THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

In testifying before the interstate
commerce commission in its inquiry
concerning the general railroad stu
alton, and, among other things, the
possibility of reviving traffic by a re-
duction in freight rates, T. C. Powell,
vice president of the Erie railroad.
representing the trunk lines, said in
part:
At no time in recent history has the
commercial depression been so wide
spread and so universal thruout the
world Heretofore business depres-
sion, panics and disturbances have,
from the standpoint of international
trade been localized and restricted III
their effects. If the United States
could stand by itself. we would be in
a prosperous condition.
Railroad traffic officials can find no
justification for the thought that rail.
road rates. as they stand today, are
adversely affecting business or that a
reduction in said rates would stimu-
late or revive business. Some other
remedy must be found
In defiance OF Mr.. Powells argu-
ment it is a fact that in almost if not
quite every instance where there has
been a reduction in the rate charged
on any staple commodity shipments
of that commodity have increased.
However, his theory is about to be
put to the supreme test by the putting
into effect of the reductions ordered
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. The proof of the pudding is in
the eating.
'It is the belief of the carriers" de-
clares Mr.. Powell, "that with the ex-
eeption of isolated cases, which we
believe have now been rectified.- the
new scale of rates did not adversely
affect the business of the COUNTRY. It
is a matter of record that the volume
Of business in the country commenced
to recede prior to September /, 1920
(before the new rates went into ef-
fect), and the recession was not linz
tied to the United States"
But it would he difficult 70 show
that the business recession was not
accelerated a and increased enormous
ly by the higher rates. Passenger
traffic has been similarly affected
and in. contrast to Mr.. Poweirs ar
gument even now the railroads are
expecting a large increase in business

He came just as darkness vas feel

A storm was on. Rain beat in tor

it was only by chance that the scratch

heard. But it was heard-and the

by the boys who let him in.
He had the energy of a miniature

Friendship with him was first ma

restless ears fairly tangled the waves

Play was life to this wanderer from

He ate-and was grateful. Then
tired from his day., he curled his spot

the radiator and fell asleep.
Morning came with the passing Of
the storm. A warm sun welcomed the
visitor. When we went to tell him
good morning he answered back
with many wags of a tail and an
understanding whine and bark that
seemed to translate over and over

his outdoor family called to him from
a passing automobile. The last we
saw of him was a speck of a tail
quarter of a mile away turning a cor
ner down the street-vanishing into
mere memory.
But his brief stay was well worth
while. For he was all laughter and
friendliness.

quently at officers messes and almost
never in home. My daily thought
is of the war and its after effects.
There are certain convictions shaping
themselves gradually, as a result Of
these contacts and this rather ex-
tended observation.
One of magnitude is that it is the
English speaking nations. with An
pei who. are conducting themselves
most creditably in the hour of victory.
and who must bear the heaviest load
of responsibility for world-reconstruc
ton. 1 would write charitably upon
this point and without disparage-
ment ofSany others. Religion has
borne its fruit in character. The Brit
ish empire and America still hold
fast to the great Christian ideals upon
which we are established. And this
faith works out even in the conduct of
the private soldier in such places as
Salonica and Constantinople. The
theme is one for fuller treatment than
can be given it here; for its gravity
and significance are beyond measure.
There is a direct connection be-
tween this condition and the present
lesson. The religion of grace develops
integrity of character. When men
know themselves the direct benefit
ciaries of Divine mercy, with a re-
sponsibility to God alone. they watch
after the fashion of their faith. Sal
vation comes not by character, says
evangelical religion, but character
comes by salvation. True religion eX-
presses itself in handicraft in shop
and home and field. Orthodoxy IS
proved less by words than by giving
honest weight and sweeping under the
beds.
This teaching clinches the day $
lesson. Here we have it in Paul's
words-words worthy to be memor-
lied, as declaring the very purpose of
the coming of Christ, and the object
of mans redemption; who gave Him
self for us, that He might redeem US
from all iniquity.' Or. more fully, to
quote earlier verses in the Lesson.

SAFE CONDUCT
There isn't any danger in the kindly things
There isn't any sorrow in the fine and
No deep regret awaits you at the ending
There's - always joy in knowing that
you've played the friend in need.
There isn't any anguish in, the cheerful
words YOU speak,
The happy salutatiOn never leaves a olt-
ter sting.
No man has met dishOnor being genie
with the weak
And unselfishness has never caused an
hour OF sorrowing.
It's the petty little failures which disturb
us most at night,
The little aGs of meanness and the
trivial things we do:
The conscience never troubles us when We
have done what's right,
It's when we've failed to be our best that
shame begins to brew.
Oh, most of us are honest in the larger
fields Of life
And most of us are brave enough in times
of. stress and Woe.
And most of MS are fine enough IN days
of cruel strife
But it is in the little things the worst

The danger 70 our peace OF mind lies in
our selfishness.
In cruel little bits of speech which
thoashtlessly we say.

THE YAP SETTLEMENT.

whatever be the outcome of the
Washington conference, if it finally
has settled the controversy over Yap
it has not been in vain. While it is
inconceivable that this little dot Of
land could have led to war between
the United States and Japan, it has
been a prolific source of ammunition
for the Jingoes in both countries.
Yap lies about 400 miles west Of
Guam. 1t wass bought by Germany
from Spain in 1899 and made a cen
ter for her cable lines, of which ons
went to Shanghai, one to Guam, and
one TO German New Guinea. When
Japan drove Germany from the Pa
cific in 1914 she seized this along
with many of Germany's islands in
the Pacific ocean; the end of the cable
reaching Shanghai she cut and con-
nected with Japan.
The sudden interest of America in
zap was due, first to President Will.
sons plan to "internationalize" it,
plan not accepted by the allies, for
they were already under expressed
obligations to give It to Japan; and
second, to Secretary Hughes's use Of
it as the base for his diplomatic at
tack on the proceedings of the League
of Nations. He contended that neither
the allies nor the League of Nations
could dispose of Germany's captured
territories without the consent of the
United States by whose aid Germany
had been overthrown. and that there
fore Japan could not claim exclusive
possession of Yap nor of any of the
north Pacific islands, even tho given
to her by the allies.
Japan's reply to these contentious
has first, that Britain, France
and Italy agreed in 1917 before Amer
lea entered the war, that Germany's
Possessions in the north Pacific
should come to her at the final peace
settlement; second, that there is no
record Of President Wilson's reserva-
tions or plans regarding Yap in the
minutes of the Paris peace confer
ence; third, that all inundated areas
had been regularly assigned in the
regular procedures, America having
failed to attend the commission Oh
mandates tho invited; fourth, the fault
therefore. is with, America, not with
the League; fifth that nevertheless she
was willing to make special arrange
ments with the United States in re-
gard to the Yap-Guam cable. and
sixth, that it would be better and
much cheaper to lay a new cable from
Guam to Shanghai and give it to the
United States than to come to blows
about so trivial an affair.

included Bryan, LaFollette and

to build up papers like the Courier

Coal. mined in BRtain and shipped

10000 miners are out of work in the

he has requested tie. railroads to low

country are admittedly far too high.
One of the most potent causes OF the
nigh prices is the high railroad freight
rates. Coal can be brought from
Britain to the Atlantic seaboard. how
ever. without encounterins those
freight rates. AS a result British coal
