Gov left Davis Here.

Hon. Jeff Davis. Governor OF Arkansas
his son and his private secretary. MIR. Z.
O. Mahouey, are guests Of the Metro
politan.
Governor Davis is only thirty nine years
of age. and is an exceedingly fine looking
man. He is said, on good authority, to
have the strongest hold on the voters OF
Arkansas that any public man OF that
state ever possessed. In the recent heated
campaign he carried seventy out Of sew
.nty-hve counties, and though his own re-
election was involved, he practically ig-
nored his own interests to advocate the
election Of his friend. Ex-Governor Clark.
to the United States Senate. in lieu OF
the present Senator, Hon. ]. X. Jones. II
is not putting it too strong that but for
Davis. Clark never could have been VIC
torious.
The Governor and his party will stay
in Washington perhaps week, and then
Will journey to the Pacific Coast, Seattle
being the objective point. Their tour will
take up about six weeks.

Honduras q Fair Land.

81 am Just back from a particularly IN
teresting sojourn in Honduras" said Mr..
E. II. Garcin, Of Trenton, N. j., at the
Raleigh.
THE country is simply magnificent, but
the English language is powerless to give
an adequate idea Of the laziness Of the
Honduraneans. I thought the Cubans were
a trife inactive. but say. alongside these
Central Americans, the Cubans are q
rushing lot. The Honduraneans are al
most too lazy to eat.
1T is the most favored country by ma
ture ever saw. for there is simply no
limit to the fertility OF the soil. l went
down there to look over the field as a
source of rubber supply. 1t Is the natu-
raj home OF the rubber tree. but the for
ests have been sadly abused by the vaga-
bond population, who have nearly ruined
things by tapping the young trees.
THE government is liberal and gives
foreigners, for the most part. better
show than natives. But they have little
respect for the United States down there
No American consul seems to command
any respect in Central America. The
British representative has only to indi-
cate a wish and 1t Is carried out. Time
and again, had II not been for the protec-
ton OF English consuls. our citizens in
Honduras and adjacent states would
have been robbed or murdered.
Il never saw pillow the whole time
was In the country. and they plant corn
simply by making hole in the ground
with sharp stick"

Logic and Instinct.

The argument on the race question
which took place in the House day 9r
two ago was an excellent example of a
truth which becomes obvious every time
general discussion Of that question
takes place-that when emotional in
stincts arising from generations OF ira
dition get mixed up with a problem Of
craftsmanship. the arguments are likely
to go by each other in the air. without
either side knowing 1t. In this case the
two opponents used arguments which
seemed to each entirely valid. and which
were. in fact, valid when the premises
were granted. but they were talking on
different planes, and neither in reality
came within a mile Of answering the
other. The question Of the relations be-
tween the different races in this Republic
is one which cannot be settled by talk:
1t Is a matter for time and the slow pro-
cesses of evolution. but ii would seem
that II there is to be talk on the subject
at all. II should be talk to some purpose
No good end is served by the mere ex-
preston Of violent and emotional opinion.
The gentleman from Massachusetts, was
arguing on the relative value Of two hui
man beings to the country at large. from
moral, Industrial and economic point
OF view: and the gentleman from Ken
lucky was arguing from a purely social
point of view. regarding these two human
beings in their private relations. The two
things do not mix. One may have BUSH
ness relations with persons who are not
within a mile of being ones social equals:
this must be. or the business of the>world
could not 60 on. A man may have a very
great economic value to the country with
out having any social value to speak Of,
or vice versa. Society could get along
all right without railroads. or pork fac
tories, or ready made shoes; character
and its development would be undisturbed
II all these institutions were swept away
tomorrow. Commerce. on the other hand.
would suffer only trifiing disturbance
II all the social standards in the country
were turned upside down. People must
eat. and they must sleep. and they must
have shelter and they must marry and be
given In marriage; and so long as the
world stands like will seek like when it
comes to social relations. Despots have
tried to enforce tie mixing of elements
socially opposed to each other. and 1t
never worked at all. The relation be-
tween the various races which inhabit
this country is primarily one of demand
and supply-of business. Social stand
ards can. in the end, have little to do
with the settlement of any such problem
The strongest will survive, and there IS
no especial need of any artificial propping
or bolstering of the weaker, because It
can do no good. and cannot in the end
be effective. Meanwhile. to get into
temper over the argument. and allow ones
emotions to enter into it. simply Greater
q fog OF talk and obscures tie real issue.

In the event the Republicans OF Kansas

The Modern Jeremiahs.

We are all eaten up by innumerable germs
SO the psychologists say,
They denounce in unmeasured, unqualified terms
The food that eat every day.
The air that we breathe and the water we drink,
The clothes that and the thoughts that think
Are all full of microbes, and we on the brink
OF becoming their sport and their prey.
Our grandfathers knew not of microbes at all,
SO the psychologists say.
They did their housekeeping in spring and in fall,
For most unsuspectng were they.
They knew not of germicides acids or smoke
Fumigation they might have considered a joke
And about disinfectants person eer spoke
For that was their ignorant way.
We sterilze water, and milk, and all that,
In this luminous, wellinformed day;
We dsnfect everything, down to the cat
land that last job we found didn't pay;
We sit around waiting for germs to come back,
Or for microbes to take some mysterious tack,
And wonder sometimes if ifes quite so black
As the psychologists say.

THE PROSPECT OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
BY JOHN GRAHAM BROOKS,
of the American Social Science Association.

While the American Social
Science Association makes for
peace so far as any properly or
ganized educational propaganda
can make for peace, in that it rep
resents not only the employer and
employed, but especially the social
point of view that includes both
the employer and the employed. It
is purely an educational institu-
ton for the discussion of social
problems.
As to the prospect for industrial

Correction and the Prison Asso-
citation of the United States are
offspring of the parent body.
The aim of the association has
been TO discuss freely and thor
oughly each and every phase of
current social problems. Although
il has refrained from committing
itself as body to any particular
theory or method of social reform
and progress, the discussions held
by the association have to very
great extent solved many of the
existing problems. along the lines
of social and economic reform and
development.

peace, so far rs educ ton tells. so
far the work of the American
Social Science Association, and the
discussion of social and economic
problems is effective. I think the
present prospects of industrial
peace are splendid. but the real
tests are yet to come, during
the periods of depression. AS it is
now, everything points to indus
trial peace, and a continuation of
this most blessed condition of af-
fairs.
