7 Asst weeks most startling news

Chinese bandits wrecked an express
train en- route from Shanghai to Pek
ing and kidnapped large number OF
passengers. including IA Americans
and several Englishmen. Most Of the
women In the party were released
after being roughly treated, and some
men escaped. but the rest were car
ried OF and $1.000.OOO ransom was
demanded by the outlaws. The Amer
lean and British state departments got
busy quickly and demanded that the
Chinese government bring about the
release Of the prisoners. Chinese
troops went In pursuit but the bandits
foiled them by placing their captlves
in the front rank during the attack.
The Picking government then ordered
the shantung province officials to pay
the ransom demanded and promised
70 pardon the bandits on release Of
their victims. At this writing It is
expected the kidnapped foreigners will
be freed within a few days.
In addition to money and pardon,
the bandits, who were led by Colonel
Chow, an old offender, demanded In

the actors were a newspaper man

staff of one of the great newspapers
Of the South, and an amiable ne'er-

John Doe.
The county jail was a great resort
for the reporters Of the town and
one quiet afternoon the reporter In
question was struck with the idea Of
manufacturing some news. John. who
was doing one of his periodical
penances, agreed to assist. For a
consideration John was to imprOvise
a rope from his bed clothing and
feign an attempt at suicide with the
understanding that his reporter friend
should arrive at the crucial moment
and cut him down.
The "story" was prepared with
careful attention to corroborative de-
tail, the type was set and the hour
Of the hanging was fixed for press
time, to keep the news" from the
rival paper.
In the afternoon John took notion,
so to speak, to read his own obituary.
A proof was given him and then the
story blew up.

the fishermen had great difficulty In
landing their catches, so weighted and
choked were the nets. Many of the

RELIGION AND ECONOMICS

In this commercially minded age the test of efficiency is
Does it pay" 1t is a viewpoint that the average person who seeks
ivlheod and somewhat more, usually a great deal more, asks
of every movement.
Two commercial and economic observers and advisers have
asked the question of religion. They say it pays. This is the
conclusion of Prof. Carver of Harvard and of Roger Babson, both
noted as students of economics. Mr.. Babson is better known to
the average person because he sells his advice. Professor Carver
is just a professor and of course, hasn't anything to sell. Pos
sibly he couldn't sell it if he had. Yet the two are in agreement
on the economic value of religion.
They both insist that religion is a mighty factor in the
cohesiveness of organized society. Mr.. Carver calls it a para
mount force"
Those economists are simply stating in the polysyIabic way
of professors and the like what the common citizen says when he
announces that he wouldn't live in a community without
churches" 1t all comes to the same thing, includes the same
foundations of belief and of assertion. Most men are SO convinced.
A man who makes business of his religion and ne who carries
religion into his business are two very different characters, how
ever. The one is honest because he is honest. The other is as
dishonest as he can be and get by. And that's a vast difference.
The one performs a duty because it is a duty. The other
trades one possible advantage for a sure advantage.
For, whatever men may say, all men believe in the great
religious principles though they may not conform to them. Re-
lGgon teaches honesty, industry, thrift, faith in ones fellows
liberaity and sincerity OF purpose. 1t realizes life. Not denom-
nations or creeds but religion in its widest sense. eff a man lives
up to the bible" he sets a straight course as a citizen. They
don't? That is not the fault of the book or of religion.
1t isn't a bad idea to discuss the economics of religion for
economic laws are natural laws, not modified or changed in their
eternal stability by social organization. Social organization to be
complete and of the highest type must adapt itself to natural
laws. They are the ladder rounds by which society rises. Nations
and peoples live or die by them. The connection between the
basic principles of religion and the natural laws, so called, is close
for after all religion is largely the fruits of experience, the better
understanding of how to live that arrives through failure anC
success. A religious civilization rests on civilized religion.
Economically a country or a people which should base it,
laws and its business and its society upon the teachings of th'
Christian religion-Or any other civilized religion for the matte
of that-and whose citizens submitted to and protected the law
so constituted would become the greatest, richest and most power
fully influential nation Of the earth. Religion and economies ar

President Harding has reached the western coast and sailed
for Alaska. His Swing around the circle" is half complete, half
of his set speeches have been delivered and already the people
of the country have an mixing verdict of President Hardings

This Swing around the circle" has spelled bad luck for
many presidents. Taft made it, and likewise made political
enemies wherever he stopped. 1t was one of the worst blunders
of Taft's administration. Wilson made the swing in 1913. in a
vain effort to "sell" the league of nations to the American people.
Their chilly reception of the mar and his pet project and ambition

But with Harding the Swing around the circle" has been
different. The president has made friends everywhere. Harding
does not possess the personal magnetism that made Roosevelt
beloved, he lacks the cold egotism, ghttering though it was, that
characterized Wilson he is just a simple, conservative intensely
human man. He is making his present trip not as a republican,
not for the purpose of forcing some issue, but as president of the
United States, desiring to be with and learn more about his
people. A friendly, lkeable sort of man, willing to listen and
take advice, interested in what he is seeking and hearing about
the west; a man whose speeches disclose more common horse
sense than glittering briliancy, more human understanding than
careful word carpentering. 80

SCHUMANN-HEINK'S BOYS

Schumann-Heink, an American woman born in Germany was
lately the guest of a gathering of American men who had been
disabled fighting Germany. She had been a American in war, a
patriotic, sincere, useful American woman. Her situation then
was one terrible to a mother. Her sons were in opposing camps.
While one fought for America another went down in a German
U boat. Her talk to those disabled boys was periodically pathetic
What did they do? Those boys rose in their places and toasted
the boy who died for the country which had once been his mothers
and had always been his own, stood while his mother left the
room, offering a tribute first to the woman who had bred sons
not afraid to die for their convictions and then to the man who
had died.
They could not have done less in honor to the woman and her
son; They could not have done more. It was the recognition of
a soldier by soldiers, of a brave and bereaved mother by the sons
of their mothers. A fine act in a fine spirit and to be commanded.
The spirit of patriotism spoke across the death swept space be-
tween the lines, the salute of fighting men to fighting man.
For wars are evanescent. Battles rage and are still. The
returning grass covers the blood stains. The ripples close above
the sunken ships and the seas resumes its immutabiity. Gener-
ations come and go. Nations rise and fall But the high purpose
and the greatness of the human soul continues, mother love and
the love of sons for mothers endures, the high respect of true
and brave men for men who were true and brave lives on I'M
touched today as it has lived in history and the hearts of men.
When the crippled boys stood to honor a woman like Schumann-
Heink and her sons who faced each other to die for an idea and an
ideal they renewed the flame on the alter of that manhood which
has Away been esteemed the highest, that which faces duty with
courage to die for its convictions.
1t in nowise excuses Germany that a lad was ready to risk
and suffer for his country. 1t simply reasserts the greatness OF
manhood and the spendor of the individual.
We may all stand to honor that woman and her sons.

Newspaper readers, particularly those who have no children,
often wonder why newspaper editors take such a keen interest
IN the building of new schools and the encouragement of educa-
ton. Sometimes. when the cost of school extension seems par
ticularly heavy, efforts are made TO have it appear as If the
local editor were unmindfnl of the public interest IN forever boost
ing for new avenues of learning. But let us lift the professional
curtain so that you may see there is usually helpful thought
behind the writing of an editorial.
The growth of population places succeeding generations at a
disadvantage. Original stores of natural wealth are being de-
pleted. They must be constantly replenished.
Carefree folks say that by the time exhaustion is IN sight
we viii have taken care of the situation some other way; that
when a new fuel is found, coal and mining won't be necessary.
And there exactly is the point. The great need of the hour is
for invention, for scientific research, for discovery, for ingenuity,
for the development of all those characteristics that can find
root only in the trained and educated mind.
Unless we invent and discover new methods of production
and distribution in excess of our consumption and destruction,
life will soon become unbearable and prices will rise to a point
where human existence will be a burden.
That is why we always boost the schools, even when they are
bard to pay for. =
