Where's The Sense, The Justice 2


There are events occurring in every
community which. If reported in a local
paper, would create commotion little
dreamed of. What to report and what
not to report often perplexes the edi-
tor. He is often justly accused OF
cowardice and favoritism, when all the
time he is looking toward the good
reputation of the town where his lot ia
cast. The local editor from necessity
almost constantly finds himself be-
tween two fires, and which ever way
he turns he IL sare to be unjustly criti-
cized. This is one of the pleasures OF
the newspaper business.
But wherein is the sense, the justice
to the city, TO pass by or smooth ovei
incidents Of a local matter that arouse
dissatisfaction and ire? When a spade
becomes a spade The world over there'll
be Liggerless fences.

Heroism Lives On.

The product of no age the possession of no
special class, the attainment OF the lowly as
well the great shining respondent while time
has marked off the years, heroism exists today
as splendid as ii did in the most glorious of the
days of chivalry. 1t is a trait of humanity
which but needs the occasion to rise to heights
that superb.
As in the sinking of the Titanic that disaster
which gave shock to the world, so in the sinking
Of the Monroe. appalling event fresh upon us,
manhood showed itself in heroic deeds. Some of
these will only be restored in the Book OF the
Infinite, some of them known of men, and
the knowing OF itself must prove a source of
uplift. In the darkness of the night, with death
enveloping arms wide OPEN men on that i'll
fated craft did deeds such as will shine forth
in the types of the beauty of self sacrifice.

Archbishop Glennon
On Drinking

Archbishop Glennon, in a temperance sermon
at the New Cathedral chapel. declared there is
little difference between drinking amid the
veneer Of fashionable cafes and clubs and drink
ing amid the squalor of dives.
He denounced drinking as well as drunken
ness. The New Years promise to drink no
more. he said, too often is evanescent and
perennial
He declared the cause OF temperance often
Is hurt by intemperance in the methods of it's
advocates.
"Among New Years promises continued the
Archbishop, sis the promise to abstain for the
New Year for an indefinite period from in
toxicatng drinks.
Custom Shows Good Intention.
THE custom is commendahle in that II evil
dences the purpose of doing better. 1t cores
ponds with the aspirations of weak human
nature, which, with all it's faults ever struggles
and hopes for final victory over sin and death.
And yet ii is not the best that could be done;
for it has elements Of weakness associated with
it; being sometimes the reaction from holiday
festivities. and sometimes the outcome of tenn
porary enthusiasm, lacking in the calmness
and reasonableness wherein all great purposes
should be based.
I'VE know and teach today that drunken
ness Is sin, moray offensive to Almighty God
sinful in itself and douby and treby in its
consequences, since with it come the dethrone-
ment of reason and the setting in its place
OF the brutal instincts.
But ii Is not drunkenness alone which for
tunately is outlawed and reprobated, it is not
alone the evils of drunkenness we should COM
bat but should go further and oppose drink
