 There is some Flu" in Roland and the surrounding country.
 MT. H. P. Clay is able to be up, though he is not strong yet.
 The protracted meeting at Roland seemingly has been in vain so far as a real revival is concerned. Brother mons. They seemed to have been lis tened to very earnestly and attentive ly, but with little effect. We hope there were some good seed soWn that will come up and bring forth fruit.
 It seems that as a common rule peo- pie have lost sight of God and are striving one with another to see which will get the better end of the temporal things of life. Instead of trying to help one another to be bet ter men and better women, and try ing to share our happiness, our com forts and our burdens, we are always looking for a chance to get the advan- tage and outwit and out general the other fellow. What could I do if there were none in the world but me? I would have all the world to my own selfish self, but what would I have to live for? What could you do? What could one little settlement do? What could single state, or even a single nation? What are all the nations and peoples with God? Never in the his tory of mankind has a nation develop ed to it's fullest powers and beauties until it accepted God Neither has there man ever developed to the height of manhood and beauty of char acter until he accepted God There is nothing that makes the face shine more brilliant; nothing that makes life sweeter; nothing that makes a human happier; nothing that makes man love man; that makes nations love nations; that makes peoples love peoples, than for God to have full control over that person or nation. Neither life, state or nation is com pIete without God.
 God sent his only son into the world that the world through him might be saved. Therefore we live beneath our privilege and far. beneath our duty is we live withfats God There is no one who loves us sch 6ear- ly as God loves us. There is no way we can serve God better than to serve our fellow men. Earl Brown.

4 There has been no time when the Suggestion
that businessmen be included in the president $
cabinet would have come with greater force
than it does now in a pamphlet issued by Otto
| H. Kahn This financial expert knows OF nc
one governmentally appointed body IN THIS
country whose duty it is to study and ADVISE on
| industrial and economic after-war problems
though both friends and foes among the natlons
have such bodies at work England, France,
Italy and Germany are giving much attention
Ito these problems In the United States the
tariff commission would seem to be in posi-
ton to make a thorough study OF some OF these
louestions. but Mr.. Kahn does not mention 1t IN
/ this connection.
Mr.. Kahn believes that men of the hlShest
standing in business should be close to the presl
tdent, and he sees advantages in making them
ipart of the administration 1t is worthy OF note,
he says, and may be worthy OF adaptation, that

ent countries cit has been found we'll TO IN

Ito the useful function performed by those men
who point out shortcomings, suggest re1neules

The advantage to be gained by having busl-
nessrnen in the cabinet without portfolios is oo'

by prompt adoption of the plan SO heartily ap-
proved by Mr.. Kahn.

IMPAIRED POSTAL SERVICE.

The New York City Merchants association
pronounces no snap judgment when 1t says
that the efficiency of the mail service through
out the country has been seriously impaired.
For five months the association has been in
vestigating the work of the postofice depart
ment. Loss of efficiency results from marked
reduction in postal facilities, which was
brought about by fundamental changes in de-
partmental policy. According to the report,
mails are not despatched with former fire.
auency and they not fully ''worked' in
transit. Train delays are responsible for pres
ent conditions, but complaint is made that there
is an insufficient number of postal cars, that
cars have been withdrawn from many routes,
and that the crews of cars have been reduced.
The conclusion reached by the New York CITY
Merchants association that ''the efficiency of
the postoffice department at the present time is
very materially less than the people have a
right to expect is supported by common ex-
perience No one who reads portions of the
associations report will question the thorough
ness of the investigation upon which that con-
elusion is based. The situation calls for action
to put an end to conditions which are general
throughout the country The postmaster gen
eral has adopted penny-wise and pound-fool-
ish postal policy, and the resulting impairment
OF the mail service is a serious matter.

JOHN cH1NAMAN.

The more we know about the peoples OF the
world with the possible exception OF the
Prussians, the more we find in them to admire.
A prejudice against foreigners has come down
Ito ms when stranger and enemy were almost
synonymous words But this tends to dlsap-
pear on better acquaintance; for we find them
to be much the same queerly compounded clay
men as ourselves, and even discover WITH Nip
linc's rolIcking hero that the things we can
learn from the yellow and brown will help US
heap with the white. :"
The people with whom we had seemed to
have least In common are probably the unio-
ouacious, inscrutable Chinese. Few OF us ever
felt quite sure that we had plumbed the depths
IF his yellow mind. He was only yellow,
slant-eyed facade to us We knew that an ac-
i've nentation was going on behind his piano
exterior but who of was ever certain Lhat MS
placid physiognomy did not mask an amused
contempt for US and all our ways! And yet
though we resented the mystery IN winch ne
wrapped himself and the imperturable serenity
with which he pursued the noiseiess and secre-
tive tenor of his way, we could not concede but
that he was an unobtrusively industrious and
unobiectionable member of the tribe of foreign
ers inbabitine this country. He never did his
pleasuring uproariousiy, hiiariousiy. he never
red painted towns extensively, nor is it of rec
ord that he vociferated ferociously against our
flag. There was little fault to find with this
sojourner, and we are now be-
ginning to find his undemonstrativeness very re-
freshing by contrast with the demonstrations OF
certain citizens from occidental lands. And we
are finding also that John Chinaman Is essen
tally human like ourselves. He buys Liberty
bonds: and not long ago In France a gang OF
Chinese laborers grabbed guns and fought furl-
ously to hold threatened line And they heid
If. too. until reserves arrived. On the whole,
therefore there are many Americans who find
their racial prejudice against John sensibly di-
minishing: and while they do not want the en-
tire family here, they feel like inviting those
who have come over and a reasonable number OF
others who may follow them to take off their
queues and make themselves at home.

MOTHER.

MOTHER.
Yes, / want my picture taken
Oh, l know I'm growing old,
And that years have turned to silver,
Locks that once were shining gold.
Make it cheerful, Mr.. Artist
Do your very best. pray,
For it's for my soldier laddie
Who is far. so far away.
Never mind the lines or wrinkles,
Or the hair so snowy white,
So the lips brave and smiling.
And the eyes are beaming bright
For my soldier boy, that's fighting
For his country DER the sea,
Must not guess that in that picture
Is the real and troubled me.
Make it bright and all triumphant:
Let the lips this message tell,
That my laddie's waiting mother
Whispers to him-"All is well"
I'm a mother, Mr. Artist.
Just a mother, plain and old,
With a son that's in the trenches,
Tired and weary, wet and cold.
Yet he must not read the sorrow
In his waiting mothers face.
Make il happy. Mr.. Artist.
And the sadness-please erase
Make it bright and all triumphant;
Let the lips this message tell,
That his loving, waiting mother
Whispers TO hiIn-'Al is well"
