That is a pretty good idea-going
after the man who owns the gamb-
ling joint and it would be just as
well to go after the man. who owns
the property where the gambling
joint is run. The latter will aid very
much in Kidding the city of gambling
At least there is no good reason why
the city should not experiment along
this line. There are persons who are
willing to pay high rentals in order
to run gambling joints. Maybe rents
would drop, if the owners of the
buildings, whore gambling goes on

acter of the places they rent to 9th.
ers. In that event there would be
an adjustment that would not give
the renters an excuse for trying tc
violate the law.

New Early Shopping idea.

Wheeling merchants will agree
that the constant agitation of early
shopping by the newspapers resulted
in more satisfactory distribution OF
holiday purchases. and modification
OF the nerve-racking eleventh hour
rush which in many instances has
caused weary saiespeople to spend a
far from merry Christmas, believes
the Wheeling Register. There was
more early buying in comparison
with the volume of trade for the sea-
son, than in any previous year. This
is encouraging. Next year the peo-
pie may be induced to show even
more consideration for the men and
women behind the counters, ana
eventually Wheeling may follow the
example set this year by st. Paul.
In that progressive western city all
the big stores closed at six O'Clock
on Christmas eve and thousands of
clerks were enabled to spend the hol-
idays as other people do. An early
shopping agitation was started and
1t soon embraced a movement to close
the stores at six O'Clock on the day
preceding the holiday. Father Law
Ter, of the Catholic parish, because
interested and took the matter up
with the owners of the stores. Each
wanted to know what the others
were going to do. so he got them all
together with the result that the
closing agreement was signed.
Father Lawler says the early clos
ing was not only boon to the
clerks, but also henefit to the pro-
prietors themselves. Trains don't
wait for people who are late," he
says. Banks close early and do
business just the same. Stores can
close without losing business II only
they advise people in advance. 1t
Just means that the rank and file of
us must shop little earlier and not
let our carelessness make cherries,
tired and dreary Christmas day for
thousands of good people who have
done us no injury and deserve little
thoughtfnlness at our hands"

Ethics Of Suicide.

ne ldTHe ana seemingly lncTeaS
ing number of suicides reporte,
from day to day may well give ris,
to little serious reflection on tn,
ethics OF self-destruction. The mor'
frequently such deplorable incident
occur, the more we become familiar
lied with them. and the less helm
Gus they are likely to appear. espe
cially when the elment of pity en-
tiers in. The sober truth OF the mat,
ter is that suicide is a most serious
crime both against God and human
society. For one who has any real
faith in God and His Providence
who believes that the Almighty
placed us here for definite pur-
pose, insanity is the only possible
excuse for the act. No man. how
ever heavy his burdens, has moral
right to throw away the life that
God gave him. The Lord God alone
is the absolute Master of life and
death; He has put us here in the ca.
pacity of sentinels, and he who
abandons his post is traitor to his
God. This Is the first and best con-
sideration for believer in a future
life-that in usurping Divine power
he is guilty of grave disloyalty to
his Maker. 'Tis the dread OF some
thing after death, the undiscovered
country from whose bourn no trav-
eler returns. that makes us rather
bear the ills we have than to fly to
Others that we know not Of
But even apart from religious
faith, there are overwhelm-
ingly strong-reasons from other
sources to deter the man OF honor
from such course, says the Balti-
more Sun. The natural law and
common sense cry out against 1t az
gravely injurious to society ut
large, and particularly to the portion
of it in which our lot is cast. II no
other worldly motive will appeal to
tile man contemplating suicide, his
regard and consideration for others
should prove sufficient deterrent.
Self-tlestruction is the offspring of
sellishness: and perhaps this is the
mealest thing about it. No man
liveth or dieth to himself alone.
There are others concerned. And if
the would-be suicide cares naught
for his own life, at least he might
have some thought for those who
are. or should be, near and dear 10
him; he might think of the disgrace
his act will bring upon them, the
heartrending grief it will cause, of
the restitution that may follow in
its wake for those who are dependent
on him for their means of support.
No. life need be wholly useless, and
If one has reason to look upon his
own life as OF little or no use, his
remedy is to better, not to destroy
it. y
Against the suicide whose mind is
deranged, of course there is nothing
to be said-except this, perhaps, that
in large percentage of even these
cases the mental arrangement itself
might have been prevented by taking
sensible view of life and its mis-
fortunes.
