Meditate an Hour! | Take a Lesson From Whitman; Loaf and Invite Your Soul 1 IS A TRULY GREAT PHILOSOPHY that Walt Whitman, American poet, left as his legacy to the world. He it was who wrote: “1 loaf and invite my soul.” There is never a person but that at some time in his life needs self-communion. A balancing, as it were, | of the profit and loss of his account with himself. ; | Weare prone to smile over the old-fashioned “hour | of meditation.” And yef it is living, not life, that has changed. We are the same; in our weakness or | strength, in capability or limitations. But living is more complex, more strenuous, espe- | cially for women. We are making history at the rate of a year a day if |we compare these times with all the ages that have gone before. If our grandmothers needed intervals | of solitude, do not we? | Self-knowledge is a positive essential of success. Workers or Profiteers? HE railways of the United States, which, according to ae! Vice President Atterbury of the Pennsylvania system, are facing bankruptcy, use about a hundred and fifty mil- lion tons of coal a year. : The average cost a ton of coal to the railways during the year 1920 was $4.17. There was a steady increase in the cost of railway coal from March, $3.49 a ton, to October, $4.77 a ton. March was the first month that the private owners operated the roads after the “e rage + aes op- 2 eration.

The New Loan, 4s stated, was to be expended in the upbuilding of education, the development of industries and the completion of the Szechuen- Hankow-Canton Railways; in a word, it provides for the recon- struction of China. This earnestness on the part of the New Con- sortium to assist China should have the gratitude of her people if the political strife had come to an end, the country were united as one, and the government upheld by a National Assembly estab- lished by constitution Unfortunately, the present attuation is far from being in a peace- The Peking Government, supported by af ‘unconstitu- tional National Assembly, cannot be said to represent the will of the people. With this New Loan the bitter internal strife will be rekindled, and perhaps the inevitable consequence will be further destruction instead of reconstruction of the country, a defeat to the original earnestness of the New Consortium to put China on her feet, America has long been regarded our best and staunchest friend, to recognize the Manchus in 1911 to advance this new loan that was just reported concluded, to the Peking Government, people of China, but also a confliction to her recognization of the establishment of the Republic Looking back into the past, we find that the defeat of the second revolutionary movement in 1913, when all the people rose against Yuan Shi-kat and his tntolerable administration, was due to a loan from the United States negotiated under the pretense of recon: struction. On the other hand, we find in 1916, the refusal of another loan by the United States had been the cause of failure of his dream of an Empire. peace and future prosperity of China is concerned, the attitude of the United States ts closely involved Consider for a moment that your President were to arrange for @ loan or to enter into an agreement without the sanction of Con- gress, would it not arouse the indignation of the people and public opinion directed against the action? in the same light, with added seriousness because an unconstitu- tional Government is responsible. In view of this grave situation, we feel it our duty as people of the Republic of China, to refuse recognition of all secret agreements and loans that the present Government may have entered or will enter into, and at the same time earnestly appeal to the people of the United States that until this long-delayed Union of the North and South is a realization a National Assembly, to influence the New Consortium to withdraw negotiations for the New Loan and Prove again the same staunch friend of China, ade to China Recently the monare ical movement re-enacted, and Republic after the overthrow of the But in the participation in the New Consortium it is not only a great disappointment to the This proves that in so far as the internal We look upon this New Loan with a Constitutional Go ernment and ~~Advertisement.
