We most certainly do or |? we'd go back. We didn’t steal any horses there before we came south, and we have no patience with any one who will stay where they are not satisfied just to have something to growl about.” S o SR Any man who makes it a rule to read a few pages or a chapter in Dickens every night after he has fought with his meaner self and the temptations’'of the world, the flesh and the devil all day long cannot be wholly bad and is taking the right medicine to cure those distempers of nerves and soul that harry the best as well as the worst of us all through life. Straub, of the St. Petersburg Times, takes that treatment, which shows that he ig a truly sensible editor, with a good chance to get to heaven at last. Dickens may be old- fashioned, his style antiquated, his long pages of moralizing imperti= nent and platitudinous, his descrip- tions tiresome, his plots cheap and his denouments obvious, but he was an incomparable wizard for all that, sane, sweet and healthy as a big red apple, and his philosophy and humor can pour more soothing and uplift into the soul of the average man than all the moderns combined with their swift.moving action and un- dermining cynicism and infidelity.

In other words, forget our rights and interests en- tirely, as well as the mouths of workingmen and their families in this country to feed, and complete the ruin of our foreign markets by prohibiting the sale abroad of any- thing grown or made in America. The war over there hasn't hit us half hard enough—make the de.|| struction total by building a wall around the nation that would isolate us from Europe and so intensify the hard times that there would be twice as many men in this country out of work as now, to say nothing of the staggering blow it would deal to our farmers. Those people in Europe didn't ask our permission to fight, and they are not going to ask our permission to stop fighting. We have nothing to do with the cause or the cure of their war, and it would be quoxatic altruism without prece- dent in humen history, it we should deliberately cripple ourselves in the vain hope of starving them into a cessation of hostilities, in the way that has been pronosed.
