THE RETIREMENT OF JOHN BASSETT MOORE.
Mr. John Bassett Moore hart nerved the State Department twice be
fore he accepted appointment hh Its counsellor In the Wilson adminis
tration. but on each occasion for a specific purpose and only for a short
time Teaching I* his vocation, his life’s work; and that fact, so well
emphasised, would of itself confirm the explanation which he and the
president give of Ills retirement now. Rut there Is hotter confirms!ion
or It 111 the fact that It wa» expressly stated when he accepted appoint
meat as Counsellor to the State Department that he was to serve only
temporarily. The significant feature of his retirement Is that it should
take place at a moment when It can only emphasize his dissent from
the policies of the administration, and particularly its policy with re
spec! to the Mexican situation. The opponents of the administrations
Mexican policy will of course seize on his retirement as an event which
gives cogence to their criticism. It may give cogence to tliclr criticisms
hut adds nothing to the validity of these criticisms.
We read In the dispatch telling of Mr. Moore's resignation that,
shortly after the assumption of powers by Huerta, he supplied the pres
ident snd Mr Bryan with a weallhof precedents to justify a recognition
of the Huerta regime. There Is I nthat statement a full explanation,
not of Mr. Moore's resignation, but of the cause of his inability to con
cur In the policy of the administration. There Is perhaps no man In
this country more learned In International law and customs than Mr.
Moore. There are not many men Hi this country less learned in them
than Mr. Bryan, nor would the president himself profess much acquaint
an<s In this domain of knowledge. It is not strange, but. on the contra
ry, very natural that the association of a man who is saturated with
knowledge of the technicalities of International law and the precedents
governing international intercom > with men who know little about
them and care not much more should occasion differences of opinion
which every day accentuates. Mr. Moore Is essentially a technician, and
to become a technician lu any branch of learning is to come to have
more attachment to form than to substance, to the manner of doing a
thing than to the matter of the thing done To a man overtrained In
the technicalities of a science, it is a shocking solecism, an impiety to
verge from the co/iine which precedent surveys.
If there Is one thing which distinguishes this administration above
everything else It Is Its disregard of precedents in matters of Interna
tional policy On (he very day oi the president's Inauguration he made
a statement which gave a sharp deflection to what had been the nation s
policy with respect to l<attn Amertc an countries, and shortly after ha
made a decision selecting American Interests In China which showed that
he did not mean to he hound any more than was absolutely necessary by
what had been done before. It whs Inevitable that surh innovations as
these should give sore umbrage to a mind whose great learning had
put it In superstitious awe of precedents. Precedents counseled the' re
cognition of Huerta. Custom and the technicalities of international In
tercourse gave him a perfect claim to recognition Hut custom and the
technicalities of international Intercourse give lint scant consideration
to moral factors, being concerned only with the expediences, and when
the president not only gave consideration to the moral factor In Huerta s
case but allowed It to he the dominating consideration. Mr. Moore suf
fered all that cornea to one who witnesses a sacrilege done
to what lie reverences.
The mind of this administration and that of Mr. Moore are dlsplo
mattrail) Incompatible; their Ideals are at war. Hnd the president at
least might be censured for not having foreseen thst his purposes could
not win the allegiance of such a mind as Mr. Moore's. That he has re
tired now gives emphasis, snd perhaps an untimely emphasis, to the
fact that the |«>!!cy of the administration with respect to Mexico Is a
radical departure from custom and precedent; but the fact thut It con
stitute* a departure does not convict It of being unwise.

There la gnucra] agreement among

The Engineering News editorially.
In fact, much of It has been disap

It must be remembered that the
whole problem ia essentially an oeon
omtr one The wclgnts of cars and
locomotives have been .ateadlly In
creased because this increase has
meant a reduction In the cost of haul
ing a ton of freight over the road
We have reached the point, however,
where terminal expensea. and not
costs of road hauling, are the con
trolling figures in a large proportion
of our freight traffic; nml terminal
expenses arc Increased, rather than
lessened, where very long trains muat
be made up.
From present indications, even it
there should be a further increase ot
train weight, the locomotive capacity
necessary to handle them would be
obtained by stretching out the loco
motive Into a longer machine, making
a Mallet compound of three units in
stead of two for example and this
would not probably increase the losd
on bridges over that produced by
present rolling stock.

(By Bcatric# Fairfax.)

—William Walah,
"I am positive," ho wrllea. "that the
girl hue* me. hut 1 Juat cannot bring
myself to Ihc point to nak. Hhe knows
'that I love her, but aim stubbornly re
fuaea to make It Juat a little easier
for inn lo ask This troubles the, hut
I have a greater worry:
"Why la It that two people, who
really love each other, and who know
that they love each other—why, oh!
why will these two people do mean lit
tle- things to make each other feel hail?
Why <lo they affect love for othnra anil
an Indifference to each other? Why
will they lake a sort of savage delight
In being able to make each other feel
the most terrible mental anguish?
Why do they act this way?”
Why? I -cause they tire In love, and
love la a sort of sweet Insanity In
which Ita victims do such things and
say such things, that If the man were
to behave In a similar fashion In busi
ness he would have to retire to private
life In a week, and If a girl were to
treat her friends as she treats her
lover she would soon be hopelessly
friendless.
Love, like wine, goes to the head. At
a time when Its victims should he a*
cool headed as If their lives depended
on being well balanced, they know
neither sense, nor Judgment, nor cau
tion .nor sympathy, nor understanding.
They become almost vicious In trying
to torment those their hearts are cry
ing loudest for, a vlclouaneaa that haa
for Its only redeeming quality Its
greater desirability than Indifference.
It Is the last resistance before sur
render. Without the formality of rea
soning. every girl knows when she haa
confessed her love for a man she liaa
lost a certain degree of her power over
him The certainty la never as pow
erful as the uncertainty. When he 1*
not sure of her love, he la hers to tor
ment When he Is sure of it, It often
happens that he becomes the tormen
tor, and to the end of her days. If she
loves him, she must bear hla torment
ing with a sickening fear that he no
longer loves her, and with a determi
nation to keep that love If humility
and self-sacrifice will serve
Courtship is th« playtime of the
heart In which wounds are g ven
ruthlessly, every wound to be salved
and healed and forgotten when the
confession of love comes later.
The writer of this letter and his
sweetheart are having in loves tor

but It will take th* cold shower bath ot
matrimony to make them know It.
Thrift Is a Siqn of Good
Citizenship in a Nation
(Hlr T. Vanslttart Bowater, l/ord
Mavor of Ixindon. tn Answers.)
Thrift ts ai\ essential and Impera
tive part of Rood citizenship.
The man who sets aside a few
pence or shillings every week or
every month is not only making .u
--turo provision for himself, his chll
dren or others who may tie dependent
on him but. consciously or uncon
sciously, he Is at the same time serv
ing his country by helping to create
a type of character which is one o.
the most valuable of national assets.
He Is setting an example of self
command every time he fights down
the temptation to spend on soma
passing pleasure the money which
should he reserved for a more useful
purpose. And self command moans
much in good citizenship.
He Is sotting an example of self
help He does not wait for ''some
thing to torn up." but sets to work
resolutely to Improve his position tn
life by lils own exertion.
Ho ts setting an example of self
respect The saving of money hon
estly earned fosters that spirit of
sturdy Independence snd confidence
in one's own powers which have play
ed no small part in building up the
pr isperttv of this country.
In addition to the ethical value
which I have endeavored to Indicate,
the practice oT thrift by Individuals
has a material value to the nation.
The security of the Intricate fabric
of Rrltish credit depends to a v.*ry
large extent uron the reserve of capi
ta! accumulated by those who Invest

TO MAKE EMPLOYMENT
STEADY
(From the Chicago Tribune )
Employers of the country will to
the near future have to begin to reg
ulate llndr business so as to prevent
as much as possible a total stoppage
ot Industry at any one time, and
more especially during the winter
months
A number of industrial concerns in
the United States are already doing
so The International Harvester
Company Is one of these concerns.
The Ford Motor Company anotner.
The harvester concern ovaids total
stoppage of industry and wholesale
unemployment among its workers ey
extending its markets In foreign coun
tries Tlie Ford Company mans to
have Its slack seasoa fall In the sum
mer Instead of In the winter, figuring
that In the summer months a man
mat- easily find work In the harvest
fields to tide him over hla unemploy
ment period.
The next step In curbing unemploy
ment lies In effective municipal, state
and even national labor exchanges—
exchanges that will have the labor
market of the nation at their fingers
ends, ns it were, and will be able to
place the men thrown out of employ
ment In one Industry in a temporary
Job elsewhere.
INEFFICIENCY IS
DISHONESTY
(From the Milwaukee Journal.)
The first step in governmentaJ
economy Is to see (hat every em
ployee w-bethw be be a legislator, an
executive or a clerk under the civil
service, gives n day's work for a
day's pay. The next Is to see that
the work he does is necessary; that
he Is not duplicating work none bj
some other person, or piling up rec
ords to be printed and never used.
There is a deal of this kind of waste,
nnd it should be the next point of at
tack in seeking efficiency A busi
ness man who is not efficient de
creases his own profits, but a govern
ment thai »« ‘"“fficient is dishonest.

(By William F. Kirk.),
"I ace where Mister John l». Jlorke

said the Manicure Lad)'. "lie has told
them that to make a success of the
year 1914 they ought to go straight
ahead and make a succeaa, and make
those happy that depend oh them.
Wasn't that awful sweet Of him.
llenrge, to lell tho young men how to
he successful like him?"
"(lid John I>. was alwaya fond of
young men,” aald the ll<-ad llarber.
"I suppose one reason he llkea them
ao much Is because they are not old
and wlae enough to be Jealous or sus
picious of. They haven't had a chance
to got the brains nnd experience they
would need to glv* him a battle or
take any of hla money sway from him.
In other words, he likes young men
the same way a big heavyweight cham
pion might like a featherweight."
"He la too great und good a man to
Is- compared to a prlxcfighter,"wasld
the Manicure Lady. "If you had all
hla millions, George, 1 don't think you
would he worrying your head much
about how the young men of the coun
try were coming out. You would prob
ably have a big stable of race liorsea
and spend all your time betting on
them'."
"No I wouldn't," replied the Head
Barber, "I would do all I could to help
the poor of this country, whether they
were young or old. And while you
ar* talking about John 1). Rockefeller
and boosting him, I can't see where
that advice he gave to the young men
amounts to the paper that It w-aa
printed on. What did he tell them,
after all? He said to go straight and
to make a success. That Is Just tho
same as telling a high school pitcher
to go straight and get Matty's aktll and
his salary In I*l4. And he told the
boys to be honest with themselves and
with the people that they was deal
ing with. I wonder If he always kept
that advice hltnself. Maybe he did,
but 1 don't believe It."
"He wouldn't tell no lie, George."
aald the Manicure Lndy. *‘H« wouldn't
belong to a church if he told lies.”
"Maybe he didn't know that he was
lying,” said the Head Uarber. "In the
first place, khfdo, there Isn’t a man
In this world that has always been
honest with himself. You might find
a man here and there that was always
Ht all times honest with everybody he
rypr dealt with, hut f-ou will never
find a man who empay he was al
ways honest with himself. No, sir.”
Maybe not men," said the Manicure
I,ady, "but you cun find a lot of girls
that Is alwaya honest with them
selves."
"Yes, maybe," admttted the Head
Rarber. "I think that a woman is a
whole lot more likely to be honest
with herself than a man. For In
stance, a girl Is beautiful. She looks
in the glass and knows that she Is
beautiful, and all the rest of her life
she keeps telling herself that she is
beautiful, in that way, I suppose, you
can say that she is honest with her
self."
"We are honest with ourselves more
ways than that," declared the Mani
cure Lady. "Lots of times a man isn't
sure whether he rtwlly loves a friend
"or not. and sometimes when he dis
likes that friend he is afraid to tell
himself so. You bet a girl always
knows when she hasn't got any time
for another girl. That's what she docs
—she knows it.”
"Yes," said the Head Barber, “she
knows It, and everybody she knows
knows It."
MY AMBITION

To mount on eagle wings and soar

Beyond the palings of our common

Scorning the griefs and joys of
every day;

rest,
With tender humnn heart beats in my
breast.
And so beside my door I sit and sinh
My simple strains —now said, now
light and gay.
Happy in this or that but wake one
string,
Whose low. sweet echoes give me
back the lay.
Aud happier still, If girded by my
song,
Some strained and tempted soul stand
Tirm and strong.
I send my thought its kindred thought
to greet.
Out to the far frontier, through
crowded town
Friendship is precious, sympathy is
sweet;
So these he mine, I ask no laurel
crown.
Such niv ambition, which I tiore un
fold;
Slo it be granted, mine is wealth un

Too late I stayed—forgive the crime!

The ebblngs of his glass.
When all Its sands are diamond*

That dazxle as they pass;
O. who to sober measurement
Time's happy swiftness brings.
When birds of paradise have lent
Their plumage to his wings?
