FRIDAY AUGUSr 12, 1921. AN INDIAN'S WISDOM. Tolerant kindliness is the Ideal for which men have striven throughout the Christian era, backsliding a,'aln and ajraln, but never denying the truth of the golden, rule. To those -who drove the Indians from their plains and valleys the sentiment attributed to Chief Mennlnock should le forever an example of that pivceirt. Said the tribesman, at a reeeut gathering on the Yakima river, in an address fo his white neighbors: "Now, sit side by side and shake hands and be brothers and .sisters as long as the -sun stands. The t great inakvr made us one.; so let's be kind to one another." The general nplication of this advice-, needless to point out, would forever dispense with warlike gear, military taxation and wars. The nations would share the world as neighbors, and boundary lines possess tlu? merest bit of political significance, says Portland Oregonian. We' are unlit as yet, for Chief Menninock's philosophy of life. In llMKI a' now era was opened in naval construction with the completion of II. M. Dreadnought. From that time on -4 lie race for naval armaments took ai fresh spurt; tlie armor barons began to be very busy, and the taxpayers began to look glum. If this was the first act !n the drama, the last act may be 'said to have opened when' the IJritish ' fleet mobilized in July, 11)14,, and the curtain to have fallen when the Herman ensign was nauieu down, m 4ihe l inn ot Forth one evening In November, 1Ü1S. Iiut surely the epilogue has just been played, remarks Christian Science Monitor, with the selling of II. M. S. Dreadnought by the IJritish Admiralty, to a firm of ship breakers at a knockdown price." . Despite the drift away from the farms, there has leen no decrease the farming population, says "World's Work.' There are as nun., farmers in the United States as there ever were more than ever in fact. It is only Uje proportion of farmers to the other parts )Jf the population that has shrunk, ami this phenomenon, whether it be good or bad, is the" inevitable resuft of the "improved "laborsaving methods and appliances by which the modern American farmer works as well as the attraction of the high wages of organized Industry. A startling realization of the perils of the streets is afforded by the statistics of traffic casualties presented by William Phelps F.nn at the conference on highway regulations held at Yale university. While during the 10 months the United States was in the war "IS.CHH) men were killed in battle or died of w ounds, ; In the same period, according to Mr. Kno, 111.tM.it persons were killed on the highways of the United States, ami of these 15,(MX were children. Some one has been .figuring out that whereas in 1114 we ,ln this country fonsumed 50 cents worth of sweets yer capita, In 1911) each of us ate ol.So worth. But It "Is not all increased quantity; there is alo Increased price to be conslde'rt'd If one is to draw on elusions. ! In the light of the pronunciamento of a Chicago school authority that "It Is me" is permissible because "It is 1" Is too much trouble, we may consider thoughtfully the Divine sentence: "It is nie; be not afraid." The attorney general says: "There is pome trouble somewhere when a lamb Rdls for 7o cents on the plaip and a lamb chop soils for PO cents on the table." There's intellectual ratiocination for you I Flume, having subsided as a storm enter, Silesia is taking Its place in the limelight, nnd is doing its best to keep things from getting too monotonous In the world's news. An overseas man In Ohio used a gas mask and captured a polecat. A mask that can penetrate the barrage that a polecat lays down ought to be spelled with capitals. A statistician has found that the average housewife walks two miles a day in preparing three meals. Couldn't the stove be built a half-mile closer to the table?
OVERWORK IS SELDOM FATAL. Dean West's statement to the Princeton students that in the Jat -10 years there has Wen only one recorded case of a student f the university dying of oenvork Is perhaps , not so striking as it sounds. Hard mental work Is as healthful an occupation as my in which a man can engage, hcthrr in college or in afterlife. The y rouble Is to dissociate it from worry, "t i anxiety over the outcome of their vaminations, not the mental effort of dudy, which "breaks down .school chilIron In too many Instances. It Is lonbtful indeed if there is a better eeipe for good physical health than ard study arduously pursued and in .onditions free from worry. Iiut will hero not be considerable dissent fnn the dean's rcaetiot:nrv recommenda(ion of "mathematics and the classics, history, philosophy, modern literature and the elements of political economy" as the bet subjects of study to produce "a finely 'educated man?" This is the curriculum of the old-time American college, unimproved and untnodernized by the addition of a hundred and one courses in special and utilitarian knowledge, of what possible use is hard study of the classics in this day and generation? How far would it prepare a student for answering Kdison's questlonnaiie?
How to pick a wife and how not to pick a luisband aie the subject of two pieces of recent advice, both from Chicago, says the St. Louis (Hobo Democrat. Don't let some tailor act as fate in determining who your husband shall be; that is, don't select him because of the cut of his clothes, says Judge H. A. Lewis of that town. Make sure a woman has common sense befor marrying her, says Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulioch, a Chicago woman lawyer. Unions that would' violate both warnings are easily possible. A woman who would marry a man because of the- ait of ids clothes alone ivould get a disappointing husband, if the judgr's view is correct, but as a wife who had thus picked a husband would be sadly lacking in common sense, who would get the worst of the bargain? Aje:.-:? nt !y it would be about an even thing. There is point and pith In these observations bv the Seattle Po-a-Intolli-gencer: "An abundance of the best food is produced every year, and a beneficent government ought to devise ome plan of distribution so that onions will not be destroyed because there is a surplus in one section while there is a shortage of them elsewhere, it is felonious inetliciency to pile good :ult to rot by the roadside, and thus juite Industry with loss. The Kgyp,.us thousands of ybars ago appear to have done better." A communication queries: "If a citizen of the United States deserted in the World war, but went to Canada and enlisted to serve in France, what would happen to .him?" Well, for one Thing, experience has demonstrated that he would be lucky if he escaped cooties. Nothing makes Mr. Citizen any inadler than to go to market and buy four pounds of apples for 'JÖ cents, and :hen find that at the adjoining stand ihe same apples are being sold at tinrate of five pounds for a quarter. Surgeons have grafted ears on a ittle boy baby who was born without them. It wouldn't have been necesary if the child had been a girl, as t seems to be regarded disgraceful for a girl to have ears. IVople who are strong for prohibitng things might start a movement to prohibit the ue of canoes by all persons who cannot pass an examination .n plain and fancy swimming. The woman who conipIaine.fl the ther day that she couldn't go on the street without blushing is the exception. Many of them can't go there vithout making others blush. Mexico has just deported two pernicious Americans." Considering vhat Uncle Sam does to undesirable aliens there can be no complaint from .his side of the Kio (Jrande. China's famous Grand canal, built ,u -ts'. lt. C. is to be rebuilt by Amercan engineers. It is inspiring to think that ninybe they'll make w more pernanent one.

MEWPPIifJOl hW Doctor Grenfcl!, "Ar.gel of Labrador," Issues Appeal for Rctiefof Fisherfo!!;. DREAD APPROACH OF WHITER Hunger and Companion Miseries of Poverty Are Acute Because the Fishermen Have Been Unable to Sell Product of Labor. New York. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, "angel of Labrador," has joined forces with William Willard Howard, s;nd the Christian Work of New York, in the campaign to relieve destitution in Newfoundland by providing a market for the codfish upon which thousands in that country depend for livelihood. Hunger and companion miseries of poverty are acute in Newfoundland because the fishermen have been unable to sell the product of their labor. Dr. drenfell cane to New York a few days ago from Labrador whither he had gone after a conference here with Mr.. Howard, director of t!ie Newfoundland relief work, and Dr. Frederick Lynch, treasurer of the fund. Fiiherfolk on Verge of Famine. Dr. (Jrenfell reported finding deplorable conditions among the families of the fishermen, and the industry of the country In a truly sad state. He says: "I have just received a message from Mr. Kd Grant of Illauc Sablon, Labrador, asking if I can help there, as givat destitution prevails.' I am afraid that It will be very serious by winter. I sent him a couple of hundred dollars to fit out some few fishermen. "At Twilhngate only one-half of the normal number of fishermen are being fitted out. The savings are being drawn steadily from most of the banks, both in the outports and in St. Johns. I have that on the evidence of tlit bankers. We are starting the new hospital building at Twillingate. That is a help." Doctor Greil fell is planning to tour t!i rough Newfoundland on his relief mission. Mr. Howard, discussing the discouraging reports from Labrador, commented : "Twillingate is the largest and most prosperous place in Newfoundland outside of St. Johns. If Twillingate can fit out only half her fishermen for the season's fishing, it is a black outlook for the rest of the island. JJlanc Sablon is an important fishing port at the entrance to the straits of Helle Me. Foresees Severe Winter. "If 'destitution prevails there now, I hesitate to think what Doctor Grcnfell will lind as he goes north. "Much of the destitution could be relieved if one of my ships could leave foi the Labrador coast now tilled to the deck beams with Hour, vegetables, molasses and fishery salt. A dollar of help now would be worth slU in next winter's inevitable famine. "Soon the suffering people are hemmed in by ice." , The committee is now engaged in a program of relief which will aid the starving Newfoundlanders and at the same time provide food for families made homeless and suffering in this country on account of the Colorado flood. It is offering the fih for sale for S10 for a loo-pmunl box. and purchasers who do n.d want fish for their own iw may direct that It be sent to the Colorado refugees. Tims food will go to hungry Americans and the money which pays for it will go to the Newfoundland ti-hermeti.
