Barton) EORGE GISSLNG told in one of his books that as he passed I -r alone: the road one day he met a lad of about 10 who was weeping'bitterly. His mother had sent him to neighbor's to pay a debt, and the boy had lost the coin. Gissing asked how large the coin was, and was told that it was sixpence. "Sixpence dropped by the wayside, and a whole family made wretched! I out my hand m my pocket, and wrought sue rjennvworth of miracle !" Gissing never possessed an amount of cash sufficient to have vrouffht an expensive miracle. He lived among the poor. He caw and felt the brutalizing effects of hopeless squalor. The pall of this was upon his writings; he never became a cheerful novelist or one whose books sold largely. Life for him was too bitter, too sad. But his heart warmed to the day of his death as he remembered how he had wrought at least one sixpenny mir- ccle.' . Not every miracle can thus inexpensively be wrought. There are some kinds of evil that go not out except by fasting and rrayer. But there are other miracles that are so cheap the won tier of it is we do not all turn miracle-workers. Gissing referred only to the sorrow of one household as lift ed by his sixpenny gift. But the woman to whom the coin was owed was helped also ; and she, perchance, owed another worn. an to whom she paid the coin ; and so on. That sixpense probably in circulation yet! But think of the miracle that it wrought in Gissing! He, himself so poor and lonely, so inhibited from any large share in the world's productive energy behold him, at the cost of only fo much as, by a little self-denial he can spare from his dinner, the worker of a miracle, and the possessor of a happy h.v v-hich he can never forget!

( In Greater Demand and Satisfying More People ; very day. , , I B. L. BURROUGHS-rHe Has It! IS MANY newspapers are referring to President Harding as having the most difficult tasks faced by any president -- since Lincoln s day. The statement is true with one ex ception. President Harding faces problems that try men's pa tience and ability. Woodrow Wilson faced problems that try men's souls. He had to fight fire, and he had to do it while the flames rolled high and threatened the world. Wilson dealt with a kaiser who lived in Berlin; whose armies were sweeping the French and British toward the sea. The kaiser now lives in Holland and the immediate task is not to keep Germany from overpowering the world but to make them pay a just indemnity. Our new president faces serious duties and he needs all the ability and support that can be mustered. But courtesy to $he new executive does not demand that anyone belittle the work of his distinguished predecessor, whose broken body is mute evi dence of the tasks he faced and the suffering he endured. , 907 REPUBLICANS nURING the closing days of the last congress Postmaster General Burleson was called upon by the house to report a the number of vacant postmasterships and the political status of men named for position. Mr. Burleson reported that since 1917 the merit test had been applied and that appomt- rients have gone to the first on the list of eligibles. The depart ment had no record of the political affiliations of these appoint ees but the information was secured by the postmaster general bv the simple process of asking the appointees. The answers received show that out of 2103 postmasters named since 1917 1012 were democrats, 907 republicans, 32 independents, 10 prohibitionists, three socialists, while 139 either had no party affiliations or failed to state tnem. uutsiae oi tne soutnern states the majority of the new postmasters were republicans, the fisrures beine. republicans, 846; democrats, 598. It is apparent from this that during the last four years the merit system has been applied in good faith without reference to politics. Otherwise how can anyone account for the pre ponderance of republicans in good northern positions. The question now is whether the merit plan shall be continued or abolished in behalf of the old time spoils system. ....... One of the tasks today is to keep life going in the economic body. When a person ceases to breathe he dies. The same is true with business. We can curtail on expenses with perfect safety It is good policy at a time like this. But it can be over done. There is such a thing as killing the horse while teaching him to live on sawdust The proper course for all is the happy medium between reckless expenditure and the brand of re trenchment that has no regard for the rights of others. SPOKANE, March 8. Friends of the late Moses Miller, Spokane realty cently attended a memorial dinner, which was paid for from his estate. Covers wero laid for ISO. No services of any sort were held at the luncheon. The will of Mr. Miller provided that "a gathering of my friends be held aft- er the funeral at the epense of the estate, my frelnd E.
