WORLD GRAIN SHORTAGE.
Since early this summer The Forum
has, from time to time, predicted that
there would be a world shortage in
the grain supply this year, and that,
although the farmers of North Dakota
might not get a bumper crop, the pric
es should be good. The Forum believes
the prices for grain at the present
time are lower than conditions war
rant.
In this Issue will be found a state
ment from Northwest Farmstead, that
there Is a world shortage in grain to
the extent of 10 per cent under nor
mal. The Farmstead further states
that the northwest, and not the great
grain markets of the world, should be
able, this year, to control the price of
grain.
If The Farmstead is right In its first
conclusion, regarding the world short
age, the latter conclusion undoubtedly
is correct.
Last year ihore were immense crops
throughout the world, and there was
a big hold-over from last year In tho
world's granaries. It is because of the
hold-over that the speculators have
been holding down the price of grain
this year.
But, if the farmers of the northwest
are able to hold their grain to any
rgreat extent, it is the opinion of The
Forum that before another crop is
harvested, they will practically dictate
the prices.
With the
Ipl
abolition of tho
tariff wall
on grains, the Canadian northwest and
the American northwest are practical
ly on a parity, and should work to
gether. It is this entire district
that is meant, in speaking of "the
northwest".
GENEROUS CORPORATIONS.
The three companies that control
the transportation facilities of New
York city appear to be striving for a
record in the matter of benefits for
their employes. Early in the present
year these companies voluntarily in
creased by 10 per cent the pay of their
motormen and conductors and an
nounced the starting of a system of
stores which would furnish all em
ployes with food at actual cost. Two
of these stores have proved so suc
cessful that others are to follow at
once. The companies fitted up the
stores at their own expense and pay
all the expenses of running them. Food
of the very best is purchased at
wholesale in large quantities and re
tailed at from 3 to 10 cents a pound
or quart below the price charged else
where. If any profit is made on one
article, the price of another is lowered
to even things up. If there is any loss
at the end of the month, the company
makes it good. By this system some
thing like 5100 a year is saved to each
family, and where the wage-earner re
ceives from $900
tu $1,000
a year, this
iB a big item.
Another feature of the welfare work
of these corporations is the pension
system by which retired employes are
paid from $18 to $40 a month, and it
employs a capable man to look after
these pensioners to see that they have
comfortable homes and do not lack
personal care in case of illness. Then
a medical inspection bureau is main
tained at the sole expense of the com
panies. Four doctors are kept busy
all the time and when an employe re
ports sick he is at once examined and
cannot be called upon for work again
until the physician certifies that he
has entirely recovered.
There are other things these com
panies do for the good of theLr men,
such as club and reading rooms, lunch
counters, etc., all of which is proof
that a contented and healthy work
man is a real asset to any employer,
and that this is fully realized in the
oases here given.
SUICIDE STATISTICS.
Statistics of suicide given In The
spectator, an insurance weekly, pre
sent many points of interest. The fig
ures relate to 100 leading cities In this
country, and it appears that the num
ber of suicides per 100,000 population
fpr 1912 was 18.8, an improvement on
1911, when it was 19.6.
The rate has fallen every year
since 1908, when it was 21.8, the sue
cessive figures being 21.0, 19.7, 19.6,
18.8. The average rate for the decen
nlum 1902-11 was 19.6. Indeed, the
suicide rate for 1912 was not very
/nuch higher than the average for the
entire series of twenty years from
1893 to 1912, inclusive, which was 18.2
tliis is a better state of things than is
generally supposed.
A noteworthy point brought out by
The Spectator is that, if the cities be
divided into two groups, those above
and those below the 260,000 mark, the
improvement in 1912, as compared
with the preceding ten years, has all
taken place in the upper group in the
cities below 250,000, taken as an ag
gregate, there has been a slight In
crease in the suicide rate, while in the
group of great cities there has been a
marked diminution.
The most striking thing in the table,
however, is the way in which Califor
nia figures in it. The cities are ar
ranged according to their rates of sui
cide for the period 1902-11. the highest
rates coming first and most emphat
ically the great state of the golden
west leads all the rest.
The first three cities arc San Fran
cisco, San Diego, and Sacramento
next come# Hoboken and then there
are Los Angeles and Oakland, with
only St. Louis between—five out of the
top seven being California cities.
When It is added that this is all the
California cities In the list, and that
their rates range from 31 for Oakland
to 50 for San Francisco, as against 19.6
for the country at large, we evidently
have a pretty puzzle for California pa
triotism to clear up.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
Salvage from a Wreck.
Philadelphia Press: The aftermath
oi the terrible wreck upon the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
reveals some interesting details which
were overlooked or forgotten when the
public experienced the first shock of
the horrible fatality. Not only is loss
of life involved by such a calamity,
but destruction of property as well.
Following the collision personal be
longings of much value were strewn
about the roadbed and among the deb
ris. In conjunction with the police a
special detail of railroad men carefully
collected everything of value possible
to obtain, preservlne- records of details
which might aid in identifying lost
objects so that they could be restored
to their owners.
In this manner costly jewelry,
watches, pocketbooks and expensive
apparel valued at $50,000 were recov
ered and restored to proper claimants.
Four hundred pieces of jewelry,
Tang­
ing in value up to $1,000, and thirty
watches are among the thousands of
articles recovered. A force of ten men
was employed for two weeks care
fully classifying the lost articles and
compiling information which would
lead to their restoration to owners.
This illustrates one way In which a
railroad wreck differs from a disaster
at sea. When the Titanic went down
not only did all persons who were not
rescued perish, but all manner of ef
fects went to the bottom of the sea,
There was no salvage whatever.
Good Example.
Boston Transcript: France sets the
United States a good example in the
matter of improving rivers and har
bors and internal waterways in adopt
ing a comprehensive scheme exempt
from local political interference. The
expenditure of the $212,000,000 which
France will devote to this purpose will
be spread over fifty-six years and tho
annual apportionment will be adjusted
to commercial needs. The improve
ment and extension of canals will play
a large part in the application of the
project. France endeavors to turn
every mile of navigable water to ac
count. Of its rivers it makes nuch use
that three-quarters of their total
length is commercially available.
While many other countries allow
their canals to become stagnant, those
of Prance are kept buty. Of ."J, 104
mih'3 of canal water, 3,051 were at the
date of latest reports contributing to
transportation. Not a few of the larg
er French cities and towns count can
als as among their most important
facilities of supply. Paris itself ac
knowledges its indebtedness to canal
navigation.
Boys and th© Farm.
Chicago Record-Herald: The ques
tion of keeping "the children" on the
farms is largely a question of educa
tional reform and to some extent a
question of recreation and amusement.
Not only are good schools, primary
and secondary, essential, but these
schools should serve as social centers
and should have reading rooms,
rooms for games and exercise, rooms
for social meetings and dances. Youth
is youth sound moral advice alone
will not keep boys and girls in the
country. Make It more attractive and
interesting for them.
Triumph of Reason.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Tho
Mexican situation points to a triumph
of President Wilson's policy of peace
and reason. Huerta has been elim
inated from the presidential contest.
He promises to exert all the power
of the federal government to insure a
lair election. The Mexican people will
at least have an opoprtunity to settle
their differences and to set up a con
stitutional government by legal and
rderly means. The greatest moral
force will work towards acquiescence
in the result on the part of all fac
tions in Mexico.
Southern Highway.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: Undoubtedly
the south has been making enormous
progressive strides of recent years,
and its development would be vastly
aided by a great highway open to
travel at all seasons of the year. Such
development would be of large value
t0 the entire nation, and all sections
of the country, especially the North
Atlantic coast and the middle west,
could aid the enterprise profitably.
Lots of Chances.
Louisville Courier-Journal: "No
woman is without the possibility of
charm for someone," says a contribut
or to .a woman's page, which some
brute "will say ig in line with the ob
servation of the sporting editor of the
following page that "the supply of
easy marks never runs out".
Still in the Courts.
Brooklyn Eagle: The estate of
Samuel J. Tilden is again a matter of
litigation. Perhaps if the courts had
not broken the great lawyer's will
they would have saved themselves
much trouble, past, present and to
come.
A REMINDER.
Lives of husbands oft remind us,
That our very best defense,
Is to give in at the outset
Of incipient arguments.

"Ah, Frnnkie Green should teach his dog to lot the pussies alone!" daddy

of a funny story I heard about a little boy whom a friend of mine knows.
"The little boy lives in a beautiful country town, and he has a number of
pets. Just now the favorite is a little black kitten.
"A few weeks ago he went one morning with his mother to visit his
grandma and grandpa and Insisted on taking his kitty with him.
"They were given a warm welcome by grandma and grandpa, and after
they had had something to eat the little boy took his kitten and went out on
the lawn to play.
"Perhaps kitty was cross because she had been taken away from home.
At any rate, she ran np a tree and, though Harold called and called, she
wouldn't come down.
"Grandpa said he was too old to climb the tree, but he thought if Harold
would Just let the kitten alone by and by she would come down of her own
accord. Then grandpa went back to the porch to finish his nap. Harold
thought for a few minutes, and then he went into the house, took down the
telephone and called to central to give him the Are department. When he
got that number he said:
'Come on over to Mr. Blossom's houae. You are wanted right away.'
Then he hung up the telephone and went back to watch the kitten.
"Presently the fire company came tearing down the street, with a mob
of small boys at their heels. They swarmed over the lawn and up on the porch.
'There isn't any fire here,' every ,one insisted—that is, every one but
Harold.
"No,' spoke up the little boy 'they ain't w fire, but my kitty's up the
apple tree, and I wanted you to bring your ladder and get her down. It was
me that runged the bell and talked to you.*
"Laugh? You should have heard people laugh. The firemen were not
very well pleased, though, and never offered to get down the pussy.
"However, when they had gone away and Harold had been spanked and
was sitting on the porch steps thinking how mean grown folks were sometimes,
kitty came walking down herself and snuggled up to her little master as much
as to say: 'Never mind I love you. Don't care about any others.'"

Lecture
powerful lecture on Chris­
tian Science that Judge Clifford P
Smith, C. S. B., of Boston, delivered
yesterday afternoon at the OTpheum
theatre. The eminent Boston jurist
was greeted by a large-and~represent
ative audience which seemed highly in
sympathy with the thought and spirit
of his discourse.
Judge Smith is a member of the
board of lectureship of the mother
church in Boston of the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, and, as an author
ized speaker of the spreading cult
which had its origin in the western
world, explained many things about
the teachings of Christian Science
which to many have not been plain
hitherto. His audience was composed
of many from outside the local Chris
tion Science church.
Pres. H. F. Emery of the board of
city commissioners introduced the
speaker, not as a member of the faith
himself, but as the titular head of the
city. Mr. Emery in welcoming the
Bostonian said:

"Friends, of Fargo, it affords us a
great deal of pleasure to be able at
this time to hear a lecture on Chris

Judge Clifford P. Smith of Boston,
Mass., who is lecturing upon Chris
tian Science.
"As a representative of this city, I

friendship of the entire community.
It would be entirely out of place for
me to take up any time when you are
to have the privilege of listening to
a man like Judge Smith, who wiil now
address you."
Judge Smith's lecture:
Christian Science Is a way of liv
ing that finds its chief inspiration, its
perfect Illustration and its complete
proof in the teaching and example of
Jesus. It reveals, awakens and de
velops the divine possibilities that ex
ist, latently, in every one. It shoWs
how to throw off the inabilities, the
dis abilities and the liabilities that
have been imposed on men by ages of

"We have with us today a gentle
man who is a representative of one of

us the truth that was taught more
than 2,000 years ago by a man who
was heard by thousands but who was
understood by very few. He was a

the Christ, but the belief that Jesus
Is God and the correlative theory that
God consist of three persons. This is
the real issue and of course it is one
that ought to be referred to Jesus and
settled by his own utterances as re
corded in the New Testament. The
doctrine that would deify him is with
in the scope of the subjects on which
he spoke, and if it were true, he would
have confirmed it explicitly. But such
JS
not the case on the contrary the
gospel records of his teaching show,
both negatively and affirmatively, that
Jesun did not teach that he was the
deity, nor that God consists of three
persons. He expressed the desire to
be glorified, but never of be deified.
Jesus Not God.
On looking through the gospels we
find that Jesus frequently spolce of
himself as distinct from God. For in
stance) he said, "Ye believe in God, be
lieve a.'so in me." He referred to him
self with other men as worshiping
God—"We know what we worship."
Again he plainly said that he was a
man—"a man that hath told yoa the
truth."
Once he had a dispute with the Jews
on this very question. They took up
stones to stone him and he asked
them, Why? They answered, "For
blasphemy, and because that thou, be
ing a man, makest thyself God." In
reply he did not deny that he was a
man, but he corrected them on the
other point. His words were, "I said,
I am the son of God." Surely in these
circumstances if he were God, he
would have said so. If the deity were
three persons of whom he was one,
he would not have spoken as he did. He
was not the person to dodge an Issue
there was nothing equivocal about
him and this incident occurred at the
feast of the dedication of Jerusalem,
where he was virtually speaking to
ail who had ears to hear.
There is another incident, recorded
in three of the gospels, that ought to
be conclusive of this question. In this
he said, "Why callest thou me good?
None is good, save one, that is God."
This saying is squarely contrary to
the theory that Jesus was God, and
it is equally contrary to the theory
that God is three. Jesus was, as Mrs.
Eddy has said, a "Godlike and glorified
man" (Science and Health, page 54)
but his words show that even he Was
wholly dependent on the Father. His
was a reflected glory he reflected the
goodness of God and this is the true
function of all men.
In order to understand the word
"Son" as used by Jesus we must con
sider his use of the word "Father,"
for each of these words is the coun
terpart and complement of the other.
In the gospels we find that he spoke
not only of my Father, but of the
Father, your Father, and our Father,
and that he used these titles inter
changeably. This fact of itself proves
that he did not regard himself as a
member of a trinity with the Father.

Both Christian and Science.
Being compassionate, helpful and

Christian Science has now been
taught and practiced long enough for
its effects to be observed in a very
large number of cases. In this man

are exceedingly wholesome. Con

Divinity of Christ Affirmed.
Perhaps the most frequent objection
urged against Christian Science is
that it denies the divinity of the
Christ. What Christian Science does
teach on this subject is of such vast
importance to all mankind that I
wish to examine this question parti
cularly before taking up another topic.
In the writings of Mary Baker Eddy,
the discoverer and founder of Christian
Science, the divinity of the Christ is
often affirmed and never denied hence
this censure, as it is commonly made,
does not present a clear statement of
the real issue.
The fact is that what Christian
Science denies is not the divinity of

That Jesus did not teach that he

ly shown by what he said in prayer
for other men: "The glory which
