this fact is bringing realization and the news
paper press has done good scout duty.
KEEP THE HOUSE IN ORDER.

Governor Lowden, of Illinois, has said that
s. successful self government in even the small
est political unit is the only guaranty OF sue
cessful self government in q great country like
ours'' He said also that there are many evi-
dences that this type of government is break
ing down in America
Governor Lowden sounds a warning to be
noted and needed We are losing the power
and capacity and initiative that make local gov
eminent what it was and what American ideals
expect it to continue to be. When town, OF q
city or an industrial community or district tinds
itself unable to maintain order and when 1t calls
upon the immediate higher government for aid
and hands over responsibility, loyal self-gov-
eminent is discredited Keep multiplying this
sort Of inability and Of call upon higher author
ity, and paternalism and martial law are IN
sight. 1t is poor thing to have vision OF q
time when every situation of public concern must
be given over to the state or federal govern
ment to settle and every difficulty of local orr
gin and local extent must conscript state or ma
tional resources and aid, Governor Lowden
says ''the primary duty of every political dl-
vision, no matter how small is to keep it's own
house in order" If it does not keep an order
ly house, there is of course nothing for it but to
have the house put in order by outside agents.
But if we are to heed the call Back to the re-
public we need to see to it that our local and
state agents of government govern; that there
be no passing Of the buck" that no officials
who wear binders be permitted to retain Office.

MEDITATION.

DR. Frank Crane. in Physical Cul.
ture: Meditation is an art almost I'M
known in our western world.
About the only meditation we In.
dulge in is the kind induced by an
Imagination oyerheated by some
strong desire; as when we reyel in
visions of gratified appetites. of sue
cess or of good fortune. This is not
true meditation; it is sort of drunk
ennesS.
Real meditation Is where the In
tellect is liberated and goes over our
whole self, inspecting, setting all
things in order.
It is an art 1t cannot be done
with good results except by prac-
tice.
Most Americans are forever doing.
doing, doing. When they are not
doing, they want to be amused.
Every minute must be full. We can
not ride on the cars without a news
paper We will not sit quiet for half
an hour without some person to talk
to or some periodical to read. To
commune with ones self is the
height Of boredom.
The person we least know, and
most dread to be left alone with, is
ourself.
To acquire skill in meditation, set
apart a half hour every day. Be
alone in your room. Be physically
still, absolutely. Read nothing. Look
at nothing. Concentrate upon your
own thoughts.
Fix in your mind that You are
thoroughly to take stock Of yourself;
your mind is to go over all your
body and soul. to see clearly what
you are, to avoid living In a,fooPs
self-delusion.
Take UP your body. What habits
are you dropping into? Have you
any rational plan of exercise Is
your eating haphazard or Intelligent?
Whatever you do, at least 1t will not
hurt you to know.

NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE
Companionship Of the Sexes
BY DR.. JAMES e. TALMAGE
Of the Council Of the Twelve Church of Christ
ter-Day Saints; Salt Lake City, Utah.
NOTE For free copies Of other articles Of this series send
request to the author

When this earth, new unit
amongst uncounted worlds, had devel-
oped to a condition suited to human
habitation, God created man in His
own personal physical image, and
gave him dominion over the earth and
its manifold belongings. Beside the
man stood the woman, sharing with
him the divinely bestowed honor and
dignity of supremacy over all lesser
creations; for the Lord God had said:
ut is not good that the man should
be alone; ! will make him an help
meet for him. Gen. 2:1S).
So begins the first page of human
history relating to this planet: "In
the image of God created He him;
male and female created He them"
The earliest recorded command
ment to the newly embodied pair
provided for the procreation of their
kind; for unto them the Lord said:
I.Be fruitful, and multiply, and rcpien-
ish the EARTH" That the welded state
thus inaugurated was to be the per-
manent order of life amongst Adams
posterity lis attested by the further
Scripture: Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and
shall cIeavc unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2:24).
Inasmuch as the union of the sexes
| is the only way by which the per-
petuity of the race is possible, such
union is essentially as beneficient as
it is necessary. Lawful, that is to say
righteous, association of the sexes, is
Ian uplifting and enabling function to
the participants, and the heritage of
Iearth-life to preexistent spirits who are
thereby advanced to the mortal state.
Conversely, all sexual union outside
the bonds of legitimacy is debasing and
tiles themselves, but to children who
are thus illborn, and to organized
|society In general.
The stability of society demands
that the divinely established institu-
ton of marriage shall be administered
under secular law, whereby the fam.
lily unit shall be legalized entity,
with responsibilities and obligations
Clearly defined, the rights of husband,
wife and children protected, property
interests safeguarded, and inheritance
regulated.
But the marriage covenant is more
than legalized contract. It is a
solemn sacrament, under which the
parties are made eligible to the bless
ing of Divine approval, and by which
they are answerable both to the law
OF man and to the Power that trans
cends all human institutions. That
marriage 10 honorable is as true today
as when the precept was written in
the Epistle to the Hebrews.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE DOG

THE DOG
I've never known dog to wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old time friend to tag
At some more influential heel;
The yeilowest cur ever knew
Was, to the boy who loved him. true.
I've never known dog to show
Halfway devotion to his friend,
To seek kinder man TO know
Or richer. but unto the end
The humblest dog ever knew
Was to the that loved him, true.
I've never known dog to fake
Affection for present gain,
false display Of love to make,
Some little favor to attain
I've never known Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was not
But have known dog to fight
With all his strength to shield a friend,
And whether wrong or whether right,
To stick with him until the end
And have known dog to lick
The hands OF him that men would kick
And have known dog to bear
Starvation's pangs from day to day
With him who had been glad to share
His bread and meat along the way.
No dog however mean rude,
Is guilty OF ingratitude.
The dog is listed with the dumb
No voice has he to speak his creed
His messages to humans come
BY faithful conduct and by deed.
He shows, as seldom mortals do.
