which breathed in the words of the kaiser
IN 1900 is Just as alive in his heart today
and in the hearts of his men.

No man. not even the emperor Of the

Sin Per Sc
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

Susannah Wesley, mother Of John,
was, from all accounts. remarkable
woman. She had dozen or so children.
and sense to match.
One day, for instance. n neighbor.
amazed at the quiet patience of Mrs.
Wesley. asked. Why do you tell that
child the same thing over twenty
times?"
Because" answered she, nineteen is
not enough "
But it is another saving Of the great
SuSannah upon which we now design to
anmadvert. To wit, namely. n sentence
from one of her letters 10 her son John.
Like a great many other young people,
John wanted to know exactly what Sin
is. His mother told him, and in these
words
Would you Judge Of the lawsulness or
unlawfulness Of pleasure, take this rule:
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs
the tenderness Of your conscience, OBJ
scures your sense Of God, takes of your
relish for spiritual whatever in
creases the authority Of the body over
the mind that thing is sin to you, how
ever innocent it may seem in itself"
! do not know that | have seen any
where, in or out Of the books on theol-
ogy and ethics, a better and more I'M
derstandable definition Of sin.
Everybody wants to know what Is
right and what is wrong. the lax as well
jas the yirtuous and much of the wrong
doing of the world arises from confusion
.of mind. Sin lies not all in the warped
will.
And II everybody would lay Susan
nah's words to heart, and, 10 use
phrase from the Book Of Common Pray
er, read, mark. learn and inwardly di-
gest' the same, 'twould save us from
many a moral middle.
And If you can't master il all, or pos
sibly don't approve of it all, just take a
part of it, those words. whatever in
creases the authority of the body over
the mind, that thing to you is sin
! think u was Amiel-or was il Jou-
bert who said that all culture consist
ed in transferring our pleasures from
the body over 90 the mind. so that the
arts and sciences are the landmarks Of
religion
But the chief excellence Of this excel
lent woman's dictum is her emphasis
upon the fact that sin is personal. Ii
lies not in the infraction Of any code or
rules but in our inward cowardice and
moral fiabbiness. In our disloyalty TO our
own conviction. IN our refusal. for what
ever reason 10 follow our sense OF
Ought.
If man simply does what seems right
TO him he will win past all the creeds in
Chlistendom
There is no sin Per Sc; only Per Me.

Introducing Bob" Speer
and Asking That You Join
In Giving Him Three Cheers

We take pleasure In introducing Mr..
"Bob" Speer. mayor of Denver who is
doing a little job of fuel dictation after
a fashion of his own.
The Rockefeller and kindred corpora
lions had been having a nice time rum
ming the mining and selling Of coal III
Denver and had got the price up to $3.50
a ton, which was sheer robbery, con-ld-
ering the price at the mines, when Speef
declared that he'd break that cinch
He contracted for the output Of three
mines near the city and Denver consul
mers are getting 600 tons Of coal per Gay
at $3.50.
And particular pains is taken to see
to it that it goes to the homes Of the
workers.
If the Denverite wants couple Of
tons of this coal he applies, giving his
home address, where he works. how
many are in his family, AND WHAT lie
EARNS A MONTH.
The first families that get city coal
are those whose monthly income is from
$50 to SIS.
Then the S10O-a-month families are
supplied
If the supply exceeds the demand for
these, then families whose income Is from
500 to $3.50 a month will be supplied,
and when this list is taken care Of any
family can get municipal coal.
This has broken the back Of the coal
monopoly in Denver.
1t is likely to break It an thru the
state when other cities discover how easy
It Is to cut the price of coal in half.
The families who really need the coal
will get it.
Those who can afford TO pay the trust
price Will be taken care of later, AFTER
the wage earners have abundance.
The funny thing about this mayor
whom we've just introduced, is that he
had been strong corporation man, anti
labor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
all that
But when he became mayor, he learn
ed what was being done to the people.
When he went in for municipal fuel,
the monopolists who thought that they
owned his soul set up great howl.
A cut from $3.50 to $3.50 will make
a monopolist howl every time.
And Speer answered them this way
Gentlemen, have been charged with
a lot of things, but | will not help put
an extra ounce on the backs of the work
ers, who already are carrying all they
can stagger under.
"You can do what you please; the poor
families of Denver are going to have
coal at cost this winter if it costs me
my job"
All together, please.
Three cheers for Mayor Bob Speer's
backbone.

JUNE RIVALED
 BY DECEMBER
 BRIDAL MONTH

IT the last two weeks is to be taken a. any indication of the trend of the season. it is a foregone conclusion shat December will rival June as a ,a2nth of brides. Within a very brief sSriod two interesting weddings have &ecurred and it is logical 10 expect 7Iat there will be many more war marriages before the men are called for foreign service. Engagements ar rumored. engagements continue to enhven every occasion and when the wedding follows within a week or two of the formal announcement there is thrill of unusual interest.
 No matter how frequent news of this sort it is always of paramount interest and importance and when both young people are well known and popular the announcement is par ticularly pleasing. The latest engage ment is that of Miss Ella Luhrs daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Luhrs. to Captain Arthur C. Taylor the announcement having been made at a prettily appointed tea given yes tcrday by the mother of the bride elect. Captain Taylor will arrive from Camp Kearney next Sunday and it is understood that the wedding will be an event of Christmas week.
 Miss Luhrs has lived practically al her life in this city and is a remark

ably sweet and attractive girl, and clever as well. Secretary of the East ern Star. she is a past matrOn of the order, the youngest woman to have ever held that position. The mem- bers of the Star were present at the announcement tea and were joined later by the intimate girl friends of the guest of honor.
 Lieutenant Taylor is one of the best liked young men in the city. Vice president of the Arizona State Press he has retained his interest in the company during the war period and his membership in social and mems clubs is being retained by the young army officer. He was made secretary of the Rotacy club when it organized and held the office until his depar- ture for Naco for border duty. He is exceedingly popular in the army set as well as by Phoenicians with whom ! he has long been a favorite. Arriv- | ing from California with Captain | Taylor on Sunday will be George
 Luhrs, who is coming home from 1 Stanford university for his sister :
 wedding. Other out of town guests will be Dr. and Mrs. Reginald Stroud | (Emma Luhrs) of GleesOn.
 Bridal affairs furnish the chief | topic of conversation and always
 there is the speculation as to when the interesting war bride will return ] to her home to await her husbands return from across the sea.
