is something we think everybody else
needs. We are our brothers keeper in

to do something he doesn't want to-

he ought to do is moral Anything
he does that we think he ought not
to do is immoral. Certainly, not all
of us practice what we preach.
Most of us Christians would agree
that business ought to be moral and
that all of us in our business rela-i
lions ought to make the golden rule
our rule of conduct. But it is quite
generally admitted, by common prac-
tice, that if business were moral it
wouldn't be business. Business men
feel that if they practiced the GOLDEN
rule they would lose money.
Usury isn't moral, but it's COM.
mon. Selling cold storage eggs for
fresh ones isn't moral, but it's BUSH
ness. DOdging taxes isn't moral, but
it saves money for the dodger. 1t is .
both immoral and illegal, but good
church members do it just the same.
Getting rich by paying men and
women less than a decent living
wage is immoral, but is considered
by some to be good business. Any

world anything that's legal is moral

CLEANING OUR MoRALS.-Rev.
John P. Brushingham, secretary of
Chicago's morals commission; says:
cit is just as important to clean up
the morals of the city as to clean the
streets" Standing by itself that
statement might be accepted quite
generally as true. Each Of us will
look at it from his own. viewpoint,
and each determine when the job is
finished to suit his own particular
notions. But from a community
point of view when will the city's
morals be cfean? Who will deter
mine for all of us when the job is
done? What morals and whose NOR
ais will be cleaned?- And by whom?
What is moral? What is immoral?
The Drys, no doubt, would say the
city's morals were clean if were put
all the saloons out of business. The
Vets would be satisfied with the
city's morals if the Drys found some
thing else to do and left to each of us
the regulation of his own thirst. The
city's morals would look almost
white to some if everybody would
quit smoking cigarets. To<others, if
the social evil were put entirely out
of sight. And to stil others if all
forms of gambling were wiped out.
The rule is for each ofJus to be
fairly well satisfied with his own

proves him TO be the kind of rep
resentative the people need. He has
always been active in behalf of bet
ter pensions for soldiers who serv-
ed this glorious country and it is
said ne has helped 5000 soldiers
in his district TO better pensions and
is now helping more than that many
soldiers widows TO better pensions
by having heartily helped with both
the Sherwood and Ashbrook PEN
sion legislation.
he has been active and influential
in having the department of agricul-
ture help 10 check the insects that

ETOHluB huuSlTleSt ne has always

bills this year because the country
is asking so much money for pre-
paredneSs; and he answers all cor

matters that come TO him as prompt

Barnhart never asks unreasonable
things OF them. He is the kind OF

lands, for Babylonia is an alluvial

AS substitute for a seal the indi-
v1dual would make his thumb-nail
mark upon the soft clay or impress

In all periods scribes are very nu-
merous. This is inferred from the
fact that in some periods almost every
document is found to have been writ
ten by different scribe. In the AS
syrian period women are known to
have belonged to this profession. The
scribes wrote the legal documents, as
well as the private letters of individ-
uals. They even placed the seal i'm
preston upon the legal documents, in
proximity to which they wrote the
name Of the person to whom it be-
longed, usually the obligor or the wit
ness
In the time of Hammurabi (about
1000 B. CO. there was at hand an off,
Ger called the burgul, who was pre-
pared to cut temporary seals upon a
soft material for those who did not
possess them. This is the custom in
oriental lands in the present day.
In Constantinople, for instance, the
curbs of certain streets are lined with
scribes prepared to write for the il
literate. An occasional man among
them is provided with little blank
stamps in soft brass, and with an en-
craving tool is prepared to cut the sig
nature or initials of the man upon one
of them while he waits The impress
sion of the stamp is affixed to his let
