The Spinster and the Race.

When Senator Reed took up an hour and a
half OF the time of the senate in opposing the
Shepard-Towner bill, he wasted considerable
portion of it in sneerng at spinsters, misses
who, having missed out on marriage, have no
business becoming mlstresseS OF other people S
children" We fancy that, had the senator from
Missouri taken second thought, he would have
omitted that aerative and otherwise unworthy
sentence from his datribe.
Who are these misses who have missed out
on marrage?" What. if any, service have they
done that the world is better for it?
History records the names Of many an emf
nent spinster who for one or another reason,
was deprived of any joy that may reside III
matrimony and yet did so much for suffering
mankind that she is gratefully remembered. Yet
where there is one of these million Others
submerge themselves, gratifying the maternal
impulse in becoming "mistresses OF other peo-
pies children" First in thought in this con-
nection will come the school teacher, whose min
istrations are next TO mothers the most i'm
portant child receives. Were she not here to
supplement the mother care a dreadful condi-
tion would ensue. Mother is generally too COM
training OF infants to give time to the problems
that accompany the childhood of the race. Under
the tuteage of the spinster, the child mind ex-
pands, its moral perceptions are quckened, and
it comes through growth and adolescence to use
full maturity, just because there was miss who
had missed ma.riinony, but whose fountain OF
mother-love had not dried Up.
The nurse, another useful person, is gener-
ally woman who finds in her vocation such
occupation not only for her mental and manual
skill and training but for her finer feminine SYM
pathies as we'll, that she foregoes any expert
ence of marriage, in order that she may do the
necessary work of caring for the SICK the
manned the unfortunate and miserable The list
is capable of endless extension. Celibacy MAY be
a matter of choice or of circumstance; in neither
should it endure the criticism of the cynic. None
can say what yearnings have been suppressed,
what longings have filled the spinsters soul, nor
can any deny to her the great service she has
done in the world. Some may have been unwise
or too rash in their ventures, impractical in their
Ideals or foolish in designs, but when was it that
man, with all his sapience, came to such perfec-
ton as includes prescience in all mundane mat
ters?
Even so capable and well-tested statesman
as Jimmy" Reed may now and then make mis-
take, and one of these times was when he sneered
at the old maids of the world.

An Antidote for Main Street.

The Chautauqua has opened in Geneva, we
read. and all those attending farmers picnic
are to be admitted free to the concert by Ha-
waian musicians In many another middle west
ern town similar courses Of lectures and enter
tainments will bring new and wider interests
City folks sometimes poke fun at the chautau-
quas, but there is no more healthful influence at
work in America today than this which brings
men, poets, musicians famous ministers, educa-
tors welfare workers and humorsts into init
mate and friendly contact with many people who
do not have much opportunity for getting out Of
the monotony of life. Instead of scorning the
chautauqua, big cities would do we'll to have one
of their own.
The Chautauqua is the antidote for Main
street. Its tendency is to lift people out of the
narrow provncialism and give them interest and
understanding of world movements and cultural
affairs In connection with the prospective holi-
day visit of President Harding to an isolated viii
1age in the White mountains, it said that he
had been there once before on the Chautauqua
platform. When people, no matter how remote
from the great centers, can have the opportunity
to hear Mr. Harding Mr.. Bryan and other fig
ures of Importance, even though accompanied by
Swiss bell-ringers or vrtuosoes OF the ukulele,
the institution that makes this possible is one
deserving OF much credit.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-07-31

These figures show that at the
middle of the last century, and down
to the beginning Of the civil war.
an appreciably larger proportion of
our national wealth was in the form
of circulating medium than at pres
ent or at any time since the civil
war. That is to say, our circulation
was larger-more inflated-then
than now. In the table, the per
capita wealth in 1921 is assumed to
be no greater than in 1918. the latest
date for which we have an estimate.
1t Is, in fact, probably somewhat
larger than it was then, in which
case the percentage would Of course
be lower But even If we have grown
no richer in the last three years,
while our circulation has increased,
the ratio of circulation to wealth is
still smaller than it was for 10 to 20
years before the civil war. The
figures of the ratio for 1918, namely.
2.3S, were just point less than the
average of the eight preceding dates,
from 1850 to 1912, which was 2.39,
and the present figures are only
thirteen one-hundredths Of one per
cent higher than that average-2.52,
as compared with 2.39.
1t may be desirable to reduce the
circulation to the average of the
years before the war, and 1t may be
that to do so would be to promote
the return Of prosperity and bust
ness, or even to be one of its major
causes. 1t will be we'll to look for
the root Of the trouble in another di.
rection.

Rainmakers and Dame Mature.

Suen thurder mutterngs mingle with the
roar OF the city streets as we read by the light
of an electric lamp in the middle of July
afternoon that Alberta farmers are offering a
rainmaker $1,000 an inch for precipitation. A
pleasant retrospect opens, of the days when Rain
maker Wright was regularly on the payroll of a
Nebraska railroad, and his stovepipe protruding
through hole cut in the side of box car was
a familiar sight along the line. Wright bom-
barded the heavens hereabouts back in the
drouth days of the early COS, and finally dsap-
peared from the scene. 1t is not on record that
he disturbed the scheme of nature to any alarm
ing extent or that a cloud, such as Elijah
servant deserted, no larger than mans hand,
appeared in response to his incantations. He
was but one of a number of such itinerant
pseudo scientists who seem to have LETT nu-
merous progeny.

atmospheric conditions, and the wind bowcth
Omaha daily bee., 1921-07-31
From the Boston Transcript

The Treasury department an
nounces that the per capita circula-
tion of money in the United States
on July / was $53.42, showing a de-
crease of 1915 since July I, 1920.
The impression widely prevails that
we are suffering from imitation of the
currency--that is, from too large a
circulation--that our present busi-
ness troubles largely arise from that
cause, and that reduction of the
circulation is step in the right di-
rection.
1t may be that such Is the case.
Beyond doubt an excessively inflated
currency is an evil. If our circula-
ton Is now larger than it ought to
be, that circumstance probably has
a bad effect upon business, and COR
rection Of it may be expected to
facilitate restoration of prosperity.
The question arises, however, to
what extent. if any, the currency is
in fact inflated; or, in another form.
how large our per capita circulation
ought now to be.
1t would not do to say that the
sum should remain fixed and con-
stant, as does the unit of value; that
just as a dollar contains 100 cents,
or 25.S grains Of gold 900 fine, so the
circulation must consist Of so many
dollars-$10. or $25, or $50-per
capita. 1t is quite obvious that cir
culation must be proportioned to
business, or perhaps more accurately
to wealth. For it is, in effect. the
fluid or mobile part of the wealth of
the nation. 1t is wealth in a form
convenient for handling and for
transfer from one owner to another.
1t seems logical, then, to say that
there should be a certain ratio Of
correspondence between the wealth
of the nation and the volume. of
circulation. A man who is worth
only $1,000, and who does only the
small business which is possible on
that capital, may not need to have
more than 10 per cent of it, or 800,
in ready money. But the man who
is worth million, and does the i'm
mense business which is possible on
such a basis of capital, needs a far
larger amount of ready money; per-
haps, as before, 10 per cent, or
100000. By analogy 1t may we'll
be argued that the rich nation needs
a larger circulation than a poor one;
