When President Wilson stood be- fore the Daughters of the American Revolution who were celebrating the silver jubilee of their organization Monday and declared that the time had arrived for a “line-up,” that all men in politics must declare whether they were for America first, last and all the time, or whether their sym- pathies were with lands across the sea, he sounded a clarion note that has awaited for lo these many months. If he unburdened himself of a campaign speech, he dJelivered a masterpiece; if it intended solely as a patriotic address it could not have been improved upon. Nor could the time and place have been bettered. Talking before a body of women who are descendents from the very blood that was shed so this nation might live, the President found listeners he could not hope for in any other cirele. And the doctrine he preached was well received. There- fore, it has not been cast on barren soil. It will be carried still further and planted in the hearts of others who believe as these Daughters of the American Revolution. It will be carried on down the ages, to be read and re-read at future gatherings of those who call themselves Americans. For, this speech of President Wilson is a classic. It will It tells the very essentials of Americanism as it should be known. It is strong, substantial, true and wholly American. The nation has waited anxiously for this speech. And it waited not in vain. For, when Woodrow Wilson undertook to deliver himself of his sentiments of America and things American he measured up to his full height. He proved himself big. From now on he need utter no other word. The people know him now better than they ever did. They know he is first, last, and all the time a President who has the in- terests of the United States before his mind. Tracing the touch of Americanism back to the American Revolution, the Precident pointed out that from that period to this, men have come to this land with the one purpose in view,——to escape the op- pression of other lands. But, he points, the revolution was only a be- ginning, and the duty laid upon us by that beginning is that we bring things then begun to a noble triumph of completion. To that end then, it is the duty of every mar who claims himself an American citizen to uphold the ideals of Americanism, to fight, if needs be, that these ideals may be kept ever alive. And, as no man can serve two masters, the only way in which the Liberty which was established by the patriots of 1776 can be maintained is for the men of 1915 to look neither to the left nor the right, but to stand their ground and unflinchingly support the true doctrines of Independence. We of the present day sometimes forget the great advantages we enjoy, in per- sonal liberty and all the other won- derful attributes that go hand in hand with a freedom as we kneow it under the Stars and Stripes of- Amer- ica. We would keep on fergetting these things if it were not for the endless procession of immigrants ever knocking at our ask- ing for admission to a land that will shelter from the things they have grown to abhor. And it is this endless tide of incoming human be- ings that always keeps the spirit of young. President Wilson, hinted at this And we been was live. gates them America in as many words, phase of the foreign situation. he even went further. He said, have not only been augmented by ad- ditions from outside, but we have been greatly stimulated by thoce addi- tions.” And that is true. Were it not for the constant influx of immi- grants to these shores those of us who have been enjoying the advan- tages of a free country would long ago have ceased to apprecitate them, would have leaned back satiated or perhaps disgruntled; would have for- gotten all about the nations of the globe wherein personal liberty, even at this late day, is not such a well known quantity. We -would not take long to forget what a blessing liberty really if the phalanx of hungry souls was not ever passing be- is, fore our gaze. And the President pleaded for pa- triotism. Well he should. With some of the native horn, patréegism is fast dying a natural death. There is something radically wrong with the American who is not glad to stand up and proclaim himself, something wrong with the man who does not gloat with pride over the fact he is an American citizen. For, of all the countries beneath God’s blue sky, there is none greater than this, none that means so much to the man of common clay. This is the time to re- new our patriotism. America first, is a good slogan. It should be stamped on the brain of every man and woman and child in the nation, who looks to this land as his or her land. The spirit of America is the thing we must ever uphold. As the President has knowingly said, “there have been some among us who have not thought first of ' America, who have thought to use the might of America in some matter not of Amer- ica's originative” True, there have been some Of these people amongst us, and there still are some here; but their day has come. They must go, and all who think as they do must go. There must be a lining up,—the good and the bad, the Americans and those who are against the sheep and the goats, if you please, ths men love and cherish this country and those who have centered their thoughts on some other land must all line up for the final inspec- tion. This is the dividing of the ways. There can be no middle ground when America is at stake. 1f it has to be made a campaign question for 1916, well and good.

The Great American Flirt. (Waterbury Democrat.) Mrs. Alec Tweedle, an English writer, in a recent book on “Women the World Over,” pays a special tribute to American women. It isn’t the usual one, at all. In comparing she is struck less by their vaunted Feauty or intellect than by their su- rreme genius for the world-old game of flirting. In this realm, we are told, the American girl has only one com- pctitor. “Of all coquettes on this globe, of many races and divers colors, the greatest flirts are American and Spanish.” The two types, however, are characterized by very different methods. ‘““The Span- ish girl is a silken, sinuous flirt, with beautiful little hands and feet and lazy ways. The American is an effer- vescent one. She bubbles all over with life and enthusiasm, is virile to her finger tips, ‘jollies’ men until 1 Port | Constantinople are all on the war | to | from hehind trees or piles of stone. the delivery of the goods?—Philade!l- | stress will not be put on the matter | By | tiem with the women of other lands | the | | ne objected ‘‘pintedly’’ to seeing General Goethals will stick at the | ceased. | sthe unflirtatious feminist | American may yet become.” | men, at least, utter a word | test. they do not know whether they are on their heads or their heels.” TUn- doubtedly the compliment—if it is a compliment—is deserved, as millions of made Americans can testify, many cf them to their sorrow. Whether will take any satisfaction in this eminence is semewhat doubtful. It is still more doubtful whether any American women except the handful that hope to marry into English titles will be pleased by Mrs, Tweedle's conclusion that “the American woman is what tile modern English woman might have been had she not centuries of conservation and tradition behind her; we (the English) are what the fair Let our of pro- | Ameri- | If the evolution of the | car js going to make her more and | more like the English woman, we v.ant no more evolution. We prefer American women as they are. One Determined Man. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) The Texas rancher, Mr. McAllen, Wwho stood pat against the invasion of his ranch house by a band of armed Mexicans, killing two and wounding a sufficient number to drive the mar- auders off, showed what one deter- mined man may do when he stands upon his rights with his back to his hearthstone and shoots to kill or cripple. Mr. McAllen's encounter with the Mexicans lacks the “human interest’ that would have attached to it had this been a home in which a wife and children hundled behind their protec- tor to watch with anxious eyes the re- sults of the battle between unequal torces. He was a bachelor who ate peppery mixtures prepared by a Mex- ican cook and lived, no doubt, a rough if not a venturesome domestic life, pitting a good digestion and hope against the output of the skillet. But the ranch house raided by thieving ruf- fians from beyond the border. He ac- quitted himself in good old-fashioned border style when he potted the lead- er and the leader’s first lleutenant {and winged a few of the rank and ! formidable than — Brockton | i M.

They were hungry, no doubt, and in need of money, of course, and they were armed and accustomed to deeds of violence. But the bark of their shooting irons did not stand against the bite of the ranchman’s rifle. If there were a sheriff in every county as firm in his intentions as J. in the Lone Star state, there never would be a lynching. i Preventable Injuries of the Eye. (Medical Journal.)

Even with all these ptecautions, however, accidents are bound to happen, but if the sight of an eye is occasionally lost through some unavoidable accident, we can feel that everything possible has been done to prevent it. How dif- ferent are our feelings when we see an eye destroyed through some acci- dent that could easily have been avolded. Many a mother has wept bitter tears of anguish knowing that she alone was to blame for the loss of sight in her baby's eye, through her carelessne: If she had not allowed the child to get within reach of scis- pins, knives, etc, or perhaps i if the child had not been allowed to | of glass. back into the family circle”” announces | run across the room with the doll in her arms, she would not have fallen breaking the doll's eves and having her own eyes cut by the broken bits Many of these preventable accidents can be avoided by using a little care and ordinary common sense Not alone in the care of infants, but with adults engaged in ordinary household employments as well a lit- tle extra precaution will often prevent | serious results from apparently triv- | perhaps, ial accidents. For example, eves have been irreparably damaged by flying bits of glass from a broken tumbler; by a tack flying into the eye, In lay- ing a carpet; from a small bit of lime falling from a broken ceiling; from stoping in a dark room and striking the eye on the sharp corner of a table or chair. In fact, the possibili- ties of accidents of this sort are in- numerable, where a little less haste or a little extra care would prevent them. The Errors of 1913. (Bridgeport Standard.) The Journal of Commerce, com- menting upon the proposition to maintain the sugar duty as one means of preventing a deficiency of revenue ays: “Sugar is of such universal use | and such a large part of its use is in the nature of luxury that there is no perceptible addition to the cost to the average comsumer from a duty sufficient to yield $50,000,000 a year to the government. The president's mind is said to be open to a suspen- slon of the provision for the removal of the duty on the first of March next. . The suspension may be agreed to, but it would be better to undo the error of 1913 altogether.” It is indeed true thot it would be best to repeal that portion of the act rath- er than to hold it continually and in- definitely over the country as a threat | of future imposition. : | Many other “errors of 1913" are to be provided against now that the op- eration of the new tariff law threatens to impose upon the couatry conditions prejudicial to indstry and contrary to the best interests of the country at large.

D138, - WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office. Unique Contest. (New Haven Union.) St. Louis is putting up a fight against the insurance companies. unique The great gulf storm, spent in force, but still severe, hit the town for twenty-four hours and almost every house in the city was dam- aged by rain soaking through walls. The rain for all those hours was blown 50 that, if not immediately, within a week inside plastering and papering were ioosened and dropped off the walls. House-owners presented claims for damage under cyclone insurance policles. The insurance companies rejected the claims because it was claimed the damage was not due to wind. St. Louis claims that if a strong wind for twenty-four presses a mass ‘'of water against and finally through a house wall, surely the re- sultant destruction is an effect of a wind and is therefore to be compen- | sated under the wind clauses of c) clone policies. If not, then all clauses in those policies resolve themselves into air, thin air. Apparently the .cases are going the highest courts for adjudication. raging to Experdence Points The Way. (Norwich Bulletin.) Bxperience is a great teacher and it works out just the same whether it is applied to an individual or the government, whether it concerns an insignificant piece of legislation or the tariff. It wasn’t long ago that the democrats were clamoring for free sugar and even though the adminis- tration understood the importance of revenue it was confident that it could | get along under its plans and .cast | aside the $70,000,000, more or less, | that had been received annually from the sugar that was brought into this country. It was considered nec- essary to put this commodity upon the free list and sacrifice this amount of ready cash regardless of the harm that would be done to the industry in this country, because it promised so much for the ultimate consumer. Though the tariff on sugar is not to be'entirely removed until next spring ‘it has long been recognized that the sugar schedule is a revenue producing method which the country cannot afford to part with. There has been lost about $20,000,000 a year since the reduction went into effect and should sugar go onto the free list as planned it would mean the loss of $50,000,000 a yvear more. The depleted condition of the treasury cries out against it and though it may appear to be a case of eating crow there is common sense in the announcement which comes from Washington to the effect that the provision for free sugar will be suspended and it would not be at all surprising if' the duty imposed by the last administration was restored. TIn this respect congress will have something besides theories to guide it this winter, and it will not all be confined to sugar. Sons of Presidents, (Bridgeport Farmer.) Few sons of American presidents have made a very high mark in the world, and not since the days of John Quincy Adams has the son of a chief executive of the republic occupied the White House. Benjamin Harrison in- herited his ability as a statesman from his grandfather, President Wil- Ham Henry Harrison. But if the sons of latter day presidents have not been highly distinguished, most of them have been useful and honor- able citizens. Today is the Afty- second birthday of Harry Augustus Garfleld, son of President James Abram Garfield, who since 1908 has served as president of Williams Col- lege at Willlamstown, Mass. He was borne at Hiram, O., where his famous father was for a time president of Hiram College, before he studied iaw and entered the political arena. When Harry Garfield was born his father had just been elected to Congress, after service in the Union army in which he had won the rank of major- general of volunteers. Like his father and his brothers, Harry Garflield was educated at Williams College, en- tering the institution of which he was to become the head shortly after the assassination of his father. In 1888 ( he .married Belle Hartford Mason, of Cleveland and established himself as a lawyer in the Ohjo metropolis, in partnership with his brother, James Rudolph Garfleld, afterward Secretary of the Interior of the cabinet of Presi- dent Roosevelt. He abandoned the law in 1903 to become professor of | politics at Princeton University, and | five years later was appointed presi- dent of Williams College. At Prince- ton Dr. Garfield was a member of the faculty headeq by President Wilson, and at Williams College he had as his assistant Francis B. Savre. son-in-law Of other sons of latter-day presidents who have won wide fame, perhaps the most dis- | tinguishga were Frederick D. Grant, who reached the rank of major-gen- eral in the United States army, and Robert T. Lincoln, who served as Sec- retary/of War in the cabinets of Gar- field jand Arthur, and was afterward United States minister to Great Brit- ain/]und president of the Pullman Co. The Blue and the Gray. (From the Lakeland, Fla., Telegram.) It is pleasant to learn from the dis- patches that many Confederate veterans mingled on cordial fraternal s, With the old soldiers of the M%al Ve Gra. Neiayll encampy| We can’t think such ety | through Winter Dust. (Bridgeport Telegram.) Winter dust is one of the worst nuisances which the city faces dur- ing the cold season. When the ther- | mometer is flirting with the zero line, and frigid breezes are blowing trees, whirlwinds of dust sometimes sweep through business section of city like miniature siroc- cos .The dry keen air absorbs the moisture from the streets and dust and refuse are quickly picked up by the wind and flung into the eyes nose and mouth, and percolated intc the clothing of the unfortunate pedes- trian. In summer our paved streets in the business section are sprinkled in the daytime and cleaned and washed with squeegee machines at night. The dust nuisance is thus pratically al- layed. But in winter, the use of water ordinarily is prohibited 1t would freeze almost as soon as 1t struck the street and thus make the center of the city one vast skating rink. There is a solution to this problem however, and it is interesting and simple. Boston has discovered that by the use of calcium chloride it can sprinkle its streets is the Winter time with entire success. Calcium chloride is a very inexpensive chemical salt having a strong affinity for water. The state of Connecticut uses it in large Qquantities as a dust preventive and road binder. In addition to these qualities, it has the faculty of greatly lowering the freezing point of water By the expedient of dissolving suf- ficient calcium chloride in each filling of a watering cart, streets may be sprinkled in the winter time and the old time dust bugaboo allayed. The need for such sprinkling would be only very occasional of course. A good part of the winter season brings rain and sleet, and there is certainly no need of sprinkling then. Snow on the ground is of course a dust pre- ventive and there is no trouble from dust when the wind is low. But or a keen, dry winter's day with a high wind, the dust nuisance is intolerabe. indeed, it is quite probable that .he filth which is blown in the form of dust into people’s mouths and mses on such occasions is far more respon- sible for the winter's epidemic of colds and sore throats, than the dampness and cold which are gengal- ly blamed for such troubles Kipling’s Son. (Holyoke Transcript.) People all over the world, wio have read the later work of Rudyad Kip- ling and seen how the heart of a father has been shown in tiem, will read with regret that among tie mis- sing, ‘“somewhere in Frane" after the big drive of last week, ir his only son John Kipling. The Comnecticut Valley has always felt an sdded per- sonel interest in Kipling sine he mar- ried a Brattleboro girl and or a time lived in that beautiful toyn to the north of us. L] After Rudyard Kiplirg married, and more especially after his illness with pneumonia his art took a differ- ent turn. There was « deeper spir- ituality, ewen™@ touck of mysticism.

More lately ne has been in France wiiting home very fascinating yet un- werlike letters describing the trench lify there. Now somewhere in France liet his beloved son, the lad for whom he wove so many a tale that all the other boys in the world might read. What the Kiplings are suffering is the same sorrow that has fallen upon milllvns of homes all through Europe. Because the world knaws how much his home and children mean to Rud- vard Hipling it comes sharply home that many another boy of eighteen, the victim_of a war “made by old men” has /given his full measure for his country, just as John Kipling gave his. It Was the Truth at That. (Kansas City Star.) 0Old Uncle Will was still faithful to his young “missus,” but the truth of many of his amazing statements had long since ceased to be depended upon. One day from the kitchen window he saw a motor car being driven by a young girl. “] tell you, Miss Bess, it sho am a gangerous thing, all dis yere a-drivin’ by wimmin folkses.’ “Why, what is the danger?” his amused ‘‘missus.” “Well, Miss Bess, what wuz run over by one of dem things whar de lady wuz a-drivin’, long ‘bout two year 'go, an’ dat nig- ger, he was so plum scairt ae ain't breathed since, no'm, not once!" “Oh, Uncle Will, think again.

The question of numerical super- jority is of extremely great impori- ance in naval fights—much greater than in land battles. Ashore a weak- er force, by entrenching and using ob- stacles, etc., can stand off a much stronger one; for example, the Ger- man army in France has probab been outnumbered more than two to one during the recent extraordinary operations in Poland, vet the Allied troops have been unable to make any headway against the strongly en- trenched line. But on the water the “terrain’ offers no protection and in consequence it is mathemati- cally demonstrable . that, assuming equality of units, the “strength” of two opposing fleets varies as ‘the “square’’ of the numbers of ships.
