| ping Board had undertaken to get tn,
business, or even co-operated with Post
master General New in his efforts TO
ward that end. Although it may have
done so, and even though it be assumed
that the entire project from first to last
was not within its province, the appar-
ent fact remains that in the matter OF
getting foreign business for the govern
ment's ships the Shipping Board has &C
complished little. Or perhaps it would
be more nearly accurate to say the vari-
Gus Shipping Boards, as there have been
many changes in personnel.
Nor might it be entirely fair to hold
any of the groups of men constituting
the board from time to time strictly to
account for the general misadventures
chargeable against the board in the in
stitutionai sense. The changes have been
so frequent that perhaps no given group
has had time to devote its talents and
energies in businesslike way to the
major problems which make up the
shipping situation"
But to the .layman, with all his ignor-
ance of the technicalities which seem to
factor So heavily in governmental af-
fairs, the fact that it remained for Post
master General New to "get business"
for American ships cannot but indicate
anew a weakness in the entire scheme
whereby government officials had hoped
to develop for the United States the
greatest merchant marine in the world.
Finally, considerations of fairness DIG
tate also the observation that other
government agencies placed the United
States ships at telling disadvantage by
imposing upon them such prohibition
as could not but impair their capacity
for competing with foreign ships for
traffic. One might say that in
imposing this prohibition the govern
ment was only undertaking to enforce
"the law" But subsequently the gov
eminent took the heart out of its own
philosophy by permitting foreign ships
to do what the Supreme Court had ruled
no ships, regardless of their registry,
could lawfully practice.

BUT WHY GO so FAR?

A British baronet, Sir Archibald
Hamilton, according to a London dis
patch. has announced that he has en-
braced MOhammedanism. and he gives
as his chief reason the fact that Islam
is seven-day religion while, to most
people, Christianity seems to be con-
Tined to one day a week.
Truly, it takes all kinds Of people
to make up a world, and all kinds of
minds to make up the amazingly inter-
esting and puzzling intricacy called
humanity.
1t is only too true that n good many
christians bury their religion in Sun.
day Journalism; but it is also true that
that is no excuse fer anybody else do
ing it, and that it is not the fault of
Christianity any more than it would
be the fault of mathematics if a dumb
head bungled his figures.
Nobody supposes, surely, that Christ
Jesus intended his message to be
translated into something to be EN-.
balmed in formal Sunday worship"
and forgotten the rest of the week.
Everybody, surely, knows that He
intended it to be way of life-of
life more abundant-and that He in
tVhucu II ~ NC uStu HOT OILY every
day OF every week, but every minute of
every day. -
1t is this baronet's perfect right, if
he chooses to abandon Christianity
and followed Mohammed instead of
Christ. If he had chosen to follow
Confucius, or Gautama. of Vishno, or
Lao-tse, or Mumbo Jumbo, still that
would have been his right.
al L
sensible reason for his choice, not a
silly one.
For even il many Christians do fall
so far short Of the purpose of. Christ
that they put their religion into one
and their mortal lives
into another, there is no law which
forbade Sir Archibald Hamilton prac-
ticing Christianity, as it should be
practiced, in every moment and in
every activity of his life.-Duluth
Herald.

almost in triumph to the Cockpit. was

submit to the expense of going by wa

that stood between himself and desti-

And yet the unexpected was not
quite all. An alternative existed,
though very desperate one. There
was the rebellion in which Tucker had
sought fruitlessly hitherto to engage
him. The thought of it began to stir
in his detected mind, as leaden-footed
he dragged himself Onward Temple

which was making itself felt in Lon

SLIPSHOD BUSINESS"

Arrangements have been made, ac-
cording to dispatch from Washington,
whereby American vessels hereafter will
transport a "fair share" of the mail
bound from Europe to this country.
Perhaps the most significant feature of
the report does not appear in this gen.
eral statement of what has been done.
Although the making of the arrange
ments was a feat deserving to be re-
ported on the front pages of newspapers
in this country, more broadly impress
sivc feature OF the report would be rep
resented by the question, "Who per-
formed it," But here, again, the heart
of the matter is not reached. 1t may be
reached only with the negative inquiry,
WHO did not perform the feat?"
In the dispatch referred to, Postmaster
General New is given credit for the
achievement of obtaining for American
ships fair share of mail bound from
Europe TO America It may be properly
a function Of the Post Office Department
to get this class of cargo for American
ships. But from the standpoint of earn
lngs or losses it would seem that the
United States Shipping Board, created
and supposedly maintained to build up
an American merchant marine, would be
the body most directly concerned in such
enterprises. And it was not the Ship
ping Board that obtained this new bust
ness.
The report does not say that the Ship

Begin Here Today.

Colonel HOLES, soldier and adven
turer, returns to England. the Ian:
of his birth, when war is declare,
with Holland. He comes to lodge with
.dartha Quinn, wealthy hostess Of tn,
Paul's Head, in PauPs Yard, Lon
! don.
1t is dangerous for the colonel tC
secure commission in the Englisl
army because the name of Randa
Holes, father of the colonel, is on
| the warrant for the execution of the
! late king.
His grace of Albemarle, friend OF
the colone's, promises Holes com
mission but is forced to give the ap.
pointment to a friend of his grace OF
| Buckingham instead.
Martha Quinn proposes marriage to
the colonel but HOLES gefuses her Of
fer. The colonel is in despair when
Albemarle tells him that he has no
commission for him. Now go on with
the story.
"To be snatched up again by some
debt-ridden pimp who wants to escape
his creditors" said HOLES, his tone be-
traying at last some of the bitterness
fermenting in hiy soul.
Albemarle stood sorrowfully regard
ing him. This hits you hard, Randall,
l know"
The colonel recovered and forced a
laugh.
Pooh! Hard hits have mostly been
my portion"
Il know" Albemarle paced to the
window and back, his head sunk be-
tween his shoulders. Then he came to
a halt before the colonel. Keep me
informed of where you are lodged, and
look to hear from me again as soon
as may be. Be sure that l will do my
best"
The colonel's glance kindled again.
1t was a flicker of the expiring flame
of hope.
You really think that something
else will offer?"
His grace paused before answering,
and, in the pause, the sorrowful grav-
ity of his face increased.
ITO be frank with you. Randall, |
hardly dare to think it. Chances for
such as you are, as you understand,
not frequent. But the unexpect-
ed may happen sooner than we dare
W hOpN. IL II dONof NC Sult L IL lOl AOL
get you. Be sure of that"
Holes thanked him steadily, and
rose to depart, his radiance quenched,
dependency in every line of him.
Albemarle watched from under fur
rowed brows. As he reached the door
the duke detained him.
"Randal. A moment"
The colonel turned and waited
whilst slowly Albemarle approached
him. His grace was deep in thought,
and he hesitated before speaking.
You you are not urgently
in need of money, l trust?" he said
at last.
The colonel's gesture al laugh con-
veyed a shamefaced admission that
he was. -
Albemarle's eyes considered him al
moment still. Then, slowly, he drew
Il purse from his pocket. 1t was APP
parently light purse. He unfastened
it.
IF a loan will help you until ~
mo, no." cried HOLES, his pride
aroused against accepting what
amounted almost to aims.
Even so the reputation was no
more than half-hearted. But there
was no attempt from Albemarle to
combat it. He did not press the offer.

Overwhelmed, the prophet turned,

sank from roar to splitter. To
this succeeded moment of deadly
silence. Then the crowd broke, and
parted, its members departing at
speed in every direction with cries
in which horror had taken now the
place that was SO lately held by
mirth.
Colonel HOLES, finding himself
suddenly alone, and as yet very far
from understanding, what had taken
place to scatter those men and wo
men in such panic, advanced step
or two into the suddenly empted
space before the cathedral steps.

LIMITING POPULATION

Curious obstacles are invariably
thrown in the way of scientific attempts
to adjust humanity to changing world
conditions. One such was the effort in
Syracuse, New York, recently, to pro-
hibit by city ordinance the meeting of
the New York state conference of birth
control advocates. Though this measure
was vetoed by the mayor and failed to
pass over his veto in the common coun-
Gil, he accompanied his vote with a
memorandum setting forth that the
rights of free speech and free assem-
blage must be inviolate but at the same
time called attention to the penal code
OF the state, the provisions of which
were to be obeyed.
1t seems incongruous, if nothing else,
that New York state, the gateway into
this country of countless hordes of i'm
migrants, should have laws upon its
statute books that interfere in any way
with handling the problem of popula-
tons, as do the state laws in regard to
birth control. 1t is to remove these re-
strictions against the dissemination of
scientific information in clinics, particu-
larly iii the teeming and overcrowded
slums of New York City, that birth con-
troll advocates are agitating in the state.
AT present when the momentous prob
lem is before the nation, one on which
hinges the future destiny of the country,
that is, the laws to govern future immi-
grafton, it does not seem inappropriate
to consider the question of racial strains
and populations from the standpoint of
birth. Whatever may be thought about
it one way or another it is an estab-
lished fact that family limitation is
continually practiced among people
who value quality above quantity. Rath-
er than reduce the standard of living
for the whole family, these neople limit
the family to the economi" -'ironment.
This is not done among very poor
or the lower racial types } have no
standard of living, with the result that
the lower grades tend to increase while
the higher decrease. The higher types
are threatened with submersion by the
rising tides from below.
1t might be suggested that the higher
y pcs ISdoC iiIIlltlIlS llltlI IdIllllleS, Out
to do SO, would tend to reduce their !
standard of living and make the strug-
gle for existence still more exacting. On
the other hand, it would seem much |
more sensible to try to weed out poor
stock from below, attack feebleminded-
ness and degeneracy at their roots, and
give the poor female beast of burden
who is the mother OF poverty and disease
a chance to raise herself above the
morass and lift her reduced number of
children with her, too.
Years ago the Mothers Congress of
the State of Texas took up the slogan
Not more babies, but better babies"
This applied to themselves and their
class, but taken from a more compre-
hensive standpoint, one that looks to the
future of the nation, it would find ex-
preston in clinics for the dissemination
of scientific information to the masses.
This has been tried out notably in Hol- |
land, with no disastrous results to the
birthrate and with a marked improve
ment in racial stock.
