II Divine Precept
LONDON divine created mild sensation at a
conference of Christian workers at East Mortified,
Mass, when he remarked: ut perfectly aIlowa-
BILE for one to smoke go to the theatre, provided
they believed God had told them it was right" It
is surmised that this divine has received word from
the same high authority that smoking is wrong. If
this theory to be taken seriously by preachers
they would soon be talking to empty churches
The ministry is too conservative to attempt to
put into practice such whimsical inspiration -
Surprising smoker told his minister that he had
received permission. What could he do to disprove
the assertion? Hypocrisy is too rampant as it is to
need further encouragement 1t is evident that this
worthy divine has allowed his thoughts to wander
from the text and stray into the realms of sensation
alism.

GettiNS into Trouble.


WHAT easy thing it is for anyone to get into
trouble. Did you realize how easy it really is
hasty word loss of temper, and lo one is landed
in the midst of complications which often prove
pensve before he extricate himself. After it is
all and reason again occupies the throne, he
allies that the difficulty might have been avoided if
he had only thought moment as to what it might
lead to- If he had only thought! Ever since the
dawn of history men have reproached themselves for
this lack of thought, and perhaps it will continue
until the crack of doom.
The ancents used to call anger short madness;
and if this be true, then it is impossible for to
reason logically, to comprehend what he is doing
when angry. A hasty temper gets more into
trouble than real depravity. Ones tongue is not al
ways responsible for the insulting epithet; if the
temper had been under control, the tongue would
cease to wag. "Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" is good gospel today as when first
uttered. But how few men heed this maxim.
It is easy thing to reproach man for not
thinking of the consequences to himself to his folks,
to his wife and children before he got into trouble
They who chide men for not thinking, perhaps would
have made the same error under similar conditions.
STILL there those who seek trouble and those who
try to avoid it, the former always find just what they
are looking for while the latter succeed in lodging
many of life's annoyances.

AT THE present time the infant country of Korea

ton at the hands of the Japanese Of course the
Japs are simply introducing new methods for the
benefit of the Koreans. They disclaim Interior mo-

as gently as possible-at the point of the sword.
1t is strange that the Japanese should acquire
the habit of posing the friend and adviser of Sin

semibarbarism Today she has agents all over India
who are informing the natives of the blessings that
Japan is enjoying since her awakening These agents
are responsible for the menacing feeling now brood

natives to resort to arms, they, nevertheless, are
planting the seeds of sedition England should dis

point Of view this kindly judge be considered
philanthropist; but many persons will pronounce
such marriages as being unwise If man is too
poor to pay small stipend to get married. he surely
is too poor to shoulder the responsibilities of pros

u JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
Mn. Advertiser, Change
Your Copy!

While perhaps not to the same eX-
tent necessary, new text serves the
same purpose for the advertiser that
new copy does for the newspaper.
Both are important to the full measure
ofsuccess. As news matter must be
fresh and attractive to please, so, to
carry out the fullest possible degree of
usefulness and benefit to the advertiser,
he, too, should clothe his statements
in new language. The Importance of
this may not appear to the ineXperi-
enced or indifferent one.
Why SO many should look lightly
on this all-important phase of up-to-
date business practice, does not appear.
1t is allowed to go by default, like the
question of advertising itself, until the
last moment and then disposed of in
the most hit-or-miss fashion without
any regard to its importance. Next to
advertising itself, it deserves and
not uncommon for an advertiser to tell
his newspaper man he has not had
time to prepare new copy and directs
him to use the old for the current issue.
Lack of time, though seemingly to
outward appearances valid, is one of
the weakest of excuses.
Leaving to the last moment and
then emitting altogether that depart
ment in ones business which makes
all others possible is nothing if not an
egregious blunder. 1t retards, if it
does not effectually check, the wheels
of progress down the entire length of
the line. AS well might a general
order his men into battle without any
ammunition, or, at best, to serve
them with poor quantity and expect
victory as for a business house to go to
the expense of fitting up an elaborate
establishment for energetic business
and then not to advertise at all or with
secondhand material.

plenty of spending money.
So Harry Thaw sat in his cell and
waited When first locked up he had
$50 in his pockets. In few days he
had exhausted that in tips to the
prison attaches and was fat broke.
But there was more cash left where
that came from, and the prisoner was
soon supplied with spending money.
Even In prison he must be a spender.
Thaw's meals were sent to him pip
ing hot from a fashionable and costly
cafe uptown. He had dined there of
ten with Evelyn. The chef at this cafe
set his inventive faculties to work and
devised an ingenious contrivance to
keep the Thaw soup and other viands
hot in transit to the prison.
Cigarettes, of course. were easily
purchased. A trip to Europe after the
favorite brand, however, was not pos
sible.
The prisoners friends and relatives
sought to prevail upon him to let his
counsel plead insanity as the defense,
but to all such entreaties Thaw was
deaf. He insisted that the killing of
White was justified upon other grounds
and determined to submit his case to a
