DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR TRYING OUT NEW MEANS OF TRANSPORT And yet I come,—for Thou hast bidden and said; But not to weary Thee, or specify A wish, but rather with this prayer instead: "O Lord, Thou knowest,—give it or deny; Fall up the cup of joy, or pass me by." —Susan Coolidge. Congress gets its bad reputation because of the bad men in it, the good men not seeming to have much to say. In all that contributes to the purity and sacredness of the home and to its protection against defilement, all well-disposed persons should be as one in purpose. Unless one sings or hears the national air with fervor and earnestness, its deep sentiment is lost upon one. "My Country, This of Thee," should come from the heart. The best thing that can be said of any man is that he is honest and upright. No man is what he should be unless he be honest. No brilliance, no showy achievement — nothing stones for lack of honesty. There is abundance of material for firm plots of morally clean, wholesome nature. There is no excuse or justification for writing impure scenarios or producing objectionable, demoralizing pictures. There should be cast in November, an honest, conscientious, thoughtful, well-digested vote by every person eligible to the franchise. One is not just to one's self unless one is just to all others. In justice reacts upon the person who is unjust. The American government and people should manifest more than usual. Difficulties of transport in German Southwest Africa suggested to an officer in the British forces there the construction of what is coming to be called the road rail to distinguished it from the railroad. It is merely a light railway used in connection with a wheelway of concrete macadam, or other material suitable for automobiles. The two strips of this wheelway are eighteen inches or so wide and far enough apart for a motor truck to run on them; the rails may be either narrow gauge or broad gauge, but for cheap construction the former is chosen, and the rails are set inside the parallel wheel tracks. After saying that "the advantages of this plan for emergency use in a new country are obvious," the Springfield, Mass., Republican comments as follows: Any army's motor trucks, for example, can be used for hauling on a metal track—a string of loaded cars, and when not so needed can be used otherwise; the motive power is not tied up to a railway. But the system was found also to be so economical as to be useful in some countries and regions as a substitute for more expensive railways. Its merits are low initial cost and the increased tractive efficiency gained by the use of rubber tires on a suitable surface. When the railway was in its infancy there were skeptics who declared roundly that a locomotive would not work, that its wheels would simply spin around on the smooth metal. This fallacy was soon exploded, yet the margin of gripping power is not so great as could be desired. It is claimed for the roadrail that the traction effort per ton of axle load, with solid rubber tires is 1320 pounds as against 344 for locomotives on rails. On the other hand as compared with motor transport the traction resistance for cars running on rails is from 6 to 20 pounds as against 56 to 200 pounds for road. Thus the roadrail takes the best of both sides. There should be cast in November, an honest, conscientious, thoughtful, well-digested vote by every person eligible to the franchise. One is not just to one's self unless one is just to all others. Justice reacts upon the person who is unjust. The American government and people should manifest more than passive interest in the crisis in the Near East, particularly as to atrocities by the Turks upon Christian peoples. This Nation should interpose vigorously to prevent a repetition of the horrors at Smyrna. Old friendships are sweet because time has proven that they are not fickle or am Faithful. They who have been steadfast friends through the vicissitudes of many years have in their friendship a treasure beyond compare with any other earthly possession. Gasoline consumed in the United States during August totaled more than $23,000,000 gallons, a new record for quantity use. The amount consumed is disquietingly near to the quantity produced, and according to reports, the country's reserve supply would last only a little more than one month, at normal rate of consumption. The army aviator who attained a speed of 206 miles an hour in the air has set a record that not soon will be common. That is more than three miles a minute—swiftness that is almost incredible. And yet, in all probability, man's ingenuity eventually will devise machines capable of flying 300 or 400 miles an hour. In truth, there is no limit, in reason, which may not be attained by flyers as motors are improved and as the air-resistance of airships in flight is reduced to the minimum. AID FROM AMERICA VERY GENEROUS The United States consistently refuses to become involved in the political aspects of the Near East problem. But neither the government nor the people of the United States have been or are indifferent to the sufferings in that quarter of the world. Other nations may parley as to the political present and future of southeastern Europe; but while such parleys proceed, the big heart of America expresses itself in munificent offerings of assistance to the multitudes who are made homeless and helpless by the unspeakable cruelties of the Turks. This liberal giving is characteristic of America. This country gives wherever and whenever there is need of nature. There is no excuse or justification for writing impure scenarios or producing objectionable, demoralizing pictures. David Lloyd George is engaged in one of the most desperate political fights of his entire thirty-two years of public life. His enemies are pouncing upon him with almost savage ferocity. Attacks are coming from every quarter. But the game little Welshman does not finch. In one of the most masterly speeches of his political career, at Manchester, he stoutly defended his Near East policies and pointed to results for his vindication. He boldly put his case up to the masses, saying: "I cast myself on the people whose cause I have never betrayed in 32 years of public life." Britons admire a plucky fighter. And such a fighter Premier Lloyd George is. There are many in this country, as well as in Britain, who do not approve of all the policies and methods of Mr. Lloyd George. And yet there are millions who regard him as one of the greatest constructive statesmen of modern times. History will give him high rating, particularly his record during the World war. It must be said to his credit that he has accomplished a vast deal of good for Britain and for the world. And his critics well might pause and ask: who else, in the place of Mr. Lloyd George, confronted with the same problems and obstacles, could or would do better than he has done and is doing? That latest "revolution" in Mexico has dwindled to proportions unperceivable by the naked eye. President Obregon does not temperize with troublemakers. Nor does he countenance cruel reprisals. Truth is, Mexico is being governed exceedingly well and it is to be hoped that soon the city of Mexico government may be recognized formally by the government at Washington. In its economic life the United States is beginning to heal, once, for all, the wounds caused by the World War and its demoralizations. There are substantial recoveries in business and industry, and building construction is proceeding in phenomenal volume. From present indications, this country should go forward to many old, is showing us ready he stands for American shipyards.

(Copyright National Service) the people of the United States have been or are indifferent to the sufferings in that quarter of the world. Other nations may parley as to the political present and future of south-eastern Europe; but while such parliies proceed, the big heart of America expresses itself in munificent offerings of assistance to the multitudes who are made homeless and helpless by the unspeakable cruelties of the Turks. This liberal giving is characteristic of America. This country gives wherever and whenever there is need of relief. It asks not the color or the nationality of the distressed. Enough to know that there is distress to be relieved. Government and people have written golden deeds into the history of the world in the matter of generous giving.

EDITORIAL WED Subscription Entered a Another Harriman Rises in Transportation Son of Late Rail King Fast Taking Dominate Place in Ocean Shipping WILL the son of H. H. Harriman become an eminent figure in the maritime world as his father was in the refined world? This question is already being asked in shipping and financial circles in New York. William Averell Harriman, the man, has been in the shipping business but a few years. A biographer of the great railroad builder tells the story that when Edward H. Harriman was asked what interested him most in life, he replied, "Well, I think it is to plan some big piece of helpful work that everybody says can't be done and then jump in with both feet." How successful the late Harriman was in doing big pieces of work in the railroad world is, of course, well known. Now comes the son into the field of ships, doing what he believes is the best and most important work he can perform, namely, helping to build up ocean transportation under the American flag. In this, W. A. Harriman, who is only thirty years old, is showing such success that already he stands among the leaders in American shipping. W.A. Harriman; Chairman of the United American Lines; and the Luxurious Transatlantic Liner "Resolute" One of the Thirty-two Ships in the United American Fleet Only two years ago the first steam-among the finest of modern ships, efic coast.

Abe Marlin COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING A CHAPEL IN THE HOME From the Los Angeles Time; Any suggestion for combating the campaign of atheism now being waged, not only coarsely from street-gutter soap boxes, but subtitly among the educated with polished rostrum, must be welcome to all who cherish American ideals on home life and reverence for God. Any honest attempt to inspire a closer communication in all ranks of society between the practical and the spiritual affairs in everyday routine, deserves the earnest attention of clergy and laity alike in every American religious institution. There are public places without number where evil can get a ready hearing; there is one place where all this evil can be effectually discounted—and that place is the home. But enough is the demagogic raving against all things honored or halowed by long association with what is highest in human thought; but the home without religion is a more serious issue to America than ignorant artist or intellectual agnostic. If every home were a chapel dedicated to the service of good or better still, if every home contained a chamber or closet or nook or corner set apart for the service of God—this nation is space for a requisite chapel. Family life today sorely needs the touch of a hand to raise it above the crass materialism that at times seems likely to engulf it. Publicly the churches are valiantly fighting the evils that accompany our marvelous material and scientific progress. But, unless these champions of right living receive sympathetic support in the homes of the people, atheism and anarchy will still leave their sinuous and sinister trails in the dust of the national highway. A campaign to popularize this plan of private worship is particularly timely just now when religion as a gentle, intimate, healing home influence is losing ground in the general scramble for novelty and excitement. Novelty and excitement have their place in every normal career — but not to the exclusion of all moments devoted to the cultivation of the flowers of the soul. Instituting bathrooms in every home has made the American people the cleaniest in the history of the world. What might not the institution of home chapels effect? Cleanliness is akin to godliness.

(Copyright National Newspaper Service) WISE AND WITTY Some kisses taste good some don't, while others are just dauby. The things you are afraid of are the things you don't understand. Faith and forgetfulness are highly essential to the enjoyment of hash. Wise is he who knows when he has enough and works hard the rest of life not to get more. Better observance of the Sabbath could be secured by teaching fish how unholy it is to bite on that day. Love, smoke and bass drums are hard to hide. Good news is no good unless you can tell it to somebody. Chew your food more and the rag les, and it is you for a long life. Honesty is that quality that takes advantage of a legal lophole to evade taxes. My hat is off to the woman who can keep a man where he belongs without his knowledge. Socialism has more followers in private than in public. The telegraph editor is thankful that they stopped the war. Constantinople is too long to fit in the headlines.
