WHY WE WORK

Poverty tsa hateful condition and yet it is not the greatest among the handicaps under which men strhggle find thoir places in the world pro- lessor in neflof our most famous Eastern universi- ties nsistsl thaf is spur to all worthwhile en- deavof. a anIlls
 Every one who is not in prosperous circumstances desires to be- and poverty Subjects the individual to such rigorous experience that the imperatReness of diligence and economy is inculeaed so firmly in his mind that future is made much more prob able than it would otherwise be If these necessary qualities of human nature left undeveoped
 Our authority points out that the majority of the worlds benefactors were men who were not favored in the beginning with the possession of the luxuries of life, and in many instances, were men who even lacked the commonplace necessities of life. But the insisent spur of want urged them ceaselessly; it compelled unremtting toll, and the result of their 1abors is evidenced by the high stage or civilization which4 humanity has, attained 95s-. lesf-.
 Too, poverty Is considered to be sort of dis grace yhahy people as the direct and inevitable sulf or incompetence laziness Or both. Conse- qucntly pride will drive and women to strive heroically and in this fact also note the dem onstration of the principle that poverty is in stead of handicap to success.
 However, H must not, be inferred that rich young men incapable of rising to emnence. Such an inference would be faulty flor each year thousands of boys who born to wealth and affluance are winning their spurs in every field of endeavor, prov ing their worth by remarkable and permanent achievements. It might be added that the youth who ia able, to resist all the temptations which the pos session of money offers and who still goes ahead and wins on his merits doing hard and con scentious work, has accomplished worthily the boy wno has overcome the handicap of poverty.

 You have to beat a boy to kceT him from bathing every day in sum mer. And you have to beat him to make him bathe once week in winter.
 A man can get through life with out having any wealthy relatives. But woman will go ahead and invent some.
 A lot of people in this world arc against thing merely because they hate some man who is for it.
 The reason why two can live as cheaply as one is because the married man with $40 week salary looks like a hobo and single man with a s20 week salary looks like d dude
 Getting married in June doesn make matrimony any more of a pic nie than getting married in December
 A woman has the same sort of af lection for an old corset that a man has for an old pipe.

ROOTS ADVICE

Elihu Root, former Secretary of War, former Secretary and former Senator, suggests that tie League of Nations be ratified in such form that it will require further action by foreign coun- tries and that later be Congress of Nations suggest amendments to it. That is all right. Ot the League of Nations will have to be amend ed. There have been eighteen amendments to the Constitution of the United States-ten of which were proposed by the First Congress. If the League oi Nations should be adopted and be as successful as it's friends hope may become, it will be amended from time time for generations-perhaps for ever
 Why not follow the advice of Mr Root?

IN SEVERAL recent articles I
q have discussed the arnistice of
a Riga, that is, the preliminary
peace settlement between the
Russians and the Poles-as is affect
eli the latter country and as the
rise Of Poland was destined to in
fueDce the future relations OF Eu-
ropean states. But the settlement
at Eiga has a far wider Significance.
We are, in fact, in The presence Of
one more, the fourth in order, Of
those great settlements Of European
territories sluce the close Of the
Thirty Years War, which generally
is accepted as marking the begin
rim Of modern history.
Taken together, the treaties
signed at Paris and the Riga docu-
nlent, to which must be added Il
rumber Of subordinate agreements
Ike those between the Baltic states
end Russia, constitute settlemen,
wholly comparable In magnitude and
importance to those of Westphalia,
Utrecht and Vienna. The liquida-
ton Of the German War, like the
liquidation Of the wars of the Refor-
nation, of Louis XIV, Of the French
Revolution and Of Napoleon, must
open q new page In world history.
1t is interesting and not without
value for the future, then. to ex-
anime this latest European settle
rnent, having regard to It's relation
to the last. For from the fall Of
Napoleon In 1915 to August, 1914
that is. from the Battle of Waterloo
to the invasion of Belgium by the
