At the Throttle of the World Now that the walls separating nation from nation and people from people have grown thin and transparent, communications established between nations far and near so that events in Africa today are made known in America tomorrow, and the shuttles of trade and travel have woven all tribes and nations into a great international organism, it is necessary to judge questions of public policy in the perspective of the world and in the light of planetary interests and conditions. Statesmanship must hold itself accountable to the generations to come and politics must bring before the bar of its judgment the peoples without as well as within its territories. In nothing is a world perspective more essential than in dealing with the problem of disarmament. "Let us all lay down our weapons," cry the pacifists, and every day adds a thousand new voices to their clamor for peace. They point out the appalling extravagance of navies and armies, the burdens imposed upon the poor, taxes laid across the shoulders of labor, the drain upon capital, the human energies diverted to unfruitful fields, and the friction and hatred engendered between nations. Every sound minded person capable of confronting a question unbefogged by prejudice and undarkened by ignorance must second the Btrenuous efforts everywhere being made to free men from the "great illusion" and turn them from the battle to the harvest field. Armies are now organized either to protect the interests of money monopolists in foreign lands or to maintain the balance of power in Europe. For neither of these purposes has any nation the moral right to fasten upon its citizenship the heavy burdens of arms. Not one just voice can be lifted in the defense of armaments for such a use. Still, to say that SUCH armament is unnecessary and unjust is quite different from saying that the nations should disarm. There is one other function for armies and navies at this juncture of world history and that is the guardianship of civilization and democracy. A slight knowledge of the drift of affairs on this planet will reveal to any amateur where the greatest menace to the costly civilization of developed peoples now lies: the influx of barbaric races. At the present time there are 220,000,000 Mohammedans in the earth, 1,500,000 of whom are armed with modern weapons. These men have had ground into their very souls the fanaticism of Allah and the sword. They occupy many of the strategic positions on the earth's surface. Nothing holds them back but the lack of science, democracy and some great Napoleonic leader who may, at any time, appear at' the head of swarming hordes of the most fearless fighters in the world. In 1857 there were 75.000.000 Russians; in 1897 there were 129.000,000; by 1910 this number had reached the appalling extreme of 160,000,000. Today the czar rules over onesixth of the habitable surface of the planet. He holds his power through a settled and thoroughly worked out policy of popular- depression. Schools are denied the multitudes ; priest-craft is carefully nourished and superstition has a firmer grip than among any other barbaric people; and the masses are systematically and by aforethought debauched by alcoholic beverages. Being poor and destitute they breed like flies. In 1950, at the present rate of increase, 260,000,000 Russians will crowd their quarters; in the year 2000 the numbers will have swelled to 520,000.000! Siberia and the great steppes will not feed so great a multitude and they will be compelled to seek other territories. In India there are at present 300.000,000 persons who are among the most destitute, most ignorant and most hard pressed of peoples. At their present breeding rate they will swarm to 450,000,000 in 1950 and to 675,000,000 in 2000. Long before that time India's available resources will have failed her and a struggle will be made to secure holdings in other lands. Worst menace of all is the yellow peril. The Mongolian peoples, the Chinese, the Koreans and the Japanese now control one-third the surface of the planet and show up with 600,000,000 in the census. With a birth-rate of 50 to 60 per cent the imagination cannot conceive how rapidly their numbers will multiply in a half century. Already the Chinese in many parts of the empire have reached the subsistence limit and systematically die of starvation. When we consider how these barbarian folk are growing in number and how soon they will have reached the limits of their present resources it is inevitable that they will sooner or later be compelled by the pressure of want to wrestle

with Europe and America for the possession of lands. In that day the world's great barbarian invasion will be upon us. And if in that day th? civilized nations are not adequately armed, drilled and accoutered for defense the precious institutions of our civilization will be swept away by these limitless hordes. Never will it be safe for us to disarm so long as this menace hangs over us. But there is a still deeper shade in this danger which seems to promise that these conditions will not be long delayed. With their rapid increase in population nothing save an abnormally high death rate has availed hitherto to keep them in bounds. But now we are sending surgeons, doctors, teachers, medicines and scientific knowledge to them teaching them how to preserve life. It has been estimated that in another decade the death rate in India and China will have been reduced at least one-half. In that event population, freed from this restraining check, will leap forth with accelerated bounds and sweep upon us in another generation or so. In the face of this predicament there are only two possible means of protection : war must drive back the barbarians to starve in their own overcrowded territories or some means of decreasing the birth rate must be found. Is there such a means? There is. It is an unalterable biologic law that the birth rate declines as social life grows more complex. The more ignorant, destitute and hard pressed a people, the higher the birth rate ; the more educated, civilized and complicated is a society, the lower the birth rate; that, within the well recognized scientific limits, is the law. The civilized nations will be wise if they plant schools, colleges, libraries, churches and scientific knowledge with modern industrial methods among these nations. That way alone can their birth rate be depressed and their fearful swollen flood of human masses be held up and civilization be protected. The missionary, the man who carries the apparatus of civilization to these far peoples, stands at the throttle of the world. He is at the strategic point of destiny and holds future history in his hands. If he succeeds in introducing the complexities of western life among oriental peoples he may make unnecessary a huge standing army in Europe and America and so bring to pass the age old dream of the lovers of peace rather than the lovers of war.

Stock Exchange Bill Faces Next Congress

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. Stock ; exchange legislation will be the meat ; of the menu projected for the next ; session of congress. In the opinion of many members of cor.gTess it will ' be the fir?t large subject attacked after currency legislation is disposed 1 of. The question promises to brine: about one of the most chaotic conditions observed in congress in many , years. j

There is not only a wide divergence i

The Hnphes commission did not look with favor upon the proposal to compel the stock exchange to incorporate under state or federal law. it aereed with stock exchange numbers that more effective regulation of the stock exchanee is exercised by the private mana tiers or board of governors tnan could be exercised under the state or federal law.

LETTER LIST

the stork exchange as a necessary and much-abused part of the big economic machinery of the country. Senator Burton is expected to take a leading part in the defense of the Republican side In past years, he has written much indicating his belief that the stock exchange, despite its faults, acts as a barometer for business conditions and that the country might save itself periods of depression and money Ptringency if it would follow more closely the prophetic voice of the exchange. Study New York Report. The report of the commission appointed during Governor Hughes" administration in New York, is expected to play a large part in the deliberations of congress. This report, while recognizing faults in the New York stock exchange, defended it broadly and made 'specific recommendation against many proposals of reform

be determined without lengthly discussion and because the administration does not wish to be placed in the attitude of special pleader against an institution in which are lister over twenty five billion dollars worth of securities. As a result a half dozen or more measures will be presented and from them either hopeless disagreement will result, as was the case when cotton futures legislation was attempted durinc the tariff discussion, or a compromise and composite bill will be drafted. Owing to the Democratic preponderance in the South, it is likely that southern members will devote their attention primarily to cotton exchange legislation. Senator Cummins will propose a bill covering not only stock exchange transactions, but also speculative activities in grain, provisions and cotton.

WILSON ABOLISHES NEW YEAR'S BALL

WASHINGTON, has received the ministered since assumed office.

Nov. 22. Society greatest shock adPresident Wilson Official announce

ment was made that the annual New Y'ears reception which has been held at the white house for nearly a century will be abandoned for the present. Whether it will be resumed in 1915 is not known, but friends of the President and Mrs. Wilson do not believe it will be. Capital society got its first jolt from the president when he called off the Inaugural ball. There came another when it was learned that many of the leaders here would not be invited to the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson, and a third whpn the annual diplomatic reception, but today's announcement capped the climax of society's grief.

Food Regulations H. E. Barnard, the state Food and Drug commissioner is screwing down the lid on ice men and grocers. Determined to give the consumer a fair deal, he has set about enforcing the state laws in regard to ice, butter and eggs. He orders that every ice dealer shall supply books containing coupons for five pounds or less. This means that the user may buy his supply according to his own need rather than the convenience of the ice man. Furthermore the dealer must weigh each and every piece carefully by tested and sealed scales and must charge according to exact weight and not according to proportions of a supposed fifty or hundred pound chunk. Grocers are made to placard any butter that has been "renovated," a term meaning rechurned, mixed or otherwise worked over. This placard must be posted either on the receptacle containing the butter or in a conspicuous place. And as for eggs, no dealer is permitted to sell storage eggs as fresh, and every store handling storage eggs is made to post a placard so stating in a conspicuous place. All these regulations are necessary to the

maintenance of public health and are just and de-j

sirable in every way. It remains now for the public to do its part by joining in with the authorities in an attempt to make the law respected as well as feared.

A fool there was and he made his prayer (Even as you and I) To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair (We called her the woman who did not care), But the fool he called her his lady fair (Even as you and I). Oh, the years we waste and the tears we waste And the work of our head and hand Belong to the woman who did not know (And now we know that she never could know-) And did not understand. Oh. the toil we lost and the spoil we lost And the excellent things we planned Belong to the woman who didn't know- why (And now we know she never knew why) And did not understand. But it isn't the shame, and it isn't the blame That stings like a white-hot brand In coming to know that she never knew- why (Seeing at last she could never know why) And could never understand.
