T>HREE things have been
brought out very clearly in
the recently concluded trial
of two young men before the
United States District Court in
California under the Mann act.
The first of them is the grow
ing tendency of society to esti-
mate the bearings of the case in
terms OF it's social reactions.
The second is the astonishing
numbers of people competently
prepared for life at every point
except the one which has to do
with the conduct of their love life.
And the third, which is the
most pressing, is the need of es-
tablishing suitable restraints and
penalties to meet similar offenses
in the future.
1t is not alone in expressed
public opinion that the new atti-
tude toward such irregularities is
demonstrated.
In the sort of men chosen for
the Jury, in the courts interpre-
tation OF the law, and especially
in the charge to the Jury, there
is a notable absence of the dispo-
sition of men mutually to con-
done offenses peculiar to them
selves as men.
Out in the West it is certain
that sufficient number of citi-
zens have grown up and out of
this ancient reconsideration OF
women to stamp our public rat
ing Of this affair with a new NOR
al force.
Any obloquy resting upon US as
community in which such
things can happen has been more

than counterbalanced by the spir-
it IN which 1t has been met
But the other two items are
still to meet. The one of them
involves a measure of prevention,
the other concerns the question
of the cure.
An extraordinary insuff1ciency
OF the knowledge of the princi-
Piles of human conduct was shown
by the parties to the case. They
knew, of course, that what they
did was called wrong, wicked"
but they did not know it to the
degree which prevented them
from doing it, as they could have
been prevented by knowledge
from exposing themselves to
smallpox or the plague. And yet
the social consequences of such
acts are as certain and as widely
known as the consequences of in
lection. The knowledge which
these young people had did not
penetrate to or affect their love
life. Hers society must hold it
self somewhat to blame.
There is knowledge enough in
the world as to the nature of the
responsibilities that are tied up
with loving and the ever-reach-
Ing effects of the wrong love re-
lation to safeguard all the young
people of the world II we could
only get it to them. And II is
our duty TO get it to them. They

the proper conduct OF their love

ly understood, to embrace an the
social and personal relations and
obligations that arise out Of low
ing.
One of the first things a writer
of fiction learns Is the extraor~
binary ignorance of the majority
of people Of human exigencies
outside OF their own experience.
For this reason alone the old
way OF leaving instruction in the
important issues of life to the
parents has not prove satisfac-
tory. In many cases the parents
do not know how to help their
children meet crises they haven't
themselves met. They lack knowl-
edge of social conditions and the
teaching art. For telling young
people that life is thus and SO
is not always teaching them.
Things like this are never really
taught until they are taken into
the working consciousness Of the
individual.
Here in America we spend a great
deal on the young generations
1t behooves us as business PEG
pie to spend a little more tine
and consideration to prevent them
making fiasco OF their lives, as
in the present instance. For thar
is the outcome of the whole a.
fair.
These young men. because or .
certain failure of efficiency in on
ly one department of their lives
have not only damaged the Wo-
men to whom they were relate"
and the children they begot 'n.
they have wasted themselves. ~
one yet knows what is to be lhs
practical outcome Of this case IN
its effect upon Others -.-.--D--1.1.

The Laws of Nature

\ MOST notable event oc-
n Cured the other day, one
that filled me with start
ling ideas and hope l received
seven requests to explain the
Laws of Nature. These are the
most gratifying letters l ever have
received in one day, during forty
six years of almost constant pub

Here is my own opinion from
constant contact with people from
every nation in the world during
thirty -four years In an astronom-
ical observatory. one person in
each one thousand of the entire
race human has ever heard of a
Law of Nature. One in ten thou
sand has ever seen one of
these stupendous laws in print.
They have not read the proper
books. They have passed by the
giorles wearing almost black
glasses. and have missed nearly
all.
In my thirteen years writing for
the Hearst newspapers ! have
published perhaps twenty OF these
laws, when writing the long Sc
ricS on Radiant Energy, and the
other series on Electricity. Three

Stunning that only those having
previously put in years of study

recent questions, more than ever

Five of the Laws.
!. Light in passing from rare

refracted toward the normal; and
in passing from dense to rare
medium is bent out OF it's course
from the perpendicular. Every
telescope and microscope, every
lens is based on this law.
Ii. The set specific heat of any
chemical element is inversely
proportional TO its atomic mass.
III. The sum of the products
of the resistance in ohms, and
current-strength, in amperes, in
each OF several conductors is
equal TO the sum of all the cleo

~. An planets in the solar sys-

V. The differential of a varia-.

ponent, the varia BILE with it's ex-
ponent less l, and the differential
of the variable.

Life Would Pail.

Mary Baker Eddy and Helen
wilmans and Wallace Wattlea
and Eleanor Kirk all talked this
same philosophy; all believed
they had entered upon life eter-
nal in this body on this earth.
Yet all are gathered to their
fathers All changed their
worlds"
All live, on other planes in
higher states of Consciousness.
No doubt all come near the old
scenes and influence those whose
minds are tuned in the same key,
at times.
Yet they have experienced that
change which we call death.

The Main Object.

TN HE main object of most hui
man beings is to avoid
death, and yet death is the
only certain thing in life.
From the hour we draw the
first breath we are going forward
to meet death.
Instead of regarding death as
foe, would it not be more sensible
to think of it as friend?
One who comes to take us on
delightful journey?
There are some advanced meta
physicians who talk and write
about the possibility of living
continually and perpetually in
this body. George Francis Train
declared he should do so. He
believed he had overcome death.
He believed he had acquired the
life habit, and he meant to prove
that there was no need of chang
ing bodies.
But his body is now dust.
