Outdoors.

There is pain of the human heart, no fever
of the mind which is not assuaged and healed by a
day hour spent alone in quiet fields and gar
dens, under the open sky.
We at and every heart is troubled and
sad at wars cost, and every mind is weary with
endless questionings. But summer has laid her
gracious hands upon the earth and hung it with
green draperies of trees and grass, filled it with
soft airs, and covered all with tender skies.
To all the stately wisdom of the trees and wide
fields there is added the homely comfort of the all
enfoldng grass and of own gardens.
No mother of a soldier may walk among her
roses, clip the sweet sprays of honeysuckle, or
touch any of the bright children of the sun without
tender thought of her boy and the flower he low
ed best, without fresh resolve keep her house
and heart sweet and sunny as a garden for her
sons sake.
No father of boy in service can work among
his thrifty of vegetables without thanksgiving
that it is in his power make the earth yield food
for his fighting and all his brothers. These
summer twilights many fear and heartache is
hoed under and buried deep in prosperous gar
den, and many quiet thought and glorious vision
is found by tired man digging among his vege-
tables.
Now is the time that we may find the healing
of the out-ofdoors balm for all the years wounds
to mind and spirit.

A Matter Of Gods.

The thing we make god we idolize, be 1t
power, money strength, speed, ability or whatever
our especial human weakness may be.
The "Me und Gott" chestnut has reference
to the Divine Creator of the universe; Him the
Kaiser does not take into account, for he recog-
nizes no idol but power, himself the embodiment of
all wisdom-in short, kultur. To Thor. the god
of war. Wilhelm makes appeal Not as to . god,
but as pal who understands his aspirations to
rule the world. me und Thor"
If he could win there is no doubt his crowning
act of madness would be to proclaim himself
"Gott" and demand idolatry of the PROSTATE ma
tions of the earth
The gods of dollars have their millions upon
millions of idolators. The gods of power, CONTROL
dominance, office, rank and preferment above their
fellows have worshpping legions in all walks of
life.
The temporary possessor of musical voice.
trained to charm, exacts homage-not for the
Heaven-sent gift, but the often unovely person
ality of the physical instrument that the voice
will nhabt for brief span.
Many goddesses there are, beautiful in face and
form, who demand nothing less than idolatry from
a retinue of color-blnd hypnotics who worship at
the shrine of beauty" A brief Illness and acci-
dental touch of FIRE and flame, misstep in the
dark and beauty is dethroned, leaving a deformed
goddess from whom the idolators flee.
There is god men may worship and not bias
pheme the Almighty; the god of character
This attribute is lacking in all the gods human
idolators worship. Character survives, ever
while the gods of desires of crumbling
clay, ptful in their limitations
Character is divine of origin, the purpose of
mans creation the only meaty kernel within the
husk call "the image Of God"

Riding the Reaper!
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE

,, the clatter and cang of the reaper and binder,
As As over the nation to- IT sings its reminder
From border to border bestowing her bounty
The harvests beginning;
The is a-winning
And Germany yet shall be paid for her SHINING.
From the swept Southwest to the waters of
Maine
There are smiles in the miles of the gold-crowned
grain,
And the song of the reaper as nearer it comes,
Meets the beat of the heart like the chuckle of
0, its music is sweet
In its rattle and beat,
And the birds in the branches are fling "T'wheat!

There's another vast harvest, where Death rides
the reaper
And under the knives life is cheaper and cheaper,
But when the grim work of that Reaper is done
And his Binder has fettered the hordes of the Hun,
Then again peace shall sweeten
Our bread as it's eaten
Symbolized by purity whitened and wheaton.

industrial Education" Z"

Industrial education is a great thing-f it makes
the workinSman of and less of ma
chine. Industrial efficiency is to be encouraged
provided that it doesn't rob men OF their person
alities.
There's limit to what should be expected Of
man in the matter of production. man is
greater than machine.
The kind of eternal life to be spent by human
soul is largely dependent upon its ability to grow
and develop while it inhabits the human body. The
workingman is the temple of thing which lives
on even after he has taken off the overalls for the
last time.
1t is important that his soul-life should not be
crushed out through the fierce struggle to keep
body and soul together"
He needs more leisure, and he needs to learn
how to rightly employ his leisure. If industrial
education and industrial efficiency help him here
then let's have more of them.
If he can be relieved of the monotonous toll
which characterizcs so many occupations in indus
trial hfe-if he be given the riches Of greater
variety, bringing into play many faculties which
have been stunted and dwarfed-lets have any
thing that will accomplish these things for him.
For after all, while it is bad enough to starve
the body it is far to starve the soul. There's
many a worker whose sou-hunger makes him long
for the life which he feels God intended for him.
Come on, then, with your remedy for battered
lves-give it to us quickly, for all about us are
men and women eager for life-the funess of life
which is every mans heritage.

Near the Goal.

All that now stands between American woman
hood and copartnership with man in the business
Of managing the nation is the United States Senate
The House of Representatives has placed itself
upon record in favor OF the constitutional amend
ment giving women the right to vote in all States
for all officials at all elections.
There is doubt as to where the majority of
men of the nation stand They have come to un-
dcrstand that in a democracy where liberty and
freedom the watchwords there can be no more
election day disqualification because of sex than
there can be because of color, religion wealth
The amendment will carry if put up to the people.
But the Senate first has to vote favorably.
President Wilson has come to the aid of suf
frage forces with an urgent appeal to the Senate
to permit the people to settle the question. He
asks the Senate to pass the suffrage amendment
before the end of this session.
The Senate is not asked to decide the question
for the voters of America 1t is requested to let
the voters themselves decide the question Any
Senator, regardless of party affliation, who votes
against the submission of this amendment to the
people, who gives assistance in the we'll used
Senatorial program of procrastination, should be
marked for defeat and should be succeeded by a
who will keep step with progress.
1t is high time that Senatorial reactionaries muf-
file their antsufrage arguments and permit their
more progressive colleagues to pay debt of
gretitude to the women Of America.
