A teacher who believed in co-operat ing with the parents of iter pupils 'called at the house of a small boy whom she had caught in a number of falsehoods in order to take counsel with his mother. “I can't see how you can say that,” the boy’s mother objected.

S. W. Straus Company Bulletin. There are Indications that the building industry may n cei\e something of a set back in the near future in connection with similar conditions watch may result in general business lines. While fundamental conditions ate sound, and while the outlook Is favorable to a long and prosperous rra In this country, it would not be surprising if we passed through a transitory crisis, the severity and duration of which depends on the dot* rmii.ution of the people to give up their present false standards of living and .settle down to a solid period of hard work and thrift. The pronounced housing shortage throughout tire country would indi cate a long period of active building, but conditions are stub that the law of supply and demand may cease to function for a while. The tr*m.r.duu'i shortage of material wealth of all kinds as a result of the war and '.i'.c vast amount of inflation has been augmented by an orgy of waste, rxi.avagar.ee. and. speculation.

What the country needs is more factory buildings more homes, more apartment houses, more office structures, and more hot* is, as well as a greater supply of commodities of ail kinds. Nothing but the widespread practice of thrift will bring this about, and it is apparent that our people will not learn tills lesson until tic > hu\c been given the stern warning of a temporary backset in business. When such a warning does come the Intelligence ai d pa'.rtol ism of the American people will be asserted, conditions soon w-i.l t < r elitid and t.ie country will face the most prosperous period it has witnessed in i great many years.

No country can be continually prosperous when it is habitually thriftless.

To Battle for Ohio. j From ttic New York Evening Pert. General Wood’s invasion of Ohio is in accoi dunce w.th the ti uditions of that state. Ohio is the place where repubi.cai.s f ght U.eir bitterest wars among ihemselves. The long struggle Unwien the McKinley and the Foraker wings of the party hail national con.-jeqm-nces of the highest importance anil ceased only with the death of ihe load is. iiun came a period of comparative peace, culminating in a series of democrat.; victories. This ill -omened tranquillity is nov. disturbed hy a mange combination of events. General Wood enters the lists from outride the state to contest fot it with a "favorite son,’* Senator Harding, in iak:ng this course lie is doing no more than McKinley’s managers did in IS9t>, wbtn.they challenged Senator CuHorn's claim lo Illinois and won a complete triumph in t! <• convention of that State. But 1912 has intervened since those historic days, and it is this factor that gives the Wood move its novelty. Instead of going after delegates in ihe familiar fashion. Wood forms an alliance with James R. Garfield, one of the most prominent survivors of the famous "tennis cabinet." Harding feels compelled lo counter by an alliance with a candidate who lives us far from Ohio as a presidential candidate cun live—Sei’.ator Johnson, who ran for vice president, with Roosevelt in 1912. Here is a clear recognition that the former progressives are to be reckoned with—not in the old way, however, as a separate body, but as a potential force in the republican party. The Ohio primary law binds delegates that are elected to a national convention to vote in accordance with the preference expressed by the voters, in order to allow for eventualities, tiiis preference may be expressed for a second choice as well as a first choice candidate, the fiist choice to be voted for so long as he is a factor in the balloting. Wood is taking advantage of this provisions by running lists of delegates who are announced as favoring Garfield for second choice, while Harding, according to the latest reports, is playing a double game by using Johnson as second choice in progressive strongholds and General Keifer in stand pat districts. These arrangements create as mixed a situation as even’Ohio voters can desire. The one thing fairly certain Is that Harding will not go to the Chicago convention with a solid delegation from his state behind him. But just how many delegates can Wood take away from him? That Is the question to be answered by the campaign now beginning. Why do Wood’s managers stir up partisan bitterness by making war upon favorite sons'.’" Is it because they are1 despot ate and inclined to take any and all chances for delegates? Or do they feel something of the confi dence that led Mark Hanna—with encouragement from anti-Cullom repub licans of Illinois—to stage a doubtful battle the Issue of which went far to settle the result at St. Louis? Whichever be the true reason, the eyes of the country will be upon Ohio for the next two months, observing with keen interest a political battle royal. * . .. ........——---— The Merchant Marine. From the New York Times. In giving views about the American merchant marine almost every public man avoids details. All agree that we should have cargo carriers under the American flag in sufficient numbers to transport American products to all parts of the world, it is like the question of continuing to pay rent when a man should own the house he lives In. Why pay the British, Norwegians and Japa nese for cargo space when wo can build and operate our own ships? The war gave us our opportunity. Ships were built by the gross to carry troops, mu nitions and supplies to Europe, and the war over the building program was con tinued in order to found an American merchant marine and put the Stars anti Stripes in ports where for 40 years it was rarely, if ever, seen. Some questions of prime importance remain unanswered. Can the ships be sold cheap enough to tempt firms and companies to buy? What government control shall there be over private oper ation, If any? Would it be expedient for the government to lease some of its ships, retaining title? Is government ownership to have any consideration? Can officers bo provided for as large a merchant marine as would be able to compete with the British before they got the cream of the ocean carrying trade? Can crews be obtained and kept at living wages, American standards? The American merchant marine is in an inchoate state, waiting for congress to do something, with congress reluc tant, backing away, fearful. The prob lem must soon be dealt with cour ageously and with resolution. One thing Is certain—if those (fueslions relating to operation cannot be answered satisfac torily, the sun rising on the American merchant marine will be obscured by clouds. Great Rift Valley. From the London Times. The great Rift valley, as It Is called by Prof. J. W. Gregory, extends over one sixth of the circumference of the earth. It begins in Lebanon, follows the canyon of the Jordan and the Dead sea, and crosses a high "divide” to become the deep fjord of the Gulf of Akaba between the highlands of Edom and Sinai. The Red sea, a great trough 11,000 feet deep, measured from the summit of its roceky wall to the sea botton, continues it ‘be tween the high deserts of Nubia and Arabia to the narrow neck of Bab-el Mandeb. It strikes across Abyssinia to Lake Rudolph, runs almost due south through British East Africa arid tra verses a range 7,000 foot high to Lake Natron, in what was German East Africa. Where It crosses the Uganda railway its walls are so steep that the trains used to be hauled up or lowered by cables. It is continued by the rift which holds Lake Nyasa, an inland oceau whose surface is 1,600 feet above sea level, with a depth of 700 feet below Sea level. iTtom Nyasa it runs down the Shire valley, crosses the Zambesi and ends in the Indian ocean at the Sabi river, in Gazaland. A minor branch forms the lower Kile and a gigantic arm stretches from the upper end of Nyasa through Tanganyika, the second deepest lake in the world, its bottom 1,600 feet below sea level, to the upper Nile, We are accuetomed to think of valleys as hav ing been formed by erosion, but the Rift valley is clearly the result of sonic more catastrophic agency. There have been differences of opinion as to the mode of its formation and as to its age. The steepm :s and apparent freshness oi its sides are such that some observers have placed its formation within the historical period. But the discovery of fossil mammals, of types long extinct makes it impossible to regard the foun dering of the Dead sea as coincident with the destruction of Sodom and Go morrah. Force of Habit. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. “He came here from Pltsburgh.” “Yes.” "Can't get used to daylight.” "No?” "Every time he leaves the office he looks around for a switch with which to snap off the sunshine.” The One Who Suffered. "Son,” said old Kloseman. "you must give up smoking; it affects the heart." "Don't worry, father; my heart's all right.” “That may be, but it gives me palpita tion every time I .see ye*' light one of those expensive cigars.” St. Helena Prospers. From the Salt Lake Tribune. St. Helena, for years and years known to the general public only as the spot of Napoleon’s exile, has suddenly come to the front as a place of commercial importance. It has won prominence owing to its strategic value in connec tion with African west coast trade. A port of call for no fewer than seven big steamship lines, St. Helena is made the converging point for sailings back and forth between Europe and South America, North America and South Africa and the far east. As proof of the commercial regard which St. Helena has gained, it is only necessary to say that a bank has been established there. It is said to be the first time that international banking fa ; cilities have been provided for tile busi ness which enters the port of St. Helena, j The new bank is a branch of the Na tional Bank of South Africa, whose ! headquarters is at Pretoria.
