Poles are always so violent in de-
sire lor trui'.om that they are apt
to have difuculues because they use
emotions where reasoning is need-
ed.
The Vnited States will have new
presidents with new points of view
about internal ataifrs. But they,
loo. will have capital and labor, i
prosperity and poverty, farm and
town, to deal with, und difficult
situations then as now.
Americans will have the same
'old desire tor progress and better
life. In that. too. they are the same.
It is to bo hoped, however, that in
. seeking better things, they will be
willing to rely on their own efforts
instead of expecting the govern-
ment to hand things out on a silver
