Application of Principle
How to Help Others.

The lesson told by it is 4 special
application of the principle that in
order to be a means of benefit to
others we need TO be rot only our
selves, but also the person that We
would uplift.
The man must be also boy and
have the feelings Of a boy if he
would make the boy a man. The
freeman must have a. sense of what
it means to be a captive if he would
help to enfranchise the captive.
The teacher must be able to real
lie in himself the limitations of his
pupil if he would be effective in
releasing the pupil from those lin.
itations.
This is just part Of the evan.
gelical conception of Christ, that
while remaining divine He had also
to become a man in order to redeem
man.
The truth depicted is great one
and Coffman has done it apprecia-
lively and well.

Mutterings of Another
Civil War Now Audible.


We had civil war half a century
ago, and the nlutterings Of another
civil war of an economic kind are
distinctly audible
And in some respects the war
that IS threatened now is.of lower
grade than that which we expe-
rienced in the sixties, for while that
was waged over a principle. this Is
war over dollar
This struggle. into the edge of
which we are already entered, IS
simply a quarrel over the division
of the spoils of labor,
There is not a redeeming feature
nor touch of nobility in the whole
business
1t is like the snarling of two dogs
over the division of a bone.
This Is not saying that there is
not involved question of rights
rights on both sides.
But in the last analysis the entire
scrimmage reduces itself to this,
that one side or the other-or both
wants more than belongs to it.
1t is simply the case on an en-
larged scale of two boys fighting
over bag of marbles each trying
to see how many he can get with
out much caring how many or how
few will be left for the other boy.

The Average Income
By A. G. CHITTICK.

"HE average income is sorely tried
In the struggle to make ends meet
To pay the wages of those who help,
And the bills for the food eat
For butter is up potatoes are up,
And meats never so dear;
But the average income just stands still,
Or else grows smaller each year.
The cook in the kitchen SKIS for more,
And so does the serving maid;
And then perforce, matter of course
The increase must be paid
we are told that coal is about to rise
The gas bills are twice as large
And for every strike which threatens the land
The consumer must. pay the charge
So. what are the people going to do,
And how are they going TO live
When the average income is stretched and st-ei-.s
Beyond what It's able to give2

And we propose to Show these British seamen if
necessary, by cutting their carrying trade down
to minimum IN favor of more careful lines and
more competent nationaities, that killing first
class passengers by neglect and earelessness. and
numbering third class passengers by locking them
below the decks can not be permanently profitable.

TT is indiscreet to put excessive
emphasis on the dark side of
things, and there Is just as lit
tie discretion in throwing upon the
dark side a light that is artificial
and, ostrichlike, to thrust our heads
into the sand and argue that be-
cause there is no enemy immediate
" in sight. therefore there is no en-
envy.
Because there is peace in our
homes, and the machinery of social
life continues to run without Jolt or
Jar we easily become insensible of
and therefore Indifferent to the
tempest that is brewing.
1t is very often the case that in
nature the sky is for a long time
full of sunshine, even after a storm
of great fury has begun to develop
near the horizon.
Certainly to the observant eye
the signs of tempest are already IN
the air, and to one who looks across
tn. world with a glance that takes
in the whole collective scene it is
not easv and II IS not reasonable to
maintain ones self in perfect Sc
renity of mind
1t is not simply that there IS
more or less of skirmishing going
on in our own country. as among
the miners and the textile workers,
or that Socialism is asserting itself
on American ground with a tone
that is increasingly distinct and de-
termined
The more serious thing to consid-
err is that what we listen to here is
but a few notes of the general con-
cert of discomfort that prevails both
sides of the sea. and that that dis
content is everywhere declaring
itself in tones that are increasingly
confident and bold
And. so far as appears, nothing
essential is being done to stay the
forward march of dissatisfaction

Dog With Biggest Teeth
Gets the Bone.

The point IS that the prevailing
condition of mind and tone Of
character Is Notwithstanding
the age Of the world in which we
live-that humans have to 20 ct
one another dog fashion in order to
effect the settlement Of their rela-
lions and the adjustment Of their
differences, and that the dog that
has the largest capacity OF howl
and the biggest capacity Of teeth
and claws is the one that gets
away with this bone and the FIVE
cents.
CoFFMAN's cartoons are a fea-
- ture of The Georgian. They

There is in them certain power

stroke of the brush than by streke

of the boy and his father;
Hand in hand through the woods
they go,
The father and little lad;

know

picture and absorb the gentle. gra-
cious meaning. that is in 1t it would
