Is Law Powerless?

There are three forms OF wrong-dolng
which the law, as understood aud en-
forced in this country, seems powerless
TO touch. One of these is the making
of deadly explosives for the purpose of
political assassination; another Is the
publication of corrupting fiction q
third is the adulteraiion of food, or the
imitation of wholesale articles by poi
sonous ones.
Dynamite, dime novels, and oleo-
margarine are the three tests Of Amer
lean civilization as at present prac.
tised.
There seems to be no way Of keep
ing the explosives from the hands oil
those who will use them In the most
reckless and cruel fashion. Fiction
which does not fall under the absolute
ban of the Society for the Prevention
OF Vice, is published and sold with
impunity. Oleomargarine Is for sale
as wholesome butter over every coun'
| ter.
The meaning of this Is not that laws
cannot be made to repress crime, bnt
that where profits concerned consci-
ence will go to sleep aud will take nc
pains TO see that law Is enforced; and
The defect in the public conscience lies
just where 1t ought D0t--namely, Win
! those who have q conscience, who dc
know right from wrong, but who
shrink from the trouble and lncOnven.

cate has the following hit AZ the new
Congregational Creed: "The faree Of

nineteenth century reminds us of one
OF the shoddy millionaire of other
days, who was building splendid
residence and wished one room fres-
coed with scrlptural subjects. The
painters name was Mesnil, and he
was engaged one morning at his duties
when Mr.. Shoddy walked In. After
looking at thesplendid frescoes awhile,
Mr.. Shoddy raised his cane, pointed
at one group and said, 'Mesnll, what
is that?' The twelve Apostles.' re-
Piled the artist. oh you painted
twelve Apostles for Jones below, did
you not?' Yes, sir said the artist.

explain this parable to the Congrega-
tionalists. 1t strikes us that there

compelled 10 take some extraordinary
measures To preserve his health dur
