A Swedish envoy is now in Wash
ington appealing to the national
authorities to lit the embargo on
foodstuifs so far as it relates to his
country. He pathetically cries out
that under conditions now in force
his people are in danger of starvation.
1t would not be strange, however, if
Uncle Samuel were to turn a deaf ear
to his e%ntreaties. Sweden has been
neutral only in hypocritical seeming.
Underhand and in secret she has aid
ed Germany against the Allies. She
can give no satisfactory explanation,
as the Republic truly says, why
Count Luxburg, German charge d. az
fares at Buenos Aires, was allowed
to send through the Swedish legation
there cipher messages TO Germany by
way of Stockholm, giving directions
for sinking Argentina ships. No
grosser breach OF neutrality, not even
Zimmermann's efforts to tamper with
Mexico and Japan in plotting against
the United States, has been brought
to light since the war began. The
fact that the German messages were
transmitted in the Swedish diplomatic
cipher practically stamps Sweden ~
an ally with Germany against this
country, Great Britain, France and
the other nations at war with the
kaiser's Government" Under the
circumstances, u little starvation may
be salutary to the offenders.

living, the Christian Science Monitor
prints in evidence the following para.
graph:
Some one has let it become known
that the hat.checking privilege at a
Brooklyn IN. Y.) cafe has been leas-
ed for $4,000 y year. Should not this
fact be brought to Mr.. Hoover's at.
tention as IN example OF useless ex-
travagance connected with dining?
One habitual diner-out has estimated
that every hat he wears costs him at
least $50, In addition to its original
price, because he has to buy it back
SO often from the unhlushing hatboys.

Put Money In Thy Purse

lagos admonition to put money in
thy purse Is generally followed. The
empty purse soon fills up with de-
spair, pessimism and a certain kind
of skepticism. which breeds all sorts
of evil thoughts and deeds. The
Scotch minister who asked the loan
of a guinea before entering the pulpit
was justified on the ground that he
felt more like a man and could preach
better with money In his pocket.
Every man feels better and is better
when he has a balance at the bank.
The love of money and the want OF
money are the roots OF all evil.
Poverty may have some value as a
moral disinfectant, but 1t is not de-
sirable. Poverty ruins more than 1t
insures. 1t steals health and hap
piness. 1t seizes the best impulses
and crushes them. 1t puts the finer
sensibilities upon the treadmill and
dulls them with drudgery and fear.
Making money, however, is not the
chief thing in life. A man should
live for something more than keeping
soul and body together. If man
only gets money out of life, he falls.
What does 1t profit man, IL he gain
the whole world and lose his own
life" The best things are not
measured by money values. Peter
and John met lame beggar to whom
they gave not silver and gold, but
power to stand Fortunate was the
beggar that the Apostles were poor.
Better a full soul and an empty purse
than a full purse and an empty head
and heart. Mozart was poor, but he
gave us the requiem. Burns died
Of a broken heart because of debt, but
his poems are fortunes. The poorest
have been the richest. The greatest
fortunes have been invisible.
Thoughts are more than things Deeds
are more than dollars.
