The Locomotive.

Poor old locomotive! 1t Travelled years
ago
AS handsome as a wagon in a moral
mammoth show.
Its putting and its footing brought us
mingled joy and fear.
The towns took up collections to per-
suade it to draw near.
Its troubles came from water. which up
set it's system some,
Since water. for a railroad. is more dam
gerous than rum.
Its habits grew extravagant. 1t spent
more than 1t should.
The company it sometimes found was not
so very good.
Poor old locomotive! 1t has bunions on
its heels.
When it sees job of hauling consterna-
ton it reveals.
We can't help sympathizng as its story it
relates
AS it reaches for handout in the form OF
higher rates.

The Old Order Gone.

In the all-enveloping murk but one
thing is plain. An order OF worldwide
consequence and control has passed in
the shake Of a Sleeps tail. A new order
mpends, and no man may say what 1t
will be.
If hostilities in Europe were halted to-
day. the old order could not be restored.
1t is gone beyond recall If the nations
were to assemble at the council table to-
morrow to arrange plans for the future,
the old counters would not serve in the
game. New ones would be imperative.
Naturally, the longer the struggle and
the greater the losses in blood and treas
are. the greater will be the changes when
the time comes for settlement. A single
create situation Of unprecedented diff
Guilty and magnitude.
AS we had taken account of the old
order. financially and commercially. and
adjusted our affairs to it. we shall have
to take a like account of the new. and
adjust our affairs to 1t.
Our geogra phical position is more ia
vorable than that Of any other great
power in the world. 1t has not been diffi-
cult for us to heed Washington's warn
ing against entaRgling foreign alliances
of a political character, and we have
been wise to heed them.
But Washington spoke before the days
of steam and electricity. He did not see.
because he could not. how those two
marvellous agencies would revolutionize
world relations. and in some ways bring
the great nations close together. and
make them in some things dependent on
one another.
AS no man liveth to himself, no great
nation now liveth to itself. All have
been developing their material resources
and establishing foreign trade. The bulk
of this trade is enormous. Our share
has been gratifyingly large. We have
been trading with all the powers now in
arms. and we shall suffer in some meas
ure from the European hostilities.
though they are not directed at US. We
shall be crippled in our trade, and ham
pered in our larger financial operations.
Europe having closed her bourses we
have been obliged, temporarily, to close
ours. Europe having tied up her mer-
chant marine. and we having none OF our
own. the surplus of our bumper crops.
which would have such enormous value
in the foreign markets is halted at home.
For these reasons the new order abroad
will be most important to US. We shall
want to re-establish our foreign trade.
and increase 1t in every direction. And
when the time comes the men in power
among us will have need of all their wis
dom and experience Their task will be
one of the greatest American statesmen
have ever undertaken.

Northern Illiteracy.


From the Boston Transcript.
Unless we can find some means of
stimulating the campaign against illit-
eracy 1t is merely matter of time
when the positions of the north and the
south viii change places with regard
to that question The manager of the
Industrial League. with headquarters
in New York. announces that the per-
centage of adult illiteratcs in that state
has not decreased in the past twenty
years. The state has stood still more
persistently than any other in the
Union in this respect. Connecticut and
New Jersey follow closely upon its rec
ord. According to the leagues bulle-
tin the south is far outstripping the
north in its efforts to deal with the
problem of illiteracy." While the per-
centage is still greater, it is being cut
down from quarter to II half every
decade. The south's population Is more
homogeneous and more responsive at
least to primary educational influences
