The untimely death of Jack Lon
don has given sincere grief to hun
dreds of thousands throughout the
United States who never knew him
personally but did know him through
his books. 1t is curious that the
last novel that he wrote should be
in the same field as the first one that
really brought him fame. The
Call of the Wild" a dog story. was
really the first of London's books to
place him where he belongs-in the
thin ranks of American writers
whose works will live beyond this
century.
In the January Cosmopolitan Mag
azine now on the news stands, is the
first installment of Jack London's
last and greatest dog story. 1t is
called "Jerey." Jerry" is brave
and loyal hero dog who is story
brother of Buck" of The CALL"
of White Fang" Of "Batard" and
Brown Wolf" and of Spot" and
"Possum." the immortal sextet.
He is portrayed body and soul, as
only Jack London, of all the worlds

The World labors in Vain.

The fiimsiest and flahbiest of all the

press, is by one of the most forceful
writer's, a leader writer for the New
York v Grid. The World bemoan5 the
emission from the telegram of ac-

matte dealings with Europe and
Mexico together with statement OF
what Mr.. Hughes would have done in
every instance where Mr.. Wilson has

The World very conveniently neg
lects to print the paragraph to which

it forgets an incident of Organism.
Here is what Judge Hughes telegram

Arizona Is Hot.

1t begins to look as though the ma
tional guard of Arizona may have Il
good cause for a libel suit against the
Democratic administration The re-
cent intimation of an intention to
courtmartial a lot of members of the
guard for not responding to the call to
service has brought out a letter from
Governor George w. p. Hunt showing
that with peace strength of so officers
and 6S5 men, the commanding officer
found 46 officers and 613 men present
for duty on his arrival at the camp,
and more are reporting every day. Says
Governor Hunt:
The guardsmen and many of the
recruits are leaving families without
adequate means of support, and are
giving up positions yielding from $500
to $500 per day in wages. Almost
without exception they appear eager to
serve their country if actually needed
for defense. but some of them natural
ly do not look with favor upon being
incorporated in the regular army in
time of peace"
Perhaps now the administration will
change it's mind on the matter of
courtmartial proceedings.

ance was sss1, 100000. During 1914,
seven months under the free operation
Of the Democratic tariff law. and Ave
months Of war, it sank to $324.000,0
During those five war months we
chalked up s2s3,o0o.oo0 in our favor.
At the rate imports were increasing
and exports decreasing. before the out
break of the war, the year 1914 would
have found us many millions Of dollars
on the wrong side of the ledger had it
been a year Of peace. The imports
were paying but little revenue to the
government, but they were putting the
American laborer on the street, and
holding the head of the American
farmer in chancery. Meanwhile the
cost Of living was on a heaven bent
record for elevation. Like their Balti-
more PLATFORM, the Democratic tariff
policy was total wreck.
And then came war! Edward Bel
lamy once said: THE best way to in
sure prosperity is to burn your sur
plus" Under ordinary circumstances
that would be drastic economy. But
that is exactly what Europe has been
doing for us-and not only our sur
plus but nearly all our men and mills
could produce, working at full time and
full capacity. Our favorable trade
balance since the declaration OF war
August 1, 1914, to March 1916. totals
$3.50 900, 00O~ or at the rate Of $780,
500 900 a month, and two thirds Of our
exports have been going to Europe.
OF $2,27s, 100000 worth Of exports for
the seven months ended February,
1916, s1,1S0,00O,OoO were made up Of 81
classes of articles necessary to con-
duct modern warfare, or 50 per cent.
And yet our secretary Of commerce
says that war munitions comprise but
five per cent of our total exports. In
the meantime we have been the great
supply depot of neutral countries that
formerly bought largely in Europe.
During the past two years the
American laboring man has been given
the best illustration ever presented to
the toiler in the factory of what IL
means to his paycheck to have his mill
run at full time, full capacity. But
should the wage of today blind him to
the prospect of the morrow? The war
cannot continue much longer. Its
termination will find the Allies band
co together by trade agreements and
preferential tariffs. Germany and
Austria will pull together at the same
pillow that they may reap the harvest
of world trade. The United States with
stand in splendid isolat ton, the envy ~
all nations, purse bu!gins with war
profits and the advantage taken in
neutral countries. Then will come the
assault on our position. Are we to
meet it with free trade, or protective
tariff? Mr. Workman, think it over.

Aside from the avarice Of the South

scheme for Mississippi river improve

government moneys.
According to the engineers Of the
war department the. only feasible Mis-
sissippi river improvement project is
revetment Improvement, which would
cost upward Of s15s.oOo0 900. This great
sum is out of the question, so 'pork"

Mr.. Workman, Look Ahead!

Lord Rosebery. speaking Of the after
effects Of the war, says: 1T will mean
general impoverishment of all Europe,
both Of the individual and Of the state
and that impoverishment must i'm
mediately produce new social condi-
tons"
1t will also result in European labor
working for lower wages than ever be-
fore: in European manufacturers max
ing every sacrifice to extend their for
eign trade; and, in all probability, a
considerable curtailment of our normal
sales to Europe, except such things as
building material and other articles
needed to repair the waste of war.
1t is an i'll war which blows no ma
ton good. Two years ago today we
were fioundering in the stagnant pool
of Democratic depression. Mills were
closed. cars were rotting on their sid
ings, farm produce found no ready
market, 100000 laborers were out of
work. Democratic free lunch-the
soup cart and the bread line-were to
be found in every large city, and the
Hotel de Gink had a numerous patron
age. Our foreign competitors were
getting an ever increasing control Of
our home market: our favorable bal
ance of trade became balance against
US: the surplus in the United States
Treasury became large and growing
deficit.
Two months after the declaration of
war found US again with a favorable
trade balance. In September, 1914, it
was $16,OOo,ooo in our favor; in Au-
gust, 1914, it was s1s.Ooo.OoO against
US. During the calendar year 1913,
nine months under the Republican pro-
tective tariff, our favorable trade bal

Getting Together.
(BostOn Herald.)


One of the most cheering signs
of the times is the increasing dis
position among religious bodies to
waive minor differences, and to get
together for more effective work for
the good of the community. There
is need of this change. The last Off
cial Bulletin of Church Statistics for
the United States shows more than
$50 Protestant denominations, rang
ing in membership all the way from
8 100000 in the Methodist Episcopal
churches to the sect which bears the
strange name of Old Two Seed in
the Spirit Professionalism, and has IS
ministers, 50 churches and ISL mem
bers.
Some of these denominations were

Methodists, whose separation began
more than seventy years ago, over
questions arising out of slavery.
Similar issues separated the Presby-
terians, North and South, and the
Raptists. North and South. But why
should they continue separate? If
the passions aroused by the civil
war have SO far cooled that it is pos
sible for the Blue and the Gray to
meet on Memorial day, surely
churches, North and South, which
hold common beliefs and have com
mon aims need not keep apart. At
the recent meeting of the Methodist
General Conference, steps were
taken looking to the complete uni
fication Of the Methodist Episcopal
church South; and, although the pro-
cess is slow, and now awaits the final
action of the Southern church t..
1918 and the Northern church in
1920, it is reasonably certain to be
consummated in the latter year.
Similar movements are hopefully
under way among the Presbyterians
and Baptists. According to DR.. Car
roll, who is an expert in ecclesiasti-
cal statistics, it would be possible
without single change in doctrine
or policy, for the eighteen Methodist
bodies in this country to be reduced
to three or four, the Presbyterian to
two or three, and the twelve Men
MONTE to two.
In Canada, the Methodists, Congre-
gationalists and Presbyterians have
formed a practical working union.
Such organizations as the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton; the Evangelical Alliance; the
Laymen's Missionary Movement; the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment, and the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ tend in the
same direction. So also does tho
concert of action among different
denominations in the mission fields.
leading to distribution of terri
tory and the avoidance of overlap
ping and duplication of work
This is one good result which may
reasonably be looked for from the
Billy Sunday campaign in Boston and
the neighboring communities. Be
sides the first and spectacular re-
suits measured by the converts who
hit the trail" we shall see a com
ing together of churches of different
denomination in concerted effort
to help and guide the new members
and to deepen the religious life of the
community.

One of the most interesting things
about the longevity tables just pub
lished by the Census Bureau is the
clearness with which they show that
women live longer than men. Very
likely there are Woodworking women
who may be inclined to question the
fact, and to say, as the man did about
married people, They don't; it only
seems longer" But the figures are
there to speak for themselves.
At birth a girl baby's expectation Of
life is 53.2 years; boys, 49.9. At ten
she can still expect to live 526 years,
whereas the boy of ten can look for
ward to only 50.2 years. A little of the
difference may be owing to such boy
ish habits as trying to see whether the
ice is thick enough to bear: but that
accounts for only a small part of the
discrepancy.
Physicians have long known that
women bear pain much better than
men, and by better" they mean not
merely with greater courage but with
less injurious after effects. The
scholars who prepared the longevity

however, that they attribute woman's
longer life, but to the fact hat grea-
majority of the men slowly poison
themselves to death by overeating and
by using alcohol and tobacco.
AS a rule women are much lighter
eaters than men, as any man may dis
cover by going to a restaurant that
caters chiefly to women, and trying to
get square" meal. But it is evident
from the figures that it is the woman
who is the wiser. Doubtless she eats
all she needs. Overeating with men is
a relative matter. What was reason
able when they were young and had
plenty Of exercise is too much when
age has cut the exercise in half With
women that condition does not hold
good, for there is no great difference
between the amount of exercise they
get in youth and the amount they get
ir middle life. In fact. many a wo-
man does more hard work after she is
twenty-five than before that time.
With her the amount of food to which
she has become accustomed is still q

. An Exploit in Pork.

The Baltimore platform Of the Dem
ocratic party declared I'VE denounce
profligate waste of money wrung from
the people by oppressive taxation
through the lavish appropriations Of
recent Republican congresses" The
intimation in this platform is that the
Democratic party proposes to put into
operation an economic program. That
they have failed utterly in this needs
no proof.
One Of the latest exploits in pork"
the charges for which the voters of the
country must pay, is the 5o,O00,o0o ap-
preparation recently voted in the House
for flood relief in the Lower Missis-
sippi basin.
The flood relief committee was Gre
ated for the express purpose of adding
this enormous amount for the reclama-
ton Of lands in the vicinity Of the Mis-
sissippi river, an amount which could
not have been obtained if this item had
