RENtOULDING THE RACE.

During speech before the Inter- national Law Society Association at Paris Saturday, President Wilson de- llvered timely philosophical dis course on the impatience of that ani- nal known as man. Without stopping to ponder, the world has taken it for granted that humanity would be made over in a twinkling with the signing of the peace document. The treaty, it has been believed, was all that stood between us and the Millcn- nium. This belief is not borne out by the facts in. history, either the history of a single nation or a group of na- tions
 gradually. It is not gained overnight by the passage of laws. The same l emotions will stir our breast. Hatred l love, fear will not be exterminated. 1 Selfshness, the basis of human pas 1 sions, will still direct our acts. It is | true that the new international code I the progress will not be apparent i'm | mediately. Dwelling on this thought | the President said:
 | May I say that one of the things that has disturbed me in 1 recent months is the unqualified | hope that men have entertained l everywhere Of immediate eman- | CiDatiOn from
 have hampered and oppressed them. You cannot in human ex- perience rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight l into the broadening day #before the noon comes and the full sun is on the landscapes; and we must see to it that those who hope are | not disappointed, by showing them the processes by which that
 hope must be realized-prOCesScs
 of law, processes of slow disen- | tanSlement from the many things
 that have bound us in the past
 You cannot throw off the hab-
 it's of society immediately any
 more than you can throw off the habits of the individual immedi- ately. They must be slowly got
 rid of or rather, they must be slowly altered They must be slowly adapted, they must he slowly shapen to the new ends
 for which we would use them.
 That is the process of law, if law
 is intelligently conceived.
 It will be only through constant 1 striving that we will be able to shake l off those instincts which have beer 1 ages. And unless we do strive fol i improvement, all the conferences al ] Paris will have been wasted. We are 1 witnessing the dawn of new tomor- than yesterday if we will.

1LPTNG AMERICAN BUSINESS.

ELPING AMERICAN BUSINESS.
 M interest to manufacturers is the
 &nion of Attorney General A. Mitch #Palmer brought out by an inquiry Mhe Industrial Board of the De-
 tment of Commerce whether the
 bilizing of prices under it's dlrec-
 @ would be permissible. While the %nion specifies acts of the Indus #l Board, it applies to private ln- 8Ntry in general. In few WordS' # Attorney General declares that @ee fixing cannot be allowed and
 #t the attitude of the government @ not been changed by the war dur # which it was necessary to cen #Iize and unify many of the largest
 cerns in the nation for the purpose #obtaining quantity production and
 essary also to establish prices.
 Many of the laws now on the stat 8 books were enacted during a Miod when the public was whipped #b frenzy against so called re- @aint of trade. Points favorable to #nbinations were thrust into the &kground and the searchlight #own on the greatest evils. Maga Ne writers who posed as experts on Bnomics reaped a rich harvest and @o the ears of the people were con- #ntly dinned the wrongs born of #de com binations. In such an at @ @sphere, Congress had no alterna- Ne than to pass laws that worked #rm to industry but which answered # clamor. With the transition from #at era to the present, the public End is more receptive toward legis- Mion that will prevent the evils ot B past but which will encourage Mher than discourage big business #ter Europe regains it's feet there #ll be the fiercest kind of competi- @n for trade supremacy. Foreign Mvernments in some instances, vii @bsidize certain lines of production order to win back their place il &e sun which war conditions brough the United States. The American #vernment must be alive to this Sit &tion if it is to be of any real as $tances to capital here.
 8Attorney- General Palmer makes il Ear that while the present antitrust SMs continue to exist the Depart #ent of Justice will consider it it's Rty to prosecute offenders against lose laws. With the advent to pow of the Republican party, which has ways been favorable to invested cap hl, there is a prospect of some of e laws being modified. Certain cious practices that existed prior to @ nationwide, assault on trade com nations should never be permitted
 be revived. But moderation is in  der if merica is to compete with e rest of the world which will en- oy every means at it's disposal to ke the lead in the field of com cree.
 A few years ago the American cap- alist was pictured as a person cap pie of growing horns. That idea has ben dissipated by the undiluted pa 'iotism of big business during the lar. When the United States en. pred the conflict the manufacturi rains of the country were offered tC he government without cost. Entire eants were placed at the disposal or he nation. Every ounce of industry Tas behind the government anC rofits were not considered. AnG 'hen funds were needed to pay fol ne prosecution of the war and to en. lFe victory, the manufacturers were ound in the front ranks of the Lib rty Loan parades, right behind thu and

SPIRIT OF "sAMMIES."

An old French peasant woman
went to the commander of some
American troops in a small village
in a remote part of France. ssh" "
she said, eff your men do not keep
the gate closed my chickens will all
get out into the road" Madame, "
replied the officer, Il shall speak
to them and | am sure that they
will close the gate if possible The
old woman went away contentedly,
and well she might, for not one OF
all those men ever left the gate
open again.
Such was the spirit of the Amer
leans who went to France that no
peasant has to look back with hor-
ror upon the American "occupa-
ton" The old French woman was
to them as worthy of the finest re-
spect as though she had been thelI
very own grandmother, and the gate
was closed as tremendously every
time as though they were perform
ing sacred rite.

MUSEUM GETS RARE STATUE
Unusual Example Of Early Ming Art
Presented to the Minneapolis
institute Of Arts.

There has been added to the ORR
entail collection of the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts an unusual ex-
ample of early Ming sculpture in
the form of life-size bronze statue
of one of those immediate disciples
of Buddha distinguished by the
Chinese as 'Iohans," and called by
the Japanese "Arhats" or IRA
kans." This work comes as a gift
from John R. Van Derlip, president
of the board of trustees. 1t dates
probably from the end of the four
teenth or the beginning of the fif-
tenth century. 1t came to Amer
lea via Japan, whittier it was
brought after the close of the Boxer
uprising in 1899. Up to that time
it had stood near the entrance of
the Temple of Tien Ming Su, in the
city of Picking. The figure and To-
tus pedestal are cast in one piece.
The figure is 81 inches in height,
and with the pedestal 81 inches.
The Lohan wears a Buddhist robe
with characteristic ornamentation,
which was deliberately colored, much
of the color still remaining visible.
The head and face are admirably
modelled and the statue presents a
parsonage of great dignity

n armers' Institute a Success.

The largest. and most en-
thusiastic farmers gathering
ever held in Lambertville took
place Wednesday, when both
townspeopie arI count. TX
gathered in Odd Fellows, hall at
three session affair u,ltcr tn,
direction of the State Depart
ment OF Agric, 'ture and a,;<p
ces of the Lambertville Mer-
chants Association.
The program, as carefully
planned weeks ahead, was car
ried through without a hitch,
for the first time in the history
of the local Institutes, beginning
with an interesting talk on Elk
perience in Building up the Farm
Poultry Flock" by j. Percy Van
Zandt, of Blawenburg. John H.
Hankinson of Glen Moore, fol-
lowed with a talk on "The Pas
ture System of Hog Growing"
At noon the Merchants As
sociation furnished a luncheon
to the visitors.
In the afternoon Prof. L. E.
Hazen, of the State College of
Agriculture, gave most inter-
esting and practical talk upon
Farm Tractors" and a number
of tractor owners were present
especially for this feature.
Prof. Alva Agee, secretary of
agriculture of the State, spoke
on Farmers Problems During
Reconstruction Times" and at
it's conclusion was heartily COM
mended by Pennsylvania visitors
who recalled his appearance at
a New Hope institute for two
days in 1899, a matter of twenty
years ago.
John H. Hankinson explained
"The Business Side of Farming"
a new institute feature, and
Frank E. Walser talked on "The
League of Nations"
After a supper, also served by
the Merchants Association, R.
w. DeBaun, of the State College
of Agriculture, gave an illustra-
ted talk on Tomato Growing"
showing many beautiful lantern
slides of actual scenes in this
state.
A. M. Hubert, State leader of
boys and girls club work, cap
tued the audience with his plea
for partnership with the young
folks on the farm. Most country
boys leave the farm because
they are given no responsible
tiles calculated to develop their
interest, the speaker SAID.

Herd Making improvements.

work is progressing steadily
at the former Lear mill, on Lam
bert street, this city, the new
owner, Anderson T. Herd,
evidently intending to make
good on the report that it will be
converted into a strictly modern
mandatory for fiours and
feeds.
The large stone building is in
fine shape, generally, except the
driving mechanism and lower
floor, which are being overhauled
by millwrights. The old boiler
ana engine, for steam work, has
been taken out, and new equip
ment substituted.
Many men from this city have
been working at the Herd farms
in Solebury township, just out
side of New Hope, but most of
them are now laid off temporar-
lily, awaiting supplies. Large
buildings are being erected, and
many other improvements added
The total farms in the vicin-
ity of New Hope already acquir-
ed by Mr.. Herd, according to
official records, are the Blackfan
farm of 178 acres; the Agnes S..
Ely farm of ia acres; Charles
E. Leonard, 80 acres; George H.
Ely, 80 acres; Joseph Herman,
II acres; Albert H. Massey, rs
acres; Mark Miller, 16 acres ;
George O. Pearce, 35 acres ;
Clark Carter lot; Sarah R. Will
klns,, 119 acres; John A. Marion,
80 acres having a total of about
683 acres. 1t is believed that he
has or is about to acquire enough
lands to make up 1000 acres or
more.
General farming, with strong
leanings toward blooded stock,
both in sheep and cattle, appears
to be the present plan on the
Herd farms, and practical men
are being placed on them with
this end in view.

ELEPHANTS sHREWDNEss.

An interesting tale was told, a
good many years ago, of an African
elephant in the Dresden geological
gardens. When offered an apple
which was in bad condition and
stale, this elephant at first accepted
it; but then, suddenly, as if he had
realized the trick that was being
played upon him, he paused, looked
closely at the apple, and then hand
ed 1t back to the person who had Of
fered it, The elephant did not drop
it, but waited until the man took it
right out of his trunk, just as he
had handed it to the animal in the
first place. Surely this proves that
elephants do not lack originality
