I must say that the forecast has been very largely verified an 1 that the im pression I had then has $een deepened rather than weakened. "Sometimes, when I am most beset.

Variety Among Our Citizenship. "When we are deaiing with Demo cratic affairs, gentlemen, we are deal ing .With things that to us as Ameri can' &j-e mors orJess i-alculable." There la a singular variety among our clt- llcenshtp, it ,1s true, a greater variety even than I had anticipated, but, after I all. we are all steeped In the same at mosphere, we are all surrounded by the I same environment, we aio all more or less affected by the same traditions, and moreover, we are working out something .that has to be worked out among ourselves-, and the elements are I the re to be dealt with first hand. "But when the fortunes of your own country are,' so. to say, subject to the incalculable winds of passion that are slowing through other parts of the vorld, then the strain is of singular ind unprecedented kind because you So not know by what turn of the wheel fortune the control of things is s'olng to he taken out of your hands. Two Seasons for Peso. "You can Imagine the strain upon the feelings of any man who is trying lo interpret the spirit of his country hen he feels tht that spirit cannot liave lts own way beyand a certain olnt. And one of the qreatest potnts lf strain upon me, If I may he per- tnlttect to point It out, was this: "There are two reasjns why the hlef wish of Americans is for peace. Iine Is that they love peace and have lOthlng to do with the present quarrel. na ins otner is that they believe the olltical quarrel has carried those en gaged In It so far that they cannot be lield to ordinary standards of respon sibility, and that, therefore, as some Inen have expressed it to me. since the lest of the world Is mad, why should re not simply refuse to have anything lo do with the rest of the world In the kdlnary channels of action? Why lot let the storm pass, and then, when It Is all over, have the leekonings? America's Place la the World. "Knowing that from both these two folnts of view, the passion of America 'as fop peace.

BellTss la Spanking. "If a man will not listen to you quietly In a seat, sit on his neck and make him listen just as I have always maintained, particularly in view of certain experiences of mine, that the shortest road to a boy's moral sense Is through his cuUcle. There is a di rect and, if I may be permitted tho pun, a fundamental connection be tween the surface of his skin and his moral conscience. You arrest his at tention first in that way and then' get the moral lesson conveyed to him In milder ways that, if he were grown up, would be the only ways you would uso. "Ho 1 say that I have been a war.; that In order to do the very thing that wo are proudest of the ability to do. there might come a time when we would have to do It in a way that we would prefer not to do It; and the great burden on my spirits, gentlemen, lias been that it has been up to me to choose when that lime came. Omniscient Writers Scored. "In domestic matters I think I can In most cases come pretty near a guesa where the thought of America Is going, but In foreign affairs the chief ele ment is where action is going on In other quarters of the world and not where thought Is going in the United States. Therefore. I have several tlmrn taken the liberty of urging upon you gentlemen i.ot yourselves to know more than the state department know.; about foreign affairs. Some of vou have shown a .singular range of om niscience, and certain things have been reported as 'understood In administra tive circles' which I never heard of until I read the newspapers. I am constantly taken by surprise in regard t i decisions which are said to be my own. , Xumors May Cause Disaster. "Now, that is pretty dangerous, gen tlemen, because it happens that re marks start fires. There is tinder ly ing everywhere, and a man that spreads sparks may be responsible for some thing a great ileal worse than burn ing a town on the Mexican border. Thoughts may be bandits. Thoughts may be raiders. Thoughts may be In vaders. Thoughts may be disturbers of international peace. And when you reflect upon the Importance of this country keeping out of the present war, you will know that tremendous "ele ments we are all dealing with. ' 1 tell you, gentlemen, the only thing that saves the world Is the little handful of disinterested men that are In it. Knows Some Disinterested Men. "Now. I have found a few disinter ested men. I wish I had found more. I can name two or three men with whom I have conferred again and again and again, and I have never caught them by any inadvertence thinking about themselves for their own inter ests, and I tie to those men as you would tie to an anchor. I tie to them as you would tie to the voices of conscience If you could be sure that you always heard them. Men who have no axes to grind! Men who lve America so that they would give their lives for it and never care whether anybody heard that they had given their lives for it willing to die in obscurity If only they might serve! Those are the men, and nations like those men are the na tions that are going to serve the world and save it. There never was a time In the history of the world when charac ter. Just sheer character, all by itself, told more than it does now. Some Men Grow; Some Swell. ' "A friend of mine says that every man who takes office in. Washington either grows or swells', and when I give a man an office I watch him care fully to see whether he is swelling or growing. The mischief of it is tha' when they swell they do not t-well enough to burst. If they would only swell to the point where you might in sert a pin and let out the gas it would be a great delight. I do not know any pastime that would be more div3iting. The men who grow are the balance- wheel of the whole thing. Thev are the ballast that enables the craft to carry sail and make port in tha long run, no matter what the weather is. Has Come Through the Fire.

I have to deal with some men who know no more of the modern processes of politics than if they were hying in the eighteenth century, and for them I have a profound and comprehensive intellectual contempt.

'Yes,' says the red queen, 'you have to run twice as fast as that to get anywhere else." "That Is also true, gentlemen, of the world and of affairs. You have got to run fast merely to stay where you are, and in order to get anywhere you hve got to run twice as fast as that. That Is what people do not realize. That is the mischief of these nopeless dams against the stream known as reaction- j aries and standpatters and other words of oblo'iuv.

"We need their places for people who are awake and we particularly need now. gentlemen, men who will divest themselves of party passion and of personal preference and will try to think in the terms of America. If a man describes himself to me now in any other terms than those terms I am not sure of him, and I love the fel lows that come into my office some times and say, "Mr. President, I am an American.' Their hearts are right, their Instinct true, they are going in the right direction, and will take the rinht leadership if they believe that the leader is also a man who thinks first of America." $5 Durham Duplex Razors Introductory Price 90c By special arrangement with the Durham Duplex Razor Co., we are authorized to sell for a limited time the $5 outfit in genuine- leather case, easy to carry, full package blades and stropping attachments.

Federal Censorship Bill Is Given Support Committee Xecommends It to House ; Would Place Deputies la All Parts of Country ; Tees to ray Expenses. Washington. May 17. (I. N. S.) The Hughes bill, providing federal censorship of motion pictures, was fa vorably reported out by the house edu cation committee today. Representa tive Hughes, in advocating the bill, declared it would safeguard tne pub lie against vicious "movies," while workfhg no hardshtp on honest film producers. The measure provides for a federal motion picture committee of five mem bers, with offices in Washington, and authority to appoint deputy commis sioners throughout the country. Films would be compelled to bear the com mission's license before being shipped from one etate to another. 'Fees for licenses are set at $2, and 50 cents for duplicates. Revenue from fees would give the government $150,000 yearly, It is estimated, covering the commission's expenses. Upon adverse decision of one com missioner or deputy against a film, the producer may appeal to the full commission and from the commission's decision may carry his case to the su preme court of the District of Colum bia. Maximum punishment for violation of the bill's provisions is fixed at a fine of 11000, one year in jail, or both. Salmon Bake Sunday. Roseburg, Or., May 17.
