Has Faith in Americans.

II believe that Americans can manu-
facture goods better than anybody
else: that they can sell goods IS hon
estly as anybody else; that they can
find out the conditions and meet the
| conditions of foreign business better
than anybody else. and ! want to see
them given a chance right away, and
they will be whether l want them to
be or not. We have been trying to get
ready for it. The national banks OF
the United States, until the recent cur
rency act, were held back by the very
terms of the law under which they OPP
Grated from some of the most lmpor-
tant Internal ional transactions. To my
mind that is one of the most amazing
facts of our commercial history. The
Congress of the United States was not
willing that the national banks should
have a latch key and go away from
home. They were afraid they would
not know how to get back under
cover, and banks from other countries
had to establish branches where Amer
lean bankers were doing business to
take care of some of the most mpor
change. That is nothing less than
amazing, but it is not necessary any
longer. 1t never was necessary, it
was only thought to be necessary by
some eminently provincial statesmen.
We are done with provincialism in
the craftsmanship of the United States
and have got to have view now
and a horizon as wide as the world it
self. And when l look AROUND upon
alert company like this it seems to me
in my imagination they are almost
strainng at the leash. They are wait
ing to be let loose upon this great
race that is now going to challenge our
abilities. For my part, | shall look for
ward to the result with absolute and
serene confidence, because the spirit of
the United States is an international
spirit, If we conceive it right. This is
not the home of any particular race of
men. This is not the home of any par
ticular set Of political traditions. This
is home the doors of which have been
opened from the first to mankind. to
everybody who loved liberty, to every
body whose ideal was equality of OPP
portunity. to everybody whose heart
was moved by the fundamental in
stincts and sympathies of humanity.
That is America, and now 1t is as if the
atoms of the world, sampled and
united here, we're in their new union
and new common understanding turn
ing about to serve the world with all
the honest processes of business and of
enterprise l am happy that ] should
be witnessing the dawn of the day
when America is indeed to come into
her own"

Young Men Not Radical.

Until I became a college teacher, I
used to think that the young men were
radical, but college boys are the great
est conservatives 1 ever tackled in my
life, largely because they have asso-
ciated too much with their fathers.
And what you have to do with them is
to take them UP upon some visionary
height and show them the map of the
world as il is. Do not let them see
their fathers factory. Do not let them
see their fathers counting house. Let
them see the great valleys teeming
with laborious people. Let them see
the great struggle Of men in realms
they never dreamed of. Let them see
the great emotional power that is in
the world, the great ambitions. the
great hopes, the great fears. Give them
some picture of mankind, and then
their fathers business and every other
mans business will begin to fall into
place They will see that il is an item
and not the whole thing: and they will
sometimes see that the item lis not
properly related to the whole, and what
they will get interested in will be to
relate the Item to the whole, so that
ii will form part of the force and not
part of the impediment.
This country. above every country in
the world, gentlemen. is meant to lift:
il is meant to add to the forces that
improve. 1t is meant to add to every

endeavor. closer grapple of men with
men. so that we will all be pulling to-
gether like one Irresistible team in a
single harness. That is the reason why
it seemed wise to substitute for the
harsh processes of the law, which
merely lays its hand on your shoulder

| you with punishment, some of the
milder and more helpful processes of

As to Tariff Commission.
TT has been a very great grief to
some Of us. year after year. year after
year, to see a fundamental thing like
the fiscal policy of the government
with regard to duties on imports made
foot ball of politics. Why, gentlemen.
party politics ought to have nothing
to do with the question of what Is for
the benefit of the business of the United
States, and that is the reason we ought
to have a tariff commission, and. l may
add. are going to have a tariff commits
sion. But, then. gentlemen, the trouble
will be with US. The provision as 1t
stands makes 1t obligatory upon me not
to choose more than half the commits
sion from any one political party. The
bill does not undertake to say how
many political parties there are. That
just now is a delicate question. But
am forbidden to take more than two of
the same variety, and yet the trouble
about that Is 1 would like to find men
for that commission who were of no
one of the varieties l would like to
find men who would find out the cir
cumstances of American business, par
ticularly as it changes and is going to
change with perplexing rapidity in the
years Immediately ahead of US, with
out any regard whatever to the inter-
est of any party whatever. so that we
should be able to legislate upon the
facts and upon the large economic
aspects of those facts without stop
ping to think which party it was going
to hurt and which party 1T was going
to benefit.
That is the idea. but almost every
body in this country wears label of
some kind, and under the law l sup
pose l have to turn them around and
see how they are labeled, how they
are branded: and that is going to be
very great blow to my spirit and a
very great test of my judgment. l
hope, after the results are achieved.
you will judge me leniently, because
my desire would be not to have BIZ
partisan. but an absolutely non-par-
tisan commission.

CarriAd Il Throuah.

A teacher was one day explaining TO
her class the degrees Of comparison or
adiectives. To make sure she was I'M
derstood she called on each pupil In
turn to give comparatives and super
latives Of adjectives which she named
and got good answers until she asked
one little fellow to name the compare
tive degree Of "sick."
After thinking moment ne SAID
Worse"
The answer puzzled the teacher, be-
cause. although it was not the one she
wanted. the pupil had given compar-
alive. She decided she could best
show him his error by letting him go
on and asked sweetly, well, If worse
is the comparative of sick what would
you give as the superlative?

moments hesitation.-NewY York Times

ing places. The litt1' Of Rie
Guanroba, near Anasco, 49, the scene
of the unique experiment by which the
Indians in 1911 endeavored to discover
whether the Spaniards were immortal.
After holding Spanish nobleman
under water six hours they were as
sured that those intruders were just as
subject to death as themselves.
About seven miles from Mayaguez,
across a rough mountainous country
is the famous sanctuary Of Montserrat,
which is visited every year by many
pilgrims.
Situated conspicuously among its
wild surroundings, its large stone
church is visible for many miles. From

through which flow the Boqueron and

existence.
THE supposed mixture of Mind
and matter. of the spiritual and ma
terial of Soul and body, is an I'M
possible mixture because they are
opposites that never mingle, IN
cause or effect, in Principle or ex'
preston.
The so.called material or physi.
cal creation is false and unreal, be-
cause it is unsustainec by Science,
and is within itself and TO itself,
self destroyed; it is self-evidently
false, i.e., it has within itself the
proof of its own nothipgness, both
in problem and principle, in cause
and effect.
That the spiritual or scientific
creation alone is true.
Wherefore henceforth know we
no man after the flesh. yea, though
we have known Christ after the
flesh, yet now henceforth know we
him no more
Christian Science is the revela-
ton of that which is; it reveals all
that really is. If there were anv
thing true that is not included in
the Science of being, then there

Then being were a farce, and

change; without stability, perma'
nency, law or order; and certainly
such a world could not be the world
that God has made, and in His Wis
dom pronounced it good.
1.-The Science of Truth ike the
garment of Christ is seamless
robe, woven throughout from top TO
bottom; complete in itself; nothing
can be added to it. and nothing tax
en- from it; and nothing can be true
that is not included in it.
1T is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, of being
Nothing that is false can be includ.
ed in it, and nothing that is true
can be excluded from it. 1t is that
which is, and all that is.
1T does for all mankind, because
il is all, and includes all; in it man
kind and the world will find all his
needs supplied, and all his real de.
sires fulfilled.
He who studies the laws of God
as taught in Christian Science will
find entire satisfaction therein; will
find nothing lacking, and will find
himself growing into newness OF
life, a more spiritual communion
with Christ. our Saviour, a more
constant companionship wi h God,
the Father, and a more sacred de-
sire for all that is good and pure
and holy.

MAJOR DAN MORGAN SMITH

When the truth grips some men,
it grips them hard. Sometimes men
are changed in moment: other men
think long and earnestly, weighing
this against that, and finally emer-
ging in the white light oftruth, firm
ly and forever convinced.
Major Dan Morgan Smith, mem
Der of the Chicago Bar and General
Counsel for the National Model Lii
cense League Zone of the strongest
liquor organizations in America was
converted to Prohibition. He did
not change over night, but his emer-
gence came about after long course
of reasoning and observation.
The accession Of this man to the
ranks Of the drys is one of the most
significant events in the whole his
tory of temperance reform. He is
able now to see the fallacies of the
theories which once he advocated,
and he is not slow to point out to his
AUDIENCES those fallacies. His adj
vocacy Of Prohibition is made all the
more effective because of his exper-
fence in trying out regulatory meth

ca, under whose auspices Major
Smith speaks in behalf of Prohibi-
ton, perhaps has never put a strong
er man on the platform.
