The President's Message.

very ptaMibU iliitnc of the queHtlon.
To vmiihaslzf hlM poHlllnii he Humnird up
hj" rtitmit h dontaUfiliti the ing-ie thought
of national efficiency nd necurlty.
The plann of the secri lurloB of war und

Tlmca for the more udcuuatc nutlonal de-
fense lire recommended. Perha.pi these
pIsiiB will full to meet with the approvul
of the alarmista as belnK lnudeiuute; or
with the piirlflHiB M being unneceHsary;
but to the (treat manses of the Ameritar
people there will be only Approval for th
president who unwaveringly points out the
need at this time for the national ade-
quacy. Mut the president Is not content
to recommend Incitamil army and navy
strength bul delves further Into the ques-
tion of the nntlonnl defense and suggests
Immediate action in building up our mer-
chant marine that wc might not lie de-
pendent upon foreign vessels and Ivd equate
transportation facilities for he fears that
the railroads will not much longer he aide
to cope with the problem which Is becom-
ing a very serious one.
The preniilent also dwclln upon the closer
relationship existing between the Americas
ami cite 1'aii-Ainerlcanlnm as the solution
of the problem of economic readjustments
which must follow In the wake of the great
European struggle. II.. refers to our atti-
tude toward Mexico as evidence of the fart
that all the governments of America stand
a far as the United States la concerned
upon a footing of genuine equality and
unquestioned Independence. And ho Bays
that whether "We have benefited Mexico
by the course we have pursued remains to
be seen." Many of us ore doubtful of good
results but since the United States and
the Pun-American countries have seen fit
to recognlxe one of the Mexican factions
It Is onry meet (lnd proper that we should
be a lilt patient and give the newly recog-
nized government on opportunity to prove
that nit mistake was mude in extending
.hem recognition.
Terhaps the most significant thing In
the message Is the president'! reference to
what We are wont to call hyphenated
Americans. He suggests that the way be
found for dcnling with those American cltl-
xena whose disloyalty has been proved sines
the war broke out in Europe. Out worso
till are the Americans born and bred
whom the president says are preaching and
practicing disloyalty. Tt is most unfortu-
nate that such a situation has presented
itself to the United States. rratic meas-
ures should lie adopted Immediately to
suppress these hyphenated cltlxens who
upon flril ii Ins weighed have been found
wantln's.
The president In his message seems to
have overlooked nothing In the war of what
wc should do fpr what he please to term
the national adequacy and In nentlonlng
that the program which he has mapped
out would require expenditure which will
considerably exceed the estimated revenues
of the government he suggests waya and
means for raising additional revenue. And
he reminds congress that borrowing money
I short -sighted finance. He also ex-
presses the opinion that this generation
should pny the hills of thla generation.
The Income tax by somewhat lowering the
present limits of exemption and the figure
at which the surtax shall begin to he im-
posed is one way which he suggests). A
tax on gasoline automobiles and pig Iron
and n stamp tax on bank Chequea are
other suggestions. In substance the single
theme of the president's message la the

thorough preparation of the nation. to care
fur Its own security and there Is no doubt
whatever that the thought which he give
expression to will meet with accord In the
hearts and minds of the' American people.
Ills plea for the national defense is mas-
terful not only in the English with which
It Is cloaked but In the cnreful considera-
tion of every requisite for a national ade-
quacy. We can only hope that congrsas
will heed the recommendations made and
act Immediately.

It Sounds Fantastic But
Louisville (Courier-Journal.)
The Deutsche Kiiegschrlften publishes an
article by Or. Helttl I'othoff whether a
doctor of medicine or philosophy or divini-
ty does not appeal In which It Is stated
I huí there Is no doubt thut the Herman gen-
eral Muff Is determined to resort to extremo
un it.-un s if Germany should be brought to
the verge of starvation. The general luff
would do anything rather thun "nllow vic-
torious (lermau armies to he recalled from
France and Itimsla and Kelglum becuuse
of a lack of food."
Continues the amiable llerr Otiktor:
"The staff will adopt the severest meas-
ures rather than submit to u peace dic-
tated by starvation. Extreme reprisals uro
within our rench. If necessary we must
agpell all Inhabitants of the territories oc-
cupied by our armies and drive them Into
our enemies' lines.
"If necessary we must kill hundreds of
thousands of prisoners now consuming our
supplies. It would be frightful but inevi-
table If there Is no other way of holding
out." .1.
It sounds fantastic but when we consider
what QerinaQy has done without provoca-
tion why should any aei of brutish sav-
agery seem beyond her conception of what
Is permissible In the event of extreme provo-
cation? The war was not provoked. It
was "mude In Clermany." The outrage upon
Helgium was not provoked. It was an In-
spiration of the general staff upon the evo
of war planned for conquest. The murder
of 100 Americans tho drowning of nearly
60 Infants on the Lusltanla wns not pro-
voked. It was an act Intended to strike
terror to the hearts of all witnesses of the
German manner of dealing with enemies
neutrals noncomhatants women all not
sympathy with the kaiser's ambition. The
campaign of arson and murder projected
in America by the general staff and put
Into execution by diplomatists who accord-
ing to every precedent should long ago
have been dismissed from Washington and
who deserve actually to be hanged was not
provoked. ' It was part of the plan of the
campaign coolly decided upon fur In ad-
vance of its inauguration.
The murder of prisoners nf war would
be kalsv-rlstlc. kulturesquc. Oermimlc. It
would surprise nobody and least of ull the
prtaoners of war.
EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS
The Austin American casually remarks
that there are 6.500 000 widows In Europe

8ays the Houston Post: "The report of
Ho- chairman of the board of the federal
reserve bank of Dallas covering the district
which It serves Texas southern Oklahoma
northern Louisiana southern New Mexico
and southeastern Arlsona shows that pros-
perity reigns throughout the dlstrtst. This
is especially applicable to the agricultural
territory where the farmers are placing
gratifying deposits in the barfBtf"" This mar-
velous change in the condition of the farm-
ers hns been wrought by a largely reduced
cost if production of the 1(16 crop sup-
plemented by rigid thrift reduction of the
cotton acreage. Increase in the acreage of
diversified crops and the good prices that
have prevailed since the marketing season
Opened. Truly the farmer has found the
way to enduring prosperity now let him
pursue it."

As evidence of prosperity the New ork

Boys in the Trenches.
(Atlanta Constitution.)
An English var correspondent writing
frith the western front of tho hoy-soldiers
sent to tuke the places made vacant by the
slain says:
"It Is maddening to see them--rosy-cheeked
brigades of boys not yet out of
school the hope of the state the promise
of the future; boys from that England of
our love and devotion coming to the
trenches to make moré food for mw-.

OUR COUNTRY
BY OUR PRESIDENT
A Momentous Issue.

men wanted the
settlement of the west
held back as much as
possible.
Bo long aa land was
to be bad there al-
most for the mere
asking at no cost ex-
cept that of the Jour-
ney and of a few
farmer's tools and a
beast or two for the
plough the active
men of their own sec
tion whom they counted on as Skilled
workmen In building up their manufac-
tures must be constantly enticed away by
the score and hundred to seek an indepen-
dent life and livelihood in the west; high
wages very high wages must be paid to
keep them If Indeed they could be kept at
all; and the maintenance of manufactures
must cost more than even protective tariffs
could make good.
Here was an Issue between east and west.
The tariff Itself was an Issue between
north and south and drew after It when
read Into the question of the western lands
no less a matter than the extension of slav-
ery and the domination of sections In the
politics of the country.
Heavy tariffs which fostered manufac-
tures In the states where there were no
slaves Insured growth of wealth and popu-
lation in the east and north but left the
south to stand still and gain nothing.
If her people could not go Into the west
and build up slave states there to make
good the altering balance of power In the
Union they must look to Bee all things go
steadily against them.
All these critical matters crept inevitably.
aa It seemed Into the debate on the western
lands; and the country was aroused by It
almost as It hud been aroused 10 years be
fore hy the debates on the admission of
Missouri.
It turned upon a resolution to limit the
sales of the western lands which Mr. Foot
of Connecticut Introduced In the senate
late In December 1829. .
Ordinary men could not have raised it
to-such a climax of Interest; but the men
engaged were not ordinary men.
It was not Mr. Benton's hot protest that
the men of New England should be always
JcalouH of the growth and prosperity of the
west that caught the ear of the country; it
was the speeches of Mr. Hayne of South
Carolina and Mr: Webster of Massachu
setts.
The deltaic OB they bandied it swung
abroad over the whole ground of the many
closely related topics which lay upon the
borders of tho Immediate question Is con-
cerned. Mr. Hayne was of the extreme school of
South Carolina and-took occasion to ex-
pound at length the doctrine of nullification
which his colleagues In that school had so
lately perfected.
It was out of the question he said that
a state when wronged by an exercise of
federal power should leave the decision of
the matter of right entirely to the supreme
court of the United States part and organ
of the very government whose power was
challenged.
The constitution was a compact he main-
tained the Union a free partnership; states
must stand over upon the ground of the
Kentucky and Virginia resolutions and ef-
fect their own protection against deliberate
and palpuble excesses of power.
Mr. Webster as fearlessly took the ex-
t cine ground of the opposite view.
It was this' splendid audacity on either
side that quickened the pulses of all- who
listened this hardy intrepid pushing of the
Issue to its last unulysts and that issue
nothing less than the nation's destiny.

Tomorrow: "Two Powerful Advocates."
In the Balkans.
(Fort Worth Record.)
Fifty-three days ugo Servia had 34000
square miles of territory. In fifty-one days
the Germans Austro-Hungarlans and Bul-
garians wrested 30000 square miles of ter-
ritory from King Peter's little kingdom.
Monastlr has fallen und now the Servians
who survive me fugitives for the most part
in Montenegro. In the face of this why
shouldn't Rumania hesitate and- Greece re-
fuse to take up arms for the allies? Truth
is the diplomats of the allied governments
never redeem their pledges. There may be
a reason for this hut self-preservation is
the law of nature und these wild Balkan
mountaineers long ago lost faith in the
power of the allies to crush the kaiser the
emperor and the sultan. These three war
lords may be crushed In the end. but they
appear to be all powerful for the movement.
(Howard Rann In Memphis News-Bclmltar.)
Luck Is something which strikes a man
when he is not looking for anything higher
than a pair of sevens.' It Is the principal
aeset tn certain card games which do not
have to be purified ever and anon by bring-
ing in a fresh deck.
I.m k Is a priceless possession In the
hands of a man who Is about to go broke
with a low discouraged plunk but who Is
suddenly left $10000 by some relative whom
he would not recognise except hy standing
him up beside the daguerreotype. Dots of
people who are 'now wearing sport shirts
and gossamer hose would not be doing it
If luck had not dropped into their humble
homes and left a hank roll that would choke
an artesian well. No one should complain
of this however as the money is imme-
diately put into circulation with great fe-
rocity and soothes the fevered brow of the
custom tailor and the garage proprietor.
Next to the little pea and the ante-election
promises of a candidato for congress
luck is the most elusive object on earth. It
will flutter around a community for weeks
at a time and finally alight on somebody
who Is not In need of anything but a decent
burial. If an automobile Is to be given
away at the county fair the holder of the
lucky number will be some prosperous cltl-
xen who owns all of Mnln street except the
postoffice building and who has to buy In-
ner tubes for three touring cars and a
limousine. Every once in a while we read
of some man who had to take six acres of
swamp land in payment of an outlawed gro-
cery bill and then turned It over to the
railroad company for a life pension and a
free pass.
Hard luck is a form of chance with re-
verso English on It and Is sometimes gen-
uine. There Is a good deal of hard luck
however which Is accompanled'by a violent
aversion to work of any kind and has to be
propped up by free soup Charity 1b some-
times unable to distinguish between the
hard luck story and real distress but it hits
the mark often enough to Becure a good
batting average. The man who relies upon
luck as a substitute for hard work and plen-
ty of it has about as much show in the game
of life as a one-legged shortstop would in
a World's series.
Let the People Rule.
(From Leslie's.)
An alderman elected in New York one
day was arrested In Brooklyn the next on
a charge of trying to extort money to avert
a strike.
Thirteen lawyers were disbarred from
practlve seven suspended and six censured
by the Justices of the appellate court In

A 70-year-old Inmate of a Connecticut
poor house recently inherited $46000 and
has since been besieged with offers of mar-

The son of a New York manufacturer re-
cently settled a bill for over $50000 for
jewels to various women. He claimed that
he bought the Jewels while Intoxicated.
When a notorious agitator denounced the
United . States supreme court in New York
recently and attacked newspapers and the
army he was wildly cheered by the frenzied
crowd.
On the walls of a notorious dance hall lo
New Orleans abandoned by the repentant
proprietor the police found the inscription:
"It takes a mother 20 years to make a man
of her son. It takes another woman 20
minutes to make a fool of him."
- The people of Arizona passed a law for-
bidding the employment of more than 5 per
cent of aliens in any establishment in that
state. The supreme court of the United
States declared the law unconstitutional on
the ground that to deny the right to work
is the assumption to deny the right to live.
The United States government sent $1-
600000 to Europe a few days after the war
was declared to assist needy American citi-
zens to return home by loaning them sums
from $7 to $1300. More than 200 of these
refugees have failed to refund the money
advanced and the government is now pub-
lishing the list of delinquents.
And so the people but not the thinking
people rule.
A Suggestion.
(Corpus Christ! Caller.)
When you write to friends back east
speak of the weather. If It Is such weath-
er as we usually Have speak of It affec-

orange blossoms in the wording. If It Is
weather such as we do not usually have
remind friends that even at its worst It is
about 1000 per cent better than the sort
of weather that they are accustomed to at
home. It is the insistent argument deftly
put. that sows (he seeds of yearning.

The True Newspaper Man.
(Navasota Examiner-Review.)
It is Just as impossible to please every-
body In the publication of a newspaper as
It is any other line of public service. What
pleases' one man displeases another and
that In which one man finds merit another
finds demerit. Some people are not big
and broad enough to understand a news-
paper man is human and likely to make er-
rors Just like other people and are prone
to look upon everything he does that does
not please them as something malicious.
But' what's the use. The true newspaper
man consults with nothing but his con-
science and understanding of what he con-
ceives to be right and wrong in the conduct
of his business and lets It go at that.
A Neutral Comes to America.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
Heine Schultx now held at Ellis Island
for inquiry as to his eligibility to receive
refuge In the United States declares that he
is a deserter from the German army and
gives his reasons for deserting.
"We would rot make out what we were
fighting for" says he "and besides I didn't
want to die for my country." Two better
reasons could hardly be found.
Heinle ought to serve a good purpose in
this country as a model of perfect neutral-
ity. He has nothing against the enemy and
Is not In position to orate agitate or propa-
gandize on behalf of the country he has run
away from. Othen have sought America
to escape the rigors of compulsory mili-
tarism and dangers of an untimely grave;
and eventually forgotten why they ore here
even forgotten what they owed to the
country that gave them refuge. Heine will
not forget at lesst while the war Is on and
he is not likely to abuse the free institu-
