Motor cars made in Pittsburg for

7THIE BOY THAT WAS

When the hair about the temples starts
to show the signs of gray,
And a fellow realizes that he's wander
Ing far away
From the pleasures of his boyhood
and his youth and never more
Will know the Joy OF laughter as he
did in days of yore.
Oh, it's then he starts to thinking of
a stubby little lad
with a face as brown as berries and
a soul supremely glad.
When a gray haired dreamer wanders
down the lanes of memory
And forgets the living present for the
time OF used -to-be'',
He takes off his shoes and stockings.
and he throws his coat away
And he's free from all restrictions,
save the rules OF manly play.
He may be in tattered garments, but
bare-headed In the sun
He forgets his proud successes and the
riches he has won.
On. there's not a man that liveth but
would give his all to be
The stubby little fellow that In dream
land he can see,
And the splendors that surround him
and the joys about him spread
Only seem to rise to taunt him with
the boyhood that has fled
When the hair about the temples starts
to show Times silver stain,
Then the richest man that's living
yearns to be a boy again.

"THE ToWER IS OF iL;uM..

One gets a constant impression of
superlatiyes from the reading of
Ethelyn Leslie Illusions "The Towers
of Ilium.' The book does not say 50 in
SO many words, yet one understands
perfectly well that there was never an
other girl SO brave and lovely as June
Ferris. never another father so under
standing as James Ferris, never pas
sion SO strongly suppressed as by the
Puritan conscience OF DIR. John Orth.
Moreover. all the men in the story are
superbly strong. all the women who are
not wise at least arc witty, and the
days are unparalleled Which June
passes first as a butterfly in the gay
life of a Great Lakes island and then
RS a toiler among the artist grubs of
New York
But II Miss Illusions superlatives are
many, they also have their usefulness.
They impart very effective sprightli-
ness and glow to the background
against which the story works out, and
by SO much they add seeming strength
to the argument OF the book-an argu-
ment all for the fullest emancipation
of womanhool and for the most radical
departures from the conventions hith-
erto hedging the estate motherhood.
There Is nothing pallid abott such a
proposition in sex freedom. II cannot
be set forth with Junction from pa.llid
environment.
june loses early in the book a
mother who Is of the slightest account.
The father remains, and he, as has
been said, understands. Yet 1t is only
when fortune, al 1t is frivolously
known, deserts Jim Ferris and his
daughter, and when dancing and ca
noeing and flirting and the other light
joys of life have to give way to the
struggle for living that the real de-
velopment of june begns--that the
girl who has danced becomes the
woman who dares,

lis always a sin with or without mar
rage. Responsible motherhood is al
ways sacred with or without marriage
To this ACCOMPLISHMENTS she addresses
herself consistently, even though there
is the certainty In her last chapter OF
a coming ceremonial at the altar.
Nevertheless, we are left in state of
final and absolute doubt whether. given

her favorite sons and daughters. June
Ferris would ev have gone into the
burning OF toplcss towers. Is 1t quite
the last word of the advanced philoso-

j IESU@ GH|IRlST--
ILAIB0RlIN(G IMAM
BY J. D. GILLIAN.

New Years day and Christmas were
planned by the Christians to comment
crate the same occasion: viz, the an
niversary of the birth of Jesus. There
fore at this time of the year there
arise certain necessary thoughts.
The jew taught the whole world the
nobleness of labor, tho virtue Of per-
sonally applied energy and the glory
of individual achievement. The nobility
of all the pretentious outside of JeWry
consisted strictly of the Idle rich.
Servants waited upon their whims as
though they were helpless as infants;
they lifted their loads, transported
their burdens, even down to the NOV
ing of the pettiest thing; slaves car
ried them to and from their baths,
washed and dressed them for their
apartments of luxurious dissipation.
Slaves read to them who cared for
mental illumination oftentimes, espe-
cially to them who had been too in
doient and unambitious to learn for
themselves that joysome art. Servants
were the agents for the energetic pro-
lection of mental desires, for the gen.
tleman was far above and twice re-
moved from all personal toll. Thus
Athens, ROM and other centers Of
politeness, or suicidal sensualism.
The glory OF polytheistic Athens
faded because OF physical and spiritual
indifference and Incidence among the
self styled higher ups" of the day. The
majesty of imperial Rome was dissi-
pated and the physical mastery was
passed over to the hideons Huns and
the victorious vandal hordes who were
able to raze to the very foundations
the splendor of the seven-hilled city.
and the slaves (Slavs) of the north
held In remorseless grio the no longer
glorious heights whence had long
streamed and throbbed the tides of
human ambitions.
But the Jew WAS ever the model for
the race of man. No true son of Abra-
ham ever scorned the cult of his He
brew ancestor. Abraham was crude
fnever rude) man of the plains, a
.toiler who made himself a leader of
his people by his personal Industrial
efforts and achievements. and safely
transmitted them in perpetuity In
theory as well as In practice to his
non mortal posterity. Every jew was
taught a trade; labor was the magical
wand of the son of Jacob whereby in
dustry only was to be the yielder of
competence and whereby the toiler
earned and maintained a right to the
place of honor among his co-religion-
lists: his worth WAS recognized abroad
because of his ability as practical
man.
Jesus came to the world of the finest
Jewish blood. Rabbi Stephen Wise is
reported to have said: Jesus was the
flower Of Jewish prophecy"
He was subject to the most exacting
OF the severe traditions of his people,
and history records that he failed In
none of them. Jesus loved. honored
and exalted the life and the calling
OF the laborer. One may know that Is
the truth by careful notice of the

ACCORDION AND CINEMA

Maitre Edmond b.. pleading before
the correction chamber of appeals in
a case where the culprit was a boy six
teen years old. said: Before the
cinema my client passed all his even
ings at home. playing assiduously on
the accordion. Since then he has at
tended many cinematograph represen-
tations. He dreamed to realize the
crimes that there passed under his
eyes So to rob some wine merchants
he procured masks. revolvers, knives.
handkerchiefs to bind his victims. rub
Der gloves that he might not leave his
finger prints on the objects he touched.
This outfit OF the burglar became the
wade mecum of this boy who before the
cinema played most faithfully, each
evening, at home on the accordion"

to four years In prison.--Le Cri de

mount VERMONT

Writing his book. Mount Vernon;
Washingtons Home ind ths Nations
Shrine" Paul Wilstach calln attention
on one of his pages to the extraordi-
nary status of the old place during our
upheaval of the early 1905 thus:
During the civil war Mount Vernon
was by spontaneous consent of those
on both sides of the great contest the
only neutral ground In the country.
Soldiers were requested to leave their
arms outside the gates, which they did;
and men in blue and men In gray met
fraternally before the tomb. of the
father of their divided country"
This is only one of many interesting
points brought out by Mr.. Wilstach.
His book traces the story of Mount
Vernon from the time of the passing
of the earliest deed to the land. Tt
deals with much important history of
the country and with the more intimate
side of Washington's life. There are
many illustrations.

HOME 81 corATloN.

Hazel II. Adler has to tell us of a
new point Of view in the decoration of
the home, which may be characterized
as the artists as opposed to the up
holsterer's. An interior, instead of be-
ing merely an assemblage of individual
objects, must now express an idea, and
this idea must b. determined by the
personality of the owner.
All this Is enlarged upon and IL
Illustrated in Mrs. Adler's book, THE

Having decided what the load should
properly be. the legislator should shoulder
it squareIy. step forward unhesitatingly and
proceed with independence. He should not
permit himself to be blown about by the
winds Of precedence or prophecy, of ca
jolery threat, Of praise censure,
whether from private or official sources,
from politicians or newspapers from the
curb or from the rostrum.

Putting it another way, and copying a
truthful saying: BE sure you are right,
then go ahead.' And for the legislature
that is coming on the scene tomorrow, in GO
ing ahead it should give most Of its atten-
ton to development rather than to political
enactments. Industrial Idaho never stood
more in need of wise legislation, to encour-
age the investment and population it has
and to invite additions. There are some po-
litical and other matters requiring atten-
ton, but they should not be permitted to
have the bulk of it--and the hundred and
one non-essential proposals should be swept
aside as fast as presented
A Legislative development load would be
comparatively light, and it would materially
tighten the load upon people burdened be-
cause their state has not enough industries
and population to balance the demands
made upon them.

TO LlGMTIEM 1rRE LOAD

7P OMORROW another session of the
Idaho legislature will convene Be
hind it stands long list of legis
lative actions that may be urged IN
part as suitable precedent. Before it
stands Il young continent of things to
be done surrounded by an ocean Of
detailed advice and sagacious scheming 1T
the variety of demand, the host of innova-
ton, the plethora of policies confronting the
average legislature could be presented to the
aspirant for legislative honors he might lay
aside his ambition, If he is one who gives
serious thought to responsibility, and de-
cline to be the bearer of even a portion OF
such load.
There is way to lessen the weight, how
ever and vet without shifting or Sinking
indeed, a method that causes it to be shout
dered more courageously, with less finch
ing. more intelligently. It is first necessary
to sit down and calmly pick over the load to
determine what may safely be discarded.
The great trouble with most legislatures
has been that they undertook to do too much
in short time, with the result that much
they carried to the goal was useless stone
while not a little needed food and ralment
for the state was left behind.
ANY legislator who desires to discriminate
fairly and get the best results for the public
should
Think for himself.
Act fairly, firmly and with independence.

1T does not follow that counsel should be
disrcgarded, especially by those who are
not familiar with state affairs. Official
guidance will be offered by those who have
been at the helm and who will continue i'll
that position, and it will be entitled to the
most thoughtful consideration.
Moreover. cooperation is necessary to OBJ
tain the best results for the public welfare
and it should be forthcoming on other than
political grounds. No measure should be
accepted or rejected solely because OF it's po-
litical origin.
But all this does not mean that the leg
islatnrc should follow blindly. 1t is always
possible that any man, notwithstanding his
wisdom and experience, may not be lnfal-
liblc OF Judgment. 1t is not improbable for
such an one to become SO devoted to his
own conceptions as to experience an uncon-
sciolls limitation OF vision. 1t is SO III the
business world. 1t is not unexpected in
statecraft Some men who have been liber
ally successful have been influenced finally
To call III outsiders to ana we their needs,
shred their policies and III a word get them
ont Of a more or less restricting rut. There
fore. while realizing the value Of experience,
every proposal, official and unofficial
should be given close analysis by the only
branch Of state government that is directly
responsible for legislation Original thought
in viewing the legislative load will lessen
the weight. remove many elements of CON
fusion and facilitate negotiation Of the road
ahead.
