This is the faith whose trial worketh the patience which makes the running possible; it is the only real cure for Responsibility and laissez-faire for this faith and expectation enables a man to run with patience the race set before him. Nothing else will The course is difficult, discouraging, and of ten terrifying Now 1t leads through valleys of depression and sadness where one sees only defeat and loss and the shadow of death; now into some dark canyon whose narrow floor is streWn with boulders and scanned with myster- ious chasms, whose straight steep sides shut out the day; now up ragged heights where the path clings like a thread to the cliffs and runs on the very edge of yawning gulfs; now along sum- mits that stretch chill and bare and wind-swept; now, thank Godl through sweet-scented woods and smiling fields where flowers bloom and song birds trill and sunshine glorifes the world and fills the heart with gladness.

AR1zoNA's PETR1FIED FOREST

Reservation.
 Public interest has been once more quickened in the petrified forest of Ari- zona. and there appears to be every likelihood of it's being withdrawn from entry, by congressional action, for the purpose of creating it into national park. Probably no place on the Ameri- can continent possesses more interest," ing scenic features or instructive geo. logical fields than this wonderful forest of Arizona territory. In fact, the petri- fled forest in Egypt, it is asserted, can- not compare with it.

GERMAnY's CHINA POLICY.

speech Criticised.

Perrin. Oct. 15.-Germany's China
policy is growing unpopular among
the great manufacturers in west Ger
many. owing to the severe reaction in
business. the absence of orders and
the heavy fall in industrial shares.
Most of the papers to-day discuss
the expression World Empire" used
by Emperor William in his speech at
the laying of the foundation stone Of
the Imperial museum at Saalburg. all
denying that Germany has any such
intention as might seem to have been
implied.
The Nossische Zeitung says that the
time has passed when mankind gem
orally would tolerate the hegemony
of a single power. The Cologne Ca
zette. the National Zeitung. the Nord-
Oeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the Ber-
liner Tageblatt and the Berliner Post
give u~tterances TO similar sentiments.

where the amount OF gold in one dollar
will have a larger exchange power for
things in general in other countries
than at home. because while that con-
dition lasts the export of geld coin
must continue. The export Of coin
under such circumstances would only
cease when IL would no longer ex-
change for more Of things in general

Therefore, whether or not god re-

Ge<maa rad Marx Law Used q 10
IaJuss Disahvansage of Per-.
etgners In G~rmany.

Washington. Oct. LEA very pecu-
liar provision of the German law for
the registration of trade marks is
i~nfrequently used 10 the great and
unjust disadvantage OF Americans and
other foreigners. according to q re-
port TO the state department by Con
sul-General Mason al Berlin.
Under the statute any person may
register and secure right to any name
or device used as a trade mark which
has not been registered previously in
Berlin by some other firm or person.
In other words. the officials before
whom the application is broughtmake
no inquiry to ascertain whether the
applicant has ever used the proposed
trade mark or has any right to il.
but only concern themselves as to
what has been registered in Germany.
The latter point settled. it is admit
ted to registration without further
inquiry.
AS an instance of how readily such
q provision can be abused. several
years ago when American bicycles be-
gan to be imported into Germany GER
tain persons interested in blocking
the trade got the trade marks of two
or three makers registered in their
own names and either obliged the
American owners of the trade marks
to buy them of. or in other words, to
pay a species of blackmail. or to
change the trade marks on all bicycles
| exported TO Germany.
There are other instances of this
fraudulent appropriation, and the
abuse has become so notorious as to
elicit the remark from a leading Ger
nan paper. the other day. that the eff
'ect OF the law is TO legalize and facili.
.ate theft of trade marks.
The consul general says that the
obvious course of all American ex-
porters is 10 have their name and
trade mark duly registered in Ger
many before exporting any kind Of
merchandise covered by a well-known
name TO that country
The question OF the registration of
trade marks has been taken uD. also,

establishment Of such a circuit as the
secretary suggests would no more
pace the country upon either a gold

The senseless process of putting the
country upon a silver basis suggested
by the secretary would not expel a dol

neither appreciate or depreciate the

The Currency Question.


Of the United States is composed OF
dollars, or units, and multiples and
fractions thereof. The money units
are made OF gold. silverand paper. The
value or exchange power OF each OF
these units is determined by the whole
number OF them in existence. Ten
dollars, or units, represent ten times
the purchasing power OF one dollar, or
unit, and so on with a thousand, a mill
lion or a billion. One dollar or unit rep
resents one-tenth of the value or pur-
chasing power Of ten. one-millionth Of
a million or one billionth OF . billion.
Dollars are the units of price, of cred.
It and of Liability and in the ransac-
lions OF trade and commerce prices are
reckoned in counts OF the unit dollar.
In what way and under the opera
ton OF whatlaw may the United States

When money units are made Of diff

States. IL the number of units should
be so increased as to diminish the ex-
change power Of the unit until the ma
terial composing one OF the units in
our own country falls below what the
material composing it would exchange
for in another country, then in that
Ease the money units so affected would
be exported to the country where the
material composing them possessed
the larger exchange power. where
they could be exchanged for a larger
amount Of things in general. This
process would go on until the country
would be drained of the coin Of a par

the coin continued to have a larger ex-
change power for things in general

Secretary Gage and HE Monetary
K0nsense-BimetaIlists Want
Both Gold and silver.

Secretary Gage, in a recent inter-
view IN the Washington Star. suggests
that 1t would be within the power Of
William J. Bryan as president Of the
United States to operate under exist
ing laws and put the country upon,
what he chooses TO call, q silver basis.
He admits that il would be something
OF a difficult task and would require
considerable time for its accomplish
ment, but he credits Mr.. Bryan with
p~erverseness and ingenuity sufficient
10 accomplish IL. He says that Mr..
Bryan could command his secretary of
the treasury TO pay out silver in the
payment OF such government obliga-
tions as may be Legally paid in coin of
that metal. and also the current dis
bursements of the government. He adj
mits the government owns no silver
with which 10 do this. but suggests
that as the result of a tedious and la
bored effort on the part OF Mr.. Bryan
he could finally bring it about so that
the revenues of the government would
be paid in silver after which he would
be able to meet the disbursements in
silver coin. and that IL a circuit was es-
tablished between the custom house
and internal revenue Offices and the
public creditors, the country would be
on a silver basis.
The proposition is utterly absurd.
No rational president would undertake
tomanipulate the receipts and ~expendi-
lures as suggested by the secretary,
because neither good o evil could be
