 The catching will be looked after formed so capably last year.
 The Cubs finished fifth last year. Tn no place has the team been weaken ed. In several spots it has been much strengthened. A year of success has certainly worked for the good of the club. Improved pitching can be con- fidently expected. That will be big help.
 All of which explains the optimism of Killefer and his ambitions to break into the first division.
 Big Surprise Ahead
 Bill Killefer and his Chicago Cubs proved to be the big surprise of the National League race last year.
 First, because Killefer in his first year as a manager proved most capable leader. Most of the experts were rather dubious about Bills man. agerial ability.
 Second, because the Cubs, a team that looked very ordinary on paper, offered stern opposition throughout the season to the other National League clubs
 Chicago finished good fifth last year with an average better than the 800 mark. During the greater part of the season the Cubs were in the first division and number of times were within striking distance of first place.

cautions, suggestions for relief and protection are multiplying. As a rule these suggestions are based on the enactment of laws. The Gadsden Journal says in this connection: "It is being pointed out that a number of automobiles are now owned and driven by men who are not financially re- sponsible, in the event of an accident, and who do not carry liability insur- ance. Some of these men, perhaps realizing that they cannot be held re- sponsible for results, are driving reck- lessly. Some accidents have occurred recently, and the number will increase unless some step is taken to curb the practice"
 There are many motor-car drivers who seem to care little or nothing for laws, and who take advantage of the absence of enforcement officers along the highways to speed and otherwise endanger human life. Some means of restraint and punishment is urgent. In addition to- demanding greater financial liability in case of accident, there would be virtue in forbiddirg reckless offenders to drive cars on the public highways.

talk of that eountry's suffering Is founded on sentiment and misinforma- tion. Contrasting this with the suf- fering and heroic efforts away from the eenters of gayety, the speaker em- phasized the duty of America to aid in the rehabilitation of the village and rural districts of France and ether parts of Europe in their struggles to get on their feet; Here Is paragraph from Senator Underweed's Chatta- noega address that is worthy of se- rious consideration by Americans: Tiff 1t is of no interest to America, 1t Is because America closes her eyes and will not lock squarely at what Is obvious. It $ not a question of whether your boy is going to be called back with the colors to Europe. It is a question of whether your counting house, store or factory continues to prosper, That is the issue that con fronts you. The key te the situation is in France"
 Few Americans who spent time and gave thought to the European situa- ton as 1t affects the interests of America are In so strong a position to analyze it as is Senator Under wood. Not only did he have unusual opportunities to study the subject at home, but he gave careful thought to what he heard and saw during a re- cent stay in Europe. His mind Is well trained to work out practical and logi- cal conclusions from his wide source of information, while no one who knows the man can question his sim cerity and unselfishness in his efforts for the establishment of a sane and sound foreign policy by the American government.
 The longer the Washington govern ment neglects to establish and main- tain definite policy towards Europe from an economic, as well as national honor standpoint, the greater the busi- ness cost to American interests. Every day of delay counts. That Americas economic advancement depends largely on her purpose and serious effort to put Europe on her feet as business customer becomes more and more ap- parent. Perhaps some practical action will be taken when the effects from failure become more acute.

A tendency to compare the tragedy with the destruction of San Francisco is shown by several papers. For ex- ample, the Chattanooga Times: "This present numbing tragedy may impress a profound lesson of preparedness on the people of Japan, as similar ca lamity did upon San Francisco-the necessity for forearming against an- other such violent dispensation of na- ture." Also the Washington Star. t'Those who witnessed the scenes iE San Francisco in 1906, when that city was first shaken by violent convul- sion of the crust and then, in consc- quence of broken water mains, was subjected to sweeping conflagration of terrific magnitude and extent, will have some measure of the ghastly ruin wrought by the Japanese cata- clysm."
 The Nashville Banner is inclined to rebuke those who make war and yet shudder at natures visitations: "A world which condones wars has no right to be shocked at tragedies sucn as Japan is now suffering from. Such a worlds sympathy is a travesty." It is probable, however, that the Banne, is itself not immune to feelings of sym pathy and that it heartily approves the nations measure to extend relief. Our nation at least is not subject to. the charge of hyprocisy, for we also ab- hor war.

But he Is not educated up to the standard of American democracy who doas not consent that a people have the right to determine for them selves the form of government un- der which they shall live; and no one is warranted in saying, be- cause he believes that his form is best for himself, that, therefore, another form is worse for others, 1 cannot understand how we are going to be In the world and yet not a part of it. It may be that I shall thoroughly understand 1t when those who have to do with our foreign relations complete their exhaustive / two months study of European conditions. and return to tell us what should be done. But I venture to prophecy that as they went, so they will re- turn. The declaration of Senator Johnson, not Magnus, that he went an American and returned au American was not as startling as newspapers made it appear to be. Most of us seek those facts which bolster up our preconceived views.
 We are told of the probability of another European war unless America joins the League of Ma tions or becomes a party to the international court. wonder just what is meant by that. If it Is meant that our voice for peace would keep the peace, the world already knows that is Americas voice. If 1t is meant that the over powerful military influence of America as exerted through either the league or the court would keep the peace of the world, then 1t is quite evident that Ar ticle x was, is and evermore will be the heart of the covenant.

[ personal standpoint. shall find ciples of lifetime if do not ac- cept any plan which appears sat isfactory regardless of It's au- thor.
 It would appear from the posi- tive opinions being voiced that leaders of thought in America have their own ideas as to how the peace of the world may be promoted. that each leader Is sure of his own method and suspicious of all other methods, that each Is prepared to defend his own idea and attack the ideas of all others That we have preserved our rep resentatiye democracy from the onslaughts of pure democracy is demonstrated by the refusal of those who now as representative of the people have the power to declare war and to make peace to yield that power even to the peo- pie. This may be regarded as T hopeful start, and if in other mat ters our representatives will ex- ercise their own judgment rather than be guided by the group or class that makes the largest noise, 1t may lead to something worth while.
 The war is over. Aside from It's suffering and its resultant taxa tion little Is now thought about the war by the people at large. Like the old man in Arkansas who didn't need roof on his house when 1t wasn't raining and couldn't put one on when 1t was, we are going along in the sun shine of peace. Why worry? It may rain again, but perhaps we shall not be here to get wet. This Is becoming the attitude of too many. Yet.
