THE WORLD DO MOVE

The Majestic, crossing the Atlantic in
days and 16 hours, causes quite a little
excitement. Yet speed has been in
creased very little on the ocean in the
last 80 years.
From seven days to six, to five and a
fraction, the gains are steady, but con-
sidering the progress made in other direc-
tons, the percentage of gain is low. Com
fort, luxury, safety, continuous touch
with both shores by wireless, these have
been increased to a high degree. But
apparently those who wish to cut the
speed of ocean transit in two. or three.
with the possibility at any time of get
/ ting from New York to Liverpool in two
/ days, from Tacoma to Yokohama in
/ three or four, must look to the air for
/ the accomplishment of their desires.
/ Air traffic is in its infancy as yet. 1t
| is quite likely that the fatalities among
its pioneers are no greater than took
place among the first navigators of dug
out canoes. 1t is a long way from the
| dug-out canoe to the Majestic, and it is
a long way from the most advanced of
the air liners now flying daily between
England and France and the ocean flyers
of 80 years from now.
There never in all the worlds his
tory was a mere interesting and breath
less time to live in-not the period of
Leonardo da Vinci and Savonarola-not
the period of Shakespeare and Elizabeth
not that of julius Caesar, or Perciles,
not the most crowded periods of Egypt
or Assyria or Chaldea-or even that of
Noah and the Ark. In Noah's day, for
example, admission tickets to the show
were limited quite too strictly Today
with newspapers and radio, we can all
be in the fun.

entering the educational field he spent
some years in the Baptist ministry, fill

A TRUCE IN EUROPE.

Europe, as represented at Genoa.
agreed 20 one thing. at any rate, besides
/ its adjournment to The Hague The ma
lions pledged themselves unanimously to
a period of nOn-aggression against each
other. The period is rather absurdly
short-only eight months instead of the
tenor fifteen years that Lloyd George
wanted-but that is better than nothing,
and a good start toward something
worth while.
1t strikes many Americans with sur
prise that it should be thought necessary
to declare such a truce. The nations
have not been fighting lately. The scat
tered fires left by the big war seemed
to be dying out But talk of war has
not died out; and armies, the instru-
ments and also the provokers of war,
have not disbanded. With the failure
to accomplish anything at Genoa in the
way of constructive cooperation, it is
well to have this short respite guaran-
teed, before any possible lunging of the
nations at each others Threats again.
The eight months are for conference,
at The Hague and possibly elsewhere.
There would hardly have been any war
in 1914 if the nations had taken eight
months to talk over the situation. Now
it is not so much question of stopping
a war already prepared but of removing
oauses-largely eeonomic-which might
conceivably lead to war.
This summer is going to be a crucial
period for Europe, and indirectly for
America. 1t will determine whether the
Old World is going to profit from the
big war and go forward with wise re-
construction or is going to slip back
ward toward destruction. May the truce
be used WISELY

committee, the governor urges that a
general manager of the states business
affairs be employed. In advocating this
! innovation he expresses the opinion that,
while it costs $5,000,000 a year to con-
duct the business of the state, under the
present system that business is con-
Quoted with an efficiency only so per
cent as great as that attained in the
management of great private enter
priSes
He believes that if affairs were placed
under the direction of an efficient man
ager the state would be the gamer even
if it paid to such manager a salary four
times as large as that of the president
OF the United States. The governor
does not, of course, seriously propose
the payment of such a large salary. but
the suggestion emphasizes his conception
of the economic waste under the exist
ing order.
The proposition is sufficiently origi-
nal to have stirred up a lively interest
in the state, and, although it is not at
all likely that it will be adopted, it may
serve to draw attention to the loss of
efficiency that is apparently inevitable
under the system of popular government
| that makes for frequent changes in per-
sonnet of the executive departments of a
state. Governor Hardness believes that
suOuiu Be appointed IOr a
term of not less than six years, thus Civ
ing the state the benefit of Continuing
organization having the finest personnel
and the finest purpose not handicapped
in the least by any political considera-
ton
This vision of an ideal situation in
the conduct of a states business suggests
at once the doubt whether it would be
possible under any method of selection
to insure a personnel mot handicapped
in the last by any political considera-
| tons"
But there are other objections, appar-
emily insuperable, to the carrying out of
the governors proposal. There is the
practical certainty of conflict between
the administration of the managers of
fee and that of the various departments
in charge of specific activities of the
state government The great obstacle,
however-the consideration that is al
most certain to put an early quietus on
the movement for this drastic change-is
the constitutional mandate placing on
the governor the duty of seeing that the
affairs of the state are properly admin
istered. 1t is doubtful if turning over
the business affairs to the direction of an
appointed manager would be construed
by the courts as full performance of the
duties of the governor as prescribed in
the state constitution.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The biggest
year of Bible circulation since the high
levels of the war period is reported by the
American Bible society in the annual re-
port just issued. This report says:
1.-THE total number of volumes cir
culated during the year was 1855, 464,
which is more than 100000 in excess of
the distribution of the preceding year.
The largest increase is shown in China.
where 1892. 80 were circulated. From
Japan. the Near East, and all of Latin
America, there has come an increased
demand so great that the society has
been unable to meet it,"

MEMORIAL DAY.

Once more we decorate the graves of
soldiers and fly our flags to show that we
have not forgotten their sacrifice. Pes
at in such services. They can say that
we do not truly appreciate the lesson of
those graves and that the world is ready
at any time to precipitate more wars and
demand more sacrifices for causes less
worthy than those of the past. 1t does
seem on the surface as if these things
were true.
Nations which should know better
bubble over selfish interests, too suspi-
cious of each other to lay the foundations
of true friendship and cooperation. The
living veterans of the World war,
whether with full justice or not, still feel
themselves wronged because their needs
have been treated as political issues
rather than human problems.
In spite of these things. however, Me-
mortal day remains significant and
worthy of dignifed and sincere celebra-
ton. The Civil war dead. in whose mem
DRY Decoration day was first established,
did not die in vain. although it required
many years of sufferings to wipe out the
bitterness of sectional feeling The men
and women who gave their lives in
Europe did not do 50 in vain. Memorial
day merely serves to remind us what we
owe them and emphasizes the fact that
the living cannot escape responsibility
for the ultimate achievement of interna-
tiOual Dpace and good will
