For i'm the Bills Author

Kindly imagine yourself in the house OF
representatives in Lansing.
Kindly imagine that body in session.
Kindly imagine that bills are being in
troduced, varying in nature from bounty
on red ants to a demand upon the En-
tcnte powers in Europe that they accept
the peace terms Of Germany.
A legislator rises
He wears long. gray whiskers.
He introduces bill.
His bill would abolish the legislature
and the jobs of Legislators and all jobs
pertaining to the legislature and all the
power of creating and giving jobs now
vested in the legislature.
In place of these legislators he would
have a commission of Is members, one
from each congressional district, and
would have the governor appoint COM
mittee to amend the constitution to so
provide.
The colleagues of the author of this
bin, naturally, feet fiatteTed, fnasmuch as
the bill contemplates nothing else than
the severing of them from the office they
hold through abolishing said office.
We note their pleased expressions.
We can see the rules being amended
and the bill rushed to final reading, passed
unanimously and given immediate effect,
we do not think.

Thoughts On Love
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. b, Frank Crane)

There are some who think the absence
of love to be a virtue, and who speak oil
the crimes of love But there can be
no virtue that is not loves forthputung'
there is no vice that is not loves denial.
Love is hot, and heat is life, il creates
heaven. Hate is cold it creates he'll
Dante said hell is cold.
Only one love is true and great, We
are gods but once,
Only the impottnt sheer al love.
Love is an art not a science We can
be taught science, VIC learn an art by
trying.
In the realm of the highest life values
we do not buy and sell; we give and re-
ceive Love cannot be deserved.
There is no taste for death in the
mouth like dead love.
When love dies we die; from then on
until We are buried we only exist.
True love needs no management; It
manages US.
Love excuses everything among men.
Passion excuses everything - among
bruteS.
The highest love is a thing Of destiny
and has It's cauSe- somewhere in the stars.
Love is the eye of the soul. GOODNESS
is blind
Though love is essential to life there is
a hidden instinct in the heart of every
man and woman to destroy it,
Sin is not purged by prayer, fasting,
and self-mutilation, but by love.
The only dangerous heretics are those
who doubt love.
Only the wise can know only the skill
ed can do; but the least and lowest can
love as an archangel.
In love lies our common divinity.
One who loves me is my best priest.
AS soon as a woman thinks herself
less loved she makes herself less lovable
II is singular that a woman is so char
liable toward the man who would ruin
her and so exacting toward the man who
worShips her
The mind ever seeks perfect truth, the
heart perfect love- and both quests lead
beyond the grave.
God made the world for lovers; all
others are intruders.
No man finds himself until he loves a
woman.
There is no justice without love, no
understanding without love, no growth
without love.
II is impossible to have permanent hu-
man relations without love. Every law
founded on self-interest is a curse. The
ruin of Capital is its lack of love. The
I Labor movement will never succeed with
out love. National affairs must always
result in destruction until they begin to
recognize love, the love of races instead
Of their rivalries.
The cure of the criminal is love.
Love is the form which evolution takes
with the appearance Of mankind on
earth
"The immortal Being manifests him.
self in joy-form,' say the sacred book.
of the East. (Anandarupamamritam yad
vibhat) Love is the supreme joy-form.
The soul Of man is journeying from
chaos TO law and the road is love.

Let us take look at the legislator who
introduces this bill.
Let us size up this member of the Mich

thus courageous, boarding the lion in his
very seat.
Whom have we here, anyhow?

Bill"
Verify, with no beer and whisky inter
est to represent, the Hon. Bill shows that
maybe, after all, his real sympathieS are
with the people and were with the people
Ill the time.
OF course, sitting where we imagine
ourselves sitting, we are at some disad-
vantage. and cannot see whether the Hon
Bill has his fingers crossed
Out with il, Bill; what's the lay!
The Detroit times., 1917-01-18
However. let rs look at this bill.

However, let Us look at this bill.
You will grant, we quite believe, that IL
represents some progress along the line Of
some pretty deep thought that is being
given to reform in government.
You will grant, we quite believe, that
Il represents big step that might be
taken in the direction of efficiency in gov
eminent.
You are ready to agree with us, we feel
positive, that our government from top to
bottom, consists of too many Offices and
too many officers and is cumbersome and
Is, therefore, not as effective as it might
be.
The direct course 10 given object in
war is described by the course of the can
mons shell, which is deadliest because it
represents the massed effort and the
massed lead of volley from regiment,
the most of which volley, however, would
60 astray and amount to wasted effort
and wasted lead.
The shortest cut between two given
points is by straight line.
The greatest amount of force is in con-
centrated force.
That accounts for the fact that the
commission form of government for cities
has been adopted by something like 800
cities in the United States, since this re-
form was first introduced in 1901.
If the commission form of government
Is a good thing for city, why isn't it a
good thing for state?
If il has brought about remarkable re-
suits and remarkable degree Of eff
cheney in the cities that have tried it, why
wouldn't it bring about the same results
for state?

The suggestions for resolutions

That we won't step off backward

That we won't attempt to cross the
street in front OF a moving car.
That we will have our exact fare

That we men will discard our half

That we women will shorten our

jabbing our fellow-passengers in the
eyes.
That we will not insist upon mo.
nopolizing two seats while others are
compelled to stand
That we win move forward in the
