ROOSEVELT SPEAKS WELL.


In his speech To the Harvard alumni
Mr. Roosevelt referred happily 20 the
great regard Tor the United states
which he had everywhere found In
Europe. but frankly admitted having
encountered "a certain dishoartened
sense that we had not come up TO OUT
ideals" He specified the instances Of
our political corruption and brute
matorialism" and the undue Difference
paid TO wealth as the chief causes Of
the discouragement OF our European
well-wishors. But none OF these things
is new. They have been dwelt upon By
our foreign critics from the beginning
These evils may have become lntensi-
fed or more magnihed by the press, but
It cannot be solely their existence
which has caused a new feeling that
America has fallen away from her
early ideal II the entire truth were
to be told we think that what has
caused a Kind Of dismay on the part
Of those in Europe who so long point
ed to our democracy as hopeful
model was not touched upon by Mr..
Roosevelt 1t Is the sudden up-rush OF
our military expenses, unul they are
now relatively heavier than in any
country in Europe; the unexpected
turn Of American democracy towards
foreign conouests and the holding OF
subject colonies: the foolish embracing
Of the notion that we cannot be q
world Power without mighty arma-
ments and n show Of irresistible force
behind Irresistible reason. This is the
kind OF thing which has really done
most to shatter the old European Ideal

A trip to Bird Island. some SO miles
from Saltalr reveals 10 the observant
eve an unsurpassed panorama Of some
OF natures finest paintings. Phenom-
ena Of rare scientific interest. OF mar

associations that appeal strongly TO

TAKING A VACATION.

The vacation season Is here again.

haunting the ticket offices and denud-
ing the rack Of It's elusive folders in
search OF surcease from heat. worry
and nervous Ills Happy is the man
whose wife is OF the same mind as he
on things pertaining to the ideal vaca
ton.
Too often the man has visions OF a
cool mountain stream foaming beneath
the foliage that bedecks the canyon
while his helpmeet has a fashionable
resort picked out in her minds eye as
the ideal place TO spend a vacation.
Both In measure are right. To
each the individual selection would be
an ideal vacation. The man who for
eleven months has rubbed shoulders
with his kind would seek quiet and Sc
clusion; the woman who during the
same period has spent many days at
home. longs for gaiety and small talk.
II they go on a vacation one will be
miserable in whichever lot is selected.
But. happily all are not blessed with
plethoric pocketbooks and all women
do not sigh for willow plumes and rat
tan chairs on the shady porch OF the
summer hotel.
The dictionary tells us that n vaca-
ton Is a period of intermission, as from
regular business; rest; leisure With
this definition In view vacation should
be planned
How many do take an ideal vacation?
Is IL not fact that many Of us are
prone to plan our holiday months ahead
and when the reprieve from the daily
toll is signed, sealed and delivered. we

with an overdraft Of the bank TO greet
us?
Every individual has his own idea Of
what constitutes a holiday. but it Is
generally accepted that a change In oc-
cupation and daily routine is a good
tonic for a run down man or woman.
a change is as good as a rest, is an
old adage that stin holds good. We
recall man whose boast II was that
the best vacation he ever took was
when he stayed home and painted his
house. got acquainted with his family
and took them with him on short drives
up adjacent canyons.
Each 10 his taste.
In the meantime the head Of the
house is not the only individual en-
titled to a vacation.

FAITH AND THE PHYSICIAN.
Chicago Record Herald

Does the profession OF medicine en-
Joy less Of public confidence and es-
TEEN than formerly DR.. George f.
Butler of Chicago, writing In the New
York Medical Journal, seems 20 think
so. He believes that doctors have been
devoting too much attention to the
study OF disease and not enough 10 the
suffering individual. He maintains
that the present practise OF medicine
has too little regard for anything be-
yond mans physical being, whereas
mental moral and spiritual diseases
far outnumber those of the physical
body. These views will enjoy the dis
tinguished hacking of DR.. William
Osler, who, in the latest issue OF the
British Medical Journal, comes out
frankly In favor OF the faith cure.
Faith. he says is an essential factor
I'm the practise Of medicine. Mental
healing he declares, may have great
value when carefully and scientifically
applied in suitable cases. With the
proper environment OF faith, in an at
mosphere OF optimism and cheer, tho
hospital may perform the services OF a
pilgrimage-shrine, the inirmary may
become a Lourdes.
