SOCIAL
CRISIS


TExT-Jacob was plain man dwelling
among the tents: and as q plain man
hast thou prevailed. N
AS men do not pick diamonds from
trees. but rather search for them
among the barren stones and soil. SO
God seeks for great leaders, not among
the exalted. but from the great mass
Of common folk. Desiring to start a
new race preparatory to Christ's COM
Ing. he searched among the common
ones Of Chaldea until he found Abra-
ham. worshiper of idols. and sent
him forth not only to be the father Of
the Jewish race, but of the three great
est forms Of monotheistic religion the
world has ever known. God search
ed for an emancipator and he found
Moses, an alien. born In servitude, and
sent him forth to lay the foundations
OF civilization.
Desiring to reveal the power Of the
strong will and the indomitable ambi-
ton, he searched among the open
helds until he found Jacob. a plain
man. dwelling among tents, and sent
him forth as a prince of God.
The story OF Jacob 10 the story OF
ambition, had and good. laying hold
OF every means TO meet It's end: fill
ed with mingled pathos and Joy. AS
the bad ambition 1t sends its harvest
OF sorrow, and as a holy ambition it's
hardest of Joy. In no life is the fail
ure OF ungodly ambition and the sue
cess of righteous ambition more
marked.
Jacob desired to rule, to lift himself
out of the common place, to become a
prince among men, and failing to real
ize the difference between right and
wrong, brought dismal failure. He be-
lieved that birthright gave the power
to rule, and un1ustly sought to secure
one not his own.
At the doorway Of a weather-beaten
tent he sat one evening, a mere lad.
The lengthening shadows were silent
ly wrapping the landscape with haze.
Before him burned a blazing fire that
laughed at the thickening shadows
with defiance, cast its rich glow on
his clearcut features and caused the
tent folds to stand out distinct against
the dull background
The atmosphere is fragrant with the
stream OF cooking porridge, which he
idly stirred. He was Dreaming OF
leadership, when out from the shad.
ows came one staggering with weak
ness and hunger and crying out for
food. Here was the age-lopg problem
OF supply and demand.
Jacob. being careful. shrewd. far
sighted, had provided for time OF
need. Esau, careless. Indifferent. wan
dering In disposition had made nc
such provision. 1t was strength pitted
against weakness. Strength said:
What I have is mine. and II any

City Court.--Fuller Judge

John Heald of Mt. Tom, Mass, was sent to jail for 20 days, Saturday morn- ing, for getting drunk. John was beg ging dimes and niekels Friday after poon. He was we'll dressed and gave ss an excuse for his predicament that since the hot spell he had not been right. He talked fiuently on lines of temperance, and bemoaned his fall. When sentence was pronounced how ever, he seemed to be satisfied, AS 1t was not the first time his liberty had been taken away from him, according to his own statement.
 Adelard Lamiotte was before the court Monday morning charged with being drunk and carrying concealed weapons. Joseph Daigle, who keeps a Providence street saloon, testified that the man came to his place early Satur- day evening and had some beer. He came back later, and as he was in an intoxicated condition he was refused anything more to drink. He took of- fense and some words passed. He went out and came back again. He did .this several times. After being put out the :side door he came in the front door. Witness was playing cards when he came back the fourth time and demanded a drink. When told he couldn't get 1t there, he reach ed towards his hip pocket and said to witness that he had better give him a drink or he would be sorry. Some one in the place saw the butt of a pistol and told witness. Plans were laid to take the gun away and this was cone after little scuflle. Officer Cordier was sent for and made the arrest. Lamiotte admitted that the story as told was correct. The pistol was an old fashioned one and was unloaded. A fine and costs amounting to Sl909 was imposed, and the case was contin- ued two weeks.

timonial that law has yet received.
The Republic opposed the adoption
Of the commission system, yet the
only objection that can be discerned
in the article alluded TO is that the
commissioners do not please every
body, and that the law is not an auto

creep into the organism OF a city IN

ALL is EXPLAINED.

In commenting upon the fimsy ar
guments against the Allen law ad-
vanced by the Grays Harbor Post. the
Herald last Monday among other
things said.
The hypothetical case Of a commits
sioner having himself recalled by his
friends after six months. SO as TO
render him immune for the balance
of his term, reveals an imagination
that would make its mark in the
short story field, but the presumption
of the damphoolishness Of the citizen
ship OF Aberdeen is too strong for
what purports to be newspaper ar
guments."
According to the last issue of the
Post. this is the construction placed
upon the foregoing by Editor Clark:
Our petulant contemporary, the
Aberdeen Herald. announced Monday
that the last issue of the Post was
full OF damphoolishness it contained

The other opinion, which is printed
in the Grays Harbor Post. is that Of
T. Y. Copeland. a well known citizen
OF Tacoma, who appears to be one OF
the dissatisfied in that city. yet his
article does not contain word that
can be construed as a criticism OF
the Allen law. The experience OF Ia
coma is no guide for Aberdeen. That

ceeded TO elect freak mayor. with
the inevitable result The Tacoma

deem, for Aberdeen. is TO remain in

While Mr. Copeland expresses dis
satisfaction with the commission in
Tacoma. he carefully refrains from
stating that he would be willing to
return to the old ward system. With
all its mistakes. few aside from the
dislodged ward politicians in Tacoma
would consent to return TO the old
method. That incompetent and i'm
proper men may be elected TO office
is true of any system. but their cleo
ton is much easier under the ward
method than under the Allen law,
where a candidate must run the
gauntlet OF the entire city first at the
primary. and again at the regular
election
