what this country can spare for ex-
port will compensate to some extent
for the fact that we have less to sell
abroad. High prices for what he sells
at home will largely compensate the
farmer for his smaller yield. But they
will hardly make possible any such re-
suits as those of our grain trade in the
first two years of the present war,
and even with the "carry-over' from
the harvest of 1915, they will give no
such grain tonnage to American rail-
roads as that of 1915 and 1914.
This is the one perplexing economic
influence Immediately in sight. Its eff
fects on American prosperity may be
offset or wholly superseded by the
other powerful forces at work in our
finance and industry-notably the stu
pendously large export of steel and
other metals used for war material. 1t
is nevertheless a reminder that recent
conditions in the field of American
trade are not wholly free from the
possibility Of change or modification
even while war continues. All such
considerations have a part, even on
the Stock Exchange, in prudent mems
"discounting" of the future.

YOUR GOVERNMENT IS AS GOOD
AS YOU DESERVE.

There is an exceedingly suggestive
article about 1.-The Christian in Poll
ties in the November Woman's Home
Companion, in which the writer says:
Government is what the voters
make it. A government which is in
competent or extravagant or cruel or
selfish blocks the progress of the king
dom of God. Liberty. justice pros
perity, peace, all depend upon the
character and ideals of the men who
make the laws and administer them:
ard who these men shall be is deter
mined by the men to whom the fran
ctise has been granted.
I'm the United States, every COM
munity has as good a government as
it deserves. 1t is as good as its citi
zens are willing to make it. If the
government of any city or town is op-
pressive or wasteful or rotten, it is its
own citizens who must be held respon-
sible. Extravagant and laundering
governments are the scourges with
which the Almighty 1ashes the back
of communities whose citizens are to1
indolent and selfish to do their duty.
Every Christian man is under
bonds to vote. 1t is his duty to keep
himself informed in regard to candi-
dates and measures. His finger should
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-10-23

be held constantly on the political
pulse. He should take hold with both
hands of the political work which
needs to be done. Prayer has it's place
but prayer without work is futile The
prayermeeting is deserving of pune
tual attendance, so also is the caucus.
A Christian should partake of the
Lords Supper: so should he, also, par
ticipate in the battle to be fought on
election day. If we are to pray, Thy
kingdom come we must do all in
our power to make it possible for it
to come. 1t will never come so long
as evil men are exalted, and ungoldly
bosses and schemers are allowed to
work their will in the concuct of pub
lie affairs. It is absurd tc pray, Thy
will be done on earth as It is done in
heaven unless we give the assistance
of our vote to the men whom God
will find it possible to use in the work.

Fou. just Two Minutes.
by Ruth CAMERON.

For just Two Minutes.
How difficult it is to get even in
telligent people to act together!
We had a little illustration of it
that greatly interested me one day
last summer
A group of about twenty of us were
having a campfire supper. We had
supped, we had romped with the chill
dren, and finally we had gathered in
a semi-circle about the fire.
Start a song" said someone.
Nobody responded. Everyone wait
ed for some one else.
Then some one made a good sug-
gestion. Lets go around the circle
and each start some song he likes"
usual discussion as to which end the
singing should start, we got under
way.
1t was an excellent arrangement 1t
gave each person chance to have his
favorite song sung, it gave everyone
an opportunity to contribute his share,
it made it possible for each one to
plan ahead what he should do when
his turn came.
1t should have worked perfectly,
and it did for almost five minutes.
Then some one on the opposite side
of the circle was seized with an in
SEPARATION at just the moment when it
was some one else's turn to sing.
Next some one else who had al
ready had a turn had another idea,
and then some one whose turn it was
couldn't think of song and did think
of one two minutes later. when it
wasn't his turn. Just as the last per-
son in the circle, small girl who had
been waiting intensely for her turn,
was about to announce her choice, a
grownup cried, Now, let's finish up
with, Goodnight. Ladies. "
Now, of course, except for the one
disappointment, it didn't really mat
ter whether we stood by our arrange
! ment or not, but it did show how
hard it is for people to act together.
The ability to cooperate intelli-
gently is not a common virtue
We wonder that our governments
are not more efficient. Is it not large

Government is one of the most COM
pick forms of corporations If we
are incapable of the simplest, what
wonder we are incapable of that?

rights of others. and keeping your eye

Americas great prosperity is in it
self responsible for the high cost of
living" This is the dictum of Mr.. Won
Engelken. director of the United
States mint. And there can be no
doubt but Mr.. Won Engelken is COR
rect in this deduction. 1t is an eco
nomic rule, which apparently has no
exceptions. that prosperity and high
prices always walk together. But the
trouble with such a condition of af-
fairs is that the high prices which
come with a great wave of prosperity
lay their heavy hands on great null
titude of the people, the consumers.
who seldom and even indirectly reap
any pecuniary advantages from the
prosperity. They merely get the dis
advantages of its high prices.

Colonel Roosevelt has been having
one of those bully times of his down
in the far southwest where he is so
well acquainted and where the people
are patterned so after his own heart.
And, incidentally, he appears to have
been making considerable hay for the
Republican cause. One thing is poIit-
ically certain this year. If the Repub-
licans should go down to defeat, they
assuredly cannot place any blame for
it on the shoulders of the colonel.
