profitably, for what they had done them. But take the world general ly and it must be confessed that it's recent consecration seems to have worn thin, and it shows the querul- ousness of convalescence.
 It is not comfortable yet, nor good-natured. It is. anxious, 1t is perplexed. It is not sure what Is going to happen to it. and is du- biously impatient and unreasonable.
 Consider our recent efforts to elect a new president. Were they characterized by sweet reasonable ness? Were they discipline and con- secration of the war revealed in them by exceptional loftiness of po- litical aim and department? Was misrepresentation less common than usual? Was discussion on higher plane than ordinary? Did selfish ness yield to concern for damaged world reaching out after rehabilita- ton.
 One cannot answer yes to any ot these queries. It was hard to be- lieve that the country that was try ing to elect a president was the same country that, since it's last eff fort of that nature, had gathered all it's strength to do battle for what it thought was right. Party lead CTS seemed to contend primarily for control of the government, and nor al issues tended to be lost in the crush. It was not very heartening.
 No, the world of the moment IS not very nice. It tastes strongly of "the morning after" All the bad of the war is on its hands, but the good of it has yet to be worked out.-Edward s. Martin in Harper's Magazine for December.

GO FORWARD
lManufacturers Record.)


 Forgetting the things that are behind us in war and peace and business and losshes, let us press forward that We may regain busl- ness, recoup losses, that we may recreate properity and employment, that we may bring happiness where there is now poverty and sorrow, and profitable employment for the millions now seeking work.
 The task before us is big enough to stir the heroic in American man. hood, but the prizes to be won are great enough to stimulate all the | latent ambitions of every man and woman.
 Here are 105, 5,000,000 people, talk en as a whole the most virile, en- ergetic and resourceful in the world, living under one flag, unvexed by the arbitrary dividing lines of Euro pean nationalities, occupying as trustees the most richly endowed and superbly located country known to man.
 Our resources are beyond the power of our minds to grasp or of words to portray.
 Here in almost endless abund- ance are the resources on which to build an industrial and agricultural wealth greater than that of all the world today.
 With 6 per cent of the worlds population and 6 per cent of the worlds land area, we already pro- duce from 40 to 60 per cent or over of nearly all the greatest prod ucts of the world; have nearly half the worlds railroad mileage and a third of the words accumulated wealth, and this wealth is more evenly distributed than in any other country on earth through all the ages of the past or present.
 And yet we have scarcely begun to develop our natural resources as by their vast extent.
 Let us, therefore, forgetting the blunders of the Federal Reserve and the losses which it has brought, go forward.
 Let us build mighty network of highways, so badly needed; let us modernize and extend our rail and water transportation falilities, build the million or more dwellings % badly needed, build the schools, hotels and churches required to keep ID with our growing population.
 There is enough work which needs o be done, and the doing of which would enrich our country, to keep 'ully employed every laborer in he country.
 Down, then, with pessimism and inactivity, and up with optimism and progress. Fordward!

IS THE WORLD BETTER?

Christmas again, and is the world any better? Is it more comfortable? :? Is it more peaceable? Is it more confident that the future si going to be worth the adventure of test ing it? People who write letters from Europe have been telling us of the prevalence of sort of hys- terical gayety in the most distress ed countries. Is that passing? And if it is. what succeeds when the hys- teria evaporates? Is the residuum a gayety that is natural and whole some! Or is it soberness which all so is wholesome? Or is it gloom?
 One can hardly call it a gay world yet. There are cheerful people in it-a good many in this country es- pecially-but it is not yet a gay world. In the end the war may prove to have done the world good, but the end is not yet--if ever-and t.ie improvement is not yet marked. Indeed, one correspondent who writes from Europe says he has yet to see anyone whereas those who have been damaged by it are plenti- ful. But that is only like saying that the immediate results of illness are not good, and the convalescents are apt to be querulous and irri- table.
 There were many people who were improved by the war-deep- ened in their feelings and experience made aware of what was in them: A good many such people died, and doubtless died the better and more

Under Arms of Deceased Will Bring
 Confessions, Negro Says.

Helena, Dec. 22.-"A friend of the deceased" is what she called herself when she visited the body of Oliver Dace, negro, at local undertaker's establishment. Dace died in a Helena hospital, after be- ing shot by some unknown negro at Marianna. The ''friend of the deceased" presented two fresh eggs and asked that each one be placed under the arms of the dead man. Her explanation was that ths would cause the unknown murderer to con fess at once.

Stage Weight Gaining Contest and

St. Louis, Dec. 22.-Weight gain ing is rather unusual competition for girls finishing school, but such a contest in which all of the girl students competed, with an average gain of nine and one-half pounds since September 1, closed today at Underwood College, at St. Charles, Mo-, near St. Louis.
 The grand high gainer was Miss Marion Bowers of Moberly, Mo, who put on" 35 pounds in the three and one-half months thereby winning a prize in gold coin offered by the president, Dr. John L. Roem-
