But the founda
tion of the republic is confidence in the multitude, in its honesty and good sense, in the certainty
of its arriving at right conclusions. Pessimism is the luxury of a handful ; optimism is the private delight, as well as public profession, of nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand, for nowhere does the individual associate himself more constantly and directly with the greatness of his country." "It is hard adequately to convey the impression which the vastness of the country and the swift growth of its population make upon the European traveler. I well remember how it once
came on me after climbing a high mountain in an eastern state. All around was thick forest; but the setting sun lit up the peaks sixty or seventy miles away, and flashed here and there on the windings of some river past a town so far off as to seem only a spot of white. "I opened my map, a large map, which I had to spread upon the rocks to examine, and tried to make out, as one would have done in Scotland or Switzerland, the points in the view. The map, however, was useless, because the whole area of the landscape beneath me covered only two or three square inches upon it. From such a height in Scotland the eye would have ranged from sea to sea. But here, when one tried to reckon how many more equally wide stretches of landscape lay between this peak and the Mississpipi, which is itself only a third of the way across the conti
nent, the calculation seemed endless and was soon
abandoned

The Salvation Army Men of world-wide prominence, who have had an opportunity of observing many phases of Salvation Army work from first hand, have recently sent to Evangeline Booth, commander of the Salvation Army in the United States, messages of appreciation of the labors of the Army and expressions of hope for the success of the $13,000,000 Home Service Fund campaign which will be conducted in the United States in the week of May 19-26. General Pershing, who, as commander of the
American Expeditionary Force, studied closely the activities of the Salvation Army at the war front, has cabled Miss Booth, asserting in unqualified terms his appreciation of the "splendid service" of the Salvation Army in France and assuring its commander of the "affectionate regard" in which the American soldiers hold its workers. "The outstanding features of the work of the Salvation Army," says General Pershing, "have been its disposition to push its activities as far as possible to the front and the trained and experienced character of its workers whose one thought was the well-being of the soldiers they came to serve. This has resulted in a degree of excellence and self-sacrifice in the work performed which has been second to none." Another man who knew the Salvation Army 5n France as he knew it also in America is Brigadier-General Cornelius Vanderbilt, head of the famous Vanderbilt family in New York. So impressed was General Vanderbilt by the value and usefulness of Salvation Army endeavors overseas that he has become chairman for Greater New York in the Home Service Fund campaign. He has written to Commander Booth as follows:

Henry H. Way, of old Newport, now Fountain City, who came to that town to teach about 1825, was probably the first man to use modern experimental methods in the schools of the county. Reading, writing and arithmetic were the standard subjects then, but Way was a young man of ideas and far ahead of his time. He bargained for the body of a dead Indian from the relative, spent some time in dissecting it, and finally assembled a perfect skeleton, with which to teach the children anatomy. Instantly a great commotion arose among the old-fashioned Friends of the neighborhood and for a time the question of Way's skeleton was the leading squabble of the town. At last he was forced to bow to public opinion, and went to other parts of the country, leaving the skeleton behind. It is thought to be still in existence, among the old relices stored away in someone's garret In Fountain City. When a man wished to start a school in those days, and as late as the middle of the century, he did not apply to the county superintendent for a job. He went from house to house with a pad and pencil, reckoning up his prospective customers, and if he found that the enterprise was worth while he started the school. Then he charged from three to five cents a day for each pupil.

The Vision of America
Speaking of "the intense faith which Americans have in the soundness of their institutions," Lord Bryce says in "The American Commonwealth": "Foreign critics have said that they think themselves the special objects of the care of Divine Providence. If this be so, it is matter neither for surprise nor for sarcasm. They are a religious people. They are trying, and that on the largest scale, the most remarkable experiment in government the world has yet witnessed. They have more than ance been surrounded by perils which affrighted the stoutest hearts, and they have escaped from these perils into peace and prosperity. There is among pious persons a

Revaluing Life
From the Kansas City Star. WHEN a man. has faced death or serious misfortune, physically, financially or otherwise, there is one thing he always does, provided he is a eenslble and intelligent person; he takes stock of himBelf, looks into his liabilities and his assets and seeks not only to determine the causes of his misfurtune, but also the means of preventing a recurrence of the disaster in the future. If a calamity has befallen a group of men, no matter how large, though it be a part or all of the world, the situation remains unchanged. There is a period of serious introspection, a study of causes, effects and possible preentlves. Now the world, in the midst of ita convalescence from the worst catastrophe of human history, is making an inventory of itself. Practically every vital phase of civilization ia now being subjected to a most searching scrutiny. Institutions, principles and professions hitherto regarded as established and secure from the voice of protest and censure are undergoing a penetrating diagnosis. A selfconsciousness induced by a sense of sore disease has left the world restless, dissatified and groping for the light In such a time it is natural that there should be an effort to return to fundamentals. Toward this end most if not nil of those who are seriously desirous that the world, as the o!d saying is, should really grow better, are now bending their efforts. The process of revaluing and simplifying life is indeed important and it involves a large task.
In the midst of Buch a process it should be remembered, above everything else, that efforts, no matter how serious, are bound to be characterized and colored by the temperament and ideals of those who make them. Now there are about as many of these temperaments as there are individuals, and no one person, however prominent, has a monopoly of truth or is permitted to see all the light. It is of utmost importance, therefore, that as many individuals as possible be allowed to contribute their quota to the sum total of effort. If it were possible it would be highly undesirable that the great work of rebuilding the world be left to the few. No sense of Individual ownership, power of initiative and right of participation can exist when any great undertaking is not the task of all. In fact, the ultimate test of democracy Is now being made. No person who regards himself as a factor in democracy can escape the burden that is laid upon him. He should neither remain inactive himself nor deny the same right and duty to others who feel the compulsion of the hour and demand that they be heard. Whatever developments of value may result from this period of revelation will be dependent upon this individual effort. Necessarily there will be. as there has been, clashes of opinion. But when all the opinions are out and in the open the right ones will prevail in time. If then the so-called common man is to have any share in the day that is declared to be his, it will only be the share that he claims for himself by sincere and intelligent participation in this highly important process of revaluing life. . 1 t
GERMANS HELPLESS, DANIELS DECLARES
IRv Associated Press) EDINBURG. April 28. The German warships interned at Scapa flow were inspected today by Josephus Daniels, the American secretary of the navy and his staff, who arrived at Scappa How last night. After the inspection the Secretary and his party were entertained at luncheon by
Rear Admiral R. J. Prendergrast, commanding the Orkney and Shetland stations. In responding to a toast by Admiral Prendergast, Secretary Daniels said It was a great pleasure to see the surrendered German fleet, including some of the greatest warships in the world, at anchor and held by three drifters. He continued: "The German navy not only is helpless to move, but the German nation will be impotent for all time." The American party afterward visited Kirkwell and inspected the American Y. M. C. A. hut. After visiting the air stations at Houston and the harbor at Stromness, the Secretary
and his party were entertained at dinner on board the battleship Lion, by Rear Admiral Sir Roger Keyes.
THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK
HELPLESSLY GOOD 'If "Society" should ever take a trip to Heaven, it would get a most remarkable questioning at the Golden Gate. It has bo much for which to answer. For it is by its false and halting standards that Society has become a bolster, and a mill-stone as well, about the necks of individual men and women who so much desire to be both free and right. It is Society which mis-leads so often whereas Its great function should always be to lead. It creates Helplessly Good people out of really good material. MoBt people who are Helplessly Good are that way because they are, as a rule, not lacking In courage or originality to do wrong, but because they are bound by a rule that makes right wrong, contradictory as It may Bound. There is a difference between the general GOOD and the general RIGHT. In the same way as a court may declare a man "Not Guilty," but it does not necessarily follow that the party is Innocent. Of course, Society can never be anything else in Itself but it can be, Oh so much better in its Heart. And the only way for Society to grow in heart Is for every man and woman to grow in courage and toleration for you and I to. It Is a terrible thing to be Helplessly Good! I wouldn't like to see all conventions and established forms wiped out. Maybe they could be used to decorate much that Is Interesting in life. But I wish that life might be taught and understood as It is. And that every man or woman might walk strait ahead and not be held up at every corner by the eminently respectable "Cop" our friend Society! How fine it is to be genuine to look the world honestly in the face and feel your blood and know that your heart Is In the right place anyway tho your feet do slip once in a while on some banana peel of falseness. For, almost any kind of a life Is better than the one which is just Helplessly Good.

This bo got on Mrs. Robinson's nerves that at last she exclaimed: "Jane, your mouth is wide open!" Jane withdrew her gaze from the ceiling and said, looking down with a cheery smile: "I know it, ma'am; I opened it myself!"

COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy, and Youthful with Sage Tea and Sulphur.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth'3 Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli
cations, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. Adv.

These Durable Soles Cut Shoe Bills Down "For use around cement plant3 and similar places where rough materials grind down soles quickly, I recommend Neolin Soles. They resist wear surprisingly. After working around the clinker department long enough to wear out two pairs of ordinary soles, my Neclin Soles are still as good as new," writes A. F. Miller, superintendent of The Peninsular Portland Cement Company plant in Jackson, Michigan. It is remarkable how tough and durable Neslin Soles are. They are made so by Science comfortable and waterproof, too. They come on new shoes in many styles for men, women, and children, and are available everywhere for re-soling. Wear them, and cut your shoe bills down. Neolin Soles are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other heels. 1

The Wadsworth Manufacturing Company manufacturers evclusively t for the Ford Motor Company and turn out over 200 closed bodies per day for that Company. In order to ln crease production and to have satisfied workers, they harve adopted the Ford system and are going to make automobile closed bodies on the propressive system, using practically no, skilled mechanics for the work . The Ford system of not allowing a man to be discharged, makes it possible to place them where their requirements and wishes are best satisfied. The minimum Is $6.00 per day for 84 hours work, and with this system, H has been proven at the Ford Motor Company that the chances for young men for advancement are considerably higher than wfcere former tradesmen were employed only. In the five years that the Ford Motor Company, have had this system in effect, the an nual savings and resources of their employes have increased five time. Thev lave decreased the percentage of lior turn-over, or hiring and dis-. charging of help from 20 per cent, a month under the old system to not quite 2 per cent, a month under the,' present.
