The Things We Know
BY Gilbert Hubbard.

In courts of law the phrase 4 be-
lieve" has no standing.
Never a witness gives testimony but
that he is cautioned thus. Tell US
what you know; not what you be-
lieve"
In theology, belief has always been
regarded as mole important than that
which your senses says is so.
Almost without exception belief is
a legacy
The creed Of he future will begin
Il know" not Il believe"
And this creed will not be forced
upon people
1t will carry with it no coercion. no
blackmail, no promise OF an eternal
life Of idleness and ease if you accept
it, and no threat of hell if you don't
1t will have no paid, professional
priesthood, claiming hOnOrs, rebates
and exemptions.
1t will not organize itself into a sys-
tenn. marry itself TO the state, and call
on the police for support.
1t Will be so reasonable, so in the
line of self-preservation that no sane
man or woman will reject it. And
when we really begin To live il we VIII
cease to talk about it.
As a suggestion and first rough
draft. 1 submit this-I know:
That 1 am here.
In a world where nothing is perma-
nent but change.
And that in degree !, myself, can
change the form of things
And influence a few people
That l am Influenced by these and
other people.
That I am Influenced by the eX-
ample and by the work Of men who
are no longer alive.
And tina the work I now Do will in
degree influence people who may live
after my life has changed into other
forms.
That a certain attitude Of mind and
habit OF action on my part Will add TO
the peace, happiness and well-b being OF
other people
And that a different thought and
action on my part will bring pain and
discord 10 others
That II I would secure reasonable
happiness for myself. ] must give out
good will 10 others
That 70 better my own condition l
must practice mutually,
That bodily health is necessary to
continued and effective work

That habit is a form OF exercise.

Those were interesting replies which
the railroad presidents of the United
States made in the Public Ledger yes
terday to the question whether their
companies contemplated large ex-
penditures for Improvement and
whether in their opinion the business
outlook was good. The attitude OF
most of them was one of caution.
About a third of these representative
Of a hundred thousand miles of rail
road saw signs of improvement. The
rest were either non-cOmmittal or
slightly pessimistic on the subject. Yet,
if their views are summarized and
compared, it will be admitted that they
are more encouraging than discour-
aging If no business boom Is in
sight. there is everything to Justify
watchful waiting
While the railroads are ordinarily
pretty good business barometers, in
the sense that either good times or bad
times are sooner or later reflected in
their operations. it is quite possible
TO argue that in this particular case
the expansion of business is having
for the present its chief effect else
where. The tremendous growth of eX-
ports would not at first make extern
sion of lines or addition of equipment
necessary. All that will undoubtedly
come in time if the general improve
ment in business becomes sufficiently
marked. The swing Of the pendu-
lum." as Sir Donald Mann of the Can
adam Northern said, is toward better
business conditions both in the United
States and Canada. There is no rea-
son for despair OF the future in the
cautious remarks of the railroad men.

This figure is considerably higher

But the pay without board is only
about 81 per week 1t is a poor ap9l-

Additional light on this question was
thrown the other day by a woman
with a wide experience in charity
work in the country. covering condi-
tions in several states. She said that
there is a growing tendency among
farmers to hire their work done by
boys sent out by reform schools.
orphan asylums and other correctional
or philanthropic institutions. These
youngsters will once in a while skip
with such pickings of money or cloth
ing as they can escape with. Also
they are sometimes a demoralizing
factor in a small village of simple
hearted country boys. But as a whole,
these little fellows do fairly good work
and the farm experience is good for
them
The net result. however is 10 set
a standard of low wages for farm help.
and to discourage able bodied men
from taking up agricultural work.
What seems to be needed. in order
to enlarge the supply of food products
and reduce prices, is TO encourage u
greater number Of young men to go
into farming on their own account.
Apparently the only way to bring that
about is some such sound system of
rural credits or land banks as is con-
Quoted so successfully in Europe.
