is KNO WLEDGE ALONE POWER ?
is 1T A POWER Fer GOOD ONLY?
is IT INDEPENDENT

An often quoted expression at this day
is that Knowledge is power; but so al
so are fanatcism, despotism, and ambi-
ton. knowledge of itself, unless wisely
directed, might merely make bad men
more dangerous, and the society in which
It was regarded as the highest good, lit
tie better than a pandemOnium. Know
ledge must be allied r. goodness and Wis
don, and embodied IN upright character,
else it is naught. Pestalozzi even held
intellectual training by itself to be per-
n~icious; insisting that the roots OF all
knowledge must strike and feeG IN the
soil of the rightly-goverred will. The
acquisition of knowledge may, 1t Is true,
protect a mar against the meaner felon-
les of life; but not in any degree against
it's selfish vices, unless fortified by sound
principles and habits. Hence do we lind

even exaggerate the Importance Of liter
ary culture. We are apr to mag ne that
because we possess many libraries, insti-
tutes, and museums we are making great
progress. But it is not improbable that
such facilities may as often be a hin
drance as a helf to individual se~lf-culture
of the highest kind. The possession of a
library, or the free use OF it, no more
constitutes learning, than the possession
of wealth constitutes generosity. Though
we undoubtedly possess great facilities,
If is nevertheless true, as of old. that
wisdom and understanding can only e.
come the possession of individual men by
travelling the old road of observation,
attention, perseverance and industry.
The possession of the mere materials of
knowledge is something very different
from wisdom and understanding, which

The President of the Labor Union in
forms us that the trouble connected with
the lahorers engaged in loading the s. S.
Parma, to which incident We referred
yesterday, was not occasioned by de-
mands for higher wages, but through
members of the Labor Union Directing
to work with non-members whose SER
vices it was desired to employ.
The Creole sailed for St. Thomas this
morning at 8 o'clock taking among other
PASSENGERS. Messrs. Hvass and SaXild,
typical Danish gentlemen, who have been
spending some time in the island in con
nection with the taking Of photograph
and collecting of Government records
for the Danish Government.
According to recent St. Thomas news
papers, the sister island is Directing hot
ly to The liquor prohibition, and as it
would appear, the Bulletin is running a
series of daily articles on the subject, the
headlines Of which refer to prohibition
as an insult to the people Of St. Thomas.
To emphasize the force of his aversion to
Prohibition, a correspondent to the Bull
letin advocates the prohibition of milk as
a step to eventually prohibiting water.
1t is not believed that the prohibition
measure is any the more welcome in st.
Croix because of the prevailing silence
on the question, but it would seem that
the people have accepted this socalled en-
croachment on their personal liberty with
that calm resignation which has been
displayed before when undesirable legis-
lation has failed to draw the Colonial
Council out to assert the right invested
in it to declare and represent the wishes
of the people; in fact many have had the
kindness and forbearance to say that so
long as no opposition was raised against
the prohibition law at the proper time,
through the proper channels, there would
be none now.

Mr. Driscoe says that design OF
European cars is not based upon
large production and that the manu-
facfurers OF that country Know lit
tie OF the first principles of putting
out cars on The basis that Is followed
in America.
European workmen are not men
trained to that sort OF thing, and in
termingiing OF the work men OF
Europe and America, is difficult and
not advisable Were II possible to
place European designed cars In
quantity production the only feasible
thing To do, in the opinion Of Dris-
coe and Stahl, would he to start A

green hands and with American
foremen. and then train the men OF
Europe to American ways,
Old hands of Europe's factories

placed in it, first wrapping the cheese
in parchment paper or lining the wrap

coated with paraffin are among the
most sanitary and desirable types Of
packages for cottage cheese. They
may be obtained in several sizes.
The regular style butter cartons are
used as containers for cottage cheese
and serve well when the cheese does
not contain surplus moisture or Is
rather dry. Paraff1n paper cups are

Demonstrates Good Advertising.
Because Of the lack of general
knowledge In some sections of the use
of cottage cheese as substitute for
meat and as a substantial part of the
menu, demonstrations and displays of
attractive and appetizing dishes pre-
pared from cottage cheese are desir-
able methods of extending its use. At
grocery stores. food shows, and meet
ings Of women's organizations, dem.
onstrations of the many practical and
attractive ways of preparing 1t may be
given, samples may be served, and
recipes in which cottage cheese Is
used may be distributed. Lectures al.
so may be given on the food value of
this cheese and its use in the diet.
Such demonstrations and lectures may
serve not only to extend knowledge
and appreciation of the value and
uses of cottage cheese, but also of
the many other ways of using milk.
Recipes and material for lectures at
demonstrations may be obtained free
by applying to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, Washington.
