rious Forgers. Biblical scholars are familiar with the peculiar old Jewish practice called pious forgery. At that day when literary ethics were undeveloped, to sign the name of a famous personage to one's own production was considered not off color at all. The best and wisest did it and made no bones about it. It is pretty generally believed that Moses's name was signed to the Pentateuch by some admirer hundreds of years after the great legislator had passed on ; that Solomon was given credit for Ecclesiastes and Canticles, two books never seen by him, probably ; that Paul's name was affixed to the Epistle to the Hebrews by another. In these cases it is supposed the real authors accepted this as a means of "cashing in" the reputation of a- more famous writer, or, it more probably may be, used so questionable a method for raising a monument to an admired hero. And now we learn to our surprise that James Whitcomb Riley, our own beloved Jim, began his literary career as a pious forger. He penned a very romantic and melancholy poem and palmed 3c off as the work of Edgar Allen Poe. To his surprise and mortification too we imagine, the thing "took," was copied and recopied and hailed by the wise ones as a big literary "find." But Jim couldn't long endure the promulgation of the fraud, so he owned up and claimed the piece. But that simply shifted the attention from the lost treasure to himself and lifted him at a bound into the limelight and made a famous personage of him. How long will it be, we wonder, before some budding genius is palming off something on us "which was written by Jim Riley, the Hoosier laureate ?"

Pooled Experiences The best things in city life as individual are intangible assets not to be bought or sold. A community is a living unit just as a single person is and has its birth time, its growth period, and its maturity. In the course of this development

11 passes inrougn various expenwitcs, ovine vising and some enjoyable. For centuries individuals have known that contact with other individuals is one of the surest sources of self enrichment. One could use another, so to speak, as a means whereby one could live a larger and completer life. Gregariousness began doubtless in mutual protection; it grew into mutual sharing of life's experiences and wisdom. When we freely pass on our own finds in this mysterious business of living we enable another to grow richer because of our life. The instinct to pass it on is as deep as our nature itself. But it has been a recent discovery that cities may pool their experience and so save each other jmany needless bumps and much unnecessary suffering. Cities can't go after each other's experiences so they are arranging whereby the experience can be bottled up and passed about. This is one of the things of largest significance in the modern movement of municipal research. In scores of cities across the land, research bureaus have been organized. These gather the city's past experience into convenient formulas, plans and charts and then pass it on to others. Galveston had a bad time of it for a year or two after the flood. She came out on top through her commission government. So good a thing could not be kept. She began to pass it around, - As a result hundreds of cities over the country are profiting by Galveston's trying ex

perience. gome day city administration will be a separate and recognized profession, claiming the best equipped individuals of the community. Men will be sent about from town to town to gather up the wisdom and knowledge gathered through the years of that town's life in order to bring back to his own town. It will be a kind of sublimated piracy of a desirable type. And cities will come to know that it pays to cash in the sense learned by other communities through the hard knocks their blunders have brought to them. The Ownership of Wisdom The stewardship of wealth, that great doctrine of Christianity, is steadily getting itself recognized these days as a real social force and efficient community principle. Society in growing conscious of itself is coming to see more and more clearly that wealth is a community product. New York lease-holders have adopted as a method for determining the rental value of a property

the number of persons who walk past it in a given period. They recognize that the more community there is the more wealth there is. And since the community is the controlling factor in wealth production it logically follows that the community should have the control. Public service commissions reveal to us how far this doctrine of public control has gone. There is no such thing any more as a privately controlled industry or factory. The owner of wealth is the public's trustee in the administration of that wealth. It is not a matter of ownership, but of stewardship. But why shouldn't this be as true of knowledge accumulated as of wealth saved? Is not knowledge as much a social product as any other form of wealth? We met a man a few months ago who had graduated from one of the greatest universities in the world, had taken three years in a special school, and was proficient in a number of branches. That man's education had cost his community many thousands of dollars. What was he doing with it? He had hoarded it up in his head when we met him, and was tramping his way south. An education that had cost the world thousands was growing stale in one man's head. Why shouldn't a man feel that he is the steward of his wisdom and education just as much as of money? Why shouldn't a business man, schooled in efficient management and scientific industry, feel as much called on the devote that asset to community betterment as these good folks who give us libraries and parks? And when will the time come when we will tack on to our school system the principle that a man is not educated until he learns how to return to the community in service the equivalent of the value of the schooling which the community has given him?

JOYOUS GOSPEL FROM HELEN KELLER

FROM EDWIN MARKHAM Helen Keller, in many ways the most wonderful woman of the age, has just published a book, "Out of the Dark," through the Doubleday-Page Company. In spite of both deafness and blindness, she has conquered the knowledge of the world, and writes like a fervent prophetess of many of our anxious problems. Here are some timely words of wisdom for the myriads of young people who are just returning to their work in the schools: "In college you will be brought face to face with nearly all the fundamental questions of life, and you will learn how many men have tried to solve them. Hitch your wagon to a happy star, and you also shall help to solve them. The world needs your intellect, your scholarship, but most of all your hearts hearts that are loving, brave, hopeful, happy. "Does all this dream of high privilege and noble service seem far beyond the reach of your powers of mind? Remember what Senator Hoar said: 'Much of the good work of the world has been that of dull people who have done their best.' "Fears and regrets have no place in the vocabulary of youth, whose spirit sets its white and shining wings toward the purple shores of the promised land. Be happy, talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours. Rebel against the hardness and injustice of things as much as you like. It is always well to keep your fighting edge keen to smite wrongs wherever you meet them. But never doubt the permanence and excellence of what is yet to be. "The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Work without joy shall be as nothing. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an Invincible host against difficulties.

THE HOLOCAUST

BY PERCY SHAW The Binghamton Coroner censures the State authorities and the Binghamton Clothing Company for the fire on July 22,' which cost thirty-one lives, but finds no reason to hold any individual criminally responsible. Greed is a Juggernaut say what you will Insatiate, menacing, terrible still, With victims by thousands in sweatshop and mill. Suttee made the world hide its head in its shame; Yet we revel in Suttee, changed as to name But worse in the worship, in spirit the same. We ride to our work and we see the poor go Dull-eyed and cough-ridden, ill nourished and slow And we pass the sight off with: "Sorry it'6 so." Mr. X owns a mill, he lives on our street; His wife's a delightful companion to meet, His children ah, yes what we call the elite! Mr. X is up early, breakfasts at eight; He sticks to the factory early and late, In a battle of dollars, prices and freight. The inspector comes 'round and takes a cigar "Well, I guess you5re no worse than the other chaps are And a century spot might raise you to par." Mr. X motors home; his Fanny has found A broken-winged robin floundering round, And her heart is in anguish over the wound. It's queer Mr. X is affected by this; It's queer when she lifts baby lips for a kiss He feels a strange thrill of devotional bliss. Mr. X sees his women pass the mill door, Old men by the dozens, young girls by the score; He counts them as dollars to add to his store. Mr. X goes to church and prays on his knees, "Lord make us merciful" sits at his ease And drops a new bill in the plate, if you please. Then the Juggernaut rumbles; "Suttee" mutters Death; The holocaust licks through the mill with hot breath: "I warned him," the garrulous fire warden saith. It is over and done, yet more shops will burn; We never can know where the next bolt will turn But Oh! how long must it be till we learn!

Heart to Heart Talks Br CHARLES N. LUR.IE

JhOW MUCH DO YOU PAY 7 When tba government collects $344,424,453 one year as the revenue derived from the sale of intoxicating liquors, tobacco and playing cards, is everything -well with America? The government needs money for the necessary expenses of government. The internal revenue tax helps to support the government. But it may be said that in the end the millions collected by the government from such sources cost the people many, many millions more than they bring in. How much do you pay? Of course you know that every time you take a drink of liquor, smoke a cigar or a cigarette or break the seal of a deck of playing cards you help to bring up the enormous Internal revenue total. Perhaps, you say, in doing so: "I am a patriotic citizen. I am helping to support the government." False reasoning. You are helping to break down the government, not build it up, for unless the teachings of history are untrue the nation in which the vices grow cannot last. No nation can be greater or stronger than the aggregate greatness and strength of its Individual citizens. If you weaken yourself by excessive drinking of intoxicants, by too much smoking, by losing your hours bending over the gambling table, you are not an asset, but a liability. There are too many such in America and elsewhere. Work makes a nation great, not luxury or vices. You remember the old quotation, no doubt: III fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. That hits the idea squarely in the bullseye. Wealth accumulates, perhaps in huge heaps. It buys for one generation luxuries undreamed of by its predecessor. But they have to be paid for. The price is not the gold spent for them. It is the toil of the masses which creates all wealth. If the hundreds of millions of internal revenue were contributed only by the members of the "upper classes," who are relatively few in number, there would be less cause for alarm. But it comes largely from the pockets of the workers.

explains how naturally Mr. Cohan has drawn the characters in his new play. There is a genuineness about this piece of stage writing that stamps it with sure success from the moment the curtain rises on the first act, and the fact that the progress of the play is accompanied by a moral lesson that is conveyed in an atmosphere of almost constant laughter furnishes an appeal that is irresistible and altogether satisfying.

Gennett. The exhibition given at the Gennett yesterdav vby Miss Colorado Grant's dog and pony circus was well received by three fair sized audiences.
