in a great city a few evenings ago,
there was opened for the first time a
vast public garden.
Its latticed walls glittered with
many colored electric lights.
An orchestra played and fair wom-
en- sang and at tables thousands ate,
drank and were merry merriment
beginning in natural fellowship but
gaining in voltage under the stimulus
of alcohol until in many instances it
ended in Pushes Of stupor and head
aches next morning
AS the ice in the glasses cInked and
the corks popped and the cabaret per
formers sang or danced while the
musicians played. roughed women
smiled or flashed their jewels and
bored men frightened to the lures of
their appetites.

on the same evening blocks away
IN hospital. a wan baby lay near
unto death. its little pulse beating

The doctor. bending over the little

LIsTEN 10 Lii DOCTORs.

II we stop TO listen 20 the men OF
science who are discussing in their
conventions questions relatiHs to our
physical welfare We may learn some
thing 10 our advantage. IL we stop
long enough 10 realize that these
scientists are studying and thinking
and planning for our benefit perhaps
We will listen.
The discussions at these cOnven-
tions are not confined to the ethics OF
the profession. TO the diagnosis Of dis
eases nor TO the treatment of the sick
How 10 care for the body and how
20 keep we'll form a large part OF
them.
Medical scientists are giving first at
tention now TO the prevention Of dis
ease and TO the conservation OF vital
ity. 1t Is an unselfsh thing TO do. but
they are doing it.
They are trying to impress men and
women with the Importance OF taking
care of themselves. 1t might be more
money in the pockets Of the doctors
IL people would continue to neglect the
commonest and simplest rules Of
health. but they rise above that The
medical profession believes its mission
is not so much TO cure diseases as to
keep the wei healthy.
The best way TO do that is TO teach
people TO take care OF themselves,
and that is what they are trying to do.
They discuss sanitation and other
health questions in their conventions
I'm the newspapers and magazines. in
every way that will give their discov-
cries and their advice publicity.
Here is one example. In the
homeopathic convention at Atlantic
City Dr. Harlan Wells OF Philadelphia
said the increasing amount OF heart
disease is due 10 the fact that people
do not lie down and relax and rest
often enough.
The reason is that people will not
take the time. They rise fresh in the
morning and feel that they have
strength enough for any task. They
hurry to their places of business and
rush through TIE morning hours. BY
noon their natural strength has given
way TO nervous excitement. They eat
a hasty lunch or hearty meal. &C
cording TO their habit, and rush back
TO business
By the time the days work is over
their nervous excitement has yielded
20 fatigue and they feel they would
like to have a quiet evening, but
there are social engagements to be
taken care Of and so at ten, eleven
OF twelve o'clock the tired brain and
body get the relaxation they need
But the hours between the retiring
time and morning are not sufficient to
restore the waste and IL goes on from
day TO day until finally there is a col
lapse and a good citizen dies in the
prime years OF life and in the midst
OF his usefulness.

the antitrust detail of the admins
tration program. Representatives Of
big business are being invited TO the
white house for conference
The president has delayed these
conferences until his purpose has be-
come fully apparent and no doubt
can be entertained that he is deter
mined 10 put new antitrust laws on
the statute books before the summer
is over. The men who are invited to
the white house will go with the
understanding that the country faces
condition not a theory and that il
there is anything TO be said now is
the time TO say it,
To have invited these conferences
earlier meant unnecessary agitation
and might have been construed as evil
dences of uncertainty IN the presi-
dents mind. The possibility OF either
| is now passed. There can be no mis-
understanding as to the presidents
| purpose. He proposes to have the
legislation he has recommended and
TO have it as near right as it is pos
sible TO get it,
The spirit of compromise manifest
! ed by Pres. Wilson when the tariff and
currency bills were under considera-
ton is PROOF that he will not be arbi-
| trary in the matter of antitrust legis-
! latiOn as against reasonable sugges-
| tons and recommendations He gives
| assurance of Fis open mindedness by
inviting these suggestions and recon-
| mendations.
The president assumes that the
present alleged depression in business
| is purely psychological, that there is
/ no existing cause for such depression
in the condition of the country and
that il is purely a state of mind created
| by temperamental influences. In this
position the president is undoubtedly
| right, but he wishes to make the cor
I rectness of his attitude as apparent
! TO the public at large as to himself
/ and expects To accomplish it by testi-
mony from the mouth Of big business

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

, uncover a very active cooperation of
big business on each side of the
conflict. 1t may result in proof that
it was a strong melting cause. 1t may
show that the conduct of the leaders
on both sides is to large extent
nodded by high financial" sugges-
ton.
1t may even show, is logically sug-
gested in another Washington dispatch
that big business is at present one
of the great stumbling blocks in the
way of mediation, because each op-
posing interest wants it's side to "get
the best of the deal"
But it will not show that the rival
ry Of oil and railroad interests in MeH-
leo is the sole and sufficient cause of
the revolution. This for the reason
that other causes lie on the surface
and in the depths-causes not only
sufficiently large TO explain a revolu-
ton by themselves, but reasonably
certain sooner or later. to produce
one.
Chief of these is, of course. the
wide agrarian discomfort. Not even
Mexican Indians are going to remain
poems practically slaves-on the
immense estates, or rather territories,
of the very wealthy without becoming
dissatisfied to the revolution point now
and then. And a large part of the
pOpUldllOu VI MeAlCO Is III InlS eco
nomic condition.
! Add that many Of the people feel,
| rightly or wrongly. that they have
| something to gain and little to lose;
that the government is the instrument
| of the wealthy classes for their OPP
| preston; that any appeal they ma,
make TO the laws as against men with
| influence is foredoomed to failure
| and you have state of mind that on
ly waits a leader to become an insur-
| rection.
No; great masses of men can sell
! dom be made to march and fight and
| die at the single behest OF great oil
and railroad or any other sort of in
terests. They must feel they are
| fighting for something themselves
before they will follow the leaders
who offer They must be ripe fol-
! revolution before big business oil
anything else can touch off the mind
Let's keep our minds clear about
the Mexican business. 1t is easy tC
ascribe things to a single cause i
| is profitable at times, as is proposed
in the senate investigation, TO segre-
gate one cause and study it as if il
were the only one. But let us no
forget, in the haste to be definite anC
dogmatic about Mexico, that there ar,
more causes than one for this as wei
as every other uprising in arms
against things as they always hav,
been.-Chicago Herald.

FEDERAL RESERVE ACT.


In considering the future Of the
federal reserve system, it must be
remembered that a great moral an
chorage was provided for in the Gre
alton of the federal advisory council.
This is a board of twelve men, select
ed by bankers, and completely free
from governmental influence. While
its powers are limited to conference
and advice, it will be none the less a
real and great force in keeping the
whole system sound.
One member of this council is TO be
selected by the boards of directors of
each federal reserve bank. These
boards are made up of three directors
appointed by the government and six
by the member bankers of the dis
trict The board is thus made pre-
ponderatingly a banking board and
the selection for the position on the
advisory council Will undoubtedly be
of highest class material
The advisory council must meet at
least four times each year for confer
ence in Washington with the federal
reserve board, or oftener if called by
the latter. But in addition, il may hold
meetings at Washington or elsewhere
as often as it may deem necessary,
may select its own officers and may
adopt its own methods of procedure.
Paragraph 10 of the federal reserve
act says. Inc federal advisory cOun-
ell shall have power, by itself or
through its officers, CD TO confer di-
rectly with the federal reserve board
on general business conditions; CD to
make oral or written representations
concerning matters within the juris-
dictiOn of said board; CD to call for
/ information and to make recommen-
datiOnS in regard TO discount rates
/ rediscount business, note issues, re-
/ serve conditions in the various dis
/ tricts, the purchase and sale Of gold
/ or securities by reserve banks, open
market operations by said banks, and
the general affairs of the reserve
! banking system"
Should ii ever happen, which may
never be the case. that the federal
board should undertake unwise or DO
litical action. the protest of this fed
eral council would become powerful
and undoubtedly be backed by SOUND
public opinion, and in the light OF
| enormous publicity, no unwise admin
istrative action or policy could Ions
prevail.-American Banker.

to evil men. the same as we are to the
good.
p God Pays Us for Our Work on
a Heavenly Scale. The lesson story
gives a new philosophy OF life. a doc
trine of human conduct to which the
world were strangers in that day, and
which is only begun TO be understood
even in this sday. 1t illustrates the
way God deals with us. for in his
wonderful love "he maketh his sun
to rise on the evil and the good" and
intends that We should initiate his
example. God blesses the crops of
the bad and the good. Our method
would be TO deal harshly with the bad
and kindly with the good. but the di-
vine method is as we see ii manifest
ed. God loves sinners and deals pa
tiently with them; he gives them food
to eat raiment TO wear homes TO live
in and friends with whom to associ-
ate. He blesses them with health and
strength and causes their legitimate
efforts to prosper, sending rain on
the just and the unjust" God treats
all men justly and most men with
great generosity. That some bad men
have all the comforts OF lie. is but
manifestation Of Gods love.

McReynolds goes in on a large scale
for neatnesS and accuracy, and eSpe-
cially SO in regard to letters He
would rather not send letter at all
than TO let it go out with a slightly
blOtted signature or an omitted pune
tuation mark. He has passion for
commas. Every little phrase that
could possibly be staked off with
commas has 10 have the commas right
in place or else ii doesn't go. The at
torney general insists on just the right
phraseolOgy, too. There used 10 be

wife finding him with his arm about
the waist of their beautiful maid SER
want, and eXclaiming Noah, I'm sur
prised!" Whereupon Noah said: mo.
I'm surprised, you're astOnished."
McReynolds is just that way. He
wouldn't think of putting in letter
that he's surprised when he means
he's astOnished
Besides having his mail neat and
accurate, McReynOldS goes further and
has ii prompt. Some time ago he is
sued an order that every letter to the
department of justice requiring an an
swer at all must be answered within
twenty-fOur hours. If a man writes
in for information that it requires
several days to get, they must at least
write TO him within twenty-fOur hours
and acknowledge receipt of his letter.
McReynOlds has a theory, too. that
a letter should be not only prompt,
neat and accurate, but polite. Even
when he writes TO a stranger he
throws in several nice little polite
phrases. For example, he never starts
off: ~ our letter of the 9th at hand, p"
but is more likely to say: Permit me
to acknowledge your letter" etc, Il
beg to acknowledge" 1T gives me
