For the Christ Child.

Tag days and flower days and the like may

Saturday is to be dedicated to :. the Christ

International Understanding.

"The members OF the Society of Friends
recognize no artificial boundaries between them
selves and other people They are interested
iE their fellow men. without regard to race,
creed or color" Thus does Wilbur X. Thomas,
executive secretary of the Quaker relief service,
explain the interest of his church in succoring
humanity wherever need arises. There is no part
of Europe where suffering is great that has not
received loving assistance from these devoted
Christians.
"For over $50 years the members OF the
religious Society Of Friends have held that Chris-
tan principles are applicable to everyday condi-.
tions," says Mr.. Thomas. Consequently they
have interested themselves in prison REFORM bet
tering the condition Of the laboring people, i'll the
elimination of vice. in the cause of temperance
the abolition Of slavery, war, etc. They have put
their money not into fine church buildings and
elaborate services, but into what may be called
Christian social work."
This is broad and fine. Old as is this faith,
the world has not yet caught up with it. The en-
during nature of its principles are symbolizcd by
the first Quaker relief worker to enter France
in 1914; he, bore on his arm the same brassard
that his father wore in similar work in the
Franco-Prussan war. Though the work Of the
Friends in healing the bodies Of the victims Of
war is splendid, yet the example OF their toler-
ant, unen,bittered and forgivng nature is even
more valuable to the world

Charity Begins at Home.

An increasing tide OF public opinion is set
ting toward the view tha, Americans owe some
thing 10 themselves as we'll as TO the rest OF the
world. Our national attitude OF altrusm is not
diminishing because OF this. bu, il is apparent
that as certain ms,s clear away and clearer

impressiveiy apparent that we have been just
little too enthusiastic about the woes and the

a writer in popular magazine. discussing
this phase Of the International question. lays
great stress on point made by The Bee last
week. that the United States affords ample and
attractive field for the investment Of capital look
ing for employment. Our railroads, all the basic
industries, need money for extensions and im-
provemen,s to bring them into line with service
requirements. We still have millions Of unem-
poyed workers in the United States, whose needs
for food and clothing, shelter and the like, are as
imperative as any in Europe. For twenty years
the consumptive demand has been gaining stead
lily on the production rate in this country, par
tcularly in the item food. 1t is now set up that
any exportable surplus Of food is due to UNDER
consumption rather than overproduction.
Undcrconsumption means that in this-land
somebody is not getting proportionate share
OF what is needed TO sustain life. That is one Of
the questions that must be answered, and which
should be answered before we commit ourselves
entirely to the worlds problems.
Our farmers and our factory workers ought
to mean as much in the economy and prosperity
Of our country as the farmers of Russia or the
factory workers Of Germany, or the people of
any nation on earth. Some way to adjust rela-
tons that are now out of plumb, to develop q
waiting home demand for home products, should
be worked out. Until all at home are made
comfortable, worry about our foreign trade, on
which too much emphasis has been placed, may
be adjourned. Charity ought to begin at home,

Is Politics a Disease?

II may we'll be inquired, at this season of the
year. whether politics is remedy or disease As
Tar as the human mind is able to penetrate the
vex and assa humanity have been or can be
cured by politicians. These are full Of promises,
and no doubt believe firmly in the efficacy of
their methods, and yet they are pretty well
empty Of performance.
Progress in America is coming through. the
development Of science, OF business and industry.
The government is going along much the same
as in the beginning. But what vast changes have
come over the life Of the people.
The absence OF great political figures such as
Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and Cleveland is fire.
quently noted today, and with some complaint
on the decay Of craftsmanship. The thought
seldom occurs that we are looking in the wrong
place. The ablcst men, and the men who are
doing the most for the advancement Of public
welfare. are in private life. Among those to
whom the people look may be mentioned Edison,
Ford, Gompers, Schwab, the younger Rookie
TELLER, and there are number of Others all build
ers, all with some aim that touches the average
human being closer than do most Of the debates
in congress OF the legislature.
1t is fairly we'll admitted that the people can
not be enriched or morally improved by legisla-
ton At each crisis the politicians are forced
to call the attention OF the people to the fact that
laws will not save them, but they must seek
their salvation by work and by means quite out
side the political arena. Politics may not be a
disease, but in many cases it must be admitted
il is only fake remedy.

The Inevitable,

Germany and Russia have both looked to the
west for recognition and help. Failing, they have
done what Senator Knox prophesied two years
agreement but they have not come into alliance.
There may be indeed military alliance between
them secretly made, but in spite of surface indi-
cations this is unlikely The Germans do not
want war and they know that the Russian ar
mics, no matter how great they may be, are not
reliable fighting units. France, anticipating an
alliance Of Russia and Germany, has driven a
wedge of bayonets between them by armng the
people of Poland-Syracuse Post-Standard.
