MR.. BURLEsoN's HASTE

By making haste too rapidly Post
master-General Burleson justified ID
large measure the complaint that the
parcel post has been overloaded. Be
fore the system was a year old, with
out adequate preparations, he extena'
ed the privileges of shippers in sucn
a way that the service is in danger
OF breaking down.
1t was a mistake so soon to raise
the weight limit to fifty pounds. the
postal service was not equal in many
places to the increased burden SUD-
denly imposed upon it. To raise the
weight limit to 100 pounds. as Nj
Burleson proposes, would throw tns
whole business of carrying the mails
into hopeless confusion and add 70
the delays in distribution that have
had the effect OF greatly discreditins
the parcelpost experiment.
When Senator Bristow and BRADY
protest against the admission to the
mails of flfy-pound ore-bag and baby
carriages and other heavy merchan-
disc. they have reason on their SIDE.
The postoffice department is not
equipped for handling that kind OF
freight.
Before Mr.. Burleson ventures upon
any more innovations he should de-
vote himself to projecting the opera
ton of the present parcel post

GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN

! Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends"
! 1t was the Friend of the World who
spoke these words many centuries
ago, in far off Judea, but they breathe
the truth of the ages yet to come.
ITO lay down his life for his
friends"-the wonderful imagery of
the Orient speaks in the praise of that
Man who was the Perfect Friend and
Who, in these words addressed to His
daily companions, placed friendship
abve all other human affections.
'Those friends thou hath, and their
adoption tried, grapple them to thy
soul with hooks of STEEL" says Polo
MUS to Laertes, in that one greatest
of all dramas-Hamlet.
THAT man, that with me trod this
planet, was a noble type" says Ten
nyson, in that wonderful tribute I'm
Memoriam," that he pays his friend,
A. H. H.
And so the master minds Of the
world, human and divine, have exalt-
ed friendship.
And so to us who do not live on the
heights, but who go about our daily
work of earning living, and filling
our humble niche in the world-to us,
too, is given to know the truth that
life can give no nobler title than that
of friend.
To have a friend-this is indeed a
privilege. But to be d friend-how
much greater.
We speak lightly of making friends
and having friends and meeting
friends-but how rare is real friend
ship and how immeasureably
precious that "jewel above price"
Courage, loyalty, steadfastness, that
love that "beareth all things" these
must go to the making of the friend
through "eviI report and good report"
friendship endures
Love sweetens, but friendship en-
mobiles life
The Sage of Concord, in his essay
on Friendship, paid his tribute in
words that were but the reflection of
noble life. And Stevenson, that
brave spirit that was born of pains,
lays his loveliest wreath upon the con-
secrated ground. that Christ first
passed over.
II die daily" said st. Paul, in his
J Epistle to the Corinthians, and it is
this death in life that all must live,
this crucifixion of the spirit that all
must face for friendships sake For
when one becomes a friend he takes
upon himself the obligations of friend
ship, and they are many.
DO not dull thy palm with entertain
ment
''Of each new-hatch'd, unfiedg'd com
rade."
again says Shakespear. And it is
good advice that Polonius gives Laer.
ties.
! To give friendship lightly is to low.
er that which should be highest.
What the master minds of the
world have carved from the hard rock
of daily living must stand as a monu.
ment to their genius-and no one can
say better what they have already
said.
But it is given to all to appreciate
and to love truth on which friend
ship builded-and to strive to reach
the ideal which, like the eidelweise of
the Alps, flowers on the heights

WHY i GO TO CHURCH

It is sweet on a summers morning,
when tie air in aquiver with the love
songs of the birds and fragant with
the cdor of roses blown, to hear the
music of the churchgoing bells, an
invitation to the world-wearied to en-
ter Gods temple and find peace, be-
cause the instinct of worship is in
the heart of man and the church is
the temple of the living God.
go to church because find peace
there, that peace which De Quincy
described as a resting from human
labors, a Sabbath of repose, respite
granted from TIE secret burdens OF
The heart; as il stood at distance
and aloof from the uproar of life; as
if the tumuit and fever and strife
were suspended: as If there broodeo
over me a doye-like and halcyon calm.
| go to church because | like the
music that / hear there, the mighty
roll of the great organ. mingled with
the marvellous symphonies of that
divine stringed instrument, the hu'
man voice, untwisting all the chains
that tie the hidden soul of harmony.
I go to church because l delight to
hear the teachings of the preacher
whose soul in dedicated to God, whose
field is as wide as Gods universe,
whose theme is the destiny of man,
and whose words are the oracles OF
fate. Marvellous is the spell of the
preacher to whom God has given
genius and conservation and the pow
err Of illustration drawn from the
old, sacred, immortal Book, and from
the miracles Of nature, no less re-
vealed up by the p1owshare of Rob-
ert Burns upon the soil of Ayr than
in the long reaches of the star-girt
skies.
go to church because "the way is
dark and ! am far from home" and
because the church is the polar star
to light my pathway in the rayless
night.
l go to church because the church
ministers not only to the spiritual
but also the material needs of life
and because 1t is there that the char
tiles that sootEe and heal and bless
are scattered at the feet of man like
flowers.
I go to church because in that at
mosphere vice and crime wither and
die
I go to church because l hear the
teachings of the philosophy of Jesus,
the Incompatible man: and if you
say his teaching Is philosophy and
not religion and that he was a man
and not a god, then the philosophy
of that man has redeemed the world
from savagery and blessed mankind
with christian civilization, and to
my mind, it is a thing worth while
to hear.
l go to church because l find there
consolation and hope; because l see
there the dawn and not the sunset;
and it is better for man, if the hope
is baseless, and the vision but an elu-
sive phantom, to cherish a dream so
glorious and beautiful than to be

CURRENCY DEMANDS
OF COTTON GROWERS
MAY HOLD UP BILLS
Southern Congressm m e n
Threaten Filibuster
Against War ak Measure
Unless They Are Granted
Requests.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - Southern
members of the House who have been
demanding emergency currency legisla-
ton especially for the benefit of the
cotton growers today, threaten a fill
buster against the war tax bill unless
the Administration and Congress show
some disposition to hear their COM
plants and grant their requests.
AS Representative Henry. chairman of
the Rules Committee, is one of the
chief agitators in favor of a currency
act whereby a billion dollars worth OF
emergency currency would be turned
loose in the South. to be loaned to cot
ton growers, the Southern members be-
lieve they have fair chance to club the
House into submission.
1t is understood that Chairman Henry
will do all he can to make trouble for
the Underwood gag rule which is ne ces-
sary to get the war tax bill passed un-
less he finds that his cotton currency
bill will get chance
The Ways and Means Committee have
planned TO get the war tax bill through
the House in a hurry tomorrow after
noon under gag rule and steam roller
methods.
If enough Southern Democrats Join
with the Republicans to vote against the
rule and conduct a real filbuster, there
are grave doubts as to the passage of the
measure.
