What Spells Success.
Every success achieved by a legit
imate business enterprise In any
community is a benefit to the whole
community. Every logltlmato busi
ness enterprise that succumbs to fail
ure Is a detriment to tho community,
Thoso declarations will, of course,
striko many as trlto truisms, yet
they are too commonly Ignored or
forgotten.
A community interest in tho suc
cess of its business men and business
establishments calls for community
co-operation to build them up, and
to protect them against efforts to
tear them down. It will bo concodod
that every community Is afflicted
from timo to tlmo with business ven
tures that it would bo hotter oft
without, piratical schomes. blue-sky
speculations or plain fraudB and
swindles, which should not bo coun
tenanced, much less encouraged.
But tho merchant, tho manufac
turer and tho Jobber, Investing real
capital, employing labor at fair
wages, serving customers with hon
est goods, is a valuable assot, not
only for hlmsolf and thoso directly
lnterestod with him, but also for his
neighbors, including his competitors.
It is a common practico for a city
to offor inducements to sccuro tho
location of sonic- now mercantllo or
industrial Institution, and if, it is
worth whllo for It to hold out at
tractions for business capital, it
muBt be oqually worth whllo to
strengthen, or at leaBt not needlessly
to weaken, tho business it already
has.
A motto ouco a favorlto in tho
commercial world won "Hvo and lot
llvo." In a community ot intorest,
however, it is not enough to let llvo,
but tho demand is to help live. A
man who is always running tho other
fellow down cannot mako much
headway hlmsolf. Tho town whoso
pooplo decry, their own Industries
and Industrial captains must havo
its growth retarded, whllo tho placo
where all Join In tho forward pull
will spell success and kcop noar tho
head of tho procession.

On Swatting the Fly.
Swatting files, Improving sanitary
conditions, taking much out-of-door
oxerotso, should conduco to good
health and long life, a goal toward
which Americans aro striving with
natlvo zeal. Ono of tho evidences ot
progress is that with 12,000 Amorl-
cnan soldiers encampod along tho
coast border of Texas for flvo
months, not a caso of typhoid fever
has dovelopod, whereas in 1808 our
troops had hardly landed at Tampa
until thoy wero disastrously Infected.
Yellow fever in tho United States Is
practically extinct and other germatic
maladies aro fast losing ground.
In tlmo at this rate wo shpuld
bogln to roallzo tho results of our
crusado In tho longevity of tho raco.
But wo need to Hoop our fly-swattors
going. According to experts in tho
government oorvico at Washington
our fly population, of which wo havo
no exact census, costs us approxi
mately 9157,800,000, to say nothing
of tho loss In lifo. That is wo pay
out $5,000,000 In handling tubercu
losis cases attributable to tho fly and
$70,000,000 In treating tho victims
ot typhoid fever duo to tho samo
cauco. Ab a carrier of intestinal
fever and summer diseases and a
transporting agency of dysentery,
tho fly scientists say must be hold
accountable for an outlay ot $37,-
800,000 for tho cure of thoso di-
oases. Thero is a total of $157,-
800,000 chargeable against tho fly.
Even though theso figures bo
slightly exaggerated, they afford
amplo argument and incontlvo
to Bwat tho fly whenever wo get tho
chance.
The Church's Introspection.
"Of tho 1,900 Baptlat churches In the
state or Missouri, i,wu aro not wprtn a
darn." This free utterance In tho. pulpit
of the Third Baptist church before a
large congregation might have arouaod
p proteat hod It not been that tho speaker
was tho veteran leader of Mlaaourt's Bap.
tlst theology, Rev. Dr. J. P. Greene of
Liberty, Mo., president of William Jewell
college. fit Louts Globe-Democrat.
Addressing thousands of men and
womon constituting tho international
convention of Christian Endeavor at
Los Angeles, Dr. J. A. MaoDonnld,
editor of the Toronto Globe, formerly
a minister and one ot tho most con
spicuous churchmen ot tho Proaby
terian faith in North America, said,
that the church at present is domi
nated by the rich and satisfied and
does' not readily adapt itself to the
solution of world problems as It
should. Ho urged tho nocesslty for
articulating present needs with old
methods and doctrines as the first
stop toward tho assertion of proper
powor.
Thta introspection on the part of
the church, itself, instead of being a
sign of discouragement, should be
tegarded as precisoly tho reverse. So
long as the church recognizes tho
need of self-improvement and is not
afraid ot self-examination and crltl
clsm, it has reason for large hope
and achievement. Tho day of de
spair for It would have come if, with
theso faults, it lacked the leaders to
expose them. No Dr. Qroene or Dr.
MacDonald is criticising or scolding
the scribes or Pharisees or hypocrites
In the church today as severely as
Christ, the founder of these men's
church, rebuked them.
Vfoo unto you, Pharisee, for ye lovo

greeting in the markets. Wo unto you.
orlbcs, Phariaeea and hypocrites, for ya
ore a graves wjjtch appear not. and tus
men that walk over them are not aware
of them.
And on other occasions ho cn!Ie
them "whlted sepulohers." It must
bo raid, though, that iu many direc
tions the church of today Is rooohing
out as if conscious of its responsibil
ity and opportunity for servlco in the
solution of world and worldly prob
lems, and this is tho best evidence
of tho valuo of Us introspection.
Glass Houses and Stone.
Viowed in Its worst aspects, what
is the Mexican revolution as com
pared with the incessant war of na
tional extinction in the Balkans?
Suppose tho scenes shifted and the
strugglo for tho survival of tho fit
test wore being dragged out on our
southern boundary line and the Mox
ican family furoro enacted along tho
Bosphorus, what would be tho ro
Bpoctlvo attitudes of tho United
Stat os and thoso European powers
now condemning us for neither
recognizing tho Huorta regime nor
interfering with Mexico's Internal
eruption.
Nations no more than individuals
living in glass houses can afford to
throw stones. Truo, tho Mexican
uprisings aro disturbing to lives and
property of all nationalities in tho
troubled zono, but tho Incessant Bal
kan slaughters for national extinc
tion aro of far graver import. Eu
ropo will havo to let us qulot our
own troubles in our" own way.
Correct Pronunciation.
Correct pronunciation, llko most
othor virtues, should begin in the
homo. It may bo too lato to leave
its beginning to tho school. Tho
averago child is much more apt to
get his basic and lasting impressions
from his parents than from his
teachers. Careless pronunciation
around tho family tablo invariably
has its effect upon tho youngster.
It Is oxcoodlngly Important, if wo
aro to attompt to maintain anything
llko a standard of English, that the
homo bolp tho school all It can In
giving tho child the earlier bent.
Amusing experiences often present
thoraselvos in the effort of a toacher
to convince a child that a pronuncia
tion loarned at home is wrong. The
child, naturally, thinks father and
mothor know as much, as or moro
than tho teachor and consciously or
unconsciously ylolds but slowly to a
different Instruction.
Ab a matter of fact, not Infre
quently othorwiso woll-educatod folk
aro found holding to orronoous pro
nunciations acquired in tho homo,
which all their later schooling- and
knowledgo havo not supplanted. Tho
original lmprosslon often amounts
to a deep-rooted and permanent
provincialism.
William Bookofeller Redivivas.
It may bo taken for granted that
an anxiouB public will bo glad to
know of tho rocovory of William
Rockofoller, tho hero of Jekyl Island.
Only a few months ago trembling
pity was excltod at tho spectacle ot
a dying man, with palsied hand and
feeblo voice, forced by flat of tho re
lentless Pujo investigating committee
to cough up a fow facts as to how ho
and two or threo other amiable old
gentlemen camo nearly to monopolize
all tho monoy In tho land.
Tho other day the directors of the
New York, Now Havon & Hartford
railroad, ot whom Mr. Rockefeller is
ono, held a meeting at whloh, accord
lng to press accounts, there was much
loud talking and pounding of tables,
and abovo tho din of other voices and
fists those of William Rockefellor
raug out loudest. So if there be
mournors still weoplng at tho bench
for Uncle William, let them dry their
oyos, for his good right arm has not
lost Its strength.
A great cartoonist onco mado tho
late Mr. Harrlman Bay, "First, bo
Buro you have a good lawyor, and
then go ahead until somebody stops
you." By substituting tho word
"doctor" for "lawyer" that might
mako a most appropriate motto for
certain other distinguished kings of
commerce
Canadian Commerce and Cotton.
The figures show that Uncle Sam
is still the leading foreign merchant
In Canada, that he supplied 05 per
cent of Canada's imports in 1912,
while England supplied only 20 per
cent. It is no wonder the mother
country la hastening her agents over
to the Dominion soliciting now or
ders, studying Canadian tastes and
domands with a view ot bettor satis
tying them.
It is. probable, though, that whllo
England may bo able to increase Its
trado with its greatest province, It
can never hopo to surpass tho United
States. Our proximity, facllltatlpg
communication, and tho similarity in
American and Canadian methods ot
business, manners ot dress and liv
ing in short, our ability to give the
Canadian moro tor his monoy than
England can, afford us an advantage
that Johnny Bull may hardly hope
to overcome.
And yet there Is room for larger
American trado in Canada. It has
been pointed out that though we
supply 05 per cent ot Canada's im
ports, we are-behind in the cotton
business there, whereas we should
lead. Canada bought 60 per cent ot
Its imported cotton goods from Eng
land last year, or $14,378,664 worth,
und only $6,974,016 worth from us.
Yot England depends largely upon
us for its raw material. The cotton
situation, In the United States lg a

; erullar one. A few years ago it J
developed that, with all our great
southern cotton flolds, we wero not
producing up to tho increase in de
mands for raw cotton, and, as a mat
ter ot fact, the cotton gins, even In
tho south, whoro manufacturing has
t&kon a strong hold, woro mutlplylng
at a faster rato than tho acrcago de
voted to the growing of the plant.
Tho result was, according to this re
port, that New England nnd English
mills wero finding it difficult to get
sufficient supplies from tho cotton
grower to enable them to meet tholr
demands for manufactured goods.
No ono would suggest that the
solution lies In curtailing southern
manufacturing; It Is obvious that It
lies, so far as tho United States Is
concerned, In a moro extensive pro
duction of cotton. Admittedly the
south could, and should, intensify,
as well as extend, its cultivation, and
when it does our foroign exports
may bo counted on to tako up tho
increase
Tho Baron's Paradox.
"Oh wad somo powor the gittlo
gio us, to sco oursel's as others see
us," sang Uio famous Scotch bard;
yet occasionally a stranger from
abroad looks in on us and then lets
us view ourselvos through his
glasses.
Many will recall tho tour ot this
country, In tho interest of tho world
peaco movement, winter before last,
of that noted French publicist, Baron
D'Estournollcs Do Constant. Ono
ot his public addresses was delivered
at Lincoln, to which ho refers In tho
volume now prlntod, relating his ex
periences and impressions in Amer
ica. Freely translated from the
French, this is what the baron says:
Lincoln 1 a paradox. X do not well
croup tho reason for Its existence as a
state capital. It has a comparatively
small population, about 30,000 Inhabitant,
whllo Omaha, tho principal city ot Ne
braska, has two or throo times a rrtany
pooplo, and Is far-famed by the im
portance of Its meat packing Industry
and Its smelting resource. When tho
decision was mado on the question
whether tio capital ahould remain at
Omaha, the preference was given almost
unanimously to Lincoln, and since then
the legislative, admtnlstratlvo and judicial
activities ot the state havo been grouped
In this secondary center, Just as Spring
field took them away from Chicago,
Baton Rouge from New Orleans, etc.
Another sidelight 1b thrown by tho
baron in his concluding reference:
Having finished my meeting at the
university, I quitted Lincoln after a
bcauttful cold-water dinner, observing a
rule quite common and strictly observed,
here. Without giving It a thought, be
fore rising to speak, I naked tho colored
waiter who was serving behind me at
the tablo to pour a llttlo whisky into my
water glass. Ho looked at me oh, what
a look I was quite mortified. I sought
an explanation from my neighbor, who
smiled and said "Tho temperance of this
banquet astontahes you: to you It aoemB
hypoorlsy. but It la very wise. Xou will

If we begin with a glass of Intoxicants,
and if wo do not set the example, where
will our working people stop, and where

Is lnaldlous.
Porhapa tho baron unconsciously
solves tho problem, and himself fur
nishes tho koy to his paradox.
You Can But.
"To Whom it May Concorn," Pres
ident Van Cleavq addressed a letter
introducing Oolonel M. M. Mulhall,
"In chargo of the most Important
branch of our activities," In sending
him forth on his mission for the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers
in 1908. In that letter President Van
Cleave said:

-SPINNING;.
Helen Hunt Jackson.
Like a blind spinner in the mm
I tread my days;
I know that all the thread will run
Appointed way;
I know each day will bring Its task.
And, being blind, no more I ask.
I do not know the name or use
Of that I spin;
I only know that someone cams
And laid within
My hand tho thread, and said, "Since you
Aro blind, but one thing you can do."
Sometimes the threads so rough and fast
And tangled fly,
I know wild' storms are sweeping past
And fear that I
Shall fall; but doro not try to find
A eater place, since I am blind.
' . 'I I
I know not why, but I am aura
That tint and place
In some great fabric to endure
Paat time and raco
Myi threads will have; so from the first.
Though blind, I never felt accurst
I think, perhaps, thla trust has sprung
From ono short word
Sold over me when t waa young
Bo young I heard
It; knowing not that God's name signed
My brow, and scaled me His, though
blind.
But whether this bo seal or lgn
Within, without.
It matters not. The bond divine
I nevor doubt
I know Ho set mo here, and still
Am glad, and blind, I wait His will.
But listen, listen, day by day,
To hear their troad
Who bear the finished web away,
And cut the thread,
And bring God's message In the sun,
"Thou poor, blind spinner, work Is done."
