FROM OTHER PENS

| LESSONS FROM THE TITANIC.
| While the loss of 1000 lives was a
| heavy toll to pay for the carelessness
/ that resulted in the sinking of the IT,
tanic, there is now no doubt that the
| experience derived from the disaster
| is having a telling effect. Not only
| have the ocean liners changed their
| course to a more southerly route, but
! they are lessening their speed, i'm
proving their life-saving devices, ele-
waiting the standard of their crews and
adopting other precautions for the
safety of their passengers Incidental
| ly, the United States is playing it's part
in the crusade for the safety of per-
sons at sea. Carrying coal sufficient
for several weeks, the scout cruiser,
Birmingham, has left the Philadelphia
navy yard for a point just south of the
Grand Banks, where she will warn yes
sells of the danger from icebergs.
The Birmingham is equipped with wire~
less capable Of carrying 1000 miles.
and will send out signals at frequent
intervals, giving the latitude and lon
gitude of icebergs in the path of ocean
steamers. If the Birmingham's expe-
dition proves successful, it is likely
that the United States will take steps
to establish an international patrol in
the danger zone. In justice to the
White Star line, which owned the IT,
tanic, and which has been severely
criticized for the carelessness that re-
suited in the loss of so much life.
1t must be admitted that the officials
of that line are doing all in their pow
err to right whatever wrongs have been
done. It is impossible for the officials
to change the standard of the crew OF
the Titanic, or to put more lifeboats on
that vessel now that is at the bottom
of the sea- What it is possible for the
officials to do, however. is to see to it
that the same conditions are not per-
mitted on other vessels owned by the
Post.
LABOR ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
In ratifying the agreement drawn up
by their representatives in conference
with the mine owners, the anthracite
coal workers have done a service to
themselves as well as the public. In
deciding to stand by their leader and by
such acts as these leaders. act
ing within their authority have sub
scribed to, the mine workers have Civ
en- an example of discipline +-hich au-
gurs well for their future as a labor
organization. On small scale we have
here a repetition of what happened in
the convention of the British miners
called to decide upon the cessation of
the strike after the passage of the
bill. In that conven-
ton the sentiment against peace was
probably in the majority, but the dele
gates had to face the fact that most
VI lueH leduSIS advocated peace, ana
they followed. If organized labor hopes
to attain its ultimate aims, it must en-
deavor to make itself diciplined army
A mob may gain a temporary advant-
age, but that is all. The Reputation
Of union leaders and duly formulated
agreements which is so common in in
dustrial disputes, can only initiate
against the best interests of labor. The
mob always considers itself "betrayed''
by its captains. A good fighting army.

says UNCLE CAV

A lot of folks who aren't afraid of
the devil are scared to death of hob
COLLINS. The absurdity of their case
lies in the fact that no hobgoblin ever
existed outside of a disordered brain.
Most of our troubles-our big ones
are imaginary, and we've got better
use for our imaginations than making
them a breeding ground for evil spir-
it's.
Much of our difficulty comes from
an ingrown habit of introspection. The
world is full of neurotics who are con-
stantly poking around in that dusk
cloaked region of ragged odds and
ends which we call human mind in
search of a soul or personality or
something of that sort that can take
care of itself if we feed it properly
and don't insist upon picking 1t to
pieces to find out what it is made of.
For our pains in exploring this twi-
light zone we alright ourselves with
such company of gnomes, ogres,
wraiths ghosts and whatnotS as to
did not our daily tasks intervene to
get our eyes off the horrible phantas-
magoria.
These things are the fruits of over
much introspection, which amounts
to mental cannibalism. The subjective
life was ever an unhealthy and in un-
natural one. To live bravely, Sanely
and healthily,- one must deal with
actualities To deal with actua1tleS
is to live obiectively-to "get out of
ones self"
The greatest healer, the one cure
all for fancied troubles, and most real
ones, is work; next to work, lively
interest in the things about US. There is
balm for the ghost plagued soul in the
message of the eyes; solace In the d.
verting communications of the ears.
There is neither health nor happiness
in shutting up both and living within
ones self
Be your theory what you will-mind
and soul or merely mind, there is no
profit in mental or spiritual vivisec-
ton. Our mental and spiritual eyes
turn even as our physical eyes-our
mental and spiritual appet1tes are
whetted for externals, even as the
cravings of our stomachs. In its last
analysis habitual introspection is de-
generacy and the end Is Death

SHORT SIGHTED KANSAS.
II, as seems but too likely, Professor
Hoad is allowed to leave his own
school for the University of Michigan.
1t will simply be one more case in
which Kansas has prepared an eff
cient worker only to let another state
have the benefit of his services. OF
course, Michigan is an older commun-
ity. 1t is to be expected that funds
for the payment Of trained public SER
wants will be more easily Forthcoming
there than here. 1t is to be expected
too, that the need of trained service
will be more widely recognized there
than here And yet, why should not
state that knows enough to train
efficient public workers be far-sighted
enough to reap the rewards of it's own
labors? What would be thought of a

ford to harvest it?-Lawrence Journal
