
of these men are vets, and urgent
supporters of the proposition that the
platform contain a wet plank-not a
plank "as wet as the Atlantic ocean,"
but damp enough to secure votes in
quarters favorable to the manufac.
turc and sale Of light wines and beer
Clearly, Mr.. Bryan cannot lead in
both quests. He differs squarely with
the President as to making the treaty
az signed the issue Of the campaign
and as he is opposed TO third term
IL is assumable that he is also op-
posed to permitting Mr.. Wilson to
name the candidate.
But he Is. even more strongly op.
posed to any tampering With tho pro.
lhibtion question, He wants both the

eighteenth amendment and the Vel
stead act to stand, and to be enforced
to the limit.
The whitest of lights will beat upon
Mr.. Bryan during the whole time Of
the convention. He will be the most
eminent man present, with views con
fessed and well understood, and may
possibly be the nominee. How will he
make his way in alliance on one Issue
with men whom he is fighting on an
other issues

Although my clientele was small

And for a moment have known
A joy which compensates for loss.
I felt glory all my own;
The thrill of being "dark hoss."
