Still, whatever the name may be, home as a fact Is the best substitute for n sa loon. It is inhuman, almost criminal, the way some men have treated their homes—how they have turned their backs on their wives and children, as if they had no more interest in them than a kennel of puppies, says Ohio State Journal. It is hoped we will get a substitute for the saloon that will change, all this, and give to a man a love of home, which is the greatest honor and good fortune he can have. The Germans are said to be resent ful towards France, to whom they ascribe much of the hard terms of the peace treaty. Why they gave France particular reason to love them after the war of 1870 and the terms then iinpowd on France, they do not attempt to explain, says Balii- more American. Perhaps they think that. like the roses which bl- -i in the spring, it has nothing to do with the case. “Some of the men who profited most out of war contracts nre famed for their piety,” writes a Washington correspondent, W’a suppose they felt that they ought to exemplify the truth of the proverb, “The Lord helps those who help themselves”—and they helped themselves to everything in sight. There are a great many Important abstract questions concern I ng the fate of the world to be considered, but to the average citizen the price of shoe leather and the possibility of laying In a supply of winter coal take prece dence of them. if. as the pessimists predict, an- other blg world war Is coming. It is to be hoped the present peace treaty will be ratified before the next one comes along or things may be com- » plicated. There are some mysteries and per- plexltles which literature cannot solve. This Is shown by the fact that even cook books Issued by the department of agriculture could not avert a food crisis. Stop and think. Why will a man cheerfully spend at a cheating thirst parlor and then shave “Just once more” with a dull safety razor blade as a matter of economy? Another demand of the time Is for some man powerful enough to ennhlc a fellow to, put down two pounds of beefsteak where now tie only deposits four ounces of liter. 1— Epworth League Watch Party, Kern Park Christian Church Thirty eight young people of the Lents Methodist Episcopal church.' members and friends of the Epworth League gathered at the parsonage on New Year’s Eve. where they were led in a pleasant evening of clean, whole some Christian companionship by Rev. and Mrs. Sibley, the hosts for the evening.

Although action on the matter has been, to a certain extent, delayed by the war. there can be no doubt that there hae come over public opinion during the last five years a very greet I change on the question of prisons and prisoners, says Christian Science Monitor. With the pitiful results of “envy, hatred and malice, and all un charitableness” spread out before It. the world, or at any rate a large part ■ of It, has taken very rapid strides to ward that vantage point whence It ’ can be clearly seen that such passions ! have never built and can never build »• anything or safeguard anything. And so the two great societies in Great | Britain which devote themselves to reform of the prison system are pre- paring to renew their labors with vigor.

He said In that the present con dition of the country’s unrest we could not be too careful In admitting foreigners to citizenship, and he would not admit any that did not have a fair working knowledge of our form of government and the duties of citizenship.

Some time ago an Interesting dis cussion took place In the London press as to the debt which the world owed to the small nation. It was shown how some of the world's greatest lead ers aud teachers had sprung from peoples that had no pretensions to power, and how the small nation was often »Me to take the lend nr-work Ing out some great*social scheme or form of government, the development of which would have been difficult amidst great masses of people In these latter days, this seems to have been especially the case with I'unami. For although, territorially speakln-. Canada is one of the greatest of ua tlons. in point of pofiuliition she I still one of the least. And Canada has certainly taken the lead, recent ly. in many que-tlens of first Impo- tance. says Christian Science Moni tor. It cannot be recalled too often that, at the greatest crisis of the war. she led the world in proclaiming na tional prohibition, and that she fol lowed this up by Instituting' woman suffrage, and laying down the great democratic law that everyone who et> Joys the protection of the state shot.Id take his share, according to his abil ity, in Its labors.
