fronts 200, 600 peasants 10 the food dis
tricts today, and it seems impossible to
provide relief. The damage and property
loss is estimated at $40, 900, 900 and
more Than IL, 900 people are homeless.
Malaga alone will be able to reap any
harvest and the food situation is the
most serious of many years. People who
we're driven from miserable homes by
waters have absolutely nothing except
the rags upon their back. They are
gathering 10 great herds today about
government Offices in the towns wailing
for assistance. Women who have carried
their babes ia their arms Tor three days
and nights and similar pathetic sights
confront the officials.
The rain is continuing in some dis
lricts. The Red Gross Society has begun
to give relief aud will do everything
within its means.

AGAIN a woman is finding fault with
American wives and complaining of the
failure of American marriages. This
time II ia Anna A. Rogers, in the At
lantic Monthly, who says that "the ex-
cessive education and excessive physical
coddling of young women" and their
devotion to physical culture and sports
has evolved hybrid feminine who is a
cross between msgnifed, rather un-
msnnerly boy and spoiled, exacting
creature who sincerely loves herself
alone. Thus, explains the sociologist,
"a slipshod, unchivarous companion
ship" has grown up between the sexes,
which after marriage is found to be "a
cause for tears OF temper" One contrib
ntory cause, she says, is the existence
of 1921 courts empowered to grant d.

HE rejection of Vice President
Charts w. Fairbanks as q delegate to
the auadrenuial conference of the Metho-
di,t Church at the meeting in Colum-
bu,, Ind, yesterday YVES doubtless ac-
tnated by conscientious motives on the
part of those who cast their ballots
against him. A great many people,
however, cannot see ia what manner the
Vice President has committed an I'M
pardousble sin 10 serving light stimu-
iants at a dinner given on Memorial Day
in honor of the President of the United
States. There are Other charges against
Mr.. Fairbanks. 1t is averred that he did
not contribute literally to the Methodist
Church of Indiana, and that be failed to
tC,;aie with his home church until
few mIn;ls 0ro. Mr.. Fairbanks IS
probably oae I'll The m"s' careful OF men,
and from all tha. can he st'r ~ the out

cal in all bis ways. II .aa- is rot
man likely TO 60 to extremes 10 eating
or drinking, and the wines and cocktails
which seem TO have caused such an Of
feuse to those who were not guests at the
dinner may, after all, have played but
minor part at the feast. The abuse OF
louor is no doubt q universal evil, and
those Who let it severely alone are in
the safest positions 10 life, but that all
professors of Christianity should vie with
Mahomet in DISCRIMINATING the vine
because some persons make beasts OF
themselves is not plank in the plat
form OF ths majority. There has ever
been certain percentage of members OF
all churches who were teetotsllers, and
always will be. They have ever regard
ed wine as an enemy of all they hold
sacred, and have an undispnted right
10 their convictions. Others, however,
to whom over-indulgence in eating and
drinking is an abomiuation, have failed
to see the sin unto death in the temper
ate use of all the blessings Of heaven.
1t would be bringing Goals 10 Newcastle
to reproduce the many arguments which
have from time to time been made con-
corning the use and non.use of slim
ulants. Church members, some radical
on the subject and others of more con-
servative mould, have endeavored to
strengthen their respective standpoints
from the same book from which both
build their faith, but the disputants
are as much at variance as ever
At different times during The present

The use of tea, coffee, chocolate, pork,
