MAKING n PERFECT WORLD.

An prohibition worker of Engewood, n j,
has written leter-apparently quite serious-to New
York newspaper in which he says
Il regard the antiquor crusade as merely the begin
ming of much larger movement movement that will
have its watchword Efficiency by Government. If
had l would not only close up the saloons and
race tracks would close all tobacco shops, confec
onery stores decatessen shops and other places where
gastronomc deviltries are purveyed-aI low theaters
and bathing beaches would forbid the selling of gam
bling devices such playing cards dice checkers and
chess SETS would forbid the holding sociaisc anar-
chstic and atheistic meetings. / would abolish dancing
I would abolish the sale of tea and coffee and would
forbid the making of pastry pie cake and such
like trash"
If that is what the prohibition movement is leading up
sober citizens will be disposed sup
port prohibition. We're quite ready yet have
moral diery perfection thrust upon us Most of us
want a little liberty to amuse ourselves and even to
abuse ourselves.
The trouble with such reomers is that they're
trying the speed up human virtue by sitting the moral
safety valve. If a normal forbidden drink
smoke, to shows play cards dance, drink coffee and
pie, how long would it be before something would
bust? And how long would any community stand such
repression without exploding?
For the sake Of reform the prohbitonsts would
do well TO restrain such fanatics

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY RIsINe.

The South is finding that it isn't badly off after all
Putting cotton the contraband list the thing that was
feared than anything has had little effect so
far and has been followed by slight rise in price
instead of a runous decline
Many factors tend to encourage the South. The peo-
pie realize how far their fears of last year fell short
Of realization The cotton growers money
the low prices but they sold almost much cotton
abroad twelve months in either Of the two years
previous It seems likely that sim more of the cotton
will be needed both home and abroad this year The
demand for It as material for explosives is constantly
increasing Moreover England is expected to do every
thing possible strengthen the cotton market in order
counterac the antBritlsh sentiment developed in the
South by her embargo
Not the least helpful factor has been the action of the
secretary of the treasury in announcing placing of
S3OOOOOOO in gold the disposal the cotton belt

REAL ENEMIES.

thousand ills Of body mind and soul"
They are doing It even now more than most of us
think The horror of obscures the wholesome gem
erous constructive movements that are going sim
ultaneously with it, and mixed up with it.
It isn't all hate and cruelty and bitterness and false
hood Noble emotions found side by side with deadly
passions. In the very worst aspects of war wlr be
found traces of pure and unseish purpose
Many of the beigerent nations and individuals are
wrong-possbly they all wrong. But to the credit
Of human nature it must be admitted that nearly all of
them think they right and willingly heroic sacr-
fees for what they be their duty the

100 MUCH RAcE PRIDE.

Was there ever so much pride in the world as
there is today2 The war originated in pride of race
with its progress the sentiment has been famed
conaagraton sweeping Europe and probably destined
to sweep the world.
Germany wanted place in the sun" for Teutons
Russia wanted place for savs. Nov dozen other
races and ofshoots and mixtures before dgnfed
by the name of races, are clamoring for recognition
The English are conscious as never before of their
Anso-saxon blood and ideals and their ambition for
supremacy The French today are more Gallo than their
purerbIooded forefathers We're and determined to
unite the whole race under their own flag Italy is
striving with amazing unanimity the redemption
of outlying Italian communities from the foreign yoke
The Balkan nations have ali caught the fever Bulgaria
lis eager to extend our frontiers until they embrace
the peoples of blood" Serbia wants to gather
in all the Serbs Rumania wants the Rumanians Of
Pennsylvania and Bessarabia Greece wants the scat
tered Helenes of The Aegean and Asia Minor. The
Poles whose nationality vanished than a century
ago yearn to be nation again Even the Czechs are
ambitious for separate statehood Jews scattered
through the world 1000 years ago are drawn closer
the Zionist movement is strengthened.
There are many admirable phases of this racial
pride 1t is the spirit Of liberty Of progress, Of creative
zeal And yet there mounful sides to it. 1t tends
strongly racial egotsm and jingoism; it blows the
flames of war sn hotter scorning compromise and post
ponng DAY of peace. It may drive the nations to
exhaustion as ancient Greece spent its strength in fac
tiona warfare make the races oversensitive self
conscious selfish and quarrelsome.
