The Faith of Their Mothers.

Trapped in a living tomb at Cherry,
face to face with death, the esource
that buoyed the hearts and sustained
the spirits of the grim and r~ough-lived
miners was the simple faith of their
childhood, learned at their mothers
knee. Laughter there was none,
though it has been said thai it is most
American to be IN laughing terms
with destiny. Profanity there was
none, though in the daily walks of
life coarse and violent speech had been
a habit. AS in the camp Of the SOL
diers under the guns of the Malakoff,
immortalized by the poet Bayard Tay-
lor, the men in the subdued voice of
the stricken cried, Give us a song"
And no popular ditty was their choice
in that pit of darkness and of death,
no frivolous tinkle of concert hall or
street; but instead, with a solemnity
and a power peculiar to male voices,
they sang the prayerful hymn, Abide
with me, fast falls the eventide." And
II brought TO their troubled breasts
the calm and peace Of a Sabbath twi-
light at home.
Similarly, when the passengers of
the Valencia were thrown into the
death waters of Vancouver, they
burst forth into the soul-stirring
strains of Nearer my God to Thee"
and the jubilant voices sounded clear
and high above the rush of angry
waters till the last victim was swept
into silence from the bit Of wreckage
where he chung. At the ANAL desper-
ate stand the human heart involun-
tarily turns, no matter what its life
career. with a ready trustfulness in
the faith OF the mothers.
Yet not only in sudden extremity is
this faith a source OF consolation and
hope. We all have known lives that
because of ~steadfast devotion to their
early faith have been able to surmount
years Of yicissitudes with tranquility.
One woman Of So years, whose personal
life has been filled with afiictions and
who has had no earthly measure OF
affection since she lost her husband
and her sons. has. nevertheless. kept
her spirit so golden in her faith that
she is ever now compiling a volume Of
experiences designed TO convey the
gospel of sunshine 10 those weary of
life's burdens.

A Lull In the Reoruitinp.

We regret to report that the recruit
ing Of Mr.. Brysn's army of tariff re-
form seems to have encountered a sud
den and unexpected lull. At any rate,
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner has ceased
publishing. although perhaps only tem-
porarily, further responses from dem
ocratic congressman who we're solicited
to put themselves on record on the
tariff program proposed by Mr.. Bryan,
which he evidently wanted made the
democratic slogan in mex years con-
gressional elections.
It seems that scarcely a bakers
dozen of the democratic members Of
congress have deigned even to answer
the appeal sent out by Mr.. Bryan for a
letter Of endorsement. And even the
few who have answered disclose such
wide variation of opinion that the pos
sibility of ever getting the army to
march in step seems decidedly remote.
The strange part of the performance
is that while Mr.. Sulzer of Tammany
hall came in first as color bearer in the
great cause Of reform, only one Of the
three democratic congressman from
Mr.. Bryan's home state has SO far
signed up his enlistment papers.
The Bryan program calls for free
admission of all raw materials and
products handled by trusts and a grad
ual reduction of all other tariff duties
down to 25 per cent. But this plainly
does not offer any common ground for
the various kinds of democrats to
stand on. 1t develops that there are
democrats who believe in absolute free
trade as a Divine right, democrats who
favor a revenue tariff only, democrats
who want luXuries taxed and neces-
saries %untaxed, and democrats who are
out for all the protection they can get
for their own constituencies. Had
there been any possibility of harmonic
ing the democrats on a tariff program
in the extra session of congress it
to have formulated a democratic tariff
bill and to have offered it as a substi-
tute for the republican tariff bill. The
very fact that no attempt was made to
let the people know what kind of a
tariff they would have gotten II the
democrats were in control is conclusive
proof that the tariff program proposed
by Mr.. Bryan cannot be made the test
of democratic faith.

Exporting Absentee Incomes.

New York World.
It is reckoned that this country must
send abroad nearly $6Oe, 100000 a year as
interest or debts and dowries, for tourist
expenses and in immigrants remittances.
So there was a shortage last year Of about
$225, OO0, 900 and Of $3.50, 0OO. 600 in nine months
this year, BY fresh borrowing the inter
est payment has thus increased in two
years by some $24, OOO, 900. The extensive
customs house frauds make 1t likely that
even this vast shortage is understated.
To pay interest upon the dowries of six
American women 2O,OOO.OO0 pounds of cot
ton must cross the sea this year. To pay
the rentals OF one absentee landlord Of
New York will take 5000 900 bushels Of
wheat. Tourists and health seekers trips
help the country by promoting trade
abroad and bringing back information; but
when to the growth of extravaganza and
to the waste of an artificially heightened
cost of living is added the burden OF
supporting American colonies in Euro
pean capitals, the balance of trade is af-
fected with no corresponding advantage.

Simplifioation.

The recent speech of President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton earn
estly advocates that election reform be
directed towards simplification of the
ballot. 1--WE give the voter" he says,
80 many persons to vote for that the
ballot becomes a complicated thing
which he has not time himself to pre-
pare, and which he cannot thoroughly
understand after it has been prepared
for him by the professional politician"
To reinforce what he declares to be
the objections to the present system
DIR. Wilson cites one ballot he has seen
which contained the names Of 700 can
didates printed in compact columns
much larger than the single sheet of a
The ballots devised even
by ballot reformers throughout the
country" he adds, differ from this ex-
traordinary ballot only in the number
of names, which run from the scores to
the hundreds" Nebraska voters who
remember the horrors of the official
ballot used in the late statewide pri-
mary, under the wide-open primary
law inflicted by the late democratic
legislature, could almost imagine that
President Wilson had their plight in
mind. To people who have had expert
ence with such confusing election ma
chinery this conclusion should particu-
larly appeal:
II is plain that the way of reform lies
in the direction Of simplification. If the
voter is to know what he is about, the num-
Der of persons he is to be called upon to
vote for must be reduced to a minimum.
When 1t is so reduced both nomination
and election will become direct, simple

Corporations and Individuals.

From the comment made by former
Senator Clark of Montana on the
Standard Oil decision, it is evident that
he has no sympathy with large corpor-
ate ag%gregations of capital, but that
instead, he would have all enterprises
operated through individual control,
The proposal to fix individual respon-
sibility for corporations has been made
repeatedly, but this is probably the
first serious suggestion from a multi
might well be abolished altogether.
Mr.. Clark is fortunate in having
been able to handle his important in
terests so successfully on the strength
but wonder how long he would have
eschewed the corporation, had he un-
dertaken to extend his field. The
American oil industry could never have
enterprise If Mr.. Rockefeller had not
assembled corporate forces, nor could
Mr.. Hartman have developed the vast
railroad properties with which he was
identified, had it not been for the
amassing of corporate capital. How
would the individual raise the millions
required nowadays in any great enter
prise, If he had not the corporate Sc
%curities to pledge or dispose Of? There
is, of necessity, a limit even to corpor-
alton credit, but in present-day finance
the individual credit cuts relatively
still smaller figure, yet it is on credit
that the bulk of the worlds business
is transacted.
Individualism In important projects
is ~commendable as far as it may be
carried, but the burdens of commerce
have become too tremendous for even
the most powerful personal giant to at
tempt to carry alone. In these modern
days Of vast things, the corporation has
come to serve a useful purpose and it
can not be discarded until some other
equally or more servicable agency is
available.

Commenting on the quiet and con-
templative name with which they
were received by the president, a party
of young schoolgirls who visited the
White House during the week decided
among themselves that Mr.. Taft is
bashful. "A very nice man, but so
difident," was the way one Of them
put it.
Now, it is possible and probable that
the girls have misunderstood the presi-
dent, for It is a common fault for
them to misunderstood the masculine
attitude toward the wholesome fresh
ness and charm of girlhood such as
evidently graced this visiting galaxy.
Nothing more completely appeals
to the better nature of man than the
graces of girlhood at the period of
their most innocent outlook on life.
And almost invariably when a man is
thus impressed he is silently apprecia-
tive. Even though his difidence Of
utterance be mistaken for the awful
crime of bashfulness, still must he pay
devotion to the gracious spirit of girl
hood in silent reflection.
This is a masculine trait not COM
monty credited by woman, so that it is
not surprising that the White House
visitors referred to went away wonder
ing at the sudden silence of a chief

Other Timss. Other Manner.

Reviving the customs of a century
ago, one Of the social leaders in a large
American city recently celebrated a
fashionable debut with all the pomp
and ceremony Of the olden times.
Every little while some such reversion
is attempted from the forms and man
ners of the modern day, in the ~expecta-
ton that a special thrill of novelty
will be experienced or an additional
height Of happiness attained, yet, on
the whole, every revival of the sort
proves to be a disappointment.
The truth is, the glamour that has
been cast over the identity Of the good
old times is very largely a false me.
The fact that We have progressed be-
yond those customs is in itself sufh-
cient evidence that the allurement Of
the ancient days is largely a polite hc-
ton. The old ways served their turn
and were unto their day adequate, but
with the evolution of other affairs peo-
pie come TO a better understanding Of
the eternal fitness OF things, n in so
cial functions, as in all the amenities
Of life, they have entered upon an era
of good new times which suit the
modern temperament so completely
that the good old days have vanished
beyond more than an occasional luke
warm recall.

A very grave question in ethics is pre-
scented to all of the religious, charitable,
educational and scientific bodies that have
accepted Mr.. Rockefeller's money. They
may as well prepare to answer 1t. AS
Stunning that the United States supreme
court will sustain the circuit court in de-
