Koosevelt continues to be the
champion maker 01 pnrases that stick
in the memory. Keierr.ug to Wilson s
feiie.gn policy he satu: 'instead oi
&ptaai..g Htn.ly ana Carrying a b.g
Se.en o.i. n .0.11 i„oS spaken bombas-'
licaily and earned a disnrag.”
When congres convenes in Deems
ber the democrats will still have three
months in which their control of sen
a.e and house is absolute. During
this period they can run things in
their own way, alter March they will
probably have to swap even to get
anything.
The real cause <?f Hughes’ defeat has
come to lig.it at last. The election
tour p'flee on the wrong date—had it
be.n held last July Wilson would have |
been snowed unuer some of the wist
ones say. This should be borne in j
init d four years hence and thp dale
fx'd to fit the need.
If everybody lost in the election
they also to have won. Democrats
won the presidency and republicans
won congress. The independent vot- j
ers won because they showed the I
machines 01 both parties, by gum, j
that the people won't be led by a
string any longer. The women wca
because they elected a woman repre
sentative and because they showed
republican managers that the woman
point of view must be considered
hereafter on all important issues.
They do not bear and raise to man
hood sons to be slaughtered on the
battlefield—the inference being of
course that the desire of the sons to
do what they will with their lives is
of no consequence. The drys won in
Nebraska and other states and the
wets won in California. The inter
ests won in the east and the people
In the west according to one Inter
pretatlon. Uuholders of national honor
won In the east and peace at any
price advocates won in the west.
Labor won by the re-election of Wil
son and capital won by the changt
of party control In congerss. A di
plomacy backed by phrases won be
cause the voters supported the chief
executive who has been the most skill
ful literary man ever domiciled In the
White House. A foreign policy to be
backed by readiness to act when th
emergency arises won by the retire
ment to private life of sundry deom
cratic senators and representatives,
Mexican revolutionists, British right
to search and delay American ships
and Oermanys* right to submarine
neutrals, all according to partisan
view points, won by the vote for
president and so did all those who
favor making all the money poaslhta
while the opportunity Is at hand re
gardless of whether the country be
oomea In the near future the vassal
of some strong power or not. In short
everyone of whatever shade of opinion
or slant of mind can find some cause
for rejoicing or some consolation from
the result of the election ao far aa
the fast* axe known here at' present.
THE KINGDOM WITHIN.
At a little electric line station in
one of the most beautiful spots on the
i'ucilic coast the passerby may read,
scrawled on the station’s wall in a
large, untrained hand, this legend:
"This is the bummest place I ever was
in. This is hell."
About this station are wellkept or
chards and market gardens, covwlnj
a gentle slope to a great river valley
with lofty ranges In the near dis
tance, topped by white-capped, heav
wn-kissing peaks, over which clouds
jnd sun play an eternal ontertalnment
Here, there are verdure and bird song
he year through, and the climate is
.is nearly ideal as can be found on
earth. And yet some mortal wrote it
„11 down as "hell.”
Not many years ago a certain mil
dle-aged rich man, who had retired
.ruin a prosperous business with
nothing much left of life's program
but to enjoy his accumulated wealth,
spent two months amid the moun
tain wonders of the Itoekies, hunting,
fishing and sight-seeing—a perfect
program of enjoyment—and on his r ’
.utn home, shot himself.
There Is un eternal law. Infinite!)
just and im.niteiy merciful, which
tovides that a man cannot get away
from himself. "'The kingdom is wilh
n you," said Christ, and whether it
,s the kingdom of heaven or of hell,
here it is and there it must ahidi
till expelled. The same law that nvui
nat electric station a hell to the hobo,
makes an Eden in a wilderness to hit:,
who has the Eden within him.’—ICx.
THE LEAVEN OF JUSTICE.
There can bo no separation between
he inter' sts of the seller and the In
terests of the buyer—they ure Identical
Through all the years mutualities are
the vitals of the business which en
dures.
The instances where this law is
found and practiced find exprs.sion
in sanitary, well-lit factories; in full
weight coal; in thirty-six-inch yard
sticks; in pure-shrunk, strong-built
clothing; in the money-back guarrant;
with the sale of daily necessities; in
airtight, g rmlesa food packages; In
seasoned timber for dwellings an fur
nuure; in stenchless hallways; Ir.
reasonable hours of toil and con:
rmnsurate wage for service; in prac
tical care for the health of employes,
and in a thousand other things which
make for human weal and the joy of
living. And where these better com
mercial conditions obtain. It Is due to
alh glance to principal rather than to
the calculating adoption of mere
policy—i.onesvy is not right because
It is gainful; it is gainful because it
is right Under this fadeless standard
of better living, better trading, and
better serving are being pledged the
skilled hands, alert brain and real
hearts of the real men and women of
this ,our day. The leaven of Justice
and honor is slow—aye, slow—but
to the fur edges of the commerelal
lump is felt the thrill of its enliven
ing fermentation, and the value of a
man in the market place Is rising —
ever rising.—Ex.
