Protesting Too Much.

" if our Congress passes and our

exempting American ships from tolls

Britain will protest.
You can hardly call the intima-
ton unexpected, for Britain is sell
dom backward in efforts to buttress
British sea power.
But since this American canal was
built across an American isthmus by
American brains with American
money primarily for the benefit of
the American people, we can't quite
see the pertinency of British pro-
test.
Anyhow, the bill should pass.

End Thereof
Is Death
FTER his alcoholic party, in the

~ course of which a young
- woman lost her life, FATTY"
Arbuckle, while in prison, is re-
ported to have said: u am off the
booze forever" The sentiment was
commendable, if trifle late.
Without passing any judgment on
that tragic result, attention may be
called to one point upon which all
the witnesses seem to agree, and
that is, that everyone at the party
had been drinking.
The whole situation is not new,
but is probably the ten millionth
repetition of that pitiful tragedy
which has been played over again
and again in every generation since
the days of Noah.
Human nature at its best has none
too easy time in finding the path
Of contentment. We are beset by
all sorts of temptation. We are the
slaves of our own ignorance, of the
malice of others. 1t takes a pretty
good soldier to get through life in
any satisfactory, sort of way. And
it is a pity that anything should be
injected into human existence that
makes this struggle harder.
The use of alcohol has probably
caused more human wretchedness
than any other evil influence that
ever darkened the souls of men.
Unfortunately, alcohol is perhaps
the most skilful evil sent out by the
devil to swindle human beings.
It has succeeded in enlisting in its
cause the poets and the romancers.
The very brightest minds of the
human race have We'd to sing its
praises. 1t has got itself established
in the customs of the highest society.
It has succeeded in creating the i'm
preston that it is elegant and liberal
to poison oneself with this drug, and
that it is narrow, mean and hypo-
critical to abstain from it.
When America, by wave of
moral courage that is without par
allel in human history, succeeded in
creating a law banishing alcohol
from legal and reputable use, a
storm of protest arose. The worst
elements of society found able allies
in the very highest ranks and the,
foremost writer's of genius.
The old beast was not to die with
out making terrific struggles.
But the Arbuckle incident may
throw some light upon the deep and
immovehle purpose of the people of
the United States. Standing by the
corpse of this young woman, those
who have eyes to see and hearts to
understand can get some idea of that
horror and indignation which has
compelled the American people to do
what lies in its power to destroy the
cause of so much crime and wretch
edness.
There may be many pleasant pas
sages along the alcoholic way, but
the End thereof is Death.

PROBLEM.
1871, Sy star c0@psny-

NOW is time for all good
women to come to aid
of party. Four million men
are out of work. In old
days before war all women
used to be jobless. Now
eight million ladies are
working pearly toothed and
manicured nailed. to keep
wolf from garage door.
THAT'S reason four mil
lion Of whiskered sex
are jobless. Gals snitched
their jobs during war. Re-
fuse to give 'em up now.
Also reason why marriages
are falling off like bruised
fingernails.
MAN without Job wouldn't
think of asking gal to
be his wife and spend their
honeymoon in Municipal
Lodging House or bridal
suite in Bryant Park.
TN old days man would
L tumble into love with
sweety. They'd plan to
prowl up church aisle soon
as he grabbed good Job at
fourteen buttons per week,
. with holidays off during in
dustrial panics.
WHEN he got job they'd
" get married. They
were happy because In old
days You could live for prac-
tically nothing and get mar
ried for same reason.
NOV that our old-fashion-

looks like nimble opportun-
ity for women to repay

True Then,

DMIRAL SIMS and those who

"A England is the greatest and
best of all nations, the rampant OF
civilization and the country which
America should love and defend and
follow at any cost.
Ambassador Herrick told the
French, speaking in his capacity as
Americas representative, that he
believed the future of the world was
bound up with that Of France, and
that France was the symbol and the
ibastion of civilization.
1t is gratifying to know in the
midst of such sentiments that many
millions of Americans still believe
that the greatest and best country
in the whole world and the strong
rampant of the white mans civili-
zation, and all that is worth while
in it, is their own America.
To all alike-Anglophiles, Franco
philes and real Americans-we sug-
gest frequent reading of these
words, addressed to the people OF
the United States by the Father Of
His Country, and which are as pro-
foundly true today as when he
uttered them one hundred and
twenty-five years ago:
t; "Against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence, conjure you to
believe me, fellow-citizens, the jeal-
ousy of free people ought to be
constantly awake, since history and
experience prove that foreign in
fluence is one of the most baneful
foes of republican government. But
that jealousy, to be useful, must be
impartial, else it becomes the instru-
ment of the very influence to be
avoided, instead of defense against
, it. EXCESSIVE PARTIALITY

AND EXCESSIVE DISLIKE OF
ANOTHER CAUSE THOSE WHOM
THEY ACTUATE TO SEE
DANGER ONLY ON ONE SIDE
AND SERVE TO VEIL, AND
EVEN SECOND, THE ARTS OF
! INFLUENCE ON THE OTHER.
Real patriots, who may resist the
intrigues Of the favorite, are liable
to become suspected and odious,
while it's tools and dupes usurp the
applause and confidence of the
people, to surrender their interests.
"In offering to you, my country
men, these counsels of an old and
affectionate friend, / dare not hope
that they will make the strong and
lasting impression 1 could wish
Ss but if l may even fatter
myself that they may be productive
of some partial benefit, some occa-
sional good; that they may now and
then recur to moderate the fury of
party spirit, TO WARN AGAINST
THE MISCHIEFS OF FOREIGN
INTRIGUE, TO GUARD AGAINST
THE IMPOSTURES OF PRE-
TENDED PATRIOTISM, this hope
will be full recompense for the solici-
tude for your welfare by which they
have been dictated"

NEW ENGLAND GOVERNORS
 APPROVE SALVATION ARMY

UnarimouA endorsement of the Salva- ton Army's home service program has been received from the governors of the six New England states and all consider that the building of advisory boards to assist the Salvation Army in each com munity is distinct step forward in solv- ing many social evils that at present re- main unchecked.
 Considerable progress has already been made in forming these boards and NSithin few weeks it is expected that q strong representation will be established in every community in New England.
 In endorsing the program of inc Sal vation Army, Governor Charming H. Cox of Massachusetts said, q am glad to add my commenda ton to the proposed plan to form advisory boards in large centers throughout New England. It seems to me that boards Of this character, com posed of business and professional men, would be of great value to an organiza- ton such as the Salvation Army"
 Governor Everett J. Lake of Connec- ticut in adding his approval said, T cer- lainiy approve of the service of the Sal vat;on Army and of the organization set up at this time to assist them. The Sal yation Army here in America has always done fine service"
 The work in New Hampshire brought forth the following statement from Gov ernor Alfred Brown, "On behalf of the state of New Hampshire and for those you have aided, I desire to express my gratitude for and appreciation of the valuable services you have rendered. Your work through a local board in placing your trained officers and your institutional service at the disposal of every community will receive the coop eration of men and women of local lead ershp and enjoy the trust and confidence of all the people,"
 Governor James Hartness of Vermont who has always, been a strong supporter of the Salvation Army said ''The creation of the Salvation Army advisory boards made up of citizens from various parts of the state especially those citizens who through broad view can see the need of their respective communities ap3ears to | be most commendable undertaking All | careful students of human welfare recog- hize the amazing power of the Salvation Army to foster good citizenship. It is a simple remedy for misery and despair" The support 6f Governor Emery J. San Souci of Rhode Island has been prom ised in letter as follows: 'I am glad | to add my appreciation of the splendid service to humanity rendered by the Sal vation Army. The fine work which your 1 organization is performing for the allev- | iation Of human misery and distress has i my hearty and sympathetic support"
 Governor PercivaI V. Baxter of Maine in endorsing the program said 'If you
 are able to accomplish the good in the new field under the. home service system that you have already accomplished ir the old you will bring comfort and relief to those in need of a helping hand. Yor
 have become vital factor in the com. munity and have achieved this enviablt position by many years of faithful ser
 vice"
