WAS IN NO HURRY.

Sheriff Hamburger tells story
which he picked up on recent trip
to Sing Sing prison, says the New
York Journal.
prisoner newly committed to the
prison was given a position in the
lock-step behind an inmate who had
been there for some time. The fol-
lowing conversation was overheard
Said the older inmate to the new
recruit: How long did they give
you, partner?"
"Oh, l got a raw deal" replied the
newly arrived one. I'm in for ten
years"
why, you've got nothing to kick
about" said the former. "Just tip
me off when you get out. l want you
to do an errand for me-"

THE DOCTORS.
(Oregon Journal.O

Oregon Journal.)
Recently, a writer in The Journal
made a bitter attack on the medical
profession.
1t is fashionable to do that. There
are those who would hang all the doc
tors, burn all the drugs and cocaine
the surgeons.
Perhaps the profession has short
comings. Perhaps the knife is some
times used when no operation is me-
cessary Perhaps the doctors are silly
in their notions as to what IS ethical
and nOn-ethical Perhaps there are
medical unfits just as there are unfits
in svery human walk.
Perhaps doctors often let patients
die who ought to be cured. Thus,

Objection is raised by some to the
idea that the income tax will provide
for exemption of in
1t Meets comes under a certain
Tho Disease. figure. They contend
such a proceeding is not
American and not democratic. If in
comes were to be taxed they contend
all incomes should be taxed no matter
how small.
There would be something to that
reasoning if there had been no such
thing as special privilege. If men had
nothing save what they had earned
there would be no need of making
exemptions. In fact there would be
no need of an income tax at all.
Theoretically the income tax Is
wrong for in a model world an income
tax would be tax on a mans in
dustry and ability. But our world is
not a model affair. It has become
very lopsided and the fact a man has
a big income no longer proves he is
either Industrious or capable. The
graduated income tax with exemptions
is device for restoring the balance.
The remedy must fit the disease.

In an address this week before the
young people from the various Meth
odist churches of Port
God and land the Rev. Fred B.
The World. Fisher, of New York ex-
pressed advanced ideas
on the subject of the Bible and re-
ligion.
1T must not be forgotten that the
Bible is a great piece of literature"
said Rev. Mr.. Fisher, in part. We've
locked at the Bible as sacred book
for so long that many people have lost
Interest in it. And really, we too Of
ten force little children up to study
things that they are not ready to
study.
The trouble is, young people, that
We all try to make our religion too Ill
vine, when it is the most human thing
in the world. We set our religion on
too high a standard. That is why so
many young people are out of the
church. 1t is by seeing the thing that
is nearby that we get the truest reve-
lation of God"
In other words Mr.. Fisher feels that
God is closely related to the world of
the present and did not exist only in
antiquity. The idea is not entirely
new, however. Such an idea was held
by one man who was born in the year
1859. He was Baron de Monies
quieu and in the Spirit of Laws" he
said: God is related to the universe
as Creator and Preserver; the laws
by which He created all things are
those by which he preserves them"
Many people inside the church and
out consider God as something apart
from the world rather than as part of
the world. It is the view of those
who are moved by superstition rather
than by reason.
In succeeding to the position held
by ]. P. Morgan, E. T. Stotesbury will
do well to plan not to repeat some of
his great predecessors actions Unless
he has curiosity to see the inside

a BUSINESS VIEW.

The following, from the Wall Street
Journal, gives Il view Of the Mexican
situation as seen from Wall street,
the center Of the country's banking
and investment enterprises:
Toward the close of tho week
President Wilson expressed himself
as much encouraged over the trend
of tho negotiations regarding Mexico.
The hope was then l.eld out that the
aims of the administration could I've

'ment established without intervention.

that when you did not know anything
about a subject you had better not

newly laboring mentality Of hers:

To begin with. it was all Mrs. Muir

Murray-Grace, feminine Aries follow
