WHEN THE MOST is SAID.

WHAT'S love, when the most is said? The flash
of the lightning fleet,
Then, darkness that shrouds the soul but the
earth is firm TO my feet;
The rocks and the tides endure. the grasses and
herbs return.
The path to my foot is sure, and the sods to
my bosom yearn.
What's fame, when the truth is told? A shout
to distant hill,
The crags may echo while, but fainter, and
fainter still;
Yet forever the wind blows wide the sweetness
of all the skies,
The rain cries and the snow flies, and the storm
i'm its bosom lies.
What's life what's life. little heart? dream
when the nights are long,
Toll in the waking days,-tears, and a kiss, q
song.
What's life, what's life, little heart? To beat
and be glad of breath
While death waits either sde,-before and
behind us, Death
Mary Ainge De We're.

certain tendencies, the average American
is at peace with all the world; he can
go about his own vital affairs without
fearing that tomorrow may bring the
end of his hopes. There is no pail OF
sadness over the land. We can still
laugh. and play, and enjoy life as a

A CHECK UPON SPECULATION

One of the most persistent complaints
against the federal reserve system has
been that it results in concentration Of
money in New York. so that speculation
there is encouraged and Legitimate
business" in other parts of the country
is denied opportunities to which Il is
entitled. 1t is interesting. therefore
when financial analyst says, as one
recently did, that activities on the New
York Stock Exchange are not nearly
such an accurate gauge of general bust
ness conditions throughout the country
as they used to be, and that this change
is due partly to the workings OF the
federal reserve system.
Now that this change has been point
ed out almost any intelligent observer
should be able to recognize it. Stocks
and other securities have been fluctuat-
ing no little during the last few years,
but many of these movements have been
obviously out of gear with business ac-
Invites which used to be affected by
operations in "the Street" Or it might
be more nearly accurate. HISTORICALLY, to
say that the relationship between the
gears" has been reversed.
In earlier times many business and in
dustrial enterprises took their cues from
the ticker. If the "bears" happened to
be dominant on a given day, Legitimate
business" put on the brakes; and when
the bulls" took possession of the mar
ket, Legitimate business" was disposed
to open the throttle wide.
But now, it appears, the SPECTATORS
wait to hear from the sources of supply,
and listen for the voice of demand, be-
fore they begin the days operations in
imaginary commodities. tits not so easy
as it used to be to manipulate securities
upward or downward without regard for
vital realities. OF course there is no law
against an operators trying to force the
market by the sheer momentum of a
buying or selling campaign-no law save
that of his own peril. This is not to
say that the spectators can no longer
depress or initiate trade values by artifi-
cial means, but that such manipulations
are not so easily achieved as they used
to be.
One factor in this change, perhaps
the most potent one, is the wider distri-
button of ready money. Whereas for
merly the country's surplus cash was con-
centrated in New York, and was avail
able in almost unlimited amounts to the
stock gamblers, large proportion of it
is now held in the reserve banks
throughout the country for the use of
Legitimate business" at the sources of
production. That is as it should be
and so is the new, reversed relationship
between the country as whole and the
center of speculation.

MONKEYING WITH THE BIBLE.

The title is not irreverent. 1t is a
statement of fact and a protest. DR..
Edgar ]. Goodspeed of the University
Of Chicago is adding another modern
version of the New Testament. There
is the Twentieth Century, the Moi
fatt, the Weymouth, the Ballantine,
and now there is to be the Goodspeed
translation.
The King James version contains
the rarest beauty of the English
language. Tampering with it is chip
ping a cathedral. For centuries gener-
atoms of people speaking the English
language and worshiping in Protest
ant churches have been raised upon
its texts. 1t was expounded to them
in childhood before they could appre-
ciate the beauty which was joined to
religion.
They have not stumbled their way
through it. They have not been per-
picked by the words the translators
used even where words and phrases
have lost currency in the modern
language. Thousands of people who
read very little read this book. 1t has
been what it was intended to be, a
guide and consolation and inspira
lion.
1t is a perfect version. and tamper.
ing with it not only spoils the beauty
but creates confusion in text. II
makes rents in the fabric. 1t is sub
stituting a needless utilitarianism In
the place Of needed beauty. 1t is an
offense to esthetics and against
people who need stimulation of
esthetics. 1t is substituting a>sigr-
board for a work of mural art. 1t is
tearing down temple to build ware
house. 1t is worse than putting
Shakespeare into the modern English
of the streets.
Particularly a democracy should
cherish it's heritage of beauty as prec'-
Gus and not to be snllied.-Chicago

A FORTUNATE COUNTRY

Perhaps never before in the history
of the United States, with the possible
exception of the period Immediately fol-
lowing the revolution and the estab-
lishment of the republic, have Ameri-
cans complained so much about "condi-
tons" in this country as they are doing
now. There's something wrong with
this institution and that; politics is a
mess; government is overstepping its
proper bounds here and there; old ideals
are Knocked at, in effect, although every
body processes to cherish them; intol-
erance raises its ugly head in various
places; opportunities for the pursuit of
happiness are not what they used to be
the individual is denied liberties that he
claims as part of his birthright; and
so on.
Yet Americans have less warrant for
complaining than do the people of any
other country on earth. If all things
and conditions are relative-and certain
ly perfection is not attainable for mortal
man-then by comparing their lot with
that of any other people of the present
day Americans might we'll come to the
conclusion that Providence has been
wonderfully kind to them.
Consider the plight of other peoples
Life in Russia a red nightmare. Ger
many disrupted politically, government
tally, socially, economically, and her peo-
pie facing the future with black de-
spair. France afflicted with a brain
storm which is causing her to practice
a philosophy scarcely less destructive
than that which impelled the German
hotdes to seek world dominion a few
years ago. England overwhelmed with
taxation, and a million of her able
bodied men vainly looking for some
means OF earning a livelihood. Spain
in the throes OF civil strife.
Not only the countries of Western
Europe, but those farther cast as well
are in a ferment of discomfort. Italy
and Greece aflame with hatred. Jugo

CORN ON THE COB AND - A

of Wales, or Lord Renfrew as he pre-
fcrs to be known on his tour, TO that
peculiarly American epicurean delight.
| corn on the coo. And the Prince fed
himself to fullness, taking his new
food friend to his close embrace,
swearing fealty to him through all the
years he may be spared to develop
the friendship and enjoy his new
found pleasure. Faithful scribes report
he disposed of several ears in regular
farm fashion. That means, both in
Canada and the United States. he had
no metal holders to be placed in the
ends of the cob by which to hold it,
but after the ear had been we'll COW
cred with fresh butter, with proper
application of salt and pepper, he
seized it with his hands, brought it in
close proximity to his mouth, and de-
spite the smear of butter that might
be found on his cheeks or on his nose,
ate the corn, getting all the good
ness generous nature had stored in the
unripe grains, ready as a good cook
knows how to make it when lusty
men are coming to the table. Being a
iusts sOuhS mall lONcE VI lut biS
outdoors, active and interested in the
work on his ranch, he was in the mood
to relish each grain. OF course he
lilded it, and of course he asked for
another helping.
Corn, as food for man, is not in use
in the countries of the old world. In
France, American soldiers, joyful
when feed of corn was ready, heard
the French express surprise, but being
curious and willing to take a chance,
soon learned the offering was just
what they wanted. French soldiers
and others learned slowly, but corn
meal has been introduced successfully
among the people there now. They are
eating johnnycake and corn fritters, so
it is but question of time, until
green corn will be a popular article
for the French table And the fact that
the Prince of Wales found corn on
the cob real delight will awaken
some interest in it among the people
on the tight little island. If he likes
it he will have it in the future and
corn on the cob wins all corners once
they get taste and know its charm.

street fairs, or answering the need
for harvest hands. The ashes of the
last camp fire were at least three
weeks cold.
Nevertheless, as proper measure
of precaution, he secuted through
the entire patch of woods, and as the
light grew stronger climbed a tree
to reconnoiter the surrounding coun-
try.
He slid down from the tree, and
after hiding his motorcycle carefully
under a pile of brush. laid down in a
sandy hollow and pulling his hat over
his eyes, prepared to sleep.
When he awoke several hours
later, the sun was warm on him, and
he lay luxuriously for a while listen
ing to the varied and various wood
sounds, all long familiar to him. FL
nally he rolled over and pulled out
his watch. 1t was almost IL o'clock.
He ate from his package of sand
witches, uncorked the thermos bottle;
then rising. swung himself up with
a good deal of agility into the tree
under which he had been sitting.
The hours passed on. The sun had
crossed the zenith and declined to-
ward the west. Charlie in his leafy
retreat disposed of his remaining
sandwiches and what was left of the
coffee in his thermos bottle.
The rest of the time he put in at
timing automobiles.
At half-past 3. Rangers big tour

ton of town. Through the glasses
Charlie could recognize the figure of
the manufacturer himself in the
drivers seat. He was quite alone:

Yet his complacency did not Keep

pace of the car rs it swept along
over the marked course.
AS it happened there was nothing
else in sight when Ranger reached the
cut and he drove straight ahead.
AT the rate he's travelling. he
ought to be out in one minute and
seventeen seconds" Charlie calculated.
"We'Il get line now on just how
long it takes to pull out that stone
and put it back again"
But it was almost five minutes be-

"He'd be careful and little SLOW"
Charlie reflected $50 that's no fair

than two minutes was pretty safe

A LAW-MAKING WINE-MAKER

Painful embarrassment in the ranks OF
the "dry" forces, evidenced by what APP
pears to be an all-pervading silence, has
been caused by member of Congress
who is daring prohibition officers to ar
rcst him for making wine in his own eel
lar. His name is John Phillip Hill. and
his home is in Maryland, where grapes
are plentiful and luscious.
Representative Hill launched his enter
prise at a propitious moment for his
purposes-just prior to the Presidents
conference with the governors. Appar-
emily he is playing for effect, and well
he might, because "the law" is not the
definite, impersonal thug it used to be,
and what passes for "the law" is large
ly what the fanatics can get by with"
The Gentleman from Maryland set
out to make test, or several of them.
Particularly DESTROYS was he of ascertain
ing whether, in this land of the free, "the
law" seriously purposes to deal with diff
ferent classes in opposite ways. He had
observed, he said, that a newspaper and
a merchant in Maine were indicted
merely for advertising home-brew mate
rials, while farmers generally known to
be making hard cider were not molested.
Moreover, "the law" didn't seem to be
at all clear in its own mind, so to speak.
as to whether the making of liquor at
home for home consumption is really
contrary to the Eighteenth amendment
or the Volstead act. Apparently the en-
forcement agents were interpreting 'the
law" to suit themselves.
So, Congressman Hill gathered some
grapes, took them down into the coolness
of his cellar and there delivered them
into the willing arms of Nature. He was
not at all surreptitious about it. He
notified Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, first of his intentions "in the
premises" and later of his carrying out of
those intentions; moreover, he kept the
prohibition chief fully informed of the
progress of the process. Nor did he stop
with that. He button-holed a coupla
prohibition enforcement agents and re-
quested them to take samples of his
wine; they complied, and reported that
the wine was of high alcoholic content
IL per cent. to be exact.
But that was the last Congressman
Hill heard from the enforcement agents.
They didn't come back to arrest him, and
his letters to Commissioner Haynes re-
manned unanswered.
Then he bcthought himself of appeal
ing to the governors. Wouldn't they do
something about it? In his communica-
lions to them he inclosed copies of his
letters to the prohibition commissioner.
He also demanded ruling from the at
torney general; since invitations went
unhceded-or at least without response
he graduated into the "I-dcmand" class.
Still no action.
WHAT'S the answer? Possibly the gov
ernors, in their conference with the
President, will give it. Or maybe Con-
gress will relieve the embarrassing situa-
ton by resolution, or something. At any
rate, many have been called, but few
have got up enough temerity to argue
with the Maryland gentleman on his own
terms.
