more than one-third of all the gold
coin and bullion in the world. At the
beginning of last month it was more
than two billion, nine hundred million
dollars, and today is probably near or
equals the highest level ever reached

history. But the world cannot con-
tinue long to pay so heavy tribute.
and we do not need more gold. The
only other way the world can repay
us what it owes us is in goods and
services. And only as we accept such
payment can we hope to maintain our

which our exports can he paid for.
The emergency tariff bilIlwith its anti
dumping section looks like an effort
to prevent foreign nations from pay

Good Luck and Bad Luck.

1t is good luck to never have bad
luck, vile on the other hand it is bad
luck to never have good luck Most
people have part good luck and part
bad luck, on account of things don't
always happin like you wunt them to
instead of like you wish they would
ent.
Some of the 1uckiest people are the
ones that are always finding some
thing. Some fellows could wawk
along all their life looking down with
out finding enything, vile others jest
haff to wawk about a block thinking
of something elts and they find some-
thing. 1t is always lucky to find
money, espeshilly a lot.
If you mock the salt seller over and
some of the salt goes on the table it
is Supposed to be bad luck unless you
quick pick the salt seller up and throw
some of the salt over your left Shout
der, and even then if the top comes
off and the salt goes all over the floor
you're libel to get a licking, being some
of the werst luck there is.
1t is bad luck to wawk under lad

and a lot of paint is dripping down.

unless. some fello gives you a kick or
a automobile bumps you vile you are

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

A Washington dispatch announces
that farmers are growing fretful over
the delay by the senate in acting on
the emergency tariff bill passed by the
house. If farmers are growing fret
full probably the fretfulness is con-
fined entirely TO the political farmers.
The dispatch adds that Fear is ex-
pressed that delays have already I'M
dermined the good the bill was ex-
pected to do them"
The bill was not expected to do the
farmers any good. Promoters OF the
bill knew that it could not do them
any good. The farmers themselves
knew it and have manifested no in
terest in the matter. The entire
emergency tariff business is an effort
to make the farmer think that his in
terest is being cared for and to pave
the way for an advance in the rates
on manufactured goods.
Hitherto when tariff rates have
been raised with the consequent ad-
vances in prices the farmer has COM
planned. The protectionists hope to
stop the farmers mouth by pretend
ing to accord him benefits equal to
those given the manufacturers. I

TO INVESTIGATE HIS CASE
Negro Soliciting Funds Is Picked Up
by Police.


ITO whom ever it may concern: Mr..
George Stones house was destroyed by
fire April IL. leaving n mother. wife
and three children homeless. He is
now soliciting to purchase tent
Please help the poor man, he sure
needs it. Mr.. II. Morgan"
With the above statement written in
a half-legible hand on a large sheet
OF paper. Charles Wesley. negro, was
going from house to house on the
West side today accepting donations
from tender hearted citizens. Nota-
tons under the statement showed he
had collected $7.55. Someone notified
the police and Capt. Morris Leonard
and Driver Mitchell Bundy started a
search.
They found Wesley at the back door
of a house between Fifth and Sixth
avenues on Tyler street and started to
take him back to the station. Arriv-
ing at the front walk, Wesley suddenly
dropped the paper and dashed down
the walk. The officers started in pur-
suit. Unable to gain on him, Captain
Leonard fired three shots into the air
with his revolver. At each report the
negro increased his speed several
miles an hour. Up and down the
streets and alleys, around corners and
across yards he ran, the officers in hot
pursuit. IE an alley near third street
he finally became winded and gave
up.
He was locked up in Jail and booked
for investigation. The fact that he
tried to run away has aroused the sus-
picions of the police that he may be
wanted for something more serious.

AS Sylvester read these letters of the
past a smile played about his lips and
now and then drop of moisture
trickled from his eyes. He forgot his

the mail even when living in the same
town.

letters he replaced the blue ribbon

of Gods kingdom on earth, as any
reformer or preacher. This fact
should never be permitted to slip out
of the consciousness of those who are
striving for a better social order
Class bitterness will be prevented if
we all have the sanity to avoid vicious
generalizations which make character
dependent upon possession or social
position.
Everybody admits that there are
countless sanity poor: therefore the
point to be urged is that there are a
host of godlN rich men and women,
sincere servants of the kingdom ideal.
Dives was condemned not merely be-
cause he was rich, but because he had
failed in his social responsibility and
wealthy friends-there were Simon
and Levi, for examples well as
poor. The agitator who tries to make
worldly possessions the dividing line
between the desirable and the unde-
sirabie, the good and the bad, can find
no authority in the New Testament for
doing So
Couldn't Afford Wealth.
Agassiz, the scientist, hadn't time
to make money" There have been
myriads of others=thousands of them
own time = who have renowned
wealth or the possibility of acquiring
it, because they were devoted to aims
better worth while. There is inspira-
ton in the contemplation of the in
Vulnerable company of saints and ser
wants of the public veal who simply
cannot afford to become rich.
That attitude squares with the New
Testament teaching. Jesus taught the
world that money is not the best thing
and that poverty is not the worst
thing. True, this old world has been
slow to learn it's lesson. With fine
irony Jessica Nelson North once put
the case in a bit of Century verse:
Draw in the latch string, lad, and close
the door,
Lest those who faint without from toll
and pain
| Should rob thee of thine own too meager
/ store.
| Can one poor crust sustain these fam
/ ished forms?
| Can one poor shelter save them from the
storms?
! And surely those who wait and hope in
| vain
Shall turn and rend thee when thou hast
no more.
So draw the latch string in and close the
| door.
There was a man would fling it open
wide
But He was crueified."
Life is for giving rather than fol
getting, said the Master. He warned
explicitly against the perils of wealth
And he put life on a higher plane
than the acquisition and enjoyment o.
material things. He taught that
! mans life consists not in the abun
dance of things he possesses; but il
his relation to the eternal riches o.
the spirit. Goodness. in his estimate
is more precious than gold.
| Does it seem like mere "pious talk
IN n Inv
problem of poverty and wealth con
sists in each individual life being ricl
toward God? Far from it Nothins
else is half so practical We canno
leg1slate a solution for this ancien
| question. Nor can we settle it by revo
lutions or by new forms of govern
ment or by economics. Only a new
lspiritZthe Christ spirit-can bring il
the new order which we contemplate
as the kingdom of heaven on earth.

To Marry or Not to Nfarry?-e
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

To Marry or Not to MaFry?-2.
And there's the money question. A
poor man who marries young has to
be financial genius nowadays to get
one inch farther on than he is on his
wedding day 1t takes so much money
to support family, that it is almost
impossible for him to save a dollar.
Worse still, he is bound to stay put
where he is, because with a wife
and children to feed and clothe, he
cannot afford to be out of work, or
FISK what he has on the chance of
getting something much better. The
poor young married man cannot be a
soldier OF fortune. He is a slave to it.
This, also, is to be considered, that
no one takes the interest in a married
man that they do in a single man.
This is unjust, but it is merely true
An attractive young bachelor is asked
about to places where he meets the
men who have plums to hand out, and
ne has his fortune pushed by women
who like him and say to their hus-
bands, why don't you do something
for that nice young Jones?" But let
young Jones get married and ley
drop him like a hot potato.
For these. and many other reasons,
| 1t is suicidal for a poor young man to
get married. UNLESS he marries a
certain type of girl. 1t is fatal for the
poor and ambitious young man to
| marry a selfish girl who will demand
much of him, or an extravagant girl
| who will spend all of his money, or a
| high-tempered girl with whom he will
| be in a perpetual wrangle, or even
just an ordinary, commonplace, do
| mestic girl who will be just as much
dead weight for him to carry.
But there are women who are
flames of ambition themselves. and
who are not burdens on the back of
the man who is trying to climb the
ladder of success. They are boosters
| who push them up. They are spurs
in his side that make him climb.
1 have seen women breathe their
! own fire and spirit into husbands I'M
| til they animated mere Jumps of clay,
and turned them into efficient men.
1 have seen many a clever woman
| place. I have seen wives who were
such good press agents that they con-
WINGED the public that their ordinary
| husbands were geniuses. 1 know
many a doctor and dentist whose
clientele rests on their wives popu-
larity. I could point to a dozen men
who go to work every morning, in
stead of playing golf, because they
are afraid of their wives.
An ambitious wife with good
health social tact, and stiff back
bone Is the best asset any man can
have, and he does well to marry such
a woman the minute she says yes. -
no matter how poor he is. She will
find a way to get along.
Then there are, of course. the
women who have money and valuable
family connections. and who can give
their husbands a hand up. That kind
of wife is a help and not a hind
rance.
So. whether a poor young mar
should marry or not. depends upor
himself, and upon the girl, and upor
what he asks-of life.

g Opponents of the proposed safes tax
are finding many imaginary objections
10 the measure, but up to this time
,nev have been unable to dispose OF
the fact that a similar tax is in sue
cessful and satisfactory operation IN
various parts of the world. 1t seems
nertinent to recall in this connection
that postal savings banks were IN
operation in many countries, even IN
the Hawaiian islands, before the
limited States set up these popular
institutions. What has the opposition
TO offer that is better than sales
fax? The government must raise an
immense amount of money, approx
matelv s15.OOO,0OO,OOO, within the next
three years. Excess profits and in
come taxes will not do it, because
profits and incomes are declining.
RAPIDLY. Rates on these items already
are so high that they cannot well be
made higher. The sales tax already
is in operation to a limited extent.
The manner in which it is operating
disposes of most of the arguments
that are being made against making
it apply to all articles entering into
general consumption.

Australia has instituted a protective
tariff directed especially at imports
from the United States. Argentina is
preparing to take similar action. BY
the time the senate gets around to
acting on the emergency tariff meas
ure passed by the house, we may fini
the bars to foreign trade already up.
The fact that the proposed law is to
last but six months and the further
fact that the senate seems to be in no
hurry about it indicates that the law
makers have little faith in its power
for good.

The State Journal is in receipt of
letter from a subscriber at Scandal
who takes issue with this paper on the
repeal of the excess profits tax and
the substitution of a sales tax. Want
of space forbids replying to the letter
in detail. Attention is called, however,
to the fact that the writer makes the
common mistake of thinking that
taxes of any kind come out of the
pockets Of anybody but the ultimate
consumer. He pays it all. no matter
how it is collected. The simplified
form of a sales tax is designed to
make everybody, rich and poor, pay
according to what he spends, to pre-
vent eyasions, and the pyramiding of
profits. The writer suggests that il
those who pay the excess profits tax
object to it they might cut down their
profits. But these are not the per-
sons who are opposing the tax, at least
not on account of it's expense.
