A NEWER OUTLOOK.

Like everything else, our faith must
grow and comprehend more. The great
waste of life during the war should
teach us more unforgetfully what a
precious thing life is. Men who have
looked into the face of death on the
battlefield or who have lived after
hours of almost hopeless waiting in
hospitals will treasure their life In
new way. Sympathy will be as liv-
ing thing, not mere local or selfish
interest in people but worldwide ex-
preston of tenderness and generous
care for those who are In need to the
uttermost parts of the earth. How
far off now sounds that guilty question
of Cain We have learned lesson in
cooperation. We are beginning to
for common good, says Indianapolis
Star. Here is O lesson for the church
es. If they fail to see that 1t is by
unified endeavor that they can be real
ly true to their trust, they will have
missed the great lesson of the war.
Another great lesson which we are
being taught is the evil of idleness. In
a world where much work is to be
done there is much for everybody.
Idleness will be looked upon as GRIM
fnal, idleness of money, idleness Of
time, idleness of effort.

WHEN WILL WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE COME?
The Laquard East.

Up to recent time the discussion of
Suffrage for women has been confined
to debate as to whether this right
At present it appears to be only a
matter of time and method. Will 1t
come by Federal Amendment or will
each state decide the matter for itself?
The following list of states have al
ready asked their women to share in
the responsibilities of government
Granted Full STRENGTHENING
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington,
California, South Dakota, Alaska,
Kanses, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada,
Montana, New York, Michigan.
Granted Presidential suffrage-Tlr-
nois, North Dakota, Indiana, Nebras-
ka, Rhode Island.
Granted Municipal suffrage-Illinois,
North Dakota, Nebraska, Vermont
New York is the only eastern state
which has Joined the ranks with full
suffrage, but the people of the Empire
state did not stop at halfway meas
ures. They have given their women
full recognition, not only at the polls,
but in state conventions and public
appointments.
The west is largely committed to the
principle of Equal Suffrage and it is
practically conceded the world over
that political equality for women Is
the only just and logical response to
their splendid service in raising money
and organizing relief during the war
period In the states where it has
been tried no very striking results
have followed. Government did not
become suddenly better by women's
participation in public affairs as the
most ardent advocates of Suffrage
have sometimes claimed that it would.
Neither did the women become mascu-
line and lose the love of home and
children as the noisy anti-suffragists
were sure they would.
Public affairs have gone on about as
usual as any sane unprejudiced per-
son would expect them TO. The votes
Of women won't bring millenial
reign upon earth; neither is universal
Suffrage dangerous experiment.
IT is up to us here In the east to see
that there is no unnecessary delay
about putting our states on the Suf-
frage map through debating about 8

actment.

William was not hero to his own
army, for he stunned the perils of the
battlefield. He has not been distln-
guished as a legislator nor as an edu-
Gator. He has had no conception of
human liberty. His mental qualities
are commonplace. Posterity will re-
gard him as more responsible than any
other human being for the sacrifice of
millions of lives in the great war, as
a ruler who might have been benefi-
cent and wise, but attempted to de-
stroy the liberties of mankind and to
raise on their ruins an odious despot-
ism. To forgive him and to forget his
terrible transgressions would be to
condone them.

CAN AMERICA PRODUCE
HER OWN POTASH7

New light is thrown on this inter
esting question by facts and figures
contained in a recent publication of
the bureau of soils of the United
States department of agriculture.
Bulletin No. $40 gives a careful
analysis of the probable potash sup
ply to be had from the cement indus
try when apparatus for its recovery
has been universally installed.
On the basis of an average produc-
ton of 100000 barrels of cement,
the total potash escaping at present
amounts to about $1,000 tons annually.
1t has been demonstrated commercial
ly that 90 per cent of this potash is
recoverable and experiments show
that 90 per cent of this amount is In
available form or may readily be made
available. On this basis we would
have o production of approximately
$4,000 tons of available potash each
year.
Since only about 80 per cent of the
potash in the raw material Is ordinar.
lily volatilized In the process of making
cement, as handled at present, there
is prospect of still further quantities
to be made available from this
source
The present high prices of potash
are encouraging installation of collect
ing apparatus and when once installed
the cost Of potash recovery is small.

WHAT THE GOVERNORS
SAY ABOUT PROHIBITION
The Testimony Of Experience.

bHC CbttHiOHy w 6NPS''S'~S'
A great many people are seriously
wondering whether it would be good
thing to ratify the Prohibition Amend
ment They are a bit afraid it may
interfere with our prosperity to get
rid of the saloon for good and all.
When in doubt about anything one of
the best ways to clear up our minds
is to find out what kind of experience
other people who have tried it have
had.
Enough states have tried the dry
policy to furnish rational burden
Of evidence on the subject. Some of
the Governors express themselves in
this wise:
Governor Rye, Tennessee-"We have
lost the liquor traffic and we are glad.
Crime reduced; streets free from
drunkards; bank deposits enormously
increased; property more valuable;
life safer; people more prosperous and
happier: public morals on high
plane"
Governor Hays, Arkansas Ninety
per cent fewer arrests for drunken
ness prohibition decided success"
Governor Hatfield, West Virginia.
Business has improved; arrests de-
creased; insane commitments less;
savings banks deposits swelled; pro-
hibition a great success"
Governor Alexander, ldaho-"Never
such beneficial results from any meas
ure in so short time: Boise chief of
police and four policemen dismissed
because no longer needed; police
courts deserted; city and county jails
empty; savings banks deposits increas-
ed accidents decreased"
Governor Hanna, North Dakota
Both from moral and financial stand
point prohibition has been success
in North Dakota"
Governor Kerr, North Carolina
"Twenty-one per cent more children
attending school; bank deposits in
creased 100 per cent; building and
loan association stock increased $50
per cent; benefits great and continu-
ally increasing"
Governor Hunt, Arizons--"Marked
decrease In commitments to prison and
insane hospital; needy families percep-
tibly decreased; no adverse effect upon
legitimate business"
Governor capper, kansas-"Wealth
per capita greater than any other
state; death rate lowest per capita;
bank deposits largest of any State:
fewest tenants, most home-owners of
any state: no open bar-rooms and auto
to every fifth family: two million peo-
pie who never saw a saloon"

The Boston National league club
seems to have had legitimate expenses
during the season just closed amount
ing to s185,0OO. Along with several
other big league clubs, the Braves are
in financial straits. 1t would have paid
baseball magnates to listen to the
voice of their country early in 1917,
says Houston Post. Had the essential
industry ruling been in full force then,
1t is probable no ball would have been
played these two years. AS 1t is, fully
five years of peace will be required for
the game to recover from the slump Of
the war.

THE RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO
What Has He Earned in the Great
War?

There is no more perplexing ques-
ton in this country than the relative
position of the Black and White races.
We are trying for the first time in
history the experiment of having two
races live side by side with equal re-
sponsibility for law and order and the
support of government and equal vot
ing privileges in most sections of the
United States, while they preserve ra-
cial integrity and social isolation. 1t

lem in its present shape and we have

THE WORLD SHORTAGE
of LIVE STOCK

A census of cattle in France
reveals a decrease of II per
cent in beef animals, SO per cent
In sheep and 40 per cent in hogs
since December 81, 1913. Italy
has suffered loss of 81 per
cent of horses. IS per cent for
mules, and s per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease in Germany, Austria,
and Russia has been, but it must
be enormous. According to a re-
liable estimate the decrease of
live stock in all Europe is equal
to one-half' the amount of live
stock In America today. This
estimate places the loss at 1O0,-
100000 head.

HAS TWICE BEEN AMERICAN
Stars and Stripes Have FIoated over
! Lower California in f847 and
Again in fs53-54.

Lower California, owned by Mexico.
was twice in the possession of the
United States. During the Mexican
war of 1S47 the American forces occu-
pied its principal points and declared
it American, but it was returned after
the war. The American fiIibusters took
it again in the raids of 1S53-54 but
it was again turned back. to Mexico
Lower California is long, narrow
peninsula that projects about 500
miles southeasterly from the southern
border of California. Its width varies
from 80 to over 100 miles. Its irregular
coastline is over 100 miles long. It
was discovered in 1888 by Cortez, in
his search for fabulously rich island,
said to be inhabited by Amazons.
About 25,O00 Indians resided there at
that time, and for over a century
prevented white men from establish
ing a military colony on the penin-
sula. During one period it served as
the lurking place of Sir Francis Drake,
and other freebooters, lying in wait
for Spanish galeons on their annual
voyages from Manila to Mexico. Snug
glers and whalers, attracted by the
huge school of whales, visited it ear
ly in the last century.

LISTEN TO AMBITIONS VOICE
Desirable Companion May Fail to Call
Again If She Is Not Accorded
Recognition.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is quality that is born
in one and which cannot be materially
changed, but the greatest ambition may
be materially injured in many differ
ent ways. The habit of procrastina-
ton, of postponing, the habit of pick
ing out of the easier tasks and putting
off the difficult ones, for example, will
very seriously impair the ambition.
Whatever affects the ideals affects the
ambition.
Ambition often begins very early to
knock for recognition. If we do not
heed its voice, if it gets no encourage
ment after appe sling to us fer years,
1t gradually ceases to trouble us, be-
cause, like any other unused quality or
function, it deteriorates or disappears
when unused.
Be careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward. for If
you do it will become less and less IN
sistent until finally it will cease to
prod you, and when ambition is dead
deterioration has set in.-From "Ambi-
ton and Success" by Orison SWEET
| Marden.

The ideal Thanksgiving must have a
setting of snow. 1t must echo to the
ring Of sleigh bells and the neigh Of
the horses in frosty weather. No mat
ter what the weather for weeks be-
fore, there should be snow in good
time. The sun rises on a dazzling pic
ture Of white field and glistening wood
land. A veil Of magic beauty covers
fence and road, the yard so brown and
ugly but yesterday, hides now under
a mantle. Of snowy swansdown. All
night it fell, noiselessly, stealthily,
mysteriously, this first coming snow
of the year, and made of this common
earth bit of fairyland. a transforma-
ton scene.
Like a Thrice-ToId Tale.
The Thanksgiving dinner Of the
country's earlier days has been de-
scribed so frequently that 1t is like a
"thrice-told tale, signifying sound and
nonsense" so vividly that one can al
most taste the dainties. Modern kit
chens could not cook those incompar-
able dishes. Such a feast could not
be served in courses, or brought on
in piecemeal. In those days the table
literally "groaned with its burden" and
glowed with the beauty of the assem-
bled dishes. Merely to recite their
names would tempt the most pitiful
dyspeptic.

"Come on, blue fairies," called the
red fairies.
'You come on, too," said the blue
fairies.

fairies.
"And you come along too, green fair
ies," they all shouted.

"You see," said the red fairies, 1--WE
must all be here today for we're going
to give a dance"
Really" they all said. "When is the
dance to begin?"
''In just moment" the red fairies
said.
"What are we waiting forT' the
others asked.
For the signal to begin," the red
fairies said.
"Who will give it to us?" asked the
other fairies.
''The Sun and the King of the
Clouds" answered the red fairies.
But all of us must be ready, hurry
now, it will soon be the time.
"All the fairies of the different col
ors go together, and each make beau
tiful long, curving stripe by the way
you stand,"' said the red fairies. "And
| those which go to make up part of
| the beautiful color-everyone take
your place in other words, for you
all know just how you must go to make
up the beautiful dance"
"Ah, now we know" said the green
fairies. eve didn't quite understand
/ before just what sort of a dance it
was to be. But with all our good
friends here we wouldn't have missed
it at any rate"
"We're going to have a glorious
rainbow Dance" said the red fairies
Were just waiting for the signal
from Mr.. Sun and the King of the
Clouds as we said before"
"That speech of yours made US think

said the yellow fairies.
Now all of these fairies were dress

ors after which they were named.

ing together and making one lovely
color.
"Hello, King of the Clouds" shout
ed all the rainbow fairies. ''See, we've
come! A beautiful rainbow, made up
of so many, many little fairies, who
are so glad to see you and Mr.. Sun
lya-talking.
"And now we're going to dance. The
earth people will not know that we're
dancing, for we dance very stately and
very quiet dances-not the hop, skip
and jump, or one step, two step, a mil
lion step kind. Our dance is Slow but
it is very lovely, and we always take
our same positions.
"See King of the Clouds, see Mr..
Sun, we're going to arrange ourselves
so that the rainbow fairies on either
side, at each end will tell our secrets
| to the earth, of how we love the earth
| and of how we kiss it with our fairy
kisses and say we hope it's quite,
quite well and happy"
So the rainbow fairies gave a rain
bow dance. Their decorations, their
lights, their costumes everything went
together in just the right way to make
a most perfect rainbow for the earth
people to see. And Mr. Sun chuckled
and said to the King of the Clouds,
well, your Royal Highness, this is a
pretty big treat to have a pleasant
talk with you and at the same time
to see this lovely dance"
