GET AT FL CAUSE

A number of worthy and intelligent Americans, headed
by several who have much at stake in the existing system of
government, are lea8ued together to combat the "unwhoe-
some political movement that menaces the nation" quoting
from a circular of the American Defense Society.
They catalog the elements which they believe make up
the party of destruction
But they say not one word as to the reason why great
masses OF Americans are discontinued, restless, questioning.
They propose measures opposing social unrest, but not
one remedy for the unrest itself.
What would we think of a city health department that
tackled typhoid epidemic merely by distributing medicines to
overcome the symptoms Of the disease?
What would we think of officials who sought to check a
plague without looking after conditions of municipal sani-
tation? e
Open sewers, crowded slums, under-fed children supply
the ground work for the spread of contagious diseases.
AS people, we are slow and cautious in our acceptance
OF new theories. We feel that this is our country, our gov
eminent, and we cling to our faith in the principles of our
fathers.
Good Americans, of all races and all classes, are waiting
as patiently as they can, for something to be done.

Pray Mr.. Abernethy, what Is a cure for gOut?' "a the question If an

John Abernethy, second son Of a Scochlrish family, born April q, 1884
a physician o. rar discernment, a surgeon of great SKILL a lecturer, and
teacher Of dramatic magnetism, never said a better thing in his life
It is particularly apt in th1sc country where the sin # overeaung Is far

Gluttony, always a fault is all the more glazing in a land where q plen-
tHul food supply permits it to be more general =
The salow, fat cheeks, he aching joints n rascble temper of the
rosperous overfed are far too common.
Abernethy said to n SUCH, the Duke of York, by the way, Cut off
the supplies as tn Duke of Wellington did In his campaigns, and the enemy
will leave the CITADEL"
Diet, however, is a really serious matter and many people suffer as
much from dietary eccentriciies foo fad Is from ctual disease:
The average individual IAN "a good, plain. wholesome food In modera-
tin all his life without ever being var that he las a digestive apparatus
Starvation to cure a fancied aiment or to reduce a expansive waist

about all the forms of sin that men
practice.
If o a that you have no sin,
you deceive yourself. The Bible says
that this Is a sign that the truth is
not in you"
The man who comes close to God.
allowing the white light of His Holt
ness to shine upon him. sees himself
a sinner.
1t was when the prophet Isaiah got
a vision OF the holiness of God that he
cried u Woe is me-! for L am I'M
done; because I am a man of unclean
lips, and | dwell in the midst of peo-
pie of unclean lips; for mine eyes have
seen the King the Lord Of hosts"
Folly We may know without know
ing God.
Vice we may know without knowing
God.
Crime we may know without know
ing God.
But Sin we cannot know fully with
out knowing God, for sin Is missing
the mark of Gods perfect love, and it
is only as we see ourselves with God
as a background that we realize the
s~infulness Of sin.
1t Is significant that the fundamen-
tai reason for sin Is c-ovetousness.
There were seven persons In the
Bible who ued the words: II have sin
ned"
In every case they were guilty OF
c~ovetousness. 1t is disregard for
others, selfishness, that is responsible
for most mems sins.
At the opposite extreme from sin is
love, and here's what we're told about
it in the Bible:
LOVE ENVIETH NOT"
There can be no c-ovetousness where
love prevails.
And the farther away yau get from
love the greater your SIM.

Such Is Life

A Chicago grand jury has submit
ted a plan for the reformation of
young criminals which depends on
the reiteration Of rtdicule.
1t Is recommended that phono-
graph be installed in the corridors OF
a county jail and other prisons, es-
pecially those where youthful Often
doris are held. An exhaustive supply
of records would be furnished each
phonograph these records reciting, in
a comic Vein, the details of such Of
lenses as LAND boys behind the bars.
The records would emphasize the
stupidity of the actions whereby men
forfeit their liberty.
The idea is by no means new. In
domestic use, it Is known as nagging.
Certainly, it would make jails even
less attractive than they now are,
but would it change the hearts Of
tough lads?
OF course what ''they say Is high
ly important to us all. We value pub
lie opinion. The man who doesn't is
insane.
SO much need not be the opinion of
the majority, because hat is a diff
cult thing to discover. 1t is the opin-
ion of those whom we look UP to-.
A boy crook looks up to men
, crooks. A Jail sentence is likely to be
an honor, and the metallic mouthing
of a photograph would have no influ-
ence with a boy who was convinced
that he was a hero.
For every story the p~honograph
told, some prisoner could tell one OF
| the romance and glory of a criminal
| career i.
These diseased dreams of tainted
minds are what draws boys into the
ways of crime
They ire not DANGEROUSLY echoed
through jail corridors as the phono-
graph e~xhortations would be. They
are whispered.
But they carry far. these tales, ant
they are terribly potent.

RIPPING RHYMES
sordid Times
BY WALT MASON

We re so busy profteering that we haven't time to read,
and the publishers are fearing that their trade Will go TO
seed. Everyone is talking prices, flown so high they break the
heart; and that sort Of stuff suffices to divert our thoughts
from Art. 1 would talk of books and writers when the eve
ming shadows fall, but the cost-ofliving b~lighters gather round
and whoop and bawl. 1 would speak Of good old Dante when
the evening lamp is lit, but the folks around my shanty cuss
the Cost and throw a fit. I would grind a soulful ballad from
my trusty g%rafOphone, but my people, sad and palld, roast
the profteers and groan. When I'd take my Tyre and play 1t,
~neighbors come and break the strings, and they cry, Come
off Delay It'll We would talk of solemn things And their
talk is all Of robbers, and of this and that disgrace; and such
hopeful souled Micawbers as myself are out of place. Oh,
their talk is all of thieving and of guys who should be pInched,
and they spend the cleaning grievng that no fellow has been
lynched. I am tired Of talking prices, I am tired of talking
cost; and a word Of that suffices to enWrap my soul IN frost.
