THE DAYS WORK

TH1S is the task appointed: To hold
the vision of final arrival at some
= fitting destination; to maintain un-
diminished a sense of personal WORTH
ness; to be defeated in each foolish dream
of the younger life, and to be disciplined
into a larger vision, made more sure by
adversely; to be delayed for most Of a
lifetime and yet to believe in the strength
of the human spirit to surmount pain,
outlive sin, and defeat malice and envy; to
believe in the gradual but all-conquering
power of good will; to be saddened but
not embittered; to be beaten but not con-
quered. That is the stern business set
before us.-Collier's.

SOLDIERS WANT NO CHILDREN

I asked Zeni Peshkoff, Socialist, what his
sensations were when he went out to
kill. ct didn't seem real, it doesn't
now. Before my last charge the lieu
tenant and | were filled with the beauty
of the night. We sat gazing at the stars.
Then the command came and we rushed
forward. 1t did not seem possible | was
killing human beings" 1t is the unreality
that sustains men. Germans are not hui
man beings-only the enemy. For the
wounded French soldier will tell you he
loathes war and longs for peace. He fights
for one object-a permanent peace. He
fights to save his children from fighting.
Have you any children?" l asked one
soldier mo, thank Cod" is the reply
"But why?" Because" comes the fierce
answer, eff had son l would rather he
deserted than see what have SEEN" This
man is not unusual The soldiers-not
the women-are beginning to say: eve
will have no more children unless there
is no more war"

BUSINESS AND FAITH

THE WORLD is growing better. Ihere
are more honest people than dis
honest. Most men you meet would
rather be straight than crooked. Most
women would rather be good than bad
Almost all children will grow up indust-
rious and gentle if they have. a chance.
| am not arguing this. | am stating 1T,
as a creed The person who believes it
will find this world mighty good and
pleasant place. Whoever does not believe
it will become sour and wretched, il not
already so.
A lady was looking around in the glass
ware section of big department store the
other day. She had priced a vase. 1t
was $40. The clerk had gone away and
the lady continued to inspect the beauti-
full objects all about Suddenly her coat
caught the self-same vase. 1t fell and
was shattered CHANGING around she saw
no one near She went over to the other
side of the room, found the clerk, and said
to him:
81 have accidentally knocked that $40
vase from the table and broken it. | have
not the money with me, but here is my
card Send me the bill and | will pay for
it. It was my fault, | was awkward
"The manager says that's all right,
Mrs. Blank it was accidental. There is
nothing to pay
The LADY, was dumfounded. But she
was a permanent customer OF that store
ever after.
This is not an isolated case. Merchants
of the more intelligent type are learning
that it pays to trust people, and to treat
them with generous courtesy.
The old era when everybody was con-
sidered thief and had to be watched, is
passing.

ing chances that generation ago would
have seemed absurd.
I asked the credit man of a huge whole
sale and retail concern in Chicago the
other day, how much he lost in bad debts,
what proportion of buyers defaulted. His
answer was: ''Less than two-thirds of one
per cent.
cit is curious thing" said the post
master of large town in Illinois to me
some time ago, "that most men who by
mistake receive cent or two too much
change at the stamp window voluntarily
come and give it back. It looks like they
would rather not have the money than to
have the consciousness that they have
money that doesn't belong to them"
Of course we are impressed by the man
who swindles us more than by the twen-
ty who deal fairly. We forget that the
average is twenty to one.

The Duluth Herald is strongly advo-

the state constitution down to the present

that the Herald has tackled. But it has
tackled many such before and put them
over, too. From the Herald's viewpoint
a revised constitution is necessary to
prune the legislative tree which has be-
come SO burdened with dead timber that
it has ceased to bear fruit. There may
be better ways than the Herald's of rem
edying the trouble, but so far none has
been suggested.

PROTEST
TAKESFORM
Will Not Be So Strong
As Was First
Planned

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The
United States protest against the
Anglo-French blockade of European
waters is slowly taking form. At
tomorrow's cabinet meeting II is ex-
pected to be in shape so that the
main points will be indicated.
Meanwhile. 1t is already certain
that the original plan OF blanket
protest, couched in strong terms. has
been abandoned. The promises
made informally to Ambassador
Page at London that the allies fully
intend to limit their zone OF action
has solved one of the main points.
This government will be satisfied
with radius OF 1000 miles from
coast lines and the allies do not
want to assume responsibility even
for that distance, according to the
best word obtainable here.

PARIS. March 22.-"The Yep

thing waiting for them they weren't
looking for. Maybe they won't go

A wellknown English aviator. cali
ed here by an aeronautical confer.
ence. three days ago. made this sig
nificant remark today. He was COM
menting upon the Zeppelin raid on
Paris early yesterday, in which eight
persons were injured, several fires
started and some property damage
done by two German airships that
dropped about so bombs In a cruise
above the city and its suburbs.
We weren't quite prepared for
the Boches this time." admitted the
Englishman. I'VE knew that as
soon as spring came and the winter
squalls were over they'd ny over
Paris and probably made an attack
on London.
But we didn't expect them quite
so soon. The precaution taken by
the French flying corps last fall had
BEEN somewhat relaxed. But we
have something up our sleeve as
the Americans say. The next Yep
pelin that starts for Paris will get
the surprise OF Its life"
