The genius Of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds OF today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving it. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach In creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization, the mar
velous achievements Of the tremend-
GUS men of the present day. Edison
can press a button and turn light
on multiplied millions OF homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions of people; Nc
Cormick's reaper can harvest the
worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en-
CINE moves the commerce OF land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did it; Kings decree 1t, and
wise men teach it. 1t is the glory OF
this practical age that Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
the janitor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind; Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry. and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for its servants.

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia. the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of horse. the
bark of dog or the bray of a donkey,
it would be great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry UNI
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the pillow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys of civilization.

A WOMAN ORATOR PLEADS FOR PEACE

Perhaps the most arresting per-
sonality at the International Con-
gress of Women recently held at The
Hague was that of Ida Gustava
Heymann of Munich. Long limbed
and somewhat gaunt of face and
form, the first impression she made
was of a plain woman. But | soon
forgot her looks in the impression
she gave of intellectual and spiritual
power. Presently / became fascin-
ated with something heroic in her
appearance. And finally l recog-
nized in her sort of compelling,
elemental beauty.
Her speaking was extraordinary.
She stood erect, her head uplifted,
and used no gestures. Her voice was
deep and at great volume. The long
sentences of the German idiom
poured forth in sonorous cadences,
and swept one along as by a mighty
food. Although only a word here
and there was Ineligible to me,
had feeling as if | understood all
she said.
l have since CHANGED upon an APP
peal to Women of all Nations, over
her signature, among Group of Let
tiers from Women of the Belligerent
Nations which was published by the
Woman's Peace Party, which
breathes this great woman's very
spirit. She writes:
Summers glory was shattered by
the lightning of the most frightful
of all wars. and all Europe was set
on fire.
Women of all the belligerent
states. with head high and courage
Gus heart, gave their husbands to
protect the Fatherland. Mothers
and maidens unfalteringly let their
sons and sweethearts go forth to
death and destruction.
AT home women labored and
strove without pause or rest to pro-
vide against the spiritual, physical.
and economic distress resulting from
the crisis. Summer passed, autumn
came and went we are now in mid
winter.
