DATE OF INAUGURATION

Such has been the experiences of the small army of people and officials attending the inauguration of the president of the United States that much support is given the effort ia secure a change in the date, The fourth of March is very apt to give bad weather, as many of the inaug- HTations heve demonstrated, but it is believed that a change to the latter part of April would find Washington favored with beaHtifui weather for such a national affaiF, Tine effort met with defeat lR tine recent congress. but it will aaaHestieaabiy SC de up again fer action,
 Tine date at present fixed, March fourth, was set by Benjamin Franklin whe found that it would fall SR Sum- day less times than aRF other day iH the year fer t#s eeatuSies, It has since been maiRtaiRed and is stiii adhered to as the date fer iHdaeting the pFesi- dent iRts effies. The date ta which the change would advance the eere- uaoRy would bring it practically te ths date of the lRaHguFatiea of Washing ton, which teeiS place April Ss. The change Reeessitates the approval ot both houses of congress and the pres. idents saRctiea, the same as any leg. islatiea.
 Much of the objection ta the change has been due to the fact that it would upset a custom which has been ir existence for many years, and interfer. eass with established spstoms needs much sxsins: Fhe fact that bette, weather conld be expected needs littli argument

STEAMSHIP REGULATIONS.

It is not surprising that Canada is looking with favor upon our new code of laws concerning steamship regula- tions which followed as the result of the many lessons taught by the Titan ic disaster. There were many im- portant changes to be made as the cause and consequences of that fright full accident became known. Action had been too long delayed concerning mapy precautions which that result e9 in making obligatory The value of many of the requirements has been demonstrated in numerous incidents since and will be found to be of great importance for the future protection of passengers on the high seas.
 The forcing of the Canadian liner Royal George on to the rocks in the St. Lawrence river has brought Ca nadian authorities to the point of real izing the need of stringent regulations. Speed was the cause of the wreck, the endeavor to make port at a certain time and the taking of chances to accomplish 1t, resulted, not in loss of life, but in the turning of the vessel over to the underwriters. Had such an impact occurred on the ocean, the liner would have gone down, as every compartment was leaking. It is thus apparent that too much care cannot be given to providing the necessary appliances for safety Risks will be taken and are taken every day, the outcome of which can never be told. Wherever Steamships are concerned, every provision for the safety of the human freight should be required and lived up to,

CAN WILSON UNITE THEM?

Mr. Wilson is anticipating his return to this country and is preparing for some important conferences prepara- tory to deciding some of the vital questions which are before him. He has for that reason requested William J. Bryan to confer with him. consid- ering him one of the leaders of the party Unquestionably, MT. Wilson plans to consult freely with other of the party counselors such as Under wood and Clark. How he is going to handle the situation and keep all the factions satisfied is one of his great problems. How Messrs- Clark and Underwood are going to look upon this part which Mir Bryan is likely to play in the administration remains to be seen He won a great fight at Balti- more. and naturally MT. Wilson looks to him for help and guidance, and 1t matters little to Bryan what the others think Even should he get a cabinet place. which seems possible, the strained relations with the other par ty leaders need not affect him
 Much responsibility. however, rests upon the president-elect- It is his task to get things to working in har- mony if possible and the question is whether he can unite the warning ele- ments of the party. There are many to be consulted for the best interests of the organization. and many doubt less feel the same as do Underwood and Clark. and would not take kindly the showing of favoritism to Bryan. Mir Wilson will doubtless find that he must be a peacemaker as well as pres ident.

DiSPoSING OF SEWAGE.

The disposal of sewage is a question which is interesting not only all the large cities but there are many among what may be called the smaller cities which find that much harm comes Srom the ernptying of the sewage into rivers. This is noted in a number of ways and limits the use of the water and has a harmful effect upon the fish and bi- valves therein. In the ease of the oys- ter and the oyster beds in many places the contamination from the sewage is threatening disease, and action in in- stances along Long Island sound is contemplated against the municipali- ties which cause this trouble by their sewers.
 The sewage disposal system is go- ing tc be one of the important prob ls1ns of the future, the same as the sewertng of cities into rivers was in the past The New York Herald ob- serves that New York has come to the time when even the abundant wa ters Of our rivers and harbor cannot be counted on to absorb the citys sewage without danger to those who live near or work on our water front We must look to some sewage disposal system to- help solve the problem. Re- cent discussions by experts show that the solution may even be easy and not expensive. New York's citizens must be ready to recognize the neces- sity we are under of not further pol iHtihg our waters and of making ouf sewage absolutely harmless before trusting it to the vfcissitudes of tides and windy

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAI
WORK.
Work is a curse.

WOrk IS a curse.
 The Bible says so. Like many other too deeply true sayings of the Bible this has been most ingeniously ex- plained away. It now seems generally accepted that work is a blessing and a means of grace.
 Our difficulty is that we do not de- fine work Work is exertion we do not like, made for the sake of future pleasure, such as wages, goods or rest. Play is exertion for the pleasure of the exertion itself.
 Work is healthful, useful and good only in so far as 1t ceases to be work and becomes play. Nothing so dwarfs, hurts and degrades a person so much as constant work at something he does not like, in which there is no zest and fun.
 Most of the so-ca1led workers have discovered the secret of play in their tasks. The engineer, the mechanic, the farmer, the grocer, the house. painter and the carpenter, are restless and unhappy when they cannot get work; and that is not wholly because they miss the wage, but because they miss that play-interest and absorption in an occupation suited to them.
 Work is a curse. And only as we succeed in changing it into more or less of play, is it at all bearable.
 The human problem is to get rid of work: but that is to be done not by abolishing work, but by changing its starch of willingness into the sugar of pleasure and play

AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

Doubling the worlds international commerce in a period of twenty-two years is an accomplishment worthy of recognition, and from figures compiled from the publications of about 70 countries such will be shown at the end of this year in comparison with 1890 The aggregate will reach 35 billion dollars, or four billion more than in 1910. Nearly all the import ant countries show larger totals than in any earlier year. Imports were in creased in most of them, though France, Argentina, Mexico and Russia show decreases, but on exports prac tically all show increases. The total value of imports into the 70 principal countries and colonies of the world in 1911 approximated F 1-2 million dol- lars. Deducting from this the imports of the United States leaves a total of sixteen billion dollars as the value of the foreign market in which the American products and manufactures may be sold.
 It is a significant fact that two bil- lion, or one-eighth of the entire amount oL imports lnto IoreISn coun- tries came from this country. Those taking the largest proportionate share of imports from us are Haiti, Hondu- ras. Santo Domingo, Canada. Panama, Mexico. Cuba and Costa Rica. The United Kingdom takes 17.3 per cent. of her imports from us, representing 572 million dollars, Canada taking 285 million; Germany, 13.3 per cent. or 2S3 million dollars worth of it's buy ing is done here, while France comes here for 119 million dollars worth of goods. Russia, Brazil, Australia, Jap an and Belgium also get millions of their imports from here, and through out the smaller countries more or less American product is scattered.

What is the matter with the people

What is the matter with the people :? Just what is the matter with you and l? We know that people talk as if they believed in the Divine promises and a future life, and then live and act as if they do not believe it. This creates an atmosphere of doubt which is just as natural as fog on an October morn ing. The fog and, the storm were not designel to abide 'together-doubt and sincerity were never designed to CO., operate There is an absence of faith in the integrity of men-hence. in the value of institutions set up by men. Yes, this is what is the matter with the people in their relation to the church. Faith and honesty bind men together and are capable of binding earth to heaven. but you don't believe it. Hardly anyone does. This is the real check upon attaining the best pos sible conditions of life. What you think and whaat you believe has as much to do with what you are as what you eat, Man has never really got togeth- CT yet and he is not likely to until war has ceased and peace becomes per- manent.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
EMBERS REKiNDLED.

It is something of a trick to keep a fire going on a hearth. Especially when it has burned low, to coax it back to a blaze requires patience and even a degree of skill. The scattered pieces must be arranged to advantage, a draft created, and the coals blown up on till the smoking pile yields to the inevitable and leaps into flame.
 It were fortunate if we could as easily revive interests and purposes in our lives that have burned low. The problem with many a man or woman past 40 say, is to keep into mature years the zest of youth. The rekind- ling of smoldering enthusiasms be- comes a difficult but important task with no small number of us.

Few people. other than actual physi-

Few people, other than actual physi- cal sufferers, merit more sympathy than those who have outiived their en-
 thusiasms. They are bereft of a prime source of contentment. A blase spirit is heavy burden. A heart that
 has ceased to thrill to the beauty of
 the world or anticipate the activities
 of each new day as it comes turns all
 scenes to drab.
 If we are to "come back" as regards
 our mental and spiritual interests we
 must be willing resolutely to pay the
 cost of cure. If men will go to Null
 doon's to labor and sweat for their
 physical rejuvenation they should not
 balk at as hard discipline in be-
 half of their spiritual welfare.
 Most of our enthusiasms perish be- cause of our sloth. The fire burns low
 because the fuel has given out or the
 chimney has been allowed to clog with soot. No fire does well that Is neglect ed and no enthusiasm, however lusty, will survive if left to it's fate. If one would keep the spirit of peren- l nial youth, let him cultivate the ac- quaintance and sympathize with the enterprises of young people. The youngsters who think, read, play and "de things" will do much to keep him out of a "rut which differs from a grave only in it's depth" A bald head of 50 who sinks into his morris chair every evening after supper and begins to yawn for bed at 8.30 o'clock, had better go out occasionally and help the l Boy Scouts tie sailors knots or rig their wireless telegraph on top of the high school building: The exercise will l do him geed and the mental stimulus will delay by years his approach to the dead line.

Every now and then you hear some one talking about live men, as if there were too many dead men consuming provender. I ask myself once in a while what a live man is. and I get the answer The is like the average man there are a million varieties of him." To some minds the agitator is the only live man there is. and to others the hustler or sensationalist are the live men. It strikes me that the popular live man may be dead to the very es- sentials of existence. The liveliest man makes but a small stir in the world even in this day of speedy in accommodation and wireless mar cenigrams. Who can tell who has the greatest influence in life, an Edison, a TolstOi or a woman who contributes to life fifteen sons and daughters? :?

It is true some men live more in q year than some others do in a lifetime, Activity end knowledge of love and faith reHtribute to the more abundant life.
