Clean or UnClean.
The Story.

There is in operation in the
world a law, easily observed, and
the practical utility Of which is ad-
mitted by all. For the want of a
better name it may be called THE
Law of the Test" In accordance
with it everything that demands HUI
man franchise is first examined
man, measure, book, statute-Wha.-
ever it be, is hidden to show rea-
son for being. Utility of the law
is apparent at a glance. 1t is 4
dyke, saving society from a Missis-
sippi flood of charlatans and fax
ers. But, like everything good, It
is capable of abuse. Persecution is
a distortion of the wholesome law
of the test. 1t does not challenge,
it attacks 1t raises the hateful
cry, Away with Him. Cruelty
Him" But even in it's distorted
form the advantage of it is not lost.
What is doubly tried is doubly
true. Whatever may be mans opin-
ions of the Teacher of Galilee, all
admit that no exception was made
in His case. He was tested in the
perverted form of the Law. From
beginning to end of His public ca
reer He was the object of an en-
venomed persecution. In crucible
fire both He and His teachings
prove pure ore, without alloy. The
sovereign right of Jesus to rule
mind and conscience of men has
had demonstration that never can
be gainsaid.
A specific instance of this test
ing of Jesus is given in this con-

nection. 1t was probably not a
mere coincidence that the scribes
and Pharisees were near when
Jesus and His disciples were eat
ing. 1t had probably been tipped
off to them that the ritual was
not invariably observed with scrup-
ulous precision. Up went their
hands in horror and indignant pro
test when they saw Jesus and His
disciples sit down to their meal
without the purely ceremonial wash
ing. Their hands were perfectly
clean, but then they had not sub
mitted to the extra ablution which
tradition prescribed. Straightway
the air was blue with ordinations,
and the miserable sinners" against
hollow custom, out of which the
meaning had long since leaked were
commended to the hottest fires Of
inquisitiOn and purgatory. AS was
His custom, Jesus appealed to the
Scripture He showed how Isaiah
had Disseminated between form and
spirit. The prophet had declared
men could go on with the form of
religion, saying with their lips the
fine words to which their hearts
were entirely cold and dead. And
what would all that amount to?
Where would it bring any one?
Jesus goes a step further to show
that mans tradition sometimes is
in deadly and absolute conflict with
Gods commandments. He cites
an instance. God calls for loving
fealty towards parents, but vici-
Gus tradition made possible such an
iniquity as this: If man wanted
to get shut of the keep of his pa
rents, all he had to do was to ut
ter the cabalistic word 'Corban, "
and he could go on complacently
spending all his income on himself,
without providing a penny for his
parents, and at his death the princi-
pal would go to the Church. Thus
Jesus drew the deadly parallel col
umn: commandment of God VS..
the tradition of man." The only
answer they could make to that
was the cross, to which they nailed
Him.

Government In Business.

James A Sproule. after living in New
Zealand for good many years, corrects
some of the misconceptions that prevail
relative to that country. 1t is neither a
paradise or a Socialist democracy. On
the other hand it is not bankrupt, as
some of the capitalist papers have been
asserting. New Zealand state railroads
in 1910 cleared $5.4oI. 900. The state
borrows money in Europe and loans it 10
farmers and settlers at ~ per cent.
This saves the workers from the clutches
of the money sharks, yet last year cleared
$3.50, 900 for the state. The New Zealand
government has II, 833, goo acres Of lana
leased to 24.I7o state tenants, and the
New Zealand labor department obtained
employment for 6.3o5 persons. The
state railroads employ $4,000 people.
While the state isin debt for some of the
utilities it owns, it is different from the
debt that this country owes. Back of
the New Zealand Indebtedness are in
dustries that are productive. that will pay
out the debt. There is nothing of that
kind in America. New Zealand is far
from being a. Socialist country. yet it is
there illustrated that there is something
practical about the state managing and
operating utilities.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


By unanimous vote, the house
authorized the Judiciary committee to
begin a thorough investigation into the
charges Of misconduct in Office against
Federal Judge Cornelius Hanford. of
Seattle. and to send subcommittee to
Seattle to take testimony.
The action Of the house and the re-
quest for such authority by the Judiciary
committee indicates that the allegations
against the Seattle jurist are based upon
strongly damaging preliminary evidence.
The charges are in the form of afidavits
from residents OF Seattle, presented by
Victor Berger, the lone Socialist of the
house. and Representative Norris. pro-
gressive Republican. member of the
judiciary committee.
Judge Hanford is charged with habitual
drunkenness, corrupt discrimination in
favor of railroads and other corporations

Pennsylvania Takes over 5000
Miles OF Road.

The State of Pennsylvania on June I
formally took over the 5000 miles of
''main highways" in the Sproul bill.
Control and maintenance of these high
ways henceforth will be in the hands of
the state.
Only 500 miles of these roads have
been improved. The remaining 1900 are
just earth roads or abandoned or con-
demned turnpikes. There will be 90, 600
miles Of roads OF lesser importance,
which will not come under the jurisdic-
ton Of the state highway department,
and are not included among the thorough
fares to be improved if the people next
year approve the $50, 900, 900 bond issue
for the building of roads.
The state highway commissioner. E.
NJ Bigelow. has divided the state into
fifteen districts. and each district will be
in charge of an engineer from the de-
partment, who will have charge of the
highway superintendents, thirty-one of
which have already been named by the
commissioner. Each superintendent will
have about $50 miles OF highway to look
after. and it will be his duty to see that
repairs are made as soon as hole or
uneven spot is discovered The i'm
proved highways will be patro.led by
men who will be responsible for stretches
of from one to three miles in length.
The earth roads taken over will also be
improved. Machinery will be furnished
by the state TO the superintendenls, and
they will drag. scrape and roll the roads
until they are smooth and as durable as
possible

On the eve of the National Democratic
Convention, The following timely editorial
from southern paper. contains much
good food for thought for the democrats:
This country is more democratic now
than ever before. Even the republican
party is trying to be democratic.
"Many OF the republican congressman
have been voting for democratic meas
ures. They have done this in response to
the demand of their constitutents. They
have been forced TO follow the trend of
the times in accepting those things
which the democratic party has
been fighting for They have demon
strafed by their votes that they and their
party are getting to be democratic.
lust at this time when the whole
country is getting to be democratic, it
would be the height of absurdity and the
essence of folly for the democrats to re-
trace their steps from their rightfnl posi-
lion as progressives and take mp the re-
dictionary policies a 'out to be abandoned
by the republicans. 1t would be suicidal
for the democrats to now become repuhli-
cans, as il would be the salvation of the
republicans to become democrats.
There are some democrats who want
these inter changes of position to take
place. hut the number is small constiin-
ting helpless minority. that will not he
able to direct the nomipatiaI or TO write

true. the democratic party will remain
