...Armament is called to accomplish and about the proper measure of its success or failure. This confusion is not entirely the public's fault. It is born of an underlying infirmity of purpose in the plans of the administration. The President during the campaign incurred a clear obligation to move in the direction of peace through international agreement, and for that purpose he was bound to summon a conference of the Allied and Associated Powers. But if his conference was to accomplish an immediate practical result, it must avoid the ugly and for the present irreconcilable dissensions which Europe...
...Department of Labor has made a wise move, if, as a recent Washington despatch announced, it has issued an order exempting from the provisions of the three per cent immigration law, students from foreign countries coming to the United States to study in American schools, colleges and universities.

Labor's "grand old man", however, has declined to give up without a struggle. His supporters have resurrected the well-worn charge of a "slush fund...
...current leads to wrongdoing or disaster. Corporate or co-operative selfishness is today a greater danger than personal selfishness, because it is more insidious, and wears the garb of something more noble than a mere personal aim. Although men are by nature gregarious creatures, they should not,--like sheep,--move under the simple impulse of the mass. Man has the ability to think for himself, to weigh reasons, to forecast in some degree the future, and to reflect upon the consequences of his acts. In times like these it is of vital import that his responsibility for his individual opinions...
