1t has taken science a long, long time
to come along and put its o. K. on
what every savage and almost every
animal. even of the lowest intelligence,
has known almost since life first ap-
peared on this footstool Way back in
the colorful reign Of King Solomon
this fact was put into proverbs and pre-
cepts, and doubtless rulers the very
resting place of whose dust had been
forgotten when Solomon lived had SUBJ

Eighty students were enlisted by an
eminent psychologist out in st. Louis as

A Finer Spirit.

A Finer Spirit.
When Henry Drummond wrote his
famous book, The Greatest Thing in
the World" he maintained that the
love motive was the most dominant
that ever affects human thought and
human conduct. When we come to an
alyze the compelling forces that lie be-
hind our thought and practice. we dis
cover for ourselves the true basis OF our
character. We early determine for our
selves what is to be the purpose or
design of life and we set ourselves to
the task of accomplishing it, The mo-
tiveS that govern us determine and f1X
our methods.
The man who believes the world owes
him a living and that the end OF life
is acquisition viii be governed by self
ish motives. Everything that interferes
with the pursuit of his one quest will
be ruthlessly attacked. In his passion
for accomplishing his own ends he
will Still the promptlngS Of conscience,
refuse to obey the law of fair play, and
come to regard every one as his enemy
if he stands in his way. To such an
one every ideal of life Is subordinated
to one selfish end, namely, self-satis-
faction.
A like condition is disclosed in the
man who regards pleasure, the gratif1-
cation of his desires and passions, as
the legitimate end of being. Life has
but one meaning for him, and to ap-
pease his appetite he disregafds both
the law of God and man. The motive
of his life is qualification. He hardens
his heart to every good impulse and
Silences his soul to every high call.
The man who wrote the passage,
"The love of Christ constraineth us, "
had in his earlier career conceived OF
himself as the protagonist and guardian
of traditional religious faith that rem
dered him insular and selfish, Beyond
the pale Of his own little cult there was
no virtue. Those who differed from him

was inconsistent and wholly out OF
conSonance with what he conceived 70
be the will and purpose Of God. Ar
rested at the height of his career by
q strange experience, he sustained a
change SO radical that he reversed his
course and substituted for the motive
of hate the motive Of love.

Jealous advocate of new and better
way and with broadened sympath1es
and better understanding of his rela-
ton to his fellows he became the cham
pion of a charity that "suffereth long,
and is kind" He no longer conceived
of himself as bound by racial ties; he
became a world citizen. Breaking away
from the narrow limitations of an in
sutar fellowship he saw himself as the
brother of every man, the exponent OF
a world salvation. His was the religion
of the greater fellowship. Christianity,
il it be true to the ideals of its
Founder, cannot degenerate into an
exclusive sect or coterie. Its great mo-

obligations must be comprehensive. 1t

lyzed its endeavors.
Let us dare to believe that, in spite of
local experience to the contrary. we
have fallen upon better day, where
the love motive Is to be more conspicu-
Gus in it's expression and more evident
in human affairs.

"The Same Destination. "

P.esident-elect Hoover's arrival this
week In South American waters is
bound to rivet increasing attention upon
the dramatic international excursion
which he decided to take before assum-
ing otlce next March. Agreement
already Is universal that the journey
has begun amid most auspicious auguries.
No misstep or false note marred Mr..
Hoover's skirting of the West Coast Of
Central America. His fellow countrymen
rest assured that impending events in
South America, at least in so far as 1t
remains within the President.elect's
power to order them, will come and 60
with the same happy results.
Apropos Mr.. Hoover's presence on the
other side Of the Equator, it Is pertinent
to recall q forgotten speech delivered by
him two years ago, while he was Sec
retary of Commerce. 1t reveals that the
next President Of, the United States is
not now engaged in preaching any new
gospel Of Pan-American arnity, made
to order for his present-hour purposes.
I'VE are fellow travellers bound for the
same destination" was Mr.. Hoover's
concluding observation on the occasion
In question, after sketching the common
purposes underlying democracy in the
Western World.
"Other more centralized forms of
government" said Secretary Hoover,
have perhaps an apparent advantage
in that they can maintain continuity Of
policies over long periods OF years. They
can thereby establish and maintain
alliances. They can perhaps successfully
juggle with ententes and balances of
power. The structure of cur republics
does make for high devotion to country,
great willingness to sacrifice and there
fore sturdy strength In the direct issues
of national defense and the protection
of our citizens abroad. And these
fundamental characteristics of our
parallel institutions require simplicity
and directneSs in our relations. In them
lies the real safety of the Western
Hemisphere from imperialism within
itself"
Before the President-elect has quit
the hospitable soil of the Latins Of the
West, this creed is sure to be preached
with all the power that comes from
sincere reiteration. There are vital por-
tions Of South America-the A B C
countries of Argentina, Brazil and Chile,
for example-where the Monroe Doctrine
does not enjoy unalloyed popularity. BY
the time South America has heard the
Hoover doctrine proclaimed "in person, -
an outside world is likely to discover
that the keystone Of Western Hemi-
sphere craftsmanship is imbedded in an
arch propped firmly on every side, all
the way from the tempestuous Cape
Horn to the unfortihed Northern border
of the United States.

comprehended by that span are all

principally when Democratic admins
tration undertook TO lower the tariff
duties, or to adopt tariff for revenue
only plan, instead of the Republican
protective tariff principle. Members Of
Congress-the Republican members, at
leaSt-are inclined to feel that business
would not be disturbed by revision Of
the tariff, along Republican lines, at the
outset of the Hoover administration.
That there will be discordant notes
and strife when revision of the tariff
is undertaken goes almost without say
ing. The importing business in this
country has grown enormously, despite
the tariff wall. and the importers will
ask in some instances for a reduc-
ton of the tariff. Some of the so-called
international bankers are credited with
being opposed to high protective tariffs.
fearing that by shutting out European
products their interest abroad will be
jeopardized Despite the announcement
by Gov Alfred E. Smith, when he was
making his race for the presidency. that
the country had nothing to fear from
Democratic administration and that the
principle of protection would govern in
tariff making, there will be q clamor,
1t Is expected, from some Of the Dem
ocrats on Capitol Hill for lower duties
on many products.
Chairman Hawley apparently is op-
posed to piecemeal revision Of the
tariff. The problem should be dealt with
as whole, in his opinion. To this,
many of the Eastern members Of Con-
greSs are expected to assent. In 1921,
Just after the close of the World War,
the Republicans came into power and
Immediately put through an emergency
farm tariff act. The farmers were faced
with postwar defiation, and many of
their products had been placed on the
free list in the Underwood Simmons
tariff act of 1918. The Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff act. a general revision OF
the tariff, followed later.
If there is to be general revision Of
the tariff, the House ways and means
committee will be wise 10 begin its
hearings early. To wait until special
session shall have been convened by
Mr.. Hoover next Spring would be
merest folly The tariff hearings are
likely to run six weeks, and If there was
nothing before Congress, its members
would have to twiddle their thumbs
while the ways and means committee
was conducting hearings during all that
time.

The Tariff Program.

To revise or not to revise the tariff
is the question which Republican men,
bers Of the House ways and means
committee will be called upon to decide
tomorrow. Chairman Willis C. Hawley
Of Oregon, who succeeded Judge Green
as head Of the committee, has sent a
hurry call to his committee members
1t is his purpose to have the majority
members determine whether hearings be
begun looking to a general revision of
the Fordney-McCumber tariff act.
No one-leaSt of all, Chairman Hawley-
believes it will be possible for a revision
Of the tariff to be made in the coming
short session of Congress If the COM
mittee does begin work on the tariff
schedules at this time, it will be for the
purpose of being ready to submit tariff
bill at a special session of the new
Congress, which is looming more and
more as probability
The Hoover administration when il
comes into ONCE on March 4, therefore
is likely to be faced with tariff revi-
sion program. Indeed. promises have
been made many times to the farmers
that greater protection shall be giver
