Register complaints before § o'clock. r, Dally Gifford when he is his oc Pinchot, governor of Pennsylvania is .restless not under the spot light. This fact may account for asional outbreaks, Ignoring conditions in cities of his own state, in matters of disrespect of law he needs must take a erack at official Washington, which he does in the fol- lowing words and language: “Among all the cities of America, Washington, where laws made, became the conspicuous leader in disrespect for the law and the constitution of the United States, Cabinet officers, judges, senators, representa; tives in congress, and leaders of the official life of Washington in every line publicly, notoriously, and-as a matter of course, broke the fundamental law of their country, Is it any wonder when these men set the example of disrespect for law ne criminal classes should follow them?” In all this Governor Pinchot is adding nothing to the fund of public knowledge and little to truth and fact. But he is demonstrating anew that it requires considerable nerve on the part of the pot to refer to the skillet as black. When the governor assumed office it was with great flourish and a proclamation that his highest object in life was to pulverize the rpm power. He has now been engaged in the pulverizing process for several years, and has had the assistance of that nationally known pulverizer General Smedley Butler in the principal city of the commonwealth, with little more than igible and discouraging results. Therefore it isunkind, to say the least, that Governor Pinchot .should attempt to weep the trash from his own dooryard into that of official Washington. There is a convict long since reached by most folks, that Governor Pinchot is more or less of a four- flushing blatherskite. We Are All in Its Power fhe International Institute of Politics at Williamstown, in announcing the developing influence of chemistry on mod- ern civilization, as the theme of its 1926 sessions, serves notice upon governments and people that chemistry is so profoundly affecting the destinies of mankind, both in peace and war, as to become an inseparable factor in the shaping of internat- ional affairs. If you want your boy or girl to be a leader in the affairs of tomorrow, train n or her to be a chemist, In the common mind chemistry usually is associated only with the corner drug store. It is time that the public should awaken to a clear understanding of what this science of chem- istry really means for mankind. To the realization that “its wizardry permeates the whole life of the nation as a yital- izing, protective and constructive agent very much in the s ne way our blood, coursing through our artéries, carries the constructive, defensive and lifebringing materials to every organ of the body.” If the man in the street will but under- stand that chemistry is the fundamental science of the trans- formation of matter, he will realize, for instance, why exactly the same fundamental laws of the science apply to, and make possible scientific contrel of, such widely divergent indus- tries as farming and steel manufacturing. Chemistry governs the transformation of the salts, min- eraly and humus (organic matter of the soil, usually leaf mold and other materials, in,which the decomposition is well wivanced) of our fields and components of the air into corn, Wheat, cotton and the innumerable other products of the soil. It governs no less the transformation of crude ores into steel and alloys, whieh, with the cunning born of chemical knowl- may be given virtually any conceivable quality of hard- , elasticity, toughness or strength. And exactly the same thing may be said of hundreds of national activities that lie bet the two extremes of farming and steel manufacture, Whatever your occupation, chemistry can be to you both \ tireless hand-maiden and f° y godmother, The domain o7 the he transformation of matter—chemistry—includes is its loftiest phase, from our birth to our the la of chemistry are the controlling law 1 und deat ind the ever clearer recog of this relation the strongest force that is raising from the uncertain realm of an art to the s re of an exact science, To many scientific minds it has become evident that these most wonderful facts of life, redity und character, must find their final explanation in chemical composition of the components of life producing, germinal protoplasm, quently, mere form and shape are no longer supreme gated to their proper place as the housing only matter which functions chemically.

Yet how much more it would be enjoyed, how much more it would mean, if those who read it were familiar with the life of the author and the circumstances under which it was written This lyric was written wi liam Ernest Henley in 1875, The poem, which is one of a collection called noes,"" was not given a title by the author, but it usually is known as “invietus,” which is a Latin word meaning invincible, un- conquerable, unsubdued. Henley was born in 1849 at Gloucester, Eng- land, and was the eldest son of a poor but well-informed bookseller. One of Henley's brothers, John, be- came a notable actor and died in the United States in 1898. Another brother, Anthony, became a well known landscape painter, When William Henley was about twelve or fourteen years old he be- came afflicted by a tuberculous die- ease which tortured him at intervals throughout his life. In these days of advanced medical science such a disease could probably be cured, but the doctors of that time considered Henley’s condition as hopeless. They found it necessary to ampu- tate one of his feet; and worse than that, they told the afflicted youth that if he hoped to save his life he would have to permit them to ampu- tate the other one also. But, hap- pily for the dauntless Henley, the doctors spoke lightly of the work of Prof. Joseph (afterward Lord) Lister, who was just then beginning to win fame through his new antiseptic treatments at Edinburgh. The en- tire medical profession of the time regarded Lister as a quack. Henley was determined to make an effort to save his foot. He was not sure that Lister was a quack, for he knew something of the jeal ousles among medical men. Bitterly poor as he was, and racked from head to foot by disease, he set out for Edinburgh. The guffering of the ragged and penniless youth is in- describable; every step he took cost him excruciating’ pain. “Why have you come all this long journey to Edinburgh to see me?” asked the kind Prof. Lister when Henley hobbled into his office on™ « rude pair of crutches. “Because, my dear sir,” replied the patient, “all the doctors in Eng- land say you are an incompetent quack, and I do not believe it.” The “outsider” said little, but used Henley, kindly—and saved his foot. He was a patient in the Old Infirmary in Edinburgh for twenty months. He went there in 1873 when he was twenty-four years of age. While confined to his bed in the hospital Henley devoted his hours to the study of languages and to the composition of poetry. For_a time his room was shared by two orphan boys whose company made the long days less tedious. ‘Thirty years afterwards one of these boys, Roden Shields, wrote of those times as follows: “I used to watch him looking hard at the roof, thinking, smiling, and frowning as if he saw nice things and talked to people. . I never dared question him. in thesé moods, but I resolved when I yas a man I would get pillows at my back and a desk fitted to my bed, and read and smile and frown. like Henley. He was a good comrade, a kif? friend, and I wept bitterly when we parted, and I think he felt it a little too.” It was during this perlod that Henley ventured to send one of his poems to Lesiie Stephens, the editor of the’Gérnhill magazine. In 1775 Stephens wrote to his wife ef a call he had made on Henley; “I had an interesting visit to. my poor con- tributor Helis a miserable cripple jn the infirmary, who has lost. one foot and is likely to lose another— or rather hopes just to save it, and has a crippled hand besides, He has been 18 months here, and in that time has taught himself Span- ish, Italan and German. He writes poems of the Swinburne. kind, and reads such books as he can get hold of. I have taken one of his’ poems for the Cornhill. I went to see Stevenson this morning. Colvin's friend, and told him all dout this poor creature, and am going to take him there.this afternoon. He will be able to lend him books, and perhaps read his MSS. and be other- wise useful. So I hope that my coming to Edinburgh will -have done good to ohe ving creature.” Sir Leslie was right in thinking he had done good to one living crea- ture by taking Stevenson to Henley. This man was no other than the great Robert Louls Stevenson, then on obscure tyro in the writing bust- ness, Henley and Stevenson be- came close friends. When the lat- ter wrote Treasure Island he used his poet friend as a model for John Silver, a Mberty which Henley never quite approved of. When Stevenson went with the editor of the Cornhill he found the, crippled. poet “sitting up in bed with his hair all tangled” and talking “‘as cheerfully as if in a king's palac Poor Henley! It was this very year, asihewlay there in the Old Infirmary, that he wrote the im- mortal poem, “Out of the Night That Covers Me." In ‘apite of his disease, in-spite of poverty, in spite of every concélvable obstacle in his path, he was able to thank what- ever gods.may be for his uncon- querable soul. He never winced, he never bowed’ his head. he never cried aloud, and the years never found him afraid. He lived a Ufe of usefulness and inspired millions to strivesfor better things. He attained renown af an editor, @ critic, and a poet; his ‘complete Nterary works compose many volimes. He finally died at the age of fifty-four, honored and loved by all who admire a great spirit .which conquers in spite of the weakness of the flesh. An International Liar | A recent dispatch from Russia given publicity in the leading Ameri- can papers was to the effect that the United States had materially gained in imports to Russia. And thjs in the face of another recent official document from the National Foreign Trade Council to the effect that Russia shows the greatest fall- ing off of all nations in foreign trade, dropping from $983,000,000 in 1913 to a total with all nations of $122,000,000 in 1925. But nobody with sound jutgment believes a word the official govern- ment of Russia says. It Is know @s the great international Har. It does not pretend to be fair, just or honest in its dealings with other nations, going on the theory that Commmunism as practiced in Rus- sia is the only theory of govern- ment, and that all other nations the world which still are old-f foned enough to follow the so-called “capitalist system" are mere out- In other words, the officias ia hold that 4t ts the only true government and that it should indulge in deception, intrigue and downright falsehood to entice others into its net The United States has not profited a dollar in trade with Russia. It) cannot profit a dollar any more than the individual dealer can profit when he sells his goods on long time credit to the man who frankly admits it is his purpose to defraud the seller. That 1s what Soviet Rus sia has told the world. “Bhat fs what Soviet Russia ts doing. The less the people of the United States have to do with this outlaw nation; the less attention pald it, save to expose, the greater the bene- fit will be to sound government and Illiterates | Next r a census will be taken lor the iliterates in the United States. Usually when a census is to be taken the people hope that it will show a large increase in the population since the day of the last counting of heads. In the case of the census of the illiterates, how- ever, the hope will be that after an honest count the number will not be 80 great as fear has {it that it will be. The General Federation of Wo- men’s Clubs suggested that this cen- sus should be taken. The Bureau of Education, the American Federa- tion of Labor, the American Red Cross, the American Legion and half a dozen other organizations are to help in the work. The country has been stirred by the disclosures made when the operations of the draft law made it known that a fearful percentage of our young men neither could read nor write. The plans for the census-taking virtually have been completed. It is expected that the work will be done by November, 1926, There is pretty fair knowledge already of the Places where the greatest amount of illiteracy exists, but statements to the effect that “these communities are worse than those communities” bave in many cases met with indig- nant denials from the authorities in “these communities.” When the census-taking has been completed and the factsyhave been cut down in figures properly attest- ed, there probably no longer will be CHAPTER 96 Flashing embers gaye a ruddy glow to the faces of two figures who cast ghostly shadows into the re- cesses of the library of Ainsley House. “Are you. very sure you love me?" “As sure as that I am alive.” On a paneled wall of the Mbrary spectres embraced. “Amoura, dearest, aye that .you love me?..,. isn't any one else?” You sure that there “There*is no one but you, Philip, and I love you so.” “But are you sure now?” Yes, I was sure the night I went away.

Promise me.” He shook his head. understanding “I promise nothing. I intend to be the boss in my home.” “Oh, you do! Well, we'll see about that.” The story that appeared in the first column of page one of the denials of existing conditions in any community, but there will be plenty of excuses. The main thing to fo will be to root out illiteracy. It has no place in these United — States. There are differences of opinion as to the part that the federal govern- ment should play in-the work of education in the States.- The thing necessary to do Is to banish illiter+ acy. In the face of such an evil there should be no fighting over the means to get rid of it. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14 1925 Westland Daily News a few days later was the talk of the town. Announcement of the “forthcom- ing wedding of Miss Amoura Ains- ley and Mr. Philip Weinrich was made today by Mr. and Mrs. Ains- ley of Indian Hill.
