THE RICHES OF CHRIST
Ye know the grace of our Lord

It is said that Senator Norris re

Diamonds are dirt cheap in Rus

Secretary Weeks Is convinced from
the defense day showing that the na
tion could raise an army of two mil
lion men on short notice. There is
no question about the men, if the
war department can only induce con
gress to keep enough officers In the
regular army to train them. It has
not been very successful In doing
that so far.
:o:
In China, the minieter of educa
tion Isurging young Chinese schol
ars to go to Europe to finish their
education, instead of to America. His
opinion is that college courses here
are too easy. The real education
Chinese get in America is not from
textbooks, however. Instead. It's the
knowledge they pick up of Ameri
can institutions.
o:o
John W. Davis has been noisily
welcomed on his western trip. He
has spoken to shouting hundreds
from the train. He has been seren
aded by students, deafened by march
ing clubs, assailed by handshaking
politicians. All of this ia. normal
and gratifying to a candidate. But
the thing that is likely to linger
longest In his memory, the Incident
that will remain most vivid, will be
the country dinner at the- Nelson
home in Missouri.
o:o
,Mr. Davis upon this square-deal
platform strikes straight from the
shoulder at the existing robber tar
iff, which is enormously increasing
the cost of living for the Benefit of
favored manufacturers. He Is strik
ing at the betrayal of public inter
ests in Washington during the Hard
ing and Coolldge administrattone. He
is striking at all the forms, not of
wealth gained honestly, but of pred
atory wealth, which through lobbies
and commissions and official appoint
ments, gains advantage of the mss
of the people.

General Pershing, as. the leader
of this country's-' largest and most
effective military force, ia thus de
nied the place in the public mind
which under other circumstances
would have been accorded him. But
when the military history of this pe
riod Is written and the work of Gen
eral Pershing Is seen in the right
perspective hia service to the nation
and to the world will be appraised
at its true value. And In the mean
time Citizen John J. Pershing will
carry on. He retires, he tells us,
from the army only. With him to
his new work, whatever it may be.
he will carry the grateful affections
of millions not only in hit own coun
try but In Europe.
MR. DAVIS' SQUARE DEAL
In his Denver speecH, John W.
Davis gave a definition of the much
abused phrase, "100 per cent Amer
ican," which la a classic. Quoting
from Jefferson's Declaration of Inde
pendence with regard to the Inalien
able rights of men, he defined the
100 per cent American as one who
believes in "human equality, per
sonal liberty and popular sovereign
ty." Amplifying the definition, he de
fined equal rights as equality under
the laws, in which there must be no
discrimination between man and
man. Equality or opportunity, Dy
which every man shall be free to
work out his own destiny in life,
Ana personal nueny uura uul mean
license. It means restraint insofar
as the respect for other men's liberty
is concerned and "the freeman is he
who lives within the circle of his
r a J .1 a. S V.A I
own ngais auu uuea uui iuu
equal rights of his neighbor." Pop
ular covereignty means that our gov
ernment is and must always remain
a government of, for and by the peo
pie upon equal terms; that is, of all
the people, regardless of sections and
classes
Upon thi3 foundation of all free
eovernment and sound progress. Mr.
Davis outlines a sauare-deal program
in which there ahall be maintained
hones government between the rich
and the poor, the capitalist and the
waste earner. There shall be no dis-
crimination in favor of any man or
set of men.
Naturally, under this square-deal
program he denounces corruption in
office and the betraval of Public in-
rcr r, hohnif "withv male-
factors." He condemns privilege of
all kinds and esDecificallv tariff
plundering, which enriches the few
at the exoense of the many. He
condemns any alliance between par-
ties and plutocarcy and piratical
spoilsman of any kind.
WHAT AFTER FIFTY?
A writer in The Christian Century
inauires how a successful man
should spend hia life after the age of
50 and asks such pertinent questions
as these:
"fihrttilil cnrli tt man larpplv nTlil

John II. Clarke, late justice of the
United States supreme court, attract

der, as he explained, to be free to j
perform certain- public services he I
had in mind and "to become acquain-lG.

It was the same spirit that actu-1

human nature confronted by a pis-
tol. then work hia observations into

Unless this lad is kidding the po
lice, he is in earnest. In , which
event, he appears to have a form of
the malady known as graphomania.
Graphomania is a definite and
recognized form of insanity.
Thely
victim has "the urge to write," Just
as' the kleptomaniac has 'the urge
to steal."
Unfortunately, the graphomaniac
usually turns out nothing but drivel,
Still more sadly, he ocasionally finds
a market for It. In your reading ;
you've encountered some terrible
punk 6tuff, which strikes the fancy
of lunatics holding editor's Jobs.
Magazines get fiction manuscripts
by the freight carload. The writing
business is extremely overcrowded.
Despite this competition there'8 al
waya a Bhortage of "the right stuff."
Most of the flood of stories come
from graphomaniacs.
It's debatable whether all writers
aren't graphomaniacs,. even the bril
liant, capable and successful ones
For writers are like other people
fundamentally; writing Is a business
just as much as selling sausages or
measuring cloth; and, to succeed, a
man has to be more or less of a mon
omanlac on the subject to which he
devotes his time

There's more to it than the fact
that the man thinks he can make
money out of the commodity that ap
peals to him hypnotically.
Observe the Webster definition of
'mania": "Violent derangement of
niind; specifically, a form of insan

acceleration of the flow of ideas, and
motor restlessness. Excessive excite

If that definition doesn't blanket

GOVERNMENT AS AN EMPLOYER
The Bureau of Statistics, Depart
ment of Labor, announced In June
that cost of living was 69.1 per cent
over the 1913 prices," states Luther
Stewart, president of the Nation
al Federation of Federal Employes
"Government workers, even with
their bonus of $20 a month, receive
a wage of only 15 per cent over their
pre - war wages. I cannot go into
any department of the government
but what some married man with a
family to support will ask if there
isn't some relief in sight."
Little as the people of this coun
try like the prospect of increased
taxes, they would rather pay more
than allow a hard-working class of
public servants, such as the mail
carriers, less than their due. The
mall carriers have a real grievance.
Mr. Coolidge's veto of the postal sal-
aries biU Is not forgotten; the rail
way mail association and other .or
