A Call to Duty.

one could refuse in justice to the ma

America expects every man to do
his duty. She has need Of the sup
port Of all her sons at this time Of
supreme need. Those called to on
cial station must apply themselves
with all diligence and courage to their
tasks, while those in private station
must follow all that is done with in
telligence and patriotic interest. There
is no room in the country now for
men or women who are Indifferent
about results. and under the influence

Politics and Economics.

But Gen. Hancock was trained

about politics or political questions,
and had no skill in phrasemaklng at
a time when every utterance OF his
was brought under the strong glass
of a vigilant and merciless opposition.
He had been nominated for President

He is familiar with controversy, and

self with an understanding of words
and distinctions as they are employed
in political discussions.
And yet politics enters into the
tariff problem, just as in nearly every
other problem Congress is called upon
to solve. Custom, if nothing else, has
made this true. The republicans for
years have made protection one Of
their shibboleths, as the democrats
have made tariff for revenue only
one of theirs.
The south for years has been the
stronghold of the low tariffites. But
sentiment there is changing, just as
the south itself has changed. 1t was
once a vast cotton plantation. 1t still
grows cotton in enormous quantities.
But now it spins great deal Of its
own raw material, and in other re-
spects is taking rank as an industrial
section. There is good reason why
many southern men should be looking
these days favorably on the protection
policy.

snow enough to make the ground

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Simple Standard,

A Simple Standard.
There isn't any use at ALL"
Said Hezekiah Bings,
I'm giving up this life SO small
To unimportant things.
The praise or hlape that fades away
The flattery, the sneer,
Are not worth near as much, I'll say
AS just a conscience clear.
'Id rather, with a friendly hand,
The grasp Of friendship claim
Than lead the pageantry so grand
That marks a fleeing fame.
To haunt the ceremonial hall
Mongst servitors and kings

German-Americans in Politics.

The action of small number of
German americans who compiled a
list in Chicago from which Senator
| Harding was to select German
American for his cabinet has given
rise to severe criticism in the Ger
man language press of this country.
The German. american Citizens
League has been disavowed by the
editor-in chief of the Cincinnati Freie
Presse. who sent telegram to this
effect to Senator Harding. The prin-
cipal blunder committed in making
out such list consists in creating
the impression that an antaGonism
exists between. the. .German-Ameri-
cans and Harding, which is, of course.
not true, for Americans in
general did. not expect Harding to
take a German American into his
cabinet. If those who pretend to be
the leaders of the German Americans
make such political blunders and fur
nish arguments to the enemies of Ger
an-Americans. how can we hope
ever to attain the sensible political
cooperation of all the GermanAmer-
. leans?
The German voted for
Harding because they are of the
opinion that he will be fair in all
: questions, in international questions
as well in those concerning Ger
many. We still believe that of him, un-
til the contrary is proved. That is all
! we desire. The great mass OF the Ger
man americans have not the slight
est desire to exert pressure on the
new President such was planned
by the gentlemen who met in Chicago,
and the best result achieved by the
action of the German American Citi-
Zens League is that ii has dug its
own grave without having done any
considerable damage. All German
Americans should learn a lesson from
this affair--it is that if We enter
politics we have to do so with great
caution and not allow ourselves to be

way in harmony with the interests of
