THE HOPE OF
THE JOBLESS.
No sooner does a town become a
city than the problem arises of jobs
the
for the jobless. And even
smallest political unit in the nation,
even in the precincts given over to
agriculture, at times there are more
willing workers than there are jobs.
It is in the cities, however, that the
number of jobs offered seems so inad
equate to the number of workers de
siring employment. This is the prob
lem of unemployment, and the ques
tion of wages.
Henry Weinberger, evidently a stu
dent of economics, in his recent tes
timony before the U. S. commission
on indu-fial relations, said:
Whenever there are more men
than jobs, labor is a commodity,
and. following the law of supply
and demand, waces are forced
down to the lowest point of sub
sistance. For a limited number of
men unionism may be an allevi
ating circumstance, but for the
vast majority this is an iron law.
If anything can be done by the
government to create moire jobs
than men. iobs woud be the com
omdity, each job competing with
every other job for the service of
men, nrrl wages would then be
fore-d un to the highest economic
point that the industry can endure.
Here is much wisdom in little space.
Labor is a .commodity when the op
port'.irities for employment are few
er than tV numbers of workers
clamoring for situations. Labor re
ceives' a'l it is entitled to only when ),.. Reed, a Cincinnati surgeon, in

ty of '.'J.Om'i, a two-to-one victory for
prohibition. More than 4n,n00,000 of
the people of this country are now
living under prohibition, or local op
tion laws, and this places nearly oO
per cent of the population of the Unit

alarming feature of this to the li
ouor interests is that more than half
of the American people who have
prohibition appear to like it.
Despite the efforts of Senator
Fletcher to prevent, Peter A. Dig
nan was on Monday confirmed by the
U. S. Senate as postmaster at Jack
sonville. Mr. Dignan's candidacy
was urged by Senator Bryan, and
soma two weeks ago his appointment
was sent to the senate by President;
Wilson. The senate committee in
Bpite of Senator Fletcher's protest,
recommended Dignan's confirmation
unanimously. When this report was
read, Senator Fletcher made a lengthy
statement before the full senate. The
dispatches say, however, that inas
much as Senator Fetcher would not
pay that Dignan was pe-sonally ob
noxious to him, the senate decided
there was no good reason for holding
up the nomination. A week or more
ago Senator Fetcher stated that the
"Collector of Internal Eevenue wa:
his political enemy and he didn't pro
pose to have another such occupying
the postoffice in Jacksonville." It
is also said that one of his reasons
for opposing Dignan is that he is a
Catholic. And there are persons
mean enough to insist that Fletcher's
opposition was only APPARENTLY

.,, resentative. It represents what
f,as g.one before. At how many f
critical points in the sacred story
is God represented as taking a
child. When baby Isaac, the late
bm.n of parentg past age,nestled
in his mother's bosom, it was
God's doing. He was taking a
single child as the one and only
person on whom all the line of
covenant promises depended!
How very vital the child to the
Divine purpose! And how he
Kept ine cmm lor i u,i6.

son, Isaac, whom he loved!
There came another critical time
when amid the dull and dreadful
drudirerv of the Egyptian brick-
Aast;; nf r,l's nen-
pie was running to a desperate
extremity. And here, again, a
child was the cardinal point about
whicn those destinies turned, liisv
prophet's prase:-
ent sense saw that the waif of the
brickyards was "a proper child";
and by faith they hid him th'-ee
months. Dv a course romantic,
""splendid and startling, God toik
this child through the palaces of
Kings, the universities of leir;i-
ing, the solitudes of the wilder-
ness with its burning, ttut un-
burnet. bush, to the high place of
emancipator, law-giver and leader
of his people. Modern historians
tell us that it was this child, who r
didn't find his life work till he
was 80 years old, that gave the
first recorded impulse to civiliza-
tion. It is a wonderful thing for
God to take a child and devote it
to His service and the service of
mankind.
Another child of God's choosing
filled a cardinal place in His plan.
This was the child w-hom a barren
mother asked of God, and whom
she called, when he came, by a
name, Samuel, that always re-
minded her of her prayer rf faith
and of God's response to her cry.
lt was in a night time, literally
nnd fieurativelv. when this child
heard God's ' call. Iniquity
amongst the people and the priest-
hood was carrying Israel down-
ward. The old order of judge-
ships, a regime that had lasted
near four centuries, was changing
to the new. And this child called
in the night, was the hinge point,
through an illustrious and fault-
less career, about which a nation
changed from judges to kings.
When Cavour laid down office
he held up his hands before his
countrymen and said. "These
hands are poor, but they are
clean." So Samuel challenged Is-
rael to imneach his integrity when
he laid down in age the magis-
tracy and ministry he had taken
up in childhood.
Let the church still take her
children and dedicate them to God
-on lmfnvp thpv know Him. Let
parents give up their children to
God. Let us all hail the Chil-
dren's day in the church.

; method of providing for tbe repayment
of a loan If you lenu me
which I promise to repay in ten years,
you have a right to be interested in
inv plans for meeting the demand for
the SIO.O(K) which you expect to make
upon me ten years hence.
So I say to you:
1 am going to amortize that S10.UOO
debt in this way; Out of my earnings
every vear I'm going to set aside JOtki
v,.h vear 1 will set the $000 to work
earning something too. At the end of
ten years the fund will amount to just
enough to discharge my debt."
You will tind that specialists in
bonds use the word a great deal. They
know better than anybody else its im
portance, Tbey realize that. 0 borrow
r of tnonev for a long term of years
is very apt 'to forget to make provision
for repayment.
Certain lenders of money on long
terms insist upon the borrower's tak
ing out a life insurance policy bis
enough to 'meet the debt in case of
death before the del becomes due
Generally the longer a debt has to run
the more important becomes the ques
tion of "amortization. "-.lohn M. Oski

NAVAJOS FEAR THE DEAD.
Hence The-. fet Rid of Their Bodies as
Qj-ckly as Possible.
One practice d the Navajos that pro
motes lie:, it un.: t bem. however re
nu-nant it i.-iy '' l"t us. is tin-it dis
position ot the ileal In the presence
ot tn,. living the Navajo is without
tear out his teiroi oi the dead is ab
jeot ami unreasoning The dead are
believed to !e possessed of malevolent
teelin-'s toward t he survivors, with un
limited powers tor working evil upon
those who carelessly place themselves
within the power of the spirits.
So when any one dies the only anx
iety of the surviving relatives is to get
rid of the body as quickly as possible
If there are any white men living in
the neighborhood an effort is made to
induce them to perform the offices o!
undertaker If not. the disposition ot
the body deiends somewhat upon cir
cunistances. If tbe bogau-the mod
era wigwam-is built of wood it is set
on lire and burned with the bitdy in it
It or stone the body is usually taken
outside, the entrance to the hogan
closed up with stones or sticks and a
hole made m the wall opposite to per
tnit the evil
pirits to depart and to
warn pi.ssi r-!i. that the structure lie

Attracting Attention
By HOLLAND.
ADVERTISING is not nec
essarily ' successful be
cause it attracts attention.
A uian who has been in a
fight. Is all beaten up mid
ueeds a general overhauling
vt'ill attract attention, but he
is not a pleasant object to
look at. and no one would
stop him to buy a pair of
shoestrings that he might
have for sale.
A man can stand ou the
street and yell nt the top of
bis voice. He will attract at
tention and will be voted a
nuisance. Some men attract
attention by stealing horses
and others by forging checks.
But the advertising they get
docs not help them in a busi
ness way.
It is possible to word an
advertisement so that it is
worse than useless, so that it
offends a large number of
people and drives them away
in-stcad of making customers
of them. Such advertising is
growing rare. It is of the
"smart A leek" type.
I'se 110 Language in'your ad
vertisements that you would
not use to a gentleman or
lady who entered your store
in search of goods. Show
only the same anxiety to
make a sale that you would
show In your store and be
just as careful not to say
anything that would offend
i the most crotchety individual.
Deep Breathing.
"Learn to sit or stand erect and
breathe deeply." says a health expert
"Ifemeniber that your blood cannot be
properly washed with half a lungful of
air any more than you can take a prop,
er bath in a few pints of water." Ev
erybody must know what a Joy there is
In" tile deep breathing of the pure air
of the morning. The lungs respond to
the stimulus inucb as the body reacts
from a dash of cold water Columbus
