NATION WITHOUT A BREADLINE

“At this hour, from the Atlantic to .the Pacific, there is not a bread line or public soup kitchen.” The foregoing quoted words were uttered by George M- Reyonlds, president of the Continental and Commercial National bank of Chicago, perhaps the second largest banking institution in the country. Mr. Reynolds was talking to a staff correspondent of the Washington Star, who was visiting Chicago to ascertain the business situation and to gain the views of thoughtful men upon the treaty, politics and kindred subjects. George M. Reynolds is a Republican dnd in recent years has been a heavy contributor to the Republican campaign fund. But his quoted words indicate that he is not so much a partisan that he will not admit an obvious truth, which

is that America never was so prosperous.

It is not to be supposed that Mr. Reynolds intended to deprive the Republican political leaders of their old-time campaign cry that Republican success uneans the full dinner pail. The fact is, however, he did that very thing and it is significant that within a few days after the appearance of the Reynolds interview Republican chieftains announced the full dinner pall would not be numbered among the G. O. P, slogans in 1920. “The great mass of the people are prosperous and contented,” was another utterance the Washitagton Star correspondent credited to Mr. Reynolds. Proof of this fact was found on Christmas day w*hen charitable organizations throughout the nation were unable to muster hardly a corporal’s guard to partake of bounteous spreads provided for the poor. Commenting upon the absence of the bread-line, the New York World, in a Christmas editorial, said: “Not in many years, if ever, has the number of ihotmeless and destitute persons been so small as this winter. It is an encouraging condition. Plenty of work and good pay is the general rule. With few exceptions, the cases of idleness are those who refuse opportunities to work or belong to the class of chronic lazy whom neither pride nor self-respect can urge to earn a decent living. Short of bad health or hard luck, the man out of a job and walking the streets can hope for little sympathy.”

THE PRESIDENT AND THE RAILROADS

None of President Wilson’s critics even among his political opponents can truthfully charge that in his action with respect to the railroads he has moved hastily or without giving the Republican 'majority in congress a fair opportunity to formulate and enact a permanent measure to safeguard the interests of stockholders and the public’s rights. Although it was concededly a big problem, this return of the roads to private ownership under whatever form of federal supervision the people desired to have exercised, certainly congress bad ample time in which to supply a solution. That some definite and final disposition of the roads was necessary both to their stockholders and users was manifest to every men> ber of congress. When the Republican leaders of the sixty-sixth congress dallied with this vital question and wasted six months of the special session without approaching a serious consideration of it. President Wilson could have turned the situation to the disadvantage of the party in control of legislation. But he preferred to regard the country’s welfare first and last, rather than seek political gain by an official act in so important a matter. It is certain that many Republicans in congress would have hesitated not at all —had they been in his place—to capitalize such a conspicuous opportunity to their own

aggrandizement and the confusion of their opponents. Some persons may regret that President Wilson did not repay in kind the treatment which he has received at the hands of Republicans in the senate and the house of representatives, but the vast 'majority of American citizens will approve his course and see in his action a patriotic effort to put the country’s good before his own party’s interest.

“A CABINET OF CHANGES”

“A cabinet of sneers our young friend Harvey's Weekly apropos of the prospective retirement of Franklin K. Lane, and “there is still time for several more changes.” How differently things were ordered in those dear Roosevelt days! Wilson has had two secretaries of state and Roosevelt had only three, comments the New York World in a recent editorial. Wilson has had one secretary of the navy ana Roosevelt had only six. Wilson has had one secretary of the interior and Roosevelt had only two. Wilson has had two secretaaries of war and Roosevelt had only three. Wilson has had one postmaster general and Roosevelt had only five. Wilson has had as many attorneys general as Roosevelt, and two secretaries of the treasury to Roosevelt’s three. During the Roosevelt administration there were nine departments of government and 29 more or less distinguished statesmen wandered in and out of the cabinet, and only one of them managed to survive both of the Roosevelt administrations. But it is the Wilson cabinet, of course, that is “a Cabinet of changes.”

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

It is a strange commentary that Chairman Will H. Hays makes on the present leadership of the Re-, publican party when he stipulates that competitors for the prize of SIO,OOO to be offered for the best suggestions for the next Republican national iplatform shall be “young men or young women under 25 years of age.” Has he no confidence in the ancients of his party? Does he, too, doubt the wisdom 'and ability of the men who have been managing the G. O. P. 10, these many years? Is it possible that he has come to believe —with

the rest of the country—that youths "under 25 years of age” are as capable of making a successful Republican platform as Senator Lodge or Majority Leader Mondell of the house of representatlTes, for example? Truman H. Newberry remains an active unit of the Republican m<aJority in the senate notwithstanding the charges of corruption, fraud and conspiracy made against him in a federal court in connection with his election as United States senator from Michigan. If MrNewberry followed the example of other senators who abstained, while under charges, from participation in the senate’s deliberations and voting, the Republican majority would be reduced to a margain of one or two. Mr. Newberry shows no delicacy about helping his party control the senate, and his party —including Republican senators — has no objection to accepting his assistance.

There were fewer calls for charity on Christmas this year than ever before. Republicans thiled in their effort to make an issue of the war, and now they can point to no famine as a reason for putting them in power. Pestilence is the only hope remaining. Senator Gronna was in the midst of a fine speech against his party’s "gag rule” in the senate when he was gagged and could proceed no further. The recent history of the senate seems to show that a "Progressive” is a Republican politician who backs up when “Boss” Penrose gives the order. President Wilson ate a hearty Christmas dinner, says the news. "Doctor” Moses doubtless read that announcement with interest and wonder. Holidays presuppose work days. In that case how does the Republican congress justifj^ its two weeks’ vacation?

LEADERS OUT OF HARMONY

Dublin Physician Says Retainers’ Acts Oppose De Valera V|ew. Dublin, Dec. 17.—Eamonn De Valera’s speeches in America with regard to the part played by Irish soldiers in the war have been read in Ireland with some surprise, and it is pointed out here that De Valera’s sentiments differ from those of his supporters. Captain M’Walter, a Dublin physician and member of the Dublin municipal council, who served throughout the war in the army medical corps, writes as follows in the Dublin Press: "All, the ex-service men, and there are over 40,000 of us, were pleased to find Mr. De Valera assuring his American audience that we fought for a principle and that Irishmen in the earlier days of the war rushed to the ranks in overwhelming numbers. But whilst Mr. De Valera rightly interprets our position to the Americans his followers and supporters in Dublin never cease to pour contumely on Irish soldiers and to heap every indignity possible upon them. "Returned soldiers are treated as lepers rather than as heroes. Men who had not the manliness to fight either in the army or in the rebellion now find courage to persecute by every means in their power those army or ex-service men whom De Valera lauds, and even carry their vindictiveness against every man who helps them.”

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Keener and Newton townships had two days’ Christmas vacation. । This was done to enable the pupils to get out in time for early spring I work and also to enable the teachers Ito get more schooling during the summer. Miss Jessie White, of Newton township, attended the Masonic banquet at Wheatfield last Monday night. William May has taken the Center . school in Wheatfield township to I finish the term. Richard Bowie taught the school for four months during which time Mr. Bowie was searching for a regularly quafified teacher. Rosabelle Daugherty will teach the Banner school in Milroy township from the holidays to the close of the term. Trustee Wood’s wife was kind enough to teach this school until a qualified teacher was found. Miss Daugherty has beep attending a school at Chicago, but decided to teach after the holidays. Sb far these are the only vacancies in the county. There is absolutely no hope of filling other vacancies should they occur. Superintendent Sterrett 'went to Valparaiso to get prospective teachers available. It is hoped that no other vacancies appear in Jasper county. I It is remarkable how well the teaching force is satisfying the public at present. Jasper county has more beginners this yqar likely than in the history of the bounty. There are twenty-nine first-term teachers ion duty at this time. It is true that they are giving service surprisingly valuable in their respective communities. Patrons are always willing ito help these teachers who can be ,to}d and are willing to serve. The public is to be commended for the aid it is giving these amateurs in the teaching. A good commonsensed community is more serviceable to a willing teacher than the most efficient county superintendent. The successful box socials on reci ord this year is exceptional evi- । dence by way of proof of the above , statement. The trustees are always a stimulus to the teachers who are willing for success. This backing is probably the teacher’s first aid when something starts wrong. Patrons divulge to the trustee and he is in a position to advise the teacher before trouble gets a firm grasp. The newspapers, institutes, visiting days, county superintendent are secondary factors functioning in 1 a secondary way also to assist the teachers in their teaching of successful schools. If the second half of this school year is as free from friction as the first, then this will be recorded as a very successful school year.
