EDITORIAL PAGE
POOR MEN IN PUBLIC LJFE
When the president of Yale said
that the public life of this coun
try needs a large body of young
men of independent means ha was
influenced, it i9 to be feared, by
the jnterests of Ilia owa hundreds
of voung men of independent means.
Theoretically, the young man of
independent means is the young
inh 11 who can best afford to devote
himself to the publio service. But,
in practical fact, that is just the
kind of young rnau which the pub
lic can least afford to have in
charge of its affairs.
The young man, fresh from toili
with the inspiration that comes of
empty hands, and with sympathies
undefiled, is the one who through
all history has held the pilot wheel
of 'he ship of progress with the
steadiest and stoutest heart.
Tv.e man of independent means,
be he young or old, is out of
sympathy with the real emotions
at.d the environment of the mass
es. He views the common lot
only :is one looks into a housa
through a window. He knows the
coumoa life only as one who dwells
in the hills knews the life of the
valleys.
Wh.'.t we need in public life, and
in private life, too, is not the
man "rich enough to resist temp
tation," but the man honest enough
to desjiise it, the man too true in
his sympathies to mistake public
good and too quick in his intelli
s< »ce to bo misled.
Mr. Roy o. MacEivree, secretary
to T'=e American consul general at
Eerl!n, who is cn leave of absence
iu tnis country, regretfully Informs
the rrtsg that the genoral feeling
Germans U that their coun
try has exhausted ell efforts to »e
faiu America's friendship and is
no» called upon to do anything
more. In his view, this country has
b^en convicted before the bar ( of
pul>i;c cpiuiou iu Germany of lack
of response to the many overture
of friendship which have been mad'«
- The n:os>' striking instance of the
desire ro cultivate American friend
ship and 'o avoid anything which
woa.'d cause friction waa the sink
ing oi t*ie ^.usitania, sending more
tban a tl'cosanu non-combatants to
dset.i,, including over a, hundred
American men. women and children.
Siac^ then there has been a series
of such friendly actions, like the
attacks on other passenger; vessels
carrying American passengers and
upon American vessels, the list be
ing '.oo long to reproduce.
It is a singular instance of the
racial differences, which prevent
any thorough understanding be
tween ourselves and the German
government and people, that the
Amer'can people should fall to ap
preciate at their full value these
evidences of Germany's warm friead*
ship and endeavor to avoid anything
which could cause friction between
the ♦wo countries. Perhaps, hav
ing g:ven up all attempts at gain
ing uiir friendship, Germany may
refrain from further manifestations
of he? own friendliness in the
peculiar methods of the past.—P. I.
Man has been called the sick
anial. An ordinary Bengal tig®r
or self-reapecting armadillo docs
not overeat, or smoke or drink to
excess, or stay up all night and
awaken next morning with a bad
taste In the mouth.
Civilized man Is especially like
ly to be sick, for the things that
Improve life also make us ill
through their afctise.
America has a tremendous sick
lis*. A report on national vi
tality shows 3,009,000 poeple ac
tually sick, at all times. Our sick
ness costs us $1,500,000,000 a year
—aboil* twice tho revenue of the
government. Thift estimate does
uot Include the incalculable lcs
of efficiency of people who are just
tired, fagged, below par.
As a sick nation we have done
fairly. We could double, treble,
quadruple our work if we wiped
out sicknesa. It Is no idle dream.
It can be done. In fact, it is being
done. One of the greatest re
forms now on ia this country is to
"ge» well."
We have obliterated yellow fevc-r
and scurvy and almost coded small
pox. In anotiior generation any
city that has a typhoid epidemic
will be held up to public scorn. To
day there are 500,000 people con
tinually sick from 'uberculosis, an
easily preventable disease; in an
other generation tuberculosis should
be rare. There are S,000,000
cases of malaria evory year; vig
orous war on mosqutioea will make
it unknown.
Now is the time to bum • the
grass on 'vacant lots and around the
garden and home. The burning of
debris at this time when things
are yet tinged with a certain
amount of dampness will cause it
from spreading and getting beyond
the control of the watcher.
Fire later in the year are dan
gerous to the community. A wind
could easily come up during the
progress of the burning and spread
tho fire, thus causing damage to
adjoining property. To play safe,
if you have any burning to do, now
is the time to do it find even at
this time persons cannot be cau
tioned too much.
What Love is.
Lore Is a journey Into a new coun
try, and, likp any other Journey, Its
length depends entirely on what the
country lias to show. There should be
woods with silent undergrowth, where
comfort lives; bright rivers of vitality,
clean cities, built on foundations of
fine tradition and splendid with the
towers of learning and religion; green
fields, where simple thought and senses
play like young cattle, and mountains
so high that a9 one climbs one breathes
quickening air not known to ordinary
men—so high that by day the earth
lies clear beneath like an open map.
and by night the stars are Just beyond
urms' IeugU> above. In such a coun
try a man can live forever.—Rebecca
West In New Republic.
A Museum Sensation.
There was a sensational Incident In
the British museum on Feb. 7. 18-15—
the disastrous attack by a visitor on
the priceless Barberlnl vase, belonging
to the Duke of Portland. As there was
no law then for the punishment of
such an act of vandalism, a fine of £5
(the value of the glass case) could only
be Imposed. But it led to the passing
of an act for the protection of works
of art from similar danger.—London
Standard.
Man'and the Mouse.
Did you ever see a mouse. In a re
volvfng cylindrical trap trying to climb
up wfiat It thought was an endless
wire ladder? Well, that Is a picture of
mao In the universe, nnd, like the
mouse.. It is his own active desire that
keeps the whirling cylinder forever In
motion.—New York Sun.
