Billy Sundays Ten commandments.
Thou Shalt Not Gossip. There are

Billy Sundays Ten Commandments.
Thou Shalt Not Gossip. There are
three ways to spread the news
telephone, telegraph and tell
woman. The devil is so afraid of
some of you women he wouldn't
get within twenty feet of you.
2-Thou Shalt Not Covet- Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbor's
cook, nor his automobile, nor his
private yacht Many a man would
like to have his neighbor's wife
You let her alone.
3-Thou Shalt NOT Tango. I'm
against that rotten, hcentious,
-begctten dance that sends
more girls to hell than anything
else. I'm in favor of everything
that the devil is against, and I'm
against everything the devil is in
favor of.
4-Thou Shalt Not Be Stingy. Some
would-be Christians are so stingy
that they would steal flies from a
blind spider. There are others
so mean that they sing through
their noses to save wear and tear
on their false teeth.
5-Thou Shalt Not Have Too Many
Beaux. It's hard to fool a, real
sutton, and q, man doesn't want
to marry a, girl that's been paved
over by every young buck in the
comm unity. The friZz}e headed
girl that sits up in a dark parlor
until all hours of the morning
with one buck after another IS on
the way to perdition.
6-Thou Shalt Not Be COnceited. A
conceited man is like a cheap
skate restaurant where every
thing is in the window and moth
ing on a table but hot air. Self
on the table but hot air Self
conceit will always be a milestone
around your neck.
Shalt Not Drink. The man
who says he can drink and let
it alone, lies. No man ever in
tended to become a drunkard.
Every drunkard started out to be
simply a moderate drinker. If
YOU believe you can leave 1T alone,
why don't you?
S-Thou Shalt Not Ct1ss. One of the
things that show the foundation
of a mans character to be rotten
is to hear him cuss and vomit out
L
fame man any too far in any
transaction.
e-Thou Shalt Not Dodge Thy Debts.
Some haven't religion enough to
paw their debts. Would that I
might have a hook and for every
debt that you left unpaid I might
jerk off a piece of clothing! It
I did, some Of you would be left
with only a celluloid collar and
pair of socks.
0-Thou Shalt Not ITlirt. Society
takes no note of the Irritation on
the street. It waits until the girl
has lost her virtue and then slams
the door in her face. I wish [
could make a girl who f1irts see
herself as others see her. If you
make eyes at q man on the
street he will pay you back.

S8aRas ~ y spMp. TnUfe was a quiet move
ment on foot to have him ousted from
the cabinet. More than that, there
were kissing cries of disapproval for
everything he did. Finally, when
Senator Cham berlain came along with
his preposterous charge that the War
Department had completely fallen
down, that it had almost stopped
functioning," the watch dogs Of pub
lie, life saw their opportunity. They
growled. Three days later, on Mon
day last, the Secretary Of War came
back with what American merchants
and others are pleased to call the
goods" He placed them on display
in a hearing room in the Senate ONCE
Building. And then and there he dis
armed his critics, and the critics of
the Administration. For, every man
with an eye to see now knows and
fully understands that the War De-
partment has not fallen down." that
it has "stood up under the acid test;
that it has delivered the goods
There will therefore be a quick scurry
to cover, a climbing aboard the band
wagon, and a hiding of the muck
rakes until some future occasion when
the Roosevelts and the Chamberlains
and others of their ilk really think
they have found something wrong
with the body polite. The unfair
critics must now head for the dug-out.

NO ONE is PLAYING POLITICS.
There Is one thing which must

There Is one thing which must be
admired in good Republican. He
believes, and the belief is deep-rooted,
that no one save a Republican is fitted
to carry on the work Of government
in a republic such as this; that each
and every Republican is anointed at
the hour Of birth for the supreme
purpose of holding Office; that those
who do not run with the hares of
politics are missing the joys of living,
and though they are not active in the
realms of public life they could, If
called upon, take the highest offices
in the land. Once in a while, of
course, a Democratic adninistra ton
steps in to take the place of Re-
publican regime; but those are the
mishaps of life. They are the things
which must never happen again, if
the wearers of Repu blican togas can
help it.
At present we are afflicted with a
Democratic administration at Wash
ington. This is particularly unfortu-
nate since we have war on our
hands. For, was there ever Demo-
cratic President capable of conduct
ing such a war? And this one is the
rnightiest of all wars. It is much
greater than any the United States
has ever been in. Therefore, it Is de-
plorable that Charles Evans Hughes
tripped up and fell on the threshold
of the White House, Were he there
now, or were some one colored with
the same paint welding the power
there would be no cause for misgiving;
but with a Democrat there is no tell
ing what will happen. Happily, the
war win end some day. And when it
does, the Republicans viii have a
chance to correct all the mistakes
made by this administration. We
quote here from the speech of Sen
ator Harding Of Ohio who last night
addressed the Connecticut Mckinley
Association at Waterbury. The SEN
ator, who was there hailed as the
next President of the United States,
said: Justice and righteousness must
ciples and when the war is over there
will be a cali for wise and capable
republican leadership in tn recon-
struction Of the nation" AS if Re-
publican leadership could be anything
but wise and capable. That, how
| ever, is not the point. The thing to
remember is that after the war there
will be a call for this leadership.
In order that no one will forget to
make the call for Republican leader
ship the leading lights of the party
are now getting ready for the battle
of 1920 and reminding their bench
men that there must come a reckon
ing after this war. Of course. no one
is playing politics. That is a mis-
taken idea. And, if any one is play
ing politics it must be a Democrat.
Stone of Missouri and Cham berlain of
oIo9oh dlo ''io Two reading examples
of this in the Senate. And both are
Democrats The proof is positive.
So any Republican orator can pick out
these two names, show on which side
of the fence the game is being played,
warn his fellow party members that
we must all be Americans now, and
then finish with warning, by in

ster culture is Unique in that it does
not lessen the production of any,
thing else; more hogs mean less
corn, but more oysterm means more
gourmands. Besides, it is a pleas
ure to eat oysters. Next, the fact
that they are comparatively expen-
sive, in view of the small quantity
of nourishment they contain, should
worry no one. The only question.
to be asked is: Does CONSUMPTION,
of oysters. truffes, terrapin, caviaro
in any degree release other foods
for consumption? The rich man
has a duty in the premises. He must
become a Lucullus now, in order
that the poor man may have enough
of ordinary foods.

"FIat More Oysters"
(New York Evening Post.)

The United States bureau of fisher
les in the role of the WalruS and
the Carpenter, issues a bulletin In
wiling Americans to eat more oysters.
It is so novel to be invited to eat
more of anything at all these days
that this document arrests attention.
The argument runs that 1t is duty
to consume oysters because such
consumption will stimulate culture
