An Eye for, An Eye.

The difference between lynch law and civil
law is not great; the gap no larger than that
which separates the lyncher and the wolf Of
the pack.
What better authority upon cruelty can
there be than Nietxsche. the German, who ex-
allied the blond beast super-man?"
"Without cruelty there Is no FEAST" says
Nietzsche. He traces the origin Of all punish
ment to primitive times. Even as late as the
Roman civilization the value of each limb Of
the body was expressed in the law as secur-
ity for debt Punishment was not melted to
the guilty, says Nietzsche. It arose out OF the
belief that suffering suffering
could be equivalent of goods.
Thus-the lender accepts the pledge of the
borrowers wife. The borrower cannot pay.
In the torture Of the woman the lender re-
ceives the value Of the unpaid debt.
It was not the unadorned vengeance, born
Of their love fer their defled and murdered
sister, which made two Kentuckians ask to
pull the switch to kill the woman's slayer
1t was this seeking of value for value, pain
for pain-an eye for an eye.
So long as man carries, tucked deep within.

restricted cruelty, therell be lynchings rs oft

and lose individual scruples in what Muenster-
berg was pleased to call, mass consciousness"

II Employees Of the Tri-City Railway company
'ore to be congratulated upon the success Of
ffheir campaign for higher wages. In less
'fhan Z year, through effective organization,
l(hsy have approximately doubled their conn
3bsnsation. They are one Of the few classes
kSf workers who have been able to keep pace
with tho march Of advancing costs and pos
41tbly to anticipate them little. The carmen

land their main working conditions, turn a
fleaf ear to further agitation and settle down
slor long period Of uninterrupted service. j

ttroversy The company processes inability to

~ compensation on q 7-cent fare basis. Its
{expenscs also have doubled since the days
tRhen It could make money charging S cents
ride. Materials it uses for repairs and ex-
(ensions have more than doubled. That is
Vastly demonstrated. To meet the increase
~ about sixteen per cent in the pay of its
employees 1t IL estimated that every one Of the
100000 individuals in the quad-cities must be
searried 20 additional times a year. The COM
spany isn't likely to collect 100000 more fares
NEXT year than It did last. II it does it will
need more help and equipment to do SO, which
will further add to expenses. Judging by
what has happened one needn't miss very far
icn prediction as to what the Illinois utilities
acommission will do with reference to the ap-
splication for higher fares.
Not every patron is going to cheerfully meet
ban increase in cost Of service In fact there
will be quite lot Of grumbling and some will
3be disposed to blame the carmen for taking
advantage Of the situation to push their cause
ahead little too rapidly. Carmen. however

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A young
man has asked me to go to a picnic
with him. Am supposed to pro-
vide the lunch? DOUBTFUL.
Usually the girl provides the
lunch. II were you would ask
the young man If he would like to
have you take the lunch. He prob
ably expects you to and the situa-
ton would be embarrassing if you
did not.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am
eighteen years old and engaged to
be married soon to the best boy !
know. love him but I am sure
he loves me better. There is an
other boy (but he is not among the
best as he is rather rough) whom !
once went with. He still cares for
me, but I have not been with him
in some time. When he is around
in a crowd or near me I always feel
different and q little worried after
ward. Why do feel this way?
POLLY.
My dear.gi I cannot advise you
too strongly not to marry soon. y
You do not love the young man
you expect to marry and if you
enter into loveless marriage you
will spoil the greater part of your
life. You are very young and
should be enjoying the freedom oil
girlhood. Think what q terrible
thing it would. be to find the man
ron could love with your whole
soul after You are married.
You probably feel you cannot
hurt your finance as you will have
to by breaking your engagement
Remember that he is only a boy
and that time will heal the wound
It will be fairer to him to say mo-
now than to deny him the great
blessing Of . wife's love
It might be . wise plan to tel
him you are undecided, il that Il
the way you feel. II, however, you
are constantly telling yourself how
fine he Is and trying to force . low
which your heart does not feel, thu
kindest thing you can do IN to breal
the engagement definitely and a
once. Love goes where it will ant
cannot be forced.
Your regard for the other younl
man does not mean love. He ha.
. magnetism which fascinates you
Love means congeniality Of taste,
and thought % we'll Is the pleasure
IN having the loved one near.

cept it without complaint. II you
want to be the sweetheart and are
not satisfied to be the friend, drop
him.
Dear Mrs. thompson. I am
girl fifteen years Of age. am des-
perately in love with a man twenty
four. He seems to care very much
for me. He calls on me from two
to three times a week.
He kissed me good night one
night. I really didn't want him to
because I did not think it was
right, but he didn't ask for my con-
sent. Am I too young to be doing
such things? My parents are dead.
YOURS TRULY.
You are too young to have a
sweetheart. Many boys kiss girls
without asking, but girls could
avoid kisses, II they really wanted
to. A girl knows instinctively when
man is going to kiss her, usually
she has been encouraging him,
thinking she would make him stop
the last minute.
i Never forget that some day you
will marry and you will want to be
las untouched as possible for the
man who will be your husband.
You owe the man you marry a
clean past, and unless he can offer
| you the same he is cheating you.
The fact that your mother and
father are dead makes it hard for
you sometimes. You can get help.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sprained Ankle.

What Is the best thing to do when
one turns on the ankle while out
ON q hike? (B. KY
Answer-If 1t is q slight sprain,
the ankle should be supported by
tightly laced high shoe, or by q
snugly applied bandage Of elastic or
strapping with adhesive plaster
strips, and the victim should then
walk on It and not favor 1t. II It
Is more severe, the greatest relief
is holding the foot and ankle in very
hot water. Many severe sprains
are in reality fractures about the
ankle, and therefore the victim
should not walk on the injured foot
II there is much swelling or dis
coloration or very great pain.

value Of buttermilk and sweet milk
for one who has stomach and in
