Smoking in Church on Sunday.

Somewhat startling is the information that
in England serious consideration is being given
proposal that certain pews be set aside for
the use of smokers who want to go to church
on Sunday, but also wish to mingle with the
drippings from the sanctuary of solace of slowly
burning tobacco. Just how this will strike the
uplifters of America, who have pledged them
selves, tentatively, at least, to uproot the devils
weed, both fguratively and literally, is hard to
imagine. Yet it will carry something of interest
to the contemplative mind, for it involves
way to attract to religion men who might other
wise stray widely. When General Booth began
his Salvation Army work, he was generally con-
demned because of the method he adopted.
Casual observers or hasty critics mistook the
symbol for its meaning, and heard in the Sal
walton Army only the rattle of the tambourne
or the boom of the big bass drum. They did
not note that the noise was but the outward
show and that the inward purpose of the army
was denoted by its title. To the closer OBJ
server however, the relation between the noise
and the work of the army was clear. Back
of the banging the definite program
of soup, soap and salvation" Sinners were
first fed, then washed, and afterwards saved,
if possible. All the world now honors the SAL
walton Army, and understands its ways. May
it not be possible to bring real religion
little closer to man through the mngling of
some tobacco smoke with the incense that arises
in front of the altar? The symbolism of the
one is not very much different from that of the
other.

Victories of Defeat.

I hoped that either the senator's would
change their minds, or that the people would
change the senate, but instead they changed
me" is the way William Howard Taft tells of
the fate of his effort to secure the adoption of
arbitration treaties. To this he adds: "Any man
in political life learns that there are worse things
than defeat" And herein he sums up the whole
some philosophy of useful life. Defeat is not
easy to bear, but it brings with it realization of
weakness in method or principle, shows the
mistakes, and encourages greater effort if the
end sought is worthy of attainment. Not every
one is possessed of the well-tempered optimism
that annlates Mr.. Taft, but it is within the
reach Of any. Self-dscipline is the means by
which the victory to be found in defeat may be
achieved The individual who can put aside the
disappointment of failure, and start on new
effort is the one who eventually succeeds.
Sweet are the uses of adversely" for they bring

The Colors of O. Nation

If there really is new Germany, there
must be new German flag. That was natur-
ally the first thing that should occur to the men
who are at the front in present German affairs.
1t was necessity if they were establishing new
government policy if they were camouhaging
the old. So they changed the flag by substitute
ing for the white stripe stripe of yellow. And
Immediately they were in trouble.
Belgums flag is not really red and yellow
and black but red and gold and black. But yell
low and gold, on flag, are with difficulty dis
tinguished. There is no law preventing new
Germany from adopting Belgums colors, but
if Germany, new or old, had possessed anything
approaching good taste, that thing would not
have been done at this time. However, they
claim that this is the flag of the old Germanic
federation, and there seems to be no ground for
disputing it. 1t has been we'll said that all the
old German flag needed to make it appropriate
was streak of yellow, and surely the elimina-
ton of white was justihed.-Hartford Times.

Food Costs ON Congress

Mr.. Wilson came into office upon platform
that promised reduction in the cost of living.
Yet, even prior to the outbreak of the war the
living cost had been mounting higher and
higher. Inscriptions advantage has been taken
of the distracted state of the country and Of the
world demands upon the American larder, to
run up the cost of living to prohibtive figures.
1t is fact that wage increases kept petty nearly
with the pace of war prices for food. But the
case has been very different with salary earn
ers. The salaried class has not largely benefited
in the prosperity era.
The wage-earners cannot hope to have the
present grade of pay sustained, although there
will be no return to the former level. In some
industries wages will even advance further. The
problem for the present congress will be to
make searching and speedy investigation into
the bases for the high cost of living and to seek
to effect reductions that will provide wider
margin between the outlay for absolute neces-
sites and the wages and salaries that are re-
ceived.
Congress cannot itself cut food costs. But
congress can bring about amelioration of condi-
tons, and congress can effect the publicity that
will result in squeezing some of the excessive
profits out of those articles Of merchandise that
bear directly upon living costs. 1t will be look
ed to for such relief.-Batimore American.

AN END TO THE PARLEYING.

Premier Clemenceau has informed the Ger
man peace delegates that no. more notes will
be received from them relative to terms of the
treaty. An end is thus put to parleying. The
Germans have occupied the time since the
treaty was handed them with fruitless debate
over points they hoped to have modified. AS
surance has been given them that the Allies will
not recede. All that now remains is for the
Germans to sign, or finally to refuse.
Refusal to sign means the restoration of the
blockade of Germany. If cut off from the world,
deprived of communication, shut out from sup
plies, the German people will be brought to
realize the extent of the defeat they now appar-
entity do not recognize. That this will be
needed is unlikely.
Evidence is not lacking that President Ebert
and his associates have been playing to save
their faces. While they have been reiterating
demands and making requests they knew would
not be granted, powerful influence has been
developing among the people in favor of sign
ing the treaty. Germany has had quite enough
Of fighting for one time. Whatever may the
plans for the future, dreams of revenge, of con-
quest, and OF dominion, just at the moment the
individual German knows the folly of further
resistance. If the kaiser deceived his subjects
in 1914, it was because they wanted to be de-
ceived. They were as devoted as their leaders
to the purposes for which they went to war.
Going into it with their eyes open, they have
come out of its dsillusioned Self-pity may
uphold their pride, but they know they have
been beaten.
Junkers may buster and kaiserites snort in
indignation at the terms laid down for Germany,
but the time is right at hand for action. The
business before them is the signing of the
treaty, and that will soon be over with.

Not the Way to Save Mooney

The Central Trades and Labor Union of ST.
Louis adopted sensible course i'll declining to
send delegates to convention of the so-called
Mooney Defense league which is committed to
the plan of general strike throughout the couil-
try to force the California authorities to release
Thomas J. Mooney, whose death sentence for
conviction of murder has been committed to life
imprisonment by Gov Stephens. Some of the
members pointed out that the active hackers of
the league are really more concerned about
Strengthening the l. w. w. than about aiding
Mooney or advancing the general cause of labor
Such a strike would be not only revolutionary
but anarchistic. 1t would be defiance of the
limitations of the constitution of the United
States, which respects the jurisdiction of the
states to try such offenses as Mooney was
charged with committing. Without regarding
the injury that general strike would infct
upon the people not living in California and
upon persons with whom the strikers have SOL
emn contracts. it would BE- a sort of coercion
which California or any other state would be
compelled to resist. or cease pretending to have
an orderly government
The leaders in the league movement prob
ably do not really know whether Mooney is
guilty or not The Globe Democrat, after ex-
aiming representations by both sides, long ago
confessed its inability to pass on MONEYS
guilt and expressed the hope that he might be
tried on some of the other indictments against
him, involving the same general state of facts
Should such a trial result in his acquittal, then
the governor of California would naturally grant
aim full pardon
Whatever pressure may be exerted should
be TO bring about this sort of arrangement But
while there is enough doubt about MONEYS
guilt to justify his trial in one of the other
cases. these is no justification for the demand
hat he be arbitrarily set free, merely because
lie has been labor leader. 1t would seem that
with all the pressure that has been brought and
with the lively interest the citizens of California

An Immortal Name.

Information: The celebration on
May 27 which you ask about was no
doubt, the Julia Ward Howe CEN
tenary, that day having been the
Tooth anniversary Of her birth. The
day was celebrated by women's or
CARNATIONS and especially by suffra-
gists throughout the country.
On her fathers side, Julia Ward
descended from such men as Roger
Williams and Governor Samuel
Ward of Rhode Island. who was a
member of the First and Second
Continental congresses. Her father
was man of wealth and influence
who took an active interest in re-
ligious work and formed the first
temperance organization in America.
The home environment was one of
taste and refinement and Julia Ward
received her education largely from
private toutors. She married Sam
uel Gridley Howe in 1S43.
During the course of her long life
she lived to be 91-Mrs. Howe was
at the very forefront of many move
ments which had to do with Ameri-
can literature, philanthropy and the
emancipation of her sex. From the
early days of her womanhood, she
was a woman of consequence, a
woman of affairs, a woman who had
a very high conception of the duties
of life.
Mrs, Howe was a frequent contrib
utor to the best American maya
zines. She was also a poetess who
found ready response in the hearts
of the people. Her famous Battle
Hymn of the Republic" was writ
