Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN a. NYE.
Furnishing LAZINESS.


In California laziness is crime.
Last month Edward Westlake OF
Sacramento was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment for refusing to
work and provide for his family, and
Admirable justice! Et
He Is now employed on the public
highways at a wage Of $3.50 per day.
And
What is still better, the county pays
every cent of Westlake's wages to his
family. h
Laziness is q vice.
It is more than a weakness. The
man who is able to work and has the
opportunity and will not work is vi
cious.
Everywhere such men are to be
found, who refuse to work when the
chance is given them, who throw the
burden Of the support of the family on
the wife and children or upon the COM
| munity.
And
Under the laws Of most states the
family and the community are help
less. The men may be arrested as
Migrants or for lettering and thrown
into Jail. But that helps nothing.
In fact, that binders, because
The man is not cured of his idleness,
but is confirmed in it. The state feeds
| and cares for him comfortably and
after certain period turns him loose
again. In the meantime his wife and
children suffer and in many cases
would starve but for the state.
How society bIundersl
When the future historian comes to
write of our treatment Of derelicts he
will blister that page.
Sacramento has the sane idea.
1t is taken for granted there that the
man who is able to work and will not
! Is vicious member Of the communt-
ty.
The state Furnishes the crime of
which he is guilty-poetic justice-by
his commitment to hard labor.
And
While It Furnishes, the state provides
for the rest of the family. 1t steps in
in loco PARENTS ct husbandis--takes
the place Of the husband and father.
Isn't that a simple way?
And effective? And just? And mer-
ciful?

son, ana taking into consideration the
obstacles they have had to meet and
overcome. The wealth per capita of
Denmark is comparatively next to that
of England. This wealth, however, is
equalized. There are no very rich peo-
pie there. Every man is fairly we'll
off, but the poorer he is the more care
Material we'll being is as common in
Denmark as education. There is no
illiteracy in the country. Every man,
woman and child over the age of
seven years, unless he be an idiot,
can read and write. The methods by
which they have achieved their pres
emit prosperity are three: Education
practical education-a perfect sys-
tenn Of cooperation, and the intelli-
gent assistance of government. For
instance, the only means of living
which the Danes have is agriculture.
Denmark, Hike julius Caesars Gaul of
ancient days, is divided into three
parts-butter, bacon and eggs. Now
the government, being dependent upon
the farmers, does everything in it's
power to increase the number of small
farmers, and this it has done by max
ing money as cheap as possible for
the farmers. An agricultural laborer
in Denmark who has worked ON a
farm for five years, who is poor, and
who has a character so good that two
reputable members of his commune
will certify to it, may obtain from one
Of the government banks a loan of
about 1852 in our money. He OBJ
! ability and not by any material secur-
| ity he can offer. With this money he
may purchase farm of from three
and one-half to twelve acres. This
farm means live and dead stock on
the land and the necessary nipple
ments for the working Of it. The
amount loaned by the bank covers
probably nine-tenths of the value of
the farm-not of the land, because
land in Denmark is never sold merely
as land. The farm is judged by the
value of it's production for, let us say,
at least seven years in hard corn,
which represents it's ability to sustain
dairy cattle and hogs"

Two RepuIsive Pictures.
In the atelier of Adolph William Bou-
guereau, the great French painter,
there hung two terrible pictures. One
represented a man dying in the desert,
with the frightfuI form of the angel of

depicted Dante and Vergil in hell
watching one victim madly gnawing
at the throat of another. The two pic

GOVERNORS MESSAGE BRIEF
Lays Special Stress on Passage Of Re.
apportionment Bill.

Lays Special Stress on Passage of Re-
apportionment Bill.
Governor Eberhart's message, read!
at a joint session of house and senate.
Is a brief statement Of the needs for
the three measures mentioned in the
call for the session, statewide pri-i
mary bill, stringent corrupt practices
act and reapportionment bill. In ad-
dition the governor asks the legisla-
ture to ratify the proposed income tax
and direct election OF United States
senators, both being amendments to
the federal constitution, and to pro-
vide for congressional reapportion-
ment of the state.
The governor demands the exten-
sion of the primary bill to all state
Offices. He says that the primary law
eliminates the domination OF the spe-
cial interests by placing the people
who are the source of all political
power-in direct control" He makes
no suggestion as to second choice or
other features of the bill.
In brief paragraph devoted to the
need for new corrupt practices act
the governor says that the present act
IL inadequate.
The most vigorous part of the mes
sage is the discussion Of the reappor-
tionment question. Here the governor
quotes from the state constitution and
declares that the refusal of the special
session to provide for reapportion-
ment would be a deliberate defiance
of the right of the people to govern
themselves.

New System of Towing.

Tests of a new towing system in
vented by a German government en-
gineer, Herr Koss, have been recently
made on the Hiltrup section q 40
miles in lengthy of the Dortmund Ems
canal. An elastic rail is laid at the
bottom of the canal. and the tugboat
carries at its bottom four rollers
which clasp the rail. These rollers
are operated from the boat which is
thus propelled. A large economy of
power is claimed for this method. The
experimental tug is worked by cleo
tricity, the energy being obtained
through a cable from an auxiliary
boat equipped with a dynamo. This,
however. is only a provisional ar
rangement, and in ordinary working
q trolley wire would be installed
alongside the canal. Electrical opera
ton can obviously be replaced by
crude oil motors, etc, each barge be-
Ing fitted with set of rollers acting

timely advice. AS we dope it out,
that was the one before the next to

not, Hon. Fitz traded that one for a
new one, and got a bath robe to boot

views with alarm the cruelty of eat
seldom committed in Kansas, as the
average oyster dies of exposure and

well to avoid trouble with the S. P.

and respect-even though he may at
times catch sparrows and other game
birds. Our friendly feeling toward
the tomcat may be noted by a visit

SAYS UNCLE CAV

If you ever have the hard luck to
be betrayed by a friend, take your
medicine and don't make a face as it
goes down. The world has little
sympathy for goats 1t expects
you to be smart enough to take care
of yourself, and the worst thing that
can happen to you is to be pitied be-
cause you can't.
1t goes without saying that none
of us has aught but hatred for
traitor. But it is just as true that
all of us have a sneaking suspicion
that he who is the victim of treach-
cry is more than half a fool This
worlds a pretty brave place, and
while we have little to say concerning
our unfailing demand for Spartan
qualities in those whom we choose
to love and admire, the fact remains
that few of us have any use for VIC
tim. We may feel sorry for him, we
may pity him, we may even try to
right his wrongs, but at the bottom
fidence in him has suffered a sad
dininution.
Even as nothing succeeds like sue
cess, so nothing fails like failure.
The lame duck is never really fac
tor in the affairs of strong men, and
this is a strong mans world. Once
your normal dignity suffers the shock
of betrayal, there is no cure for your
state except to girdle up your loins
and win back your place.
Thus, if you have suffered wrong
and tell your tale, you but lower
yourself in the estimation of your
associates. If you take your medi-
cine smiling, or even grimly, but at
any rate without flinching, you have,
in the popular mind, demonstrated
your superior strength and turned
your loss to gain. Little that matters
can happen to you while your
strength is in evidence. But when
you confess yourself victim, Won
only extend an invitation to the next
strong man you meet to kick you into
the gutter.
