This Is undoubtedly the trouble
The Christian religion, which these
"Christian Nations” have accepted at;
a misty Ideal, or a sweet theory has
been set aside from the life and prog
ress of the world as Impractical and ro
mantic, Ho unchristian are our “Chris

not bad Christiana.
It will be remembered, doubtless,
that when President Wilson endeavor
ed |o follow Christian Ideals In deul-
IflK With Mexico, be was scored as an
Impractical dreamer, a theorist and a
sentimentalist. We saw it pointed out
on all sides that personal righteous
ness and national righteousness meant
very different things
There are no Christian nations, ns
yet, though there are nations in which
Christian people exert a potent In
fluence Civilization Itself is not
christianised. Culture menus some
thing very different froti. gentle living
and kindly and unselfish thinking:
yet we never meet a truly Christian
man or woman, without realizing that
Christianity Is a liberal education. If
In these thirteen centuries, Christian
people had been gathering together
and forming Christian governments,
this wntdd be a better world to live In
today, but Material Oood Is the god
of the world's nations and Kurope Is
making her sacrifice before him at
this time.
CONGRESS AND THE PEOPLE.
The hope that congress, when It re
assembles. will give vigorous but de
liberate discussion to the mater of
tat teasing our national defenses la
generally expressed by the press of
the country.
This la a matter upon which every
clMevn it the United States should
do sums thinking. For a long time we
have been running along In a happy
go-lucky fashion flying upon the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans its out coast
detensea, out these groat bodice of
watei are no lunger the protection
they used to be, they ate now great
highways, open which friends ana loea
alike ate passing. The world ia
growing crowded *.«i competition be
tween nations In the acquisition and
holding of territory -a swift.
Expanding nations me a menace to
their neighbors. Here in America w'e
have not chosen to lejliae that war
was a possibility, but today we are
face to face with the osloundlng state
of affairs In Kurope. We may diag
nose the trouble aa we pleuse, w e may
point out the fundamental errora
under which the nallona of Kurope are
pursuing their own und their neigh-
ruin, but we cannot get around
Uie fact that peoples' races and hu
man nature, being as they iu«, we are
a long way from being assured of a
continued state of peace. lhi what we
may to avoid war, it will not be pos
sible to guard ourserves against It
with any real ease of mind until we
know that we are prepared to meet It.
If the American people refuse to in
terest themselves at tills time In the
inaltsr of securing self-protection,
they may have a far mute severe
awakening to tha neoeaity than will
be eoothlng to their national pride.
Let as remember that congress will
discuss this question and act upon It
with vigor and decision proportionate
to that of the people. Public senti
ment rules in these matters, as in
alraast every other matter In this na
tion. What we need le an arouaod
sentiment for our collective needs.
With even lit tie man. thinking
mostly es himself and his own little
family and community needs, we won't
get much appreciation of the great
needs of the whole people With the
spectacle of Kurope before us. can
ws not forget, for s time at least,
these little questions and look about
for the needs of the whole country 7

“Oh, Boy, Don’t You See What You Arc Losing?"
The day that Frank Rot back on the
job after his “spree” a letter came from
a large construction company In the
West asking for bids on a large amount
of material. This particular line of stuff
came through Frank’s department and

The letter came to Helen to be copied
and when she siw the figures, she real

mistake, for she knew what the goods
cost. She went to ask Frank about it,
but found he had gone out. It was then
nearly closing time and she knew the
litter must be sent at once. As she did
not want any one else to know' about
Frank’s mistake, she resolved to delay

"Mademoiselle Rose, 11 the officer
stammered, "you must do as I say. You
know that I love you and that I would
not do you any harm.”
“You will have to kill me first!”
As the officer walks towards the
safe the girl Jumps away from the
table and picking up a revolver hors
his way defiantly.
"You are a true Frenchwoman,"
Brummer exclaims admiringly, but at
the same time he grasps the band in
which she holds the revolver. She

of the safe her arms across her chest.
"Now shoot the girl you say you

He looks at her dazed, then slowly

his own forehead, fires and drops dead
at her feet.
