FOLLOWING the decision in the GBn
= Watson case, comes another on the Oh
same line.
Judge Foster held the common sense view
that the entire article must be judged as q
whole; and that the Government could not
pick out portions of the same and indict the
author for those extracts.
He held that the Bible could be kept out
OF the mails, If the Book were to be Judged
by certain extracts.
There is no doubt whatever that Judge
Fosters decision was sound, and has been so
regarded by the legal profession, as we'll as
by the public at large
Last week another case of the same sort
came up, in New York.
For the purpose Of warning our young peo-
pie against certain sexual dangers, books
have been printed whose details, taken by
themselves and without regard to the motive
of the authors, violate the Act of Congress
as to obscene mail matter.
but the Judge held that the maotive of the
publisher must be considered and inasmuch
as the book itself showed that the purpose
was to safeguard the morals Of the inexpe-
rienced boys and girls, no violation of law
had taken place.
This decision is sound law, and good COM
mon sense. Otherwise, as [ argued to Judge
Foster, the aoorse q thing IS, the safer 1t IS,

ndoO Missionary Who Came to America and Let the

LIE shore did cause trouble and worry
among the international Anna lgamated
and Petrifed Purifiers of Mankind.
The name of the Hindoo is Shastri.
There's more to it, but that's enough-his full
entrimmings being lengthy and my space
limited.
Brother Shastri came over to this country,
from India, to act as delegate in the purify
ing processes of the International Purity
Congress-
Brother Shastri's name had been listed on
the official programme of the Congress. He
was scheduled to bob up, majestically, at the
appointed hour, during the sessions of the
Congress, and to say something which would
be neat and appropriate.
Brother Shastri was to be put up as an
exhibit, you might say, at this international
meeting of the Purifying Corn-club.
It was supposed that he would speak in
glowing terms Of the "work" as it looked in
his angle of the moral vineyard, and would so
conduct himself that Brother Solomon Flub-
dub and Sister Nancy Gadabout could feel
that they indeed and in truth, had got the
solar system by the tail, and were swinging
it around in particularly pious and purify
ing manner.
But la You never can tell. These Hin
docs are not like us Europeans. Shastri
actually believed we were so fond of the truth
that we would rejoice to hear it, no matter
how much it might surprise us, excite us,
disagree with us, and upset our favorite opin-
ions.
What fool he was, to be sure. You could

were made, directly and indirectly, to
induce these two women to accept in
stitutional and other care but with
out success. One ton of coal was sent
at first, this being the only assistance
of any kind they would receive; in
sisting, as they did until the end, that
they were self supporting In March,
groceries We're sent in and loans made
on two occasions, one OF which was
returned. In April two more loans
were made and part of one returned to
us. In May groceries were again fur
nished, money loaned and payments
made on some furniture. To make a
long story short this procedure con-
tinued during the summer, the total
amount OF relief given being 1920, Of
which $9.45 was returned. Two of our
visitors We're Interested directly in this
affair and both came to be regarded
as personal friends by the two sisters.
The little home was broken up a year
ago when one of the sisters died and
now the case is finally closed by the
death of the other a few days ago.
This is a case to which we would never
have given any publicity had not Mr..

forced the issue. They. would he dc~~ll'

deeply do we regret the necessity that
compels this statement
Mr. Roberts states that the result Of
this woman's appeal was that the AS
sociated Charities gave no relief. but
on the contrary that "the machine was
happy in that it had discovered a reason
by means of which It could excuse
itself for Withholding the hand Of
help" In view of the fpofe - f'-i- >@~7
how must we characterize Mr.. Roberts
statements2 The most cnatt,aL4. ,4..,.
we can take is that someone misled
him and that as he is a busy man, he
had no time to seek further. Truth,
Mr. Roberts, sometimes lies at the bot
tom of a well.
Another ming forgotten by Mr. Rob
erts If had ever known, is that John
Boyle O'Reilly, whose poem Mr.. Rob-
erts quotes CD as antagonstic to or
ganized charity, later made public
acknowledgement of his error and be-
came a firm advocate of its established
principles. We suggest for Mr.. Reberts'
persual another writer who perhaps
saw as much of the seamy side of life
as even Mr.. Roberts and his friends.
"Charity; which renders good for bad,
blessings for curses"
While regretting the spirit in which
this attack has been made on the AS
ISOLATED Charities we cannot be but
grateful. for we feel that the whole
matter has now been thrashed out.
The attitude of our opponents has been
made clear, and it is trusted that the
declaration of the principles of the AS

clarity. A good many misstatements

Undue Importance is sought to be at

ton is rarely heard that the figures of
1912-19l3 broke all records on practically
every important railroad system in the
country. The shrinkage in tonnage, now
the subject of unpleasant comment, will
not bring the total figure startlngly be-
hind that of 1912-1913, even at the worst.
although enough so to base a strained
argument that the country is receding
from an era of artificial business improve
ment. The latest traffic statistics have
doubtless come within view Of The inter-
state commerce commission and served
a useful purpose of enlightenment as to
the railroads actual condition and needs.
The records prove that whatever the
earnings have been during the record
year, costs increased at a still faster
rate. The statistics of expenditures for
maintenance OF way and equipment for
the current year will show close retrench-
ment in every quarter, but not enough
to maintain equitable percentages between
income and outgo. Wall street is pro-
fessedly mystifed at the continued unfa-
vorable exhibits, and it is one of the most
disquieting news features of the hour.

Dummy Directors Worried


Open expression of a Washington pur-
pose to pursue a crusade against orna-
mental and Incompetent directors of cor
pora tons and hold sucf OF them for mis-
management, and losses of property and
lives, has thrown a big scare into many
citizens of the financial world. IT never
dawned on a long list of professional di-
rectors'' who hold these places because
of wealth or social affiliation, that they
owe more TO the job than mere name, and
that the position carries with ii grave re-
sponsibilities. Several possible resisna-
tions are already suggested, az the sub
ject obtains wider attention and desir-
ability of the office may cease to appeal as
being strictly ornamental. There are
stony hearted workers who think that
railroad service would be improved by
the wedding out OF incompetents and
dummies" Owners of the property. and
the public are in prospect of having an
inning.
Public utilities stocks are multiplying
in favor and finding their way volunin-
ously into general circulation. 1t wss
not so very long ago that these properties
We're regarded as strictly local. created,
conducted and owned locally; now own
ership in hundreds of thousands of in
terror properties, Is scattered among
nyriads- of investors. The miscellaneous
distribution of the securities of local
utility companies has already brought
about a very desirable fellowship among
a mass of citizens who compose the pro-
gressive classes, and are the real ruling
element The development of this feature
broadens the general business intelligence
and feeds popular confidence in the ma
tions future.
Litigation from several sources threat
ems the distribution Of the Union Pacific
"melon," and the actual treasure may
remain in the companys strong box for
an indefinite period The right of the di-
rectors to give away vast accumulation
OF income, savings or profits to a favored
list of security holders is seriously ques-
toned by owners of other issues who
claim that any division of velvet that
leaves them out is unfair and Illegal
1t is whispered that the Industrious and
ever present Venner is also planning a
contribution to the campaign of litigation
and that he will be ready with his at the
proper moment. Others of the class who
are perpetually enlisted in campaigns for
the enforcement of corporate purity are
also said to be armed and equipped to
legally contest any and every Union Pa
cific plan for the allotment of accumu-
lated treasure. Some of the hard heads
think it is not improbable that the whole
matter of 'melon cutting may be in
definitely postponed. A faction of stock
holders is said to be in favor of holding
the entire sum as treasury asset.
