DR.. D. W. Smouse of Des Moines,
chief examining physician for lead
ing life insurance company, makes an
encouraging report as to the decrease
in the use of intoxicants in Iowa. He
says he has noticed that within the
past few years the number of appli-
cants showing the use of intoxicating
liquors by the applicants has material
ly lessened His statistics also show
that the death rate from alcoholism
has greatly decreased within the past
few years. DR.. Smouse believes that
the time is coming when those afflict-
ed with alcoholism will be hardly
worth mentioning, they will be SO
small in number.

THOUGHT FoR The DAY

Never yet has man sung, painted,
prophesied, made a woman happy, nor
in anyway woven finer the spirit of his
time, but that God first covenanted
with his mother for the gift-and more
often than not, the potential gift was
startled into its supreme expression,
by the daughter of another. Will

General Leonard Wood contends
that the American flag should never
be used as drapery, and he is probably
right. "Old Glory is too sacred an
emblem to be used promiscuously as
a covering for rough boards and bare
and forbidding walls. Respect for the
flag can best be cultivated by respect

LABOR is WORSHIP.


Pause not to dream of the future be-
fore u.s.
Pause not to weep the wild cares that
come DER us.
Hank, how Creations deep, musical
chorus,
Underwriting goes up into heaven
Never the ocean wave falters in flow
ing.
Never the little seed stops in its
growing;
More and more richly the rose heart
keeps glowing,
Till from its flourishing stem it is
riven.
Labor is worship.'-the robin is
singing;
Labor is worship, wild bee is
ringing;
Listen. that eloquent whisper up
springing
Speaks to thy soul from out Natures
great heart.
From the dark cloud flows the life
giving shower:
From the rough sod blows the soft
breathiro flower;
From the small insect, the rich coral
bower;
Only man, in the plan, ever shrinks
from his part.
Labor is life, 'Tis the still water fail
eth;
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth;
Keep the watch wound, for the dark
rust assaiieth:
Flowers droop and die in the stiffness
of noon.
Labor is glory. the flying cloud light
ems;
Only the waving wing changes and
brightens.
Idle hearts only the dark future
frightens,
PLAY the sweet keys, wouldst thou
keep them in tune.
Labor is rest from the sorrows that
greet us.
Rest from all petty vexations that
meet US,
Rest from sin-promptings that ever
entreat us,
Rest from world sirens that lure us to
ILL.,
Work-and pure slumbers shall wait
on thy pillow:
Work-thou shalt ride over Cares
coming billow;
Lie not down wearied meath Woes
weeping willow;
Work with a stout heart and resolute
will,
Labor is health. Lo, the ,husbandmar
reaping,
How through his veins goes the life
current leapingi
How his strong arm, in its stalwar
pride sweeping,
True as sunbeam the swift sickle
guides,
Labor is wealth. In the sea the pear
groweth
Rich the queens robe from the frai
cocoon fioweth;
From the fine acorn the strong fores
bloweth
Temple and statue the marble bloc
hides.
Droop not, though shame, sin an
anguish are round thee;
Bravely fling off the cold chain tina
hath bound thee;
Look to yon pure heaven smiling b.
yond thee;
Rest not content in thy darkness
clod
Work for some good, be it ever S
slowly;
Cherish some flower, be it ever $
lowly:
Labor. all labor is noble and holy.
Let thy great deeds be thy prayer /
thy God.

Another Wisconsin Example

Fifteen years ago, We learn from
The Survey, a Chicago woman whose
husband earned sixty dollars per
month borrowed twenty-five dollars
to buy her son suit Of clothes. She
didn't wish her husband to know of
it, and told the loan shark so. Play
ing upon her dread of exposure, the
shark employed the well-knOwn arts
of his trade to nurse the loan along.
adding another layer Of usury when
ever the woman and her son seemed
on the point of extinguishing it. At
the sharks death, not long ago, he
had collected five hundred dollars
from his victims-and the loan was
still alive.
That is very common case. 1t
presents a subject with which Con.
gress, for the District Of Columbia,
and the legislatures of many states
have wrestled of late, Just such
merciless robbery of the poor by the
money lenders has existed every
wherewhere. What ought to be done
about it?
Various answers have come from
different quarters; but a completely
novel answer comes from Wisconsin
where politically they do many
strange things. such as taxing rail.
road property as heavily as farm prop
erty and attempting by an income tax
to make all citizens contribute to the
support of the state according to their
means.
Wisconsin has the usury law with
teeth in it. Under that law Milwau-
kee loan shark. reputed to be mill
ionaire. was recently sentenced to so
days in jail-the first time. We be-
lieye, that prison sentence was ever
given for usury in the United States.
This is radical, because robbing the
poor by unconscionable usury is a
genteel sort of crime 1t is committed
necessarily by persons possessed of
capital, who usually wear good clothes
and live in comfortable houses. 1t
bears a resemblance TO the honorable
trade of banking. The law has in
variably treated it as a genteel crime,
Furnishing it only with money
enforcement by way of loss OF inter
est or a fine-which. of course, the
loan shark promptly charged up to
his next victim.
The Wisconsin law, however, rec
ognizes the thing for what it is
namely. robbery of the meanest kind.
We heartily recommend this Wiscon.
sin example to every legislature that
is dealing with the loan shark prob

Commends Judge Hanford

Commenting on the withdrawal OF
citizenship from OLSON by Judge Han
ford, the Washington Times, an in
dependent paper, says:
If We understand the case correct
ly, the judicial actions was not taken
because OLSON was socialist, but be-
cause he announced himself opposed
to the constitution and the institu
tons OF this country,
Within the same week naturaliza
ton papers were refused to an Ital
ian by a New York authority because
the applicant said in event of war be
tween this country and Italy he
would take up arms against this
country. Yet nothing was said about
that ruling.
This nation must always remain
the asylum of the prosecuted. the har
Dor of free speech and free thought
but that does not carry with it the
proposition that it must be made the
spawning ground of ideas and par
ties which if permitted to grow
would destroy the very institution:
whose protection and freedom they
now claim.
IF a man does not believe in this
nation, its institutions. and its flag
he certainly has no business here
and should not only be denied hi:
naturalization papers, but he should
be deported.'
