Through the ages it has been said
"the people have been nothing; they
should be everything This phrase
of Barbusse may well be watchword
OF democracy. The modern world, to
borrow Lincoln's word, cannot en-
dure half slave, half Free" its gov
eminent half "of the people, by the
people, for the people" and half at
the will Of irresponsible oligarchies,
parasitic on the divine right of
kings AS Kant long ago pointed out,
the civil government of every state
must be republican"
1t matters little what are the short
c0mings of republics. We may admit
a degree of truth in every accusation.
But such faults are those of collective
humanity above which no government
ever rose. A democracy must learn
by experience. Blunt and direct in
method, its course cannot be always
frictionless. If government were
perfect it might be superfuous.
War is not function of democracy.
People at large do not call for war,
Those in any nation who clamor for
war for wars sake are the "popu-
lace" who have nothing to lose, and
the war castes," who have some
thing to gain. These war castles are

Placing the Blame.

At the door of plutocracy or cap
Iitalism" the blame for most modern
wv y heen laid. Bla the real cui-
prits are higher up. It Is true that
greed has been grossly present in the
inception of each war, and on both
sides, but it has rarely, If ever, been
the original motive force. The dynas-
tic machinery plutocracy has utilized.
because 1t stood ready at its hand.
1t is true that national ambitions,
with the economic limitations and
distractions by which nations are
hemmed in, become powerful incen-
tives to discord. 1t is equally true
that personal ambition and economic
embarrassment often furnish impel-
ling incentives to burglary. But there
exists no logical reason why national
discomfort should ripen into war or
individual unrest into robbery. The
remedy In either case, if remedy there
be, must be sought within the bounds
Of law and order. Reciprocity Is the
natural cure for national economic
Ills. The resort to arms for economic
reasons has its origin In tradition and
its availability lies in the fact that the
instruments Of dynastic militarism are
everywhere within grasp.
But "big business" has no natural
love for war nor for war makers. It
uses them for prospective gain, but
even then with misgivings. Isaac
Seligman once said: "War destroys
property; bankers do not look with
favor on destruction of wealth."
"Capitalism, as It is called, is not
the taproot of evil. It's alliance with
militarism persists only so long as au-
tocracy keeps militarism alive, as its
chief bulwark.
Passing of Dynastic Regime.
It is fairly clear that the passing of
the dynastic regime will carry, in due
time. miIitarism with 1t, leaving de-
mocracy free to settle accounts with
plutocracy. But money power" is,
in reality, product Of democracy.
It's leaders rise from the mass by their
own exertion. Wealth is accumulated
and latent power. Those who gain it
fairly should be entitled to its use, In
ways not prejudiced to society. De
mocracy encourages thrift, and thrift
onens the avenues to wealth. The
problem is to safeguard holdings while
at the same time to prevent the hold
ers from overreaching and interfer-
ence with the rights Of others. This
problem in the hands of free people
Is not insoluble. The fading of dy-
nastic Illusions will clear the way for
the solution of the further economic

Danish ldleness.

Idleness, rather than the love of
money, Is the root of all evil, and UNI
cheerfulness is n of the shoots from
the root, asserts the Los Angeles
Times. There is no such thing as idle
ness In nature. The worlds that gilt
ter In the arch of the heavens are ever
moving. The moon never stays in one
place. The restless sea nouns in and
out over the harbor bar. The rivers
gurgle and plash as they journey to
the sea. The trees change their EOS
tune twice a year and grow a little
every hour of every day in the year.
The birds never roost at MONDAY, and
man Is the only animal who o~versleeps
himself. "a contented mind is a con-
tinual feast" and the worker, whether
he labors with brain or Drawn, who
l1nds delight In his work, who sings as
he cheerfully lifts the hammer or
laughs as he pens the thought that
comes to him, Is happy and content.

Cedar Forest at Great Heiuht.

In his book, "The Real Algeria" quot
ed in the Christian Science Monitor,
M. D. Scott describes his journey
through a cedar forest. "The program
was to cross the mountains through a
fine forest of cedars by the Col de
Telmet. at an altitude of 5000 feet"
Mr.. Scott says. 81 came across a most
curious piece of hillside. Bare rock
a s steep and smooth as a house roof
ran straight from the hilltop to the
bottom OF the valley with a strike Of
some 60 degrees. 1T shone like burn
ished silver in the bright sun. Never
have I seen anything of the kind so
beautiful. In various crevices were
perched cedar trees, sometimes with
a rest SO tiny that q miracle alone
held them apparently from sliding
down the chute"

LIGHTS OF sHINAGAWA BAY
Physical Phenomena in Japanese Wa
ters Said to Have Been Caused by
Countless Anima!culi.

Strange lights hover over the waters
pf Japan at various places. The burn
ing spring that appears ut intervals
pf several years III one Of the land
locked bays Is a natural phenomenon
that has attracted the attention OF the
scientific world. A new and curious
spectacle made its appearance in Sli-
nagawa bay recently, when a myriad
" pale green lights shone in the placid
waters and attracted thousands Of spec
ntors to the shore, East and West
News states.
The savants Of Japan are giving
much attention to this curious freak
Df nature. One college professor
Hkened the exhibition to the innum-
Eable lights off the coast OF Chii1usen
and Chikugo in Kyushu. The latter
lights, however, are OF a ~yeIlow-red,
orange color, whereas those in Shinag-
AVA bay were pale green.

the light Is caused by countless ami
malculi. He describes these insects
as gymnogyniums, belonging to tile
class Flagellata. Each measures one
twelve-hundredth of an inch aud has
an alimentary canal. These insects
must have been always present in the
waters Of that bay, but an excess of
vegetable matter in the water so fat
tened and stimulated the aninlulculi
that they became unusually luminous.
The learned professor cites the appear
Ance of the same phenomena at Ham
burg in 1880, since which time no
record exists of it's recurrence until
lately. The insects live 1T the bot

Perfumes Defy L.aundries.

The Arabs around Alden love pow
erful perfumes and are highly skilled
in their preparation. Their fayorite
Is called ''oodi.'' 1t IS made from a
wood called "ood" and is so powerful
that when burned IN incense-pots the
smoke will %imprcgnate the garments
of those present to such an extent that
the perfume will remain upon them for
days, even after they have been laun-
dered. They often mix "ood' with civ
ct, ambergris ana musk, and thus per-
fume their clothes. The Germans tried
to sell their perfumes at Alden, but
failed, as the best they could do was
about 43 cents ar ounce for perfume
not nearly so good rs that which the
natives made for 8 cents.

HAVE APPETITE FOR PRAISE

1t is a human frailty to want praise.
We begin young to crave the APPROX
ing notice of others. There is non

of his earliest kill. But the jungle is
large, and the cub e is small; let him
think and be still" Children brought
UP In school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol
itarily, says u writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, seilishness
and conceit. They do not find their
schoolmateS in Il frame of mind to put
them on n pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods Gil wheels;
they are lost to sight in the shuttle of
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp tho foot and
shout angrily.
Children OF q larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw On audience
by harping on the theme of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. TO Knock the 'T'
out of ones conversation is not neceS-
sarily to make 1t interesting. Many
! times a narrative loses greatly In pith
and pungency by the impersonality in
which it is couched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the ems of the
first-hand participation of the narrator
in the incidents he describes. When
the first person is introduced for the
sake OF the editication Of the reader,
there need he no apology; when it Is
introduced for the Qualification of the
speaker, it is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as we'll as
he can, whether he Is praised for it or
not. The taste of publicity is likely to
be what the taste of blood is to tiger

HOW ONE SHOULD USE MONEY
Worth of Pennies, Nickels and Dimes
First Value a Wise Man Can
Place on Wealth.

ANY man, in order to achieve real
success, must have the right ideas
about money. If he hasn't the right
ideas about money, he is not solid in
character, observes d writer in the
American Magazine. A man may easily
be happy, successful and highly re-
garded on $1,S00 dollars or less a year !;
but, if he is, 1t is because he knows
how to handle those $1,SOO, and real
ICES the power that is in each of those
$500, and keeps in sight the fact that
it takes 100 cents or 20 nickels, Or 10
dimes, to make each one Of those ST.
800.
"On the other hand, q man may
have an annual income of $4,000 and
be neither successful nor happy nor
highly regarded. If this Is true of him,
it is because he has not the right ideas
about money.
Here is the thing that applies to my
experience and to every mans: Money
is the symbol of worth and power, If
your money Is handled correctly. If
you regard money as a constructive
thing, something to be used beneficial
ly for yourself, your family and your
community, something with which to
build up and produce Improvements,
you are on solid ground nothing can
shake you, nothing, outside of earth
quakes and fires, can ruin you finan-
cially. Let me put it this way: The
use a man makes of his money after
lie has got his hands on it is the meas
ure of his worth"
Bible War Bread Recipe.
The ninth verse of the fourth chap
ter of Ezekiel reads as follows: "Take
thou also unto thee wheat, and barley,
and beans, and lentiles, and millet'
!. . and put them in one vessel, and
! make thee bread thereof"
In the thirteenth century David
Kimchi, the commentator, wrote: 1.-THE
prophet thus warns the d~isobedient
, children Of Israel that, during the
siege of Jerusalem, they will not long,
er be able to make their bread with
pure wheat, but they will have to mix
1t with all kinds OF grain and vegeta'
bles with which flour is not made, I'M
