THE AVERAGE MAN.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The average man is not bad fell
low when you come to know him.
You have to make his acquaintance If
you are not to hold yourself aloof
from this human. interdependent
world. He constitutes majority. IT
up and issues determined and bust
ness governed and charities support
ed and plays patronized. There is
great deal of money in pleasing the
average man. Moreover. the level or
his tastes is rising. though pessimIsts
refuse to see it or to say so. He is
'capable of education and he has trav-
(eled far since his training began.
He needn't always be given all that
he asks for; sometimes he makes mis-
isn't good for him. Sometimes he
loses his head. and in an ince ndiary or
,inebriate temper does that which a
icooler judgment in calmer hour
leads him to be sorry for. But on the
whole he is strangely reasonable and
ratient and self-controlled. 1t is
touching to find how often he is do
ing the best he can. according to the
light he has. He serves the world far
better than some eccentric and I'M
conventional mortals who sneer at
him for following 4 dull. Unconditional
routine.
Leaders of men have learned to deal
with the average man. to talk his Ian
guage and to understand his ways.
They have taught the rank and file to
discover a latent capacity and to re-
veal strength hidden and unsus-
pected. They have had faith in the
general good sense and honest inten-
tons of mankind" They have gen
timely loved their fellows, and their
sympathy has been real and manifest.
Neither in war nor in peace is vic
tory to be won unless the captains
put their confidence in host.

GOLD AND GOODS.
Millions of Gold That Is No Longer
Worth Mining.
From the New York SIN

From the New York Sun
With gold the guarantee of our cur
rency, with gold. therefore. the liquid
measure of our volume of business
with billions of dollars of business re-
curing more quart measures. so to
speak. to measure it than mere mil
mons require. this country and all
countries are confronted with a fall
ing production of gold--a disappear
ing supply of the quart measure.
In the United States gold produc-
ton recently has been pretty nearly
cut to half. falling from s101 900, 900
in 1915 to sa3.ooo.OOo in 1916, to ssi.-
100000 in 1917. to $69. 100000 in 1918
and to S5S.000.000 in 1919. In TIL"
Iransvaal. the great gold supply Of
England. the production has fallen
from $4,000. 900 in 1917 to s179.O0o.-
ooo IN 1918. and again, in 1919. to
$4,000. 900
Not because the gold is not in the
ground to be taken out: not because
the world does not need it: not be-
cause the hand of man has lost it's
cunning in the mining of this precious
