Money Is Lubricant,
Not Motive Power.

Money is the lubricant that makes
the machinery run easily, but 1t is
not the motive power that drives
the machine,
An editorial writer in The Inter
national Railroad Employee, ad-
dressing railroad operatives, says:
You seldom, If ever, give any Sc
rious thought to lettering your
condition, except by hoping for bet
ter wages. Your ideals begin and
end with wages, and so long as
that be true there is no possibility
of your condition being bettered''
Mr.. Stokes will not fool with his
money, but presumably will lay it
out, not in filing mems pockets,
but in improving men themselves
and adding to their equipment and
thus qualifying them to fill their
own pockets.
There are two ways of living;
one is living by rule, the other Is
living by impulse. There is a wide
and important difference between
the two. and l should be pleased if
every one reading this article would
understand what that difference is
and how great and serious it is.
The person who acts by impulse
does what at any given moment he
feels like doing; while the one who
lives by rule acts according to GER
tain established laws that he has
deliberately laid down for himself.
OF course, it is natural and a deal
easier and pleasanter to do always
exactly what we feel like doing, and
if our feelings were always right it
would be altogether safer to do so,
and perhaps there are some whose
dispositions are so fine and so
steadily fine that what they want
to do will always be the thing that
it is proper and wise for them to

To preserve the neatness of the
garden the children are taught to
gather stones and trash, load
wheelbarrows and wheel them
away. In doing this, and in keep

the loads must be wheeled, they

The way in which the question of
good roads can be brought to chill

that all production is transporta-

duction is the result of moving
things so all material wealth is the
result of moving things economi-
cally, that they may be worth more
after they are moved than they
were before.

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

4 n editorial writer has sug-
n gested to Mr.. Stokes, the
wealthy candidate for the
mayoralty of Stamford and a So
cialist that if he wants to do some
thing for the poor he had better
turn his property into dollars and
distribute the proceeds of sale
among the needy.
1t is Disappointing that at this
stage of the game, when so many
sensible things have been said
about ameliorating the conditions
OF the less favored classes, man
should be found who, while posing
as an oracle, should recommend to
Mr.. Stokes a policy of amelioration
so stupidity inadequate.
Supposing that all the property
in the country were converted into
cash and the resulting funds eX-
pended in an equable per capita
distribution, where would the poor
people. as well as the rich ones, be-
at the end of a month? Dollars
are necessary, but dollars are not
what ameliorat ton is made of,
The man who initiated Christian
civilization was not a millionaire,
but was so poor that when 1t came
time for him to. pay his poll tax he
had to have one of his disciples go

sary funds.
am not blinking the fact that
the poor ought to have more
money: but more money is not the
chief nor the fundamental thing.

Island off the coast Of Queensland,
where this particular trip took
place, this correspondent writes
that the beach is only about 400
yards long, all the rest Of the is
land being rocky.
The first operation is to catch the
turtles, which are plentifully scat
tered about the island, and turn
them over on their backs. in which
position they are perfectly helpless.
When one learns that these animals
weigh from two to three hundred
weight, it is not surprising that
considerable knaCk is required to
do this, but the neatest and quick
est way. it is explained, is to grab
the turtle from behind and tip il
over its head AS soon as trip
is arranged the turtles-as many
as are required-are turned over,
and, finding themselves on their
feet once moro, they make for the
sea with the men on their backs,
who, when in about foot Of water,
squat on the animals, holding on to
them where the coat collar ought
