Satisfied

I'm tired of intellectual kicks
Against the worlds stupidity;
know the earth is full of hicks,
know it's always going to be.
I'm conscious that my friends and I
Are much superior to the race,
Deserving, when we come to die,
To go to some more high-brow
place. .....-.
And yet, just as my thoughtful fear
Is coming closest to despair,
think / may be happier here,
Than in my best imagined There;
For here, there is lofty pride
In being the Brainiest and Best,
While over on the Other Side,
I'll be no better than the rest.
So let me strut my little day
Among my foolish peers, and be
Filled full of gratitude that they
Can furnish pleasant sport for me.
And when | go to my reward,
l hope that, in my pride's behalf,
A gracious and indulgent Lord
Will tell the angels not to laug !,

munion in our Lord Jesus hrist."
All Christendom could not show a
finer or more impressive personality
than one of the great figures among
the Russian Christians whose destitute
people offered to help. When he be-
gan to state their needs saw at once
that he was over-modest and thought
he might go too far; yet it had not
been long since he has been forced
to go and humbly ask one food pack
age for himself. He was evidently
trying to suggest to me only an ir-
reducible minimum. And that in a
region where not SO long before people
had been dying on the streets with
hunger.
When l went on another occasion to
one Of the clergy and offered help |
was puzzled by his silence and calm
ness. There was no sign of joy over
it. Perhaps l had not offered
enough? But I understood soon aft
erward when my companion said, 'You
must give that poor man time. He
is so confused at the offer of such un-
dreamed Of help that he cannot get
used to it and does not know what to
say or how to act" eve have felt
as if we were walking on air these
last days at our house," said another
old and destitute religious" who had
lost everything by disaster and could
not conceive how food package had
ever come to him., "In fear of her
boldness," says another petition, "she
presented her first application men
tioning only those who were really on
90 ~ h,,&
many more who are in sore need Of
help. There are women whose whole
life was one of devotion and service,
but now are old and helpless with no
comfort in the present, nor, hope o.
anything better in the future" They
were all helped through the standard
food parcel, consisting of fifty pounds
Of flour, twenty-five pounds of rice,
ten pounds of sugar, ten pounds of
fats, twenty cans of milk and three
pounds Of tea.
The surprise of the people never
quite disappeared, surprise that Chris
tian churches with whom they were
quite out'of touch should be the send
ers of this relief. No man ever had
a greater privilege than l had, as the
messenger of American church, in
carrying that surprise to these peo-
pie. r.
Perhaps churchmen could not be
further apart than the helpers and the
helped in this expedition, but somehow
l never felt it, never thought of it,
never had any reason to do so. And
one reason was, I think, that the pre-
vailing Christianity of Russia does
not have it always in it's mind to pro-
selytize and to make you submit to
it. 1t does not always have that
dream at the back of its mind. 1t is
content that there should be other
forms of Christianity than its own.
The American churches, which
through the Federal council made pos
sible this service to the Christians Of
another land with whom there was
no ecclesiastical tie, have done some
thing unique among all efforts at re-
lief. The heart of that great Russian
Christianity has been touched and
relieved by their friendship.

Cheers for Wilson

Washington, Nov. 15.-It was eth
a sign Of the times or an illustration
Of the fiickleness of the average
American. Withal, it was dramatic
and, for certain reasons. displeasing.
On election night in Washington,
the Washington Post, on a large
screen over Pennsylvania avenue,
flashed the returns. In the beginning,
news trickled in so slowly that resort
was had to comic moving picture
and then to pictorial presentation of
some of the distinguished men and
women Of the day.
1t must be remembered that in the
mind of The Post, President Harding
is the greatest and most lovable man
who has ever occupied the White
House. Of course, 10, was the picture
of the president that was first pre-
sented.
1t was greeted by a sporadic ap-
plause confined to the exterior of the
great circle witnessing the show. The
great heart said nothing. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY tolerant but not in the mood to
suffer an abuse of its patience. The
screening of the mild and gentle face
Of Vice President Coolidge elected
neither applause nor abuse. There
were innumerable smiles, and some
open laughter. Then dawned on the
screen Woodrow Wilson with Mrs.
Wilson. The applause was deafening.
/, was continuous. 1t was still rev.
erberating when The Post ordered
change. There was the attorney gen
eral. Kisses! The first Of the night!
Then again the president. Kisses!
And then some one cried, raucously,
"Take him away, take him away"
They had forgotten that the man was
not Harding, but the president of the
United States. Anyway it was still,
"Move him along, move him along"
And then The Post in an attempt to
appeal to the best in man, screened
the president and Mrs. Harding The
crowd knew that Mrs. Harding had
iust recovered from dreadful ILL
ness. Its first silence indicated that
it desired to be generous and courte-
GUS and merciful. But The Post was
not quick enough in introducing an
other face. And, finally, the raucous
voice again demanded: "Take him
away"
Then Wilson again with soul stir
ring applause! H. w. r.

South's Leadership
? In Sanitation

Norfolk has wonderful new mar
ket house. In design, equipment, con.
Ncniences and health-conserving inno-
vations. it would seem that this build
ing leaves nothing to which modern
sanitary science could add. A great
credit to the important Virginia city
in which it is located, it is also an
example to cities elsewhere, in the
country generally as we'll as in the
South. It Is another demonstration,
furthermore, of the fact not univer-
sally recognized that in many mat
ters Of sanitation the South is now

United States and therefore in the
world.
The records show that not only
through Southern initiative was the
yellow fever terror banished from the
South and practically from the world,
hut nowhere We're sterner and more
effective measures taken to prevent
the bubonic or black plague from get
ting a foothold in America In whole
cities, such as New Orleans, Mobile
and other seaports, every building
was made absolutely rat proof, so
that nowhere could the plague car
riers find lodgment, even should they
break through the shipside precau-
tions against their debarkstion.
The individual drinking cup and
the anti-fiy crusade, now Of universal
adoption, originated in the South.

HARRISONs NOW
OUT OF STUPOR

Ira Harrison, one of the convictet
murderers Of John c. Annette, wht
has been in n seeming stupor sine.
he learned that the supreme cour,
had refused to grant him new trial
yesterday shortly after noon came out
cf his stupor and talked freely with
his mother, according to prison au-
thorities.
Harrison had not said word from
the time he learned of the action of
the supreme court until yesterday
about o'clock when his mother went
to the penitentiary hospital to sec
him. At the sight of his mother Har.
rison seemed to "recover Immediate
~" prison officials said. He embraced
her and told her how glad he was
to see her, they said.
Peniteutiary authorities said Har-
rison apparently was as well yester-
day afternoon as he had ever been,
having come out of his state of coma.
The prison officers have thought all
along that Harrison's stupor was
feigned.
In addition to not talking Harrison
was fed as if he were baby, being
unable to eat or refusing to do 50
when it was placed in his mouth.
however, his body functions never
ceased and his reactions to certain
tests showed, according to officials,
that the muscles were working nor
rally.
Mrs. Harrison told Captain Robert
that her son talked freely and was ap-
parently delighted to see her. Captain
koberts said last night that no physi
cian had seen Harrison since he came
out of his stupor.

state supreme court for an order to
stay the remittitur in the case and
this was granted. Justice Cothrar
