Just A Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius.
(The Sunshine Mani

MY DECISION.
/ decide henceforth to make it the
rule of my life to spend at least fifteen
minutes a day, preferably in the early
morning, in religious meditation, read
ing, and prayer.
BY DIR, Y. II. HARMAN.
Again we bring you back face to
face with the quiet, devotional mo-
ments of the early morning hour.
There are things that sometimes mar
these moments and make them fruit
less.
Sometimes an overindulgence at the
previous meal will so disarrange the
minute organs of the body that they
will lily perform their functions. and
in these early morning quiet moments
the mind and soul do not experience
that keenness so necessary to true
quiet hour devotion. The mind may be
dull and in at ease i'm the quiet mo-
ments. lntemperance along any line
will blunt the keenness of the soul to
grasp God, and thus thwart the very
purpose of those early. quiet moments
of setting the soul Alright for the days
devotions and duties.
Solomon's injunction was not far
out of the way when he said, Put
knife TO thy throat If thou be man
given to appetite" Over-indulgence
along these lines will paralyze the
mental and spiritual aspirations and
beget an indifference that simply
means failure. Guard thyself. Keep
thyself For these quiet moments we'll
kept arc worth more to you than all Of
the delicacies Of the kings. No life can
over-indulge in these things and at the
same time be what God has marked
out for that life to be. We should
learn to cat as we'll as to work for the
glory of God.

WILSON Am THE UNEMPLOYEp

~ our front page yesterday published a photo
" graph II showed 600 men storming the plant of
the Harlan and Holngsworh Corporation in search of
work
That crowd represented less than one-tenth of the
great army of unemployed in own city of less than
100000 population who have been thrown out of work
under the Wilson administration t is estimated that
there are more than 5000 men, and knows how
many suffering here from enforced idleness
at the present time. Many others working part
time
Hundreds OF who keenly averse to be-
coming objects of charity find themselves in positions
which compel them to plead for help. Soup houses,
employment bureaus and relief agencies of various
sorts being called upon TO exercise their good
Offices to relieve the suffering of men, women and
children.
How do such conditions comport with the promises
Of prosperity and low cost of living made by Mr. VIII
and his campaign managers in 1912 and since?
That is a question every Wilmngtonian should ask
and TO which he should demand answer from those
who are responsible for President Wilson and his
policies.

.wAsHy,sy DIAMOND JUBILEE.

VIZ HlLE all Wilmingonians could not have the
wv pleasure of participating in the diamond jubilee
OF the Washington Fire Company, they at least could
find pleasure in the fact that of the best OF their
hre-hghting organizations had attained the
stately age of seventyhve years and yet felt young
enough TO celebrate the event with the spirit of
throe-year-old
The people of our city hold the Washington Fire
Company in such anoctonate regard because of its
three-quarters of century OF valiant protective
vice that they feel they would be doing it an injury
were they to refer to it by its full name. "Washy'
Il has been in years gone by, and "Washy" 1t will be
In years TO come. The company has written its
name largely local history, and that too, in an
honorable way.
It would be interesting to knew how many lives and
how many millions OF dollars worth of property this
volunteer organization has saved during the seventy
five years it has been operating in the local field. If
the services of such company, that fights fire for
the very love of fighting IT, could be reduced to
crete figures, the totals would be stupendous.
We fecitate 'Washy" upon what II has done iH-
the past We congratulate it that Il is such wide
awake organization in tho present Il is earnest
hope that 1t will preserve its protective potentality
for many years to come and suffer impairment in
public confidence and esteem.

With the announced appointments
to the Federal Trade Commission the
circle of commission government of
business is completed. Presumably
if the Senate refuses to confirm his
nominations the President will make
recess appointments of them. Then all
our important economic activities
within the constitutional reach of
Washington will proceed under ma
tional control, the Interstate Com
merce Commission running transpor-
tation services. the Federal Reserve
Board running the banks and the
Federal Trade Commission running
manufacture and commerce.
The Secretary of Commerce some
time ago invented the phrase mental
mourning" TO describe what was in
administration eyes a reprehensibly
depressed business attitude toward
the political creations of the New
Freedom. but in his choice for the
Federal Trade Commission President
Wilson has made II just so much
harder for corporate enterprise to re-
cover confidence. II may be said that
there is nothing very much against
his appointees except that there is
nothing for them. but is not that bad
enough from the business point of
view?
Even the business career Of Mr..
Hurley. on which so much emphasis
is laid, is not enough to alter the fact
that it is a typical New Freedom
commission, such as might have been
expected 10 emerge from the source
which discovered the astonishing
