come back. 1t could not fail. In
her heart of hearts Russia loved
right and decency, and the thought
that she was going TO surrender I'M

one.

Abharam Lincoln had within his
soul all through the War Between
the States. In the dark days Of his
struggle for the Union, there were
hours, it is true, when he told a
great many funny" stories to keep
his courage up. but down In mis-
heart, no matter how dark the hour
was, he felt that all was well.
He never lost his conviction that
the Union was going to be preserved
and that once again the discords4t
sections would be reunited under the
flag of the Fathers. He said one
day to a group of Weak Sisters:
at is right that we should win this
war. We ought to win it.. We will
win it."
FAITH is WINNER.
And just here we are reminded OF
the words that a distinguished Eng
lishwoman sent us from "Over
There" in the darkest period Of the
Great War: "Cheer up! The
American war-consciousness with its
certainty Of final victory will con-
quer the Germans"
Our boys went over there and
sprang to their work not only with
gaudi1m certaminis, the love Of bat
tie, but, with the fide feducia, the
faith and confidence: and 80 we
may understand why it was that
as they fought their way through
the terrible Argonne they never
once retreated, or while attacking
the famous Hindenburg line never
once showed their backs to the foe.
There is nothing like it-this
faith in ones cause.
Such was Catherine Breshkork-
aya's faith in Russia in 1917 when
the very foundation things seemed
to be going to pieces, and such Is
her faith today. Seven years after

"WHAr this country needs is .
good five-eent cigar." This is
a statement that has been deemed
worthy iof perpetuation in connec-
ton with memoirs Of the late
Thomas r. Marshall, former vice
president of the United States.
/ trust 1 am doing no violence
to the memory of this much beloved
"Hoosier Philosopher" by venturing
to interpolate two words in the
above sentence, for from what I
have read about him, and from
what he himself has written, it
may, 1 think. reasonably be inferred
that, were he still alive, he would
offer no objection.
A plain, simplicity-loving man of
the people, such as was he, could
scarcely have failed to notice with
regret how much more evidently
year by year is becoming, among
US Americans, a spirit of restless
ness, and a craving for things pre-
sumably beyond our means.
CONFINEMENT is NEED.
what this country needs is con-
tentment with good five-cent
cigar is the way the above proc
lamation might be amended with
out doing violence to the truth. 1t
will be observed that the character
of the cigar remains unchanged.
We are not invited to be content
with any five-cent cigar, but with
a good five-center.
Whether or not one can be pro-
duced at that price, / do not know
evidently DIR. Marshall thought it
could. and ought to bel; but.
granted its acknowledged perfec-
ton, there are a great many men
who wouldn't be content to smoke
it while higher priced cigars were
smoked by their neighbors.
Discomfort with the lesser priced
cigar is merely illustrative Of a
discomfort with all saving higher
priced surroundings. 1t must not be
assumed that / am saying aught
against ambition or effort to rise
in the world: but it is that tendency
to envy and attempt to ape those
who have already secured higher
priced possessions than ourselves
and which Of course breeds in us a
spirit Of contempt for our own
more humble belongings-that / am
sure the Hoosier-P Philosopher might
have deplored.
ENVY is CAUSE.
"And we shall be made truly wise
il we be made content" wrote
Charles Kingsley. 1t is not every
man who becomes a millionaire; <
it were, the whole system Of wage
and award would pass out of exist
ence.
Envy is, Of course, at the bot
tom of much Of the discomfort that
prevails in the world; but IL it

the rulers and the people Of Russia
