Dat. Situation is Weak.

Oats are in an unusual position. The
same conditions which placed country
merchants in such an embarrassing
position during the harvest period is
counting very seriously now against
the marketing of the grain. The oats
were too poor to grade contract in the
Chicago market. and they are now
proving too poor to satisfy consumers.
Their feeding value is so low that they
require mixture with other grains to
be of any value in sustaining live stock.

had least forgotten his Hebrew, would
be requisitioned to interpret. One of
the things in modern life that he
would understand is why, in the face
of the admittedly heather condition Of
millions who ought to be Christians,
the Bishop of London is so keen about
converting the GOd-fearing and law
abiding Jews. There is story told
which meets the Bishop of London S
Wall street question very fittingly. An
old lady was very generous to the So
ciety for the Propagation of the Cos
pei among the Jews, and was the es-
pecially favored parishioner of her
parsOn, who was as ardent CONVEX
sionist as the Bishop of London could
desire. In her last illness she grew
very restless and sent for Il Rabbi,
whom she paid fee to teach her
few words of conversational Hebrew.
This came to the ears of the vicar, who
was very disturbed and who called to
demonstrate. ''How is it., he asked,
THAT you spend so much time with

II Jesus Came to Wall Street

The Bishop of London preached Il
sermon based on the interesting ques-
ton as to what would Jesus say IT
he came to Wall street - The first
question of this kind was asked in ref
erence to Chicago. and after that it
was applied to other great cities, Lon
don among the number, the inference
always being that the impressions OF
Jesus would be, to say the least, hard
ly satisfactory. Reports have not told
us what, in the opinion OF DR.. Ingram,
would be the comment OF Jesus on the
conditions of Wall street. But would

Anti.Semitism in Hotels

1t is well known that in some sea-
side resorts, Il petty anti-Semitism
prevails, which results in efforts of
the hotels to discourage Jewish c'ls-
tom by making inordinate charges
when Jew applies. Unhappily,
there are Jews stupid enough to pay
them, in order that they can boast of
having stayed at some exclusive hos
telry. An excellent story is told about
wealthy Hebrew who determined to
put up at one of these fashionable ho-
tells. 81 am sorry" said the clerk.

the register, q" | have nothing that will

"Only a small room on the tenth

quoted double the ordinary tariff.

Hebrew A few days after he APP
peared at the office again and asked
whether there was not suite of rooms
on the first floor vacant. The clerk
glumly confessed there was. "Tfow
much ?" said the Jew. The clerk, anX-
iOus not to let him the suite, named a
price four times as much as he would
have asked nOn-Jew. "Well. said
the Jew, ''gucss I'll have to take it. y
Next day he approached the clerk
again. "Say" he said, 81 have de-

The Cowardice Of Silence

Proverbs are the small language
coin of all nations. but they are not
all pure metal. Some have larger
proportion of alloy than others. but
nearly all contain more or less in the
admiXtrre of wit and wisdom. 1t is
not true that silence always gives con-
sent, as frequently it signifies an in
ward smothered protest. II quiet but
dangerous resistance to acts and
principles proclaimed or reiterated.
1t is perhaps the most significant
mode of exhibiting dissent. The omi-
nous silence of bodies of men brood
ing over wrong or stung by justice is
sign more potent than violent out
cries and denunciations. Unpopular
rulers see in this sign the presence of
concealed enmity, violence and rebel
lion. Therefore in Il very real sense
silence does not give consent. but ac-
cents opposition i'm a manner sinister
and unmistakable.
Still from another point of view
the old proverb is true enough. ST.
lence. though not signifying approba-
ton, may at least indicate II passive
and unheroic attitude of mind just
as pcrnicious as open approval. 1t is
the cowartlly refuge of a weak, timid.
and time-serving, pcrmissive OF a
thousand injuries that brave atti-
tude and outspoken courage might
help to abolish. Under this cOnspir
acy of silence. this bond of union ac
knowledged but uneXpressed, thieves
and robbers of all descriptions, po-
litical, predatory. and social, take
refuge. The dark secret web of wrong
and outrage is woven. Laws are de-
fed or circumvented. officials are
bribed. corruption spreads and insti-
tutions are not proof against the
steadily creeping evil that corrodes
society.
From this point of view silence does
give consent to moral blight that
proper courage and resistance might
have checked, until the community is
honeycombed by its influence. ST.
lence may. therefore. become as sinful
and pernicious as deeds of violence.
may bind a town, a city or Il state in
conspiracy intangible. hard to
reach, but very real in its baleful eff
fectS.
1t is. therefore. well to consider how
much harm we may do by keeping
still when brave attack on the prince
of the powers of the air is demanded
of every one whose moral sense is not
drugged or blighted by selfish con-
siderations. Thus, when the taint

spreads, public opinion becomes value
less and impotent, and an open field
is left to the eXplOiters of mems lower
passions and aims.
Silence is a secret behind which
weak natures hide, feeling that, if
they shut their eyes to what is gong
on. they are not personally RESPONSE
bic. They are passive Instruments of
wrong by the consent of dumbness: :
and, sitting snug and warm at home
the world may go to perdition for all
of them, if so it must.
The same cOwardly instinct is seen
in social matters, where dissent from
popular standards may bring with it
some personal disadvantage. The
bumptious, foolishly argumentative.
disputatious person is of course Il
nuisance, but the brave man or wo-
man who stands up sturdily for prin-
ciple and will not yield an inch is the
salt of the earth.
Society needs courage in large guam
titles. What has been accomplished
for the good of humanity has come
largely through this noble impulse of
daring for the right. The world has
thousands of truckers and time-serv-
ers to one really brave soul. Society
would ignore conventions, but God
demands true, strong word. If we
have a conviction burning in us, let
us not be ashamed or afraid to utter
it. 1t may meet with frowns and
averted looks. but it will still go
straight to the mark. A moral shock
is form of conversion. Like the elec-
tric current it prints a truth on the
heart. Let us have less worship of
success and more of moral truth and
dignity. Let us be among those who
do not bow the knee to Baal.
In religion the brave word, the
frank avowal, the honest proclama-
ton of unpopular or questionable
principles. is demanded. The men,
bers of little sect whose aims and
ideals are often misunderstood, who
may have excited the animosity of the
pre.jud;ced and the ignorant. have the
opportunity of manifesting a noble
outspoken courage. They are under
obligation to show the truth that it is
in them, to. reveal the grounds of
faith. to dissipate the darkness of
minds that view them through mist
of suspicion and distrust.
1t is not only privilege, it is a
duty to be outspoken as to the things
they believe and the things they reject.
They have no right to shelter them
selves under cloud of silence, as if
ashamed of the grand and humaniz-
ing principles of their faith. 1t is a
sacred duty to show their colors. not
aggressively, but with the power and
insistence of conviction. If people
are in error as to what we believe.
have we not call to dissipate that
error as far as in us lies, to show how
noble structure is the temple of our
religion. how beautiful and simple its
rites? We are here to spread truth
as far as we can, and to disseminate
light. How can we shelter ourselves
from merited reproach if we neglect
this sacred duty!

heart failure.
He was born in Philadelphia, Pa,
in February, 1916. Afterwards, when
a child, he removed to Ottawa,
Canada, where he resided until he was

country what it is.
He had a wide circle of friends and
acquaintance, especially among the

NEW FACTORY
A SUCCESS
The Keller Manufacturing Co.'s
New Plant in Joplin, Mo-, Com
pIeted. and Company Make
First Shipment Of over
100 Wagons.

The Joplin Daily Globe of December
16 contains the following enthusiastic
account of the success of the Keller
Manufacturing Co., in establishing
their wagon factory at that place:
Ground broken March 26.
First wheels of machinery turned
October 10.
First shipment of wagons December
49,.
The foregoing is the record of the
Keller Manufacturing Company,
whose president, Henry Keller, came
to Joplin eight months ago. seeking a
new field for a great enterprise and
and who, being favorably impressed
by the advantages offered by South
west Missouri and Joplin, determined
to engage here in the manufacture
and distribution of wagons of various
design, including the "KelIer
wagon" described by Mr.. Keller him
self as the best in the world. "Way
up in g." he says, with an enthusiasm
which is contagious.
Yesterday workmen at the plant OF
the Keller Manufacturing Company
on West Fourth street, near the city
limits, were engaged in loading the
first consignment of the finished pro-
duct of the concern, a car of fifty
vehicles, which were forwarded last
night to the John Deere Pillow Com
pany, Omaha, Neb. The first car,
No. 1912, bears upon its sides in fam
ing letters the inspiring inscription
from, commercial point of view,
"Keller Manufacturing Company,
Joplin, No." testimonial to the
great commercial world that Joplin,
the town that jack built, is on the
map, that the city and the district is
tending more and more to become q
region OF diversified Industries and
emphasizes the fact that Joplin's
greatest manufacturing enterprise is
success, that the Kellers have made
good on the promises which only a
few months ago sometimes were
characterized as visionary.

Mrs. Boobar carried five grades for

gained the consent of the board to
divide the main room downstairs,
giving Mrs. Boobar two grades and
the other teacher two. He carried
the balance to the end OF that year.
Mr.. Cook remained two years longer,
and brought the school up to regular

following him could easily arrange
for high school department. Mr..
Cook left to take a position in the
Carriers business college of Mime
apolis.
He was man OF spotiess character
and life, the soul of honor. He
trusted bis teachers and scholars,
and they trusted him. Perfect har-
mony existed between principal,
teachers and school board, through
his whole administration. The board
at that period was composed of men
who we're interested and progressive.
They considered nothing too expensive
if il looked toward the betterment OF
our children's education. They were:
Col. Bridgeman, FL. A. Boobar, father
Of our postmaster, L. E. Tubbs, L.

Always on the alert to help the
teachers; never so engrossed in their
business that they couldn't spend
time to visit the school. They knew
just what was being done. Their
interest was communicated to the
school patrons, and a record of one
hundred twenty-five visitors in one
month was not unusual. So ac-
customed were the pupils to visitors
that it caused not ripple OF excite

Prof. Cook was a strict disciplinarian
and a stickIer for punctuality. He
preferred to mark a pupil absent for q
quarter of 3 day; to tardy for five
minutes.

school what he accomplished in his
