A Line o' Cheer Each Dav o' the Year.
By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
First printing of an original poem, written daily
for The Washington Herald
THE CROW.
The crow is not a nightingale.
His caw i: not a sonp
s a musician cloth he fail
K'cn though his notes arc strong.
His voice is hateful, harsh, and drear.
But O, ye Critic man,
Despite his awful lack of ear
He does the best he can.
nd that's about as much as jou
Could ask a nightingale to do! 1

in one hand and a rope in the other," savs Hucrta
The rope would have to be longer than the one
luerta came to the end of a year ago.
suit brings optimism to the whole business world
the inference is not unnatural that the govern
ment has bepn engaged in the wrong business.
Neighbors of a number of New York million
aires have complained to the authorities that their
country estates are breeding places for mosquitoes
The trouble seems to be due to the fact that the
mosquitoes are not "homers."
British residents are leaving Mexico because
of an anticipated crisis with this country. It
would seem to be even more neccssarv for Ameri
cans to leave, for with our own citizens safe the
situation would be less difficult tor the administra
tion to handle.
A Xcw York chef has discovered a way with
a few strokes of a knife to remove the bones
iroin a shad before cooking it. At the present
rate of depletion of the shad in these waters, it i
is onlv a. question of a few vcars hctnrc the cln i's
discover will be useless.
The Xew ork police claim thai
German's Plea of "Mistake."
The German note, relating to the torpedoing
of the American steamer Gulflight and the at
tack by an aeroplane on the American steamer
dishing, is characterized by the same lack of
frankness and sincerity that marked the com
munication concerning the Lusitania. It goes to
the length, even, of questioning our claim that
a German aviator dropped bombs on the dish
ing, though admitting that an attack was made
on a ship which the German aviator was "forced
to consider as hostile because it carried no flag
and bore no recognizable neutral markings." It
concedes, too, that it is "possible that the ship
attacked was the dishing"
The note is a complete confession that Ger
man submarines attack merchant ships without
warning and without any attempt being made to
discover their nationality in total disregard of the
demands of this government that American lives
and property be safeguarded and respected. More
over there is riot the slightest intimation that such
practices will be discontinued. c arc informed
that both attacks were "mistakes," for which
flimsv explanations arc offered. c cannot shut
our ejes to the fact that American lives arc today
in peril on the sea from a repetition of these "mis
takes " Germany herself tacitly admits it. The
note is ccrtainl not calculated to soften the tone
of the new communication which President Wil
son is now engaged in preparing.
Mr. Wu Sends Us a Message.
Our genial and philosophic globe trotter, Sam
Blvthe, who is now n I'ctrograd studying the
vodka question, is reported to be ready to launch
another reform when he gets back to the United
States. Last summer when tlie dog days drove
men to drink, Sam surprised his old associates and
gladdened the hearts of the prohibitionists by writ
ing a little tract entitled "Cut It Out." Sam had
joined Big Bill White on the water wagon and he
was considered a big asset for the prohibitionists.
Xovv S.un has made another discover, this time

wanted to know "how old arc vou." when in Wash

ter who has ceased to record his birthdays.
Mr Wu confided his secret to Sam Blvthe. It
is vegetarianism. 1 ating nothing but vegetables
and nuts has reversed the old order which we have
been taught to believe was the law of nature, and
Mr Wu is now growing vounger with each revo

accorded full recognition in the decision of this
most important of all the corporation suits. TheJ
expectation that the government will appeal to
the Supreme Court is doubtless well founded, but
in the meantime "big business" the country over
is celebrating the District Court's decision as a
final victory. The response has been instantane
ous in every quarter, and estimates of the bene
ficial effect can scarcely be exaggerated. The in
dustrial world, set free, looks optimistically to
the future, prices advance to more nearly meet
true values and there is a new light on the finan
cial horizon.
The full benefits of this breaking of the
shackles of big business cannot be reaped until
the war in Europe ends. The business states

tries into the markets of the world, where they
had only begun to conquer when the law was
invoked to curb their enterprise and activities,
and their victory at home comes when all Eu

war, arc prostrate. When peace abroad and
confidence at home are restored big business will
resume its interrupted progress and with it in
dustry and commerce will advance to new and
greater achievements.

The Magic of Mind.
B JOHN II. IIAHRY.
UCH as we hear of the wonderful feats of
surgery nowadays, the most important of
all scientific feats are not performed on the
bodies of human beings.
The bodies of human be
ings, as we all know now, are
of very little account.
What is of account in hu
man beings is mind.
In fact, mind is cvcr thing.
Take care of the mind and
the body will take care of
itself by taking itself out of
the wav.

It is only when we can
forget our bodies that we
can be said to be pcrfcctlv well. Such moments of
freedom from self-consciousness we all recognize
as among the best in life. Then we don't think
about our bodies at all We are free to give full
plaj to the mind. We know what freedom
really is.
Unhappily there arc those who never seem to
achieve this freedom We sometimes sav that
they arc the slaves of themselves But they arc
rcallv slaves of their bodies.
Whether wc arc aware or unaware, it is the
slaverv of the bod that wc arc all trying to
escape.
Sometimes wc think that wc have escaped. But
pcrsisfcutlv wc go back
On the other hand, wc see those about us who
act as if thev jhad abandoned themselves to their
bodies, as if they cared never to escape.
For such wc often express abhorrence if wc
arc thoughtless or unkind
It is our unkindncss and our thoughtlessness
that makes us forget how closely we are associat
ed with those slaves of the body, how intimatelv
our slaverv and our freedom arc bound with their
Irccdom and their slavery.
In many cases it is wc ourselves who have
helped to forge their chains for them.
And in forging their chains we have strength

According to figures tabulated bv the Home
Club the average salary of the ,,0.j8o emplovcs
of the civil service located in this city is if 1,135
per annum. The poorest paid of the workers in
the classified service arc those in the State, War
and Navy Building, where the average is only
$500 a year. The explanation for this probably
is that only the minor positions in these depart
ments are included in the civil service. The
hgurcs, however, fully ixplain why the govern
ment clerk is no longer regarded as a plutocrat
and plainly indicate the necessity of a readjust
ment of salaries to meet modern conditions.
To avoid the payment of interest, taxpayers
of Ncy ) ork heaped nearly $12,000,000 into the
city treastiry'onc day 'this week. Of this amount
the largest .single payment was made by the Xcw
York Central Railroad Company, which sent a
check to tht? office of the receiver of taxes for
$1,804,100. The next largest amount came from
the Pennsylvania Railroad Compaq-, which paid
$869,644. These payments covered only the
taxes paid by these companies on property owned
by them in the Borough of Manhattan. Through
out the day hundreds of persons stood in line
.and the recording of their payments required the
services of a large corps of extra clerks. This is
a pretty good indication that business conditions
in the Empire State are not altogether hopeless..

Big Business Set Free.
The United States District Court for Xcw Jer
sey in deciding against the government in its suit
lo dissolve the United States Steel Corporation
has done more to et the countrv's business free
than Congress or all the State legislatures have
been able to accomplish, in spite of promises to
perform and boasts of achievement, since first
politicians undertook to hack their way to place
and power through the great industrial structure
that American brains, courage and enterprise had
erected. The court rules that the corporation, in
.spite of its gigantic proportions, has not violated
and docs not violate the Sherman anti-trust law
and that neither by its organization nor by its

What is education, anvvvay'
This word we use sn often that we forget
what it means
Often we confuse education with going through
school or college W c speak of college graduates
as educated women and educated men because they
have taken college degrees.
But I know many such women and men who arc

more.
