summation
II cannot help thinking Of how many
miracles this war has already wrought;
miracles Of comprehension as 10 our
intcr:dcpendcncc aG nations and as hui
man beings; miracles as to the removal
Of obstacles which seemed big and now
have grown small. in the way of active
and organized corporation of nations:
in regard 70 the establishment and
maintenance of justice.
And the thoughts of the people hay
ready been created Il force which Is
not only very great. hut very fornlda-
bic q force which ran BE- rapidly mo-
hilizcd, force which is "cry effective
when mobilizcd. namely. the moral
force of the world.
"One advantage in seeing one an
other and talking with ono another is
to find that after all we all think the
same way.
we may try 10 put the results or
the thing into different forms. but
we start with the same principles.
Il have often been thought of as q
man more Interested in principles than
in practice whereas. as matter or
fact. I can say that. in one sense pr!n-
ciplcs have never interested me- Sc
cause principles prove themselves when
stated. They do not need amy debate.
The thing that is difficult and interest
ing is how to put them into practice.
Large discourse is not possible on the
principles. but large discourse is neces-
sary on the matter Of realizing them.
so that after ali. principles. until
translated Into practice. arc very thin
and abstract and. l may add. uninter-
esting things 1t is not interesting TO
have far-away visions. but it is inter-
csting TO have nearby visions OF what
1t is possible to accomplish. And IN
meeting such as you are projecting,
perhaps we can record tho success We
shall have then achieved of putting q
great principle into practice. though
only. let us say. five years ago it was
considered an impractical dream.
II will cooperate with great happi-
ness in the plan that you may form
after my return. and I thank YOU very
warmly for the compliment Of this per-
sonal visit"

of beasts that are not clean by two,
the male and his female That this
last thought was the best is borne
out by the fact that of the beasts the
Jews thought clean4 that is fit for
food. there are several females to one
male, while of those they considered
unclean-the lion. the tiger and other
carnivorous animals, the sexes are al
most equally divided and they mate
in pairs. The Post, however. is not

SHOOT RECKLESS cHAUFFEURs


Senator Fletcher has about the
same feeling in regard to reckless
auto drivers who, in an attempt to
appear spectacular, daring, expert or
just don't care drivers take chances
which too often result in death to one
or more persons and injuries, some
times for life or others, as we have
In speaking on the floor of the SEN
ate the other day Senator Fletcher
said:
81 would vote to acquit a man who
drew his pistol and shot down a reck-
less driver who came pIunging into a
group of people waiting for a street
car"
Senator Ashurst of Arizona burst
out with:
"a citizen will soon have to arm
himself and shoot down some of the
drivers who. with cynical disregard
for human life, run down old men,
women and babies"
The other advocate of shooting the
drivers was Senator Myers of Mon
tana, who declared:
about the only remedy seems to
be for pedestrians TO go armed and
to shoot the chauffers who approach
them in disregard of the law. There
are drivers in Washington who ought
to be shot down like wild animals at
large"
Ali these expressions were made on
the floor of the Senate when Senator
Fletcher alluded to the killing of Mrs.
Augustus Willard of Palatka. Fla,
wife of a former member of the
House. She was standing near the
car tracks waiting for a street car
when Charles E. Jones. a colored
chauffeur, ran her down. Jones was
exonerated, and this action caused
Senator Fletcher to say:
Perhaps the next man who does a
thing like that viii be given a medal
by the coroner

KORAN nrouuht up Is pate.

It is not surprising that most OF the
Arab population should be illiterate
since the language used In writing and
printing Is literary Arabic, the very
same In which the Koran was COM
posed u centuries ago. 1t has been
preserved intact. while the spoken
tongue has gradually changed. as
spoken tongues will. Literary Arabic
today Ia about as much like the an
cient language as Latin I'm like French.
Ninety per cent OF the people do not
understand the language In which
the books are written.
An interesting experiment has been
begun by Rev. Percy Smith, mis-
sionary in North Africa. who is rams
lating the Bible and the hymns OK the
church into the ordinary speech OF
the people, instead OF In literary
Arabic Christian Herald.
