Three Americans.

Washington's birthday approaches,
and, as usual, will be observed with
becoming ceremonies. Lincoln's birth
day was celebrated this year with ban.
quets. and speeches and sermons.
while last month Jackson's memory
was acclaimed on the anniversary of
his victory at New Orleans. -.
These are flt times for recalling the
men who established as well as those
who preserved the UnieRe land athess
three men were leaders Of those who
performed those services.
1t happens, too. that all three were
soldiers as well as statesmen. Wash.
ington led the armies whose victories
led to the establishment of the Union.
Jackson was an inspiring figure in the
war Of 1912, when the Union was
challenged by a foreign foe, while Lin.
coins modest service as a captain of
militia in the Black Hawk war stood
him in hand when he was defending
the Union against a domestic foe.
These men loved the Union, and all
for which it stood in their day. and be-
lieved that it would still answer the
purposes of a free and progressive
people at a distant day.
Were they not right? Washington
closed his course hundred and twen-
ty-odd years ago: jackson closed his
seventy-seven years ago. and Lincoln
his fifty-seven years ago, and the gov
ernment, under greatly changed condi-
tions, is still functioning satisfactorily.
AS a nation we are a hundred and ten
millions strong, and the flag flies over
as fine an empire as the sun shines on.
What is to prevent our further prog.
ress If we decree it? And what people
on earth. have more to promise them
selves by holding together?

Exports for American Ships.

Senator Calder's suggestion that
American exporters patronize Amer
lean ships is entirely sound. and
should be adopted.
Establishing an American merchant
marine will be difficult at best. The
start Is at time of extreme depres-
sion in the sea-carrying line. as in all
other lines. At present there is only q
limited amount Of business. A great
many ships are idle-tied up to docks.
or swinging at anchor in sheltered
places.
But even when business revives We
shall find ourselves in bidding for a
share pitted against the most accom-
plished and successful sea-carriers In
the world. England and Japan know
all the ms and outs of the trade. and
have employed all in their wonderful
prosperity. Both countries have taken
praiseworthy pride in showing their
flags on commercial fleets in all salt
waters.
We must match them in this as in
.eher particulars. AS a nation we
.slust take pride in the lines Of our
.Iational endeavors. and when those
endeavors are worthy assist in the
successes achieved.
A merchant marine serves well in
war times as in peace times. When
armed hostilities begin, merchant
ships become appendages Of fighting
ships. and help in keeping the latter
fit for action. On every account. there
fore, we should have a merchant ma
rine equal to the best, and to all the
demands of the most exacting possible
situation.

0ld-Fashioned Winter.

This is not precisely old-fashioned
winter weather, but by the exercise
of little courtesy it is near enough
to the old-fashioned article to be men,
toned in the same breath. Old-fash-
ioned winter weather was very severe,
and it may seem, or 1t may be repre-
sented, to have been more severe than
it was. A cold winter gets colder and
a deep snow gets deeper in the telling.
Perhaps after the lapse of years the
present weather and the recent snow
may be referred to as real old-fash-
ioned winter.
A haxen-haired little child may grow
to be white-haired man with long
gray beard and bent back. He will
lean on a cane. Around him will be
his grandchildren. Naturally he will
tell them Of the good old times-our
times-that ws7A And something like
this may be said:

Trial Balloons.

We may all congratulate ourselves
on one fact, clearly established. The
country's attention is fixed on this
town. What is proposed and what is
performed on Capitol Hill are instant
ly noticed and commented on in all
sections. Responses come even from
communities remote from the big road.
There has never been better time
for sending up trial balloons; and both
parties are using those agencies freely.
In the preparation Of the tariff bill,
and now in the canvassing about rails
ing the wind for the bonus, trial bal
looms have been, and are, much in evil
dence.
Sounding public sentiment is an art,
and under our form Of government
also necessity. The people are the
source of power, and expected to take
a keen interest in what their repre-
sentatives in office are doing. They
have a right to be heard after election
day; and what they say then is en-.
titled to, and receives, high considera-
tion.
1t does not follow. however, that
men elected to office. executive or
legislative, are stripped Of individual
ity, or Of the initiative. Chosen for
official responsibility because Of dem
onstrated capacity for business. they
are expected, and at liberty. to take
counsel Of one another in matters Of
great import. They should exercise in
office the intelligence and judgment
which secured the place.
This trial balloon maneuver has
caue7d the more cautious Of our pub
lie servants to take their ears from
the ground and fix their eyes in the
air.

Exes and Congress.

Harry st. George Tucker, who re.
Gently missed the governorship Of Vir-
ginia. has just landed the democratic
nomination for Congress in the tenth
district Of the Old Dominion. and, Of
course, will be elected. He will fill the
unexpired term of the late Representa-,
tive Flood.
A quarter century or more ago Mr..
Tucker served several terms in the
House, and attained good rank there,
as his father before him had done. He
is a lawyer, and takes an interest in
lawmaking.
A taste Of Congress lasts a long
time. Exes like to come back. Mr..
Beveridge has just put his head out in
Indiana. The Senate again lures him.
Ex-Representative Fitzgerald Of Bos-
ton is balancing between a race for
the House, and a try against Mr..
Lodge for the Senate. Even Mr..
Bryan. proof as many thought against
further congressional service, makes
it plain that If the Floridians insist he
will do what he can for the Sn in the
Senate.
Capitol Hill is an attractive place,
and will continue so for some years.
Uncle Sans business has increased in
volume Of late until extra sessions Of
Congress have become almost the rule.
Many new questions are up for discus
sion and settlement. Students Of gov
ernment, who are also, or desire to be-
come. men Of action. find in Congress
these times much that intrigues them.
II they are members they want to re-
main. II they are seeking to become
members they are seeking with all
their might.
The country needs good men-the
best available-fn the national legisla.
ture, and fortunately there are many
such to choose from.

Feminine fashion foibles now and

fads that while shocking in some re.
spects are understandable. Then again
there are others that are far beyond

An arctic overshoe is not lovely

The old-time 'gofosh" was recloned

went out OF fashion for a long time.

now goes. about the last word in slop-
piness. Why do they do 1t. unless 1t is
to draw the eye?
OF course, this fad. will pass. The
winter itself will pass. and there will
be no excuse, though goodness knows
excuses are not essential. Take the
matter Of summer fhlrs. for instance.
BY next winter probably some other
foolish fashion will have been con-
ceived. But nothing, it would seem,
will ever be quite as silly. quite as an

indicates that American business men
have not lost interest in foreign trade
prospects during the period of tre-

Those who have not actually been

The committee was not guided en-
tirely by general statements by Of
ficials of the Department of Com
merce, but were admittedly i'm
pressed by the presentation Of actual
instances by DR.. Klein, who gave
many concrete examples.
Still further optimism regarding
foreign trade. and the stimulation OF

department. for q series Of CONFER

chambers of commerce and other
business leaders from certain Sec

ences are being arranged SO that
business men can go through the
department, see what 1t IL prepared
to do for them, and to suggest ways
in which the department and local.
ised industries can best cooperate.
The first district to thus confer
with the department was the New
Mngland commercial executives, the

bers OF commerce from all parts of
New England and other business in
