GET RICH SLOW.

Countless men and women in the
United States and other parts of the
world as well, have come serious crop
pers during the past decade in trying
to get rich quick. Any number of
promoters of schemes that have been
advertised as being certain to bring
about such desirable ends are now
Ianguishing in jails and prisons with
plenty of leisure time to think it over
MANY victims of these promoters are
carving around lean pOcketbooks
that once were fat. Actual suffering
has been caused in many instances be-
cause the savings of lifetimes have
been dissipated in this fashion. Efforts
to get rich quick, therefore, have not
the earmarks of being worth while.
Getting rich slow, though, is a sure
PROPOSITION. There are various ways
to do SO. But a new one has been sug
gested recently that is certainly safe
one. 1t ought to appeal to whole
lot Of folk who crave the possession of
a bank roll of goodly proportions at
some period of their existence on this
mundane sphere. It comes from the
New England states, as might be ex-
pected, where the stern frugality that
was forced on the Pilgrim Fathers,
still hobs up occasionally in their less
distinguished descendants.
Perhaps it is never wise for news
paper to suggest to its readers any
manner for the investment of their
surplus funds for the purpose of
steering them on their way to a for
tune. But the best of rules have their
exceptions, so no compunction is felt
under the circumstances IN calling at
tention to a plan to accumulate a for
tune that is as safe and sure as has
ever been devised.
A church and the town of GOthen,
Mass, in which the church is located
have suddenly had considerable
wealth thrust upon them through the
operation of this scheme And this is
how that wealth was developed. When
one of the residents of the town and
parishioner of the church in question
died some time back, he laid aside a
fund of 500, which with its accumu-
lations was to be divided among the
church and town just one hundred
years from the time the will was pro-
bated. That time limit expired the
other day. The town of Goshen and
the church had $4,000 to divide be-
tween them.

there have been 'about one death to

Be not overcome of evil but overcon
evil with good. Romans XII p.


Returning good for evil is a mag
nificent doctrine, a really beautiful
one It's a precept that's particularly
easy to preach. 1t appeals to most
folk, except those who are so uncivil-
lied as to know no God that is not
typified by craven images Nearly
everybody believes it is wen worth De-
ing lived up to-as being the proper at
titude for them to assume But easy
as it is to preach, attractive as is the
appreciation of it's merits. it is far
from being easy Of accomplishment and
fulfinment regardless of the inclina-
tons in that direction.
There is considerable Of the brute
animal in human beings. This prob
ably helps to explain the fact that most
people do not appear to be able to over
look the evils and injuries that are
done them. Any one who has had the
slightest experience with dumb beasts
knows that they can be annoyed and
bothered just so far. Like the pro-
verbal worm, when the limit of their
patience has been reached, they VIII
turn. They will scratch, kick, or bite as
the case may be. SO it is with men
and women. Most of them will put up
with much annoyance from acquaint-
ances and friends as well as foes But
a. Doint is generally reached at which
the neutrality-suspicious. Individual on
earth will rebel. This seems to be per-
fectly natural and right for no one
should permit himself to be unduly Inn
nosed upon. But the next step almost
always is to pay back the injuries ana
evils with their own kind, and with
heavy interest if it is possible to add
it on.
Such tendencies or desires as thess
should be constantly fought by every
one in the same way as are the tempta~
tions of the world, which abound on
every hand. The only way to properly
fight these evil things is with good
And the only way to repay them Is
through the extension of compassion
and forgiveness. The satisfaction that
Is gained in returning evil for evil Is
of +hA most unsatisfactory sort. 1t Is
short lived. It makes for unpleasant
recollectious and bitter memories,
those despoilers of contentment and
happiness. On the other hand, the re-
navment of evil with good, is extremely
satisfying. 1t is ennobling. As st'
Paul told the Romans: IF thine enemy
hunger feed him; if he thirst give him
drink"
Admittedly, such admonitions as
these are difficult to follow. But the
difficulties which surround their prac-
tiee should really be the spurs to drive
people on to do their level best in per-
forming them-to turn the left cheek
when the right has been smitten.

Freedom of the Air.

That code of the air spoken of in the
dispatches from Paris the other day
as having been adopted by the Inter
national Air Congress" is interesting
and important as far as it goes. I'm
fortunately for the international con-
troll OF the doings of the aviators, it
does not go very far. For in the first
place the Congress has no official
status whatever, being nc more than
a voluntary group of international
lawyers interested in aviation and
awake to the increasing need of a
body Of international law governing
the subject Thus far the consensus
among these interested exr erts tends
to the view that the air is not free"
in the sense that states should yield
control over aerial traffic. And this
point having been pretty generally
agreed upon, they have confined their
efforts to the framing OF such regula-
tions as shall protect society from the
operations of irresponsible and uncon-
trolled navigators Of the air.
So far as the need for control has
been translated into actual legislation,
attention has thus far been confined
mainly to these points. Prussia, for
example, forbids flights ove~ populated
centerS, and in so far asserts the prin
ciple that the sovereignty of the state
which, beyond certain definite dis
lance from the shore, belongs to no
which, beyond a certain definite dis
lance from the short, belongs to no
one On the other hand, the preli-
minery laws enacted by Great Britain,
and the various projects Of legislation
pending before American state legis-
latures, are mainly concerned with
the registration and 1icersin of avia-
tors to the end that responsibility for
damage may be fixed with the least
possible difficulty for complication
There was a time when it was ser
iously contended that the jurisdiction
of a state extended no further than it
was able to enforce its DEGREES. and
as it is now possible for an aircraft to
sail aloft above the reach of writ or
summons, or even of projectiIes, it was
supposed that the freedom of the air
was a fact as well as a theory. But
it Is being recognized moro generally
that for their own protection, if for
no other reason, nations ought to as
sert their right to the larger jurisdic-
ton, and to make such regulations in
restriction of the rights of airmen as
may be necessary for self-protection.
For the analogy of the sea does not
apply. A ship may be cast ashore
without doing any damage to the coun-
try, but the airship which has lost
its buoyancy is bound to fall on some
thing. and it's chances of DANA ing
the things or the persons upon whom
it falls are excellent.-Philadelp
Public Ledger.
