The crowd on the deck of the thronged* excursion ship rushes en thusiastically to the rail to-watch the vessel passing to starboard. The ship lists again and the crowd fights its way back from danger. And so forth, to eternity. We are forever rushing to starboard o'- lar board for a better view' of the pas; ing show and as constantly our ex cesses are rocking the boat. Before tne war,we were the most extravagant people on the face of the earth. We all crowded to the rail'lo see the show-. Then came the war and the ship began to list. The crying need was to save—to save every dollar, every pound of sugar, every loaf of bread. Pulpit, plat form and press combined to preach the necessity. We saved. Had we continued to hoard our resources at 1 ter peace same with the same hold their state convention at Provi dence today to select delegates to the national convention.

At a special election in Detroit, today the voters are to he given op- portunlty to accept or reject the $15,000,(100 municipal ownership street railway plan, which has been approved by the city council.

But we gave the craft no chance to list. As soon as we had peace all •vfcshed again to the opposite rail wildly enthusiastic to see the more entertaining sights. As a people foi a year we have been spending with an abandon never quite approximat ed. It is no wonder that many s warning voice is heard calling the nation from danger. . It is because of the inclination of people to go to extremes that lead era of public thought usually talk in extremes. By radical counsel they ehek to balance extreme actions and tendencies and strike a happy mean. So it happens that very little of the advice given is applicable to every tone. Thus, while most people today need to bo urged to save, there are some rwho are now saving to the limit of ability and beyond the limit dictated by wisdom. They need to be urged to spend wore. , A preacher might appear before two congregations in the same day, oue a deeply pious audience and the other a worldly, thoughtless group. } He might tell the first that the er/oatest need Is for men to spend less time with their Bibles and more time with their v fellowmen. He might tell the second that the great est need is for men to spend more time w-ith their Bibles and leas time In teaming the ways of their fel lows. And in both cases he would be hoVisis^ent. The truth would probably be that the need is for all men to attend equally to the spiritual and the ma terial. Yet ho might feel that such (Pfeachraerl would fail to reach the mark with either congregation. It is worth while occasionally to take stock of one’s self. It serves he same purpose as applying the brakes to an nutomobile when ap proaching a curve. We will usually find that we are running to ex tremes. The antofst never knows how fast be is going until he is called upon to stop suddenly. Of course, It is not nearly so ex citing to remain in the cabin as it is to join in the rand rush to the rail—< but it’s a lot safer. Joseph C. Grew of Boston, who lias been appointed United States Minister to Denmark, is one of a not too large number of his countrymen who may be hektd upon as a diplo matist by profession ana training. For, after graduation from Harvard University, in 1902, and a period o£ extensive travel in Europe and in Asia, he entered the American con sulate at Cairo as a clerk, and, after two years’ service, was transferred to the United States embassy in Mex j-’O City, passing from there to Pe : trOgrad, and frofli then on the Berlin where, from 1908 to 1911, he had secretarial duties. Then he waq sec retary of the embassy in Vienna, in 1912 he returned to Berlin as first secretly of embassy and was station ed there when the war caused the severance of diplomatic relations. With the close of tbe war his abili-, ties were given further official recog nition in his appointment as secre tary of the American Peace Mission.

And yet Bergdoll is “wanted;”want ed for just , one purpose,-and that is to. complete his term in prison and live thereafter a life of obloquy—a breathing reminder of the hard but just fate that America bequeaths to traitors. The crime for which Berg doll -was trier] is punishable by death. But Bergdoll will live, and the longer he lives the longer will be the lesson an <ithe stronger the warning to those cravens who in future would emulate liis example. By such lessons are nations cleansed and made heart- whole. And lest we focus too intently our vision on Grover Cleveland Bergdoll the reminder may be timely that he stood not alone. There are, In fact, by official government count, 172,911 others besides him who have been filling their lungs with the free air’ tbry refused to help keep free, and now that the hour of retribution ap proaches, are invoking the protection of the. fireside institutions their lack of manhood sent others to d*?fend. Those supplications, pathetic as they are, must lie in vain. The Berg doll finding is an Impressive begin ning. But it is a beginning only.
