Is trying lo think in billions though it Is

paratus A few years ugo It began costing
it billion dollars a year to run' our federal

talking billions. The orgnnliatlon of trusts
brought dlr.ry totals of dollars to our atten-
tion. .'
The gentlemen who give us our crop fig-
ures had been totting up into billions for
some lime beginning with the com crop
but nobody paid any much 'attention to
them- Now our wheat crop has got up into
the billion-bushel level. ' i

( Dallas fimes- Herald.)
President Wilson has a largeness of view
that usually enablna nlm to recognise the
larger steps necessary for the country's
fulle.il development. ' i
In his address to OOnf reran he places the
c .entry squarely on record In faVOf of what
lie describes as Pan-Amerlcanlsm.
The Monroe Doctrine he says was enun-
ciated In the early days when the United
States "looked upon Itself lis In some sort
the guardlnn of the republics to the south
of her as against any encroachments or ef-
forts at political control from the other
sitie of the water."
But now he says "all the governments
of America stand so far as we are con-
cerned upon a footing of genuine equality
mid unquestioned indepi ndanoe."
"The states of America are not h istlle
rivals but co-operating friends . . spir-
itual partners standing together because
thinking together quick with common sym-
pathies and common Ideals. Separated they
are subject to all lha cr .sé currmts of the
confused politics of a world op hostile riv-
alries: united in spirit and purpose they
cannot be disappointed if their peaceful
destiny."
Bflch ts the language of statesmanship.
It outlines for the American people the pol-
icy that they must follow to attain their
greatest future. The expreaaion wil'l stand
for a century aa an embodiment of the irreal
American vlalon of the future.

A Serious Political Breach.
fCrrrrrUM. XI S. br tha MaClan Karrapanar BMilMla
(CorrrrtaM. 1I. ISM br Harper a Brottorra)
ON April 11 18 tO.
the leading Demo-
crats at Washington
er let rated Mr. .feffor
son's birthday by a
formal banquet to
which the president
was bidden.
They took their cue
from Mr. Calhoun
snd th southerners
and the toasts smack-
ed shrewdly of nulli-
fication. When o. ..a .
saw their drift he got to his rt ana ki.i-
ly proposed this sentiment as his own:
"Our federal Union; It muat be preserved."
"Liberty dearer than the Union" 'cried
the vice president. In retort; but retort pnly
hardened the president's temper; and Mr.
Calhoun presently proved the last likely
person In the country to be able to softer.
The very month thnt followed that mem-
orable banquet General Jacks') i learned
for the first time that Mr. Calhoun who
had been secretary of war during his cam-
paign against the Seminóles In 1818. had
emphatically condemned his unauthorised
capture of Pensacola as a wanton act of
war against Spain and had demanded an
official Investigation of it with a view to
Its repudiation.
Hitherto he had deemed Mr. Calhoun his
friend; now he deemed him basely deceit-
ful for having played his friend after nioh
conduct In cabinet against him. He could
not separate official action in such a mat-
ter from personal enmity; and no explana-
tion that Mr. Calhoun could make did more
than increase bin bitter anger.
He turned from al who followed or con-
sorted with the South Carolinian.
Before another year was out he had re-
constructed his cabinet to purge it of Cal-
houn's friends to constitute it of men real-
ly in his confidence; partly also to discip-
line those members of the flrat cabinet who
had failed to satisfy him in a social quar-
rel. The ladles of the cabinet circle refused
recognition to Mrs. Raton the wife of the
secretary of war deeming her reputation
not unimpeachable. General Jackson be-
lieved her Innocent of their charges was
ready indeed to believe any woman In-
nocent aa his own wife had been against
whom cruel things had heen said unjustly;
against Mi's. Baton's enemies by putting the
men forth from his counsels whose wives
had slighted her against- his wishes.
The breach between the president and
Mr. Calhoun wan a serious sign of the
times.
It not only embittered the president. It
also cut all party ties for Mr. Calhoun and
set him free to work out as he pleased the
opposition of his state to the burdensome
tariff of 1828.
II also made Mr. Calhoun's theories of
nullification seem all the blacker all the
more like treason to the unforgiving old
soldier sure always of being and of having
been In the right.
It freed Mr. Calhoun and his friends
from entangling alliances. They moved the
stralghter towards their goal the vindica-
tion of the rights of the "staple states"
against the policy of federal tariffs
The hopes of 1828 had been dissipated
and the clash of sectional parties was at
hand.
In 18211 1 congress willing to 'divert the
rising storm by moderate concessions pass-
ed a new tariff act substituting for the
"abominations" of 18Í8 a schedule of
duties substantially the same as those of
1824.
But the new measure like the old yield-
ed nothing of the principle of protection
and the 8outh Carolinian leaders were In
a humor now to contest the principle and
itself and have done with Vt.

A Suggestion From Conatantine.
i Kan Antonio Expresa.!
King Constantino of Greece sends to
America a message which is- cordial and
suggestive and altogether interesting.
"We are both neutral.'' says thn king
"and are together determined. If It bi hum-
anly possible not to court destruction by-
being drawn Into the frightful vortex of the
preaent European conflict. Both arc trying
by ery honorable means to guard our sov-
ereignty protect our own paopie and atari d
for our national interests without sacrific-
ing that neutrality which we recognise as
our own salvation."
Of course the king realizes that the Unit-
ed States is toó far away from the scene of
conflict to be in such Immediate danger as
confronts the Hellenic kingdom; but he
aaya: 'The battlefield has shifted and may
Bhift again; what is happening In Greece
may happen In America. Holland or any
other neutral country tomorrow if the pre-
cedent now sought to be established in the
case of Greece is once fixed."
There Is truly a note of a situation which
has only recently begun to dawn on the
general American understanding and as it
Is becoming better understood the move-
ment for preparedness for national defense
gains momentum and the folly of the ex-
treme pacifists who are opposing all saga-
clous measures of preparedness becomes
more apparent. With Great Britain holding
up our commerce on the high seas and re-
fusing to permit the shipment of merchan-
dise to America from neutral ports and
now requisitioning vessels flying the Ameri-
can flag because she needs them in her own
service American patience is being tried to
the straining point. With Germany ques-
tioning the right of thls'government to ask
for the recall of diplomatic agents or at-
taches who have rendered themselves per-
sona non grata and demanding to know
why we do not want them. In defiance of
diplomatic usage we may be permitted to
ask in the parlance of the street what do
these foreign governments take us for? Are
they presuming on our unpreparedness
and what else could it be? for lack of
vigorous resentment or effective protest?
If so the sooner they are given a suggestion
of the meaning of the American "might of
Justice" the better it may be.
As King Constantino suggests It is our de-
sire and purpose to maintain a ntrict neu-
trality and not to lie drawn into the fright-
ful vortex of the Kuropean war. if It be
humanly pnssthlo to keep out of it without
the sacrifice of honor and dignity. But If
the battlefield should shift In such a way as
to Involve this country because It dares to
assert Its sovereignty and is resolved to
maintain Its standards of right and Justice
what could we do about It while our weak-
ness for defense Is a by-word abroad and
a reproach at home if we show no disposi-
tion to get Into condition for any event-
utility? King Conatantine Intimates that if the
worst should come to the worst for his
country there would be nothing for Greece
to do but to lie down and let the' wheels of
war's chariot run over her. But that is not
the American spirit and Is not going to be.
To paraphrase a sometime popular senti-
ment: We do not want to fiflht.
But by jingo if we do. '
We've got the men. we'll get the ships.
And we've got the money too!
Facts to Think About.
(John A. Sleicher In Leslie's.)
Don't envy the man who Is more pros-
perous than you are. We all to some ex-
tent must live off of each other or else we
would lead a hermit life.
The man In business must make profit
from his customers or he must fall. The
employer must get some profit from "the
work of his employes or he must hang out
the red 'flag. The .workman must make a
living or beg or die.
No one can get .something for nothing.
Labor has Its price and deserves its reward.
So does capital. The partnership between
the two is most profitable when it is most
pleasant.
It takes two to make a quarrel. Diffi-
culties between the employer and employe
If both are sensible can always be adjust-
ed. Fair-minded arbitrators can always be
found but there must always be a spirit of
square dealing fair play and good fellow-
ship. A strike of a workman without warning
to his employer is aa bad as a workman's
discharge without warning to him The
employe should not do the one nor the
employer the other. The wisdom and jus-
tice of this policy are undisputed.
Every strike increases the cost of living.
Every act of violence during a strike adds
to th coat of living for it means the ex-
pense of courts of trials and prisons. Idle-
ness means poverty and poverty and crime
mean expense to the taxpayers and rent
payers.
The masses of the workingmen like the
masses of employers realise their depend-
ence on each other. They want to do right
and for the most part are doing right.
There would be few differences between
them but for the selfish intruder who
makes a living out of the disturbances he
creates who suffers nothing by the harm
he inflicts and who would go out of busi-
ness If arbitration had full sway.
These simple facts are worth thinking
about in this holiday seaaon of good wtshen
and happy thoughts.

What Do You Know About the
South?
(Agricultural Advertising.) '
We give liberally of space In this issue to
B survey of conditions in a section of the
country which too many of us know little
about.
"The Sunny South!"
..jr uia aaaraaaauua ui -no pnrase ana
we tingle when the band plays "Dixie" and
we aing "My Maryland". and "Old Kentuckv
Home" whenever a tenor a basso pro- -A
grnwlo and nn nmhlllnlla kanaa.t... .. v
gathered together and then we permit
ourselves to be content with about as limit-
ed a knowledge of the Blue Ridge. Blue
Grass Cumberland and Red River sections
as we have of the Peninsula of Skoog.
When we think of the south We think ot
aged darkles sitting ijj front of tumble-down
cabins dare-devil white trash defying In-
ternal revenue collectors and white-whiskered
colonels borrowing quarters for Juleps
and living on hatred for the government
that freed their slaves and trampled their
cotton.
That is about as close as most of us get
to the south when as a matter of' fact the
average advertiser ts not only doing his
business and Injustice in not learning about
the south but Is depriving himself of good
profits In not getting into the south. ft'
The south has wheat fields . and corn
fields and silos and automobiles and wind-
mills Just like the ones in Iowa and Indi-
ana. Its people have similar tastes similar
ambitions similar wants.
We have asked some of the editors and
publishers in the south to tell you about
conditions in their part of the country
They have selfish interests to serve of
course. So have the rest of us.
The Bouth is a good district in which to
sell goods and those who measure It today
by the standards of the reconstruction pe-
riod are blinding themselves to the advan-
tages of a sales territory that has excellent
-on. in. .- oa ill. iRiiii neii i ..sniioiiiiey.
- The Pennsylvania lines have an excellent
slogan "Get Better Acquainted With the
United States."
We call attention to that slogan in mak-
ing this presentation of conditions In an Im-
portant and sometimes neglected portion of
the United States the south.
It is the duty of every- advertising man
to know conditions in sections where he is
doing . business and it will often help to
know conditions in sections where he is not
doing business because investigation will
often uncover á promising field that has
been passed by.
"Get Better Acquainted With the South'"
That is the purpose of this symposium.
In subsequent Issues we Intend to treat oth-
er sections in a similar manner. Just nod
dled without prejudice without desire to
