HIGH COST OF BIBLES. The American IiiMe society announces that it is having: difficulty because of the rreat increase In the cost of book-rruLklnff materials. ILs cheap testaments cost twice an much to produce n.s before the war. Paper, Ink, leather and jrluo have all jrone up. The result is that thin Kocicty and other organizations that distribute religious literature of various Mrt. are. having to limit their operations. One denominational publishing house reports that it white paper alone will cost $130,000 more than usual thlsj year. Thifl handicap is especially unfortunate, at a time when the world needs religion more perhaps than ever before, and -when rellfrious publications are welcomed nearly everywhere more wnrmly than for many years.

If this is not hocu.-pocus, Enricht haa made a discovery that is literally worth billions of dollars, and destined to confer incalculable benefits on the human race. He has provided not merely a means of running pas engines cheaply, at the very' time when the high price of gatollne has made it particularly welcome. He has gien the world a permanent source of power far cheaper and more accessible than any now

It is no exaggeration to Fay that euch a dis

covery' 1 greater than that of Kteam power, for the use of steam depends on coal, which Is expensive and exhaustible. There Is plenty of water? Unfortunately, this is probably a hoax or a dream. The known laws of science are against It. Fuel experts pcofr at it. Water, to be sure, La two-thirds hydrogen; and that hydroffen, when separated. Is highly explosive. But chemists Insist that it is bound to take, under Ideal conditions, at least as much expenditure of energy to separate the hydrogen from Its combination with oxygen os the hydrogen can rrive back afterward In burning or exploding. They Insist that there is no subsstance In existence a little of which, poured into water, will cause this separation a-s Enricht pays It does, breaking up the water and giving the pure hydrogen to explode in the gas chamber of the engine like gasoline vapor. And yet science has been wrong before.

The Melting Pot Filled by the Editorial Staff.

saii in. wiiisov. Said Mr. YVilnon to Germany We have a risht to be at Pea, And if we ficht. 'Twill be for right And the n;eds of humanity. Some of our preparedness friends are rather insistent that a foreign foe could land on one coast and reach the other coast in five days. Perhaps they could but, we venture to say tijnt they might find that it's farther from New York to San Francisco than it is from Berlin to Paris for. instance.

With Other Editors Than Ours

Speaking of the demand for houses, plenty of our good hoiwwives have ben unable to take down their curtains and wash them for fear of being bothered by would-be-rcntcrs.

SAN FRANCISCO'S BIRTHDAY. Of course they said it couldn't be done. The smoking mass of ruins which was San Francisco 10 years ago this April would never again be a city of power. It had been proved that the site was not safe to build upon. No one would want to live there again. But if foolhardy San Francisco should insist upon rebuilding, It -would be jit least F.O years before the city could regain what it had lost. Today, however. San Francisco is stronger anil more beautiful than eier before. She did a record export and Import business lat year. Her population is bigcer than before the earthquake. Her world's fair was a tremendous success. Xo, It oouldn't bo done. Rut American pluck and enterprise have done it. Many happy returns, San Francisco!

FEAR GERMANY SHE'S STRONG! INVADE MEXICO SHE'S WEAK! We fhould plunge into war with Mexico because she might be r usy to lick and keep out of war with Gennany because "it" might le difticult to handle. That appears to be the reasoning of the Chicago Tribune, perhaps not lrau.p it exac tly reasons that way, but rather because war with Mexico Instead of Germany more nearly mensurca up to it.s ideals, and drives it to that concluFlon. Reference i", made to the editorial appearing in that pari" yesterday, headed "Ritter Fruit." It was -brought

to our attention y telephone; had to be brought to our attention in order for us to see it, for, wo must confess that since convinced some four years atn that the Tribune is merely a sort of Darwinian "missing link" missing because not generally recognized at its true Ftat'is connecting tho International Harvester octopus with the bull , moose, we have nt Kiven its opinions very' much consideration. Between the McOormlcks, the Perkinses, and the T. R.'s. with tho McCormick and Perkins demand for sisal dependent upon Mexico, the Tribune's preference for a war with Mexico a.f a quest of "the farm adjoining ours" U not at all difficult to understand. Aside from which that paper's denunciation of Pres't Wilson and his Mexican and European policies, are r.kln to silliness. Railing at the president for having been a pchooimaster, damning him for his lack of astuteness as a politician, contending as against him that iie should dlsrec-ar.l all theories of truth and risrht, and taking condition; .'ls they are make them to serve his purposes regardless of rieht or wrong, is too far from sense for serious thought. Eikc-.Mse the contention that th president' pro-Humanltarianism is not pro-American. In thl we think the Tribune is -most certainly wrong. The conclusion of its ruling would be that "might makfi ricrht' rather than "tight, might." and that to be pro-Amei loan we must disclaim the humardtarianism of Americanism, and content ourselves with the little jol of suppressing the weak, while the strong should be loft to run over us at their own y-weet will. Nothing more un-American has appeared in American print since our 1 iniquities vith the Teutons have arisen. We do not except even the extreme pro-German papers In thit statement. The Tribune's premises Are just as un-American as its conclusions. The basic principles from which it argue. if they may be called b.-vsio principles, run amuck in a cowardly imbecility of which the American republic hss never been guilty. We may be slow to anger, hampered at times by our Ideals, even over-anxious to be risht rather than powerful, but as a nation we have never been cowardly, nor allowed greed ncr size to control our actions. Nothing could be more un-Ar.if rican than to suggest that we fear Germany bee .nice she is strong, and Invade Mexico because she is a f.ebl fruitful, and might be made to rcrvo us, perhaps, as a sort of military training school which is about nil the Tribune tirade amounts to.

PHILANTHROPY AS AN INDUSTRY AND ITS ARMY OF WORKERS. To the ordinary American it will seem incredible that there should be 4,000 men and women In one community earning their living in social work supported by private philanthropy. Such, however, is New York city's distinction in the realm of organized charity. In South Bend it is different, at least, in degree. Philanthropy seems to have developed Into a regular industry. It has its definite place in the social organization. It has developed its own system and standards. Social workers are required to undergo an elaborate course of training. Salaries are in general not so high, perhaps, as in other linos of business requiring education and skill. But they are better than educational salaries. They run as high as $10,000 a year. Quite a few of the New Ycrk charity experts get $5.000 a year, and it Is a rare college professor who gets that much. Their aggregate salaries run into the millions. The New York School of philanthropy, which has been taking a census of these salaried workers in private charities, reports that they constitute a larger group than the city's clergymen, dentists ur chemists, and are as numerous as authors, editors, reporters, civil engineers and surveyors. There are other American cities, too. where the proportion of social workers to the population is almost ns great. Undoubtedly the worker is worthy of his hire. But it does look as if the work of distributing charity Is getting to be rather expensive, and the -machinery unduly cumbersome. And any one who reflects on such vast, complex activities as modern philanthropy

represents, is driven to wonder whether all this bother and expense is really necessary and wise whether society couldn't manage things so that fewer persons would need charity, and so that the army nowengaged in laboriously Investigating and doling out pittances could be freed for productiv . employment.

GENIUS AND STANDARD OIL MAY BE PREPARING FOR WAR. That Standard Cdl Is being brought face to face with Its Waterloo, the product of American genius, everyiody specially tho automobile owners are bound to hepe and pray.

TEACHING HEALTH AS WELL AS MENTALITY IN THE SCHOOLS. Incident to the recent welfare conference held here and the attention given by the speakers to health and mentality, as inter-dependent, the natural disposition to shift a portion of the blame to the schools, for mental defectiveness, is not. by any means, all local. That It Is the duty of public educational systems to build up the health of children as well as to train their minds is the contention of Ir. Ward rrampton. physical training expert. New York city. Not a bad idea either. Out of the 22,000,000 school children in the United States, says Dr. Crampton, more than 12.000,000. or over half, receive no physical or health education at all. Only one in five high schools has physical training for the mass of students. About three-fourths of them have athlet'cs for the few, which is, of course, no sub, stltute for compulsory physical training. Part of the neglect may be ascribed to the pressure of mental training, but most of it is due to the apathy or ignorance of parents, who do not, according to the expert, "charge against education as now conducted the preventable illnesses of their children." Dr. Crampton wants to see a national awakening on thig subject. The original idea of the public schools was to furnish book-learning to children who, presumably, lived wholesomely out of school hours. The fact that the school itself, with Its crowding, its discipline, its faults of ventilation, its passing on of infections, could be responsible for Illness and other physical evils did not enter into consideration. The time has come, however, when it is known that health can be taught, bodies can be strengthened or weakened at will. With spring-time ot hand, the long vacation Imminent, plans for the new year under discussion, there is no better time than now to arrange so that the schools may begin to be body-builders rather than bodybreakers. If yellow fever could be eliminated from Panama, why not grippe, measles and nervous break-downs from a school district? Much has been done in this direction, but more remains yet to do.

HUMANE CONDUCT OF U-BOATS MODELS TO EMULATE. We learn from the esteemed Gazette of Cologne, Germany, that "tliere is no cae on record which permits a neutral to accuse Germany cf having iolated the rules she has laid down." This after the torpedoing of the Sussex, with its American passengers. We also learn from the Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger that "America must recognize, In the light of the last German note, that there can be Just as little question of our having broken our promises as there is of our having violated the laws' of humanity. People should seek only to emulate the model, correct and humane conduct of our U-bcat commanders instead of assailing them That settles It. The German submarines have broken no treaties, no pledges, no laws. They have acted In every case correctly and humanely, even when they slaughtered American women and children on shlr regarded by all other nations as immune from attack. The U-boat commanders are the perfect models for our own submarines to emulate. We owe an apology to th German grovernment, and esredallr to th& Gorman press, fon ever Srrving thcuffht otherwise.

One thing we have never seen advertised: Two bath and a room. One thing we have: A flat upstairs for rent. I went out to rent a flat, I hunted high and hunted low. But I couldn't find a little flat. So I let them rent me a bungalow. It used to be landlords said "children not wanted." now they say in plenty of cases, "children uot tolerated." But it's almost a fifty-fifty arrangement, some of them refuse to accept families with a dog. Years back a man raised a large family and then in his old age let the children support him. Now the older they are, the more expensive. iii'MiNG a uorsi:.

Editer Meltin pot My wife says

we gotta get a new house and I says alnt this house good enough and she says now it aint good enough, it aint got no conveniences. I says what is conveniences and she says a good front porch and such things. So not caring to start nothing I .says go ahead and rent a new house and she goes ahead, but thc alnt rented no new house yet. Finelie she grabs me and takes me a long. We goes to several houses but them that got porches aint got no furnice nor none of them other conveniences. We finelie gits a house what she Hives', .course it dont uit me, but I aint home often and I says shes the one to be suited. It had one of these receiving halls and my wife figured she could get enough furniture to fix it up for about a couple of hundred dollars. The dinin room was on the north side and the bed rooms didnt have many winders, but the kitcen was alright and that settled it. Finelie niy wife asked how much and the landlord said, only J;'5 a month, but we would have to buy the old stove and the coal, and the fruit and pay fer the grasp seed that had been sewed and my wife says we did intend to build a house but

thought rentin was cheaper. It used to be said the landlord, but t his war has changed everything. We didnt rent this house but went an looked for another and after lookin over a dozen or maybe a dozen dozen we found what we

wanted, but it was alredy rented and we didnt git no chance to ask how much it would sell for In rent. Maybe there is a house that will tuiit us. but we aint. seen none yet excepting the city hall and they aint no chance to git in their on account of the roomers. Yours, CY. .MODERN WARFARE. The enemy had marshalled 22 billions in gold. 12 billions in silver and 75 trillions in I. o. U.'s. while in rear reinforcements of billions in currency was in readiness to rush to the front. The massive formation looked impregnable, but General Finance, war secretary of our noble nation was not to be denied. He marshalled all the resources of the country and had dollar for dollar to stack against the enemy, but it was not enough. After deep study and much puzzling be called on the women of the country. Did they respond? Tid they? 'Tis to laugh. Every last one of them went down in her (deleted) and producing the coin of the relm smothered General Finance. Then victory was ours. We were able to send $1.15 against every dollar the enemy could raise and victory perched on our banner. The nation was loud in praise of the women who had so nobly reached to the rescue of their country.

KATING STUDENT CHARACTER. (Billings, Mont.. Gazette.) As a means of giving prospective employers a better line on the qualifications of students applying in them for work the authorities at th .State Agricultural college at Bozeman have adopted a system of character rating. Under this plan each instructor In college is asked to grade every student who comes under his instruction on the following: ability, honesty, application, thoroughness, aptitude, punctuality, reliability, neatness in work, personal appearance, command of English, industry and cheerfulness. Instructors are asked to grade only those students and for those qualities upon which they feel that they have a definite opinion. The average of each student's rating In these respects is compiled by the college registrar and Is used in recommending a student for position after graduation. The student is allowed the opportunity to know the average opinion of his instructors, though he is not permitted to see their individual grading. The idea in making these facts known to the student is to enable him to correct deficiencies in his character; and since the grading is to be done once each half year throughout his four years' course, the student will have abundant opportunity if he desires to improve his standing w 1th his instructors and

to establish before his graduation a , reputation for such qualities as most )

employers are seeking. This system of grading students upon personal characteristics was suggested by plans in use In on or two other educational Institutions and more particularly by the schedule of grading used in a number of large commercial concerns. It properly takes into account the fact, so long ignored by educational author

ities, that mere scholarship is not an adequate or dependable measure of a man's worth. The "grind" who wins high marks in examinations is in the majority of cases a onesided man, and what the world is calling for now is allaround men, not Jacks of all trades, but men who combine character with intelligence, common sense with scholarship, personality with power of concentration. Optimism is rated higher nowadays than omniscience.

COTTA ES I-XMt COUNTRY SCHOOL TKACHKRS. (Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch.) The living force of the schools is its teachers and that is true in the country, a well as in the city. Without good teachers, fine buildings and equipment are of little p.vail. It is like constructing a splendid locomotive and putting it in charge of a blacksmith. R. S. Kellogg, acting for the federal bureau of education, has been inquiring into the housing conditions of the country school teacher, and finds them bad. The old custom of "boarding around' still obtains in i: any sections, and the result is that many teachers live during the hours they are not at work in surroundings that are uninspiring and even depressing. Not all homes are suited to the needs of a teacher who must work out of hours and so must have quiet and comfort; and some of the homes that would be suitable are not open to "boarders." As a rule, however, the more difficult it is to find in the community a suitable boarding place for the teacher, the greater the need that she shall be made etficient through good housing. It is. therefore, proposed that communities provide, not only school houses, but teachers' cottages, where the teacher may live in her own way. It looks like a sensible idea. Not long ago. there was report of one Ohio country school teacher who had done this on her own account, rather than suffer the inconveniences to which
