The Queston
Just now there is con fronting tli winery serious con
ditions. Living lias rciu-lied a point ;flinost past f-ndSr-iiiicc.
Muefl is said ol'.tli'1 'i'ol'it'cr and mdoiiMcdly lie
docs exist, for on every hand a genei';. rise cxpen-iK-Pif
whetlm- conditions justify it or not. In times like these
the American drain is required. Intellect is needed. 'The
man fviti hald .statements
demagogue nwd is as much to be (headed as is the big bus
inesse concerns which exact the pound of flesh nearest
the heart.
This is surely a time when co-operation is needed, and
that'co-opj'i'ation must reach further than it ever has he
fore. Everybody must live and a sense of justice and fair
ness must arise in this nation that will supplant the self
ishness which is now so apparent.
The statesman who can lead us out of this chaotic con
dition will he the big man of the generation, and the way
he will do it will not he by violence, nor threats, nor sub
terranean methods, but by a square deal to all. tie must
curb the greed that is running rampant and force a realiza
tion that every person lias a right to live.
Yet, it is a big task, but America is successful in hand
ling hig tasks and there will be a way out.
The best wayall must admit, would be for the United
Slates as a nation, to become closer associated with the
old hook called the Bible, and from its teachings find the
proper way out. It is the one remedy for greed and self
ishness the one remedy for correct living.
The coming winter is dreaded in this land of plenty bv
the people, not heeause there is not sufficient to go round
hut because of the poor distrilmt ion. Money has ceased
to function and the handling of money no longer means
much.
What we need is to get, things down to earth. Quit
living in the air and liecome resourceful and producing
citizens who have respect for each other.
The problem is a hig one, hut wit h united wisdom and
a desire to do right, it will come out in good shape.
MONEY CANNOT
Just now many people, who in the past have thought
if they only had lots of money are coining. 1o realize that
there is little to money. The present dollar, shorn of its
purchasing power by a large percentage, jingles away and
is not the coveted article it once was. That is what clie.ip
money does for a nation. It is possible to cheapen money
so that it ceases to be of very much value, and that is what
lias happened. Tin outlook now is for a continued pro
cess of inflation and cheapening, which if kept up will
put the United States money on a par with Villa's Mexi
can money, where it requires .fli.") to buy a ham and eggs.
AVhen conditions reach such a point the country is a joke
nnd all securities are but scraps of paper..
There is too much common sense among the people of
this country to let money remain cheap. All securities
in the past have been based on a dollar with a hundred
cents' purchasing value in the dollar. Interest rates are
based upon the old values. To change the monetarv sys
tem now would mean to wreck all that has been doiie for
the past two generations. And besides no one wants it
eliangcd. Every man you meet today will say he will hail
the day when prices of commodities come down and he
would he willing less, if his wages bought what thev used
to 1)11 V.
"We are boosting ourselves by our boot-straps and we
must come down.
A COMMUNITY NURSE

too much. The danger to the mar
himself, to his fellow-workers, to the
machinery and its delicate processes
wp.s too great to be W.-ked. Kmpluy
ers everywhere tightened up their
rules. The nation came to believe
that the only way to comfort, health
nnd prosperity was the sober way.
Therefore it voted the country dry.
Now, say these frightened Kngiish

British worker in skill and output that
England will, in self-defence, have to
follow the example.
It is certain that if our prohibition
really prohibits, we shall be at a great
advantage over the rest of the world.
And England, with its sodden drunk
enness in industrial centers, no doubt
needs dryness more than the countries
which have never gone much beyond
the light-wine stage.
Prohibition, if it comes in othc
countries, will no be the result of
zealous moralizing. It will conn be

successful, will need the weapon of
sobriety to maintain their places in

'Germans Figure the Human
Cost of War.
German stntisci:if s have been com
pleting their estimates of the human
cost of the war. They find that dur
ing the war there was a net decrease
of 2,000,000 in the population of th?
German empire, instead of a normal
increase of more than twice that
much. According -to Dr. Fritz Iiurg
doerfer, the net effect on the empire'."
population was 800,000 marriages not
made, 4.000.000 babies unborn, 1,000,
000 soldiers killed and 700,000 civil
ians dead as a result of poor nourish
ment. This reckoning ignores the
hundreds of thousands of soldiers des
tined to die later from their wound?
the millions more wholly or partiallv
:ncapncitatcd by injuries and the mill
ions of civilians permanently weakened
by war privations and the disease
bred by them.
There is agitation in Bavaria in ri
vor of a "child-bearing strike." Th?
rallying cry is, ''No more children."
In the face of theso facts, German
statesmen and writers are calmly di
cubing and planning for ''the next
war."
Unauthorized Strikes Lessee
Prestige.
While the statements were made
that the present shoirmen's strike win
uiiautho; iited it was in a way doubted,
but now Pre-idont Wilson comes out
SMuarelv and tc'ls the strikers they
are act ng without vested authority
from their head officers and therefor?
there is nothing binding on anyone to
recognize such a stiike.
When men deliberately quit wovk'
and strike without a stiike order from I
headquarters they act against every
princ'ple of organization and take
away the prestige of united effort,
supplanting it with individual will.
They, by acting independently, do a-:
injury to the very cause they are
earnestly contending for.
According to the President, that is
the civ o in the present shopmen's
strike, and La (Jrande railroad people
are to be commended for their decision
;o await orders fi-nm headquarters.

Who would call the Shrine the hiirh
est dejrree in .Masonry? It is nol.fla
snnrv. Yet no ne ran hca Shrine'
who is not a 32 decree Mason or a
Kintrht Templar.
The Sh:ne is not ?he playground
for Masonry, but Is a j)!ayx"ound fitf
Ma-.cns. It makes old men young and
serves a boneficent purpose. It em
phasizes Masonic fraternity. IW is the
Masonic smile, the Masonic sunshine
society. Its principles ,nre Pleasure
without intemprancc. Hospitality
without rudeness. Jollity without
coarseness.
The Shrine is called .an Arabic or
der, but Shriners do not cease to be
Masons, believing in the Deity. A mis
; onarv once complained that the
Shrine in North America Rave encour
agement to their enemies in Moham
medan countries where we were taken
rnou:;ly as Mohammedan converts
Ju.-t think of it. That Oriental bunch
Mohammedan converts.
Tne?e complaints end misconcep
tions are honest, but they are pure
misconceptions nevertheless. The un
initiated cannot be blamed, however
for not understanding the true object
of the Shrine, when Shriners them
selves often take themselves too seri
ously. We are Arabs "just for fun";
we worship Jehovah, the Cod of Love,
not Allah, the god of brutality and im
morality. Of all the so-called gods
Allah is the most abhorrent, represent
ing nothing that we love or respect
The alleged attributes of Allah are re
vealed in the Koran and exemplified
in the life of his alleged prophet as
transmitted to us by his contempo
raries. We can neither respect, re
vere nor love a god revealed in such
gibberish as the Koran and exempli
fied in the life of so contemptible and
despicable a character as Mohammed.
No Arab either loves, reveres or even
respects Allah; he fears him, but is
not even reverential.
The Shrine is purely a North Amer
ican creation. The Pr'nce of Wales
vetoed its introduction into England
because it made fun of so many of
Her Majesty's subjects.
Masonry i3 serious; it is religious:

That is the Shrine; that is its dom-

and its influence has become so great

have been no war." We cannot con
