Democracy

From Suicidal Tendencies in Deiii scra-
 cy by Henry van Dyke, in Scribner
 Democracy is word variously em
 pioyed. It signifies government. a
 theory, way of living, and Qike Bes-
 ton) a state of mind. In the Cnited
 States of America it is also used, and
 capitalized to denote one of the two
 political parties which alternately con-
 rol ana criticize the conduct of the
 state. With this last meaning. the
 present essay does not deal.
 Toward the other four .significations Iof democracy I stand thus. As state of mind it is wholesome. As way of
 living 1t is convenient, although not
 always the most comfortable. As q
 theory 1t is admirable with mild reser- yations. AS a mode of government it is
 the most promising yet devised by man. This is not as much as to say that it is always possible or even deErable fcr all nations at all stages of .heir growth. What has been written by Rudyard Kipling of the Bandar-Log or commonwealth of monkeys, is per- tinent also to the Boob Rah or regime lof the ignorant by force eff numbers. By granting a moderate degree of self-knowledge as a preparative for self determination and a reasonable ,consent to those natural and moral laws which cannot be altered by popu- lar Vote, probably democracy off1rs more to man than any other way Of regulating his common affairs
 1t is costly in discussion and debate but by way of recompense it promotes
 general intelligence and the most Christian virtue of patience. It is sub- iect to errors; but it has the merit of bringing home the responsibility to those who make them: for where all decide, all must share the consequ ices. Under q rule in which you yourself partalSe weak complaining is form ! of self reproach, violence is treason, and the only wisdom of the discontent- ed lies in the continued effort to bring the majority to better choice. Thus. democracy rightly considered has in Itself something bracing, salutary and educative.
 Government of the people, by tho people, for the people, as Lincoln en- nobled it in his imperishable phrase. has superior quality in its ideal of perfection.

Ramsay Rotary Dump
 A World Benefactor
By CHARLES H. MANDY

difference between the Ramsay dump ana the old method of unloading cars as there IS between an old-fasnioned blun- derbuss and a modern high-power rifle.
 And to come to the point, the Ramsey dump has revolutioniZed the min Ing industry. In this MT. Ramsay built better than he knew. for not only has .lis invention been a great factor~in the coal mining industry, but the ore mine operators saw it's advantages and the ramsay dump has been installed in all .he leading ore mines of the country, thus aiding in the production of one of the worlds greatest needs both pre-war and pro-war-steel.
 Then again it was been installed at he leading salt mines of the country, another essential need for without salt the world would perish, and according to the report of the manager of the salt mines@at Haltite, N. Y., since the in- stailation of the Ramsay dump the out put has been increased from maximum of 1850 tons daily to 2,50o tons. The inn portance of salt is emphalied in the Biblical saving. "Ye are the salt of the earth
 And now comes the most important part, not only has the Ramsay dump in- creased the output of coal, ore, and salt nlnes, but it's scope is extending to the production of the food supply of the country, for at the phosphate mines at Mount Pleasant, Tenn, the dump is to De installed, or has been installed, and with the wonderful results in the coal steel and salt industries, it is reasonable to suppose that equally as good results will come to the phosphate mines and the farmer will Ice able to fertilize his fields with the product and thus in- crease the food supply of the world.
 Alfred Bernard Nobel, the great Swed- ish chemist, left the bulk of his fortune in trust for the establishment of prizes to the greatest benefactors of mankind which are awarded annually. Surely the man to whose genious can be justly at tributed the increase of production of coal, steel, salt and food should be con sdered when the prizes are awarded.

anguage of the studios, the pickering of lovers quarrels. The history of art, in the modern state at least, like that of women, is one of protest; they pros ger upon complaints, they progress by revolt They have the secret of perpetual youth: they are never satisfied. Forever ndulged. they are forever unhappy. Like true lovers, they are exalted by diversity. In truth, Providence, knowing what is best for them, gives them much of which to complain. Who, for instance, can au- swer for the present lamentable condi- ton of pen drawing? I mean the sur- prising isappearance-hitherto unrecord- ed-of an art which lately enjoyed ex- traordinary popularity in this country of ours, where it was as universally prac- ticed as esteemed? MT. Pennell, in his at time when the art, though in it's homage, yet flourished wondrously, de- voted a chapter in his Hopes and Fears for Pen Drawing" With
 q. something of a mothers mind,
 And no unworthy aim,
 he warned it-against too much success. Good easy man! he thought it irresistible. Little did he imagine, dare say, that a thing so apt, so rare, so versatile, so eminently fitted for it's task so evidently born to conquer, could, after a season of brilliant triumphs, so soon wear out it's welcome and become, to the ensuing generation, little more than memory and name. Where now is your stalwart race of Abheys. Pyles, and ReAharts your Brennans, Blums, Frosts. Smedleys and Kembles. those kind magicians whc once worked magic in our magazines. and delighted and fascinated us all by the exercise of their black art? Gone is heir glory. their art a song of yester- day. With the exception of Gibson, the last of the old school and most ex- cellent master, scarcely a vestige of Il remains. That this gay and maturs science should wane. that it's vogut should fall out of fashion as it has, # truly a wonder; and for my part. I con fess I am perpetually astonished at 1t.

When the poet, wit, or philosopher of other days. wlSte ,she familiar lines Great Oaks from Little Acorns grow he said mouthful It is really surprising how great a part the so-called little things haNe played in the moral, social and religious development of the civilized world.
 And yet, while there is a great deal of truth in the saying that it is "the little things that count as the father of a family of Is feeingly said, there are some ''big things that have played equally as great part in the aforesaid development.
 For instance there is the, Rotary
 dump invented by Erskine Ramsey, the well known local coal operator. which not only marKs an epoch in the mining industry but is conceded to he the one outstanding invention of recent years in mining history. But here is the point, Erskine Ramsays invention did not stop at the coal mine, but has extended to other fields of industry just as important, and from present indica- tions is destined to play most impor- Sant part in the development of the in- dustrial world. It's chief points are ef- ficiency, increased production. And at the present writing increased produc- tion is the crying need of the industrial world.
 The Ramsay Rotary dump is efficient by reason of it's simplicity of opera ion. Before it's invention the cars loaded in the mines were hauled to the "tippie, where each individual car was halted over. a freight car and dumped by hand. In the Ramsay dump the cars enter a steel tube in which the rails are placed. just like the barrel of a gun is ''rifled. :" At a given point each car is dumped and then speeds on its way to the return point to the mines. It is simplicity it. self and is automatic. There is as much

This means a saving of 30,000,000 tons of coal annually, which, at ss5 a ton. means saving of $t50,000,000 in coal cost alone. Add to this the great saw ing in machinery, maintenance, and labor costs, and another s150,000,000 will be saved.
 We must also consider the traffic relief to the railroads. Forty per cent of railway cargo space is devoted to coal shipment. To eliminate the use of 30,000,000 tons eff coal means to free about 3,90o cars daily from coal duty.

THE ARTIST DIES POOR.

Stage purists must have been sur
prised at the recent announcement of
the settlement of the Charles Froh-
man estate. The administrators made
public the fact that Mr.. Frohman left
to his heirs only $17,596.O0. Let
those who condemn Jewish theatrical
producers for catering to the Tired
Business Man element among the
theater-going public and accuse them
of presenting stage indecencies for
the sake of the money that is in it,
without drawing distinctions, turn to
the theatrical career of this victim of
the Lusitania and behold the other
side of the picture. Here was Jew
who was famed for his artistic, in
telligent and clean productions on the
American stage. 1t is evident from
his estate that he made no money out
of it. Despite the fact that the New
York public did not appreciate Mr..
Frohman's efforts for good drama, as
his net estate plainly shows, he per-
sisted, to his last day, in giving the
American theater that which was best,
clean and most artistic. American

COL, HARRY CUTLER

The death in London last week OF
Col. Harry Cutler, at the age Of
forty-fve, brings to a too early end
a life that pulsated with vigor and
teemed with activity Coming to
America from Russia, as lad some
thirty-six years ago, Cutler mani
tested at it's best the mutual bene-
fit America and it's immigrants can
render each other. Service was the
keynote of his being, and helpful
ness was with him a passion. He
was one of those who proved the best
type of American by the measure OF
service he rendered his fellow-Jews,
thus refuting those who think that
the farther one drifts from his orig
inal stock the better citizen he will
make. On the contrary Cutler best
served America by helping his Jew
ish citizens. Whatever the reason
for organizing the Jewish Welfare
Board, which was his GROWING
achievement, there is no doubt that
it rendered it's services of the great
est value to all our soldiers irrespec-
tive of creed.
In business, in politics Tin it's bet
ter sense), in communal work, his
personality was compelling yet mag
netic. He was able to get others to
work because he gave himself UNI
stintingly. In his Jewish activities
as a Zionist, and in his labors for
the Jewish congress he learned the
old, wholesome truth that service to
his brethren brought him closer to
them and revealed to each the finest
qualities of the other. He died, in
service,-while perfecting the ar
rangements for properly marking
the graves of the Jewish heroes
overseas. At his death he was be-
loved and respected by Jew and non
Jew alike, having given evidence of
what America can do for the immi-
grant and how the immigrant can
repay America; for there are many
who considered him "the leading
American Jew of Russian birth. -.
