The Future Of America.

In his book. Progress and Pros

ington observes:
II seems doubtful II even the optmlst
can overdraw the picture Of what the
morrow OF our nation Is TO be. for II Is
evident that the progress and prosperity
OF the past three-duarters OF a century
have been greater than that OF all the
twenty centuries preceding. With this
marvellous recent past. what OF the flu
ture!
And in this recent past, these
seventy-five years, the worlds great

been wrought in America and Amer
lea is the center Of the stage Of
great possibility and achievement
today. No man would care TO pre-
diet what her future will be. even
what the next seventy-five years viii
bring. For America now has the
forces Of nature harnessed SO as to
drive them into new and UNEMPLOYED
fields. Only see what is daily being
developed in the realm Of electricity
alone-power. light. the telephone.
Maryels Of what seem to be consum-
mate genius are constantly being
produced and things are now come
to be commonplace that only yester-
day we're but the fancy Of imagina-
ton.
But II is along the line OF trans
portation that the United States
real progress and prosperity must
travel and have travelled. This country
develops as its railroads reach out
into new territory. Unpeopled plains
and mountains are inhabited. towns
grow into cities and the call for
more home-builders goes out. Trans
portation. though, is not confined
entirely to railroads; rivers were
intended chiefly for that purpose
and until the railroads came. were
used for that purpose. They must
be so used again. Waterways must
be re-established and will be in this
country as the demand becomes
vital. European experience teaches
that as population becomes dense
and traffic expands where it taxes
the resources of land transportation,
rivers are harnessed and brought
. into commission. And that is what
will happen in the United States in

Home, the Original Scout Club.

There are girl scouts as we'll as
boy scouts now, though the army Is
not conducted on a cooperative
basis with reference TO sex. II is
interesting to note the code OF prin-
cfples TO which the scouts. girls. for
instance. must subscribe. Before
a girl may become scout she must
promise:
on my honor I promise that viii do
my best.
j. To be true to God, my neighbOr and
myself.
2. To keep my thoughts pure.
3 To obey the scout law.
The scout law reads in part as
follows:
/. A girl scout Is honest.
. A Girl scout Is cheerful.
= A girl scout Is patient.
l. A girl scout Is economical and indus
trious
e. girl scout Is helpful.
G. A sirl scout will keep herself In good
condition by proper care.
I. A girl scout is lady under every
circumstance.
Very many homes teach these
same principles, very many churches
do. very many Sunday schools. and
even day schools. So that the code
is not really original with the scouts.
Fathers and mothers have grown

Church Advertising.

The ushers of New York church,
of which Rev. DR.. Jowett. recently
of England, is pastor, hung up
signs outside the church doors, No
More ROOM" to keep the edifice
from being overlooked, and the FOOD
doctor requested them to take down
the signs because they did not look
we'll in front Of a house Of God.
More than that. church paper re-
ports that these ushers were being
importuned during the week BY per-
sons eager TO get In and hear DIR.
Jowett to reserve them seats and
accept fee for the same. OF
course, 1t is not OF record that the
trustees assented to any such over
lures.
This instance Is most remarka-
BILE one just now when the general
problem OF the church is. how to
get people to fiji the pews, not how
to seat all who desire TO attend.
When DR.. Jowett came from England
about a year ago and people began
thus to flock to his services, 1t was
said that he could not hope to hold
their interest long that way. but II
appears he is more than holding 1t.
Evidently DIR. Jowett has found
the pearl OF greatest price" IN the
effort OF getting men to church;
evidently he gives them what they
want to hear. lie seems to have
discovered something which many
other preachers are still vainly
searching for. for surely IL cannot
be that DR.. Jowett has fallen into
the midst OF people so much more
intent on church-going than the
average that they will overcrowd the
building every Sunday out OF sheer
zeal for the gospel.
A church In Wichita has hit upon
the expedient Of filling its pews by
display advertising and the scheme
works. Reports say the pews are
filled. Other churches are discuss
ing the polity OF pursuing this busi-
ness method OF advertising to get
people to attend divine services.
Salvation is free to you and me, :"
ran the old song. So II is. and this
puts no price upon II. The churches
have discovered that in finances
they have to come to the same busi-
ness methods the world pursues, and
those churches that have readjusted
their. temporal affairs upon this
practical basis have generally OBJ
tained paying results. Likewise,
those that adopt the display ad sys-
tenn seem to get good out OF II. No
need to undignify or compromise the
gospel. 1t looks like letting the
light out from under the bushel
This Ia a day when, whether COM
petition dominates big business, Of
taet. n errtainly exists between the
fchurrh and the world, and the
church that successfully performs
lis mission Is not afraid to get down
into the street and meet this worldly
competition as II should be met.

Mixing the Issues.

I In all this talk about the initiative,
referendum and recall there seems
to us TO be a peculiar mixing Of the
issues Wherever these proposed re-
forms are in process Of experiment
they are being applied locally as
remedies for peculiar local griey-
anees, and We do not understand that
anyone seriously contemplates the
enactment OF federal laws by the
initiative and referendum, or the re-
call Of federal judges, or the reversal
OF decisions OF the federal supreme
court by direct popular vote.
Town meeting legislation and the
recall OF public servants may be FEAST
bic for municipal governments and
may possibly permit OF extension to
the state unit without untoward con-
sequences IL resorted to with caution.
But the idea Of enaeting an important
piece OF federal legislation tariff
law, for example. or railway rate
law, or an antitrust law, or a federal
elections law-by a majority vote Of
the people from Maine TO California
and from Texas TO the Canadian
border does not seem TO come within
the realm OF practical Craftsmanship
any more than the reversal by the
same method OF supreme court deei-
sions-say decision unfolding the
legal tender acts, or one invalidating
the income tax. II is hard to see
how national issues can be properly
made Of the initiative. referendum
and recall even to the extent that a
national issue was made four years
ago out OF the deposit guaranty
panacea. which after all the agitation
has secured foothold In only three
or four states.
There are great national problems
confronting the country In whose
solution the people of all the states
are equally concerned. and which
should arouse interest In all sections

Athletics, Frats and Scholarship.

Is the college fraternity coming
to the place where there will be
none so poor as TO do it honor
none among college and university
faculties? The consensus OF opin-
ion of college men as to the fra
tcrnity's relation to scholarship
seems to be that its value Is negligible
and its influence harmful. Dean
Thomas A. Clark Of the University
Of Illinois has compiled some
statistics TO show the relative effect
on the students class room work Of
the fraternity and athletics. II is
entirely unfayorable TO the fra
ternity. while quite favorable. IN
most cases. to athletics. He shows,
In fact. that scholarship is vastly
helped by sane participation in
college. athletics. at least that many
of the best scholars are also leaders
in physical activities, but he fails
TO show any fraternity leaders who
are leaders among the scholars.
This only goes to confirm what
the presidents OF some Of the very
largest schools in the country have
discovered and declared with refer
ence to the fraternity. OF course.
fraternity life might be made help
instead OF a hindrance. but the
temptations to make It a hindrance
appear TO be irresistible In most
instances. That is why university
and college heads are preaching
against fraternities. The soft. easy,
fashionable life which they generally
foster, Is inimical TO the life that
a real student must pursue and. ac-
cording to the very best authority.
this handicap in time becomes over
whelming and large numbers OF
fraternity men and women fall aside
and do not complete their educa-
lions. Aside from tending to
destroy scholarships. fraternity life,
as too often practiced. breeds a
class spirit which Is very disastrous
to any adequate conception OF
democracy and thus terminates the
seed Of a baleful influence later In
life,
