Some people are so lazy, about the
only thing they'll do with their feet is
to push on the pedals of a piano.
Talk about graft! It's possible for
a~dentist to have a pull with every
body. c
A woman can believe she is lib
eral-minded because she is always
giving her husband a piece of it.
A green baby that looks like a.
sealded monkey. always looks like

If there are four children in the
house next door it always sounds like
four thousand.

a mule, the mule would lose it's repu-
tation as the champion kicker.

LIQUOR STILL TRAVELLING.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan 9.-The pass
age of ordinances to prohibit ship
ment of liquor into dry cities in nli-
nois is vain, according to Atty. Gen.
p. ]. Lucey, who declares that not
only may interstate shipments con-
-tinue but, despite the Wedd-Kenyon
law, Interstate shipments are still
permissible. 1t
Lucey was asked for an informal
opinion on the ordinance recently
passed at JacksoNElle, in dry terri
tory, imposing fine of $50 in case
of conviction for shipping liquor into
the city, and a similar ordinance
passed in Eldorado, under which suits
were brought, the companies con-
victed and appeals taken.
"Cities have no authority to pass
such ordinances" said Lucey. ''The,
laws of the state do not warrant such
municipal acts, and nothing but
state enactment would bestowG the
authority needed"

Washington's Opportunities.

The Washington Herald on the first page of this
issue, makes an appeal to its readers to take ad-
vantage of the last day of opportunity to cooper
ate with the Associated Charities in bringing
cheer to needy but worthy families in the District
OF the original fourteen Opportunities" eleven

ed These eleven families represent as many
courageous adults struggling bravey and cheerfully
against the strong current of necessity to make
forty-two children good citizens and desirable
members of society.
1t is happy commentary on the National Capt.
tai and its inhabitants that this year, despite the
heavy drain which generous contribution to Red
Cross, Belgian Relief, Christmas ship and other
charities growing out of the European war has put
upon their purses the annual call for the Associ-
ated Charities has met with strong response. The
Washington Herald cannot but feel confident that

OF course it is not known how much dependence
can be placed upon the claim, reported from Glou-
cester, Mass, that John Hays Hammond, jr, has
invented new type of projectile which will scat
ter a white hot mixture of molten steel and follow
it with the release of deadly gas which would
prevent the FIRE being extinguished The Pittsburgh
Dispatch declares it sounds something like that
famous fight of French fancy that was supposed
to asphyxiate everything living within 400 yards.
But if young Mr. Hammond has invented such a
proectile why the refinement of cruelty in burning
and bIistering the victims who are to be immedi-
ately overcome by the release of the deadly gas?
Why not shoot the gas bombs at 'em and kill

Some 4,I43 men applied for citizenship papers
in New York's county clerks Office in the past
thirty days. Seems patriotic but as a matter of
fact the rush for citizenship is attributed to the
steps taken to enforce the law providing that only
citizens of the United States shall be employed on
public work. thus barring aliens from employment
on the new subway construction. Hundreds OF
Italian laborers and the more advanced workers,
such as Firms, who mainly timbermen, took
out first papers because they thought that they
could resume work.

Now there are signs that the world is changing
in its attitude toward religion. 1t is asking why
the Christ ideal has not been more faithfully sus-
tanned.
And leaders, inspired by Tolstoy and other
prophets, are voicng with tremendous power the
need of the world for this ideal in all its SIM
plicity.
And there is developing a spirit of democracy
that is, essentially Christs spirit For thousands
of men it is becoming religion, though they may
not call it such.

AS man Christ was, first Of all, placed low in
the worlds scale. His heritage from King David
can hardly have been recognized by those who sur
rounded Him in His earlier years.
Besides, if it had been, it would have made His
state the more pathetic. For at that time it must
have been discreditable' just it is now to be of
good birth and yet so poor as to be classed with
people of menial occupation.
An everyday carpenter who claimed to be
descended from king would at all periods be
regarded as joke.
For all aristocracy is essentially based in eco
nomicS
Poor aristocrats are always referred 20 as ere
duced." If they remain reduced long they cease

Exactly the thing would happen today.
Can't you see the aristocrats of the period
asking one another superciliously: who is this
fellow? Has He had any sort of training? What is
this rubbish that He talks?7

A Line O Cheer Each Day o the Year.
First printing of an original poem, written daily
for The Washington Herald
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-24

With such a beginning, with the life of Christ
constantly held up example, one wonders
how the Christian religion could ever have wavered
from its democratic character. Its spirit penetrat-
ed every department of life, overturnng the ideas
that sustained the old forms of government
And yet it was to become the bulwark of
aristocracy
Here is one of the greatest of all marvels.
1t illustrates the phenomenal capacity of human
nature to turn somersauts.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-24

quite so suggestive as they are now when the
world is readjusting its ideas of what great man
ought to be.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-24

But among the respectable there could never
have been any suspicion that Christ was destined
to become world-fgure and that His message
would be regarded the noblest ever received by
mankind.
1t must have been highly discreditable to be-
come Christian at this time and highly eccentric
far worse than it is now to become Socialist For
the aristocrats it must have meant fearful drop
in the social scale.
Aristocrats are vty stern with one another
They don't permit much freedom.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-24

But among the established aristocrats there are
always few people who are born democrats. They
are too broad-minded and too generous-hearted to
endure the limitations of class
Indeed, it sometimes seems to me that nearly
all democrats are born democrats. One is demo-
cratically inclined and one isn't. 1t is largely a
matter of feeling
1t is almost impossible to make democrat
Among Christ's hearers there must have been at
least few however of the rich and the successful
whose feelings joyously respond to His message
But most of his followers consisted of the un-
couth, the poorly clad, the unsuccessful.
And for such Christ openly showed His prefer
ence.
