Life is one long battle, we have to fight at every step; and if we succeed, it is at the point of the sword; and we die with the weapon in our hand. However, and this should be remembered always, it is possible for courage to be carried to an excess and to de- generate into rashness. It may be said even that humans need some fear in their mental makeup to enable them to exist in the world. You may connect panic with Pan, the personification of nature. Fear is innate in eyery liy . and, in fact, tends to its preservation, but is apt to come into play without due “ause, nic is often misused, The distinguishing feature of word, your dictionary will tell you, is that there is no clear notion of any definite danger bound un with it. that it presumes rather than knows that danger exists, and that, in case of need, it pleads fright itself as the reason for being afraid. Some will preach that man’s attitude should be such that he would not quake even if the world fell in ruins. “Our whole life itself—let alone its blessings—would not be worth such a cowardly trembling and shaking of the heart. Therefore, tet us face life courageously and show a firm front to every ill.” That is the language in which philosophers ad- dress us, Nevertheless, “No Surrender.” is a dangerous motto. courage works ill, unless it is tempered with prudence. Cour- age avails us nothing, unless we know when to use it. It is true that we cannot endow ourselves with either cour- age or prudence, since man inherits both; still he can do much to develop them by means of resolute exercise. The Hardest Task ‘The hardest task in the world is to think. In thinking, as in everything else, it requires perseverence. Every mind has its own method. The difference between persons is not in wisdom but in art, And the differences between men in natural en- dowment are insignificant in comparison with their common wealth. Do you think the porter and street-sweeper have no thoughts, no experiences, no wonders for you? The walls of crude minds are scrawled over with facts, with thoughts. The growth of the mind—what human process is more wonderful? ‘The personal tone of each mind, which makes it more alive to certain classes of experience than others, more atten- tive to certain impressions, is equally the result of that in- visible and unimaginable play of the forces of growt within the nervous system which, irresponsibility to the environment, makes the brain peculiarly apt to function in a certain way. Herbert Spencer, in his psychology, endeavors t6 show the ry order in which the development of conceptions in the human mind occurs, and avers’ that no abstract develop- ment can be attained, until the outward experiences have reached u degree of definiteness and coherence. Thus the be- n on unchanging order, the belief in the law, is a belief of which the primitive man is absolutely incapable. The daily impressions whic hthe savage gets yield to notion very imper- fectly, and in but few cases. It is only when the Savage in man subsides, and he begins to develop the arts, that there come to him frequent experi- ences bringing the perceptions of quality and inequality. The whole burden of Spencer's effort is to show the fatal way in which the mind, supposed to be passive, is moulded by its ex- periences of “outer relations.” It is a work for thoughtful per- sons. nece: Fundamental Citizenship, They take their/polit i time a small fine was le country who failed to y Recently this fine was ri each delinquency, ‘The in Australia.

One is inevitably struck with the money raising possibil- ities of such a Jaw, if applied in this country, where the aver- age of qualified voters who cast a ballot is almost always less than fifty per cent, and much less than that at national. elec tions. All sorts of things could be endowed with the proceeds of fines at a much lower rate than $10. A national election at which even sixty per cent of voters cast their ballots might up- set every reasonable political calculation. Ag an addition to the present numerous “weeks,” we suggest a don’t fail to vote week when the on is appropriate to remind voters of this fundamental duty of citizenship. . Public Service Capital Recent merger developments in the electric light and power industry have focused increasing attention upon the value of holding company management for local utility com- panies and emphasized for the industry the economies that are possible. An important advantage of the large parent or hold- ing company oyer the local company is the superior ability to raise capital, Although electric light and power companies op- erate under regulation with respect to service and territories, they are engaged always in a competitive struggle for new ul, The small local company is at a pronounced disadvantage in this struggle. Tt is limited, because of its earnings and as- sets, to loans from Jocal banks and the sale of small issues of secu es, The parent company, with its larger and more stable arnings, can go to the’national and even international mar- kets for capital. Thott Shalt Not Kill! “T have killed seven men. I would gladly bave killed you also, but you caught me without a gun. This is the first/time I have made that mistake and you are lucky.” This is the statement made by a murderer to his captor, a'deputy ‘sheriff, down in Georgia, The ¢particular portion of the country in which the incident occurred is inconsequential Such things are happening all too often elsewhere. Human life is held all too lightly in murder circles and peace authorities must put a stop to it, Murder has grown so common by reason of Inx prosecutions that it has come to be re ed among the lesser crimes rather than the capital offense against society. When a man can boast of seyen murders, his duty. Whatever, may be the cause of failure to vindicate every single-murder in the land.-The fault of officers, the fault of laws, the fault of courts, there is the old original statute stand- ing brief and plain, “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” having, its inspira- tion from a higher source than any man made law, challeng- ing the whole people to.observe and protect it. Will public opinion ever rise to a point against taking human life, will officers of the law and others charged with the duty of pro- it reveals the fact that someone is shirking tecting society, ever recognize the pressing’ responsibilities now upon them? Bliieatine the Phat The students of Bryn Mawr College have been granted the right to smoke by President Marion Edwards Park, and a room is to be set aside in each dormitory for the girls who desire the use of an occasional cigarette. There will doubtless be a hue und cry from some of the societies who go crusading against the various versions of the tobacco habit, but the president is wiser than they in her attitude. Half the thrill of the first pipe or cigarette is in its secrecy. Human nature is human nature, irrespective of sex. Smoking is now legalized in Bryn Mawr—and half the attraction of it has vanished as a result. Beware the Avalanche Congress will convene on December 7th. It will then imme- diately:take up: the consideration of the tax bill, and also the National:Reserve Banking Dill, according to plany of leaders of both parties. Over one thousand bills have so far been pre- pared’ by different members of the house: Over five hundred have already been listed with the bill clerk, and it is more than probable that between December 7th, and the frist day ‘of Jan- uary, 1926, that at least fifteen hundred bills will have been in- troduced. With the exception of some of the more important measures and pension bills, a yast majority of the number. pre- pared: will never become laws. During the last congress there were thirteen thousand three hundred and seventy-two bills and resolutions introduced. Of this number nine hundred and ninety-six were enacted into laws. Bread and Butter Every citizen, whether he is a day laborer or a millionaire, is interested in three common problems: First, breid and but- ter for himself and his family; second, business conditions throughout the state, the nation and the world whieh will per- peaceful and profitable operation of industry and farm- third, the investment of capital in’ business enterprise which furnishes steady employment for labor. By an under- standing of these questions on the part of the general public a sound business balance is maintained, and uninterrupted employment assured. Why do philanthojists endow colleges when it would be so much cheaper to hire a few football players? More than $30,000,000 was spent during the past year by American industry, inclufling railroad and public utilities companies, for employees’ ‘pensions. The trouble in Texas is not so much that she is governed by a woman, as she isn’t. The fellow who is certain that the Volstead act is dis- credited and prohibition a failure, will not back his opinion by reserving a table in an alleged moist cabaret for New Years eye and make a payment down. The American Legion’s five million dollar endowment fund for rehabilitation and child welfare work tx now within a few hundred thousand dollars of completion. These boys long ago proved themselves good fighters. They now prove them- selves able financiers and generous supporters on their own account, of a worthy cau We know General Sherman’s opinion of war. Now if we only knew what he might think of peace treaties and war debts, our information would be just about complete. Judging from late reports of social doing along the Hud- son, it would not have been a half-bad idea if somebody had held a watch on the Rhinelander too. Is there anyone foolish enough to believe that the league of nations would-be able to carry Syria in a state-wide pri- mary? All-sorts of remedies have been suggested for calming the troublesome crime wave. How about convicting the crim- inals? It might help some. Albanians are protesting against being deported from their country. Seems they ought to welcome such a kindness, We don’t know whom the Democrats will nominate for president next time, but the man who can show up at the con- vention with a brand new issue will have an awful start on the rest of the bunch, The propagandists in this country have done about every- thing they could for the league of nations, except write a song about it. The title “Meet Me at Geneva, Eva” is respectfully suggested. Even court-martials have surrendered to jazz. What would have been the result, back in 1917, if we had said to Europe, “Yes, we'll come across—in about sixty-two years.” per cent of the voters cast their ballots.’ World Topics A resolution providing for a third Hague conference called by Pres!- dent, Coolidge “for the e ment of a permanent intern: court, of justice representing direct ly the sovereign nations and for the codification of the interna- tonal law,” will very likely be introduced in congress by Representative George H. Tink- ham of Mass- achusetts. His plan is much the same as that! offered by Senator Lodge May, 1924, HOLDEN TINKHAM |! In only one im: portant clause is there a wide diver- gence! between the two. Lodge's plan provided for the nine-year term for judges. of the proposed World Court and Tinkham's suggests that they be elected for life. In ‘explaining’ his plan,’ Repre- sentative Tinkham sald recently: “In accordance with their pro- gram to have the United States Join the League of Nations by way of the permanent court of interna- tional justice of the League of Na, tions, the internationalists have prepared, after great expenditure, a dangerous propaganda of exten- haracter and much strength. “No, American who 1s opposed to the entry of the United States into the League of ‘Nations should ‘sup- port ‘thelr proposal for our clandes- tine entry.” Tinkham continued with an analysis of the existing world court to develop his opinion that it is but a creature of the league and represents a “politieal and mfitary intermediary." “America should face reality and death with facts," he adds after de- claring that no reservations could prevent American adherence to the existing court from meaning “in fact an entry Into the covenant of he League of Nations.” She should walk In the light and not leap into the dark,” he con: cluded. ‘“‘Nelther sordid commerclal- ism nor the cloven feet of interna- tional financial interests should Girect. her way. America should continue the unfettered agent of international peace and justice.” $<. Superpower and Doctors ‘Two farmers had individual lMght- ing plants. One had more power than she needed, the other had less. They connected their plants with a copper line, result—super-power. Two villages had similar plants. While one needed repairs a connect- ing Ine between the two served the ecltizens of both places and when both plants were running they were able to serve another village without any plant, result—super-power. “A big central electric company with efficient machinery . connected with a number of smaller towns, sav- ed them money and gave them better service, result—super-power. ‘Two or three or many large gen- erating plants may connect through many miles of transmission line. That's the commonly accepted td of super-power, But the term ts only relative and has no meaning, in Its- elf. It amounts simply to intercon: nection, Each family needs a doctor, but few can afford e private doctor, so one or more physicians serve a com: munity, The community doctor has a better ‘lond factor’, than a private doctor, can be in better practice and furnish better service at lower cost When physicians organize partner ships {t ts tantamount to super- power 1 electric industry.

Valley of Delight By Samuel’ Minturn Peck. © tell me, have you seen it, The Valley of Delight? Its glades are full of Roses, Its sky is ever bright; There's just enough, of shadow To dapple and to dance; And all around Is Fairy ground Of love and of romance. And it hath Waterlilies, The Valley of Delight, Upon a lakelet floating In fragrant gold and white. Up through the tide, like Nalads, They burst their silver bars: ‘Though in the earth Each, had Its birth They always face the stars.

But How Long? Ambassador Walter H. Page, at London, during the war, writing President Woodrow Wilson, exelaim- ed: “Thank God for the Atlantic!” We Americans in the course of our history have had quite a few occasions to’ thank “God for the At- lantic. In truth, the United States is due to the Atlantic. The Atlanic induced in the English and other set- tlers a colonial character. The At- lantic really constituted our early separation from the mother country. And when fhe trial of arms arrived, the Atlantic enabled Washington to hold out for seven long year The Power iat in those very years com- pleted India’s conquest, endured Gib. raltar’s three years’ siege and kept Spain, France and Holland at bay in Burops, but for the Atlantic might have subdued “the rebel Mister Washington,” We Americans need to be grateful to the Atlantic.

Commercial Aviation —_ Although conditions in America are “the most favorable in the world” for commercial aviation, this country 1s being distanced by all other important nations, according to the opinion of the Hoover Com: mittee on Civil Aviation. The Hoover Committee's report offers four major recommendations to remove what it characterizes as the fundamental difficulties which are retarding development here. ‘They are: Enactment by congress of a civil aeronautic law: a definite government program concerning civil and industrial uses of aircraft; co-operation of all government agencies to strengthen the aircraft industry; public and business sup- port through modified insurance rates and careful investment of pri- vate money. The committee opposes direct sub- sidy of the industry as unnecessary, provided essential alr navigation facilities are furnished by the gov- ernment (landing fields, guiding lights, ete., the same as public high- ways). European countries subsidize the airplane industry. But with fair laws and government co-operation, private enterprise in this country will push the airplane to the front just the same as {t has electricity, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1925 _ SUNDA the telephone, ruilroad transporta- tion. the ‘automobile and radios Give Amertean ingenuity the chance and it will produce results much more rapidly’ than can ever be secure¢é under government supervision 1% operation of any commercia! enter prise. Convicted Youth Escapes in Court BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 5.—@)—Five minutes after he hag heard a jury verdict which found him guilty of grand larceny in Judge J. J.

As the bailiff drew his revolver, | Sullivan found protection by running in front of three miners, whose presence prevented the officer fom firing at the fugitive.

The Channel saved England‘from Spanish Invasion, and in the Channel Lord Howard of Ef- fingham and Sir Francis Drake baf- fled and hounded the Great Armada of the Spanish Don, Philip If, the William II. of the sixteenth century. Lord Grey (Sir Edward) In his book remarks upon the erring statesman- ship In Britain that could net see that martially the British Isle no longer was an {sland. So that today Great Britain is a Continental State of Europe as she never was before. Italy may be more protected by her half ring of Alps than England by her “sapphire “ing” of the Channel. Well, the Channel is not the ocean. The English Channel now amounts to no more than a broad commercial canal leading to the North Sea, which is become a pond, a sort of larger Zuyder Zee. Whereas the At- lantic still rolls that dark blue wave that defies man’s dominion, Is that so? Maybe still, today. But not tomorrow, or the day after that. The day is coming when the Atlantic will “o more constitute “the silver moat” than does today the English Channel, when we will be lucky to be defended even by the broader breadth of the Pacific. Let us at least hold in mind that certain and possibly near day. ‘{ _ oe Hoover, the Handy ‘There is no mystery as to why Secretary of Commerce Hoover ts the handy man of the Adminigtrm tion, He has an amazing keenness for big problems, a business experi- ence which gives him balanced judg- ment, unlimited capacity for hard work, and ‘goes about his job as if there were not such a, thing as poll- ties to be considered, His reports differ widely from the usual Goy- ernment output. Dealing with sub- jects which most newspaper -read- ers will view as being dry and pro- saic, he makes them interesting by. his own enthusjasm, grasp of detalls and ability to present his viewpoint so that the public may understand It. The annual repért of the secretary deals with “Progress Made in Elim}. nation of Waste.” It cannot be studied without gaining a new {dea of. what Mr. Hoover Is doing for the American people and for which he is paid the munificent sum of $15,- 000 a year.
