DO "Reviynls" Helm,

Modern revivalism was given a
heavy blow by Dr. Henry Frederick
Cope, al the recent annual meeting
Of the American rabbis in Detroit.

DR.. Cope probably had Billy sun

might be different. Sundays de-
tenders answer this criticism with
the retort that it is better to hold
men in line for little while than
not at all.
The reply 10 this. as to all other
of the violent or emotional species
of eIhortation, is that once a person
thus influenced backslides. IL is ex-
tremely difficult to move him again.
Religion of the more stable type has
to-day Joined hands with psychology
Together they have learned that the
conversion built on gradual. reason
able methods is more likely to be
permanent. The conversion due to
emotional excitement or hysteria is
likely to fail. once the mental and
nervous intoxication has worn itself
out.
Whatever the exact truth. the fact
remains that reyivalism is to-day less
popular than ever in religious his

Fighting Unfairly.

AS is the fate Of every sane.
level-headed man. President Wilson
is between two fires in this matter
of the appointment of Paul War
burg as a member of the Federal
Reserve Board. On the one hand
are the timid souls who see in every
aggressive move of the President a
menace of executive interference
and the stalwart Republicans who
lose no opportunity to embarrass a
Democratic administration. On the
other hand are the radicals and
dema gogues who fear. or profess to
fear. every man who has ever been
tainted by association with business
interests, and prefer those whose
only contribution to the upbuilding
OF the country has been by way of
the mouth.
These things are to he expected
and accepted as "A part of public life.

Unjust TO the Colonel.

The eX-President. il is under
stood. thinks that the time has not
come for him to commit himself"
says a press dispatch from Oyster
Bay. referring 10 the New York gu
bernatorial nomination. But hasn't
he already committed himself en-
phatically three times? Hasn't the
time come for the correspondents to
stop accusing Mr.. Roosevelt of false
hood, as they do every time they
speculate as TO what he will do?
When has Mr.. Roosevelt ever denied
that he would be a candidate that
he did not keep his word? After the
splendid exhibition OF courage and
honesty he gave in 1912 in refus-
ing 10 run for the presidency. just
because he had pledged himself not
10 do so, any denial on his part
should be accepted without rcserva-
'ion. The correspondents and the
Bull Moosers should stop holding
Mr.. Roosevelt up befor. the country
as q man whose word cannot be de-
pended upon.

by her citizens and commercial or

Sex Hygiene.

Sex hygiene should be taught. but
il should not DO taught In the
schools. Sex knowledge is desirable If
rightly taught but it is not desir-
able if wrongly acquired. The trou-
BILE now is that il is acquired
wrongly. and to attempt to meet the
danger by substituting one wrong
means of acquisition for another is
foolish. The method and spirit OF
the acquisition may counterbala
all the good the knowledge may be
expected to do, and. after all. as
said at the meeting of the National
Education Association, knowledge
does not make virtue. The associa-
lion acted wisely in going on rec
ord as opposed to the teaching of
sex hygiene in the schools.

The Motor Truck.

The office of the Secretary of State
of New York has given out state
ment to the effect that motor trucks
have Increased in number from 9,S06
in 1912 to total of 13,S07 for the
first three months of the current
year. Of course, the larger propor-
ton of the trucks are in New York
City.
Probably in no field has the self
propelled vehicle made such marvel
Gus Roadway as in the field occupied
by the motor truck. At first this
form of transportation was received
with skepticism. Business men who
accepted the automobile for profess
sional and pleasure purposes doubted
the ability of its big brother TO dis
place the mule and the horse.
1t did not take long for the manu-
facturers to dispel these doubts. And
with the demonstration OF the COM
mercial utility of the motor truck.
the science OF urban and suburban
delivery underwent revolution. In
vestigation disclosed that when total
costs were all in, the motor truck so
far outdistanced animal power as to
leave ground for no comparison.
There are still few small indus
tries not exactly adapted to the
motor truck, but oven these are
being brought into subsection by eX-
pert investigation and the steady
march of improvement.
One of the chief appeals of the
motor truck is its f1exiblity If you
are in earnest in your campaign to
reduce expenses. consult with some
truck agent in whom you have con-
fidence and let him make an analysis
of your needs. This he will do care
fully. If you can use a truck at a
saving. he will sell you one. If
your business is not suited 10
the truck. he will not sell YOU one
since ii is not to his interest TO
create customers who feel they have
been "stung." But the probabilities
are that. so flexible are the uses of
the truck, and SO many types made.
that You will find one an economy
factor in your line.
