"We Suffer From the Bad Citizenship of Good Men.'" Josiah Strong

Another Holiday There may be some question as to the future of our corn, or cattle, or baby crop, but there can be no question as to the future of our holiday crop. The United States congress is taking care that we suffer no shortage on that score. A while ago Mothers' Day, and McKinley's Day, and Peace Day, and other various and sundry days were inaugurated by the soverign people of the land. Then came Discovery Day, and now there has been introduced to the House a new bill to make Fathers' Day a legal occassion. By the time grandmother and grandfather and our good maiden aunts have been formally recognized, the popular hope that every day may become Sunday will be well on towards realization. But after all we haven't too many of them, at least, not yet. It seems that we are rather behind in the procession of the nations on this one score and don't unbend often enough. When our forefathers set up our institutions, hunting, fishing and similar games were the rule; very few spent their time in the rigid, military organization of the shop or factory which tightens up the tensions of life. Existence was more free and easy and there was little need for relaxation. But now things are different. We live fast and hard and need unbending now and then. Therefore welcome, Discoverer's Day. May it soon come that saloons, schools and banks will not be the only ones to enjoy it. And while we have Columbus in mind it will be a good thing to re-read Joaquin Miller's verses on the great explorer. Elbert Hubbard calls the poem "the greatest ever written by an American." Perhaps that's so; they're good, anyhow.

COLUMBUS Behind him lay the gray Azores Behind the Gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores; Before him only shoreless seas. The good mate said: "Now must we pray, For lo! the very stars are gone, Brave Admiral speak; what shall I say?" "Why, say: "Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day: My men grow ghastly, wan and weak." The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I L,ay, bravo Admiaral, say, If we sight naught but sens at dawn?" "Why, you shall say at break of day: 'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'" 'hey sailed and sailed, as winds might blow. Until at last the blanched mate said: "Why now not even God would know Should I and all my men fall dead. These very winds forget their way, For God from these dread seas is gone. Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and say " He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!" They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate: "This mad sea shows his teeth tonight. He curls his lip, he lies in wait, He lifts his teeth, as if to bite! Brave Admiral say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leapt like a leaping sword: "Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on! Then pale and worn he paced his deck. And peered through darkness. Ah, that night Of all dark nights! And then a speck A light! A light! . At last a light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled! It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world Its grandest lesson: "On! Sail on!"

could while away the tedious hours. For two beautiful gold badges $70 was adopted. Certain officers felt an itch for embossed stationery and held up the treasury for it. Others charged in bills for services never rendered while still other city dads forced small contractors to "split fees." By paying out a few thousand dollars Dayton is making a thorough overhauling of affairs and installing a stristly first-class expert administration. A few thousands will be spent; many thousands will be saved. And the one plea of the old machines in opposing the reconstruction was that commission government would be "too expensive and would raise the tax rate!" There is no need to adorn this tale with a moral or suggest who might profit by it.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS

Philadelphia Times. It is a scientific fact that when a certain brain cell is torn down by a certain process it is replaced by a brain cell that wants to be torn down by exactly the same process. That is what makes drunkards and other creatures of habit and appetite. Alcohol destroys certain brain cells. They are replaced by other brain cells which immediately clamor for alcohol. The more alcohol, the more brain cells destroyed and the more new ones clamoring for alcohol. That is why the more one drinks the more one wants to drink. That is why men in the throes of delirium beg for more whiskey. That is why some men have so many brain cells clamoring for alcohol that it would mean their death were it denied them. That is the why of any habit be it good or bad. In the process of the brain, like begets like. If you wish evil, you think evil. If you think evil the little cells that are broken down by the work are replaced by other cells, which insist that you think more evil just like the cells that clamor for more alcohol. Hence it is the man who guards his thoughts that never has to fear his actions. Hence the vital necessity of forming only such habits as are helpful, and of refusing to listen to the clamor of the little ' cells that want things that are harmful.

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." It is reflected in his face, in associates, in his language, in his actions, in his temperament. That is a fixed law of nature. The wolf has a brain that is cruel, cunning, deceitful. That is why it has a face that is sharp, thinlined, snarling, treacherous. The sheep is timid without any craft. It has a face and expression that reflects its brain. So it is with man. Hawthorne's story of "Ernest and the Great Stone Face" is scientifically accurate. Ernest daily meditated upon the beauty and strength, manly purity, kindness and geniality of the Great Stone Face. He sat and studied it, and wondered when the man wjio was to be its living image would visit the valley. He wished for the day and the man. The wish and the daily contemplation of the Great Stone Face gave birth to certain thoughts in the brain of Ernest. These thoughts were of beauty, strength, manly purity, kindness and geniality. These thoughts begot similar thoughts. The thoughts finally became habitual and were father to actions in harmony with them. The years passed by and lo! Ernest himself was the living image of the Great Stone Face! What is your potentiolity today? With what thoughts

are you wearing that groove in your brain? What will j

your brain subconsciously command you to do in an emergency commit murder, or save a life? Uplift some one with a kind word, or debase some one by your actions? Accept responsibility and master it if it

comes your way, or let it crush you? I What appetites, habits, ideals and aspirations are your brain cells creating today? Are you potentially a I success or a failure? j

THE HOME RUN

The Cost of Incompetency Municipal grafters on the heroic scale of Tammany bosses will filch millions from the city treasury. Bold, brave stealing is the hall-mark of the Jesse James type of city politician. But the incompetent administrator of city affairs is known by careless use of public funds. He permits little leaks here and there and runs a city's business in the style of a backwoods store-keeper. A dollar here and another there slip needlessly from his fingers with an aggregate of thousands lost. Little leaks will sink a big ship. State accountants in connection with a local bureau of research have unearthed in Dayton losses to the amount of $18,414.95. This sum would pay the wages of 300 men working at $2.00 a day for one year. And yet this big sum represents not malfeasence but incompetence, end lack of ordinary business knowledge. With the clumsy old federal plan at work in so large a town politics drifted into the hands of a couple of machines and faithful henchmen received the jobs. It was learned that $100 had been paid out for Sunday newspapers wherewith mayor, solicitor, safety directors and election board members

Chicago Tribune. j To ten million Americans the most important fact j Tuesday outside their private and immediate concerns, ! such as if they had slept and digested well, if the breadj winning process had been satisfactory and family life

harmonious, was this: John Fianklin Baker made another home run and won another world series game with it. The imagination carries Baker to his home in Trappe, Md., this winter. The glory of it around the stove and cracker box, if those ancient properties still exist in Trappe. But perhaps it will be the vaudeville circuit and more dollars. Emerson said, or is said to have said, "If you but build a mouse trap better than any other, tho' you live in a wilderness, the world will wear a path to your door." So, Tuesday was Baker's. Home runs are more than mouse traps in one way, and less in another. They don't clean house, but they do put a splash of color into many lives that are monotonously gray. Several years ago, on the 4th of July, when Johnson whipped Jeffries, the writer was driving at sunset through one of the richest farming countries in the world. A pall seemed to have fallen over it as of some terrific universal grief. The people seemed cast into a nadir of woe. Many even gulped and choked before they could speak of the result of the prize fight to a casual stranger. It is as futile to bewail such enthusiasms and despairs as to bewail ambitions for an eighty-nine at golf, soft beds, limousine cars and the latest fashions in dress. That, as Arnold Bennett said, is what life is. At least what an amazingly large part of it is for most of us. Congratulations to J. Franklin Baker. He was at the top of our heap or, if you prefer of his heap, and a very large one it is, too for a day. From a game to a game. Let him lose the next game by a baseball stupidity and he will pass from Austerlitz to perhaps not all the day to St. Helena, but at least to Elba in jig time. But he must have had an intensely vivid moment when his whole braced and eager soul went out to meet that ball and met it, and he saw its long arch into the bleachers while 40,000 clamored.
