"Argument and Proof" "

Argument and Proof"
Some one we'll says that AN ounce of
proof Is worth ton of argument" This
Is demonStrahle In every phase of our
life. II It were possible to do so, 1t
would be interesting to discover to our
selves how much effort we eXpend in
attempting to argue men and women
into our point of view. Debate and dis
cussion seem to occupy the major por-
ton Of our time. There are two spheres
in which argument seems to be of little
avail. One Is politics, the other is re-
ligion. OF the former we have been
overwhelmed of late: of the latter we
shall continue to hear much as the days
come and 60. One Of the greatest
preachers of England. namely. Frederick
w. Robertson, declared toward the close
of mis- ministry that he had reached the
conclusion that no amount OF argument
in the Christian pulpit had ever re-
suited In the saving Of human soul.
This may seem like a broad and sweep
ing statement, especially in view Of the
volume OF literature that bears down
our library shelves on this subject
Prof. James was wont to apply to
everything the pragmatic test, will 1t
work?" When he wrote his book on
Some Varieties of Religious Expert
ence," he did not attempt to argue the
case: he simply submitted the proofs.
In the Judgment of this great scholar,
irrefutable evidence as to the supreme
value of the Christian religion was to
be found in the transformed and trans
figured lives of men and women.
To his mind. the witness of a life was
worth more than all the argument that
might be adduced. OF late we have
been inundated with books of one kind
and another. all of them filled with ar
gument. The Persian poets verse fits
the case:
Myself when young did eagerly fire.

practical acts of positive friendship"
He will undoubtedly promote such acts,
quite aside from treaties, during his
Latin American trip and afterward IN
the White House. Almost al! OF ms
greatest accomplishments have been the
outcome not of legislative authorization,
but Of free and spontaneous personal
conferrings and personal organizings In
the public interest.
If it is more personal intercourse be-
tween the heads of the OLD World and
the heads Of the New that Mr.. Baldwin
wants, 1t Is Mr.. Hoover that was born to
give it to him In full reciprocity-and
more.
All these considerations confirm this
writer in prophesying:
Fewer international conference"
and words. more international CON
versations" and acts.

1t has been frequently remarked and
seldom believed that wealth does not
secure happiness. OF itself 1t does not.
The uses to which 1t can be put and
the associations it encourages are to be
considered. A millionaire gangman can
scarcely be happy with only fellow
sangmen to play cards with and
knowing he may be killed at any mo-
ment.

A catastrophe like that which befell

YOUNG PRINCE
Of RUMAN|A
To WE'D
By international News Service

MOON, Oct. PAP r i n C e
Nicholas, of Rumania, youngest SON
of Queen Marie, who was recently
reported to have eloped to- Paris
with Nine. Dumitrescu Tahon, a
beautiful and wealthy Rumanian
society woman, will soon marry a
princess of one of the reigning
houses of Europe, according to a
dispatch from Bucharest today
quoting the newspaper Cuvantul.
1t is believed that Queen Marie is
insisting that Nicholas marry in
order to break up the love affair
between him and Nine. Dumitrescu
Tahon. The queen had interviewed
in a similar way to break up
the romance between former Crown
Prince Carol, brother of Nicholas,
and Nine. Zizi Lambrino. AT that
time the queen compelled Carol to
marry Princess Helen, of Greece.
Nicholas is 25 years old. He was
reported to have eloped to Paris
with Nine. Dumitrescu Tahon in
September. Later the Rumanian
Legation in Paris and the chamber
lain of the Rumanian court at
Bucharest denied there had been
any elopement. 1t was stated that
Nicholas had gone to Paris for
medical treatment accompanied only
by a military aide. He returned to
Bucharest a fortnight ago
Queen Marie has been i'll and has
not yet recovered. She was suf-
fering from influenza, govt and
neuralgia rheumatism.

$4,000 to $4,000 Bet
Is Placed on Hoover

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-The largest
wager recorded in Wall Street bet
ting circles on the outcome of the
presidential election has been re-
ported by ]. S. Fried & Co., betting
brokers, who said that $4,000 offered
on Hoover at 81 to odds was taken
by a Smith hacker. The latter put
up $780, under the odds called for.
A bet of SIS, 900 even money that
Hoover would carry New York State
was also taken, according to the
company, and the odds were 6 to
that Roosevelt would defeat Ottin-
ger for governor. One customer
waged $500 against $4,000 that the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
would win.
