He has written a book about them, after H \ a year in the Marquesas Islands. These lie in the i South Pacific, midway between Austratia . and H South America. > \ i =} Editor eh vie ue ~ - Marquesans once numbered several hundred thousand. Now they total 500. New peoples have been appearing and disap- pearing since the world began. But disappearance of a race always is tragic. Its last survivors seem to take on a peculiar dignity from the fact their line is doomed. Cooper, the novelist, made the ; most of it in “The Last of the Mohicans.” yt Marquesars, however, are more interesting in i the speculation about their origin than about their i end. . It appears that their remote ancestors were } Europeans. | Thousands of years ago, it is supposed, voyagers j from the north settled the islands. Perhaps they : _- were shipwrecked. O’Brien, who~ now . is their chief chronicler, suggests that they came , from i Treland. fi i Marquesans have regular features. ‘Their hair is wavy and long. Their skin is tawny white. } = Whatever their origin, all definite record of it had it i i been lost when the islands were re-discovered | | three centuries ago. : One of their customs is notable. The women do‘the courting.’ Vigoroysly. Particularly those known as mountain women. One will pounce upon an unwary man she fancies and carry -him off by force to be her husband. Well, that may : indicate their kinship with Caucasians, as viewed Rea , by G. Bernard Shaw.. ; 4 OUSTED SOCIALISTS The New York state assembly has done its best fo encourage red radicalism in the United States. * } By voting to throw out the five socialist assembly: “men, duly elected to office, on the ground that / ~* membership in the socialist party constituted in 1 itself a disqualification for office, the assembly * has dealt a staggering blow to representative gov- } ernment, he i *'. The 115. members who voted for expulsion have virtually said to every man and woman socialist ,» in the United States: “You cannot present your plan of change in an orderly, parliamentary, dem- ‘ ocratic manner. The wild-eyed radicals who have been saying that ‘it was foolish to try to remedy any existing conditions by going to the ballot box were right.. We will not allow your ideas to be represented. You jcannot vote for men of your ‘ own choosing.” - i ee Charles Evans Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt were among the host of distinguished Americans ‘, Who protested against the legislature's wanton be- trayal of representative government. : i * The assembly members who voted to oust, the, A socialists convicted themselves as traitors to]. ‘ fundamental American principles. The action of the assembly, by closing the door to political action, has invited those who are dis-| contented with existing conditions to resort to + — “direct: action.” It has given the I. W. W. agi- tators a new and better argument on which to base their tirades against American institutions. i PAIN IS USEFUL There is no sensation more useful to man than that of pain, and no nerves are more widely scat- tered throughout the body or have endings more | thickly packed together in the. skin than those that give it. The function of these nerves is to warn against: anything “noxious” or injurious to the body, and so they are called “noci-ceptors.”” But the same kind of injury does not cause the same kind of pain in different’ parts of the body. The sensitive scalp is enough to make one-keep his head out of harm’s way, and so the brain itself does not need to feel pain when it is injured. And when the skull is once opened the brain can be 9 | cut without any pain at all, and surgeons can in- vestigate it while the patient sits quietly talking, ! or tells what he feels as they “stimulate” differ- ent parts of it,to action by an electric current. So’ with the ‘intestines, They are ' protected from cuts and bruises by the sensitive sKin and muscles around them, .and consequently they \ themselves feel very little pain when they are/cut. But stretching them, as they might be stretched and injured by gases, causes exquisite agony. Pain would be useless to animals who could not learn, by experience to’ avoid ‘what had “hurt” them ;' and it is questionable whether creatures very lowin the scale of life ever feel ‘its sharp tang, though they probably do feel vague discom- fort, like that which comes to man wi hunger or cramped position. \~ Lenine says Russia wants raw material. He probably realizes that sophisticated material wouldn’t take a chance over there. Couldn’t the stead of Ebert? John Sharp Williams says he would rather bay at the moon than sit in the senate. Lots of ’em} do both. ith cold or allies save time by dealing direct with the president of the bricklayers’ union in- t A MERRY MUDDLE q The time system of the country promises to be- rod come a merry muddle. Many of the larger cities, awakened by the war to the value of an hour ‘ more daylight during ‘summer months, have al- ready or are intending to adopt local more day- light ordinances. é Instead of simply having four different times, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, for four definite subdivisions, the nation will have scores of different times within’the four main divisions. It will-be a cast of changing your watch every time-you reach a large city. Since. Jan. 1, 1919, Eastern time is used from the Atlantic to a line through Toledo.and Colum- » son City, Tenn.; Asheville, N. C,; Atlanta and Macon, Ga., and Apalachicola, Fla. Central time is used from the first line to a line through Man- dan, N. Dak.; Pierre, S. Dak.; McCook, Neb.; Dodge City, Kan.; Sweetwater and San Angelo, ‘ex. Mountain time. goes from this second line to.a line through Helena and Butte, Mont.; Poca- tello, Idaho; Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, and Parker and Yuma, Ariz. And Pacific time is used from the third line to the Pacific ocean. . . - , This comprised what is known as “Standard time.” Dissatisfaction over. it during summer | months is, not confined to any particular locality. qs. “It is: nation-wide. ‘ . : bus, O.; Huntington, W.

S. y Cushman of the Stewardship De- partment of the Interchurch World Movement.. From that size city down to towns.of 100,000 inhabi- , tants, the average salary falls to » $1,110. From 100,000 to: 50,000 the average is $1,063 and from Places of that size down to 10,000 the average pay of the minister is $972. In‘towns of less than 2,500 | AMONG THE POLI- | -TICIANS Paper—_‘This slam If,a man is to be counted happy because he has been able to do: what he wished tp, to do it well and get‘ great fun-out of it, then John Burroughs, the master of Slabsides on the Hudson, who cele- brates his eighty-third birthday today, has no reason to complain. : Mr. Burroughs belongs to a very small and se- lect class.’ He is a naturalist among’ poets) and a poet among naturalists.. So he is saved from the objective detachment of the man of science:and from the subjective emotionalism of the artist. He is the result of a combination of opposite and balancing qualities. . Joos In‘all'probability he has done more to take his fellow ‘couritrymen and! countrywomen into the gpen—for' its own sake and apart frgm golf and other delightful lures-than any other American, who has written of wood and wave, gardens and orchards, wild and cultivated’ places, There must be some significance in the fact that like Jean Henri Fabre, the expert on the so- cial, political and economic life of bees and: ants— races from which we have much to learn—John Burroughs began activa life as a school teacher.

Nestos, of, Minot, into the race for the governorship seems to have caused a ripple of excitement over the state. We can see no reason for! being alarmed—Mr. Nestos is a good man and would maké a splendid governor, if elected.

The, average salary ‘of the col- lege trained preacher, is $937, ac- cording to Dr. Cushman’s figurés— several hundred dollars less than the annual earnings of workers. » A worker in the rubber industry averages $1,526.20 a year. The av- erage for the boot and shoe work- er is’ $1,346; for the chemical worker $1,326.40; the silk work- for the paper work- er,.$1,164; and for the wool work- er, $962.72. While the salary of ministers ‘has slightly increased since 1914 it is very small in comparison with the increases obtained by {ndus- trial workers. Chem{cal workers receive 104 per cent. more money than they did five years ago; cot- ton workerg 71 per cent.; metal ‘workers 88; wool 62; silk 93; rub- ber workers 110; and boot, shoe and” paper workers an increase of 76 per cent,each. | ‘ In 1918/1ess than 1 pet cent. of S.YSLSINID thé ministers ‘paid a tax on in- come in_excess of $3,000. There are 438 ministers in the country who get more than $3,000 a year, but less than $4,000. There are 404 who receive between’ $4,000 and $5,000; less than 300 between $5,000 and $6,000 while 162 av- erage between. $6,000 and $7,000 annually. There are 392 ‘who re-. ceive. more than $7,000. These incomes were not only pay from churches but included priv- ate earnings too. Hundreds of ministers have been for to en- gage in some occupation outside of the ministry such as poultry rais- ing, barbering, market gardening, etc., to earn enough to feed and clothe their families. The fore- going shows,vividly why the In- terchurch World Movement has . included increased pay for minis- ters as one of the chief planks in its forward-looking, five-year pro- gram for the expansion of Protés- tantism throughout the world. < r 1 Pp.
