How Crooked Are You2

We read the command to love our
enemies, to forgive those who wrong
us, to refrain from resisting evil, and
to 90 the second mile with him who
compels US to go with him the first mile.s
1t seems hard saying. The Sermon
on the Mount and making a living do
not seem to match. The problem was
expressed recently by a young lawyer
who wanted to be a Christian in his
profession, but found the tide of busiIi
ness affairs in his community running
strongly against the gospel of the Gold
en- Rule. He asked, elbow crooked
can man be and still be straight?'4
At first sight the world seems to be-.
organized on fighting rather than on
a higher law, a spiritual law, more po-
tent than the law of physical force and
human enmity, a law depending upon
the spiritual weapons of forgiveness
and good will even towards our ene-
mics. 1t was the most daring and
revolutionary experiment of the Chris
tian scheme. Moreover, it worked; and
it is the only law that really succeeds
in the end. John G. Patton tried it i'm
the South seas, when he went single
handed and unarmed among the wild
tribes, catching their spears in his un-..
protected hands. He lived to see the
chief of the wild tribes in Christ's
school. Every time Christian has re,
turned good for evil. refraining from
taking all his "rights,'' he has gone
"the second mile' with his enemy, and
this highest law of spiritual conquest
has been vindicated.-The Christian.

eerous Practice.
One of the most dangerous little
tricks that nen and women do Is to
take a bit of puper. torn from an en-
velope or newspaper. and try to run 1t
between the teeth to remove some little
particle Of food that the tongue feels.
II you want TO be sure of trouble with
your gums continue this practice. and
sooner or later-rather sooner than
later-you will secure splendid case
Of infection of the gums that will send
you to the dentist In hurry. and may
cause more than one sleepless night.
The bit of paper used In this way.
introduced edgewise between the teeth.
Is worse than any toothpick. or other
instrument for many reasons. In the
first place the sharp edge of the paper
b most apt to make cut in the gum.
and in so doing 1t is almost sure to
carry into the circulation at least some
Of the many germs clhging to 1t.
Again. the chemicals used In the max.

addition to these the newspaper may
have picked up variety Of germs

from the dust that has blown upon It

are just as honorable men in the liquor
business rs among those "who trade
their purity in politics. The fact that
William Penn and Patrick Henry reeog-
nized the liquor business was brought
out and then he mentioned what he
termed can unholy alliance between
scheming politicians and misguided men
of the cloth" for enactment of the bill.
The Allegheny man said the saloon is
the poor man 5 club and would flourish
until society provided something better
in spite of "every fanatic and crank. =
Later ON Mr.. Stein said he would
"rather go down to defeat than become
Governor of the Commonwealth through
ingratitude and deceit
Mr.. Stein declared that if the Legis-
lature saw fit to abolish the business of
the distiller, the brewer and the liquor
merchant from whose traffic it derives
revenue the Commonwealth should com
pensate them for investments. Mr.. Stein
then replied to Mr.. Lanius' remark
about the heroin bill by saying that of
100 men who use drugs 100 go to ruin
but OF 100 who use liquor only three
or four are wrecked.
This caused mingled Kisses and
cheers and Mr.. Stein remarked that peo-
pie could get drunk on anger, zeal or
excitement. The latter remark he hurl-
ed at the crowd in the rear.
W. H. Wilson Defends Measure
W. II. Wilson, of Philadelphia, who
spoke on the bill, attacked the argu-
ments given by. the snti-optionists.
The right to sell liquor is not a
vested right but privilege, personal
privilege only granted for year at
the outside, he said. He disputed the
assertion that the Brooks high license
law is the best local option bin in ex.
istenee because il places the power in
the hands of the judges and not the
people.
He said that Governor Brumbaugh
informed the State Republican com
mittee that he stood on a local option
| platform and that committee endorsed
| him for Governor. He said the Gov.
ernor poAed 5S4.S9T votes on a local
option platform.
''The people of the State did decide
| this question at the November elec-
tion and the combined vote for both
candidates for Governor totaled 9S7.-

"What We need is men who have the
! courage of their convictions to submit
this question 10 their constituents.

TAKE STEPS TO REVISE THE
ASSESSMENTS OF VOTERS
County Commissionsrs Question Tax
Coalsctoes About Large Numbers
Of Rsqussts for Exonerations-
Planned to Weed Out Dead Ones

/. The first step toward the revision of
the system of assessing Harrisburg
voters was taken by County Commits
sioners Samuel 5. Miller and Isaac 8.
Hoffman yesterday afternoon when
they called in Ave city collectors of
county tax and had them explain the
.exeases given by the collectors for
not obtaining poll tax from several
thousand men assessed as electors
Collectors who appeared before the
Commissioners ineluded,1 John H. Tay,
lor. First ward; Harry A. Hopes. Fifth
ward; Charles t. Jones, Sixth ward;
Isaiah Reese, Seventh ward, and Viii,
liam Smith, Eleventh ward. The Sew
enth ward il was, the Commissioners
said, in which 1,400 of the 1,T0o re-
quests for generations from poll tax
collections represent assessed vet un-
registered voteis who either are dead,
moved out of the district, are not
known or are unable TO pay
OF the remaining SEQ, the Commits
sioncrs say, the residences of few
have been aseertained. In these eases
the Commissioners wanted the tax col
leetors TO explain the failure TO make
collections. Where it was shown that
assessments actually had been dupli-
Gated the exoneration requests were
allowed but in those in which the vo-
ters' residences have been aseertained
by the county heads, the collectors
agreed to go out, ami make another eff
fort 10 get the tax.
The conference with the collectors
the Commissioners declared, was en-
tirely harmonious. Information ob,
tanned from the collectors, they said
will aid materially when the Commits
sioners examine the 1918 assessmen,
books for the purpose of striking out
the dead ones before the tax duph
Gates are complied this year.
The Commissioners said again that
they propose TO call in assessors for the
purpose of sSeertsining why the county
books contain the names of so many
men who are not registered voters and
cannot be found.

MURDERED BY RER SUITOR
Mildred Rich Is Killed At Pittsburgh
BY Young Man Who Takes Own
Life After Deed

Pittsburgh, April PA lovers
quarrel, supposedly provoked by jeal-
ousy over another suitor, ended last
evening when Ernest H. Bingler, Jr.,
30 years old, a civil engineer. shot and
killed Miss Mildred Rich and then
ended his own life in Miss Rich s room
in rooming house at 2Os Shady ave-
nue..
Well dressed and having evidence
of refinement, the young woman, about
25 years old, went 10 1.-The Bunga-
low conducted az the Shady avenue
address by Mrs. Payson Chappell, last
Friday. Beyond the girls statement
that she was TO be married in the
spring to a bankers son, nothing was
known of her.
Yesterday evening, without the
knowledge of Mrs. Chappell or others
in the house, Bingler entered and went
to Miss Rich s room. How long ne was
there before the double shooting and
what led to the finale are matters of
conjecture.
Young Bingler had met Miss Rich
about seven months ago at the Car
negie Institute of Technology, and had
become infatuated with her His af-
feetion apparently being returned, the
young man met her On many occasions
and once had taken her to his home
10 meet mis- parents.
The young woman's body has not
been claimed, and morgue attaches
thus far have failed 10 find any rela-
tives. Bingler's parents claimed his
body and it was removed last night.
The murdered woman was the
daughter of Mrs. VI. E. Rich, who aft
er the death of her husband, four years
ago at York, came to this city to live
with her sister, Mrs. J. W. Keel, 2214
North Sixth street. Mrs. Rich is at

According to Minetta B. (Hergle-

for an absolute divorce, her husband.
Christian W. Butler, is quarrelsome,
brutal, negleetful, man who forced her
to srrosist, at times, on a seant amount
of food.
Mrs. Butler is seeking legal separa.

and she is doing so, she said, under the
husband threat to take her life. He
is in Washington, d. c., now. she said,
living with his mother. The case was
called up on the special hearing cal
ender this morning, having been con-
tinued from the regular term on Mon

Life with Butler. the wife said, mar.
rowed down from domestic felicity at

eral years prior to the separation in
December, 1910. The breaking up of
the home in Washington, D. C.-Mrs.
Butler said there were practically no
furnishings in the house and it could
hardly be called a home-followed a
bitter quarrel.
Then, Mrs. Butler declared, she was
badly beaten and bitten several times
on the neck. Her hair was pulled out
she said, and she prevented him from
carrying out a threat to take her life
only when she struck him in the face
with a piece of wood.
Many times since the separation
Mrs. Butler said. she has been hound

manned with friends in Washington
and after she returned TO Middletowr
