ELKs' CREED

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed IN
until your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approx
ing, cheering words while their
hearts can be thrilled and made hap
pier; the kind Of things you mean
to say when they are gone, say be-
fore they go.
The flowers you meant to send for
their collins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they
leave them. II my friends have any
alabaster boxes laid away, full Of
fragrant perfumes of sympathy and
affection, which they intend to break
over my body, I would rather they
would bring them out in by weary,
troubled hours, and open them that
l may be refreshed and cheered while
I need them.
| would rather have a plain coffin
without flowers, funeral without an
eulogy, than life without the sweet
ness Of love and sympathy. Postmor.
tenn kindness does not cheer the bur-
dened spirit. Flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance over the wear
away.

QUESTION OF FAIRNESS.

Without any question the rentpayers of New York city and that city is no exception. have been put in very uncom- fortablc positions by the nrofiteering ac- tioEs of their landlords, but just because some or many of the apartment owners have acted nercilessly toward their ten ants it does not mean that all have and 1t does not mean that property owners are not entitled to a fair increase in rents in order to meet the living costs.
 This has been clearly set forth by the finding of 8 New York judge in a case brought by tenant, in which the judge found occasion to characterize the atti- tude of the tenant as profteering quite as much as had been the case with other landlords. It has been repeatedly shown
 that there were landlords who were
 gouging the tenants for outrageous sums
 because they considered they had the chance. but it is quite as unfair for ten ants to threaten a strike against land lords by withholding rents when such l landlords are making only reasonable charges.
 There must be full realization of the ! fact that landlords are obliged to meet | increased costs quite as much as their tenants Rents likewise should be as fair for the landlord as for the tenant, and when that is assured square deal all around is provided. A landlord getting a | fair rent cannot be branded a proflteer. There can be no toleration of the pro- 1 fteering landlords and the courts are not inclined to do so but they likewise show | the necessity of being fair when one 1 judge rebukes 50 tenants for withhoidins
 existing reasonable rents and when an
 other allowed reductions in only six out
 of 240 protests against higher rents It is out of the question to think that all landlords can be judged by the un- scrupulous, and, as must be realized | when landlords are found who are dis. ! posed to do, and are doing, the right thing they ~aa1 protection against injus

If they think they can spend all and more than they get, when a dollar is worth but a half of what it used to bo, they must expect to go high and dry pn the rocks. It is impossible to throw away and still have, if it is continued very long, and yet that is the idea which a great many cannot seem to shake off Because the amount received may be greater there appears to be the disposi- lion To spend without reserve and no in- tlination to save when the saving may be small yet effective.

BLOCKING THIRD TERM.

People are not concerned so much to- Say over the possibility of the final out rome of the resolution introduced by Congressman Humphreys of Mississippi proposing constitutional amendment limiting the tenure of any person as president to two terms as they are over ihe disposition which calls for the pres sntntion Of such a resolution.
 Heretofore there have been very few who have considered 1t advisable 10 de- part from the custom set by Washing lon. The practice of serving only two terms has generally been accepted with out any thought of breaking such a pre- ccdcnt Where The efforts have been made Co secure third term elections there has always been defeat. and it has been pretty conclusiyely shown that the senti- rnent of the people is against the third term. regardless of how such an aspirant may otherwise be regarded.
 That this resolution is introduced now can be attributed to the attitude which i. being shown by the president in not be. inr willing to frankly and squarely statt whether he is to be a candidate in tn, ruminr democratic convention for a thirl Term. Everything points to the fact tha he win not be. or that he should not be bot thus far there has been no statemen thereon.

crR1IANy,s NEW PLANs.

Germany hasn't ceased to make re- quests upon the allies for the Tightening of the burdens imposed by the treaty, and it isn't likely to so long as it is able to ask for and obtain concessions. It is quite natural after having been encour- aged by successful endeavors along this line to follow them up by more. and just at the present time Germany has pre- sented request to the inter-allied con- ference at San Reno asking that in stead of being restricted to an army of 100000 it be allowed to increase 1t to 100000 and that F ha permitted to re- tain it's general stan intact.
 This can be regarded as the direct out come of the recent trouble that Germany has experienced, calling for the use of force to suppress those who were deter mined to overthrow the government. If reports are true Germany has not as yet got it's army down to the 100000 limit required by the treaty. Neither has it complied with other treaty requirements up to this time, and by the French it is maintained that it was because of the failure to so comply those who attempt ed to knock out the Ebert government were able to do what they, did.
 But the present time. following the up heaval which took place, is the logical time for Germany to put forth the strongest arguments in behalf of its claim, and naturally the best time fol getting favorable action if such is possi ble, for the plea of requiring such an ar my to maintain order can be giver greater emphasis right now.
 That France will immediately oppose | | is to be expected and unquestionably or good ground, but even others can be ex ] pected to do a@ much when it is realized 1 that Germany wants to retain a genera staff, the brains of an army, sufficient!

Heretofore there has been fire engine in that section but it can be readily appreciated what the advantage is going to be Of having motor driven apparatus which is ready on call and can make quick response to what ever point needed.

Sonora
 The state of Sonora, which Is report ed to have withdrawn from the Repub- lie of Mexico, is the most American re- zion in Mexico, according to a bulletin of the National Geographic society.
 Here in Sonora the American ideal has taken particularly deep root, writes Frederick Simpich in q communi- cation to The Society.
 'Mexicans from other states call these Sonora natives the Yankees of Mexico because of their thrift, advancement, and close relations with the Americans. Practically all families of the merchant and ranching classes send their children to schools in the United States
 These youngsters, returning to Mexi- co, are proud of their English-and their Yankee slang. They wear Ameri- can-made clothes, dance all the popular steps,, and display an understanding of American ideals which can only make of them more friendly and helpful com mercial neighbors in the years to come.
 Even now the average home in northwest Mexico is largely furnished with American wares-the Yankee sew ing machine, the piano, graphaphone, kitchen range, brass bed. and baby car riage are everywhere. And from Uncle ldCIOTleS get most of their ready-made clothing, their shoes, hats, vehicles, farming im- plements, canned foods, and sporting goods.
 At Nacozari, Sonora, a Yankee min ] ing company, has built free club and social center for it's Mexican employees there are baths, pool tables, a library of Spanish and English books, and cur rent periodicals.
 Strikes have never disturbed this camp. Its American managers are re- quired to learn the language of the country, to study the psychology of the people, and to respect their customs and traditions. When one of this company s native engineers sacrificed his lie in an explosion to, save many fellow work men, the company named the town plaza | in his honor and built a monument to l his memory

 Willard Fillmore, the second vice. president to be promoted by death, was the most commonplace president even ir a twenty-year period when the presi- dency remained at low-water mark. Tall and with magisterial front, but colo and hollow, he looked the part which ne played-the dummy of northern trimmers in politics and of southern traffic6ers in slaves.
 A fable of the day hit off the truth The new president must have a car riage and "Old Edward" Moran, . White House attendant in many ad. ministrations, took him to see a hand. some outfit, whose owner was leaving Washington and would sell flat bar gain.
