While the views expressed in thlz article apply to ~he world at large there is much meat in it that applies to each and ev- ery one of us. The Republic says: Emil Ludwig, Germany's chief literary figure, says that what has most impressed him in the American people is their spirit of optimism and self confidence, as contrasted with the pessimism and fear prevalent in .Europe. He declares that America has the spirit of youth, Europe of old age, and that this fact underlies much that is characteristic of both civilizations. This statement ls true and of great importance. The despair which has seized upon Europe since the World War accounts for the readiness of millions who have lost confidence in themselves, and hope for the fu- ture, to surrender the control of their destinies to dictatorships, or cen- tralized governments drifting toward despotism. America is a monument to the courage and confidence of her peopIe. It took adventurous spirits to leave behind the associations of the Old World in the 17th and 18th centuries, make the perilous passage of the sea, and seek homes in the vlrgh~ wilderne~. It took courage for the pioneers of that era to fight their way toward the interior against the warlike savages and the savage wilderness. Such conflict bred in men and women a self-confidence that finally •ought and achieved national independence. It was no longer tolerable that America should be in leading-strings to European kings. European commentarlans in the earlier years of the republic found a stock subject for ridicule in what they regarded as the boastfulness and "self-sufficiency of Americans who, amid their crude surroundings, be- lieved in the superiority of their institutions and the future greatness of America. Their villages they believed would be cities; the wilderness, they believed, would in time be teeming with people. Their hopes have been realized: their dreams have come true. For Americans to lose their spirit of optimism would be to lose that which is a possession of greater value than all they have inherited, of material possessions, from the past. For courage and confidence can create anew. Cowards and weaklings cannot even defend that which they inherit. Preachers of pessimism have been busy in this country in recent years. We have an extensive literature of synicism, of depreciation, of despair. The Sinclair Lewises, the Menckens, the Dreisers, have filled the air with their super-sophisticated, sneering, villifying assaults upon everything American. They have sought to break down the faith of Americans in themselves, in their country, in their civilization, and with the super- ficial they have achieved a degree of success. It would be difficult to over-estimate that part played in the creation of the present depression in the United States by the preachers of pes- ~imism. It is generally agreed that fear, lack of faith, lack of hope and confidence, are chiefly responsible for the present halt in American ~xrosperity, and if the belief were to arise tomorrow that the future is bright, it would immediately become bright. Cynicism is the vice of both Immaturity and senility. Those who be- come subject to such a mood have already failed. The resolution to do is half of the deed. Those who are constantly preaching lack of faith in America, in her traditions, her ideals and her future, are doing all they can to break do~n that quality of the American mind which has been re~sponsible for most of American a~htevement. And since many of these Preachers of dspalr are known ~o be radical social revolutionaries, there ~s method in much of this madness. Americans should preserve that psychology of youth which has made America great. They should close their ears to the caterwaulings of the moral weal~Aings who choosing ¢o ignore all the values of our civilization dwell solely upon the abuses and misuses of the existing order, and thus do what they can ~o make a failure of America by giving to Americans the phychology of failure. of all kinds be declared by the general and state governments, not real- izing how impossible it is, without violating the fundamental provision of the constitution safeguarding the im4olability of private contract. Neither state nor federal government may abrogate private con:racts of any kind, that being a personal matter, yet many people seem to think it can be done by legislative enactment; and even if it could be done, it would result in chaos and bring ¢o ground the entire fabric of our bus'.- ness solidity, not only adding to the troubles of the unfortunate, but bringing probable ruin to those who extended loans or credits, with the result that neither loans nor credit would be possible in the future, Constitutions are made difficult of amendment expressly to guard against the varying upheavals of the people. They are made strong to guard against sudden changes and to give the people time to cool off and seriously consider before taking action, and it is fortunate for all of us that the forefathers forsaw this tendency to rush in and destroy the ,structure of government without that sober thinking which Shows the way out. While it is possible for state and federal governments to waive pay- ment on debts due them. neither has power to waive deb~ due private interests, for it is a cardinal princiPle in this country that none can be deprived of his property without due process of law, and to arbitrarily declare that prlvate debts must be waived, especially for any one class, is to take property and security from those who have them and give it to those who have them not. One has but to put himself in the place of i those holding obligations against others to realize what a wholesale moratorium, illegally declared, would do to him. CARLYLE Mr. and Mrs. Gee.

And the dressmaker getteth two score and four ~ron men. And the editor getteth a note of thanks from the sweet girl graduate. The daughter goeth on a journey. And the editor throweth himsel~ on $~he story of the farewell party. It runneth a column solid. And the lair one remembreth him from afar with a picture postal card that costeth six for a jitney. Behold. she returneth and the youth of the city fail down and wor~'~p. She picketh one and lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor catleth him one of our promising young men and gette~h away with it. And they send unto him a bid to the wedding feast and behold the bids are ~ashioned by Montgomery Hawick, in a far city. Flowery and long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. Tne minister getteth ten bones. The groom standeth the editor off for a twelve month subscription All flash is grass and in time the wife is gathered unto the soil. The minister getteth h~ bit. The editor prlnteth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubic of poetry and a card of thanks. And he forgetteth to read proof on the dead, and the darn thing cometh out "Gone to Her Last Roastlng Place." And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with ex- ceedingly great jumps, And they pulleth out their ads and cancelleth their subscriptions, and they swing the hammer un~o the third and $ourth generations. Canst thou beat it? And once in awhile our "make-up" man will unintentionally place a local notice on tile wrong page without tt~e knowledge and desire of the editor, and lo, some irate individual will call him up, lambast him to a fare-you-well and tell him l~e has played "a dirty trick" and that he is unfit to run a newspaper, that he is unfit for his job and intimates that the morgue instead of the editorial chair is the proper place for him, ,while at the same time that individual pa~s himself or herself on the chest and cries aloud, "Lord. I thank thee tha~ I am no~ like these news- paper men are,--I never make a mistake. Amen."

The answer, accord- ing to Sherman Horns, famous son of a father famous In the animal business. Is an emphatic "yes." Wild animals do not merely Iml- tate or act by Instinct, he Insists. "They have brains, and they use them." he writes in the American Magazine. "The chimpanzee Is the greatest thinker of all. closely sec- onded by the other man-apes---the orang-utan and the gibbon.

Consequently he uses his feet more like man than do the other pri- mates, and the bones and muscles have developed accordingly. Eskimo Curiosities A great deal of genuine interest was shown in an exhibition of Es- kimo life, shown at Montreal. There were specimens of tools and weap- ons. ancient and modern, made use of in the Arctic regions. There were snow glasses made of wood with small slits for vision; curious drills which the Eskimo holds in his teeth while he presses the point into the ground or the Ice ; a leather belt with an ivory buckle; fine combs delicately carved out of Ivory; Ivory needles and toys; carved miniatures of bears, walrus and seals; ivory rattles and draughts.
