article reads as if this were an act Of
extreme generosity.

Sympathy for MIR. Schwab

The warm sympathy and respect
for Mr.. Schwab expressed by his in
vestigators represent the general
feeling. 1t was the hope and ex-
pectation Of every one that the
charge made against him would
prove unfounded. To have believed
anything else would have been to
doubt the elemental patriotism Of a
great and typical American. The
accusation was incredible, and there
is general rejoicing that it's falsity
has been promptly established-and
profound sympathy for the victim
of misdirected zeal.
The episode looks both ways on
the question of publicity. It gives
the clear reason why business men
dread Investigations In the open.
However scrupulously honest and
iaw-abiding man may be-, there is
always some item which, partly re-
vealed, unfairly stated, will Justify
sensational headlines. And it is
rare Investigator who Is above such
methods.
But the case also suggests the
more important sruth that denial
Of publicity works even worse evils
If found out. There may have
been excellent reasons for calling off
the investigators of the Shipping
Board books. But they should not
have been needed under the circum-
stances. Better the most unfair and
hostile investigation than the sus-
picions engendered by a burked
revelation. The Schwab charge
would undoubtedly have been dis
carded without a hearing if full
access to the books had been granted.
For better, for worse, complete
publicity is the only way for quasi
public business in republic. The
unfortunate and regrettable insult
to Mr.. Schwab only reenforces the
rule.

When To Be Rullish

In world all made to order there
would be neither peaks" nor "hol-
lows" in business-things would
move along evenly, expanding slowly
to meet the needs Of increasing pop
ulation and higher standards, of liv-
ing. But the world isn't made to or
der so we have periods of frenzied
activity, followed by depression,
dullness and great activity again.
Unfortunately, no one has succeed
ed in devising a formula by which
the various phases of the cycle can
be measured with exactitude. So we
canrct give statistical data to show
precisely when the turns for the bet
ter or worse will come. Nevertheless,
there is one infallible way to fore
cast the coming Of depression as we'll
as the return Of prosperity. When
the great majority of us are wildly
optimistic an early crash in business
is inevitable. And when the major
ity are pcssimistic and ready to con-
sign The country to the dogs it is as
certain as anything can be that pros
perty is just around the economic
corner.
1t is SO at present. Just as most
of us were overoptimistic when the
recent boom was about to reach it's
crest, so pessimism has been over
done of late. Business in this coun-
try Is not going to the dogs-now or
ever. 1t is going to 90 just as it has
in the past: that is, continue, with
minor Interruptions, to expand In a
manner that will so enhance the ma
tion's prosperity as to enable all of
US to enjoy higher standard of liv-
ing. The upturn may not be visible
to every one for while, but it is
under way right now. There Is more
than enough work to be done, and
presently we shall be doing 1t.
"Wealth," says the economist, "is
that for use and enjoyment of which
people will give money" Gauced by
that standard, we are Weather than
we ever were before. Presently peo-
pie will begin to understand that
fact. When they do depression will
be thing Of the past.
The time to be bullish is now.

A Strong Bishop

the next Protestant Episcopal Bishop
Of New York brings to that post
ability Of the first rank. Both as the
executive head of great parish and
as preacher ard pastor he ranks
among the ablest spiritual leaders of
the city. His success now is the vic
tory of strong man who prevails on
his merits-there is 40 hint of that
compromise upon a second best Or
inoffensive personality which 50
often occurs in conventions, diocesan
and otherwise.
No one, we think, will take too
seriously the somewhat heated state
ments made in DR.. Manning's namc
but without his authority touching.

less clergymen. DR.. Manning has
the strength to use bit; he has also
shown in his own parish breadth Of
outlook which bears testimony of a
generosity and argeness of mind
and negatives any narrow use Of
strength. The task which faces him
Is one Of union upon essentials, and
he will belle his whole career if he
administers his nigh Office upon any
other plan.
There will be especial rejoicing
that the stanch Americanisn and
active patriotism of Dr.. Manning
have been thus recognized. His voice
was powerful one for right during
the war. The eneries he then made
are greatly 'to mis- credit. He will
take office with the hearty good will
OF the entire unhyphenated popula-

Fear Expressed That Relief VIII

Issue of January 20, in which the writer
states the effects If prohibition on men

and who now drink to excess.
These men would be interested. T
think, in reading The Psychology Of
Relaxation, by G.. P w. Patrick in
which one chapter Is devoted to the
psychology Of Alcohol" The writer
states that the craving for ethyl alcohol
IS age old and was known 20 "the lake
dwellers of the Neolithic Age" Also
that it was autochlhonic, "arising in
dependently in all parts of the world"
The Eskimos. apparently, were i'm
Inune, possibly because they had no
fruit or grain from which to distiu all
cohol. However, one recalls with amuse-
ment how the Eskimos gorged them
selves with DR.. Grenfell's gift of gum
drops; also our own late craving for
candy and the enormous quantities now
consumed. Some tel us that our svsteros
turn candy into alcohol (Shall candy
also be prohibited
Statistics clearly prove that the con.
sumption Of alcohol has increased.
Whereas in 1850 the per capita con-
sumption in this country was 4.Os gall
Ions, In 1914 it was 2249 gallons. The
records also show-and this q body blow
to the cause of prohibition-that as the
consumption Of alcohol increased
drunkenness decreased. The problem,
was gradually solving itself. Who would
think nowadays of giving ones servant
sufficient liquor for several days de-
bauch? No one, venture to assert Yet
this is exactly what George Washing
ton did. 1t must be admitted that con-
siderable progress has been made alone
these lines.
In the year 1914 1893 Illicit stills
were seized by the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue. 1t would be interesting
to know how many were confiscated in
1870, that is, since prohibition.
Just what does this craving mean ?
10 quote from DR.. Patrlck's book, at is
the expression of the desire 70, release
from the tension Of the strenuous life"
And again, eve ;hus trace the desire
for alcohol to the inherent need of mind
and body for relaxation, a need normally
supplied by all the varied forms Of
play and sport"
My own fear is that something worse
than alcohol will take its place, which
will in turn be prohibited. OHIO
