forfeit It's right to the boys within its
circle II 1t does not at once provide for
them.
Don't belittle this junior movement.
Look around you and forget not that
boys become men. Eighty per cent of the
men in our churches were admitted To
membership when in boyhood and early
manhood. Our boys under proper guild
ance will naturally expect to become Mac
cabees.
Why not?, They like manliness. and
they are largely influenced by the heroic.
What a revelation and inspiration the
story of Mattathias and his sons will be
to the average boy And the curious
grip and password, all their own-a mill
tary uniform, marching like soldiers, and
recognition for accomplishments, all their
own!
With all the rest that is proper and
valuable the boys should be taught
obedience to rules, regard for home and
parents, love of country and high sense
of honor, through a short ritual that
shall find the boy as he is, and lead him
to what he longs to become.
With intelligent effort through the plans
of, the Junior Maccabees the boys In our
homes and thousands more. can be so inn
pressed with the purpose and spirit of
Maccabeeism that they will anticipate
with satisfaction the day when they will
be ''sir knights with all that 1t implies.

THE ROADS MAY
GIVE-2-CENT
FARE

Philadelphia. Sept. 3O.-pending
a final decision of the state supreme
court ON the Constitutionality of the
twO-Ccnt fare act, il is believed that
all the leading railroads of the state
will establish il Hat two-ccnt fare to-
morrow, the date set for the law to
become effective. While the roads
are confident that the decision of the
Philadelphia court in the test case
brought by the Pennsylvania railroad
will be sustained by the higher courts
they do not intend TO risk having To
pay heavy penalties 1T the decision
should be reversed. with the hand
ing down of the opinion of the SUI
prcmc court the roads will then he
in position to restore the present
schedule, il desired, provided the de-
Cision is favorable to them.
The Pennsylvania was the first
road TO attack the law, bringing a
suit in the local courts to restain
the county of Philadelphia from coll
lectinE a fine for violating the pro-
visions of the act The hearing in
the case lasted nearly a week, and
among the witnesses We're President
McShea and several of the vice-presi-
dents of the road. The contention
of the company was that the law was
unconstitutional and that the two
cent fare was fixed by the state leg
islaure without any investigation ms
to whether the railroads could make
fair profit under the law, which the
company asserts ii cannot do.
The decision of the court, which
'will become of national Importance If
sustained by the supreem court. sus-
tains the contention thar a twoceni
fare is unreasonable and gratis the
Injunction asked for.
