The sissy Man.

Bishop q. X. Hendrix. in a church
council at Kansas City, asked why
the church was not reaching more
men. els II because we are adapting
our work more TO the women?" he
demanded.
Another prominent clergyman
Rev. s. NJ. Neel, d. D., opined that
was somewhere near the reason. 1--WE
want no more sissy men in the pull
pit" he declared. A Sissy" man, in
this definition. is one who adapts his
preaching and his teaching and his
general conduct Of parish Affairs
more to the women---bless them-
than to tho men.
DIT. Neel is heartily applauded by
a large number of his pulpit brethren
and the spirit of the times in the
church, as manifested in such enter
prises as the "Men and Religion
Forward Movement" seems TO en-
plastic what no says---the call and
need for the strong, virile man in the
pulpit who appeals to the man in the
pew and In the street, for making the
gospel mans appeal. not, OF course,
depreciating the indispensable value
of the women.
That is all very we'll, but where,
may we ask, is the typIcally sissy"
man wanted? What calling or busI-
ness needs him? Business and other
professions besides the ministry can
use him no better than can the
church.

Unenforned law.

Mr.. Bryan in his Commoner is be
laboring the president about ian un-
enforced law" having special refer
ence to the criminal section Of the
Sherman antitrust law. II has been
question whether convictions could
be procured under that law as con-
strued by the courts on the evidence
available. But there are other un-
enforced laws much nearer home.
Nebraska has had an anti-treat law
on its statute books for over twenty
years without even a serious attempt
at enforcement. Nebraska has also
an antitrust law, with criminal PEN
alties, which have never been melted
out. Nebraska has a stringent pTi-
mary law making It an offense to pro
cure a petition to place a candidates
name on the ballot, and subsequently
fail to file it Such a petition was
procured last year to put Mr. Bryan's
name on the ticket as candidate for
United States senator, and then
thrown into the waste basket under
Mr.. Bryan's direction. Yet no one
connected with the Commoner de-
manded the enforcement of the law,
and no one else cared.

Getting Out and Putting In

Everyone tries TO get out Of life
all he can. II is human nature, aud
the average man would resent the
thought of It's being wrong. II Is
common for men to say. well, I be-
lieye by making this change or tina,
so can get more out Of Iife," or a
fond mother or father will tell YOU
that Il want my child TO get out OF
life all there is In IT,"
There can be no wrong in this
provided we are as eager to put back
into life as much as we take out
Taking out, subtracting, is an
emptying, exhausting process. Life
would become barren II everyone
tried to see how much he could take
out of II and how little he could put
into It. SO we need to be careful thai
life does not give us more than we
return. When It does we become
the debtor and our existence, instead
OF being an asset to the world, be.
Soines q naOlllty.
What else is meant by the old
proVerb that THE world owes M
man a living" socIety's debt Is moi
TO- but from, the individual. AND
unless each person contributes all hs
can, ali his powers enable him e
contribute, he is falling short OF hi
duty for in tho nature OF things al
men have not equal capacities. One

Otherwise. a deficit shows up which

The First Woman Jury.

That FIRST woman jury in Califor-
mia that hung and even failed to
agree on a place to take luncheon
can have no terrors to the evildoer.
The professional criminal asks moth
ing better than hung jury, provided
he can get enough hung juries TO
wear down the patience of the state
and the court.
Woman, naturally, has a keen
moral sense, keener, we are prone
to believe, than man. One Of the
Oldest arguments in favor OF woman
suffrage was that this keener moral
sense would assert itself at the bal
lot box in favor OF civic righteous
ness. Yet certain states in which
women have been voting for years
are continuously held up to con-
tun1ely for their Indifference to the
highest tone Of government--for
their notoriously loose politics. But
the good women are not charged with
making Things thus, though they may
scarcely be credited with unmaklng
them.
II they are permitted to do jury
service, are they going to take that
new responsibility as lightly as some
have taken the elective franchise?
II women cannot agree on place to
eat. how can they agree on a YER

COlOnizing Liberia.

Another movement seems to have
been started toward colonizing
American negroes In Liberia. One
hundred or more families are about
TO leave Oklahoma for that west
African republic as the vanguard OF
a larger procession. Sporadic move
ments OF this sort have been arising,
but have never amounted TO any
thing, chiefly because the American
negro never failed to discover his
advantage by remaining in the
United States. II is not at all likely,
therefore, that any hegira will set in
now as the result OF this little bands
adventure.
Liberia was settled by the Ameri-
can Colonization Campany as a prof.
Get for cQonizlng freemen and re-
captured slaves. This was in 1911,
and in 1929 this company sent out
from tho United States $4,000 ne
groes, but what numbers have ever
gone since have been too inconsider-
able to amount to anything, so slight
that in 1891, when Liberia had a
population OF 1.06s,O00, only $4,000
OF them were Afro-Americans. To-
day the population is somethin
more than 1900. 900 in all with but
a sprinkling of American negroes.
Some OF the graduates of the
Booker T. Washington school have
gone over there In recent years and
lent a helpful hand in mechanics,
agriculture and education, particu-
larry intensive agriculture, and they
send or bring back glowing reports
OF the promise and prospects. More
over, glowing reports from the gov.
ernment OF Liberia come OF the infiu-
enoe OF these young men, who are
much In demand.
Liberia is a black mans republic,
with a government patterned after
our own, with some excellent laws
and systems calculated TO promote
industry and thrift among the peo-
pie, For instance, while the ballot
is free, no one may vote who does
not own real estate. AS voting is
the ambition Of every Liberlan, this
IL a direct incentive and Is said 10
have worked wonderful results. The
country has some excellant aoil rich
and fertile, capable OF the highest
cultivation, and one OF the chief
crops is coffee, the best OF coffee
coming from that country. The cli-
mate is said to be as hot as there
is on the globe, January being the
hottest month. But with all the adj
vantages Liberia offers. It certainly
could have no lure for tho colored
man looking for a chance to get on
In tho United States.
