| his title had he not been so harShly
handled by his father, Frederick Will
lam. He had so strong body and
character that those harsh influences,
exerted upon him while young man,
were formative and not deformative.
There are only between 100000
and 100000 Jews in the world today,
but let us, in order to be very safe,
assume that there are 100000. The
Jews, even then, constitute only l per
cent of the I,5oo,oooyooo of the earth's
population, and yet they control much
more than hundred times their pro-
portion of the worlds finances, so that
each Jew. therefore, is a hundredfold
more potential in a business way than
is the average inhabitant of the globe.
But let us take into consideration
only the leading civilized nations of
the world-the United States, Japan,
and the countries OF Europe. They
have total population of about 5oo,-
100000. There are, say, 100000
Jews in these countries. The Jews
constitute only ? per cent of this popu-
lation But the Jews certainly con-
troll IS per cent of the finances of these
nations. Consequently, the Jew is over
fifty times more potential in the fnan-
cial world than is the average Gentle.
Why has this come about? 1t is
simply because the Jews have been so
roughly treated by the other nations
for 1000 years that they have had to
become very keen business men in or
der to survive at all.
Now that the persecution has passed,
the Jew thrives like a green bay tree
The severe treatment OF the Jews was
not deformative, but has proved to be
highly formative. Not only in finance,
but also in the arts and sciences, the
proportion OF Jews who succeed far
exceeds the proportion OF successful
GentileS.
While the present war in Europe is
the greatest disaster of modern times,
still it will not be all disaster. On the
contrary, Just as the cities OF Boston,
Portland, Chicago. San Francisco, rose
phoenix-like from their ashes. plumed
in greater splendor than before. will
European civilization rise from the
ashes OF this war and plume itself with
greater splendor than the world has
before known, and the tears will be
dried and the walls OF mourning will
again be changed to song and laughter
Useful Lessons of the War.
There will be many useful lessons
which this war will teach. 1t will prove
untrue all the impractical prophesies
that lovers of peace, with the WISH
father to the thought, have made about
peace and war. 1t will prove that the
welfare OF the great mass OF the peo-
pie OF the nations has not, by any OF
our modern institutions, been sufi-
ciently safeguarded.
We have learned that young men,
the flower of their countries. are abso-
lutely at the mercy OF their govern
r1ents that may, at any time, take them
from their business and their homes

EuEenIc Effects.

Contrary to general opinion that war
secures the survival OF the fttest, many
mold that war kills off the most manly
and the most fit, while the less ft are
left for seedlings. This cannot always
have been true, for war, during all the
ages of the world. has been the princi-
pal business OF mankind. and if war
had tended always to secure the sur
vival OF the unfit the world today
would be peopled with a degenerate
lot indeed. However. modern warfare
is far different from ancient warfare,
and what may have held good in the
old days may not hold good today. In
clden times whole populations were in
Discriminatory slaughtered or enslaved,
and pestilence and famine slew those
that the sword left. 50 that. on the
whole, in olden times those who sur
vived were the strongest. the hercest,
the most resourceful, and the most Wig
orouS
Modern warfare, however. plays no
favorites. The strong are smitten as
frequently and as easily as the weak;
while the weak. incompetent. and i'll
1T who remain at home are not swept
off by famine and pestilence or slain
by the invader in the wholesale way
that they used to he. Consequently. It
is the Young and the vigorous man
hood that is mostly destroyed by war
today
Fer this reason, the eugenic effects
Ct the present war will be had. and
there is also the consolation that with
modern war methods far fewer are
actually killed in war than formerly;
that the numbers OF wounded CON-
pared to the slain are far greater to-
day, aud consequently those who sur
vive and return to the peaceful pur-
suits OF life are lar more numerous
in proportion 10 the numbers OF armies
than formerly.

When government becomes too much
centralized and too strong, it makes
the people the servants or slaves of the
governing bureaucracy, with the result
that the government itself becomes a
menace of the liberties of the people I;
and when governing bureaucracy
wants war it is easy to inAame the pas
sions of the people and to make most
of them believe that a neighboring ma
ton is in the wrong and needs whip
ping; and those who are not infamed
and do not believe, unable to stem the
tide, are swept along with the common
current into the ranks of war.
! A kingdom or empire is, for this rea-
son, far stronger for military purposes
than a republic. In the present war,
for example, the French government
found it necessary to play party poll
tics and to invade AIsace and Lorraine
Tor political effect. instead of lining up
the whole force of France, as ought to
have been done, to stem the tide of
German invasion. Germany. on the
other hand, with the Kaiser an abso-
Lutte monarch in time of war. did not
find it necessary, or believe it expedi-
ent, to make any sacrifice for party
politics.
Political Possibilities of War.
The allies are held together by a
strange and unnatural alliance That
republican France and liberal England
and despotic Russia should Join to fight
constitutional Germany is a circum-
stance that teases the understanding.
A friendship between two persons.
based entirely upon common enmity of
a third person, is not likely to be an
enduring friendship under the stress
OF any strong aggravstion.
The present war is one of so IN
precedented magnitude that it is bound
to be likewise unprecedented in its con-
sequences.
The elimination of international
rivalry from the world is an absolute
impossibility. Consequently, the object
OF the common council OF nations
should be to establish an order OF
things whereby business. under inter
national police protection, should en-
able the nations to vie with one an
other in honorable rivalry in the trade
OF the world. The aim should be to
substitute, as far as possible, CONNER
cial for military rivalry-the antag-
onism of trade and commerce for the
antagonism OF the sword
There is a stern lesson which has
been taught by all the wars OF the
world and lesson which is being most
effectuaIIy retaught by the present war
1t is that national necessity knows no
law; that all treaties. understandings.
and obligations concluded in times OF
peace are instantly violated and broken
the moment they stand in the way OF
national interests and ambitions.
Therefore, the only order OF things
which could be established in the
world with any hope OF maintaining
the peace OF the world would be to en-
list the entire naval and military force

BOY SCOUTS HELD AN
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

The local Council of the Boy
Scout movement in Lakeland held a
very interesting meeting in the
Board of Trade rooms last night un-
der the leadership of Scoutmaster
Kelsey Blanton. The object of the
meeting was to confer the rank Of
second class scout on those who had
passed the required examination,
whose names in the order of aver
age attained are as follows:
Earl Peterson, William Nowlin,
James Boulware, William Watson,
Kenneth Warren, Henry Nonibear,
Ernest Mayes, Harley Guilford,
Shelie Johnson Elmer Macarthur,
Herman Matthias, Henley G. Combs,
Louis Slocum, Leonard Williams,
The Scout master had offered the
boys a prize for the highest record
of efficiency which was won by Earl
Peterson, who received a beautiful
gold compass, the presentation be-
ing made in a few gracious words by
Mrs. Blanton. The Scout master,
Mr.. Blanton. made a very earnest
address to the boys and was followed
by words Of commcndation and coun-
sol by the president Of the Council,
John F. Cox, A. J IIoIwortAy and
II. J. Drane. Messrs. NJ. f. lIeth-
erington and G. b. Murrcll were
other members of the Council pres
ent. Mrs. G. NJ Wright, who has
taken a warm interest in the boys,
was also a welcome visitor
Mr.. Blanton moddstly disclaims
credit for the splendid work ac-
complished by the boys, but those
who are in position to know, un-
derstand the situation. He claims
that the credit belongs to the boys
who have been faithful and persist
ent in putting the movement where
it is. 1t is hoped to have three pa
trolls organized very shortly and the
boys will be heard from. A prize of
a loving cup for the patrol making
the best showing has been suggested
by Mr.. Cox and quite heartily en-
dorsed.
Parents will do well to encourage
their boys in every way to join the
Scouts. It is not an organization
to reform bad boys, however, but to
keep boys inclined to be good from
becoming bad, and as such is one of
the very best organizations we have
in town.
