daily prayer, expressed in trustful
petition and in faithful labor, for
our supply of food has been abund-
antly answered. Also the spirit of
brotherhood has brown, under the
influence of the teaching Of "Our
Father" so that whoever is in real

Wise indeed is this plan for hav-
ing all men everywhere pray daily
that their common needs may be
met. That tie links children to
the Father. And 1t teaches us the
great, deep lesson that nothing that
affects us is too small to command
the interest of Him who marks the
sparrow's fall. Nothing reveals the
greatness and fatherliness of God
more than His solicitude for human
welfare in even the material things
of life.
Because He is a good Father, God
cannot ignore our profoundest hu-
man need, which is for forgive
ness of sin and freedom from sin.
The Teacher put this into the pat
tern prayer which He taught His
learners. The quality of forgiveness

The Storytelling Teacher
Whatever is worth doing at all, is
worth keeping on doing. Persistence
brings more than brilliancy in any
market. That men should "pray
without ceasing," Jesus taught by
the story of the man who went to
friend at midnight for bread, to
feed wayfaring guests. The friend
was sleepy, and lay, with his whole
family, on the common Oriental
floor His house was locked up
for the night. So he cried out--the
East still has no social proscrip-
tions against screaming messages
loudly-that He could not grant the
request. But the neighbor persisted,
with a din that reused the house
holders. nearby; and at length, to
still the disturbance and secure a
chance to go to sleep again, the un-
friendly neighbor got up and gave
the three loaves that were desired.

much better is the gracious Heav-
enly Fathers way? Even from this
inadequate parallel, learn. said

George Fitch On Bosses

A boss is a man who is a municipal |
or national depository for votes.
Under our glorious constitution
each man has one vote. However,
the constitution says nothing about
borrowing votes. Some men have .
the use of million at election time.
Some people imagine that boss is
a cruel and tyrannical individual who
takes the votes of the people and
walks on their neCks in return. He
is nothing of the sort. He is a kind
and affablc creature who takes your
vote and gives you more for it than
you could possibly get in any other
market.
No one is kinder than the boss is
to the man whose vote he is carrying
around in his vest pocket. However,
this very kindness is not at all times
the best for the rest of mankind.
A boss is as hard on the city as
chauffeur is on an automobile when
he is using it to haul his friends
around by night. After boss has
been using the city for the conven-
fence and happiness of his friends for
|
few years, the poor thing looks as
if the dogs nad been fighting over it.
The boss isn't leader. He
doesn't care where the people 60 if
he can only be allowed to follow be-
hind carrying their votes in neatly
sealed package. Sometimes bosses
will even assist in great reforms, be-
cause it they didn't the people would
take their votes back and cast them
themselves.
Some bosses boss for the mere love
of it. Others boss for the love OF
richly furnished homes and large bank
accounts. After a boss has begun
renting out the votes of his constitu-
ents to the highest bidder, it is very
hard indeed to prevent him from be-
coming an odoriferous millionaire.
The boss motto is: "Give the
people what they want, but get a
commission on it," When the
bossed people of an American city
want paved streets they can have
them, but they cost twice as much as
they do in other towns.
: Sooner or later every boss gets tc

do you realize that Eliene is max

THE SAME OLD STORY.

THE Maryland Legislature is at the
same old game of padding the pay
rolls. After adopting a new set of
Rules that promised new era of
things and after solemnly impressive
speeches by the respective presiding
officers that sounded an economy
note" we are being treated to the US
ual spectacle of horde of useless Of
ficials that are handed out "jobs" for
no better or more valuable pubic SER
wee than the bare purpose of paying
political debts. How can it be done?
Oh! That is easy, when the old Demo-
cratic Machine is well settled in the
saddle and is strongly equipped with
an overwhelming majority. 1t then
becomes with said Machine a simple
question of how far it can go in giving
out political pap" to the ''boys", at
the taxpayers expense. If the tax
payer has any inclination to "kick,"
let him. The political Machine don't
mind. 1t knows full we'll that when
the next election rolls around, it will
only have to yell vote the ticket" to
make the taxpayer bury his woes,
forget his disgust and march up to
the polls promptly and submissively to
give another lease of life to that same
oil dmachine.
And so the thing goes merrily on,
the taxpayer footing the bills and the
political hack fattening off the per-
Torrance.
Great is politics and greatly to be
praised.

EFFECTIVE WORK.

THE newspapers gave quite re-
markable and valuable illustration last
Tuesday of their efficiency as a med
ium of publicity. Senator Williams,
of Cecil, introduced in the Senate, at
about one o'clock, the resolutions on
the good roads situation which are
printed in another column of this
weeks WING. When Senator Will
liams, by permission Of the President,
was about to address the Senate on
the subject of his resolutions, Senator
Benson raised an objection on point
of order and the President felt con-
straine dto sustain him. Immediately
the Baltimore evening papers asked
Senator Williams if he would allow
them to use his contemplated remarks
in the form of an interview. Mr.. Will
liams assented and in less than three
hours his dictated remarks, occupying
several columns were laid in full be-
fore the ewes of the General Assembly
in Annapolis.
1t was rapid and effective newspa-
per work. What Senator Benson had
succeeded in choking off las he
thought) on picayune point of order
had been given a wider and fuller pub
licity, and the daily press had proved
its ability to turn on the light.
Meanwhile we inquire, as do many
others, why was Senator Benson so
eager to turn off the light?
