Humanity in distress wherever it may hé makes an appeal which is irresistible and while it does not appear but what| Italy will be able to fully meet the sit- uation it knows from previous experi- ehces what can be expected from others in their assistance is desired case WHEN THE SECRETARIES SPEAK. The announcement to the effeet that Attorney General Palmer is going to go on the stump for Governor Cox is in keeping with the declaration of Secre- tary Baker to the same effect. It is to be expected that they will endeavor to| cénvince the country of the necessity of seeing that the policies which have been)) put forth by the Wilson administration are maintained. Whether the attorney general will de- vote his time to telling what his depart- ment has been able to accomplish in the way of climinating the profiteer and re- ducing the cost of living is a bit uncer- tain but it cannot fail to be realized that such matters are of deep concern to the people who as yet have failed to recognize gelting the results so enthu- siastically aimed at and so signally issed. Certainly In view of the promises made by the administration and the part assigned to his dzpartment in connection therewith the country has reason to ex- pect an accounting from the attorney general as to how it was that not only has there been a failure to bring down the cost of living but it has on the con- trary gone higher than ever and in spite of the fact that the administration hrouzh special legislaticn had greater sontrol than ever hefore. Glowing prom- ises were made at the opening of the lemocratic administration as well as be- fore. How well they have been kept those wWho were expecied to benefit from them know too well. There will cer- tainly be scme very interesting things for Mr. Palmer to reveal, while his fel- low cabinet member, Secretary Baker, can likewise furnish some enlightenment relative to the waste in connection with war expenditures which placed a system of taxation upon the country that prom- ises to remain for many years to come. ‘While these advisers of the president could furnish the country some enlight- enment in these directions it seems like- 1y, in view of conditions, that they will studiously avoid such matters. BUILDING OPERATIONS. From all sections of the country there come reports concerfing the need’ of more houses and efforts being put forth to bring dbout increased construction. It is fully understood that there has been a failure to eérect -~houses, to en- large industrial establishments or to en- gage in any large building enterprises because of the conditions prevailing. The war period interrupted the annual in- crease in this direction and with the rush of people to the cities there has been a demand for accommodations which it has been hard to meet while there have been those within the city who have been encouraged to seek bet- ter homes because for the time being their employment made it possible. For a long time the inability to get material, the uncertainty of delivery, the labor conditions, the increased dif- ficulty in getting loans, backed by the belief that construction costs would de- cline served to bring about a policy of delay in connection with building opera- Even the fact that houses today e commanding much larger rents than ever before has been re ded as a tem- porary condition which did not encour- age large outlays in anticipation of such return, since it has been felt that such returns are bound to be less uncertain Just when pected that greased tion: more or conditions are to be ex- will lend encouragement to construction is as yet uncer- There has been no great change the inability to get certain mater- in. nd is still experienced. That there is a demand for new houses; for more ac- commodations in many localities, and on the part of not a few for better homes than they have been occupying cannot be questioned. There has been a nor- mal growth in this direction for several It means therefore a constantly increasing task to meet the demand but the time does not appear to have been reached when the individual fee rtain that he would be warranted in| making s use of his money.

If Lenine has forbidden the entry of foreign reds into Russia can it be that he is tiring of such helpers as Alex and Emma? When Secretary Houston declares that the nation's debt reduction will be started next year he of course antici- pates republican action. The expressions at Marion on Labor day made it quite evident that Samuel Gmopers isn't likely to deliver the labor vote according to his ruling. Connecticut republicans can feel quite as proud of the state convention results as they could had the selections been made by the primary method. The republican delegates assembled in state convention should understand that the party and state want the best man that can be found for the place, But while the cemocrats are so horri- fied over the out in the open plans of the republicans they are crying for all they can get and assessing federal em- ployes. By the nomination of Thomas Watson for senator possibly Georgia will still claim that the best element of the state is opposed to him even as it is to Iynching. . If the special session of the legisla- ture takes up all the business that can be brought before it it will have to hus- tle to get out of the way of the next reg- ular session. It is amusing to see Governor Cox la- beling statements by others given un- der oath as falsehoods when he has fail- ed to so much as to take oath to the allegations he has made. THE MAN WHO TALKS That character is influenced by en- vironment admits of no pgssible doubt. Let anyone, however good the stock he comes from, be put into a bad moral at- mosphere ang he will soon reflect his moral surroundings in every fibre of his being. But close observers tell us that eéven topography and climate haye something to do in the production of personality. It is certainly true that rough, moun- tainous countries rear men not only of physical brawn, but of mental and moral ruggedness. Soft climates are the para- dise of soft people; not those who dis- cover continents, or build up vast bus- iness enterprises. The hard, raw cli- mate of New England produces white oak trees and white oak men. Countries that boast of their climate seldom have occasion to boast of their men. Moun- tains particularly are associated with loftiness of mind and soul. Scotland, Switzerland and New England are re- markable for “mountain majesties” and for men and women of the highest rank. No race of men have ever surpassed the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers. As one goes about and listens to the conversation of different groups of men here and there he is appalled at the fre- quency With which God's name is pro- faned. To insult the Deity or even i use His name frivolously is no small offense. It is no excuse to say, “Oh, it is only a thoughtless habit; T don’t mean anything by it.” We cannqt get into the babit of doing some things with impunity, If you should knock a man down, would ou plead as an excuse that it was only ‘thoughtless habit” you had gotten in- a to? How would the judge or jury in any court freat such an excuse? And vet every time you swear yvou virtually rike_vour Maker in the face, and do vou think you are going to get away with it? What does vour reason tell you? Suppose you “get into the habit” of traducing your country and shout your treason on' the street corners and in the market place. in all probability you will zet a free ride to Atlanta. Ga., Where vou belong. Most painful of all is the profanity of a little child. Parents, what are you doing in the matter? The identity of a man w world expresses itself forc mer. If this statenent proof ail one has to do it to point to the exodus of city people into the coun- try during the summer months.

At first she enjoyed the passing crowds and the eight of the women near her, but after a while she began to feel sleepy and bored. The woman who sat next to her in the rocker was a pleasant looking soul, so Mrs, Stratton addressed a remark to her in regard to the weather. The stranger was evidently glad to break the monotony of her own wait, and it wag not long before they were dis- cussing everything from European politics to the high cost of living. “My rent has been raised €o much,” Mrs. Stratton declared, “that I just simply have to lie awake nights thinking up ways to economize. I go bargain huntir® as I never did before.” “One has to,” agreed the stranger. “It just makes you gasp to see how much they charge for suits, for in- starice.” “And hats!” sighed Mrs. Stratton, “Have you tried to get any sort of head covering yet?” “I came down today ta meet my daughter,” said he sranger. ‘We are going to get hats if it takes ug all night and we ae not going to pay all sorts of prices for them, either. “Oh, the subject of frofiteering makes me wild,’ said Mg Stratton with indignation. “How ko you think I like having to go without clothes in order that my landlord may have a trip to Bermuda?

The high prices are perfectly inexcus- able.” “‘Of course we have to stay where we are, because there is no other place to go,” said Mrs. Stratton. “But can economize on clothes because I am not entirely destitute yet. There is one thing we cannot do without, how- ever, and that is provisions.

He does this that we may feél confident to go to Him in prayer. That we mdy fesl that God is our Father and we are his children. Christ gave many tesehings reparding prayer.
