SLOW MURDER BY DRUGS.

Among the poor in the crowded
cities, where the stress of life is
cruel, the sale of dope" is not only
large, but ominously increasing.
There are no exact figures. The
business has not been regulated
enough to produce figures. But in
every group of the down-and-outers,
of the pathetic driftwood cast up on
the tide-washed short OF life, you
can see pitiful examples of the
wreckage caused by opium and CO.
eaine.
Because you yourself have been
strong enough, or happy enough, not
to be tempted to buy deceptive
pleasure at the expense of health and
hope. don't be harsh in Judging these
poor wrecks, whose rebound from
misery has led to ruin.
They have fallen victims to tempt
ztiOns which you may have done very
little to remove. Unless you have
done your best to help them in their
weakness and to check the greed
which lures them on, it isn't in your
right to hurl reproaches.
Get busy and help find out what
your state laws are on the subject,
and If they aren't strong enough, or
II the dopers are lodging its en-
foreement, do something.
One plan proposed to check the
dishonest sale of habit-forming drugs
is to require all dealers in them to
take out internal revenue licenses.
That would enable any state to
learn who the dealers are and to
adopt further regulation If it is so
wished.

THE MAIDEN TRIBUTE TO MOD
ERN CARELESSNESS.

On recent Saturday night, as the
parade went up and down a busy
street of certain city, count was
kept of 100 young girls lowering
around that fascinating and also that
dangerous age, sweet sixteen"
How many OF them, do you sup
pose, had their cheeks bedaubed with
paint or powder? How many seemed
on the way to trouble?
Exactly forty-two!
Nor were they, so far as casual
scrutiny could determine, the kind,
the pathetic, pitiable kind, known as
painted ladies'"
They seemed to be good girls,
most likely from clean homes; at
least not from homes where vice is
cherished. At worst they were only
fluttery, foolish, frivolous girls
moths attracted by the glare of the
white lights. But
Weren't they taking long chances? 1?
And weren't their parents? For
that matter, wasn't society, which,
knowing the natural craving of the
young for fellowship, for recreation,
nevertheless left to chance whether
these and similar gay promenaders
should find wholesome amusement
or be enticed into mischief?
You didn't have to travel far up
or down that busy street to find
plenty of places into which you
wouldn't want to have a daughter of
yours inveigled.
Vulgar picture shows, dance halls
run for profit, and ladies en-
frances abounded. And guardian
angels, If equally numerous, certain
ly weren't visible. Yet the town
isn't bad town. It's just typical.
You could see the same conditions
in almost any city between the
oceans.
These poor, little seekers after
companionship and mild, flirtatious
excitement, their brains no doubt
muddled by romance" and melo-
drama, had bedizened themselves
with the artifice of cosmetics to at
tract notice and perhaps lure the
fancy of a hoped-for prince charm
ing.
What were their mothers thinking
about?
What are we all thinking about,
that we calmly allow such a hazard
of needless sacrifice? What are we
doing to provide places in which
girls like these may commingle with
other young folks and have good
time safely?

Selling Butter by Parcels Post

they get better butter for 80 cents a
pound"

There are songs without words,

Job may have been pestered with

FRENZIED FOOLISHNESS.

1.-TWO souls with but one single
thought, two hearts that beat as
one,"
Is very pretty sentiment, although
quite overdone.
B. Bryan and C. Clark have signed a
protocol of peace,
Help Murder! Fire!" and
POUNDS, gadzooks!" and like
wisely "Police!"
They've signed love pact" 'twixt
themselves that naught but
death can part,
And their past differences, now,
leave nothing but their smart;
At least, so one would judge who
reads the public prints,
But, privately, between us girls, |"
by way of helpful hints,
Their two souls have one single
thought, and both their hearts
are bent
On burying the hatchet, but with

al hope he chokes," thought Speaker
Clark, as Bryan shook his fin
81 wonder where twill hurt him
most to sink my dagger in?"
Bryan murmured, as he bid the
Speaker to the feast,
A-glaring all the time at Champ just
like an untamed beast
'I'll ne'er forget the wrong you did
to me at Baltimore,
Although from this time on, dear
Bill, you only I'll adore"
But Beauchamp had his fingers
crossed when at Bill he did
swing;
He had his stinger out a mile and
stung Bill one good sting.
But now that Bills a diplomat ant
has to lie a heap,
He never batted one eyelash or gave
one single peep,
Although he was just hopping mat
and filled with fight and bile,
Bill Bryan grasped the Speaker
hand and beamed a welcome
smile.

about you, Champ, old top"
He placed the accent on the mean
and then he had to stop
To get his breath and dodge a blow
that Champ aimed at his jaw
The only thing that stopped the row
was their respect for law.
And so they kissed and made it up
did Bryan and Champ Clark;
They've laid aside their bowie knives
like Bourne and Selling have.
And all their idle moments now ar,
spent in spreading salve.
The world is surely growing better
such sights are good to see;

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN.

Couldn't we all get something
from the example of Rev David ].
Higgins, the Methodist minister. who,
at the age of 80 years, has just en-
tered a Minnesota college?
No doubt in this good, old domi-
nie's case the motive which sent him
to school wasn't quite the same as
that which chiefly prompts younger
folks. He doesn't pursue knowledge
for payroll reasons. His days of
money worry are over. He is going
to college wholly as one who wants
study for study's sake.
Most of us are differently situated.
We have to plan to buy our school
ing so as to get the best economic
return. The dollar spent must bring
at least a dollar back; if more, all
the better.
But there is many good chap work
ing in mills or on farms who could,
in later life, find and profitably use
the means to do little more school
ing if he weren't possessed of the
notion that he's too old; if he were
mt secretly afraid that somebody
would make fun of so mature a
schoolboy as he.
Nonsense! One is never too old
to learn. The mistake We all make
is in not insisting upon learning
more than we do; in not, for in
stance, using more fully than we do
machinery right at hand.
In most places the public school
plants aren't worked half enough.
At night they're lille. Also Satur-
days. Likewise Sundays. If we
wanted to have schooling for the
older folk we could easily do it with
out stinting the youngsters.
Many places are doing it, At last
report, aboht 800. We don't mean
places with just the common run of
night schools, but with varied pro-
. ohAG iOl lCSuldl
social centers.
That's a kind of schooling that
grownups can go to without feeling
the least bit schoolboyish. It's a
kind that can be made fully as enter
tanning as instructive. More even
than that-it nurtures a feeling of
democracy, of brotherhood, of hu-
man interest, that's hard to find any
where else, because elsewhere grown
folks run pretty much TO cliques;
whereas in social center as in the
common school, those who so are all
on one level
Not every adult would care, with
Parson Higgins, to go to college if he
had the means and the time or, in
deed, the preparation. But it would
be fine if all who really want to
keep on learning would, each in his
neighborhood, make the move to do
so in something of the spirit of our
Minnesota brother.

The Tidings reporter was shown a
remarkably interesting picture, or
rather several remarkably interesting
pictures, at the home of Rev. B. C.
Tabor at 459 Morton street. They
were nothing less than reflections of
the landscape in the plate glass doors
of the cottage. The double reflec-
ton, the doors being at right angles
to one another on the porch, gave a
clearness of detail and a vividness of
color which made the pictures works
of art. Mr.. Tabor delights to show
these pictures to anyone who cares
to see them. They are at their best
in bright weather.

Odds 6 Ends
Picked Up by the Reporter.

II am fully convinced that you
have not the criminal instinct-that
the desire for pecuniary gain was
back of your downfall" These were
the words used by California judge
in sentencing a defaulting banker
Is not the "desire for pecuniary
gain" at the expense of others a
criminal instinct as much as any
other form? 1t is the handspring of
nearly every impulse to robbery, bur-
glary, gambling, white slavery, and
even of many murders. The desire
for pecuniary gain is laudable if
properly directed, but too often it is
the handspring of crime and has
caused more crime than all other
things.
