Who'll never hear another's plan And seeks no further light: But I like more the i-hap who sings A somewhat different song. Who save, when he has messed up things. "I'm sorry; 1 was wrong." It s hard for any one to say That failures due to him That he has lost the fight or way Because his lights burned dim. It takes a man aside to throw The vanity that's strong. Confessing, " 'Twas my fault. I know; I'm sorry; 1 s wrong." And so. 1 figure, those who use This honest, manly phrase. Hate it too much their way to lose On many future days. They'll keep the path and make the fight. Because they do not long To have Id say when they're not right Tm sorry; I was wrong." Exchange. R- HUGHES, who would 4 he president, in his speech of acceptance of the republican nomination ( qualifies as a critic but little else. His whole address was scarcely more than a diatribe against the present adminis tration. It is easv to criticise. Any one can do it and almost every one does do it more or less. But there are critics and critics, and thost to whom we grant the i most consideration are those who criticise with Intelligence and fairness. The honest cri- tic is as quick to point out mer-, its as he is to find fault. Mr. Hughes' speech can) hardlv be said to contain any compliments for President Wil son, and yet there is no one, no matter how biased, who will refuse to concede that some no-; table achievements have mark ed the present administration. However, the republican can didate's speech was purely po litical and. of course, his cri ticisms are entirely partisan. They cannot, therefore, be ac cepted as the best available. There can be no particular objection to him criticising the president, for that is the most natural thing for him to do in-, asmuch as he wants the presi dent's job. But he should not have stopped with criticism of the other man. He should ,have offered to the people something better. He should , have supplemented his criti ; cism by defining a construc tive, definite' policy of his own. ; He should not have contented himself with damning the pres ident's course of action but should have stated very ex plicity what would have been his course and what will be his ; course. Before asking the peo ple of his country to cast out a man who is a known quan tity, he should advise them as to what they may expect from his successor. "Those who can. do; those , who can't, criticise." Mr. Hughes has not had the oppor tunity to do, but he can at least tell us what he would have done and what he will do. Whatever the faults he finds ! with the president's diplomacy, it has at least kept us at peace in the midst of a warring world. We are entitled to know the brand of diplomacy Mr. Hughes intends to use. or ; whether he is to use any di plomacy at all. A BIG TUNNEL )R more than a hundred IT years the idea of a tunel under the channel be tween England and France has been entertained, says the Bos ton Post. For a long time it was regarded as an Impracti cable fancy; about 50 years ago. borings and soundings were made, which showed that it could be done so far as natural obstructions were con cerned. But the government stopped the preliminary work undertaken by private inter ests, on the ground of interna tional and military complica tions. It is notable that the late Lord Wolseley strongly opposed the opening of such a convenient passage for the en trance of a French army into British territory. But the world has moved since that day. and the alli ances of the present war have encouraged the idea that such I means of communication be tween the British islands and the continent would be desir able rather than dangerous. In fact, it is now seen that such a tunnel would have been of groat practical service, both military and commercial, dur ing this crisis. ' You know who the critics are?" once wrote Beaconsfield, I "the men who have failed in! literature and art." He might have included politics. Frontier shows come and; they go but the Round-Up grows on forever. Now that the Deutschland has started for home and Case-! ment is no more Old Man Poli-I tics may find easier access to the front page. .......
