It's a Big Country

TRENCH fliers left Paris early
in the morning, flew "all
4 around France" against wind
and rain. They got back in the
evening having covered 1850 miles.
We once thought it parvelous for
train to go from New York to
Chicago in twenty hours.
You realize the bigness Of this
country when reminded that a
straight trip from New York to Chi
cago is almost as far as a trip "all
around France" That country
could be comfortably slowed away
inside the borders of Texas. A
Frenchman would say, eyes, which
proves that bigness is not every
thing" The French have a beauti-
full country and are a great ma
ton. That's a good combination.

Government OlDnerShip

IRRESPECTIVE of the Justice
or injustice of the recent rul-
i ings Of the Labor Board which
caused the present railroad strike,
it is probably good thing for
labor and a bad thing for the
status quo of capital that the main
tenance- of-way men refused to Join
the striking shopmen.>
For every step that is taken to-
ward community or governmental
participation or control of essential
public utilities is step toward gov
ernment ownership Of these utilities.
- The most advanced thinkers
among the miners and railroad
men desire government ownership.
Therefore it is logically in line for
them to support a development
like that of the Labor Board which
is related to developments leading
to greater community control.
Labor, of course, is and ought
to be keenly alive to the possibility
Of bodies like the Labor Board
being only a cloak to oppose the
growing well-being of labor, but
labor ought to be even more alive
and sympathetic to the principle
of public control, from which Ia
bor's cause has everything to gair.

IT is unfortunate that the
term THE Higher Life" has
taken on a mystic tinge. Really
1t is most practical thing. II
is within the reach OF every
one OF us and should be the
aim Of every man and woman
who is not u fool.
The Higher Life Is life Of
self reliance. One does not
look to others for his support.
his inspiration or his amusc-
ments. Primarily he looks to
himself. This is the only in.
dependence worth having.
The Higher Like means poise.
One is not buffetted about be.
tween efforts for an impossi-
bic holiness and wrechedness
over inevitable mistakes. He
has a modus vivendi.
The Higher Life absorbs
failure. Failures are unavoid-
able. They are as much a part
OF life as hands and feet. In
the Higher Life we learn 10
absorb, utilize and digest our
failures as a cat eats mice and
grows fat.

destroy his body to encourage
his soul. the man who at
tempts to deny or limit his
mind for the sake either OF
sensual OF spiritual enjoyment.
and the man who refuses to
exercise his soul for the sake
Of either animal pleasures or

three men equally are Of =

The Higher Life rejects

septic things. Hence 1t refuses
the destructive lusts and indul.

THE Higher Life is creative
l. 1t Is constantly using the
world, its men and things. as
materials out Of which to make
something better. II is not
used by them.
The Higher Life finds its
main pleasure in overcoming
and not in yielding. For in
stance. its bodily delight con-
sists in exercises and not SELF
Indulgence, it's mental entertain
ment. it's spiritual delight In
helping and not being helped.
Thus a man becomes a posi-
tive and not a negative factor
in the world.
The Higher Life is devoid
Of vengeance. 1t has no time
for grudges. 1t sees that
there Is OUT Ont iOhs

and that is doing another
: wrong to get even. 1t under
stands that only right can
swallow up wrong. only for
giveness can melt away malice
and only indifference can re-

OF worry. Worry involves un'
faith in the universe and the
cosmic laws. The Higher Life
is one Of calm faith.

Loose Cunning

IN a spirit of journalistic cam
araderie, we would like to sug-
4 gest to our versatile contrib
utor, Mr.. Bugs" Baer, the subject
of Revolver Ethics" for one of
his delightful articles.
For material. we suggest to him
newspaper headlines such as these
boy Kills Sister Playing With
Gun.
Dies of Shot Fired in Playful
scuffle."
Baby With Bullet in Her
Brain Smiles at Doctor"
He will find similar headlines in
every days newspapers. Everybody
seems to have gun. We have
preached against it and argued
against it, but seemingly without
avail.
If we are going to become a ma
ton of gun-toters, let us at least
use our weapons with little discre-
ton. The thought of a boy shoot
ing his sister, or of anyone shooting
baby, makes one shudder.
People with an uncomfortable
craving to shoot some one ought
really to try it on themselves first.
And make good job of it.

THE Higher Life is in har.

events. to opposing opinions

In all these things it is able to

In the Higher Life we de.

! 7 Helps Y
LEARN VALUE OF SHRUBBERY
Matter Has Been Too Long Neglected.
but Its Worth 10 Beginning to
Be Appreciated.

1t Is only comparatively recently In
America that We have discovered
shrubbery and how to use It. Not
many years ago people used to deal
In individual shrubs. One shrub on
each side of the gate was thought
plenty. Occasionally little clump
was set out In the middle of the lawn.
But when home makers began to ex-
pertinent with masses OF shrubs, when
they began to frame their houses In
forsythia and wigelia and spirea and
rambler roses and honeysuckle, they
found they had made transformation.
The whole appearance of the place
was changed. A house that otherwise
might be commonplace. In a proper set
ting of foliage and blossoms proved
wholly charming and lovely.
Necessarily with the shrubbery came
trees. both in the parking outside and
within the yard. Trees for back
ground. for protection from the sun
In summer, and for the delicate tracery
OF branches In winter. for the wonder
full play Of lights and shadows-trees
there must be.
Most cities have plenty Of object
lessons In the effect Of massed shrub
berry and trees. II would pay any per-
son interested in the appearance OF
his home TO wander tomorrow through
the residence districts where shrub
berry and trees are growing in profu-
sion. Just to contrast them with dis
tricts where foliage has been neg
lected.
II is wonderful how defects In archi-
lecture can he made to disappear by
the proper handling of the masses OF
green nature has put at mans dis
posal.

GET THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Together Of Organizations for

Recently quite a goOd-sized company
toured the lower half Of the eastern
shore to attend the summer meeting of
the Maryland State Horticultural So
ciety, with visitors from the Mary
land Forestry association. the Flor
lists and Gardeners club Of Balti-
more. the Peninsula Horticultural so-
ciety and the Maryland Agricultufal
society and affiliated organixatjb9e
a pretty comprehensive representation
of rural Maryland.
In Easton the local federated farm
ers, the Rotary club, the Mems Com
munIty club and other societies got
together on the program Of entertain
ment, modified the automobiles and
arranged plenty Of shelter and food.
Other towns were moved to supple
ment Easton's leadership.
The point we call attention to here
10 the evidence the trip affords to
the growth Of the inter-communlty
spirit. Rural Maryland caught 1t dur
Ing the war. and II did great good.
After the armlstlce there was lull,
but last year the farmers and the
city men got together In a meeting
held In Baltimore and the mutual
feeling was revived and set In motion.
We now see II nj work In the summer
meetings OF the farmers and their
various organizations. The value OF
Il Is indlsputable. II brings our peo-
pie into better acquaintance; II exalts
the state spirit; IL makes for happi'
ness and good fellowship. And In the
end Il leads to better methods ana
better results on the farms and In
the orchards. all Of which Is reflected
IN more prosperity in the towns.-lial-
