A FAOT, long esabiished is that women, for the must part have been the viijlar of church activ- ities. Now, with their field broadened as it has been by constitutional enactments, it may be as- sumed thet their energies will be elsewhere direct ed. Consequently church movements, many of which were vital as sources of interest to attract members to congregations, and were agencies of accomplishing much of the good done by the church, will suffer. And if the work is not carried on at least at the standard it is now being conducted,, it will decline to the point where it will be necessary to look to some other institution for its promulgs tion. Such a serious loss of influence as this would) soon react further to reduce the size of congreg: tions. In addition the mother’s influence being d yersified, much of the pressure which has direct ed sons and daughters to Sunday school and ulti- mately to church would be lessened. The possibil- ities of this condition as affecting church attend- ance in the space of a few generations are alarm- ing to those who feel that the church as an insti- tution should be maintained. There is always the law of supply and demand to be considered, and it is generally understood that the need for spiritual expression always has ex- isted among peoples and probably always will. “But the question which the modern trend presents is: Will that expression continue “to ibe found through the church as it exists or as it may be modified, or will some other institution grow up which shall entirely replace the church. as a me ium to supply this popular demand?

Mr. Ba ruch and Colonel E. M. House, who probably was the only Democrat who ranked Mr. Baruch in, President Wilson’s confidence, were the sponsors of Clemenceau’s trip to the United States. Mr. Baruch has also been a very liberal contributor | to the Democratic National Committee's campaign | fund and is understood to be piaymg a-very ‘ge but adroit part in the 1924 campaign preliminaries. Mr. Silver is a prominent Vemocrat from West | Virginia whose name has been meationed in con- nection with the Democratic nomination for either Presidenc: Vice Presidency in 1924 in the belief that he could swing the farm yote because of his connection with the American Farm Bureau bederauion in the capacity of its legislative agent Vee Washington. | Both Mr; Baruch and Clemenceau told those at the. Ameri ‘arm Bureau Federation meeting that the farmers’ present plight is due to the “isola tion” of the United States trom European affairs. | Mr. Baruch made an address to the me iim- mediately preceding the address by Clemenceau in which he stated that the need of the farmer today is a “reestablishment” of his foreign markets and \that as a precedent to this the United States must! |change its international policy. Clemenceau evi dently had been coached along the same lines for |e made the allegation that the prosperity of the} |American farmer depended upon his interest in |foreign affairs and that he has lost the fo ign! {markets because the United States is not partici- pating in foreign affairs. The argument is now being stressed in all Dem- ocratic nev nd Democratic publi ‘Take tor ¢e the New York World of December 10 from which the following is quoted: | “The first cause of the low price of farm prod-| jucts is due to the fact that Europe cannot buy as} she did. About 5 per cent of our agricultural pro-| ducts is sold abroad. If it cannot be sold abroad | it remains in this country as a surplus and pulls down the domestic price. This is just what has happened in the last two years. * * * The western farmer sells in the world market. His in farm prices is inevitable.” These statements are not true. They are in ab- {solute disregard of the record of the United States Bureau of Foreign Commerce. This record shows that instead of the American farmer losing the Eu- |ropean markets in tie it two years he has export-| ed more products during the last two years than | ny period in American history. | Of some products, such as grain, the exports of the last two years have been from two to five times greater than any previous period in American his- tory. in brief, the American farmer has not lost his izweu; we caunot becume ansuiarized. | jwith nothing moye than the margins! jouary ‘prices are fixed in the world market and if the mandarin game world market is suddenly unable to buy a collapse'she drops the dialect of Canton when -—By Fontaine Fox EverYoNe HE TRIED IT ON, BIT” Goop AND HARD WHEN.

Will the ence of our peo-| be impfoved, th pleasures in- creased, and time pass. And the cause cf peace on earth will be mightly ad- vanced, for the man who was born in China believes that he speaks truth when he says that a good game and a gamble are better than many fights. This teaching, of course, arrives by way of Canton. The new games are coming by that route, too. Canton is canny. Canton comprehends the work- Ings of the Western nind with curi- litte Glstortion. Finding it amusing and profitable now to teach the United States Mah Jongg, the of the world's creation, English letter labels are made for the chests that hold the bambeo and ivory pio Even those whom every new thing interests are learning to read the faces of the tiles, to know the bam-! boo and the dots, the rich man anda! the winds, and the flowers end the seasons, Canton {s planning to teach another and an easier game to those who are not going tu be able to mas- ter Mah Jongg.

Once upon a time there vas a gar-| den in which grew many beautiful fowers. Among them were gorgeous 8, stately lilies and one modest! Uttle white begonia. The gardener loved the flowers, and he was very sorry when !t becamo necessary for him to go forth upon} @ long journey at a time when all the plants were in full bloom. Immediately upon his return he! went into the garden to sce hie be- loved blossoms. The roses had faded nd woud not bloom again yntll the next season. The lilles’ pete’s had len, for their time of rest had come.| But the ittle begonia was as full of! white blossoms as before. “Ah, dear little begonia,” sald ‘the gardener, ‘you are like true friend- ship; you bloom always.” The little white begonia flushed With joy until its petals“ were a rosy pink. It has kept its rosy color ever sirfce, and it is known as the “Flower of Friendship” unto this day. —G.P.W. pen dios kaise Baby Carriage Right of | Citizenship and Art I would define the good citizen in almost exactly the same terms as 1 would def.ne the artist, To be a good citizen you must be, first and fore most, an exceJent workman, @ pro. ducer of something which it ts an ¢d. ucation to produce and which when produced is of-real value to your fe jow men—it may be a sonret or may be a perambulator. When men are doing excelent wor (when, that is, they have become ar- tist-cltizens according to their spe |clal apt.tude), two things invariably the value of) follow: (1) They feel thelr own lives and learn to respect themselves accordingly—a state of things which is the best possible pro: tection against vice and degeneratio! (2) they learn to respect their fellow meu who are tryin to do the samo thing. When competition takes place on the ground of excellence it unites men and leads to mutual respect, just as surely as it d-vides them and leads to mutual distrust when it takes place on the ground of greed. These two results, self-respect and mutual re- spect, which grow inevitably out of the pursuit of excellence in work, are Way. Mother takes out the baby carriage.

That is the reason why there are greater efforts being made today than ever before to provide attractions that please and “make good.” Many have felt the pride that comes with the production of a success. Others have fallen upon times when the public did not agree with them. Tt is always best to accept the public verdict. serious mistake to try to force over a picture, an actor or an actress the public not like.

RWIGN service unsurpassed by that of any other nation at an additional cost of less than two-fifths of a cent per capita annually will be as- sured by the Rogers bill now before the Congress The foreign service is our first line of defense and the advance guard of commercial expansion. Considered from the standpoint of results to be achieved in higher efficiency and prestige in the foreign service of the United States; in strength-| ‘ening the agencies that make for peace; in attract- ig to the service the best talent in the country; an inducing those already in the service, as well as those who will press for entrance in the future, to select it as a permanent career; in expunging the “anarchronistic distinctions now existing between tplamatic and consular officers, and in democra- ttizing our service, as every leading nation has done Swrith its own; in humanizing the service; and in peiving every officer a fair field with no fayor— ¢ additional appropriation contemplated by the ‘bill becomes infinitesimal. * The Rogers bill reclassifies and reorganizes di- ‘plomatic and consular offices. It puts the two serv sices under one head and one roof—the foreign service. All below the grade of ambassador and minister are to be known as “foreign service | Officers,” from the entering Class 9 for young * men, at $3,000, to Class 1, $9,000 per annum. It provides for a retirement annuity at the age of 65, ranging from $875 to $4,800, dependent on length ; of service and grade attained therein. It makes provision for representation allowances, as other natious have done. ; _Deyoid of partisan features. its virtues appre- ‘elated, it sliould be supported by a large majority i the so-called “isolation” of the United States since the war has not hurt the American farmer is plain- ly evident in the fact that never before has he en-| d such a foreign market as he has during this period, Debate or Discussion? AN NASEe the two words hardly sustain the dis- tinction he tries to establish between @iem, yet Dr. Overstreet woul replace “debate” with} ; “discussion. Nevertheless, his meaning seems clear} enough. The discussion he would have would be| between a larger or smaller group of interested persons, none of whom would start with the as- sumption that a given proposition was false or true. The members of the group would not be antag- ‘onists fighting for victory, but friends gathered! for the discovery of the truth, each making such contributions teward it as he can and carefully giving to the contributions of the others such} weight as in his judgment they deserve. They will not be disturbed if they come to no agree- ment, to no conclusion, and if they do reach one they will hold it in some degree provisional, pos- sibly to be modified or even rejected later if new cts or ideas become available. These sound a little like counsels of perfection, for few or none of us have time for suspending jjudgment in regard to everything, and almost of necessity we must hold at least a few things as |settied for good and all. In theory, however, Dr. Overstreet is right in his preference for discussion over debate, as he understands those words, and |right in declaring that the way in which men of , Science approach a problem is much better than the {way in which a lawyer starts out to win his client’s case for him if he can.
