HOPE AND HAPPINESS
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

If hopes were all realized some day, the next
day no one would believe in God.
Heaven is built upon the pillars of hope NO
one looks forward to immortality because he is
happy; 1t is because he hopes.
Hope is the eye of the soul; happiness is its
stomach
When the divine workmen make men and wom-
en- they do not give them happiness, lest they turn
from life with loathing; they give them hope,
which makes them cling passionately to life.
In happiness the strings of life's harp are
loosened and discord; all music, all harmony,
comes from hope, which keeps the strings taut
The creed of happiness is for groundlings; the
creed of hope make heroes.
If heaven is the complete satisfaction of our
longings, then we are happier here than we will be
there.
Therefore that other life must be as this, per-
petual reaching forward, an unceasing advance,
rainbow after rainbow, illusion appearing after dis
solving illusion.
There is no end, no goal, no moment when the
high soul can say: "It is enough; let this moment
last forever!"
o. tie essential distinguishing characteristic
of man is progress; the law of his nature is de-
velopment; and the constant instinct that func-
lions in him so long as he exists is hope.
Hence long we hope we are immortal.
When we are stated, taste death.
Memories are always little sad, the present Is
always a little disappointing; hope alone is UNI
stained joy.
The general order from heaven to humanity is:
Go on!

Our Cotton Goods Trade.

particularly interesting development in the
country's foreign trade is the increase in exports
of cotton goods to peaceful markets. The ship
ments of such goods from New York alone
amounted to million, one hundred and seventeen
thousand dollars for the first week of October The
total receipts of the kind the past months
were approximately thirty million dollars, COM
pared with something less than twenty-five millions
last year.
1t is noteworthy that large part of this in
crease was in South American orders. The New
York Commercial reports that some merchants in
South America 'are interested enough in cot
ton goods to pay for them before shipments
made" That of course, is not generally true, for
Latin Americans accustomed to liberal business
terms but the cases the Commercial notes
highly significant. Central America and the West
Indies buying our cotton goods more extern
sively than ever before. Canada also has developed
into an important customer for such goods; in the
past seven months the Dominion bought some fifty
million yards, valued at nearly five million millions

HOME MAKES OR BREAKS
BY H. ARLINGTON BRUCE

one quarter of 1 per cent committed petty crimes
and were arrested, and II per cent left their
homes and disappeared
'The great proportion have grown up respect
able men and women, creditable members of soct-
ety. Many have acquired property, and no incon-
siderable number of them have attained positions
of honor and trust"
Many similar records might be cited, from our
own land and from foreign countries. Always the
outcome is the same.
Give child no matter how bad his hered1ty the
benefit of a good home upbringing, and the odds
are long that in after years he will be decent,
useful citizen.
On the opposite, give child a bad home up
bringing, and, no matter how good his hered1ty ne
will have a slim chance Of turning out we'll.
Today this is so generally recognized by students
of sociology that those who most strongly en-
phasize the influence of heredity find it necessary
to admit, in the words of the American cr1m1nolo-
gist, Arthur Mcdonald:
""The great bulk of youthful offenders come
from the homes where parental control and interest
are lax or non-exstent. This is perhaps one Of the
main causes of the general increase Of crime among
the young"
Or, as the English criminologist, Charles E. B.
Russell says:
''In case after case it is the homes that are no
homes that are primarily responsible for the law
breaking tendencies of young jailbirds.
Parents yours is the opportunity, yours the re-
sponsibility AS you train your boys and girls, so
will they become good or bad men and women. OF
this there can be no doubt.
Above all else, 1t is the home that makes or
breaks.

- is not what child inherits, it is the training
he gets in the home that counts for most in
the shaping of his This is a fact not
a theory.
1t is a fact that has been demonstrated again
and again in various ways Most impressively has
it been demonstrated by the results of wise home
bad heredity and often with record of delinquency
before being put into good homes.
In Minnesota a special study made of the
moral condition of about one hundred young peo-
pie, seventeen years old and upward for whom
foster-parents had been found by the state when
they children.
One both of their parents had been of
bad character. On the heredty theory these young
people were doomed to become of bad character
themselves
But it was found that in reality SO per cent of
them growing to splendid manhood and
womanhood. That is, whatever evil tendencies
they had inherited had in the case of nearly all
been checked by enlightened home training.
OF similar group of children in Wisconsin
nearly so per cent did we'll when placed in good
homes. OF the few who did not do well-onIy
six children all told-it discovered that in two
cases the homes in which they had been placed
were not really good.
More striking still are the results of the work
of the New York Children's Aid society.
In half century this society found homes for
nearly thirty thousand slum children, besides plac
ing many thousands Of older boys and girls of un-
favorable heredity. Keeping careful record of
the careers of their wards, the socety's officials
have been able to report:
"Eighty-seven per cent have done we'll, per
cent returned to New York, per cent died.

= IFE is composed of two elements, hope and
happiness.
Those who have not happiness have hope,
and hope is better than happiness.
Hope feeds the future, which is infinite. Hap
piness is of the present time which is but
point.
Hope is a stimulant. Happiness is anodyne
Happiness is easily destroyed; a memory,
word, fear is fatal. Hope Springs eternal in the
human breast.
Hope is sunshine Happiness is a candle in the
wind.
No one be happy forever; but we can hope
forever.
Whenever you gain a happiness you lose hope.
But the more hopes the happier.
With happiness comes safety. No man has his
fill of hope.
The pleasure of happiness comes from satisfac-
ton; the pleasure of hope from continuous unsats-
fedness.
Happiness is momentary feast; hope an ever
lasting hunger
1t better travel than to arrive. 1t is better
to struggle than to succeed
Life itself is an illusion; they that dwell in
hope are in perpetual illusion and hence taste more
life Among the happy illusion ceases.
Among the failures who dream of success,
among the young who expect to do great things,
among the poor who to become rich, among
the lovers who are drunk with anticipation, among
all who have not yet attained the bounties OF hope
are distributed.
That is why the earth is full of happiness.
That is why believe the Deity to be good.

Wilson and the ProgreSSires.

In appealing to Progressives the nation over to
vote for the reelection of President Wilson, John
NJ Parker of New Orleans, takes the only position
which any sincere and thoughtful Progressive can
hold. At his partys convention in Chicago last
June-the convention which marked Mr.. Roose-
velt's betrayal of the cause he had espoused so
vehemently in 1912-Mr Parker was nominated
for the Vice Presidency. He accepted the nominal
tion despite the fact that it amounted to nothing
politically, as he says, except large volume of
ridicule" because ito have declined it would have
placed him in Mr.. RoOsevelts traitorous attitude
TO the principles that brought the convention to-
gether. Thus in important sense Mr.. Parker
is today the leader Of the Progressive party. He
stood stanchly by its coors when the Colonel him
self was beating hurried retreat to the reaction
airy Republican camp. His plea for Mr.. Wilson's
reelection is therefore, peculiarly significant.
In his address to a gathering of Progressives
at New York City last week, Mr.. Parker said:
81 am not a Democrat, but l believe the
thanks of this nation due Woodrow Wilson
for what he has accomplished in the way of
Progressive legislation that has brought
told happiness and prosperity to our people,"
The fact is the Wilson administration has put into
effect more of the principles embodied in the orig
inaI platform of the Progressive party than that
party itself probably could have carried out had
it been successful in 1912. The entire Democratic
course under Wilson leadership has been forward
looking liberal and constructive. And its record

Merchant Marine Losses.

The most reliable estimates of merchant ma
rine loses in the war are lower than might be ex-
pected. From statistics gathered by French au-
thorties, it appears that between August 1, 1914
and May 1, 1916, total of one thousand, four
hundred and seventy-ive merchant vessels, having
a gross tonnage of three million, three hundred
and twenty-five thousand destroyed or wholly
disabled. That represents little more than one
sixth of the worlds aggregate tonnage.
The fact that the losses have been no heavier is
due largely to the Allies control of the seas. Had
the German navy broken from its fastness and re-
NAMED at large for any considerable length of
time Allied shipping would have suffered far more
severely AS II was, however German sea raids
have been limited to submarines and to a few
cruisers which for while escaped British vigilance
The French authority reports the losses nation
by nation, follows: British, six hundred and
forty vessels; French sixty-three; German, four
hundred and forty-one Austrian forty-nine;
American, three; Dutch, twenty; Norwegian, one
hundred. Germanys losses, according to the French
estimate, represent eighteen per cent of her total
merchant marine tonnage it was at the begin
ming of the war, while England's losses represent
seven per cent of that country's total. The Cur
rent History magazine which reproduces these fig
ures notes that the French statistics do not take
account of the losses from May l, 1916, to Sep
TENDER 1, 1916, period during which shipping
losses among the Allies was heavy

Republican SectionaliSnl.

ANY man who revives the issue of sec
tionalism in this country is unworthy of the
confidence of the nation He shows himself
provincial; he shows that he himself does not
know the various sections of his own country;
he shows that he has shut his own heart up in
little province and that those who do not seek
the special interests of that province are to
him sectional, while he alone is national. That
is the depth of anti-patriotic feeling"
These words from President Wilson's speech at
Indianapolis are a deserved rebuke to the Repub-
lican effort to arouse Northern jealousy and pre-
JUDGE against the South From the outset of the
present campaign Mr.. Hughes lieutenants have at
tackled the Democratic administration the ground
that Southern men are its leaders. Mr. Hughes
himself has professed pous alarm over the fact
that the majority of the committee chairmanshps
in Congress are now held by Southern Senators and
Representatives. Senator Lodge has declared with
pathetic indignation that the Southern States are
getting more money from federal appropriations
than New England is getting. few weeks ago
the Republican Congressional Committee sent out
as a campaign document the following statement
''The irony of fate was never so apparent
as in the workings of the Democratic party.
Had anyone been found so bold as to prophecy
that the time would come when the Union sol
der would see the entire Government, which
he saved, under full control of the States which
attempted to destroy it, he would have been re-
garded as candidate for the asylum. That
time is now reached The South rides at the
head of the procession. The President and his
family are Southern in birth and sympathies"
The fact that the Republicans desperate for
an issue does not warrant them in appealing to
dead sectionalism. That spirit is despicable
N many respects than Hyphensim. 1t is indeed
the depth of anti-patriotic feeling

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Sept. 26-Cotton hes
itated on the opening of the market
today because of uncertainty over the
first October notices. Initial prices
were 1 to 3 points under yesterdays
close, but there was a quick advance
when it was reported only 1900 bales
were being rendered against October
in this market. Half an hour after
the opening, prices were 4 to 6 points
over yesterdays finals.
Enough selling met the advance
to change the trend of the market, al
though the ring became dull. Toward
noon prices were A to 6 points under
yesterdays close.
1t was a small market in the after
noon and prices barely moved. At 1 80
the trading months were at a net

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Sept. 26.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet dur
ing today's early trading. Cables
were relatively steady, but there was
some scattering liquidation of Octob-
err here; owing to the circulation of
few notices and the opening was 3
points lower to points higher. Early
estimates placed the notices at only
1000 bales and the offerings of Oc-
tober were quickly absorbed with spot
houses among the buyers. The mar
ket soon steadied in consequence, with
October working up from 1880 to
1892, while December advanced from
1910 to 1913 with the general list
selling about 6 to points net higher.
Private cables reporte a small market
in Liverpool, with prices influenced
by the strength of Egyptian.
Trading was very quiet in the late
morning with prices sagging back to
about last nights closing figures un-
der local realizing inspired by the
easy closing of Lovernonl and the alb
sence of any aggressive support.
The market remained quiet during
the early afternoon, but held generally
steady with active months ruling or
8 points above last nights closing
figures. There seemed no fresh news
feature to inspire interest and traders
were believed to b waiting for a bet
line on the October bureau which is
to be published next Monday.
