SHOULDERING THE Hl'RDEX
To those critics, domestic as well as foreign, who persist in maintain
ing that the United States has not done and is not doing Its full part in sus
taining and stabilising the tlnances of the world, the facts brought forward
by the comptroller of the currency In an address to the ludiana Bankers'
Association give a most convincing reply. Mr. Crissinger, with the de
tailed tlgures before him, had no difficulty in showing thut in the last eight
years, or since August 14. 1914, America has contributed to the financing
of the outs de world uo less gigantic a total than $22,751,000,000. Tiiis
sum, which takes account of the millions expended in charity pure and sim
ple. is mude up Of government loans and unpaid Interest thereon, of com- i
nerchil credits extended abroad, of American securities repurchased, of dol-1
lar securties bought, of foreign money securities sold in this country and of :
foreign currencies bought in America.
No one who knows the facts can with justice Impugn the conduct of '
America either during or since the war. On the contrary, as tbe comp
troller puts It, it we ourselves fully appreciated our contribution, or if we
Here given fair credit for it by other peoples, "it would win us the bright
guerdon of helpfulness, of willing co-operation and of splendid unselfish
ness. •"
More, indeed, may remain to be done; but. limiting consideration to
the eight years now under review, no candid minded person, can deny that
America has fully done its part.—Washington Post.
THE DRAMA OF LIFE
Not to the mimic reproduction of the histrionic stage nor yet to the
t>:lent silver screen need we turn to study the development of Life's drama.
There can be no denial of the fact that "truth is stranger than Action."
Comedy, tragedy, melodrama—they are all about us, and the stage and
screen never can unfold their complexities, their mysteries, their Involve
ments of motive and passion as does the daily press. It is trie newspaper
which holds up the steady mirror In which we see reflected the all in all of
life.
A situation that should inspire the genius of a dramatic fictionist is at
tracting nation-wide attention. The papers have told you all about it.
that is. all that at present is known about it. But back of the story is a
we>rd involvement which defies analysis upon any other theory than that of
unbalanced mentality. And yet practically anything may be possible in
this world.
A woman, dying, denied in her will that she was the mother of Ave
children who always had believed that she was their mother. She bequeath
ed her estate of uearly a million dollars to her cousins, if any such were
living. She made no explanation with reference to the true parentage of
the disinherited children. An aged negress. who had been a lifetime in
her employ, declared that the children were the children of the dead wo
man, that she had been present at their births.
How could such a thing be? If the woman is right t':e children, who
have grown to manhood and womanhood, do not know who they really are,
wTiether, indeed, they were not her own. They grew to maturity loving
her and rejoicing in their legitimacy.
Surely this woman mint have b«en of unbalanced mentality.
But. as we have said, strange things happen in real life,—far stranger
tl lags than ever are represented on the mimic stage.—Cincinnati En
quirer.
TESTING BRAINS
For sotue time a good deal of humor will be let loose as the news
spreads that schools and colleges are applyiug "intelligence tests" to their
enter.ug students.
Questions such as, "Cold is to ice as heat is to what?" and, "If you
were on the top floor of a high building, In a hurry, and two elevators were |
open, one full and one empty, which would yoji take?" seem silly to tne !
casual reader.
Yet the "Intelligence test," carefully worked out and applied, should
do an enormous amount for education In the next ten years. It should
eliminate much waste effort.
It will exclude the weli-meaning but clumsy-minded who are a grief
to themselves and a burden to others during years of ineffectual struggle.
It will enable teachers to place students in sections where they can work to
the best advantage. It will increase the pace of those who are most com
petent and save them from the weariness and decay of will that come from
the consciousness of not having to work to keep up.—Seattle P.-I.
Fate Makes Big
Pitcher a Batter
New York. Oct. 30.—Destiny has
brought John "Reb" Russell back to
the major leagues as an outfielder
after he was declared passe as a left
hand pitcher three years ago and
forthwith forgotten. A marked iu
clination to change a pitched ball in
to a home run will keep him there
for some time to come.
Russell Is hitting them so tar and
so often nowadays that he Is rankad
with Ruth, Hornsby, Williams and
Tlllie Walker as one of the most dan
gerous sluggers of the day. He has
been up with the pirates only a com
paratively few weeks, yet in that in
terval his total t as mounted into
double figures. An even star with
the rest of the ileld and Russell
night easily have topped'the Nation
lI League In home runs, It not both
he majors.
Comes Back Ntron,;
As it is he hus sold himself com
pletely us u comeback. He is through
with pitching, of course, just as
Ruth, Joe Wood and otheri; hav,» glv
9n up the mound in favor of iie out
tleld. It would be u unique little
plot if Ruth and Russel, two of the
leading southpaws of another day
ind age, should head their rcspoiltvt
leagues iu slugging next year
Haw is entirely responsible for
Rusaels's return to the big game. He
pitched his arm away for tha While
Sox between 1912 and ISrli), too
many curve balls being the answer.
He was let out by Comlske* and be
lieved. like the test of them, .hat
his days in the big league? had been
cut short forever. He went to work
in an Indianapolis factory for $40
a week and managed to muke i pret
ty good thing of It by pitching ceml
pro ball on Saturdays and noltdays.
Enters fate at this juncture. Min
neapolis wus playing in the Hoosier
metropolis and Joe Cantillon was in
a had way for an outfielder, P.ondeuu
nuVHig pulled up lame. He heard cf
Russel. sent for him and offered him
a contract. Russel fell for the bait
much against his better judgment.
This happened at the outset of the
present season. Within a few months
Russel was back on the major league
circuit.
Hit 'em on Xoso.
He hit .350 for Cantillon In the
"fill in" role, and so many of his
safeties went for extra bases that the
Pirates had to do some lively bid
ding to get him away from several
other big league clubs. To date he
has been worth whatever the Pirates
paid for him and more.
Rest has brought Reb's pitching
arm around to Its former strength.
But that is the least of his worries.
Asked recently if his arm was strong
enough to pitch again, he replied
tersely:
"It is, but I won't."
Alaska Bear
Is Pioneer In
"Dry" Work
By S. B. (iroff.
I This is a bear ol a Btory.
Also a story of a bear. A prohibi
tion bear, un animal forerunner of a
I human reformer. A bear on the war
path. militant and vengeful against
the demon rum.
Many there ure who pause for a
moment to gaze upon Carrie Nation
forever doomed to sniff the sweet
breezes that waft through the steel
bars of her cage at Woodland Park,
admire her, gaze wonderingly and
depart.
| Carrie Nation doesn't care. She
jsits gazing with d,-eamy eyes across
the sunlit spaces of the park, rum
inating in bear fashion upon her
| fate.
1 Carrie, demon reformer, has a past,
a past that reeks of alcohol.
Years ago, in Seward, Alaska, be
i fore the name of Volstead was
■ heard. Carrie was raised In captiv
ity as a furry brown cub. She spent
rter childhood days playing about the
wharf. Whenever a steamer came
in from Seattle or San Francisco, the
bear cub was on hand to greet the
strange dogs and many bitter duels
ensued, in which Carrie was invari
ably the victor. She was a land
mark of the city, a great awkward
bear rambling about the little min
ing city at all hours of the day or
night. Her name then was "Bobby."
She bated saloons, especially one
run by "Porcupine Jim."
One day the owner of Seward's
principal grog shop showed up at
the opening time and found a com
plete wreck. The plate glass front
iiad been smashed as though by an
elephant. Inside the place whiskey
bottles, beer mugs, and glassware,
mingled In jagged, broken debris,
beneath the overturned bar. An alco
holic stench arose.
Seward boasted a chief of police
who wore a tin. star and packed
enough hardware on his hips to sink
a fleet.
To this personage the saloon keep
er appealed for vengeance.
The entire police force investigat
ed the wrecked booze dispensary.
While they were engaged in their
deductions, frequently sampling the
remaining stock, they heard a loud
crash. In walked the bear, climbing
through the broken window, intentt
upon finishing the Job. She was
dubbed Carrie Nation on the spot
The great brute remained in Se
ward for several months after that,
during which time she took particu
lar joy in smashing booze joints. Fi
nally the total of her crimes mount
ed so high that her departure for
other climes was Imperative. And so j
«he shipped to Seattle.
A queer fate, truly. Carrie Nation
was a reformer, a prohibition bear,
a leader In the movement to make
Alaska dry.
Aad now she sits captive, exiled
to another land, doomed never to re
turn to bfer native country to see
how her dreams have come true.—
