The comments of Europe's leading newspapers on the result of our recent election dwell largely on its economic side, and show the important relation which the United States holds to the world's business activity and prosperity. Says the London Standard: "Europe Is now so much interested in the tommercial prosperity of the United Btates that anything conducing to that prosperity will be cordially welcomed here." The Berlin Tageblatt remarks that "the certainty that America will refuse to enter into any dangerous politico-economic experiments should terre to bring a conclusion of the economic crisis In America, and at the lame time give an upward impetus to business throughout the Old World." AJong similar lines are the expressions e most of the papers of Paris, Rome, Bt Petersburg, Brussels, Madrid and the other European capitals, while ToWo's leading journals comments are in a similar strain. These utterances show the importance which the Old "World placed in the election here, and likewise point out the large part which the United States plays in the social and Industrial affairs of the nations. So much Interest was felt In the result that many Berlin, Paris and Rome papers issued extra editions on the morning of November 4 telling the result of the election. No such widely extended interest in any American election was ever shown in Europe before, except in that of 1S96. It Is easy to see the reason for Europe's Interest in American condiaions. The money scarce here a year ago immediately registered itself all over the world. For a year or more before the closine dava of October trade had

been gradually slackening throughout!10 w3 umw .u JulU1, 1

Europe, but the flurry which set ln here twelve months ago registered Itself adversely at once on the other side of the Atlantic, and brought a halt ln many activities there. Hotels, clothiers for women and men, dealers In Jewelry and others in many sorts of business felt their income suddenly slacken through the diminution of their revenue from American sources. The diamond and Jewelry dealers were hit quickest and hardest, and many ot them went Into the hands of receivers. Nearly half of the diamonds purchased ln the world are bought by Americans. Th flurry here immediately cut down the purchases, and a steep drop la prices took place at once. The recovery ln the past few months registers the improvement ln the business outlook in the United States. The leading trade papers of Europe all have departments devoted to conditions in the United States, and the revival of financial confidence here which has been under way for several months and which will now take a marked form, has aroused much in, terest there. For this and other reasons much space was given in Europe's press to the developments in our recent campaign. Americans make and spend more money than the people of any two or three other countries combined. Although the population of the United States is only 5 per cent of that of the entire worid, it produces 20 per cent of the world's wheat, 25 per cent of the world's gold, 35 per cent of the world's coal, 35 per cent of Us manufactures in the aggregate, 38 per cent of Its silver, 40 per cent of Its pig iron, 42 per cent of its steel, 55 per cent of its petroleum, 55 per cent of its copper, 70 per cent of its cotton, and 80 per cent of its corn. At the rate of increase of the past dozen years the wealth of the United States in 1908 i3 about $120,000,000,000, which equals that of Great Britain and France combined, which are the second and the . third nations, respectively, on this roll. As the foreign trade of the Unit ed States amounts to over $3,000,000,000 a year, and as this, on our Import side, shrinks sharply in times of fin ancial trouble, the fluctatlons in business here naturally have a good deal of concern for the world. The newspapers of Europe which are giving a larger space to doings in the United States than they ever did before are meeting a popular demand In their own countries. Their people have a large Interest ln affairs in America.

Many of Europe's great newspapers have special correspondents In the United States all the year round. Some of them have two representatives. Two or three of Europe's magazines hare regular monthly letters from this country, devoted to political, social and industrial conditions. In the steadily enlarging field of America's activities this interest will continue to increase. Reciprocally, too,

our concern in the doings of all the the world was his. Nor did he conother countries must continue to fine his operations to France, or to

grow. The world no longer has any hermit nations. China is said to be i offended because we sent only a part of Admiral Sperry's squadron there on its world tour, instead of the whole of it. as we did to England's possessions in the Pacific and to Japan, Thus we see that the new prominence of the United States carries duties and responsibilities which demand a larger equipment among our officials than was necessary at a time within i 11 if 1. .,- I inn phhv i hi i i it't.i itju i l iuuDL ui vjui i people. A KNIGHT COURAGEOUS. In all this San Francisco graft scandle the most conspicuous figure is Francis Heney, who was shot un der the most dramatic circumstances while he was conducting the prosecu tion of Ruef. the notorious. In his relentless crusade against lawlessness iieney nas not connnea ms upemuuuo to the city of San Francisco. Although he is still a young man he has dis- K tinguished himself among his fellows tor his activities against tne crabbers and timber thieves, which subsequently led to his employment by Rudolph Spreckles to run to ground the rascals. The tale of Schmitz and Ruef is too well known to need comment. The significant thing about the whole affair is the great danger under which courageous prosecutors labor while discharging their duty. The time is no longer when the prosecutor is a young fellow who performs a perfnnctnrv round of ordinary affairs and 7, v 7 . if J iiui-kb iu 1C m y. "- must be a ngnter and as sucn is under constant peril for his life. This Heney was, "Heney the fighter," and today Heney lies at the point of death. There will be those, however, who will discover the other side of the shield. Who was the man who shot Heney? It was Morey Haas, the reJected talesman of the Ruef case,! whom the ever wary prosecutor show ed had at one time occupied a coni vict's cell and walked in lock step. It sounds almost like a melodrama doesn't it? The unmasking of Haas, has on the face of it, a pathetic look a man's whole life destroyed after his attempted reformation because by Every day tne press dispatcnes wasn up a case of a reformed convict. The fault of course was not with Heney, who was simply discharging his duties, nor yet with the misguided and probably insane Haas-but it lies hardest and heaviest on the public, which has an animal disposition to kick a man when he is down. If pub lic sentiment were more forgiving and forgetting toward fallen men and women this tragedy would not have happened. As for Heney here is hoping that he will get back into the ring again and continue his fight. In this age of barren romance it may seem absurd to liken Heney to the good and true knights of the age of chivalry, but such men as he are the modern counterparts of St George and the dragon. The younger generation of lawyers must realize that they are face to face with the problem of arraying them,M. A. .. ... or not. The role of corporation lawyer who gets his pay for picking flaws in the letter of a law in order that dishonest men may evade the spirit of the statute, is not so attractive but! far more lucrative tnan tne Heney style. Of course Bome one has to be a corporation lawyer and a man may a ..r,..eyaA p how many untarnished corporation lawyers are there? Some years ago a man named Delmas (later of the Thaw case) made a wonderful fight in a right cause with ho compensation, that started him on the road to fame. He now stands at the top of his profession. Not long ago another man who had been present at that first momentous trial in which Delmas won his spurs, wrote to Delmas and told him that his example had sent him Into the conflict against graft and lawlessness and that be owed it all to his example. A few days later came the answer, "I am much touched by your letter. It recalls to me the brightest page of my life. But you have written to the wrong man that man who won the ' ucau. And even though Heney die from the wound inflicted by the ex-convict that man will Uvo a Knleht Pnim ageous. VICTORIEN SARDOU. The death of Victorien Sardou, the greatest of contemporary French dramatists. Is the sixth death this year among the Forty Immortals of the French Academy. He has been described as the em-

bodiment of the stage. t He was born in the atmosphere of the stage, two actresses had to do with his success and his surroundings throughout his life were of the theatre. His enormous successes have led to the belief that he was only after temporal and contemporary fame and he got it, to the extent of a fortune, castles, decorations, popular acclaim, and the

doubtful honor of the Academy. All be more accurate, to Paris, only. He delighted Russian audience with plays which a blase gallic audience would have found too obvious. America did not escape. His "U Oncle Sam" was the product of his striving after international fame. Indeed all the countries of Europe have paid tribute to him. And now it seems that his was merely a temporary success. His plays were tinctured with the essence m . i i .LI.L . nr iimpiv anuroni ia.Leiiei w 1111:11 uiuai i soon maKe tnem oacn numoers. a problem play which deals with the time only and does not call for universal sympathy is built on to& flimsy a basis.

The public service corporations all waged war on him, the liq uor Interests, and the dive keepers. Why? Because he stood for law en forcement which would hurt their business. In speaking of his election the New York Post says: "Judge Lindsey must take this as a call to the higher and more difficult task of cleaning up Colorado politics. That task he began when he got the Denver school children to swear on flag day: 'I will Iot remaiQ lf j knQW of dlgnon. esty in public affairs. I will put forth every effort to have the ' guilty public official exposed and punished.' It now appears that he will not have to wait until the generation under his care shall have grown up.

Divinity of Universe Postulate of Science Editor of the Palladium: An apprecitive Indiana reader sends me a clipping containing a report of the action of the Y. W. C. A. in ex eluding Universalists and others from membership because of certain alleged vIews The charge was made that the Universalists do not believe in the divinity of ejsus. I would like to if anyone can furnish any state ment made by any Universalist, that Jesus was not divine? On the other hand we believe in the divinity of man and nature. If God created all then all is potentially or actually diI vine. Man's errors are onlv skin deep, and are the result of Ignorance. The essential divinity of the Universe is the postulate oi science ana pnnos ophy. Excluding good people from a religious movement is not wise. History shows that this method has always been a mistake. One of the divine precepts taught by Jesus is "Judge not." Is it wise to assert his divinity while we are disobeying him? J. W. CALDWELL.

ALL YOUTHS SHOULD GET AHJDUCATIOH Children Should Not Be Forced To Work, Say Ministers.

EDUCATION IS NECESSARY. BOYS AND GIRLS ARE TAUGHT TO WORK IN SCHOOLS AND EXPERIENCE GAINED HERE WILL BE GOOD IN AFTER LIFE. "Should a boy or girl at a nder age be forced to go out lnt the world and earn a living for a dependent famV" - This question was recently put to four well known local ministers, the Rev. E. G. Howard, the Rev. Samuel Traum, the ReV. R. J. Wa.de and the Rev. Joseph Beck. All admitted that it was a question which they had given but little consideration but said that the rule should be, "let every boy and girl finish his or her high school course before attempting to earn a living from the world." "When the boy or girl chould. begin to be a wage earner depends mostly on their surroundings and the kind of work," said the Rev. Mr. Howard "I do not believe that a child should work to the exclusion of its school should be taught to be idle. I began to earn a livine for mvself when onlv fv,irtMT, voar , aaa v.,, r aa gleet my education. ' If the only ablo bodied individual in a destitute famIly is a boy of twelve years of age, I do not think he should be forced to become a wage earner at the cost of his education. What remedy would suggest in such a case? Well, I admit I can not suggest one." Should Get Education. The Rev. Wade stated that children should not be forced to work until had completed their high school course- "They shouId nav that much factory employes or street workers Children should be taught to work in tne schools," he said "l have not Kiven the Question much Colo-'l ..r. f!: M'" school course before becoming workers." He offered no remedy for a case where a small boy would be expected to be the wage earner of a destitute family. "A boy or girl should not be thrown out into the world until they have completed their high school course, i but it is hard to fix an arbitrary rule when children should start to work. If the only able bodied person ln a destitute family is a boy of twelve years of age he should not be forced to support the family at the expense of his education. His future, in other words, should not he blighted," said the Rev. Mr. Traum. "Such a boy as I have described stands as much in need of an education as a boy in more fortunate circumstances. He should be permitted by all odds to at least complete his high school course and the family should be cared for by the state." SIDE-LIGHTS Was It Bryan?

, on Divorce in "Freak" Letters "Oh, yes, I get them quite often, pathetic Many others are equally lu-

: but I have not seen fit to, save any of them. They are not worth it," replied Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court when asked if he receives many freak" letters. It was not long ago that a Philadelphia judge fined a man for writing him a letter of thanks for favorable decision. Thi judge held such action was contempt of court. There is practically no probability of such extreme measures being resort ed to locally. . . The most of the letters received by the local courts are from women. This may seem strange, but it is a fact. And most of them are in regard to the subject of divorce. Judge Fox repeatedly has received letters asking how long it is necessary for a woman to reside in tho county in order to establish her residence, so as to make her claim valid in court. Other letters state tho alleged facts in contemplated divorce proceedings and the Judge is asked to say whether or not he deems these facts sufficient.

This tenet of the 6ect and the rea sons why this tenet was held were ex pounded by the Rev. F. M. Foster, pas tor of the Third Reformed Presbyterian church. The male portion of the audience represented an element in the roll of voters in the Seventh Assembly District, over which political leaders have shaken their heads and shrugged their shoulders men who simply would notj vote under any emblem. "We ask nobody's sympathy," said the pastor, "when we urgs that Christ is kinff. and that since the United States government will not recognize! the kingship, we are deprived of the' right of being citizens of the United aiaies. GIANT TREES FOUND. New Forest Located in California Is Valuable. San Francisco, Nov. 14. Some lumbermen searching for new timber worlds to conquer and to decimate, have discovered In Tulare county, California, a new grove of giant trees, numbering at least 15,000. The forest is at an altitude of 6,000 feet, and exceeds in area all other forests of big trees. The trees are said to rival in size, height and beauty, even the famous Mariposa grove. Peas and beans are the most nutritious of epp tables. They contain a very large amount of muscle forming food.

It i is safe to assert that these letters bear superficial evidence that they are the outpourings from broken hearts. Some women write to the court and ask advice. They recite stories of averred inhuman treatment and ask the court to tell If a divorce ought to be sought. Others ask the . court to call the offending husband before him and "talk it over," and see if he can not be induced to change his custom ary treatment toward his wife and family. In some instances the children write to the judge. They are keen observers of things domestic and realize the hard feelings existing be tween father and mother. They know they suffer the most by the estrangement and write to the court for aid. And what does the court do, may be asked. He consigns all letters to the scrap basket. He can do nothing more. RmI War. ' As the late Lord Wantage, V. C, K. C. B., was a soldier of experience and valor, bis description of a battle, taken from his letters from the Crimea and incorporated into Lady Wantage's biography, may be considered accurate. "A battle." he wrote. "Is the most exciting thing In the world, I thinkmuch more confusing than one usually Imagines, and. as for all the nonsense the newspapers write about unbroken lines and columns. It is all stuff. "Those who funk He down or get out of fire, and ln a charge lf you get ten or twelve men to follow you It Is as much as you can do. As for colonels or mounted officers, one never sees them or takes any notice if one does. In fact. It is just like boys snowballing one another at school."
