WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page /,


fixed principles of law. Some SEN
ators say that international law
is a myth and are fighting the
World Court on this ground.
One of the interesting develop
ments of the week has been the
unusual interest manifested by
the farm group in the waterway
system. It illustrates the close
cooperation between Secretary
of Agriculture Jardine and Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, both
of whom are giving particular at
tention to the marketing of farm
products. Jardine apparently be-
lieves that the improvement of
inland waterways would be one
way of reducing the cost of
transportation of farm products
to the seaboard. In fact, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Jardine is
going about the country calling
attention to the need for a uni
form system of waterways for
the development of industry as
we'll as agriculture. The. adroit
Mr.. Hoover is advocating closer
cooperation between farmers and
business men in the cities and
towns.
Storekeepers and other bene-
ficiaries of the Christmas spirit
will no doubt rejoice at the up
ward trend in labor conditions.
The Department of Labor COM
pleted studies this week showing
that per capita earnings had in
creased five per cent in October,
as compared with September. No
definite or reliable figures are
given, however, to designate the
changes in living costs. The ap-
proach of the Christmas season is
further signaled by the increased
activity in the confectionery in
dustry which in one month
amounted to about ten per cent.
With all the Sensational de-
velopments in the Mitchell case
what will be the result when the
interest SINNERS down? 1t is OBJ
vious that some of the state
ments brought forth in the hear
ings will materially affect War
Department appropriations be-
cause Congress will consider it.
self obliged to discuss these is
sues because of the public inter
est involved. 1t appears that the
War Department as we'll as the
Navy will find themselves on the
defensive when congressional fire
is directed at their executives
within a few weeks.
The Mitchell case has taken
such a turn that the activities of
the House Appropriation Com
mittee and the Ways and Means
Committee having to do with our
taxes and consequently pocket
book, are not nearly so important
to the reading public as hereto
fore. The Administration hopes
to put through non-partisan tax
bill as a Christmas present but
they are apparently too opti-
mistic. With the campaign sea-
son at hand within a few months
it would be folly for the minority
to allow a rival political party to
capitalize on this subeject which
holds more interest to the public
than any other.

Rooseuelf's idea of Man

1t is not the critic who counts, nor
the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles. or where the doer of
deeds could have done better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actu-
ally in the arena; whose face is married
by dust and sweat; who strives valiant
ly; who errs and may fail again and
again, because there is no effort with
out error and shortening, but who
does actually strive to do the deeds !;
who does know the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion; who spends him
self in a worthy cause, who, at the
best, knows in the end the triumph
of high achievement and who at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly so that his place shall
never be with those cold and tlmld
souls who know neither victory nor
defeat.-Theodore Roosevelt.

Persian Rug Classed
as Work of Real Art

A truly unique piece Of oriental
work is Persia's wonderful Corona
ton" rug. 1t embraces a pictorial rec
ord of Persia's rulers from times ante
dating the Christian era to the time
of the World war. Work upon the
rug was started in 1906 and went on
until it was completed. 1t was to have
gloritied the browning of the sultan
Ahmed Mira, on the occasion of his
expected ascension to the throne OF
Persia, but was diverted myster1ously
to New York. Moving like the en-
chanted carpet, it was spirited 5000
miles to that modern Bagdad. The
rug is a multicolored one, is l6 feet
long by II feet wide, and was specially
woven during the period of II years,
being the handiwork of the p most
famous rug makers then living in
Persia. With remarkable fidelity to
features and absolute verify to cos
tune of the time of each individual
depicted, this rug represents the por-
trait of 100 of Persia'S great kings,
or shahs and is otherwise highly dec
grated. There are LOCO knots to each
square inch, or about 2530O,00O knots
tied to the linen warp threads to pro-
duce the wool nap that forms the vel
vety body and creates the portrait and
decorative features.

Put Naturalist DoUn
as "Poor Innocent

The patient devotion Of the nat
uralist to observations that seem to
the ignorant onloOker trifling and
meaningless often creates In the minds
Of those onlookers reasonable doubt
of the scientific mans sanity. In the
Human Side Of Fabre," by Mr.. P. F.
Bicknell, there is an amusing incident
In point that the great French natural
list was himself fond Of relating.
Ever since daybreak, he says, l had
been sitting in watchful waiting on
stone at the bottom of ravine. The
digger wasp Of Languedoc was the
subject Of my mornings study. Three
women, grape-pickerS, passed me on
| their way to the vineyards. CHANGING
at the man sitting there apparently
| lost in thought, they gave him po-
lite good morning, which he as polite
| ly returned. At sunset the same three
grape pickers passed again on their
! homeward way with their heaped-up
baskets on their heads. The man was
still there, sitting on the same stone;
his eyes were turned upon the same
spot.
My immobile attitude and my long
continued station on the one spot all
alone must have struck them as some
thing extraordinary. AS they passed
me | saw one of them touch her fore
head with her finger, and l heard per
whisper to the others in their patois:
"a poor innocent. Oh, poor man y
Then they all three crossed them
selves.
An innocent she had called me, an
innocent-that is, an idiot, a poor
devil, harmless but bereft Of his rea-
son-and they had all three made the
sign of the cross, for in their eyes an
idiot was marked with the seal OF
God.-Youth's Companion.

THAT GOOD OLD GOLDEN RULE
(By NJ. j. Marsh.)

THAT GOOD OLD GOLDEN RULE.
(By NJ. j. Marsh,)
You may not be so pious,
You may not lean that way;
You may not side with any cult
Nor care what people say.
But you'll demand success, of course,
You know that you're no fool
And that is why you've got to use
That Good Old Golden Rule.
1t may sound real old-fashioned
Like copy sermon stuff
A harp on Bible passages,
But get this straight-no bluff:
IT WORKS. No matter what your job,
This one unfailing tool
None can surpass in usefulness,
This Good Old Golden Rule
You may think it is preachy,
1t isn't, it is true;
It's one right-acting motto
That works for me and you.
It's practical-it's not just talk,
Not goody- goody drool;
1t brings results like nothing else
This Good Old Golden Rule
You may be plumb discouraged,
Your castle building drear;
While nothing goes the way it should
With ev'rything to fear.
But that's because you're working
Without the needed tool
Put on smile and then apply
That Good Old Golden Rule.

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. Is. FRIENDS.
The day has come when the NJ. B..
column must be filled for another
week. With two newly-sharpened
lead pencils in my right hand, and a
tablet in my left, l wandered
around from room to room, glancing
over the titles of books, opening
some of them, hoping to find sub
ject on which to concentrate my
mind, or from which to gather some
muse didn't work. Instead "Evolu
ton" in large letters, presented it
self, and to be sure that my personal
definition of the word as "develop-
ment," was correct, | turned to the
dictionary to find it confirmed.
| doubt not many of you are
a-weary Of this controversy which
appropriates the head lines in most
if not ALL of the daily papers. Per-
haps | should apologize for introduce
ing the word into our column. If my
memory is good, we were taught
some fifty years ago that if we added
1904 B. C. to the present A. D.,
whatever the year, I'VE would have
the age of the world. Am l right?
Now, every few months we are in
formed that the earth or world is
somewhere in the hundred-thousand
year class, with still increasing age,
as scientific research reveals another
kind of strata. Why not take pride
in this information, which might
set our monkey ancestors back so
many centuries that we could afford
to forget them?
l don't know why Salem Witch
craft" keeps coming to my mind in
connection with this evolution ex-
element. There are no parallel con-
ditions in the two cases, but I think
like the former, This, too, will pass
away"
