STRIKING A BALANCE

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Glow the mighty have fallen!
Two once mighty monarchs now
pleading at the Bar of Justice. Bill
Hohenzollern and the liquor traffic.
Humanity's two greatest curses at
least at bay.
True the ex-kaiser has not yet
asked for justice but 1t will not be
long until our ears will be sickened
with his yellow whine. Meanwhile
T. NJ. Gilmore, moutpiece of
the beaten liquor forces, is trying
our patience with his silly whine for
justice for the liquor forces. What
both those beaten forces had better
plead for is mercy, not justice. He
wants congress to appoint COM
mission to settle with brewers and
distilleries for the loss that will
be caused by National Prohibition!
All right. Let us settle accounts
with them. Let us appoint a COM
mission to investigate both sides.
Find out, how much the liquor busi-
ness has cost the people in cost,
cost, ETC., and then square accounts
with their loss. If we find that we
owe them, by all means pay them,
and If we find that the balance is
in favor of the people of course
the liquor people will be willing to
pay."-C. A. L.

THE "COAL CLAUSE"

ENCOURAGEMENT that electric
II interests of the State propose
- - to appear before the Public
Service Commission to defend the
legality and propriety of what is
known as the coal clause" in con-
tracts for current will be heard with
interest by manufacturing firms and
municipalities all over the State.
This clause was established so that
current could be charged for in ac-
cordance with the price Of coal.
Similar arrangements have been
made in some contracts dependent
upon the rates paid for labor.
Now that the war is ended there
is no telling what coal is going to
cost and If any one is going to get
the benefit it would not be bad plan
to have boroughs or cities or man
ufacturies get it.
From all accounts the chief diff.
cutly is the matter of notice. II
is possible that this may be ar.
ranged by an extension. of the per.
iod to be~governed. In any event,
it is one of the problems which is
bound to arise out of the war and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BRITISH APPRECIATION
To the Editor of the Telegraph.

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The following extract Som let
ter of an English cousin may he OF
interest in this great day of jubilee:
I'VE are much struck over here by
the way you as q nation have gone
into this war, with full acknowl-
edgement of your absolute depend
ence in God as the only giVer OF
victory. There was little or none OF
that spirit in Britain until lately, or
the war would have been at an end
ere now. l think the United states
splendid, courageous men, strong IN
faith, and humble in spirit, VIII act
as a leading example, and with you,
[ do feel proud to be Rim to them,
indeed. On July Fourth l happened
to be coming in a bus from Cater
ham where many soldiers are camp
ed, with a lovely bouquet of roses IN
my hand. OPPOSITE to me sat huge
United States soldier, looking the
picture of homesickness, and a great
crowd of our own soldiers filled the
rest of the vehicle. 1t was very hot
and a dead, stolid English silence
prevailed. l looked and looked over
at the poor fellow, and decided IN
my own mnd that though l couldn
give roses all round, l should give
him one. So just as l was getting
out, l went up to him, and putting
the best into his hand said: Here $
to the United States! Cheer up, and
don't be downhearted on the
Fourth Then / just wish you could
have seen his face, how it lit up with
intense pleasure, and what a salute
he gave me. Surely it's the little
touch of sympathy that makes the

HYMNS OF HATE"

TT YMNS of hate" are going out
RI of style in Europe.
Their authors are in dis
grace, their sponsors are in exile and
the people who once sang them are
uttering prayers of supplication to
those against whom their evil pas
sions were directed.
Hate engenders a poison that has
no antidote. 1t is like fever in the
blood that feeds on the body of
its victim. For a time hate pays
dividends of sordid satisfaction for
those who entertain it. 1t breeds
falsehood, dishonesty and brutality.
1t pauses not at crime and it will
ruin If 1t can. But the man obsessed
by hate loses his balance. His judg-
ment is warped by his own evil
thoughts and desires. And even
tually he falls into the ditch he has
digged for another.
Temporarily the hater may do
untold harm in the world, but he
is his own worst enemy and the
more victims his hate the worse his
state when fate finally overtakes
him. Hate is the antithesis of love,
and love rules the world.

THE COLLAPSE

They built a castle, menacing the
skies,
Mid clouds that dared not kiss.
And all the panes were devil
fishes eyes
And when its doors were opened by
the unwise
How would the hinges hiss!
And all its stones were frozen oaths
and lies,
Piled on a precipice.
But a youth gave cry
From a far sea-swell
To the towers high,
And the towers fell!
Lust was its arch and hate its cor
nerstone
And all it's sills were red,
And the rank vines by which twas
oVergrown
Were wrlthing serpents of breed
unknown,
Forever darting head,
And ever came muffled monotone,
AS from unsleeping dead.
But 1.-the lad came,
With his hand out-thrust,
And the towers were flame
And the towers were dust!
A something all of steel, gigantic,
grim,
Stood at the gateway barred,
And half the world skunk through
the twilight dim.
And knelt in worship at the feet of
him.
Whining for his regard,
And at his blast there fled the sera-
phim
Across the heavens Jared.
But a youth leaped in
From the western bank,
Crying, "Die, o SIM"
And the towers sank!
Lo! a swift flaming far in Freed
dom's sky!
Ar eagles reveille!
And the light lances, darting from
on high,
Strike downward, like the glances of
an Eye,
Almighty in its ray,
And lol the golden-arrowed, never
die
Battalions of the Day!
And a youth aglow
Gives the glad, new call,
''Black towers, go!"
And the towers fall

~ HE Week of Prayer for Young
Men for the year 1918 falls
= within a spacious, momentous
and fateful time. Truly We are liv-
ing in great days; great in upheaval
and overturning, for literally old
things are passing away and all
things are becoming new; great in
adventure and constructive achieve
ment, great in sacrifice and suffer-
ing, for see the millions of war
filled graves and other millions of
mutilated and manned, and the
countless-stricken and nXi GU s
homes; great in the discovery and
releasing of mems latent capacities
for heroism and unselfish devotion:
great in the challenges summoning
men to enter with wide plans and
God-touched spirits into new and
better days.
Such days call for men, and call
for men at their best. They must
be men of comprehension, that they
may have understanding of their
times. They must be men of the
finest loyalties-loyalty to undying
principles and loyalty to our Lord
and His undying cause-that they
may not miss the way, and that
they may indeed be true leaders.
They must be men of contagious
characters and with 81 passion for
helpfulness. To furnish such inde-
spensable men, and likewise to Sc
cure foundation for such manhood
Christlike boyhood, is the high
mission of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
Times like these not only demand
all that is best in men but also call
us to prayer that the power of the
Living God may be manifested. The
Association Movement, like every
thing else in these days, is being
tried by fire. Our dangers are so
many and so grave, our tasks so
greatly exceed our powers, and our
opportunities so far transcend our
visible resources, that nothing short
of a fresh and wonderful accession
of superhuman wisdom and might
will suffice. Therefore, let us dur
ing the days of November 10th to
10th give ourselves to prayer and

PRAYERS AND PRAYERS

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Having reasonable assurance as to
where this will be assigned, wish to
state that I appreciate the oppor-
turity of contributing to your waster

since an honest conviction is no
longer considered felony, or at least
the penalty no longer exists, L take
liberty of speaking for consider
able bunch of people who possess
the integrity of their conviction and
do not lack the courage to express
1t.
It is the very least of my inten-
tion TO attack the motive OF u. f.
Hawes, in a recent newspaper con-
tribution, as his every word eX-
dresses the sincerity of purpose, but
I cannot help but feel that it implies
an inconsistency almost defylng eX-
planation.

offer prayers to cause the scourge

institution of prayer" has been
locked up to keep germs out. am
not a Christian Scientist, but from
what | have heen told their edihce
is hardly ample to accommodate
their own congregation.
Is the Declaration of lndepen-
dence. the grandest, noblest and pro-
foundest embodiment of moral couf-
age and political wisdom to be chai-
lenped? This grand document di-
vorced the church from the state.
II gave man the right to pray as he
pleased, when he pleased and for
what he pleased.
The signers of this grand docu-
ment did not believe that a forced
prayer, prescribed by man or any
body of men, had any good infiu-
ence upon a free people. They
believed in, advocated and wrote
Religious Liberty INTO that docu-
ment.
There are many good people to-day
who do not believe that wars, fam
ines and pestilenee represent the
acts of Divine Wisdom. They do
not believe that flattery will over
influence the Creator of Man. These
men believe more in fresh air, eXer-
else, the right kind of food and the
proper use of it, together with regu-
lar applications of soap and water,
than in prayers prompted through
the desire of the individual to ac-
com plish his needs through series
of short cuts. These people believe
that in supplying the bounties of
this earth God has done His part
and is not expected to help glut-
ton digest his overload.
They do not believe in prayers
prescribed by any law other than
the laws of nature. They do not
offer their thanks from house tops
and public squares. They have no
use for a prayer paraded in front
of cannons and accompanied by
brass bands. Instead of telling their
Creator what they want, what they
failed to do end what they know
they should have done, they be-
lieve in keeping busy at the things
they ought to be doing. Instead OF
serving with their tongue. they be-
lieve in serving from the heart
put into practical result producing
effect with the hands and feet. They

PROPERLY SUSPICIOUS

w sI1ca suspicious Of the cry Of dis
tress let out by Dr.. Solf, that
Germany must have early relief from
the Allied blockade If her people are
not to starve. The Allies are not 60
ing to see German women and chill
dren die in want, if they can help it,
but our first duty lies in making cer-
tain that Germany is not permitted
TO place herself in position to cause
more trouble if the peace terms
about to be dictated do not please
the new government. Also, we must
think of the people of France, and
Belgium, and England, and Italy,
and Serbia before we do of those
within the German empire whose
long subservience to autocratic 1rle
has brought them and the world out
side of Germany to its present sad
condition.
DR.. Solf and the German people
in general are not above suspicion.
We have every reason to believe that
they have their eyes on the main
chance and will endeavor to lessen
by whatever means possible the
hardships they have brought upon
themselves. They have been so long
schooled in the ways of crime that
they will not suddenly be converted
to lives of extreme rectitude. THE
way of the transgressor is hard"
and Germany cannot hope to escape
the penalties of her own acts. If the
new government is strong enough to
lead the people back to peace and
prosperity, it will be after the peo-
pie have put on sackcloth and hum
bIed themselves.
The German people have debt to
pay to the rest of the world. They
gave their billions in a vain effort
to enslave their neighbors. They
must give more billions tc repair the
damage they caused, insofar as repa-
ration is possible. All the pleas fol
leniency of all Germany will not
deafen the ears of the Allies to The
demands of justice, for outraged Bel
GUM, France and Serbia.

West Accepts the Penny

Anaconda, where copper is handled
by the thousands of tons, but the
last place in the Old West where the
copper penny was excluded from the
pockets and the tills of men has at
last surrendered to the humble coin.
''Never, we imagine" says the
Seattle Post st-Intelligencer. was there
greater sacrifice of inbred IRA
tional prejudice than this: no
severer test of community patriot
ISM"
The West long held an antipathy
to the penny distaste bred of brag
and economic delusion, but bit by
bit the west has had to bow down
before the inevitable. The Post
Intelligencer further says: I'm the
mountain country, in the two-bit
land where men were bred to spend
largely, the penny has found the
way long and hard.
Enterprising merchants with cut
price sales and marked-down at
fractions IN view often imported
pennies into the smaller Montana
towns, only to find them refused
by their customers; even post offices
declined to handle them, though il
legally. If man psaccidentally found
himself in the possession of pennies,
he called his fellows to witness while
he threw them into the air.
But just as the rwo-bit piece sue
cumbed to the dime, and the dime
to the nickel, so the scent piece
gave way in the face of economic
necessity, and the COPPER penny
came into circulation.
Possibly no political economist
could be made to understand that
men in certain sections of the world
would rather pay five or ten times
as much for an article than contain
mate their purses with certain
coin. Yet that has been the history
of the West. Men in the West have
always believed that high prices and
high wages mean prosperity and
that pennies stood for the reverse.
Coupled with this economic fall
lacy was a certain recklessness,
bred of mountain and plain, that
scorned small change. A land
where a man found gold and silver
was not land where man would re-
spect copper; to him, copper was a
base metal indeed.

THE RUSSIAN TRAGEDY

THOSE fortunate enough to have
heard Z. T. Cotton, the inter-
national Y. NJ. c. A. worker
Just out of Russia after long expert
ence there, tell the story of the Rus
sian tragedy will not soon forget
the picture of frightfulness he
painted, Nor will they fail to re-
member that the Bolsheviki have
proved worse rulers than the tyran-
ical czar himself.
To own house and lot, a little
shop, a factory (no matter how
small), to possess a horse, or cow,
or a pig, or even a Liberty Bond,
exposes one to the wrath of the
authorities in the town or country
side where the Bolsheviki are in
control. When the law as laid
down by these extremists will not
fit, fiimsy excuse is made to rob
the possessor of his coveted goods
and they are turned over to some
body favored by the government" ="
A little later, when some more in
fiuential resident lays covetous eyes
on the new owners possessions, they
are likely to be transferred again.
When the new Bolshevik govern
ment came into control, the fac
tories were turned over to the en-
ployes and all superintendent, man
ayers and owners thrown out. OF
course the business soon went to pot
and now not only the owners but
the employees themselves are penni-
less and starving. The peasants
who have been able to guard their
lands by use of the rifles they have
brought home from the war have
nobody to whom they can sell their
grain, so they have raised only
enough for themselves and the peo-
pie of the cities and towns are on
the verge of starvation.
The Bolshevik is an utter fail
ure. The lesson of Russia has been
sore experience for that country,
but it has been wholesome for the
rest of the world. If Germany and
Austria can save themselves from
this red terror they will be fortu-
nate, indeed. Germany has the ad-
vantage of an intelligent popula-
ton, educated even among the poor
est classes far beyond that of Rus
sia, where eighty-fve per cent. of
the people can neither read nor
write, and these. with the strongly
forganized Central Democratic party,
may be able to work out some plan
whereby the government of the
country shall remain under some re-
sponsible constituted authority. For
the welfare of all mankind it is
to be hoped this will be accom-
plished. AS last extremity Ger
many may have to call on the Allies
to save her from the Bolsheviki
forces within, and much as the
world detests Germany, it may have
to go to its assistance, even as it
has to that of Russia.
