TIE LOVE-

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph: It remained for a
woman, and a Pittsburg woman at that, to make the bold
declaration that nothing Is stronger than the love Of a faith
er for his child. ''Mother love is strong she SAYS, @'but
father love is stronger And this woman is in a position
to know, for she is the superintendent of a home where
children, deserted by one or both parents, are cared for.
Twice a month, if they desire, parents may visit these little
waits, and, by watching their actions, the superintendent
has reached the conclusion that father love is greater than
mother love, for more fathers than mothers visit these tots,
and they display more affection for them.
Possibly the assertion that such is the case will preci-
pltate a controversy and III that event it would be well to
bear IN mind that the supreme sacrifice for love was made
by a father, the Father of all mankind-ssFor God so
loved the world that he gave His only begotten Som
w We a seldom so. PICK up a paper without being confronted
cldent" or something like that. When we consider the
reckless driving done on our streets, the careless swing
ing around corners and the bravado of some children try
ing TO cross the street when they see a car approaching, we
do not wonder. There is prevention for these things. it
IS care; but when the fever is in the blood who is careful?
the sad results face to face they think and understand.
The high cost of meat is a serious reality, and it is now
obvious that the rise In prices in recent years is the result
or an actual shortage IN production. This condition is re-
1ected IN the per capita consumption of meat in the United
States, which IS estimated to have fallen off 10 pounds in i
years, or from 162 pounds in1909 to 152 pounds in the fiscal
year 1913. These figures are exclusive of lard. 1t is evi-
dent that the country is facing an era of short production
OF meat, and that some constructive means must be adopted
II the American appetite for this class Of food is to- be
supplied.

On Discovery Day, William Jennings Bryan, secretary
of state, delivered a lecture in the Academy OF Music, Phila-
delphia, under the auspices Of the knights ct Columbus.
The hall was thronged with members Of the order and their
friends who wished to hear the American premier. Mr..
BRYAN IN the coure of his address paid the following tribute
to- the Knights of Columbus:
uI am glad to take part here today because this oc-
easion is celebrated under the auspices of a great organ
ization. The knights of Columbus, with q membership Of
100000 intelligent, earnest, patriotic men, have accomplish
ed much, and have before them a larger work even than
that which they have already done. No one who Is inter
about the lifting Of the moral standards Of i nation can is
Indifferent to the work OF any such organization founded
upon such principles as those upon which this organization
rests. Three hundred thousand men cooperating togeth
ersfor the advancement of things that are good constitute
1 tremendous power IN the land, and j. am So deeply Inter
ested III all that concerns the advancement AZ ciyllizatlon
and especially Of this nations part In the worlds clyilza

under whose auspices we meet today.@And the third rel
