Nations burdened by debts are almost exactly in the ‘same position as individuals in like financial condition. They have a better claim on possible lenders for pa- triotic reasons, but when the average lender fears for the solvency of the government he does no permit pa- triotism, as @ rule, to obscure his judgment. Capital is the shyest of all things. Once the fear of loss is felt it retires precipitately. Hence, debt extinction, as the basis for new credit, is indispensable to the national well-being. It is oné of the essential elements of national preparedness.

Ayres, the famous economist of the Cleveland Trust Company, sounds a note of caution in his September business bulletin. Despite the present wave of high prices and the ac- companying expectation of continued industrial Profits, ‘Colonel Ayres foresees a possible period of declining construction for the near future. This, while affecting primarily the building trades, would reduce the demand for structural steel and bring about reduced activity in many lines of industry. Why does Colonel Ayres foresee this? There has been, this summer, a sharp decline in the volume of new bonds issued by corporations. This means, he says, that much new construction and pur- chasing of equipment which ordinarily would have been Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper, and also the local news of spontaneous origin published herein.

QUESTIO: Fe echt eat aaa Question: (Official City, State and County Newspaper) SS ht \wakened Sones eames Ss PER Ee ee sar HURRICANES TEACH US A LESSON IN SYMPATHY ‘There isn’t much to do when a hurricane comes along but scurry for cover. Mankind has mastered nature in a good many ways, but it is still back where it was in the days of Colum: bus when the. winds begin to blow. We can smell a hurricane a little farther off than our predecessors could; but we can’t deflect it or lessen its force. Porto Rico—and, to a lesser extent, Florida—have suffered again from the age-old curse of the Carribean. The papers are full of the old, familiar story; houses knocked flat, shipping driven ashore, trees uprooted, crops ruined, people crushed in the falling wreckage, thousands of people left homeless and in danger of etarvation. The laboratories of the twentieth century don’t contain any antidote for hurricanes or tornadoes. There is, however, one improvement, highly sig- nificant. There was a time when a town’s misfortunes were strictly its own affair. If a hurricane devastated a certain place, the people living there had to stew in their own juices until they had repaired the damage. It might take weeks to get news of the catastrophy to under way this fall has been postponed. Colonel Ayres blames the decline in bond volume on the high interest rates that have prevailed since spring. His comments make one wonder if the “bull market” of the past year has been altogether a wholesome in- fluence. | Editorial Comment | present Labor party leader of Great Britain, made the ship at Quebec that was to take him back to England with a scant ten minutes to spare, he had just finished a tour of Canada. The effect of that tour can be meas- ured by his parting words: “I have left my heart be- hind me and am sorry that I did not miss the ship. I hope to be back aga I would be back again next month.” ees, or on this side, will do to a Scotchman. There isa very air of it that can be found nowhere else. No one has been able to analyze the fascination it exerts on the minds of men, nor to tell why the prairie has such an the people who could help; and, when the news got there, the people there were apt to be more or less in- different. That, at least, we have remedied. The extent of the Porto Rico disaster was known in New York and Washington as soon as it was known in San Juan. Governor Towner had-not had time to make a complete list of supplies needed before a steamer was sailing for the island with some 300 tons of foodstuffs. Doctors were mobilized, funds were collected; and the word that went back to Porto Rico was, “Let us know what you need and we'll get it for you.” Now the difference lies not only in the fact that news Scot. travels faster than it used to. It has more effect. It is hardly too much to say that people are niore sym- pathetic than they used to be. A century ago it would have been almost impossible to interest citizens of the United States in a catastrophe in distant Porto Rico. It never would have occurred to any of us that the thing concerned us in any way. But steamships, railroads, wireless telejraphy and airplanes have made the earth shrink. The sufferers in Porto Rico are not far-off strangers; they are our next-door neighbors, and our reaction to news of their trouble is instinctive. We take it for granted that we must help, and we wait only to find out what needs to be done. This is important. It means that we are gradually beginning to assimilate the old, neglected proposition of universal human brotherhood. We haven't got very far with it, to be sure. But we have made some progress. We cannot remain unconcerned in the face of our neigh- bors’ disaster. And that is immensely encouraging. NEW WORLDS FOR OLD In their efforts to put into the curriculum some- thing vital, educational authorities are turning more and more to the subject of geography. Not merely in the grammar grades do we find it now receiving more attention than it used to get, but even in the high schools and colleges it is being made an attractive fea- ture of the course of study. But the material which is now being offered in the geography class is not the uninteresting body of facts it was in the days when the chief object of the teacher seemed to be to have her pupils know the length of all the rivers in the world, and the altitude of all the moun- tain peaks. It is small wonder that the children often ‘wearied of this part of educational setting-up exercise. Why bother at the age of 12 with “bounding” Utah, and make the cornering of this fact a momentous edu- cational process in the life of the child? Utah will al- ways stay where it is now, and if for any conceivable reason we must know what state is to the east of it, that information is to be had at any time for the mere turn- ing of a few pages. ‘The geography of today is a more humanized study than was its predecessor. We are coming to see that foreign countries in addition to harboring mountains and rivers and lakes, are filled also with people. These people are busy, making things and they want some things that other people make. These people who live in other countries believe things which in some cases . &re different from things which we believe.

AND THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO WHISPER IT, EITHER! (Duluth Herald) j Some days it seems that this presidential campaign is getting a little rough, especially when you hear so much arate the “whispering” of eyil tales against both can- jidates. Though malignance in political campaigns is as old as the country, and no doubt as old as politics, it al- ways comes with the shock of surprise, as though it were something new. counties witnessed long before. illia Dr. m B.

Andrew Jackson, the In that campaign issues, if there were any, were for- gotten. “The country,” says Dr. Murno, “was deluged with scurrilous pamphlets and handbills which contained little or no reference to the issues, but plenty of per- sonal slander and innuendo. “Jackson wa3 pictured as a drunkard, a cock-fighter, a gambler, an adulterer, even a murderer. The famous ‘coffin handbills’ bore the names of his alleged victims. Even the reputations of his wife and mother did not the malicious literary onslaught. “Adams, on the other hand, was pilloried as a rich skinflint who never paid his honest debts, as a swindler of the national treasu , @ man who had married a for- eigner and who never kept his word. One of the hostile cartoons showed him using a horsewhip upon a crippled old soldier who had dared to ask for a bite to eat.” Slander is. rotten business, whenever it is used and whoever uses it. But it is some comfort to reflect that at least we are, at our present worst, a great deal milder than we were a hundred years ago. THE COUNT ZEPPELIN’S TRIAL (New York Times) In October, if sufficient fuel is available for a return voyage, the great dirigible Count Zeppelin, which had a trial cruise with passengers from Frankfurt and back on Thursday, will cross the Atlantic ‘riedrichshafen to to New York. Hitherto the dirigibles seen in operation here have been military ships. The Count. Zeppelin has accommodations on a luxurious scale for forty passen- gers in addition to quarters for a crew of thirty-eight. ir. Hugo Eckener, who expects to bring her over, made this statement recently: ? ,. We have motors on which we feel we can depend in any emergency that may arise. We can remain in the air for hours in perfect safety, even if every motor should give out, which is most unlikely. We can get at every motor to repair it, We have even taken apart an entire motor and reassembled it while in flight. A thorough test of the new dirigible with a full com- pleseont sot resseanas has been often postponed. The y was due in part to the question what fuel should be used.
