HIGH PRINCIPLES TO PREVAIL

Full of sturdy confidence is the first public
discourse delivered by Woodrow Wilson since
his retirement from the presidency. Espe-
cially significant is the distinction he draws
between armistice and peace. Armistice,
says Mr.. Wilson, is negation, while peace IS
a positive thing. Armistice is merely re-
framing from war, while peace is construc-
tive agency which "must be brought about by
the systematic maintenance of common I'M
Outstanding and by cultivation-not by ami
able phrases and hopes, but by active cooper
alton for Justice. And justice is greater
thing than any kind of expedency.
In the view Of the former President, there
is every reason to expect this nation soon
definitely to accept its world responsibilities
At present small group in control of Con-
gress is standing in the way. They cannot
continue to stand in the way. For example,
there is Lodge who is the Senate republican
leader, and who yet retains his seat by so
narrow a margin that he himself fairly
gasped at the danger Of involuntary retire
ment. The chief reason why Lodge was re-
elected is because, unhappily for the demo-
Gratis, their nominee in Massachusetts, did
not represent the real democratic party. Mr.
CASTOR is of that invisible group in gov
eminent which cares not for the public wei
fare and which is against ranther than for
popular government. Had the democratic
nominee been man of independent courage
and vision, free from invisible control,
and disciple Of popular government, which
is the essence of democracy, he would have
been elected. 1t is true that Mr. Lodge stood
also for special favors in government, as his
espousal of the burdensome tariff measure
abundanty testifies. He had the advantage,
however, of being already in office and OPP
poscx ~ ay'man giving promise of lettering
the situation for the people.
Even so, 1t is painfully evident to the re-
publican party that Mr.. Lodge ran $4,000
votes behind his ticket and only some 5000
votes ahead Of his democratic opponent Had
it not been for the strength displayed by Gov
ernor Cox, Lodge would probably have lost
in spite of the weakness of his opponent.
1t is fitting that, on the very eve of
Lodges descent into political shadows,
Woodrow Wilson should be proclaiming the
immortality of those principles which Lodge
was instrumental in delaying for while.
Men may rise and fall, but the high obliga-
tions and responsibilities of government,
though denied by this or that selfish political
clique, will eventually come to be recog-
nized and accepted. 1t is the purpose of Mr..
Wilson's message to renew mems faith in
the onward march of civilized policies, which
may be hindered while, but which finally
will prevail.

Canada has no complaint on the immiera-
ton question for the very simple reason
that each immigrant is required to come up
to a personal test Of fitness. That prin-
ciple will eliminate about ninety-nine hum
dredths Of the problem. There cannot De
too much of the fit, nor too little of the I'M
fit. Even where men are badly needed for
development it cannot be with reason argued
that fit development will issue out Of unfit
material.

dollars is the misfortune of the producers.
Had they cost tens Of millions Of dollars tho
verdict would have been the same. The fact
that the vampire pictures have practically
disappeared and that the chief attractions
now are pictures based on clean stories Of
American life written by the best authors
is proof that the people wish and appreciate
the wholesome in the silent drama as they
do in the spoken.

An Agricultural Metropolis
From the Selma Times.
Selma has long held the undis-s

agricultural metropolis. The pub

agriculture sustain the precedence
to which she lays claim. More milk
is produced for market in her sur
rounding territory than in all the
rest Of the state. More marketable
hay is grown in this section than IN
all the other counties combined.
More pedigreed live stock is owned
in this section than in any other
equal area of Alabama. A greater
variety Of the products of the soil
are reaped from the soil here than
from any other section, even of
double the area.

the renting Of the Hotel De La Paix,
which they propose to offer rent
free to the delegates who will make
