AN OFFICER AND A GENTLE
MAN.

Captain Edward H. Watson, U. s.
N, commander of the destroyer squad
ron that was wrecked in the Santa
Barbara channel, California, has
stated on the witness stand that he
gave the order which>swerved the de-
stroyers to the eastward as they were
speeding down the coast and sent them
upon the rocks.
1t was an error in reckoning which
might have been made by any officer.
Captain Watson differs from no other
human in the liability to err.
The prompt acknowledgment of his
error, thereby relieving other officers
from the blame, is the act of an hon.
Orable man, valiant gentleman and
gallant officer. 1t is in harmony
with the traditions of the Naval
Academy and the Savy. 1t is what
John Paul Jones would have done,
what Marlborough, Porter, Farragut
and Dewey would have done.
To admit mistake when public and
private consequences of a serious ma
ture will Invariably follow is an act
requiring greater courage than that
which faces guns in battle. When this
is done for the excusing of an innO-
cent party it is doubly praiseworthv.
Captain Watson must necessarily
suffer officially for his costly blunder.
Nevertheless, he will go to his bond
age, with the admiration of his cOun-
trymen for his manliness in unflinch-
ingly telling the truth.-Sayannah

The shirt that sent the early
apostles out of Palestine preaching
the Christian religion through the
length and breadth of the Roman en-.
lire survives. The best evidence CT
IFS yigor and persistence is the fact
that Biblical works have been cir
cuiatei over the world in 5jS Ian
cuages. no less than $50 Of these YER
sions having been added since 100:
The complete Bible NAV now be read
IN 136 tongues, the New Testament
in 100 more.
These facts were brough. out ct
tlr last meeting of the British end
Foreign Bible society. where II was
reported that seven more Transitions
had been made during the year.
Among the added languages into which
Biblical books were cast, are Lur, a
Nilotic tongue spoken by 100000 per-
sons on the western side Of the Albert
Nyanza ASH. Bantu dialect spoken
by $4,000: Kaonde, a dialect spoken
by 10000 natives of the Belgian
Congo and of Northern Rhodesia; and
the Chuan dialect of Mao, spoken
by the Chinese of Yunnan. This lat
ter is in the new phonetic script, a
sort of Chinese shorthand which is
making rapid Roadway.
Thus the Bible becomes veritable
museum, in which all the worlds
languages, some of them dialects ex-
tinct or approaching extinction, are
kept on record. Scholarship has been
the handmade of devotion in prodi-
gious service to language, literature
and life.-Cincinnati Times Star.

trample under foot are comparable to
those who do much the same thing in
a financial crisis by adding to the alarm.
Few of the things we fear. ever arc
as bad IS a distorted Imagination makes
them. Few of the misfortunes that
really overtake us in life are as serious
or as sudden and unexpected as the
mythical troubles we conjure up and
seek to escape.
Mental poise is something that too few
people possess and it is obtainable only
through calm and considered judgement.
In great crises, the men who eventually
control are those who refuse to be
swayod by sudden fears or cries of dis
tress but who calmly look the situation
over and then adopt such measures as
the times seem to warrant.
Mental unrest. such as sweeps the
world today, is but another form of hyS-
terra that is spread from individual to
across mountains and deserts
and oceans, insidious, subtle and often
unrecognized. When enough of the peo-
pie learn to use self control in critical
moments, there will be no more panics.
Hysteria is impossible where men meet
grave issues calmly.

be today without electricity? Yet it has
come only in the last half century and
it is only in the last quarter of Gen.
fury that it has been so universally en-
ployed for purposes affecting the welfare
of individuals.
The attempt to produce energy from
the atom was a forlorn hope when it
began. The scientific ramifications were
numerous and difficult. So far these
experiments have produced nothing more
tangible than better understanding of
ust how little we really know about the
nature of an atom.
Energy is the great driving power OF
the Universe. From the energy of the
human body to the energy OF nature,
there is a great hidden and unknown
power that makes life on this sphere
possible. 1t is an unknown and hidden
energy that in the springtime, suddenly
causes the flowers and leaves to shoot
forth, that sprouts the grain the farmer
plants, that sends the sap upward
through the tree trunks. That the sun
is vast storage house of energy is gen.
orally conceded and that there are GER
tain vital elements in the earth. the air
and the waters that combine with the
suns heat to produce energy is we'll
known.
But so far as analyzing these things
and reducing that energy to workable
basis, we have made little progress. IF
forts to harness the suns energy by
means of gigantic reflcctors for produc-
ing heat failed after exhaustive expert
ments. The experiments with the atom
promised possibilities beyond the power
of the mind to grasp but abandonment
of these attempts indicates that we must
pursue other line in Our search for a
cheaper and more universal energy than
that we now possess.
1t is conceivable that in the years to
come, scientific minds will evolve
power that will cost little to produce and
that will almost supplant the labor OF
man. Such force possibly will be dis
covered quite simply much as the
Wright brothers found the heavier than
air method OF flying after comparatively
research. That all about us
are mighty forces which we do not COM
prehend and which we can not control
is the best proof we have that some DAY,
we will probe their secrets and bring
them under mastery. In electricity. we
have chained the lightning of the thun-
derstorm but we have yet to learn the
use OF the waves that we call air cur
rents or the magnetic powers of the
earth we walk. Enough energy is gen.
Grated in one great storm. to last con-
siderable area OF the earth's surface for
4 wear.
Il IS researches such, as these that con-
vey to the mind how punv mankind
really IS, how great is the infinite world,
how wonderful is Gods universe and
how ignorant we really are OF the mighty
powers that surround US.

NO ATOMIC ENERGY

The head of the science college in Lon
don University announces that the ex-
haustive experiments conducted over a
period Of years by noted scientists have
failed completely to produce the long
sougnt atomic energy or power pro-
duced from the atom. The longer the
experiments continued, the more hope
less became the quest, it is stated.
That some day, a much cheaper en-
ergy than any now known will be pro-
drced is general belief among scien-
tific men. 1t may come quite by acct
dent or it may be the fruit Of a process.
Of evolution and elimination in the pro,
vince of science. That it will mean much
to the world is generally understood il
scientific circles.

car.

he muttered over his shoulder. i've

He was gone. The car in front
started and whizzed on. There was no
time for question or comment, no time
to express wonder at this strange incl
dent. Hope, had thrown the envelope
into Kelsey's lap, and was once more
driving at full speed.
The Merrick road, wide and smooth,
opened out before them, and many au-
tomobiles were on it.

Kelsey sat taut while she drove
down the highway for about d quarter
of a mile. Motors passed them, going
in both directions, but no one inter-
cepted them. Then she turned off. and
soon they were in tree-lined lane,
where the ground was rougher than
any which they had passed.
They seemed to have thrown off the
pursuit. Then the stiffness was brOk-
en- by the staccato coughing of mo-
torcycle somewhere before them.
The explosive racket drummed on
their ears. A headlight rave, yellow
through the fog. Panic seized Hope.

Before Kelsey realized her intention,
she jerked the car to the left in SO
short a turn that they made 1T on
two wheels.
He saw an open space before him.

ground. She swerved frantically to
avoid it, and they crashed into tree.

UNREASONING FEAR

The shout Of Earthquake" in
crowded market in London caused
disastrous stampede in which many peo-
pie were seriously injured. There was
no earthquake. The alarm was entire
ly groundless. The fact that the people
ran hither and Won, fighting against each
other, struggling and trampling, is due
to one OF the uneXplainable traits, of
human nature. The few cool-headed
people in the crowd were utterly unable
to halt the panic and were perforce,
compelled to battle with the others out
OF very self preservation.
Hysteria is form Of mob passion
only that it is fear instead of anger.
1t is not confined necessarily to crowds
such as that in London. 1t frequently
occurs over much wider area and for no
graver cause than the London stampede.
For instance there have been instances
of popular hysteria in several OF the larg-
er cities resulting in runs on banks that
were perfectly sound. Crowds assem-
bled at the doors and fought and wres-
tied to gain point of vantage at the
paying tellers' window to withdraw
money which in few hours they were
redepositing in the same bank after COM
mon sense had gained sway and reason
once more ruled.
Similar hysteria has caused national
financial and business panics in Amer "a
There have been occasions when the ma
ton was in prosperous condition yet
some alarm has been sounded and swept
the people off their feet. Money he
came hard to get, credits were cut dowr
and the country was in the throes o.
hard times almost over night due en-
tirely to hysteria
The politician is an adept at using thi:
well known trait to advantage. Many
campaigns have been won on hysteria
People have become swayed by thei
emotions and by fictitious campaign in

DEAD AND BURIED.

Having given up hope of a
resurrection, the Bartenders' Union is
not only dead: but actually buried. 1t
has ceased to exist even as the fabric
of vision of the future. John
Barleycorn still leads n surreptitious
sort of existence, but his minions of
the white apron and the glad hand
extended across the bar of an open
saloon have given up the ghost. What
ever else may happen, the saloon as
it has been kr -wn in the past will
never be reopened in the United
States. Not all bartenders were Civ
en- to the conduct that led to the
closing of the saloon. Some were as
worthy as any other class of citizen
and, being that, they probably have
had little difficulty in finding other
and better employment.-San Fran

TRULY AMERICAN

A few wears ago alarmists predicted
that the United States would soon go
the red route of other countries where
organized labor had asserted itself. There
were some who foresaw conditions here
like those in England-radical elements
gaining control of "labor"-and present.
ing menace to the government. Others
went so far as to express the fear that
America would be sovietized.
But such fears have proved ground
less. American organized labor has re-
manned true to the basic principles OF
democratic government. 1t had an op-
portunitv to 60 over to the reds when
the great convention OF workers was held
at Portland, Oregon. How strong Is
the conservative element among Amerl-
can workers was inpressively demon
strated when the American Federation
of Labor unseated a conmunistic agi-
tator by vote of 27,s3S TO $50. In 9TH
er words, less than five in every thou
sand members of the federation are
reds
Italy has its Fascist; there the black
shirt is the national emblem. Germany
and other nations of Central Europe
have their restless Communists, waiting
for likely opportunity to step into
power. Spain is undergoing a post
revolution readjustment. France is ruled
by spirit of revenge, inclining toward
militarism. England still has trouble
with her radical Labor Party. Greece
and Turkey are in an unsettled condi-
ton. And it was announced a few
weeks ago that the Bolsheviki Of Russia
had decided to resume their operations
to undermine the "capitalistie" govern
ments OF all other nations.
But the United States remains safe
It's great army of workers has scorned
the temptations presented by emissaries
of Trotzky and Lenin. With the Ameri
can Federation of Labor an overwhelm
ingly conservative body, voluntarily
pledged to the unfolding of this coun-
try's form of government, all alarmists
stand conclusively discredited.
America, at least, is safe for democ
facy. And "at least" does not belittlt
this country's power. 1t is the only ma
ton on earth that is able to carry or
great constructive enterprises, and ont
would repose little faith, indeed, in tn,
resolving processes of time if he did no
believe that nations which are harasseC
by radical elements will eventually adop
the philosophy of government which i
the foundation of the great edifice which
is called America.

A TEST OF GREATNESS

No sooner had he stepped upon Amer
lean soil that David Lloyd-George be-
gan to display some of the qualities
which had made him great force in his
own country. He was gracious, but not
gushing; he complimented, but he did
not flatter. He spoke the truth daring
ly, systematically. but tactfullv withal.
In all his statements he employed simple
words, but they were enriched BY easily
comprehensive allusion. In short, when
he had spoken there was no misunder-
standing his meaning; he did not give
the impression of holding something
back. Duplcity seemed to have no part
in his makeup.
But it was not until he reached Canada
that the former premier was put to a
severe test. In the United States there
had been no occasion for conflict be-
tween his wishes and those of his hosts
Il is comparatively easy for one to make
a favorable impression upon those with
whom he comes into contact when no
difference of opinion or of intention
arises between him and them. But when
he and they are at cross purposes the
task of making himself liked is difficult
indeed.
On his first morning in Montreal. Mr.
Lloyd-George awoke to find that a
strenuous program had been arranged
for him. 1t wasn't to his, liking. but
that doesn't fully explain why he
baked" A guest has no right to re-
iect arrangements made fot him by his
hosts merely because he Would prefer
some other kind of entertainment Mr..
Lloyd-George refused to 90 through with
the strenuous program because it was
sensible. and it wasn't sensible because
it would tax his strength excessively and
might produce serious consequences.
That he was not controlled by mere
likes and dislikes was demonstrated
when he readily abandoned his plan to
play golf and accepted a substitute &C
tivity suggested by his secretaries.
By refusing to go through with the
entire program that had been mapped
out Tor him he did not give offense. He
gave his reasons for rejecting it. and
they were obviously sound. He did net
hesitate to say mo- to a foolish PROPOSE
ton. He was not disingenuous.
You're trying to make a Roosevelt
out of me, but I can't stand it." he
said. Then he made his objection i'm
prc@sive by abiding to the fate of Prcsi-
dent Harding, who, it is believed, was
d victim of programs"
Mr. Lloyd-George's candor has ALWAYS
contained a winning note. There is moth.
ing autocratic about his frankncss. moth
ing arbitrary in his decisions Nearly al
ways he gives the impression of putting
all the cards on the table.
In this light Americans may more
easily understand whv the little Welsh.
man has been and still is power to be
reokoned with not only in his own coun.
try but wherever he personally may &C
or in whatever land his ideas may be
heard or read.
