There may be we~ll-intentioned peo-
pie who say that virtue always leads
to success and vice to misery. But it
is an obvious and monstrous falsehood
in a world where we profit by the good
deeds of our parents and where mil
lions are suffering unutterable tortures
because of the deeds of foreign poten-
tates. That those who suffer must
have been wicked, and that those who
triumph must have been virtuous, Is
one of the most inhuman beliefs in
history, says New Republic. AS to the
doctrine hat the reward Of virtue is
to be found in a clear conscience or
high satisfaction-that is an even more
violent f%alsehood. The people who
suffer most from their conscience are
obviously the sensitive and highminded,
while self-approbation ZONES most cas-
lily to the complacent and fortuns-fa-
vored Jack Horners. The doctrine that
the reward of moral life is a feeling
Of satisfaction or happiness is not only
contrary to moral experience, but is
intellectually sterile.

e-RAssHoPPER AN IDIOT.

Now take the grasshopper for evan
pie. No insect on earth more sorely
needs to ask daily to be excused for
living. The bee has a business. The
wasp has a business end. The ant
has an j1vestment and the grub worm
has a grudge. But the grasshopper
has only an existence-an aimless ex-
istence. When we say aimless we
speak advisedly, for the scientists tell
US that when a grasshopper catapults
his corporate self into space by the
propulsive power Of his hinged hop
ping poles, he has no idea where he
Is going to light. 1t may be In the
lake or the brush fire or the kerosene
a or the pansy bed 1t is all the same
to him. Examine his ~countenance.
He looks the perfect fool. At the top
of the head two bullying eyes as ex-
pressive as the eye of a dead carp;
and below this a nose like a wooden
plowshare. This is all. There is no
forehead, no brain and no for
one. The grasshopper, we find, is an
insect idiot, says Minneapolis Journal.
The best he ever did was to keep out
from under foot of his betters.

An American correspondent gives a
most ~deplorable view of Germany, pros
trate, on the verge of famine and the
people almost apathetic in their mis-
cry. But the authors of all this ruin
brought upon outsiders and their own
alike, the criminal rulers of the leu
ton nations and their officials and ad-
v%isers, have fled the country to live
In comfort, according to their calcu-
lations, while the people they have mis-
used and betrayed are left to suffer.
No wonder the demand Is growing for
their punishment, and that indignant
protests are rising against their con-
tinued enjoyment of immunity.

Chateau-Thierry The words fare
opulent In suggestiveness. 1t was
there that the soldiers from America
dared hell for the cause of humanity
and their flag and turned q German
hope into a despair. 1t was Chateau
Thierry that gave the Germans the
first taste of Americas lighting quail
ties and revealed to our brothers in
arms the invincibility of the boys who
had come across the seas to put shoul-
ders to theirs. Chateau-Thierry lopms
large In the war. 1t will loom speGtac-
ular in history. 1t will be a shrine for
American hearts. says Louisville Cur
i%er-Journal. Soon there must stand
upon that battlefield a monument to
the heroism of American boys who
achieved the impossible and who sealed
the death warrant for the kais er's
army. And Argonne forest and st.
Mihiel-the whole procession of them
leads to Sedan. Chateau-Thierry was
the gateway to the end.

German efficiency" was an abject
failure in Alsace and Lorraine as in
Schleswig-Holstein, and in Poland. and
in Africa. 1t consisted merely in rigid
ity of rule. in a refusal to recognize
the native rights of subject people.
And yet these were the people, these
Germans, who set out to accomplish
world dominion, says Washington Star.
The tears that are now being shed by
the people of Alsace and Lorraine,
tears of joy for their liberation from
German rule, are the surest proof Of
the righteousness of the present vic
tory over the most evil power the
world has ever known.

A WORLD JUBILEE.

Verbal controversy is one of the
most useless things In this world.
People who engage in it could seldom
be convinced by any argument, how
ever logical and however temperately
presented. But the trouble is that,
logical or not, the dispute rarely is
conducted In a moderate way. The
argumentative ones grow excited in
spite of themselves; sometimes they
become angry, sometimes they are
merely hurt" In any case they are
likely to become incoherent or dis
courteous according to their tempara-
ment and to part with GOODNESS, all
because they do not know whenl to
stop.

The sanctity of royalty is now an
exploded idea, and there is no reason
why a man because he is a king, should
be immune from the consequence of
actual criminal acts. The ex-kaiser
should be treated as any other GRIM

certainly should be put under a res
traint which will effectually prevent
him from scheming again to assail the
peace of Europe.
