Prohibition and Prosperity.

Europe's present economic troubles

tary of the Board Of Temperance. Pro

financial difficulties Of Europe. DR..
Wilson insists. is to be traced to ma
tional prohibition in this country and
lack of prohibition abroad.
DR.. Wilson estimates that Great
Britain is spending not less than two
billion dollars annually for drink that
France in 1921 was spending thirteen
and "a half billion francs for drink. and
that Italy and other nations made ex-
penditures for drink proportionately
large. His argument is to the effect
that if this money was spent for
homes and shoes and coats and cars
the people would be far better off, and
Evening star., 1926-08-08

there would be a great revival of in
dustry in those countries.
Just as it has been suggested by
some of our leading politicians that
the United States must never agree
to cancel any part of Europes indebt-
edness to this country while the ma
tons abroad continue to maintain
large armies and navies, so DR.. VIII
son suggests that America should
never cancel debts or part thereof
while John Bull pours out millions to
quench his thirst or France and Italy
delight their palates with the rich
products of the vineyard.
Thinking up solutions of the Euro
pean economic problem is becoming
habit, almost a fad. But II American
business leaders are to be believed
there is truth in the statement made
by DR.. Wilson. The American manu-
facturer invariably admits that pro-
hbition has been a splendid thing for
his business and for the labor which
he employs. When Monday morning
rolls round the men are on the job.
Such was not the case when the doors
of the corner saloon swung wide
While the drive for repeal or modi-
fication of the dry laws is continuing
briskly in a number of the States,
consideration of the economic phase OF
prohibition is not amiss. A paradox
confronts Americans in this dry era.
The men and women Of supposed in
teliigence and education. of means
and ability to enjoy themselves, are
the men and women who have suf-
fered most from prohibition. They are
the chief law violators as a class. 1t
is because they have the price OF

does not have the price. or rarely has

failure to train the youth in what
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborne calls

witnessing an increasing crime wave

THINK 1T OVER
How Big Is Life.
BY Minm Mmher Le,cis.
President George Washington University

The purpose OF education is vastly
more than preparation for material
success. NO man liveth or dieth
unto himself. To serve his com
munity and his generation to hold
high the torch of culture. to
turn from the noise and heat of the
day to stimulate communion with the
great OF all time: these are things
which the truly educated does. And
1t is not easy in this tremendous age
to live such an abundant life.
We have stressed over-much the
material needs of the time in which
we live, to the neglect of the spiritual .
The world needs as never before the
trained technician and physician and
lawyer, the industrialist and the mer-
chant; but it needs something more
than these. To paraphrase a state
ment of Ralph Waldo Emerson. 1t
needs man in the laboratory. man In
the field of politics, man pleading the
cause of justice.
We need not fear that our youth
will not find work that Is engrossing
and profita BILE: the danger is that
they may become slaves of the ma
chine: that in making wage and a
reputation they will somehow lose
contact with the greatest thing in the
world-the fine art of living

THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM.

questions that lie at the very foun-

In recent meeting held in Wash

public educational institutions repeat
ed references to the need of more and
better moral training for the youth of
the land were made. While these
men and women who are charged
with the care of more than 26000. 900
of our children feel that religious
training is not specific function of
our public school system. they never
theless regard with deep concern the
lack of proper home training, and the
failure of our religious agencies to
reach the millions Of children through
out the land who are without ethical
and moral teaching. 1t was quite
clear that this splendid body of school
superintendents were fully conscious
Of the inadequacy of any form of edu-
cation that merely informs the head
and the hand. In spite of the fact
that our public school system Is not
charged with the responsibility of
training the youth in the things of
religion. it is a mighty factor in con-
tributing to the moral wellbeing Of
the vast number of children that

Is It Kitchener's Body?

If it be true. As claimed, that the
body of Lord Kitchener has been

many people in Great Britain since

Russian troops were miserably equip
ped and their lack Of arms was tell
against the allies on the Western
front. 1t was finally decided that Kit
chener should go to Russia for con-
ference and an inspection Of the CON
ditions in that country. He sailed on
the battleship Hampshire from Scapa
Flow and three hours after the start
the ship was torpedoed and sank with
nearly all on board. Whether she was
struck by floating mine or by a tor
pedo directed by submarine has
never been ascertained, though the ad.
miralty has formally declared that
a mine caused her loss. There was a
general belief that Germany had re-
ceived information of the carefully
guarded plan for kitchener's visit
to Russia and that the Hampshire
had been Waylaid. However that may
he, she was sunk. There was much
confusion in the reports of the dis
aster. Some of the survivors declared
that no boats were launched after
the explosion. Many versions of the
tragedy gained currency. Rumors
were circulated that Kitchener had
made his way to land on a raft. but
that his mind had been so affected
by his hardships that the government
had concealed his return. His sister
declared that she believed him to be
still living. BY most of the people
however, at the time and by practi

death was accepted. and a memorial
service in his honor was held in Lon
