The trouble with psychotheraphy in
churches, according to the Rev. Dr.
Leighton Parks, is that it identifies
health with salvation. On the other
hand, It might be remarked that the
trouble with the churches where psy­
chotherapy is anathema Is that they
take too little heed of the welfare and
happiness of their members this side
the grave. Health and salvation are
not necessarily inconsistent.
Kidnaping stirs the emotions
the world more than any other crime
One reason 1s that It Is happily infre­
quent. When a case like that in Penn
sylvania comes before newspaper read
ers, it is always accompanied by- th»
story of Charley Ross. That story Is
remembered because the boy was not
found, and therein It differs front most
other true stories of kidnaping.
American parents have less to fear
from kidnapers than from firecrack
ers or measles, or a hundred other
dangers which do not keep us awake
at night. It is the infrequency, not
the nature, of the crime that renders
It comparatively insignificant It can
be more horrible than murder, and
those who suffer receive universal
sympathy.
It begins to look as if some of the
magnates who have acquired the con
trol of most of our theatrical affairs
during the last ten or twenty years
were becoming conscious of the weak
points In their syndicate system and
seeking to escape threatened disaster
by a reversion, in part at least, to
older and sounder methods, Of two
facts, patent to all observers, they, as
shrewd business men of their kind,
must be fully aware. They must know
that al) actors and actresses of the
first rank In this country have practl-
cally disappeared w-ithout leaving any
successors to take their places, and
that there Is no certain source to
which they can look for capable re-
crufts. Such recruits must be found,
or nothing can stop that progressive
degeneration of the theater which has
already reduced it almost to the level
of the music hall.

such a case as that of the Whltla boy,

The forestry service is dealing wltn
a vast domain as the property In com
mon of the people and is continually
working up schemes for the general
good. Of three circulars which it sent
out recently the longest is a descrip
tlon of the policy that is pursued to
ward stockmen. There is a large de
mand for grazing privileges on the
national forests, and'the policy of the
government is to make a fair distribu
tlon of permits. How it is carried out
is illustrated by a Wyoming case. Six
years ago a single sheep owner wa?
grazing 60.000 head of sheep or 47
per cent of the total number on the
forest. As new settlers entered the
country thev derived the benefit of a
pro rata system, and to-day the num
ber of individuals and firms grazing
stock has largely increased and the
percentage of sheep belonging to the
man referred to has heen reduced
from 47 to 4. "One of the basic prin
ciples in handling grazing matters on
the national forests is that it is bet
ter to help a small man make a living
than a big man a profit.” Another
bulletin reveals, the service working
in co-operation with the schools in
teaching forestry and related subjects
and it Is now engaged on model
courses of study for graded and high
schools. The third bulletin tells ot
experiments that are to be made by
the service in introducing eastern
hard woods into California,
Small
patches of chestnut, hickory, bass
wood, red oak and yellow poplar tree?
will be planted near the forest rang
ers’ cabins, "and if these do well
larger plantations on a commercial
scale will soon be established on
larger areas.” Can anyone doubt the
value of this care and activity to the
country? The pity is that the begin
ning was not made many years ago
For the lessons in conservation were
much needed, and after such an ex­
perience as we have had they should
certainly be taken to heart now
Theories of government have nothing
to do with the case, though there is a
disposition in some quarters to com
plain of a present tendency toward
paternalism. What we are striving
for is an effective method of saving
the timber and encouraging its
growth, and the effective method will
be adopted, no matter what the “ism’
may be. The country is to be con
gratulated on the intelligence and de­
votion that are being shown in the
forestry service and on the good work
it is accomplishing as it faces
problem after another.

Opinions of Great Papers on Important Subjects
MONEY TO BURN.
ROM every speculative pit In the country
comes the report that money is easy.
Money is easy, of course, when it Is abun­
dant, and when the big gamblers can bor­
row it at cheap rates of Interest. While
the use of money may be had at nominal
cost In the centers of speculation, it is
noticeable that most commodities are high and that le­
gitimate business Is not wholly satisfactory. Men In­
terested In productive enterprises do not always find
money easy. If money and credit were as cheap to them
as they are to the manipulators of stocks, grain and cot­
ton, there would be no regular weekly reports of the
Increasing movement of currency from the interior to
New York.
Money accumulates here because there Is a demand
for it in speculation and because, In theory at lea
cannot be employed to advantage In business, To what
extent country bankers openly discriminate against pro­
ductive enterprises paying high rates of Interest in favor
of a betting game in which the returns for the use of
money are only nominal can be Imagined, but not ex­
actly determined. It must be large. Under these con
ditions It may be well for those who are inclined to
look into the nature of things to inquire whether the
prosperity which all are seeking and many signs of
which are visible lias been sought in the right place.
There is nothing substantial in speculation. In compart
son with the genuine activities of labor and capital it
is as a bubble to a battleship. If prosperity first shows
Itself crazy in speculation, with the financial resources
of the country largely devoted to the game, some one
6hould make an inspection of its foundations. New

THE GOULD DIVORCE CASE.
HE Gould divorce case, with its details of
reckless extravagance and dissipation, il­
lustrates the exceeding costliness of the
simple life. Surely it was a simple life
she led—a life whose one aim was doing
as she pleased, without reason and by
mere animal instinct. We can conceive of
nothing simpler than the essential facts of this exist­
ence. The details of money spending may gild them
to certain eyes. But they cannot conceal them.
In order to experience the most elementary of human
emotions there was necessary an annual expenditure
which seems a fortune to the average man. Not only
that. The appetite grew by what ft fed on. Each year
Mrs. Gould's doing what she pleased became more cost­
ly. The thought was father to the purchase—dress,
jew-els, land, whatever caprice suggested.
This reckless indulgence becomes almost grotesque
when one thinks of Mrs. Howard Gould's early circum­
stances. There was a time when a couple of thousand
a year would have been affluence for her. Nbw she finds
herself unable to exist on less than $120,000 a year.
Put
She thus Illustrates the truth of the old adage:
a beggar on horseback and he will ride to the devil. •• 1
It requires apparently a clear head for one who sud­
denly acquires the knowledge of extravagance to re­
frain from exercising It. The sudden millionaire and
the sudden millionairess are exposed to the temptation
of their own weakness, and often succumb. The individ­
ual who has made the fortune, with toll and trouble and
bloody sweat. Is usually of a different type. The danger
Is he may go too far In the opposite direction.
But Mrs. Gould's plenteous caprices point a broader
moral. The) are In a sense symptomatic. Her passion
for extravagance after the season of moderate means,
the growth of her desires with their temporary gratifi­
cation, illustrate a national as well as an Individual
tendency.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
HOW MUCH DOES A BOY NEED?
HE young people about to marry who write
to the papers In their anxiety to know
whether a thousand a year Is enough for
two to live on will read with Interest the
announcement that the referee on a peti­
tion of a New- York widow for "support
and maintenance” has decided that ter
■1 year-old son requires not less than $15.750 a year to
live on.

The youthful James E. Martin Is to be commiserated,
The greatest Inherited good fortune that could have
come to him would have been the obligation to earn
his living In the sweat of hfs brow like the vast ma
jorlty of mankind. As It Is, he grows up in the knowl­
edge that he need not work unless he wants to. Few
boys have the spiritual stamina to withstand the ener­
vating tendencies of having so much money to spend.
if the enjoyment of an Income entirely dispropor­
tionate to the actual need of the youngster should be
deferred until the attainment of his majority, It would
be a different matter, though even then the wisdom of
giving a young man a sum many times larger than he
would probably be earning is more than questionable.
But to put $15,000 a year in the hands of a mere baby
Is downright folly.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

horror of her own creating. The case is

and patient practitioners who understand acute mental
disorders. Germnnophobla cannot be laughed away or

Marla, after being shut In for some
two weeks while the great sumpholes
and tanks were being emptied again
draws attention to that great wonder
of California, the Los Angeles Times
says.
So big is this gusher that the east­
ern oil man's mind seems incapable of
grasping it. The well was capped by
an enormous block of solid cement
eight feet In height, placed right over
the top of the pipe. The pressure upon
this was reckoned at some 400 pounds
to the inch.
The well broke loose on Friday
evening, according to the dispatches.
That it should have lifted the huge
block seems incredible. It was an
tietpated on Thursday that this would
be removed In a day or two. and prep­
arations were then on for that event,
which was looked forward to with an­
ticipation all over the vast field. Quite
