POSSESSION OF FRIENDSHIP
MEANS GIVING FRIENDSHIP
One Must Be Loyal and Not Merely Sentimental, Giving Proof Of
Affection in Real Service and ThOughtfuIneSS.

HE way to have a friend is tob be a friend. Life is made up to most of
us of little things, and many a friendship withers through sheer
- neglect. Hearts are ahenated because each is waiting for son great
occasion for displaying affection. The great spiritual value of friendship is
the opportunity it affords for service, and if these are neglected 1t is only to
be expected that the gift should be taken from us.
friendship which begins with sentiment will lot live and thrive OF senti-
ment There must be loyalty, which finds expression in service. 1t is lot the
greatness OF the help or the intrinsic valueo of the gift which gives it worth,
but thu evidence it is OIL owe and thougmfulness
Attention to detail is the secret of success in every sphere of life, and
little kndneses little acts of condderateness, little appredations, little con-
hdences, are all that most of III are called on to perform, and they are all
that aren needed to keep a friendship sweet
If W e neve show our kind feeling what guarantee has u friend, or even
oursef, that it exists?
If there has com to us the miracle of friendship, if there is a soul to
which u soul has been drawn, 1t is surely worth while being loyal and
true.

A MIGHTY NATIONAL INFLUENCE.

Annual sessions of the Governors of States. meeting with the President of
the United States to discuss great questions relating to the natural resources
and development and interstate relations will be of great public benefit
They will stimulate a $ we'll Is instruct legislative representatives and educate
the people, as well az keep alive the popular interest. 1t has been sufficiently
shown that the great resources of the country are in danger If exhaus-
ton. Congress has been both extrava CANT and neglectful, and it will con
tinue to be so unless tn mighty power OF a educated public sentiment car
be brought to bear pom it. That is what the conference at Washington
means The Governors car themselves do nothing, and their conference would
amount to nothing but for the effect upon the minds and conscences of the
millions of voters in the country.

Mr.. Frewen spent sometime last win
ter and spring in Washington, urging
upon both Congress and the cabinet
the importance Of a recognition Of the
rapidly increasing divergence between
the gold prices of the Orient and the
silver prices.
MFR. Frewen was given a courteous
hearing and he was insistent on point
ing out the fact that within the past
decade here had been an unexampled
rise in gold prices and especially in the
United States, with a consequent in
crease in wages and the cost of living,
while ON the other hand. the silver ru-
pee. the money of 800, 000,0 900 people in
Asia had remained stationary, with the
consequence that there had been a
marked falling Off in exports to Asiatic
countries both from England and the
United States. He contended that the
Inevitable result must be the rapid
clleapening Of Asiatic labor as compar-
ed with European and American la
bor with the consequence that in the
end many articles which are now man
ufactured in this country and Great
Britain would be made fl the Orient
and shipped back here, thus reversing
the present economic conditions. This
he said must result because OF the de-
preciated price of Asiatic silver in gold
standard countries which reduces the
purchasing power of the Orient in buy
iEg our products.
During his stay in Washington, Mr..
Rrewen addressed Il letter to Rep. j..
w. Weeks of Massachusetts. who is a
har of IA a nliro nd r,j.r nI-
committee of the House and also of the
present monetary commission in which
he outlined his plans for an iprove-
ment in the exchange rate. In this let
ter he urged the adoption by the Unit
ed States and Great Britain of what is
known as the Goschen plan for the pur-
chase of more silver. The Goschen plan
originated with Lord Goschen in 1891
when he was chancellor of the British
eXchequer in Lord Salisbury's govern
ment. He was d strong monOmetallist
but he suggested the establishment of
a strong central gold reserve in Great
Britain to be composed of gold collect
ed from the public by the issuance of
small paper notes to be redeemed i'll
silver and to be made legal tender for
only SO. The English silver advocates
of the time prevented the adoption of
the suggestion, but Mr. Frewen ad-
mitS in his letter to Mr. Weeks that
they We're short sighted in this course
and he now urgently presses the adop-
ton of the plan both in this country
and in his.
III his interviews here Mr.. Frewen
expressed the opinion that If the gov
eminent of the United States would
make the Goschen plan basis for a
proposal to the British government
the proposal would be expedited with
alacrity, and perhaps by Germany
also
1t is probable that Mr.. Frewen will
be afforded an opportunity to outline
his views before the monetary commits
