Crises.

THE mans life is judged by its
crises. 1t is the crisis that
i makes his success or causes
his failure.
All of his long years are really
spent getting ready for his crisis.
In plain English this means that
a mans success is reckoned by what
he does in a very brief section of
his time; his work stands or falls by
a fortunate or a disastrous hour.
For instance, in the October issue
of the Yale Review Frederick f.
Pierce gives some striking examples.
Coleridge, he says, lived sixty-two
years, yet his poetic reputation rests
upon the achievements of a single
year. If he had been sick for a GER
tain few months of his long life,
CristObel" or 1.-The Rhine of the
Ancient Mariner" would never have
been written.
Wordsworth died at the age of
eighty, but his best poetry was
written in the space of ten years of
his long life.
If Milton had remained Latin
Secretary in Cromwell's Govern
ment, Paradise Lost" would never
have been composed.
The Canterbury Tales are the
work of two years of leisure in
Chaucer's life.
SO great military campaigns
often tIIrn upon the issue of a single
battle, or upon some slight mistake
or happy decision of general.
We speak of a man s career, but
the career of every man is really
but a great Getting Ready. and his
power at the supreme critical mo-
ment depends upon the cumulative
preparedness behind it.

The Pyramid.

4 LII great characters are like
"a pyramids, with only the peak
1 4 sticking above the ground.
You have to excavate to discover
their real substance.
Or they are like islands in the
ocean, such as the Azores, which are
really but the tops of submerged
mountains.
Or they are like icebergs, of which
the part we see above the surface
of the water is only one-eighth of
the entire bulk.
This should moderate our judg-
ment of men, and remind us that
only God, Who sees them in their
wholeness, is qualified to estimate
them accurately.
This also holds true of the ordi-
nary people of our acquaintance.
All We see and know of most of
them is the revealed peak.

i lean merchant marine also op-
pose Government ownership and
operation of ships in peace time, yet
say they want our flag on the seas.
By what plan can our flag be
restored to the seas if Uncle Sam is
not to do the job himself or encour-
age private enterprise to do itr
Wo have waited long for private
eAseerprises to accomplish the pur-
pose unaided and we have waited in
vain.
We waited in vain before the
world war, when world business con-
ditions were normal.
There is far more reason to expect
that we shall wait in vain now that
world exchanges are disordered and
every harbor filled with ships that
cannot get cargo.
Listening to objectors has got us
nowhere in this matter. If we really
want what we say we want; if we
really want American goods carried
for large part in American bottoms
and Americas commercial future
freed of the peril of paralysis
through dependence on foreign ships
which another war might sweep off
the seas, We should be willing to
take some chance; either with our
own money directly or By subsidy
until operating costs are at least
equalized.
We understand that to be the
protective theory and the Hearst
newspapers believe in such protec-
tive theory.
In urging subsidy President Hard
ing is simply urging protection,
which the majority of Americans
have repeatedly indorsed.
Until those who oppose subsidy
propose better plan their outcry
will deserve neither Endorsement nor
sympathy.

Quota Ban on
immigration

A REPUTABLE merchant and
~ his wife in Morocco, both
IA well-to-do, wish to travel in
South America. They come to New
York, intending to see its sights
before trans-shipping, and are de-
ported because the years immigra-
tion quota for Morocco has been
exhausted.
The same law forces homeward a
reputable Czech, because his wife, a
Spaniard, is on the outside Of the
quota for Spain.
Isolated instances, true; but,
alas typical.
The percentage basis of limitation
upon immigration never had justifi-
cation in principle. At best it is a
clumsy expedient.
Entrance tests based on health,
solvency and character are conced-
edly necessary and afford no just
ground for objection.
But to inflict the humiliation of
deportation upon wholly worthy
persons. whose presence would 9th
erwise be entirely welcome, simply
because a certain number of their
compatriots had beat them to Amer
lea, seems cruel as well as a fool
ish policy.
If another nation should apply
such policy to us, we should feel
aggrieved and rightly indignant.
The good old rule of inward
swinging doors for all worthy
comers did much to make our
America great.
If we so lack confidence in our
own assimilative powers that we
cannot summon courage to return
to it, we might at least seek a more
logical basis of exclusion than the
quota basis.

Making HeadUay

IF a man should buy a hammer,
approach another man and smash
j the other mans skull, probably
no jury would hesitate to return a
first degree murder verdict.
The woman who hammered fatally
the head of a woman rival was fav-
ored to the extent of a verdict in
the second degree. She thus escapes
the death penalty and is eligible to
pardon.
But this is gain. Had sne crush
ed the head of man, the chances
are she would have been acquitted.
Equality before the law is wise
ideal. The approach to it is gradual.

Municipal Ownership

ship of public utilities is
1 growing steadily.
1t has inconceivable obstacles to
surmOunt and enemies to overcome,
but it is based upon truth, and
truth never gets tired and quits.
1t is being worked out on small
scale in various parts of the world
and preparing the mind of the peo-
pie for the time when it shall be
worked out over the whole nation.
Detroit, for instance, has the
largest municipality owned and op-
Grated street-car system in the
world, according to Mayor Couzens.
In an interview Mr.. B. C. Forbes
declared that the Mayor stated that
his job of managing the street-ca
system and making it efficient is
being made difficult by the bitter
opposition and the numerous OBJ
stacles raised by the business men
of the city. But" the Mayor
added with a smile, 1.-THE people
have backed me up right and left,
and the city has won every suit
brought up in the courts"
The experiment in Detroit, one
Of the most progressive and vigor-
Gus cities of the world, is being fol-
lowed with keen interest by poll
ticians, business men and econo-
mists throughout the country and
the world.
After all, the test of municipal
ownership is the same as the test
for anything else: Will it work
And to find out if it will work it
must be given fair trial; indeed,
many fair trials.

Something to Think About
NAMBY-PAMBIES.
BY Bruno Lessing-

THE namby-pambies are
busy these days. They
go about in various guises.
such as preachers, pacifists
and publicists and tell you
to be sweet and gentle, not
to hate anyone or anything.
not to be rough and. in all
your dealings with mankind,
to wear rubber heels and soft
gloves.
It's bunk. Just pure bunk.
The fact that they do not
know they are stagnating in
the back-wash Of the current
Of civilization does not free
them from blame. They do
mischief.
The Washington herald., 1922-11-25

THEY use as their back
ground the Biblical in
junction to turn the other
cheek to the smiter. And
they prove thereby that they
do not grasp the spirit of the
Bible. This injunction is
purely metaphorical and has
nothing whatever to do with
recording a fact. II you want
a Biblical record Of fact, here
is one:
And when He had made a
scourge OF small cords. He
drove them all out Of the
temple, and the sheep and the
oxen, and poured out the ex-
changers money and over
threw the tables"
A fact. And action. And
no turning the cheek Of pu-
sillanimous peace conference.
HATRED is a healthy in-
H stinct implanted by ma
ture in the human soul. Like
every other instinct, of course.
1t should be controlled and
kept within bounds. But
there are times when it
should overstep its bounds
and loudly proclaim itself.

esty, chicanery, oppression

WAYSIDE WISDOM
The Wonder Who Discovered Himself.
Copyright. 1922.
BY S. E. Kiser-

The Wonder Who Discovered Himsel
ONCE there was bright young man
~ Who had failed to get ahead;
He had planned as wise men plan,
He was earnest and well-bred;
Others, knowing less than he,
Won where he had failed to win;
People couldn't seem to see
Where his worthiness came in.
DEING modest and refined,
II His remarks were never loud;
He was not at all inclined
To be grasping or to crowd;
Men with little learning passed
Boldly onward to success;
AS failure he was classed,
And he worried, more or less.
DEING blessed with brains. he thought
- And began to change his ways,
First by telling people what
He had done to merit praise;
Then he took to wearing things
That caused men to stop and stare;
Steeled against sarcastic filings,
He ceased combing his long hair.
81 KNOW all there is to know,
L l am great and am good!"
Thus he spake to high and low,
Making all the noise he could.
People doubted for time,
Then their doubts began to die,
And at length they saw him climb
TO a station that was high.

L If so, say it with shout,
For You've got to be the one
Who is first to find it out.
