New York, Aug. 2i.-This is not
regular sort of interview. 1t is
a perambulating chat with Mr.. Ber-
nard NJ. BaruCh, late head of the
War Industries Board. who hap
pcned to be moving in the same dl-
rsction on Fifth avenue Us the
writer. He had just returned from
Saratoga, and heard him tell a
Wall Street banker who stopped
him for a moment that he had been
"out OF the market since before we
entered the war" and that he was
looking around for something
worth while to occupy his atten-
tlon, other than mere money max
ing.
How about present conditions
in the world" 1 asked.
The only thing extraordinary
about present conditions is that the
times themselves are extraordinary"
he replied, with manifest sincerity.
We are suffering from the after
math of the greatest struggle that
the world has ever gone through.
1t affected the Laplandcr in his icy
home as well as the sCantily garbed
native of Central Africa. Nobody es-
capped. Never before has a war been
so sweeping in its damage to human
life and property. In this struggle
was used not only part of the
worlds resources. but practically all
were drawn upon.
Confidence shaken.
during the war the world worked
itself up into an ecstatic condition.
from which there came a great
devastating reaction. We are now
in the midst of this disintegra tion.
Team work has gone out of every
day life. 1t is everybody for them
selves these days. Confidence has
been shaken to its very foundations:
not alone confidence in each other.
but confidence in self. And. mind
what ] say. confidence is the key
stone of the arch of progress"
There must be a remedy" I sug-
gested
1T is the restoration of confidence
all over the world with the absolute
guarantee of individualism and the
reinstatement of personal initia-
tive" said Mr.. Baruch. Here at
home our farmer must feel CONF
dent that If he produces, his prod
ucts can be marketed at a fair
profit.
The industrial worker must be
confident that he will get permanent
employment at wages which will
enable him to properly Clothe, feed
and educate his family and put
something aside for the future. Sta
bility must be re-established which
will renew the confidence of the
business man. the manufacturer, the
investor, the banker and the broker.
Confidence-there you have 1.-THE
one big word with the magic
power"
How do you think we can re-
capture the lost Aladdin's Lamp?"
was questioned.
Facts Greatly Distorted.
Mr.. BaruCh repliedI II was recent
ly very much interested in a sugges-
tion from William Jennings Bryan
that there should be a publication
issued by the government devoted to
the printing of facts-the facts
There has been a tremendous dis

tortion of facts. An echo of the dis
trust that so many people have for
their neighbors and friends and in
ridentally, their fear of themselves
and skepticism about everything,
has been this widespread crucifiXion
OF the truth"
Some examples" I Interrupted.
Well. for instance" said Mr.. Ba-
ruCh. IF the real facts about sugar.
shoes. clothing and many other ne
cessities of life had been candidly
and properly presented at the right
time they might have prevented the
unnecessary and hysterical rise in
prices that brought hardships upon
the many. l do not know the value
of all this talk about the lack Of
housing facilities in New York City.
We certainly do not see anybody
sleeping in the streets l rather sus-
pect it is partly psychological. GER
tainly II is an exaggerated condi-
tion which is being taken advantage
of by somebody to the detriment Of
bone buyers and prospective
renters. But all that we see is a
wholly natural although cruel after
math Of the colossal struggle
through which we have passed"

l Great mcrcies promised unto the repent
ant. II The commandment is manifest
Is Death and life are set before them
And 1t shall come to pass, when
all these things are come upon
thee. the blessing and the curse.
which l have set before thee, and
thou shalt call them TO mind among
all the nations, whittier the Lord
thy God hath driven thee.
And shalt return unto tho
Lord thy God, and shalt obey his
voice according to all that l COM
mand thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul;
That then the Lord thy God
will turn thy captivity, and have
compassion upon thee, and will re-
turn and gather thee from all the
hath scattered thee.
4 II any of thine be driven out
unto the outmost parts OF heaven,
from thence will the Lord thy God
gather thee, and from thence will
he fetch thee:
And the Lord thy God will
bring thee into the land which thy
fathers possessed, and thou shalt
possess it; and he will do thee good
and multiply thee above they IA
theirs.
And the Lord thy God will cir
CumCise thine heart, and the heart
of thy seed, to love the Lord thy
God with all thine heart. and with
all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
I And the Lord thy God will put
all these curses upon thine enemies,
| and on them that hate thee, which
prosecuted thee.
And thou shalt return and
obey the voice Of the Lord, and do
all his commandments which I COM
mand thee this day.
And the Lord thy God will
make thee plenteous in every work
of thine hand. in the fruit of thy
body. and in the fruit of thy cattle,
and in the fruit of thy land, for
good; for the Lord will again re-
joiCe over thee for good. as he re-

CARDINAL PREDICTS
SHORT WOMEN'S VOTE

Baltimore, Md. Aug. 24-CardinaI
Gibbons today expressed his belief
that very small percentage of
the women of the country would
avail themselves of the right of
voting after the novelty had worn
off
The Cardinal, probably the most
widely-known of the opponents of
votes for women. would not VEN
ture an opinion as to what the
moral effect of suffrage for women
would be.
i regret very much that the
women have taken the plunge into
the deep" he said.

GOVERNOR NAMES FIVE
TO STUDY RACE ISSUE

Raleigh. n. G., Aug. 24.-Creation
of a commission of five to study the
race problem in North Carolina was
asked today by Gov. I. W. Beckett
in a special message to the general
assembly in session here.
Declaring that race segregation
on public carriers was settled
fact. Governor Beckett nevertheless
called attention to the injustice Of
a negro paying the same fare as a
white man but not receiving equal
accommodations.

classified postal station at 2l05
Rhode Island avenue northeast.
Four carriers will operate from

New York City
New York, Aug. a.

New York, Aug. a.
1t was after midnight.
And a sudden shower.
Had driven ME.
Into the CHEEKY doorway.
OF an all-night drug store.
And under the L stairs.
Was a newspaper hut.
And inside was man.
Under the sickly glare.
OF a daring gas Jet.
Who was looking out.
With sightless eyes.
And now and then a smile.
Played around his mouth.
And when the rain stopped.
I walked out to him.
And said how cool it was.
After the shower.
And he said that it was.
But everybody rushed home.
And he guessed he would.
Close up his little shop.
And I waited for him.
Until he tapped his way.
Out to the sidewalk.
And he was going my way.
And we walked together.
Until we came to a park.
Where he held out his hand.
And said he stopped there.
To sit on a bench each night.
And I asked IL I might
Sit beside him awhile.
And he told me of his life.
And how he prayed for strengt
When he knew he was going.
Into the Land of Darkness.
And that it wasn't so bad.
Then he told a funny story.
And I thought of my troubles.
And how small they are.
And we sat silent awhile.
And I drank in the beauty.
OF the midnight heavens.
hunB with patlneS OF gold.
And far down below.
The silvery Hudson.
Was ripping on to the sea.
And after a time.
My sightless friend.
AS IL sensing my mood.
Placed his hand on my arm.
And said: God is very good
And when left him.
He was still sitting there.
With a smile of content.

Has Long Career.

Scott Ferris. who has just de-
feated Senator Gore for the Demo-
cratic Senatorial nomination in
Oklahoma. went TO the state legis-
Iature at the early age Of - years
and has been in public life ever
since. He probably knows more
about public lands than any other
man in the country.
Evidence recently brought to light
proves that Representative John II.
Small, of North Carolina. long re-
Carded as a prosaiC person. really is
a poet at heart. Here is one Of the
letters which he sent out along
with a lovely package OF fOwer
seeds. a few weeks ago. The re-
cipicnt. a lover Of the musical and
beautiful. handed out the letter for
publication.
Is Poet at Heart.
My Dear Madam: As I glance
through my Office window today. I
see no harbingers Of springtime or
flowers. The skies are heavily
overcast The chill air ef winter
Fingers Fog and dampness envelop
the bare trees and obscure the
buildings Even the imposing dome
Of the Capitol unwillinEly emerges
from the humid gloom.
But the witchery of hope enables 5
me to heCkon the gentle zephyrs
and balmy sunshine Of May, when
spring unlocks the flowers to paint
the laughing soil" and hangs her
firfant blossoms on the trees" 1t is
Of you and that glad hour 1 am
/ thinking.
/ If you love flowers, and every
woman does. perhaps a tiny packet
! Of seeds sent forward by mail may,
under loving care, tempt smile
more beautiful than fits bloom.
Very sincerely.

is THE OPPORTUNITY
SELF-EVIDENT?

Now that grownups are really
getting educated in the important
subject of childhood, and finding
their boosted American school sys-
TEN stranded on the shoals of inef-
ficiency, we may look for a better
era. There was no hope for i'm
provement SO long as the people who
pay for the schooling were so COM
placent as to think it was the best
to be had, cheap as it was.
1t has been the good old parental
habit to consider the public school an
opportunity all-sufficient in itself to
awaken the best in the young per-
son. They sent off their children
at eight-thirty. every morning, pro-
vided meals, paid for clothing and
books, scolded over report cards once
month-and left the rest to Prov
idence and the teacher.
If the boy didn't do well and
wanted to quit at the end of few
years in high school, father would
say: We'll he don't realize his OPP
portunity. Let him get out into the

world and learn for himself that
education is worth while, the same
as | did, And out went John,
Frank or Jim into a work -a-day job
to find too late what he had missed,
and to envy college boys who were
always getting ahead of him in spite
of their late start in business.
The fathers duty does not end
with providing the opportunity of
schooling. 1t is UP to him to sell
his son on the idea of education. No
body else can have his influence ov-
er the boy. Nobody else will be so
much to blame if the son shall only
awaken to the TRUTH after school
day opportunities are far behind.
Nor has he fulfilled the duties of
a father, nor taken advantage of his
own opportunity until he shall have
taken a personal interest in the
srhools of his, community and made
them the best possible.
The noble profession of school
teaching should not be turned over
to cheap incompetents. That isn't
the way to make schooling the oDpor-
tunity you claim it to be, dad.

RIGBY SUGAR COMPANY
RISES IN POWER

The Beet Growers Sugar company
OF Rigby has been attacked as to
their ability to meet their indebted
ness and take up their outstanding
bonds, even tho the audit of their re-
sources showed that they have mil
lion dollars worth of property over
and above their liabilities.
They have been holding some
meetings to go over the situation
and show everybody just how they
stand, with the net result that the
farmers are taking over the bonds
and carrying that investment them
selves. Large numbers of them are
subscribing money to buy bonds and
the officers are iubilant over the
prospect of the $350,000 worth of
bonds being absorbed by the beet
growers. If this is accomplished, it
will be quite a victory for the mu-
tual sugar company following the
foul attack made by man who
bought stock in the concern for the
one purpose of gaining the right to
raise a rumpus by suing theu.
We like to see the rebound, and
shall watch the purchasing of sug-
ar bonds with interest.
