'GENERAL OFFiCES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES-IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CIT) Patriotism. It takes war to realize the com. parative pettiness of all other con-i flicts. At the mere prospect of Great Britian being involved in the continental struggle, ‘the Irish con- troversy which had threatened the; integrity of the empire melted away. like mist. Truculent John Redmond announced in the House of Commons),: amid wild cheers, that the govern-'| ment might send away every soldier, and Ireland would be protected from’ invasion by the united Catholics of the south and the Protestants of Ul- ster—who but the other day were ready to shoot each other down. The militant suffragettes, confronting greater militancy, announced a truce.. Even the socialists of Germany, Aus- tria and France, who in princlpie are implacably opposed to wanfare,. have yielded to national need and suspend- ed their propaganda. In America, though our peril is indirect, and con- cerns industry and commerce rather than human life and nationality, the effect has been just as marked. There was an instant end of partisan bick- ering in Washington. The organi- zation of the Federal regerve iboard, was imperative, to place the nation's credit on a asfe basis. Very well— the bitter fight against the confirma- tion of Paul M. Warburg in the sen- ate was turned to friendly conference and prompt approval. Congress sub- merged all differences and all quest for party advantage in the passage of amendments to the emergency cur- rency bill providing for a volume of government—guaranteed currency as large as our national debt. In the face of commerce halted by shipless seas and clogged ports, interests that had quarreled for decades over plans to restore American shipping permit- ted the passage of a bill for that pur- pose without debate or roll call.

Those who know Mr. Lind do not for 4 moment believe: |he would have been guilty of act- ing contrary to the wishes of the president in any particular. "And if Mr, Lind did what was in with the pres- ident’s wishes, there s no- thing more which a patriotic citi- zen could ask. In times like these the people must trust their chief magistrate, and until we hear of comething entirely new we shall con- tinue in the belief that President Wilson has acted at all times as his conscience dictated. Nothing fur- ther can be asked.—Wadena Pioneer- Journal. A Wail From Mosquito Swamp. Oh, there’s war in Minnesota, As there is in Mexico, And you see the people fighting, Fighting, every where you go. E’en the peaceable homesteader, As he works to clear his “medder,” Faces foemen by the thousands All a’thirsting for his gore. And with nimble springs and passes, They rise screaming from the grasses, LRach with weapon keenly sharpened, It's enough to make him sore. And his wife, while broiling, stewing At the dinner for his chewing, Is attacked by the enemy Behind, beside, before.

In an early day the savage Would the-town and country rav- age, Burning everything behind them, of the western railroads, on the edge of a great strike that would have paralysed traffic and might have pre- cipitated a panic. With but a word from the president pointing out the gravity of the situation, they agreed to arbitrate. In this time of gen- eral uncertainty and vague alarm, We ore as unanimous as are the French or the Germans. Whether workmen, farmers, merchants, bank- ers or politicians, we are not partis- ans, but Americans, living up to the patriotic duty of safeguarding our prosfettity and the humanitarian duty of performing whatever service we may for the help of our less fortu- nate European brethren. Baseball for Criminals, Penologists have never given much thought to baseball as a reformative agency. But the Ohio penitentiary seems to have proved its efficiency in that direction. The.prison has a rattling good amateur team—so good that it has played a professional ‘team without humiliation. The peni- tentiary population has the baseball fever. And the men don’t get all their enjoyment by iproxy, either, after the manner of the common fan; they themselves play, in their out- door recreation hours. They play with as much gusto as any crowd. of back-lot youngsters. And' to look at them, nobody would know that they were convicts. They do not wear the barbarous stripe of the old regime, nor do they wear the traditional “prison pallor.” Exercise and work in the open have done away with the prsion slouch; too, and-the fock- step gait. It is wonderful what the outdoor life seems to do for ‘these men. Convicts who were -wasting away from .cell confinement grow strong and healthy in the fields. And they produce train-loads-of feod pro- ducts, reducing the cost of their keep. They are better behaved. They we- gain a wholesome outlook “on lite, or poeisibly develop one, if they never had it. Men in for life act as fore- men and superintendents. Few abuse their freedom—last year but 4 Der cent of these out on honor, without guards, ran away. Baseball seems to be the ultimate expression of this new, rational penal method, Which accomplishes more-in real re- form—and - therefore -in pormanent protection to society—than: has 'been'| done in all the centuries of brutal punishment.
