THE new publicity in regard to pros
titutiOn in itself forces the church into
radical action; understanding OF the
sinner has ever been essential to his
forgiveness. knowledge Of conditions
has ever preceded social reform. II it
is discovered that the brothels are
filled with overfat:gued and underfed
girls, procured by young men too poor
to marry then It 10 obviously the
business Of the church to obtain legal
OF labor, tx o. maximum wage and de-
scribe the conditions under which
young people may be permitted to
work; Il it 10 found that the army OF
girls and men required in this vile
the young heedlessiy looking for pleas
ure In vicious dance halls, on crowded
excursion boats, in careless amusement
parks. then it is the obligation Of the
pleasures and TO. provide others free
from dangers; II the new publicity con-
-tinues to disclose on the one hand the
enormous number OF little children who
very congestion Of the cities population
and discl0ses on the other hand large
number OF young people in the dreary
country communities who are drawn into
vicious practices through sheer reaction
from the monotony and grayness of their
lives. then nationwide church in the
crowded city must advocate measures to
lessen the sensational evils of overcrowd-
ing. and In the village 1t must offer social
organization to all the solitary young peo-
pie Of the countryside: II 1t IL made clear
that youth L. insnared because Of its ig-
norance Of its fundamental facts of life,
then 1t To the duty of the church to pro-
mote public instruction for girls and lads
which shall dignity sex knowledge and
free II from all indecency. If it Is found
that degenerate children, born of diseased
and vicious parents, becOme an easy prey
for the brothel. It Is clearly the obligation
OF the church to challenge all applicants
for marriage and to work out through
modern agencies the admonit.on Of the
Hebrew teachers as to the responsibility
unto the third and fourth generation.
Society. lke-the individual. always
finds the contemporary test most diff
cult. While 1t easily boasts of those al
ready past and II IL unduly confident of
the future, II too often fails to meet the
test which faces il at q given moment
and which alone can reveal its genuine
courage and sincerity.
Changed Attitude Evident.
"All over the world are traces of
changed attitude toward the social evil
Not only are American cities such az
Chicago recommending restrictive meas
ures looking toward final abolition. but
European cities such as Vienna are
doubling the value Of their long-estab-
lished regulation and are therefore log
ically facing the same conclusion; the
medical profession Is abandoning its CEN

Tanned Skin.

In the majority of cases tanned skin
is an indication Of health. 1t is con-
dition resulting from the action of
chemical rays or Of the ultra violet
rays Of the sun on the pigment of the
skin. Tan may be produced also by
exposure to the rays Of a mercury
lamp or it may be caused electrically.
But in these cases it is no indication
Of the state of health. It does not
mean that there. has been MULTIPLE
cation of red corpuscles in the blood,
such as follows healthful exercise in
the open air. The tan acquired by
the skin at sea or ashore as a result
of life and exercise in the open air is
always a sign Of health, for the rea,
son that it is accompanied by general
conditions that do not obtain in the
case of electric tan.-New York Times.

Marketing tn; France. >

In France the housewife does very
little of the marketing. 1t is left to
the servants. There the servants do
the bargaining. If potatoes are 10
cents per pound and the. girl can get
them from some market woman for 8
cents she reasons that the mistress
should not profit by the bargaining.
but that she herself should have the
difference. The regular price. of the
potatoes being 10 cents.. the servant
marks them down in her book at that
price and pockets the difference. This
is one Of the peculiarities Of the French
method of keeping house. and it has
been found a real aid in keeping serv-
ants. The housewives are aware of
what is taking place, but they are sat
isfied to pay the regular market prices.
1t is the bargaining Of the servants
which gets them an extra allowance,
but as long as the eatables are up to
the standard the housewife does not
complain.-Boston Herald.

All over the state reports are be-

the history of the state has there been
so large a money crop as has been
harvested this year This is one Of
the exceptional years when crops
have grown under almost any con-
ditions but still, the farmer who has
properly prepared his land was we'll
paid for his efforts as his crops We're
enough better to repay him Tor all
work in preparing his land. Good
farming never paid better than it has
done the past season and the farmer
who farmed without making study
of his profession has only himself to
blame that his crops were not as good
as his neighbors.

The very grave danger OF fuel
shortage that threatened the country
in the fall has been lessened by the
splendid fall weather which has pre-
vailed. Weather conditions has been
exceptionally warm and pleasant and
as result there has been a very de-
cided saving in fuel as we'll AS in

much like that OF 1907 when it was

The Chief of Police in Fargo is in
trouble because, it is claimed, that
he was not satisfied to do his duty
as an officer, hired by the people to
enforce the law, but disregarded the
law made by the representatives of
the people elected to make them, aid
to make his own law to suit himself.
This man is only a fair sample o. the
men elected in the state to enforce
the laws of the state. The average
states attorney acts entirely arbi.
trarily in prosecuting criminals Or re-
fusing to do so and in many count.
les politics has in the past played
a prominent part in sending criminals
to the bar or saving them from the
ordeal. This is all wrong. The law
is very plain and any man that j:
hired to enforce the law should &c
SO, without regard to consequences OF
to who would be pleased or offended
The majority of the people should
rule. The majority made the laws
and therefore the laws should be en-
forced. The laws says very plainly
that certain evils shall not be allowed
to exist and whenever any officer at
tempts to evade the law to the ex
tent of ignoring the existance of these
evils he is very liable to be con
sidered a CRATER and in most instan
ces he is. People who are aware oil
the conditions in Fargo are inclined
to think that the police force have
neglected their duty, to put the charge
mildly.

President Taft at a dinner recent

President Taft at a dinner recent
ly, renew ed the suggestion formerly
made by others as well as himself,
that cabinet officers be given seats in
congress in order that as members Of
the lawmaking body they might de-
bate at first sand the policies. pro-
posed by the administration and that
congress might be in a position to
have such questions treated directly
instead of indirectly. OF course the
plan is a departure from that orig
mated by the trainers of the consti-
tuition. but that is no sign that it is
not a good one. 1t is an adoption in
part of the England method, but that
need not condem it.
The plan on which our government
was arranged was that there should
be three departments of government,
each independent OF and separate from
the others. Each should serve as a
check on the others, but none should
be under the control of any other.
Time has changed the attitude of the
country on some of these subjects.
Leaving aside the growing power of
the judiciary, and the drift that there
has been in the direction of making
it really the supreme branch Of the
government, the people have come t o
look to the president, rather than to
congress, for the shaping of great leg
islativepolicies. The constitution is
based on the supposition that con-
gress shall enact, the president shall
executive the laws Really we have
grown to expect the president, not
merely to execute the laws, but to
indicate to congress what the laws
should be.
So long as the state of public feel
ing exists there seems to be good
ground for the advocacy Of the plan
OF giving cabinet members seats in
congress. At the present time the acts
of the administration, and it's pro.
posals, are reviewed by congress, and
the administration is in fact represent
ed there in an informal way. In every
session some member of congress in
each house is understood to be the
spokesman of administration He
proposed bills which are understood
to be administration bills. He ex-
plains administrative action. He de-
tends administrative policy. But he
has no official standing as represent
tative of the administration. The plan
is direct and unsatisfactory. The
direct plan, it seems, would be much
better.
