SOCIAL PREFERMENT.

If there is a person in the world
with whom all mankind should sym
pathize, it is the woman whose life
is prayer for social preferment, is
social distinction. People of today who
were the children of yesterday look
at the woman of this type as one of
the wonders that come in with the
tide of present day affairs. The wo-
man whose prayer,-whose very life
is a prayer for social prefermnet, is
worse than a failure at home, in the
betterment of the community, in all
woman's customary methods of max
ing herself useful.
How many OF the women in any
community would admit that unwor-
thy ambitions stan9 between them
and the things they should do for
good? Not many. This is not a
wholesale Indictment, II ought not to
be, but Mrs Highbrow is legion. The
things she tries to Dc are outside the
pale of Christian living.

form. with the United States Steel
Corporation, and fixed the basic price
for steel at $500 per ton, when the
navy had been purchasing steel from
this same corporation for approx
mately half this amount. When criti-
cism was offered in the senate on this
price, it was explained by some sena-
tors that this price was only basic,
and the actual price would be fixed
at a different figure, and was left for
later adjustment, in order that the
filling of the contract might be has
tened. AS a result of the publicity
given the matter then, this contract
was held up, and the steel corporation
finally gave it's consent for the price
to be fixed later by the Shipping
Board. The country hoped that this
would end the differences, but it was
not so. The chairman and the General
went on still at logger heads.
So it seems to us there was nothing
for President Wilson to do but to ex-
cuse both these gentlemen from the
service to which they were called.
Chairman Denman is an expert, and
may be very efficient one, but there
are others just as good, and doubtless,
with broader and more liberal judg-
ment. General Cocktails made a great
genius in the building TO the Panama
Canal. He was practically dictator in
the execution of that great task and
may have gotten the habit. Anyway
efficient as he is, the General is not
indispensable to the work now in
hand. There is no man but the world
will get along just about as well with
out him as with him, and certainly
no great work, and the success of nc
great and righteous cause will be held
dependent upon the work of one OF
two, who, whether from arrogance or
narrowness, cannot get along togeth
er.
The President has ousted then
both The country demanded it! Sue
cess in this particular project, and
maybe, in the war, demanded it. II
matters not who is right, nor who is
wrong, the fact remains that these
men-both of them,-had become al
incubus, hindrance, and ought tt
have been removed from such grea
responsibility.

OUT WITH TREM,-BoTH.

The press Of the country had be-
come very much wrought up and agi-
tated over the very unseemly row
between Chairman Denman, of the
Shipping Board, ard General Goe-
thals, in whose hands has been placed
the construction work of this board.
Editors, generally, did not take sides,
but deplored greatly the seeming per-
sonal rivalry that had arisen between
these two men, to the delay of con-
struction work for the merchant fleet,
and the consequent Gripping of the
efficiency of our plans for the war.
Now the country and press will ap-
prove their removal.
Chairman Denman seems to have
been welded to the original idea OF
constructing a fleet of wooden craft
to convey our commerce to our al
lies in spite of the U-boats. How we'll
his plans were matured. we cannot
know at this time, or whether it was
feasible to make the attempt. We dc
know that this board, presumably OF
experts, had approved the plans fol-
wooden ship construction. The most
definite information the country has
against the plan, is the statement OF
General Cocktails, made in his ap
peal to the steel manufacturers, that
the trees from which these wooden
ships must be constructed were still
growing in the primeval forest. Chair.

that all things are moving to a higher
purpose? Should we say again that
there is a nobler mission for our wo-
men, the mothers who shape the
thoughts, the very lives Of those VINO
must rise up and take hold where
they leave off? Is the creed Of these
little cancerous restricted social or
carnations TO be the social creed Of
the men and women of the future?
Who is your neighbor? Why is a
neighbor neighbor? Who is your
neighbor's neighbor?
Some day the woman Of social pre-
ferment will have passed down to
warped and bent old age, and will
suddenly wake up and find her very
life, the days of her usefulness, have
been given to the frivolous shallow
ness of these restricted little social
centers. Then remorbs will seize her.
Then she will want to know why her
ncighbor isn't her neighbor.
Gods world is rounding out His
great purposes. He touches the lives
Of women and causes them to serve
for good as He does men. The prayers
of our women for social preferment
can never put them in harmony with
these purposes. Oh, think of the diff
ference! Would you have part in
making the world around you better?
Settle that and the walls around your
little restricted social organization
