CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Bryan's Note.

Late last night Secretary BRYAN sent
to Ambassador Chinda the reply of the
United States government to the Japan.
legislation. Curiously enough, Mr.. Bry.
an is keeping his reply secret, although
its nature may be readily conjectured
The administration has done its best
with an obstinate state government. For
relief the courts may still be appealed
to. New treaty negotiations may dis
sipate the issue. This is about all BRYAN
can say. A large element in California
is dissatisfied with the Webb law, be-
cause not radical enough, and desires to
subject it to referendum. A correspond
ingly aggressive element in japan Il
pressing the Mikado's government to
hold firmly for the maintenance of the
rights of its subjects.
The apostles of liberalism of several
generations ago argued that when king
ly power was superseded by that of the
people a great stride would be made to-
wards peace.
They reasoned that autocratic gov
ernments directed strife, the burden of
which they did not have to bear, but
that with the people once deciding ques-
tons of peace and war the outcome
would be different. This theory has
not been supported by much later ex.
perience. In all such controversies as
this, the more popular the mechanism of
government the more surely jingoistic
the decision. Mr. Bryan and Mr.. VIII
son. and perhaps Cslifornia's governor,
could be reasonable enough with Japan,
but the voters of the Pacific slope are
evidently disposed to brook no compro-
mise. Probably a similar situation ex-
lists in japan, at least 10 the extent that

Little has been said about it, but the
fact remains that wireless communica-
tion again played a prominent part in
rescue work at sea when the steamer
Haverford struck rock off the coast Of
Ireland and started to sink. The wire
less signals of distress were picked up
quickly and vessels set out to the res
cue, taking off the last OF thousand
passengers when the water had reached
a depth of fifteen feet in the fore hold.
Before the discovery of wireless com
munication, the passengers would have
been compelled to trust themselves to
the mercy OF the sea as they set out in
small boats. A splendid thing is the
wireless.

The grape juice business has taken on
grand boom since a certain dinner Civ
en- in Washington by Secretary OF State
Bryan to ambassadors from foreign
lands, and not few of the makers OF
the beverage took advantage OF the OPP
portunity to advertise their product by
sending cases Of grape juice to the secre-
tary of state. So that is one result OF
the Bryan edict concerning the serving
of liquors.

Galena district was $50 tons less than in
1911, but the sale of sphalerite con-

That Boston was able to attract the
Hamburg American line is the result OF
great and concerted effort on the part OF
many people, as the Boston Transcript
points out in the following:
The real significance OF Yesterdays
ceremonies on the new pier is that of
community awakened to its CONNER
cial responsibilities and possibilities, as
community. Boston has seen that the
time has assed when these important
and comprehensive developments can be
entrusted to private initiative. Each
year adds new bands to the welding of
all the nations into single commercial
unit. II we would prosper, we must pros
per as community, and to prosper as
a community our business must more
and more be conducted by and for the
community Tor commonwealth as a
whole. For those with the wit to read
the language of yesterdays ceremonies,
they are fraught with promise OF new
ordera more orderly order, in which
the individual, without having lost any
Of that dearly bought liberty for which
the nineteenth century fought its intel
lectnal battles, will enjoy greater lib
erty through wise regulation OF great
commercial undertakings to community
ends.

to see this re-awakened spirit in Boston,

Only the Few Have Grace to Be
Satisfied with Their Lot.

magazine writer has lately been
trying to prove to those among us who
are less comfortably situated that
they ought to be satisfied with their
lot, and that because the amount now
on deposit in the savings banks of the
country is four and a half billion dol
lars, as against half billion in 1870,
there ought to be no complaint on ac-
count of hard conditions.
Such condition roceeds from fail
ure to appreciate one important ingre-
dent of human contentedness. Some
people have the grace to be satisfied
with what they have. be it more or
less than what others have; but the
attitude of mind of the big majority
is this:
Il am as good as anybody and there
fore deserve TO have as much as any
body, and because | have less the
public treats me unjustly."
And because he is so busy being
angry with what he hasn't got he for
gets to enjoy what he has. and goes
off and joins the Socialists or the l..

Debt the Ugliest Monster on Earth

Then train them in the way of keep
ing a careful cash account each day
and of balancing up their books at
the end of each week. Speak often and
repeatedly of the honor which such
habits eventually bring and of the cor
responding dishonor which follows on
the habit of debt.
There are children born into the
world with tendency to be borrow
ers and even to be thieves, because
their fathers were parsimoniOus and
niggardly with their mothers before
their birth. And the children received
the mental mark of their mothers I'M
fortunate state of mind.
One such woman longed for certain
kinds of food before the birth of her
child, and was told by her husband
that her longings were eXtravagant
and unreasonable. So persistent were
her longings, however, and so small
was the expense they entailed, that

Men of that niggardly type often

a MAN who mas made a great
~ financial success, somewhat
~ suddenly, is doing much
charitable and helpful work
for humanity, but he is marring his
own character and making trouble for
himself and others in the future by
one unfortunate habit.
HE NEVER PAYS A DEBT UNTIL

ENTH HOUR.
knows that he is honest and generous.
He is sure to pay all he owes and to
1iquidate every debt, eventually. But,
meantime, he causes untold discom-
fort to his creditors frequently by his
delays.
Often, while some man to whom he
is owing large bill is needing the
money to push along his own affairs,
his wealthy debtor is giving liberal
worthy cause.
But there is leak in the lifeboat
of this man which, unless mended, will
eventually either sink his craft or
damage all its cargo.
No doubt the habit was first form
ed when he was struggling to make
his way; before fortune turned her
smiling face upon him. But his very
struggles and needs in early life
should have made him more consist
ent in his dealings with his fellow men
after he obtained his fortune.
Debt is the ugliest monster on earth
outside of crime.
Every young man or woman who is
setting forth upon self-suporting ca
reer should keep his mental guns
charged and ready to fire upon the
ogre the moment it presents its horrid
face at the door.
If the habit of debt is once formed,
1t is almost as difficult to break as
alcoholism or the drug habit, The lon
ger 1t is INDUCED in the more diff
cult the cure.
Every parent should teach child
that debt is a phase of shame.
Tell your boy or girl that it is far
more respectable to wear old gar
ments and to be unable to present a
smart appearance than to go about
in clothes which are not paid for. or
to indulge in any pleasures or priv
leges which have made debt a neces-
sity.

Home for Incurables by Lucy Adams
is vacant.
Readers of this column have, at
various intervals, done sweet and gra-
ciOus acts to help brighten the life of
this girl, whose story has been made
known to them.
Lucy Adams fell from the elevated
station in New York city and broke her
spine when she was only seven years
old. For fully twenty years she lay in
bed unable to sit up; and for the last
sixteen years of her life she remain
ed in the Home for Incurables at
Third avenue and One Hundred and
Eigthy-third street. Despite her help
ed almost constantly, Lucy Adams
was a beautiful looking girl, with an
animated countenance, sweet voice
and a wonderfully well-informed mind.
1t was a pleasure to converse with
her.
The smallest favOrS gave her great
pleasure, and her letters were always

plants for the privileges denied.
Two years ago, readers of this pa
per responded to a call for assistance,
and the young invalid's life was
frightened and cheered by the gift of
needed sums of money, of flowers and
fruit, and calls and letters. 1t should
be source of deep qualification to
all who remembered her in these var

those who loved her can only rejoice

And that she is surrounded by

her all that she missed in thhe earth
