FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1919 Sentimentality In Government There is no very good place for sentimentality, principally because it lacks anything to encourage belief in the sincerity of those who indulge in it. About the worst place for this misapplication of emotion and affec- tation is in the officials of the gov- ernment of a country that is dealing with other people who are not so in- " dulging themselves. No one can consider all that has been said and done in the matter of Articles | of the voting public to go home to can come only through pressure from try out the sentiment of their constituents. A measure of patience is necessary and an honest desire of the author- ities to solve the riddle of finding the end of the circle that has been de- scribed by the policy that has pre- vailed of passing on the increase in cost of everything, adding a little by way of good measure in each step of the progress of all materials from the hand of the producer to the hand of the consumer. Given these two virtues on the part of the whole peo- ple the tanled that we woven will be readily resolved. Lack- ing the desire to co-operate on the part of the producer, the distributor, web have land all who are needlessly contribut- the adjustment of the relations of | America with the countries that were associated with us in seeing that a lot of the talk has arisen out of a sentimental notion of our position. We have talked ideal- ism and unselfishness until we are a little intoxicated with the sound of our own sweet words and have come to think that we are a nation set apart, destined to reform mankind. The American was wont to be a war without person of sound common sense, prac- | tical and using good judgment. We seldom donned our rose-tinted spec- tacles, never except when we wished to deceive ourselves a little, knowing all the time just what we were doing. But we are in danger or losing those qualifications that brought to be one of the great powers of the have us world, that have made America stand | for honesty, achievement and gressiveness all over the world. There are times and occasions for sentiment, even pro- | sentimenttality, but | when the nation is seeking a way to | durable and just peace, when we are trying to establish our relations with | a world that we cannot know very well, trying to look into the future and to guess the secrets there hid, is not one of the times. We need to employ every bit of sound common | sense, to speak in the clearest pos- sible terms, to tell the truth to our- selves, to each other and to the rest of the world. It is folly to look to high-sounding phrases for guidance, wicked to refuse to recognize the truth and to tell it. Getting Down To Business There is satisfaction in the fact that the recess which Congress voted for itself has been foregone in order that important legislation may be taken care of. Whatever suggests that the members of the federal law- making body are going to devote themselves to the solution of those difficult questions that are besetting the country is encouraging.It presents a possibility that there will be found relief from the hard conditions under which the great mass of the people | of all the world have lived during the war and since the coming of that measure of peace that now exists. A further ray of promise that something is to be done is beginning to appear with the decision of the government to dispose of the food supplies that have been left in the stores of the war department. This lends weight to the evident intention of the president and Congress to ad- mit that there must be found a way through the economic conditions that exist, in the willingness of Congress to stick at the job of providing for | the readjustment that we must have, despite the intensity of the heat in Washington and the natural desire of | men whose interests lie in the hands 84 ing the to general distress, there must be compulsion, and compulsion PAINTS Of all kinds in large and small cans WALL PAPERS, PAINTING & DECORATING Floor Finishing a Specialty RASMESEN'S PAINT STORE FREE PAINT INFORMATION FREE the government.
