THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH:— The admirable speech of President Wilson delivered Tuesday at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press, will be read with interest, and we believe with approval, not only throughout the United States but throughout the world. It is an answer, and a very effective one, to many of the criticisms directed against the administration's policy, some of which are of domestic and some of foreign origin. But the speech is much more than that—namely an affirmative declara i tion of principles the soundness of i which can not be disputed. And the 1 temper and tone of the utterances are i as wise and helpful as the principles. I The argument is that we should | keep our tempers, show our selt'-mas- i tery, and maintain our solidarity, not i simply for our own sake, but that we i may, when the time comes, help the < people of the other nations. Primar- i ily, the speech was intended for 1 Americans, but it is for Americans < who must look forward to constantly s growing opportunities for usefulness. 1 One of these opportunities may come < at an early day. As Mr. Wilson said i yesterday: "Whatever may be said < about the present condition of the 1 world's affairs, it is clear that they are I drawing rapidly to a climax, and at i the climax the test will come, not only t of the nations engaged in the present i colossal struggle, it will come for <

« them, of course, but the test will come ■ to us particularly," But wlather we shall be able to be of any service or not depends very largely on the relations that exist among our own people, and between them and their government. The nation’s first thought, therefore, should be of Itself. The president said: "There is in some quarters a disposition to create distempers in this body politic. Men are even uttering slanders against the United States, as if to excite her. Men are saying that if we should go to war upon either side there will be a divided America —an abominal libel of ignorance. America is not all vocal just now. It is vocal in spots. But I, for one, have a complete and abiding faith in that great, silent body of Americans who are not standing up and shouting and expressing their opinion just now, but are waiting to find out and support the duty of America. I am just as sure of their solidity and loyalty and of their unanimity, if we act justly, as I am that the history of this country has at every crisis and turning point illustrated this great lesson,” These wise words were addressed directly to newspaper men. They ought to be heeded by newspapers all over the country. The first duty of those who influence public opinion is to strengthen, as far as they can, the feeling of unity among our own peo pie; to give them a home rather than p. foreign point of view; to keep down excitement and to promote moderation both of thought and speech. We cannot afford to have our domestic politics turn on questions involving foreign politics. There is always that danger in this country, where we have so many citizens of foreign birth. But that very fact gives us an advantage of which the president spoke. It makes us a natural mediator, not necessarily by direct action, and certainly not as a meddler. But we can, through the diverse elements of our population, interpret the different nationalities to one another, and understand the European nations, and it is quite impossible for them to under

stand one another. The speech of Mr. Wilson is as wise and prudent us it is elevated in thought and lofty in tone, it ought to have a profound influence. —Indianapolis News. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦»♦•»♦♦••♦♦♦♦♦»; DOINGS IN SOCIETY : ♦MMMMMMM M<MMM« WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

Q WAS NOT SO AGGRESSIVE. Syracuse, N. Y„ April 22—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Colonel Roosevelt today went on the stand under cioss-examination in the libel suit o! William Barnes. His expected grilling began tamely. The colonel did not seem so aggressive. Barnes' coun sei did not use badgering tactics. The colonel took the stand about 11:30 o'clock and his cross-examination was expected to continue all afternoon. He will be followed by his former secre tary, William Loeb. Roosevelt's ear liest political history was traced. Hr did not “come back” when Barnes’ counsel questioned his residence eligibility to run for governor in 1898. Be fore the cross-examination. Roosevelt testified that he issued the alleged li belous statement primarily to reach New York voters during the cam paign last summer. He said he ex pected it to be published in full and hoped in part, throughout the coun try. Before Roosevelt was recalled documents, painting Barnes as a boss in league with “Boss" Murphy and the personal beneficiary of graft of the “printing ring" in Albany were intro duced by the Roosevelt side. o COURT HQUIC NEWS.

WHAT ACCESSORIES WILL DO Have a Very Great and Definite Value in the Schems of Things, According to Writer, ■ “We ewi only live onco, and the ft ore we live the better," wrote Fllaon Young, English novelist, “and I lind upon examination that the passion for accessories is only an expression of a passion for life. “Not to follow up those engaging byways of temptation is to miss a great deal of agreeable and accidental information and knowledge of the kind that makes life full and Interesting. “You can press the button of your camera and send your films to be developed and remain unenlightened, but if you equip yourself with half its accessories, photography will lead you far into the sciences of physics and chemistry. “If you have a horse and some one to look after him, you need not occupy yourself very much about hie needs; but if you have this interest in accessories and take a pleasure in thinking not how little, but how much, you can do toward making your horse's stable a kind of shrine, it will not only bring you nearer to him and make you understand him better, but it will make you understand a great many other things, such as the rotation of crops and the working of leather. “In short, accessories are the circumference of the circle of which the thing itself is the center; they are leads and links which take us out from ourselves (and at our own expense) into the surrounding life of the world." PLANTS WITH SNAKE FANGS Many Are Capable of Inflicting Wounds as Fatal as Are Those of Deadly Reptiles. Plants that secrete poison when touched and inflict a wound almost as dangerous as a rattlesnake bite are one of the features of some tropical jungles. The most common of these poison plants is the Jatropha ureas, known in Panama and other parts of Central America as the “ortlga brave" (the cruel nettle). This plant is easily recognised and is instinctively shunned by the native animals. Trunks, leaves, flowers and fruit of the plant are covered with stinging hairs, which are in effect long tubes that are very brittle and break at the lightest touch. The poison is pro duced by a cell which, during growth, swells up, lorming a goblet-ehaped bulb set into the surrounding tissue. When the hair is touched it breaks in an oblique direction, forming a cannula which enters the skin, and the poison is discharged directly into the Wound, the action being much like that of the poison fang of a snake. The sting of this plant is painful in the extreme, but seldom fatal. Many other tropical plants have such deadly stinging hairs that the poison is sufficient to kill a man, even in small doses. —Popular Mechanics.

Dissipation. I think sometimes that our common definition of dissipation is far too narrow. We confine it to crude excesses In the use of Intoxicating liquor or the crude gratification of the passions; but often these are only the outward symbol of a more subtle disorder. The things of the world —a thousand clamoring Interests, desires, possessions —have got the better of us. Men become drunken with the inordinate desire for owning things, and dissolute with ambition for political office. I knew a man once, a farmer, who debauched himself uppn land; fed bis appetite upon the happiness of his home, cheated his children of education, and himself went shabby, bookless, joyless, comfortless, that he might buy more land. I call that dissipation, too! —From ’‘Hempfield,” by David Grayson, in the American Magazine. Best Hour for Work. It is a curious fact in psychology that nobody can stay at the same mental and physical level for twentyfour hours together. In the morning you are more matter of fact, for instance, than later in the day. It is in the morning that the best brain work Is done, too—brain work of the sort that requires industry and clear thinking. And it is about eleven in the morning that our body .reaches its highest point of energy. In other words, you are stronger, though almost imperceptibly, at eleven in the morning than at three in the afternoon. You reach the highest point twice in the day, for about five in the afternoon the muscular energy has risen again. But from five onward it declines steadily all through the evening, and on till between two and three a. m. Biblical Tribute. Exception's in the cases of such Semitic nations as the Jews, Bedouins and Edomites it is difficult if not impossible to trace any connection between the world nations of today and those mentioned in the Scriptures. The Bible is in great part a history of the family of Abraham and of one rather contracted corner of the earth, and nowhere professes to instruct in details of ethnological or any other science except that of theology. The world' has generally agreed to derive the' black races from Noah’s son Ham, the Mongolians from Shem, and Caucasians from Japhet, and beyond that (even in that all are not agreed) it is not wise nor is it helpful to push serious investigation
