DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Christ, as the Dayspring, comes to reveal God to humanity. In Him dwelteth all the fulness of the Ge-head, bodily; He is the brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of His person. Dr. Robert R. Meredith. Turkey is Europe's ulcer. The weather is God-made; why complain? Where there is need of heroism; there is a hero. Justice should be blind-folded, but not near-sighted. Why not say pleasant, inspiring words instead of cruel, unkind ones? You will never have occasion to regret the forest fire that you do not start. Automobile speedway races should be divested of all unnecessary hazards. Rockles driving should be penalized heavily. Mine-inspection laws in this state should be enforced stringently. All mines should be as safe as it is possible to make them. If every driver were careful; if every pedestrian were careful; if all who use the streets and highways were careful, there would be comparatively few serious traffic accidents. If— The only deadly persecution of Christians on the face of the earth comes from the Turk. The Ottoman is five hundred years behind the times. He should not be allowed to cumber south-castern Europe. WHY VOTE MORTGAGE ON YOUR HOME "It would amount to this should the Water and Power Constitutional Amendment carry," said Leslie S. Smith, general manager of the Kings county packing company, in addressing the Guernsey farm bureau meeting. "If there are four members in your family, you would find that it had placed a mortgage of six hundred and forty-four dollars on your home." California now has a net debt of $15.66 per capita, as compared with $6.47, which is the average per capita net debt in thirty-three other states, as shown by the last available statistics. The bonded indebtedness of California is today greater than that of any other state except New York and Massachusetts. "If the Water and Power bonds of $500,000,000 are added to the present debt of California, the state debt would represent forty-five per cent of the aggregate debt of all the states in the Union. Your individual per capita of this debt would be $151.67, a jump of $145.90 from your present per capita, and the sum per capita applies to your wife, your child and your baby. If there are four members in your family, the family portion would be $647.04 constituting a first lien on your property—for state bonds are a first lien on your property, and your portion of them is a mortgage on your home." WHEAT CROP OF CANADA IS ENORMOUS In the midst of their own rejoicing over favorable crop prospects, Americans will regard with pleasure the good news which comes from Canada, to the effect that the wheat crop of the western provinces of the Dominion will be heavier than for several years. A grand total crop of wheat in western Canada in 1915—the last year of heavy yield—was 325,000,000 bushels. This year's harvest, it is estimated, will equal, if not exceed this. It will require 60,000 outside harvesters to assist in gathering this great crop. If every driver were careful; if every pedestrian were careful; if all who use the streets and highways were careful, there would be comparatively few serious traffic accidents. The only deadly persecution of Christians on the face of the earth comes from the Turk. The Ottoman is five hundred years behind the times. He should not be allowed to cumber south-eastern Europe. A mushroom expert is delivering lectures to amateurs in New York City on the subject, "How to Know Mushrooms." Nothing is really easier than telling the difference between mushrooms and poison fungi. Eat the thing you pick. If you die, it isn't a mushroom. Great wealth should be used to accomplish great good. Riches should be held in trust, as it were—the possessor regarding himself or herself as a steward, for the proper distribution of the wealth possessed. Teach children to respect the rights and the welfare of others. Teach them, in their tender years, to be considerate of others. This kind of training develops men and women of unselfish nature, who are a joy to the world in which they live. Encourage boys and girls in their school work. Do not take things for granted in that connection. Do not be indifferent to the pluck these bright youngsters are manifesting in their schoolroom efforts. Show the interest and appreciation that will inspire them.

It will require 60,000 outside harvesters to assist in gathering this great crop. The wheat-producing areas of the western world are not so extensive that real rivalry exists—particularly not in North America. It is true that Argentina, in South America produces much wheat, and because of the lower cost of production down there, Argentine wheat can be sold in Europe at a lower figure than would be profitable to the North American producer. But in the United States and Canada the cost of production is approximately the same, and American and Canadian wheat goes into world markets on practically the same price basis. Deliberate spreading of false news reports should be punished severely. This oftentimes is a cruel imposition and at best is an arrant fraud upon the public. Tremendously good and important news is that which comes from Chicago and other Eastern centers, to the effect that the railroad strike, as affecting several big systems, is settled. This portends early settlement of the strike in its entirety. And this pressages a fall and winter of business and industrial revival and better times.

DEALER Accept Sunday STER, Editor EDITORIAL AGE ON Abe Martin New York Letter by Larry James Price NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—It is not only women who go in for strange pets. In one of our suburbs, there lives and commutes a man whose devoted follower is a gander. For five years, neighbors have grown accustomed to seeing the gander follow its master about on his evening strolls, jump into the automobile with him and remain quietly at his side while they drove about town, and show all the other attributes of a devoted dog. The owner hasn't yet taken his pet into town with him on his daily trips, but that may come in time. Even an nickel is not too small an amount to get the thought and effort of those among us who hate to miss an opportunity to avoid honest payments. Ticket choppers at the subway stations say that they have to be on constant guard against the men and boys who attach a ticket to a rubber band up their sleeves and then go through the motions of dropping it in the box, while it flies up out of sight, instead, ready to do eternal duty. The Theatre Guild will open its season at the Garrick on October 9, with the production of the play from Czecho-Slovakia, "R.U.R." by Karel Capek. The English version is by Paul Selver and Nigel Playfair. "He Who Gets Slapped" will close at the Garrick on October 7 and reopen on the ninth on the Subway circuit. After four weeks it will start on the road Richard Bennett will return to the cast to play the tragic clown.

General depression usually is outflanked by the strategy of old Colonel Shortage. It isn't a mere accident that pessimism comes after liver complaint in the dictionary. The best cure for sensitive feelings is a little less petting and a little more spanking. The chief trouble with Greece appears to be too much ambition and not enough Venizelos. Still, if there were no henpecked husbands, who would consume the sardine catch each year? Homicide seems terrible until you think of the driver who whizzes past and then slows down to let you eat his dust. Inability to cuss cramps a woman's style badly when a guest leaves wet soap on a window sill. As a rule, a man's insignificance is in exact proportion to the importance of his telephone voice. Connubial bliss consists in agreement concerning the relative importance of cigars and millinery. We have a friend whose idea of being a he-man is to crunch the ice that remains in his soft drink glass. The boy of sixteen may be uncertain about a few things, but he is firmly convinced that he understands women. Allens must remember that it is a melting pot, not a jack-pot; and in any case, we don't permit strangers to deal. What makes a country hotel bed bug madder than vacation ending?

Lanker, works like a beaver and draws $247 wages for 11 days' work, digging coal for the Oak Valley Coal Co., near Summerville, Pa. If he were a mine operator and making this much money, it would not attract attention, being taken as a matter of course, under the present system. While Lanker's pay seems big, it's a free country and anyone who wants to dig and load five fullsize gondola cars in 11 days for $247 has only to apply at the mine employment office. Later on he would learn that the over-work shortened his life. Also that the work is not steady. JUST JOHN Dad—"Mary, who is that in there with you?" Daughter—"It's just John, Papa."

The first exhibition if interior decorative art will be held at the Waldorf, for one month, beginning September 23, by the Art-in-Trade Club, composed of workers in the art industries of New York. It is not to be an exhibition of chairs and fabrics and rugs, as individual creations, but a showings of sidewall treatments and rom corners, just as they would be done in your own home by an interior decorator. Eleven-year-old Rose Reeve, from Chicago, has arrived in New York to take up the study of law. She rushed from the fourth grade in school to the first year of college at West/n University, London, Ontario, and is already now to go on and be admitted to the bar before she is 15, if such a thing can be allowed by the state laws, when that time comes. Now it's the hookah! Cigarettes have become an old story. New York is taking to the Turkish water pipe, the "hubble-bubble" as it is generally known. Such in the news from the Turkish cclony down around West Washington-at. The young men of that section scorned the hookah, or hubble bubble long ago in their steps toward Americanization and smoke cigarettes, with avidity, while the older men and some of the older women smoke peacefully away on American pipes. But to native New Yorkers, men and women both, they say, there has been a big sale recently in the elaborate smoking equipment, which includes carafes, tubes, and charcoal nad various other impediments. Press agents are cold-blooded people. Here is Mabel Normand's publicity man, suing her for salary, attaching her trunks and 'doing all sorts of unfriendly and annoying things just to get his salary, when she has written him numerous notes telling him how much she thought of him. Think of what many young men would give for a note from a movie star declaring "You are beloved by me!" But to Perry M. Charles, the words have not sufficient value even to meet a mere two thousand dollars he declared due him. "Say it with cash" is what Mr. Charles replies in effect to all of Miss Normand's kindly words, and her trunks are being hold at her hotel here in consequence of his materialist trend Portance of his telephone voice. Connubial bliss consists in agree-ment concerning the relative importance of cigars and millinery.

Allens must remember that it is a melting pot, not a jack-pot; and in any case, we don't permit strangers to deal. The best way to handle Turkish atrocities is to use a very long amber holder so you can't smell them so. Well, if Lloyd George can ignore George Harvey and get away with it perhaps he can write a book without great risk. The atom isn't the smallest thing. There is the American tourist in Europe who curries favor by knocking his own country. Once people gauged a man's poverty by the number of his dogs; now they gauge it by the number of his jitney accessories. Still, we can't see that long skirts in combination and bobbed hair are any more incongruous than a bald head in golf pants; Correct this sentence: "I want your support," said the candidate, "but I tell you frankly that the common people give me a pain." WISE AND WITTY Successful men are covered with scars. Being prompt is as much a virtue as being honest. Loafing is the only thing that really tires a busy man. Fat men seem to get more out of life than fat women. Congress is slowly but surely "regulating" liberty out of existence. Most of the applause given to speakers is supplied by the least intelligent in the crowd. A girl with many admirers never quite gets over it when she marries and finds she has to be satisfied with one. Anyway, what was a hair or two to the man who was served by the o.f.b.

PANTOMIME by J. H. Striebel COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING NORTHCLIFFE'S IDEALS — New York Evening Post An associate of Lord Northcliffe once remarked that he found journalism a profession and left it a business; yet his whole career showed that, while doing much to commercialize journalism, he still respected its professional aspects. Salisbury parodying the famous statement that the Pall Mall Gazette was written for gentlemen by gentlemen, said that the Daily Mail was written by office boys for office boys. The fact was that it and the Evening News were written by very clever journalists, whom Lord Northcliffe treated with respect and loyalty. When he took over the London Times he did not hasten to transform it, as his imitator, Sir Arthur Pearson, transcribed the Daily News and turned out that veteran journalist E.T. That cannot be said of some men who use London newspapers to advance personal political aims or as mere toys. Lord Northcliffe mentioned the Westminster Gazette as an outstanding example of a paper long controlled by men totally ignorant of the trade. It was formerly owned by Newnes, whose Tit-Bits gave Lord Northcliffe, when he was only Alfred Harmsworth, his first inspiration and later by Sir Alfred Mond, certainly no journalist. Now it is in the hands of Lord Cowdray, and English readers mourn the fact that Alfred Spender, who gave it distinction, has been pushed aside. The "Cocoa Press" first came under fire twenty years ago, when George Cadbury, the chocolate manufacturer, acquired the Daily News and turned out that veteran journalist E.T.
