Hazard Of War and Peace.

During the nineteen months
America was at war, while the
Germans were killing so,
American soldiers in France,
there were 126, 654 civilians killed
in this country, workers in our
industries, men and women on
our streets, children in our homes
an average of 220 per day. !"
This statement by the Safety
Superintendent of the Santa Fe
is example of the punch" which
weconsider necessary to rouse the
American people to a real enough
evil. The speaker did not think
it worth while to compare the
number of Americans who were
exposed to the German fire with
the number at home. But while
the trained mathematician might
object public indifference to the
ordinary hazard of peace needs
a stirring up. The Santa Fe Of
ficial was at once accurate and
impressive in his further state
ment that under Federal operat-
ion of railroads the Safety First
campaign resulted in decrease in

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY

Bishop Weldon, dean of Dur
ham, England, in his sermon
at Durham Cathedral recently,
attributed the following qualities
to a Christian gentleman, whose
character and spirit were vitality
needed today, particularly In
industrial disputes:
Such a man could not lie. he
shrank instinctively from any and
every action that was mean or
sordid or disingenuous or dlshon-
orable.
His life was open here, aspect
clear. He looked all the world
in the face. He would not If he
could, and could not if he would
play a double part. He would
not take an unfair advantage of
any D0dy.
His word was his bond. His
conscience was his religion. He
was the soul of loyalty and
integrity.
He asked not what he could
get, but what he could give. He
tried to make the world little
better and a little happier. ~ He
was always looking out for a
chance to say a kind word or do
kind act, relieve sorrow or inspire
hope, lift the lame, dry the tears
that flowed so freely and help
those who were sad in heart to
smile again.

The difference in the figure Of the COM
ing appeal and the mite collected In

40 years have brought.
Louis Petain Is particularly jubilant
over the transformation that he has
seen and remarks systematically !:
"You can't buy confidence, sonny.
You've got to earn it."

ash Barrel Jimmy" the Army's
first American convert, died a few
years ago. He was sentenced to serve
six months with the Army by an exas-
perated Judge who had given up hope
Of reforming the drunken "remittance

make II a life sentence and stayed
with the organization until his death.
He attained the rank Of captain and
served others as the Salvationists be-
fore had served him.

Women should take affpositive
stand on all political questions,
according to Mr.. George R. Still,
president of the Missouri FEEDER
alton of Woman's Clubs, in a re-
cent talk before the Woman's
Commercial Club of Kansrs City.
THE nation needs the Woman s
vote and the women should make
their vote a positive factor in
politics. Their acts as voters
will be carefully scrutinized
and the great body of women
voters will have to pay for the
mistakes of the few. Women
should get into one of the parties
and work from the inside.

No measure in Marion county for

Friends

Friends don't make a man, but
if a man has the right qualities,
the right personality, the right
caliber, he cannot help making
friends; they just feel drawn to
him. The thing to do is not to
set out to cultivate friends who
you figure may prove useful. but
to cultivate and develop qualities
and abilities that increase your
own usefulness. If you do that,
and it of course, on the square,
the friendship part will take care
Of itself.

With "The Crank" they evidently

but the paramount question OF all
has not been answered. The baby has
not been found. BlakeIy qoushlin is
either dead or alive. and the question
opens two possibilities and beliefs.
ONE SALVATION ron PRISONER
The salvation OF the prisoner de-
pends upon the return OF this child
alive. and IL Blskely Coughlin Is alive
and ''The Crank" knows where he Is.
then The Crank" would have told
TO save himself He would no longer
take the chances OF having the child
in the possession of another. for no
man can resist a picture OF the cleo
tric chair the helmet and death.
So for this reason IL Is believed In
many quarters Blakely Coughlin. N
he was stolen by THE Crank" for
purposes OF pure ransom. is dead.
Now, on the other hand. II Blsnkely
Coughlin Is alive. The Crank" evil
IDENTIFY does not know where ne Is
and does not know where he might
be found and IL this is the case, what
Is more likely than Augusta Pasquale
was hired to do the kidnapping of the
baby. TO steal the child away from
its mother and then. turning him
over to the person for whom he
worked, let the child slip from his
life? Then, seeing rare opportun-
ity to blackmail Biaely, father he
possibly began the series OF Crank"
letters that wound up In his arrest
at Egg Harbor. N. j. last Monday
afternoon.
And II this latter lathe case. could
not the person wanting this child for
the child's sake. have known he was
playing almost safe within the law,
even In the face OF the apparent
crime?
The laws OF Pennsylvania make the
maximum penalty for KIDNAPPING life
imprisonment; but In this phrasing or
the law is the provision-"with intent
to extort money or any other valu-
able thing for the restoration or re-
turn OF such person"
What could be. done 10 the man. or
the woman who stole the child and
who had no intent TO extort money or
any Of the valuable thing for Its re-
turn.
This is one Of the interesting pos
sibilities OF the case.
Pasauale has not confessed to the
Kidnapping. He has even said he had
nothing to do with 1t and came into
the case after II was done. He has
admitted himself to be "The Crank v
He has admitted getting the money
He has cunningly said the child IL
alive and healthy. and he has added
another excuse for it's not being re-
turned by saying the woman caring
for 1t probably has become so at
tached to Blakely that she may not
want to give him up. He has asked
the police to get word to the posses
sor Of the boy to get him back some
way, so his own criminal hide may be
saved.
And there the police are at the END
Of their trail.
I They've got their man, but not the
