When Did Friends
Start East Main
Street Meeting?

The East Main Street Congregation
of Friends was organized in June,
1878, when ia members of the White
water congregation, and 108 from the
congregation on South Eighth street
united to establish what was known
as the Twelfth Street Meeting and to
occupy the new quarterly meeting
house.
The new congregation grew rapidly
in numbers and influence. 1t gained
70 per cent. during the next 20 years
and 10 more at the thirtieth anniversa-
ry. BY this time it had become one
of the largest and most influential
Friends meetings in America.
In 1909, one hundred members with
drew to join in establishing the new
congregation at Allen Jay Memorial,
west of the river. But in 1918 the
main body was twice that of the orig
inal charter, despite the loss.
Twenty-Five ministers have served
the East Main street meeting during
the four decades Of its life. Before
1905, they were members of the facul-
ty or business men. In that year the
first pastor was called, and since then
Alfred T. Ware, Allen Jay, Truman
C. Kenworthy, Milo Hinlzle, and John
r. Webb have served.

Conditions at Rrest

United States Senator Robert L. Owen of Ok
lahoma who has just returned from France,
where he studied the reconstruction problem of
the American army, says, "Brest is not fit for
cattle to live in"
The chief source of complaint about this de-
barkation point is that it is inadequately equip
ped to handle the large number Of men that make
it the jumping off place for America. There are
no quarters for the men, the camp is not we'll
laid out for military purposes and the sanitary
conditions are far from ideal.
Army authorities should remedy this con-
dition at once. Soldiers do not complain about
the hardships encountered on the field They are
entitled, however to every consideration upon
their return home and should be surrounded with
good environments at the debarkation points and
should not be exposed to unnecessary hardships
and the danger of disease. The people of the
United States will not tolerate long conditions
such as are said to exist in Brest. They demand
IN immediate change.

The MORRISON Reeves Library of this city is
no exception to this definition of library. a
great collection of books is than an array of
volumes placed on the shelves for display. 1t is
a storehouse from which we may draw informa-
ton, enlightenment, amusement, recreation, and
influences that make for our intellectual develop
ment.
One librarian has said that public library
is temple reared to the past, but this observa-
ton is too restricted to be acceptable, as every
modern library contains works of. contemporary
authors, scientists, publicists and magazines that
are devoted to current events.
It would be an interesting diversion to stand
at the side Of clerk to note the demands that
patrons make for books. Perhaps the first visit
or would ask for volume containing the phil
osophy of Confucius or copy of the Koran. And
then the very next patron might ask for Huckle-
berry Finn and other works by that inimitable
humorist, Mark Twain. julius Caesars Com
mentaries or the Satires of Juvenal might be
asked for by some young student of the classical
languages.
And then might come minister seeking solu-
ton of some of the great social problems by read
ing the writings of men who know "how the
other side lives.
What have you on equal SUFFRAGE may be
the query of one interested in this vital topic,
and someone else may want all the available
books and brochures on government control of
the railroads.
A young mechanic or accountant may be in
terested in books that deal specifically with his
vocation. And some young girl may be eager to
obtain volume of poetry, while young boy is
waiting to ask for a popular juvenile writer.
And so all the day long various types pass in
front of the library clerk unconsciously revealing
through the books they ask for, traits of char
acter and habits of mind and life. If modern
library is collection of the worlds best litera-
ture, it also is confessional booth in which men
and women unbeknown to themselves, register
their likes and diskes their preferences and pre-
Judices. Instead of calling library a temple
reared to the past, it might well be called temple
where humanity confesses the qualities of the
soul.

Today President Wilson is un-
doubted master OF the situation, and
America, in consequence, holds po-
sition in the worlds esteem that no
nation ever held before; position
which we should prize and cherish
above any material advantage, and
which we should strive to hold.

perhaps be well to adopt the plan
of Mark Sullivan and William Allen
White, and explain that l have never

Office
Why did the Presidents critics have
occasion to revise their judgments so
soon? Why was it that within a week
after the arrival of the presidential
party in France, the air was cleared
of all fear Of any plots to elbow the
United States out of any real partici-
patton in the peace conference? And
how came it that the stock of our
country, as a nation, went up another
fifty points?

It seems to me that the best way,
to account for the presidents power

tails are remarkable. He does not

BRAZILIAN BALM
For Spanish Influenza

AS the Balm is the only thing ever
discovered that kills every germ-and
cures pneumonia-never having lost a
case yet in 40 years, many people have
learned this fact and send to us by
scores for $1.00 bottles-hence the
Druggists should keep this size on
hand. They can always get it Of Mr..
Danforth, Of Wilmington, or any Phila-
delphia or Baltimore wholesale house.
Every retail druggist ought to have
q dozen bottles at least. Some retail
ers are buying three dozen, and order
ing them by parcels post. People
should saturate themselves with the
Balm to kill this tough germ. 1t saves
every case. B. F. Jackson & Co., Pro.

Seattle's Mayor

Ole Hanson, mayor of Seattle, did not sell his
soul to Bolshevism when the radical element of
his city tried to convert it into reproduction of
Russian city, with looted houses and murdered
inhabitants. 81
The alternatives confronting Hanson were
First, to cotton to the radicals in order that he
might gain their political support at the next
election; secondly, to remain true to his American
instincts and the oath of his office. Hanson
chose the latter He decided that this is a nation
Of law abiding people, of which Seattle is in
tegral part, and that it is no place for men with
anarchistic propensities and desire to apply the
torch and the dynamite as proof of their belief
in Bolshevsm.
Convinced that he was right, Hanson put his
convictions to the test wondering if the majority
of Seattle's residents would stand by him. Sc
attic, by espousing the cause of the mayor,
proved that it believes in the American principle
of law and order. Citizens co-operated with him
in stamping out the insiduous attempt of Boil
shevism to gain foothod in the Western metro
polls.
Better conditions in all spheres of life can
not be brought about by dynamite, murder and
arson. They can only be made reality by the
application Of the sound principles for which our
forefathers fought in the Revolutionary war,
which they embodied in the Declaration of indie
pendence and which they reiterated in the Con-
stitution of the United States.
If Bolshevsm succeeds in subverting the
very foundations of our liberties, then all is lost.
Then the sacrifice of the men at Valley Forge
was made in van then Lexington and Bunker
Hill were fought in vain, then the Constitution
of the United States is scrap of paper,
and all of us are destined to see this fair republic
disrupted and turned over to bands of anarchists
and nihilists.

Presidents Success Has Enormously
Increased American Prestige Abroad

j to deserve 1t, we must continue In un-
sclfishness, In practical idealism, in
willingness to renounce policy Of is
olation and continue as the defender
of the weak against such sundry bull
lies as may emerge from time to time.
We Must See Clearly.
So much for our position in the
eyes of Europe; to make the story
complete we need O word as to the
view we should take of England and
France. Development in the peace
conference, which cannot be explained
infinitely in cabled reports. may be
misunderstood in America X our peo-
Pile do not take sane view of the
situation.
We should remember that France is
still quivering from the clutches OF
the Hun; that she has suffered horrors
undreamed of in America, and THAT the
German nation, twice as populace as
Frnce, virtually untouched by the
foot Of an invader, and still truculent,
lies at Frances back door.
France may take an extreme view
of the dangers of further German az
gression; she may advocate extreme
measures to break the German mar
tial spirit. 1t may be necessary to
persuade France to modify some of
her demands. OF one thing Americans
may be sure: President Wilson will
not wish to leave France in any posi-
ton but one of security. In the mean
time, those at home should remember
what France has suffered, and be pa
tient in judgment If some OF her hery
spokesman go bit far.
An Encouraging Situation.
One encouraging thing about the
sessions of the peace conference has
ben the practical unanimity OF spirit
of the English and American dele
gates They have stood together on
almost all points. President Wilson,
Premier Lloyd George, Secretary
Balfour and others of the British rep
resentatives, seem to be moved by
the same considerations of common
sense and far-sightedness. The hope
of brotherly goodwill between our
country and Britain in the future rests
upon our common fund of everyday
horse sense, as well as upon ties OF
blood and our identical language.
To the American abroad. whether
soldier or civilian, America never has
looked so worth while, SO inspiring, SO
desirable, as now. Every man in the
army longs for the land of plenty; ev-
cry man is an ardent patriot. After
the leaden skies and the mud of
France, the bright sunshine, the clear
skies, the crisp air, and the clean
streets of our home cities will seem
like heaven to the returning warriors.
1t is a very great privilege to be an
American citizen, and one of the best
ways to exercise that privilege is to
be true and sincere friend to the
friendly people of other lands.
(The next article will tell OF the
famous "Battie Of Paris" In which the
American visitor does his best to hold
his own against the disciples Of the
gay and expensive iife.)

ties is the determination that the
whole world must be benefited by the
coming peace; that small nations as
well as large shall have what Is right
fully their, but no more.
To France, shaken, broken and
bleeding from four years of exhaust
ing struggle, to England, tried to the
utmost by the war, and to the aspir-
ing small nations of Europe. America
seems the vigorous young giant of the
world. Unexhausted by the war, rich
er than all the other considerable
powers combined, teeming with raw
materials, liberal with credit-such
is the America pictured before their
eyes.
Our Liberal Gifts.
America to them is the country
whose people freely gave $750,000,000
for war relief work through the Red
Cross, the Y. M. C.. A., the Salvation
Army, and Belgian relief commissions,
to say nothing of host of other agen-
cies. Perhaps our givings totaled a
billion dollars. No other country ever
contributed so much through the free
will offerings of private individuals.
The American army in France has
advertised our country well. Our men
average head and shoulders taller than
those about them in French towns;
they are well dressed, well fed, COM
Portable looking, and as rule quiet
and splendidly behaved. No soldiers
ever fought more bravely; none ever
scorned death more courageously.
The bill recently introduced in Con-
gress to appropriate $10O,000,000 to
buy food for the starving in Europe
seemed typical of America to the
people overe here. While others were
figuring out indemnities. we were plan
ming to give more from our store.
America holds position in the
worlds esteem-I might almost say
the worlds affections-that we ought
to regard as priceless. We can retain
this position only II we deserve it, and
