SCOUTING the idea of a financial panic’s befalling the United States, Mr. John Fletcher, vice-president of the Fort Dearborn Bank of Chicago, reminds the down-mouthed that with only five per cent of the world’s population we have twenty • four per cent of its agricultural production, forty per cent of its mineral output, and that we manufacture thirty-five per cent of its goods. If these facts do not reassure, he bids them take note that our natural wealth exceeds two hundred and twenty-five billion dollars, which is one hundred and forty-five billions above that of England, who comes next; that our trade balance towers to the height of five billion dollars; that “our for eign-placed securities amounting to some eight billions have been repurchased in this country,” that our associates in the war are indebted to us to the amount of some ten billion dollars; that half the gold of civili zation is here; and that American bank de posits exceed those of the rest of the world by many billions. But, says this keen and cheerful observer, with all these resources and buttresses of prosperity, there undoubtedly is cause for concern —not for alarm, but for thoughtful and vigorous effort. The real trouble, as he sees it, is simply this: “There is a premium on idleness.” Nature’s bounty and money’s strength can never make up for a slackening of human energy. There must be steady pro duction if economic balance is to be main tained; and there must be due exertion of . man power if production is to be steady in its flow. A world emerging from the most wasteful of wars cannot be kept up on half handed or half-hearted work. Nor can all the prosperity of this, the earth’s most favored land, suffice our needs if we fail to render the services and to pro duce the goods on which our common wants depend. Services and goods, after ( all, are the only forms of material wealth that ulti mately count; without them business would cease to function and the social order itself break down, regardless of how many bil lions of money lay in bank or how much treasure in the earth. Possibility of a finan cial panic in the United States is virtually precluded by the Federal Reserve system it self, that tower of strength which kept us secure in the world-rocking storm burst of 1914 and which assuredly will prove no less notent in these better guarded days. But this will not prevent industrial ills, it will not prevent hardship and loss and suffering i production of the great necessaries falls be low the country’s needs. Idleness m such time is unpardonable. America's Large Interests In China’s Development. AMERICA IS deeply interested in the formation of an international bank ing group to finance the Chinese Government in certain large for national progress and development. \, hile details of the transaction have not yet been given out, it is said that the amount of the proposed loan ranges abound a quarter ot a billion dollars, the major portion of yUQ is to be used in railway construction and bet terment. In consequence of these improve ments, it is predicted, “North and South China will be drawn closer together, and vast undeveloped resources of the interior, which are c/ almost unbelievable value, will be tapped.” , . Authorities say, indeed, that there are few, if any, other regions of the earth altogether eo opulent as China is in those basic ti ens ures of which civilization is now specially in need. In the important item of coal, the great republic of the East could supply a large part of the entire world’s needs for a thousand years to come. Rich in divers other minerals and vastly rich in the essentials of agricultural production, she stands out as a potential supply base to which the eyes of all mankind well may turn. But these latent stores cannot be duly developed and turned into the channels of world commerce until the country is provided with better transpor tation facilities. With an area one and a half times as large as that of the continental united States and a population approximately four times larger than ours, numbering about ninety-three persons to the square mile, China has only some thousand miles of railroads compared with two hundred and sixty thousand miles in this country. The transportation service which the in ternational loan is to establish will quicken a thousand springs of sleeping enterprise and bring China closer to all the world. Rail roads will encourage the etxension and im provement of highways, and these, in turn, the use of motor vehicles. Isolated districts will be linked to busy centers and stirred by the currents of progress that are moving so marvelously in those parts of China where creative education has entered. Not only will fresh sources of natural treasure thus be made available for international commerce, but there will be also an intensive upgrowth of modern industries within China, calling for all manner of machinery and equipment, as well as for financial sinews. Naturally, too, the demand for foreign manufactures will multiply as the country develops in outer connections and inner prosperity. In the fertile trade opportunities thus awaiting cultivation the United States has the advantage of a long record of disinterested friendship for China. But American manu facturers and merchants cannot afford to de pend upon that happy tradition alone. If they are to meet their competitors they must un- •Erm ATLANTA TKI-VVsfilfiKJjY JOURNAL derstand Chinese wants and tastes and cus toms and character. In a singularly interest ing booklet on the subject, the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, points out that “three basic elements govern Chinese busi ness—personality, education and honesty.” Regarding the first, your representa tive in China must be a man of educa tion and tact. The quality of aggres siveness which makes for success in the United States must be toned down in dealings with the Chinese, a dignified race, who abhor the breeziness of a cer tain type of salesmen. On the other hand, they have a profound reverence for a man of learning, and, if lie is familiar with their customs, business relations will proceed smoothly and profitably. The same authority reminds us that his commercial honor is an outstanding fea ture of the Chinese character and that he “demands an equally high standard of the foreigner.” Indeed, “one deviation from ab solute integrity on the part of your repre sentative would probably destroy your busi ness in China. At the same time the Chinese merchant is altogether ‘liberal in his deal ings.’ He is ‘tenacious as to all that is material, with comparative disregard for trifles, never letting a transaction fall through on account of punctilio, yielding to the prejudices of others wherever it can be done without material disadvantage.’ ” Where so much of opportunity, both for profit and for service is involved for Amer ican business, it is taken for granted that the Washington Government approves the plan to muster the financial aid needed for China’s development, provided, of course, her freedom and sovereignty are not threat ened or compromised. This point, it is un derstood, has been duly guarded in the new consortium of international bankers formed to assist the Government, and through It the people, of China in procuring the facili ties needful for the development of their wonderous resources. If so, American in terests doubtless will take a leading part in this great and useful» enterprise. Fixing German Indemnity Furthers Reconstruction. S a step toward economic reconstruc- Ation the decision on the long sus pended matter of German indemnity is of far-reaching importance. The amount which the Allies are said to have agreed to demand is of less moment than the fact that they have agreed at all so that it is possible to end an uncertainty which has hampered the vital processes of readjust ment not in Europe alone, but throughout the war-shaken world. ’ As long as Germany was in the dark on this question, which her taxes and earnings for long years, if not for decades to come, no considerable progress could be be made in the readjustment of her busi ness affairs nor in the shaping of those fiscal policies which form so grave a part oi her new Government’s tasks. The results of this dubious marking of time have been no less unfortunate for Allied interests than for Germanys’, for not until the latter are placed upon a responsible and productive basis can the former be duly secured and the work of rehabilitation go forward apace. A half-idle Germany cannot pay adequate in demnities, nor can a Germany of sullen bondsmen. The people who so unhappily put their trust in Prussian militarism and went down with it into the valley of dark est defeat must be given opportunity and en couragement to recover power of prodction and get back into the channels of world trade, if they are to raise the vast sums which even the most lenient judgment as to reparations will require. But as long as the amount remained unfixed, conjecture rang ing all the way from forty to one hundred and fifty billion in terms of American money, next to nothing could be done in the way of stabilizing economic relations between Germany and the world. The delay is ascribable to sundry causes, not the least of which Is the failure of the United States to ratify the peace treaty in one form ’or another dnd lend at least moral support to the League of Nations. Assuredly it is a matter of deep regret on the busi ness side alone, not to speak of humanitar ian concerns, that our Government, though having billions of American bond money in volved in European debts, still has no repre sentation in the settlement of many and many a policy which in one way or another affects, not only those credits but our entire economic future as well. The sooner this condition is remedied through an adjustment of the differences between the President and the Senate on the treaty, the better will it be for all parties at interest. Meanwhile, it is reassuring that the Allies have agreed upon a definite indemnity. The sum is reported unofficially to be about thir ty billion dollars. That is something more than the most cautious of British counselors, outside of Governmon circles, advised, but it is much less than what most authorities were proposing just after the war. Discus sion of the figures now given, however, must await the official announcement. It is great ly to be hoped that there will He no further delays; too much is at stake for the world’s peace and prosperity. As to Packing Farm Products IN commending Texas shippers of fruits and vegetables for the new care they are taking in packing their products, the Houston Post truly says: “They could scarcely engage in a reform with greater pos sibilities of profit. It is a matter of com mon knowledge that Texas products measure up in quality to those of Florida and Cali fornia, yet the bad methods’of packing have given shippers in other states an advantage in securing the right of way in the big mar kets. It is as important to have products graded, assorted and uniformly put up in neat, standard-sized packages as it is to have quality in the product offered.” This idea has made substantial progress in Georgia in recent years and has added largely to the State’s agricultural income. Long ago, indeed, the Fruit Exchange gave national distinctiveness and enhanced value to the Georgia peach crop by taking care to grade and pack it according to well conceived standards*. Pecan growers followed along he same line, much to their advantage and !o that of their industry. The State Mar ket Bureau has done good service in encour aging the adoption of these methods in the shipment of any and every kind of farm prod uct. In truth, there is no more important phase to the far-reacning function of farm marketing than that made up of sorting, grading and packing. It is largely by at cnding properly to these matters that the rower builds up a reputation for quality nd service, and realizes the best profit on :at he has to offer.

THOUGHTS ON TELEPATHY By H. Addington Bruce EXCEPTING by those who cling stub bornly to the waning materialistic view of man and the universe, the ac tuality of telepathy is no longer in question. That mind can communicate with mind through other than the recognized organs of sense is now accepted as an established fact even by many among our most eminent sci entists. But to accept telepathy is one fhing. To understand its mode of working is another. Such savants as Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir Wil liam Barrett, Professor McDougall, firm be lievers in telepathy, confess themselves re duced to conjecture when asked to explain the process by which telepathic messages are transmitted and received- At first thought wireless telegraphy would seem to offer a satisfactory analogy, so far as the explanation of telepathy is concerned. In wireless telegraphy, as is well known, a powerful instrument sends through the air vibrations which so act upon another instru ment, propery attuned, as to cause sounds interpretable into intelligent language. Simi larly it might be deemed possible that in every human being there exist brain centers so organized as to be capable of sending and receiving “thought waves.” But against this simple explanatory theory several objections present themselves. In the first place, it is hard to imagine any “brain center” powerful enough to gen erate “waves” capable of traveling with in telligible distinctness for any greater dis tance. For, as scientists have long since proved: “All radiant forces when freely diffused through space diminish in intensity as the square of the distance increases betweeen the source and the receiver. As a thousand feet apart the intensity is a million times less than one foot apart.” Yet there are on record well authenticated instances of telepathic action between people half the world apart. To attempt to account for these on a “thought wave” theory would indeed appear to be futile. Besides, it is not symbolic bounds that are transmitted in telepathy as in wireless teleg raphy, but words, ideas and feelings. Nay, in telepathy there is sometimes a vivid pres entation of entire scenes occurring hundreds of miles away. To explain such ‘presenta tions as a product of “thought waves’* is veritably to attempt the impossible. So that the scientists who accept telepa thy as proved are more and more coming to the opinion recently voiced by Sir William Barrett. “It is difficult to conceive how an idea or impression can be telepathically conveyed except by the direct influence of the trans mitting mind on that of the percipient, an operation which suggests an excursive action o fthe mind, or soul, or subliminal self; indeed, one can speak of excursive action in a process which is probably independent both of matter and space.” ■ Which, of course, is as certainly guess work as is the “thought wave” theory. Only it does seem to be gueswork somewhat more closely fitting in with the puzzling facts which still challenge explanation. (Copyright, 1920, by the Associated News papers.) FANNIE HURST By Dr. Frank Crane Fannie Hurst, a well-known writer, re cently has come into newspaper notice by announcing her marriage to Jacques S. Dan ielson, a pianist and composer. There is no newspaper story, of course, in an ordinary marriage announcement; but this was ex traordinary for the reason that it was not publicly made until the fifth anniversary of the wedding. Miss Hurst, professionally speaking, or Mrs. Danielson, suburbanly speaking, took this occasion to declare some of her ideas re marriage which are worth thinking over. For these five years the two have main tained separate studio apartments, have averaged two breakfasts a week together, have never given an accounting one to the other of the time spent apart, and now make declaration that their arrangement works, and that they are perfectly satisfied. Miss Hurst says she was led to this be cause “nine out of ten of the alliances I saw about me were merely sordid endurance tests overgrown with the fungi of familiarity and contempt.” She did not desire to subject her marital bliss to the strain' of over-familiarity, wran gling over social engagements, one dragging the other out and the other going yet hating it, and so on. In other words, this couple made another attempt to solve the old problem of a bal ance between personal liberty and domestic ties. How well they will succeed remains to be seen. We wish them luck. Miss-Mrs. Hurst-Danielson, however, calls attention, by this publicity, to a real point of inflammation' and sepsis in married life. For there are undoubtedly many couples who have grown to hate each other simply because of enforced over-intimacy. Many a fine woman has been ruined by having her personality drowned in a mo lasses ocean of bourgeois sentimentality. Her husband lives for her, loves her, works for her, does everything in the world for her, except the one thing that would keep her love alive—that is, go away and let her alone once in a while. And many a genuinely good fellow has :oen irritated into going wrong by too stren uous and constant a dose of uxoriousness. The golden mean is hard to find. Every married pair is seeking it. It is a most deli cate problem, to be worked out almost en tirely by the personal equation. “Strait is the gate, and few there be that find it.” Here’s hoping Fannie has. (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES •Johnny recently paid his first visit to his aunt’s farm in England. The little boy had not been there long before he came running to her in great excitement. “Aunty,” he exclaimed, with the air of one imparting grave news, “I don’t think this is a very nice place!” “Why, what makes you think that, John ny?” was her amused reply. “Well, aunty, the public houses must open very early,” was the startling rejoinder. “Nearly all your hens have the hiccups al ready this morning.” “Supposing I give you your supper,” said the tired looking woman, “what will you do to earn it?” “Madam,” said the wanderer, “I’d give you de opportunity uv seeing a man go t’roo a whole meal without finding fault wid a single t’ing.” The woman thought a minute and then told him to come in and she’d set the table. He was very affable and free with his opinions, was this young Englishman, but that was about all he was free with. To the man who had carried his bag to the country side station he had given one whole penny. Notwithstanding the forlorn look on the man’s face, he still continued to chat in an easy manner. “I shall never forget,” he continued, “the splendor of the scenery when I was in Switz erland. It was an education to see the sun rise, tipping the little blue hills with gold—” “Ah!” interrupted the man who had toiled with his bag. “Them ’ills was luckier- than me, weren’t they?” WHAT TIME IS IT? By Frederic J. Haskin. ZION CITY. 111., May 15.—This little town, forty miles from Chicago, may fairly be taken as a vision of the future in America. While the nation at large has made only n beginning in the conquest of vice by abolishing alco hol mor° or less completely, and making a few vague threats against tobacco, Zion City, ever since its foundation, has prohibited not only tobacco and liquor, but also pool rooms, movies, and various other de vices which tend to distract the mind of man from righteousness and sal vation. As Zion is, so are the proud cities of Chicago and New York to become. Zio.n City may fairly be call ed the moral model and capital of America. Most of us, who are thirty years old or more, remember the days when John Alexander Dowie founded Zion City, and in 1903 led the hosts of his faith to New York to regen erate the fallen city. In 1906, Dow ie was suspended from the church he had founded. He was charged with misuse of investments, tyranny, polygamous tendencies. ■ and some other things. Since then, the public at large has heard comparatively lit tle of Zion City, but it still lives and thrives under the leadership of Wil bur Glenn Voliva, who has succeed ed to the post of general overseer of Zion. He is regarded as an excellent business man and a powerful exhort er with a special gift of invective. The town manufactures lace goods, electrical supplies, office, milling and baking supplies, and candy. At the last census it had a population of nearly 5,000. . Good Morals and Bad Roads The moral perfection of Zion City is generally admitted and admired, but it has a certain physical imper fection which has recently brought it into conflict with many of its neighbors. This imperfection is the mile p- ■> half of highway which passes through the city. It is a part of the road from Chicago to Milwau kee, which is an excellent road ev erywhere except along this stretch through the town of the Golden Rule. There it is as the roads of a century ago, full of bumps, hollows, and deep an.l treacherous mud holes. The motorists who pass through Zion are bitterly resentful of this road. They have even talked of boy cotting the Zion City industries un less the roads are repaired. The feeling against the road through Zion has reached the point where it can only be expressed ade quately In the same strong language that Voliva uses in the pulpit. A year ago the general wrath of th > motorists came to a head in the Illinois state legislature in the form of a resolution Introduced by Mr. Shurtleff, calling for an investiga tion of Wilbur Glenn Voliva and the Christian Catholic Apostolic church. On April 22 of this year, the Illinois supreme court decided that such an investigation was illegal, and this was regarded by the Zionists as a great victory over the devil. lacked the Legislature The Saturday afternoon after this triumph was the occasion of a great celebration. There was a parade through the streets, with much sing ing and shouting and waving of Am erican flags and the blue, white and yellow Zionist flags. A huge vol ume of sound made by horns, drums, human voices and the beating of tin pans, rose to the heavens over Zion. This last celebration of the Zion ists is also the occasion for a lit tle rejoicing among the motorists. There are rumors that now that Vol iva has triumphed over Satan and Mr. Shurtleff, he will Improve the roads just to show that there are no hard feelings. It. is even said he intimated, when the investigation seemed imminent, that if he were spared the expense of being invs tigatd he might be better able to afford to make his thoroughfares more seemly. Citizens of Zion, when questioned about this, give various answers. One said that the roads could not yet be improved because there was not enough money in the town treasury. Another said that ■work was about to be begun upon the roads. God willing, because at last the town could afford it. Still another seemed to think, that the state had better pay for the im provements, since the roads were mainly used by outsiders who add ed little to the pure and exclusive atmosphere of the village. But the general feeling is that the supreme court decision has brought a double blessing to humanity in these parts: it has defeated the devil and made certain a smooth thoroughfare to Milwaukee. Only Chimneys Smoke If this is the case Zion will prob ably be visited by a greater num ber of tourists in the future. These tourists should take warning. When they enter Zion they had better mind their p’s and q’s. If they are caught smoking pipes, cigars or cig arettes. or chewing tobacco, they will be arrested and fined twenty-five dollars each, and the fact that they are American citizens will be no protection. And as for having alco holic beverages concealed about them —the sad fate of the two trucks from Milwaukee is too well known to be repeated here. But it will be re peated as a warning nevertheless. These two trucks, careening .over the troubled terrain of Zion, arolused the suspicions of an officer of the law. They were stopped, their contents were investigated, and beer was found —gallons and gallons of beer bound for wicked Chicago! It was all promptly emptied in the sewers of Zion and the devil suf fered another knockout blow. Zion is a town of little frame houses, and a row of small stores. The Zion Home, a hotel, is a huge yellow edifice, and the administra tion building opposite is of the same hue. The home of the late John Alexander Dowie is the most preten tious dwelling in the place. It is of bright red brick with many angles and sharp projections. Its beetling and irregular roof of vivid green tiles is decorated in a zigzag design of raw brown and yellow. The Shiloh tabernacle is, of course, the main objective for sightseers. It is a huge white shed and stands a short distance from the village. It seats nearly seven thousand people and it is generally pretty well filled. It contains one of the larg est pipe organs in the world. Its walls are decorated with designs made of crutches, canes, hot water bottles and stretchers which used to belong to invalids and cripples who are said to have been healed in the faith. These designs are varied by some in swords and guns relin quished by converts to pacifism, and surgical instruments, Masonic em blems, and cigars given up by doc tors, lodge members and smokers re spectively, who have been led to see the error of their ways. There is always' a caretaker in the building who will show you around very courteously and answer youri questions to the best of his ability —and he will not fail to point out to you the advantages of becoming a convert to the creed of Zion. HAMBONE’S MEDITATIONS Peaks lak de harder Some folks fights I>E MO' WUSSER. DEY GITS LICKED. 1 MllF3lb<' Copyright, 1920by McClure Newspiper Syndicate, THURSDAY, MAY SB, DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON OUR LOVED AND LOST The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer BY DOROTHY DIX IT IS the custom to speak of our dead as those whom we have lost. People will tell you with broken voices of friends whom they have lost through death. A stricken-faced woman will go suddenly white as she speaks of the husband she lost on the battlefield in France, or through some dreadful disease. A mother will mourn the babe she lost on whose grave the grass has been green for thirty years. But we make no greater mistake than when we think of the dead as lost. It is life, not death, that robs us of our beloved. Death seals them to us forever and forever, beyond all possibility of loss. There are no friends closer to us than our dead friends. We may see their faces no more, but our souls are in constant communion with them, and they are the friends whose love and loyalty we never question. Does some piece of good fortune come our -way? Our first thought is if only John and Mary were alive, how they would rejoice in our success. We see how their eyes would shine with joy in our joy. We hear their hearty congratulations that have in them no spice of malice or envy, as those of. our living friends so often have. Does misfortune lay our heads Jn the dust? I “Ah,” we cry, ‘‘if only Jonn and Mary were here to sorrow with us in our grief, to bind up our w’ounds in the healing intment of their sym pathy! We should not weep alone if only death had spared the friends on whom we could count without fail.” Do we need help? We call the roll of our living friends with doubt. It is to the memory of the dead that we turn with certainty. We should not have asked o John in vain. Mary would not have withheld the helping hand. We should not even have had to ask them for assistance, for their love would have divined our want. Nothing can come between us and our dead friends. Their hearts are knit to ours with a bond that stretches from time to enternity, and that nothing can break. The friends whom we have lost are those from whom we are separated by indifference,, by treachery, by self seeking, or greed, or some unworthy act that has killed our love for them, and made them far more dead to us than if they were buried in the grave. The friend whom we have lost is the one who poisoned our little mom ent of triumph by some petty peal ousy. The friend whom we have lost is the one who callously passed us by when our hearts were wrung with grief, or who turned his back upon us when w r e cried to him for help in our need. , , x , The friend whom w’e have lost is the one who forgot old times, and old ties, and old favors when he made money or achieved some place of power, for the man or woman who move from Poverty Flat to Easy Street are often farther away from •us than the distance between the two worlds. CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST Approximately 40,000 men, women and children took part recently in the “Jeulah” or “Redemption” pa rade that marked the close of the extraordinary convention of the Zionists’ organization of America. The marchers carried banners with inscriptions of gratitude toward the San Remo conference for awarding the Palestine mandate to Great Britain. Full-bearded octogenarians linked with school-boys in the long march from Rutgers Square to Columbus Circle. Nathan Straus marched with his son and afterward declared that the parade was a “wonderful success.” White-haired women marched, car rying banners and placards bearing Biblical quotations referring to Palestine. Jewish members of the A. E. F., wounded in service and now patients in base hospitals, rode in several large buses. Jewish sur vivors of the “Lost Battalion” and a division of soldiers -who fought in the Jewish Legion in Palestine were cheered by crowds that lined the streets. Jewish officers of the A. E. F. acted as marshals, directing the parade from horseback. The chief marshals were Joseph Burdoness and Dr. Simon Rothenberg. Supreme Court Justice D. Bran dels reviewed the parade. The march ers included members of trades un ions, professional organizations and men and women from all walks of life. A half holiday was declared on the east side and In many Jewish shops and places of business in hon or of the day. Word received here from London states that two kings with their queens—the sovereigns of Belgium and Great Britain—were among the distinguished personages who at tended the wedding of Lady Cynthia Curzon, daughter of Earl Curzon, the foreign secretary, and Lieutenant Oswald Ernald Mosley, M. P., in the Chapel Royal. The affair was one of great splen dor, outrivalling anything of a simi lar nature in London in recent years. Besides the royal personages there was a host of diplomats and other prominent people present. An additional notable touch was lent to the occasion by the fact that the king and queen of the Belgians had come in an airplane on Saturday from Brussels for the express pur pose of attending the wedding. They were week-end guests of Lord Curzon. _____ At the afternoon meeting of the field workers of the Inter-Church World Movement at Cleveland, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., announced that he would duplicate his previous gift of $250,000 to the fund. This sum makes a total of $6,500,000 given by the Rockefeller family to the citizens’ fund of the Inter-Church and the Baptist New World movement. Another gift was by a man whose name was not announced. He said he would give all that, he had In the world—a piece of timberland. Dr. S. Earl Taylor, general secre tary of the fund, who serves with out pay, said that he would give another SI,OOO. Other secretaries made similar pledges. PARIS.—So good is the French crop outlook for this year that agri cultural experts believe the wheat harvest will come close to meeting the nation’s full requirements for the following year. This improve ment, as compared with last year, is due in some degree to the increased use of motor-driven farm equipment. According to official figures, more than 12,350,000 acres have been sown with wheat. The department of ag riculture estimates that this should produce 26,000,000 bushels, leaving only about 3,700,000 bushels to be imported. aLst year the home crop was so small that 13,000,000 bus -els had to be imported. The bumper crop is expected to save France no less than 6,000,000,- 000 francs, and may even have a no ticeably favorable effect on the ex change situation. The battleship Oklahoma left Nc./ York recently for Key West, to be held for immediate service in Mexi can waters. A full war-strength crew of 1,800 men and a landing force of 100 marines were aboard. Spokane, Wash., ranking as the , forty-eighth city of the country in 1910, had a decrease of 198, or 0.2 per cent in population in the past ten years, and now has 104,204 peo ple, the census bureau announced to day. The Washington city thus became the first of the cities in the class of over 100,000 thus far announced to show a decrease. Newport, Ky„ and Joplin, Mo., both cities of the 30,000 class, are the next largest cities which have shown decreases. Between 1900 and 1910 Spokane’s population increased 183,3 per cent. Chico, Cal., whose census returns were announced today, shows an in crease of 5,122, or 136.6 per cent over 1910, The present population is 8,872. . The friends 'Whom we lose are those who show the yellow streak under the stress of life; who turn traitor; who prove dishonest, and who shatter our ideals of tkem. Those whom we have once loved and honored and can no longer love and honor we have, indeed, lost though 1 they still be living,, but the noble dead we never lose. They are part and parcel of our lives until the vefly end. No one would underestimate the misfortune of the wife whose hus band is taken from her by death. To be bereft of the strong arm that sus stained her,. and the tenderness and love that enfolded her is truly a sorrow’s crown of sorrow to a wom an. But the woman w'ho has known a good man’*? love and faith, and who can count over the happy days of her life with him, and live in the bless ed memory of the joys she has known, can never really lose her hus band even though he has passed be yond the veil. Though unseen, he abides ever with her. His wisdom still guides her. His presence hov ers about her fireside, and she has only to send her thoughts after him into the far country to which he has voyaged, to summon him back, and to hear once more the caress of his voice, to see the love light in his eyes, and to know that dead or alive he is still hers. The woman who loses her husband is the wife whose husband tires of her, who ceases to care for her, and whose heart strays off after another. The woman who has lost her hus band is the fat, grizzled common place old wife who sits alone of nights, eating her soul out in impo tent jealousy, as her husband phil anders with girls young enough to her granddaughters, and spends on them the money sheh slaved in the early days of her wifehood to help him make. She is a million times more to be pitted than the widow who weeps above the coffin of a faithful husband because she has lost both husband and her respect for him. She has not even a me;ji ory to console her. And the mother whose children grow up to be selfish and cruel and neglectful, who show her that they consider her a burdeniand that she is unwelcome in theft’ homes—are not these more truly lost to her than the dead babes whose clinging 'arms she can always feel about her neck and whose warm little mouths are forever in memory clinging to her breast? Many and many a time thv only child a mother has left to hen is the one that lies in the little mound in the churchyard. Happy those who are only separ ated from their loved ones by death, tor they shall never lose them. Dorothy Dix’s articles will appear in this paper every Monday, Wed nesday, and Friday.
