EDUCATION AND WORK.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer)

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer).
 If faith without works is dead, ed ucation without productive effort not only should be considered to be dead but damned. What a man knows that is valuable m the broad view is that knowledge which he employs for the general good.
 Uncle Joe" Cannon at eighty-five continues to be one of the most val uabIe and efficient members of Con gress after a service which has broR- en all records. He is a worker.
 Viscount Bryce at the age of eighty three has published a monumental work Viscount Morley is eighty. three, still vigorous Samuel Com pers at seventy-one is the oldest labor leader in the world and still goins strong. All these men are workers, giving all their knowledge and their strength all that is best in them to their fellow-men.
 It was Franklin. who, at the age of seventy-four rheumatic and shak- en. tired by long and unprecedented service, was set to work to put our young Republic on it's feet. He gave up work with his life at eighty-four His wisdom and his 1abors continue to contribute to the welfare of man kind.
 The 125th anniversary of the birth of Horace Mann just recently has been generally celebrated throughout the country. He was a factor in "the larger sphere of mind and morals" It was his belief that education was the greatest benefit, morally, inte. actually and materially. that Young America could receive. He did his best to see that education came to them And he died working.
 Many men regard themselves as done in at fifty or sixty. No man ever Is done at any age who possesses an average education and regards la bor as a. blessing which 1t truly is.

HUNGER IN RUSSIA

There is hunger in Russia Not hunger for bread and potatoes, per- haps, but hunger for the most ordi- nary necessities of life. There is nu white bread In the cities of Russia. and very little meat or butter Or sugar or fat. Milk and eggs are be- Ing given only to children, seldom to the sick. Throughout my six months sotourn in the Russian provinces, I saw no chocolate. no oranges, or lem ons, no coffee. no real tea, no cake. No trarnways are running In the Cit ies Of Russia, no lamps are burning in the streets. outside of Moscow. In the winter, water pipes are bursting, equalization and sewage systems col lapse, misery and h1deous sufferings are inflicted on millions. There Is a scarcity of medicines and soap, and an abundance of disease, The peas ants have enough to eat, yet rural Russia is eiamoring for salt and kero- sene and cotton fabrics and nails and blows and scythes.-The News Re public

What Others Say
TO AN INHABITANT OF PARADISE

(Scudder Middleton in July Yale
 ReTiew) How goes it in your star-it world The silences, the breeding wood? Does there the tiger hunt no more, Tte falcon twttter for his hood? Have you stripped all the boushs that
 talk,
 And calmed the torrents from the
 hill?
 Are lamb and wolf now reconciled? Is hunger b;.nished from your sill? Does tnat inexorable whip, Which drove US needless face to face, No longer burn along your veins Or cut your new dispassionate grace? Do you watch struggle unconcerned Hear voices call you and not speak. There in your tineless acres feel Above your I1inshfp with the weak? Oh, guard the gates that shut you in. Make sure the world behind your
 eyes! My world of men and lust and wheels Begins to march on Paradise.

THE '@UNKNOWN's BURIAL PLACE
(Fron the Boston Post).

(From the Boston Post).
 At the meeting of the executive committee of the American Legion at Indianapolis today there will be urged change in the government plan for the burial of our ''Unkno nown' soldier whose body is soon to be brought home from France. In stead of burial at Arlington ceme- te1y, in tho new ampItheatre, inter ment in the crypt in the Capitol building just north of the rotunda will be suggested. Several posts of the Legion, including George Wash Ington No. l. have already gone on record as favoring this idea
 We think. as we have more than once, said. that burial of the un- named hero would be more appropri- ate, all things considered. in the Capitol Arlington Is beautiful and there could be no serious mistake in choosing 1t; but Americans who visit the Capitol are as ten to one com pared with those who go to the ma tionaI cemetery. Tho patriotic les son, therefore, would be far more generally impressed. And to have Dur one typical warrior buried in ii place set apart for him would be all the moro impressive.

PPTX 2TIE POOR
 SPANISH PRISONER

(F'rom the Worcester Daily Telegram)
 To a gentleman of Worcester county one R. de S. writes from Madrid fo offer him a third part of a fortune of $S6o,oOO in return for the simple matter of extricating the said R. de s. from the embarrassment of Ian gushing in a dungeon cell
 R. de S.? Can 1t be possible that our hoary old friend is in prison again? And calling upon a gentle man of our own county to help him out? Too bad. He really is getting to deserve our pity. He ought to know more than to try his old trick on a gentleman of Worcester county Probably he can't resist the tempta- ton. His family have been getting out of prison that way for genera tons, ever since the distinguished don, de sepcion, was decorated with the Order of the Gold Brick for cheating Columbus. Still, that's no excuse for the present holder of the title.
 Just for a change, we'd like to be on good Spanish authority, that R. de S. was in prison perma- nently.
