SCRIPTURE AND THE HUNS. GETTING READY FOR THE FOREIGN TRADE. Said a speaker at the American Manufacturing Ex port Association, in New York City: "We shall have millions of tons of shipping after the war, and an army of workers, augmented on their return by the millions of soldiers. There are innumerable fao tories whose war activities must be turned into the manu facture of articles for use in times of peace. There will be billions of dollars due us, and cash to spare. - "Our home markets will be unable to absorb qur avail able capital, the products of our soil and the output qf our factories. Our ships must carry cargoes or be sold to our competitors. The prosperity of the country will depend upon the extent and magnitude of our trade. - This is a pretty good presentation of the situation, Our foreign trade may not be so all-important as profes sional exporters imagine it; our domestic requirements after the war will probably be greater than these special ists expect; and yet there is no doubt that the need and the opportunities of export trade are going to be very ereat. It is high time to begin preparing in earnest for the vast commerce that our new merchant marine may be expected to carry if our businessmen prove equal to thet situation. We need a more general recognition of the possibilities of our foreign trade and a more general knowledge of the processes by which we, may win foreign markets. Our young men need a more thorough com mercial education, with instruction in foreign languages and the racial characteristicsand trade customs of other nations. They should get it in school and college, and spec ial facilities should be provided them by banking houses and manufacturing and commercial institutions, with the active help of the government. ' Some congressmen can never fce pleased. When Wil son was staying at home and sticking close to the job they denounced him as a dictator, and now they are just as much displeased because he is going to go to Europe and let them run things to suit themselves next winter. The editor of the Oregonian writes from Europe that he is imbibing freely of the famed Scotch hospitality. That's kind of rubbing it in on the poor fellows who have never had the opportunity to leave the state of Oregon since it voted dry. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason THE ILL WIND. The influenza went its way, and slew its legions every day, as dire a thing as war, and, while they winced be neath the rods, men clamored to their divers gods, "What did you send it for? What is the use of a disease that makes men cough and whoop and sneeze until they break their necks? What profits it to spring an ill that fills the pesthouse on the hill with ghastly human wrecks?" Some times we cannot see the plan behind the rod that chastens man, and so we idly kick; why shouldn't life be endless bliss, why should we suffer that and this, and why be sore and sick? The influenza came along just when our states men, going strong, were primed for the campaign "t they had their speeches learned by heart, and they'd turn out, with graceful art, their doctuines safe and sane. Wind jammers here, windjammers there, were suffering to paw the air, and make the welkin reel; the voters, shuddering with dread, looked on the carnival ahead, of argument and spiel. Then came the flu, and crowds were banned; all public meetings in the land had the verboten sign; the candidates could only take the speeches they were primed to make, and put them down in brine. Yet people cry, "What is the use of pestilence that cooks our goose, and puts us on the' blink?" They have not learned to analyze, they have not learned to use their eyes, they have not learned to think. , If the German people really believe that they are be ing treated with undeserved harshness, we recommend to them the prayerful reading of the messages given in older days by the Deity whom the Germans have delight ed in calling the "Good old German God." We recommend particularly the first chapter of Proverbs, including the verses: "Because I have called, and ye refused ; I have stretch ed out my hand, and no man regarded: "But ye have set at naught my counsel, and would none of my reproof; " "I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; "When your fear cometh as desolation, and your de struction as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you; "For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord; "They would none of my counsel; they despised all of my reproof; j "Therefore shall they eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices." If the Germans are God's chosen people of modern times, as they have often boasted, let them stand their punishment for national sins, as the ancient Hebrews did. It will be good for them spiritually. The highest, purest conception of the Deity ever attained by the Jews was the product of their captivity and tribulations in Babylon. The former crown prince is to be interned on an island which has six thousand other residents. Just what those poor people have done to merit such punishment has not been made public up to the present time. And now they might demobilize a lot of these use less, though possibly ornamental, war bureaus, which are wasting so much print paper and encumbering the mails with reports of their senseless activities. There will now be strikes and rumors of strikes and every time a strike occurs the misguided union work men will in due time return to their jobs at lower wages than they are getting now. Is the state council of defense still paying $300 monthly salaries and expecting the taxpayers of the state to foot the bill? A 'My little daughter and myself both use Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and find it invalu able as a remedy for constipation. I would not be without it." (From a letter to Dr. Caldwell written by Mrs. Will H. Thomp son, Ripley, Ohio.) A mild, effective remedy for constipa tion that is peculiarly athpted to th.3 nseds of. elderly people, women and children, is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pep- t sin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.' It brings natural relief, without griping or strain. DR. CALDWELL'S Syrup Pepsin The Perfect Laxative Sold by Druggists Everywhere 50cts..)$1.00 A TRIAL BOTTLE CAN 8E OBTAINED, FREE OF CHARGE.

Brian hung up tho receiver, his mind in a peculiar condition. He was flut tered that Mollic had missed him; yet n hit worried that sh had failed him. Suppose Ruth had heen at homo. He must warn Mollie not to rail him at thp house, Kaehel, too, niiirht answer and think it atrauge that a woman had called him. She was devoted to Ruth and probably told her all that happened in her absence. ' Mollie'g a dear!" he said to him self ns he often had said before. "She makes a fellow so darn comfortable." Perhaps Brian was nut so t! i f fi'reiil from many other men, in that he ad mired a woman who made him enmfort nble. Most men are very aensitivo to that sort of woman, and Brian wtia a very ordinary sort of man in most thingsKuth'g belief to the contrary Brian's view of Mandel had not tend ed to inako him happy. That prosper ous, well-groomed man whom tho lack ey treated with such subservience, was just the sort of man Ruth had been ac customed to all her life, and whom her aunt would have ehosen as her husband had she been able. In a way, tho isight of him his evident prosperity had made Brian more bitter toward Buth. than he had felt in a long time. Sup pose this njan did make love to her. Would she be able to resist him, his money The thought made Brian blush be pause of what it implied of hia idea of Ituth. lie knew she loved him, that she jvas good and true. Yet ho had in sulted her by thinking that, because of Mandel 's money, his personal attrac tiveness, she would perhaps prefer" him to spending her life with a poor lawyer. '"If I had a chance, I'd show them" Brian muttered as he started for bed. That ho had all the chance anyone else had, he did not believe. Midas had ntt spilled gold in his lap; neither had he been favored by the gods with the luck that cennes to1 somo men. So he figured That the very men he envied, worked two hours to his one that they neith- . cr spent their rime in foolish grunib I lings against fate, or wasted it in other ways, ho would not have con ceded. It was just his luck not to get along like-some fellows did. J Kuth's picture stared at him from his chiffonier as ho prepared for bed. ' She looked so frankly into his eyes. There waa such a sweet smile on her lips, that he raised it and pressed a kiss upon the glass. , 'btic's sweet", he said as he tugged at his necktie- 41 1 wish sho liked to stay home." I Had he known that Buth was lying ; awake, her eyes wet with tears because she had not heard'from him, ho might thave felt a shade more guilty than he did. But he had put off writing altho he had thought of it-w-until ho had 'something to tell her. That was the 'excuse he made to himself. But had he been truthful he would have said that ' he felt so ashamed that he had spent the entire evening before with Mollie, without a thought ef Buth, that he had ' not been able to write all that day. , Brian was a temperamental seal He did things when he felt in the mood, or he did them sot at all. Bnt before he slept he assured himself that he would .write Ruth in the morning, for if he spent the evening with Mollie ho would be late, and not feel like writing. While sipping his eoffee the neit morning he read the paper with more than his usual interest. That war was getting mighty interesting. It had be gun to look as if it would, last indef initely. How he would like to, get into the game His blood tingled at the thought. What an experience! ; 't I wasn't married, I'd join the Cannks", he said atmid after reading of a particularly brilliant charge by the Canadian forces. "But so such luck for me." , He neglected his breakfast so that Rachel was worried and asked: Judge Griffin Asks New Trial For Mooney Saeramonto, CaL, Nov. 21 Governor Stephens today received from Franklin A. Griffin, trial judge in the Thomas' J. Mooney case, a long letter appealing' to the chief executive to grant a eondi-j tional pardon to Mooney. Such action by the coventor would be tantamount! to ordering a new trial. In liia letter Judge Griffin reviewed the entire case at length, outlining the testimony of the prosecution's chief witnesses. The testimony of Frank C. Oxman, the prosecution's chief witness, was characterized by the judgo as ' ' tho turning point in the Mooney ease." Disclosure of an attempt by Oxman to secure false testimony through lot tos written to Edward Rigall and his mother at Grayville, 111., led Judge Griffin to believe that Mooney should have a new trial. - "Strikes Are In Prospect. San Francisco, Nov. 21. Labor on tho Pacific Coast is seething today with strike talk which may assume serious proportions. Frantically every union before Dee ember 1 will vote on the proposed gon- " Ain't yo coffee good this mawint" ''Why, yes, Rachel! I was so interest ed I forgot it, that's all- Please give me a hot cup." "Dog gone-it but that's hot stuff"! he ejaculated as he read an account of the Tommies going over the top. 'Wish I had been in that bunch." Just then Rachel brought his coffee and he finished his breakfast, but af terwards, and all the way down to his office there ran through" his mind the thought of the Tommies and the wish that he might have been with them. He wrote Ruth before he opened his mail. She would not have been nnduly flattered had she heard the sigh with which he said: "There, that's done." Yet he had not written an unloving letter. He had told her ho missed her dreadfully; and would be glad when she came home. It comforted Ruth im mensely, and gave her courage to go on with her work instead of flying home to see if he were sick as she liml been temp(ed to do, because she had not heard from him (Tomorrow Ruth Plans A Surprise - For Brian). era strike as a protest against the exe cution of Thomas Mooney, scheduled to be hanged December 13, Some labor leaders declared that ,'not a wheel will turn" throughout the country if the state of California takes Mooney 's life. Further complications were presented by the dispute of shipyard workers ov er the Macy wage scale agreement,, vhich the men declare has not been ful filled by the employers. One union already has voted to strike December 8 unless some satisfactory settlement is forthcoming. . 5C 3! SC SC jfc St )S ijt 3t 5t S(! iC Sfc WILHELM CHANGES BANKS ' Amsterdam, Nov. 22.
