Money
The editor was once a boy.

The editor boy.
His father preacher, but was also farmer. And
the farmer and had many pleasant visits when hOeing
together in the cornied.
Sometime, my boy, you will begin to earn money
and have money Of your You want to make up
your mind before hand how you going to handle it.
In the first place. remember that the money you is
not to be used selhshly. You couldn't earn it if God had
not given you strength and chance OF all the money
you ever earn, give part to God Have some money
that you will have planned before it is earned to
for the poor for the church, to help good thing
that you shall contribute your share to the progress
OF the Kingdom
And in tho place. whenever yon get any
money save part of it. II will seem big thing when
you dollar, perhaps two dollars day, but you
must remember that you cannot work every day. And
more than that when you get money laid up, you
have the OF it in ways that will help you still
more. The very rsthing you need to do is to plan to
get ahead"
This seemed good advice then and it seems good
advice now We thought of it when heard of "a
young the OF poor parents who had been help
ed to get little education and dropped into place

had never hoed corn with him. and given him kind les
For instead of spending some of his money to
help his people and pay his debts and instead of lay
ing up some money that he might get ahead, he is
just spending that money fast as he earns it.

There should be daily prayer for the Legislature
now assembled at Frankfort. They meet only once in
two years for sixty days Many Of them nexperienc
ed and there thousand ways in which members of
the Legislature may be deceived or corrupted that
they will pass which will be for the public
good but for the advantage Of a few selfish people.
Very properly they beginning with investiga-
tons. Some of these may be make-beieve but at any
rate the first thing is to find out the truth regarding the
public interests and the public business.
We do not want denunciations or accusations, but
plain, clear, businesske statement of the real facts
And to get at the facts requires patience and study.
And another thing is that the Legislators must do
their best to take up the most important matters. They
can't attend to every little thing that needs fixing Let
them give fair dsricting OF the sate let them give
fair system of taxation; let them fix it that public
officials shall attend the public business carefully
they would attend to the business of railroad company
bank and without getting bigger salaries money
on the side" let them amend our laws where they
for another, unjust oppressive; let them
Danish the liquor traffic which is enemy to everything
good in the state let them to it that every child has
a chance for education. If the Legislature do
these things, it afford to omit great many less
important needs Let pray for the State Legislature.

The Teacher and the Temperance Question
ALCOHOL AND MORALITY
Prof. John r. Smith

You must not suppose that every
one who drinks alcohol is a bad
man. nor must you suppose that
those who drink will always become
bad. II would be unjust 10 say that
the use of alcohol always ruins the
morals of the drinker. II is just.
however, and il is important to say
that the moral nature of the man
or the woman who continually uses
alcohol is never so good as il would
be il no alcohol were used. II is
right from the scientific standpoint
to say that the use of alcohol tends
to weaken ones moral nature, tends
to make the drinker revert from his
present state of development TO
wards savagery. II may not drive
him very far in that direction. o:
again il may drive him 10 the point
where he will lose all his love for
wife and children lose his own
self respect, lose his sense of cour-
tesy and obligation to his fellow
beings, lose practically all the moral
sense that differentiates him from
a hog or some other immoral ami
mai.
Now the man who constantly
drinks would probably be the last
TO believe that a drinker is affected
in this way. He cannot understand
why anybody should say that he
is degenerating. He does not be-
lieve il because the poison has had
such an effect on his delicate moral
nature as TO render him incapable
of realizing his true condition. Just
here lies the great danger. Judg-

ment, the power 10 scent the right,
the ability TO make nice decision
regarding a moral question is all
impaired. II is like having an arm
removed while under the influence
Of a powerful anesthetic; the keen
edge Of the surgeons knife that
separates muscle and tendon and
artery is never felt. II is like be-
ing asleep in a boat while drifting
towards the brink Of Niagara. You
can not make the patient believe
he is losing an arm, nor can you
make the sleeper believe he is drift
ing TO certain death because his
sense of hearing and his ability to
comprehend are either asleep or
dead. Wake up the sleeper in either
case and he will see his condition.
But herein lies the tragedy; the
sleeper cannot be walked from the
anesthetic till the effects of the drug
have passed away. And il is often
just as hard TO convince the drinker
that he is being wrecked morally as
well as physically. He is drifting
without realizing il; he is degenerat-
ing morally but heaven and earth
could hardly convince him Of il be
cause the delicate organism of his
highly developed nervous system
are so wrought upon by the deadly
anesthesia of alcohol that the brain
cells. the marvellous vehicle of his
mind, are thrown out Of gear and
he cannot comprehend. After all
nature is merciful even when she is
cruel. While this active agent

THREE STEPS IN ADVANCE.
WHY Not Take Themf

Kentucky lags behind mighboring
states in allowing children under 10
TO work 10 hours a day. according
TO q statement issued by the Nation
al Child Labor Committee. A new
child labor bill drafted by the Ken
lucky Child Labor Association will
be introduced in the present legis-
laturc.
An important feature Of the bill
Is the provision limiting the hours
Of work for all under 10 to \ a day.
Owen n. Loveioy. general secretary
Of the National Child Labor Com
mittec, asserts that states which
have already adopted the 3 hour a
day limit, have found IL not only
bcneiie ial 10 the children employed,
but positively advantageous Ia the
industries involved.
Another provision is the estab-
lishmeni Of a u year age limit for
night messengers. whose inevitable
experience is frequent summon
ing 10 disorderly houses.
Coal mining is rated as danger
Gus occupation. especially for chill
dren, yet Kentucky fixes the same
age limit Of fourteen for this work
as for ordinary kinds Of employment.
The long list of coal mine fatalities
every year is sufficient argument for
a IS year age limit in mines.

Another CONSPIRACY.

From the remarks Of President l.. II.
LEMorNE in the annual report Of the
United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foun-
dry Company we extract the following
The country seems TO be involved in
cycle of unrest. distrust and suspicion /:
an utter lack OF confidence exists. This
condition ls not a mental Illusion. II Is
caused by hard facts. which suggest a
new bondage rather than new freedom"
From such n reasonable major prem
Use IL naturally follows that Mr.. LIE
MONIES minor premise Is this:
"Curtallment resulting from economic
changes and apprehension as to further
pending legislation has had a very direct
effect upon the general business situation :
and. as applied to your industry, resulting
in the severe competition Of other maxi
ers some OF whom. 1t would seem. have
been selling their product far below cost.
That such economic waste should be
forced by our beneficent Government is
indeed hard to understand: especially
when We consider how enlightened ma
tons abroad foster industry by permitting
reasonable cooperation OF compe titors."
From this Mr.. LEMorNE proceeds TO
the organization of n conspiracy among
his stockholders:
You. of course, have the interests Of
your company at heart and must there-
fore have noted the proposed legislation
affecting business. which the directors OF
your company believe will further ham
per them IN their endeavor to make fair
profit upon your investment. II YOU also
agree that such legislation is unwise and
will further tend to upset business condl-
tlons. will YOU not make known your
opinions to the Senators and Representa-
tlves from your States"
\ sample or form letter TO be signed
and submitted to Senators and Repre-
scntatives is not included with the COM
pany's report. Presumably therefore
Mr.. LEMoINE's poisonous deliyerances
have not commended themselves to the
attention OF the Administration, but so
frank II plot TO assert business needs
against the programmes of politics de-
serves the exposure which we now
fearlessly give II.

THE WEBB-KENYON Law.
why II Disappoints Prohibitionists and
suits the Liquor Interests.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: When
tho Webb Kenyon liquor bill was passed
over President Tafts veto In the final ses-
sion of the last Congress there We're
many enthusiastic temperance people
throughout the country who thought that
n great victory had been accomplished.
and that the way had been opened for
stopping the nullifcatlon OF State prohi-
bitlon laws by shipments Of liquor from
other States Attention was called to the
fact that this bill from its defective form
and lack OF penalty did not effectively
prohibit the shipment OF liquor into dry
or partially dry States. but merely
gave those States the permission to pro-
hibit the shipment OF liquor into their
territory. throwing the responsibility back
where 1t had been before, upol the ind-
vldual States The Anti-Saloon League.
however. would not listen TO those who
saw this laws utter futlity In dealing
with this question. The league insisted
on its passage; the liquor people made
little or no effort TO prevent Its becoming
a law because they saw its harmlessness.
Recent events In so-called dry" places
show that the llauorites We're wiser In
their generation than the prohibitionists.
Before long this viewpoint was confirmed
by an opinion issued by the Attorney
General OF the United States stating that
the Webb Kenyon law was not cnforcible
in United States co; rts. and did not d.
rectly prohibit interstate commerce in
liquors destined for Illegal purposes in
other States. merely giving the individual
States the right. which they did not enjoy
before, Of regulating that portion OF inter
state commerce.
The anti-llquor people have been wait
ing with considerable interest any further
developments In the attempt TO make this
law effective Recently the supreme
Court of Delaware gave the Webb-Ken-
