WASHINGTON a.
LETTER &ks4

This proposal, made in a presi
Dental message to congress, seemed
nowhere to be considered purely
from the peace-seeking viewpoint
Some referred to it as good
thing" but the idealism that flamed
for awhile with Wilson has beer
replaced by a hard boiled frame OF
mind which permits no spontaneous
awakening of humanitarian inter-
est.
On the same afternoon of delivery
of the message, officials and mem
ters of the congress began to figure
cut the political effect of the presi-
dents move. All hands Immediately
began to speculate as to the presi-
dents motives in terms of practical
domestic politics. All sorts OF
theories were advanced.
Nowhere did anyone jump to his
feet and raise the flag of idealism.
II is only on the rarest occasions
here that one hears of idealism any
more.

Plucked From the Plains

The tree that never had to fight,
For sun and sky and air and light,
That stood out in the open plain,
And always got it's share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died scrubby thing.
The man who never had to toll,
Who never had to win his share,
OF sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.
Good timber does not grow in ease;
The stronger wind, the tougher trees;
The farther sky, the greater length;
The more the storm, the more the
strength;
BY sun and cold, by rain and SHOWS
Tn tree or man, good timber grows
Where thickest stands the forest
We find the patriarchs of both,
And they hold converse with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
OF many winds and much of strife
This is the common law of life.

WASHINGBON-He in Washing
ton, where men live to govern the
nation, the matter of avoiding war
and doing things to eliminate it is
given a comparatively infinitesimal
amount of attention.
President Coolidge declares against
construction of three new cruisers
and the senate goes right ahead
and votes appropriations for them.
Such a piece of legislation as
that, of course, concerns adequate
national defense rather than a gen.
eral apathetic attitude toward in
surance of world peace.
The apathy, however, becomes
more clearly demonstrated when
President Coolidge asks for an ex>
tension of arms limitation which
would extend the 55-3 ratio te
cruisers, destroyers and subma-
rines, which nearly everyone has
been building according to the de-
sires OF their hearts.
