UUK PLACE.
Has any one ever thought that never before the world de
pended so much upon the United States as it does right now!
All the outside great nations are involved in almost a death
lock; half a dozen of the smaller nations are standing on the
verge of starvation; the strain is almost unbearable, and there is
nowhere that the world can turn its eyes for any comfort save
toward the (ireat Kepublic in its majesty and mercy and power.
It shines out on the map of the world as the one land of lib
erty, the one land of hope for the poor; the one land whose
watchword is Liberty and .Justice; the one land whose oppor
tunities are open to all alike; wie one spot that offers an asylum
and hope to those who are broken in fortune, and whose hearts
are bowed down in sorrow.
\\ bile all the atmosphere of Europe is being churned by
the reverberations ol the appalling war; could our hearing be
relined, we should hear in the humble and stricken homes, the
daily and nightly talk, and the burden of it all would be that
w hen at last the war’s thunders shall be hushed, there must be
sonic land where, in peace there will be a chance to pick up the
raveled threads ol a lost fortune, and where there may be a
chance to reweave them into fabrics to begin to hide the world’s
nakedness.
And, looking around, there is but one spot where the host
ran center and begin this work. That is in our country, and for
a- to oiler this asylum and to meet the requirements that will
follow, will tax our patriotism and patience; our fortitude and
tenacity of purpose; our sense of right and determination to be
.just, as the\ were never taxed before. It will need all the wis
dom that we can obtain to steady the nation then. The first es
sential will be to find work for the host, for they will all have
to live and tin re is no way to feed them, save that they be given
a chance to earn the food they eat. And for what they produce
a market must be found. This involves the necessity of posses
nig a great merchant marine; the building and navigating a
great fleet of n: reliant ships. That involves first great work
in the coal and iron mines; then the assembling of the materials
on the shipyards w here ships grow into form; then the ships to|
I all ill their purpose must go out against the storm and might
to find the foreign ports—quite half a million stalwart men are
needed for this; then shrewd men should be sent out with the
ships to buy the raw material that we need to transform with
American brain, and to find new, rich lands for poor men to
o\\ u and woi k, and hence all the signs point to the need of pro
tection for American labor and the need of a merchant marine
to carry away our products, to bring back what we need, to be
our perpetual letter of introduction to all the outside nations
of the earth until all the world bows to the majesty of our flag
and look’s to the American people for all they need.
•-:o:
.Judge Advocate General Crowder, of the United States'
arxnv lias decided that the United States actually is at war with !
M exieo. The question had to he decided one way or another in |
order to settle certain legal points. Within the meaning of the
fifty-eighth article of war, says the judge advocate, it is “a time
of war.” Now let another racuous bevy of apologists spring
upon the stump and tell us what war Mr. Wilson has kept us
out of.
-:o;
Rapidly the ranks of the veterans of the great Civil war are
being decimated by the Reaper. The sudden call of Command
er George R. Marshall in the hall of Custer post, shocking
though it was, represents a definite triumph. He was at his
jiost, as always he was in life, true, honorable, a Christian gen
1 Ionian who all loved.
-:o:-—
Colonel Roosevelt says that Americans and Chinese are
subject to equal disrespect in Mexico, but doesn’t that just
about meet the brotherhood of man theories which Wilson’s
soulful speeches present? And isn’t the United States fortu
nate in faring so well.
-:o:
We eagerly look forward to the end of Mexico’s troubles,
not onl\ for the sake of the conservation of American life, but
for the expansion of American business which the rebuilding
of the demolished country will bring.
-:o:
The bishop who said that football develops religion made
no discovery. Haven’t divinity students from time immemor
ial made the game one ot the important parts of their college
work t
--:o:——
Among the uncomfortable names bristling with jugged con
sonants that come to us from the eastern war front the name of
Dorna Watra is like a piece of silk in a basket of sandpaper.
-:o:
While in Georgia the high cost of living is driving dis
traught persons from the state asylum, it is threatening to
drive persons to distraction all over the country.
-:0:—
It is not such a far jump for some rich American youths to
become aviators for they are used to being high fliers.
-:o:
A 1 .os Angeles preacher favors dancing in cafes. There’s
never any telling where they’ll break loose.
a
-co:
Preparedness in France is now exemplified in getting
ready for the American tourist. It’s a lesson.
-:o:
We are told by experts that most people die from overeat
ing. Get the point?
-:o:
The Oregon supreme court is making it easy to pull the leg
of a bootlegger.

Field Marshal Von Smashemagain hasn’t forgotten how

Pen Mightier
Than the
Szvord.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be a success. Adver
tise.

Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educat.onal. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
