We old boys look around us, upon
the younger set; the things we see
confound us and put US in a sweat.
The young are vain and giddy, they're
blowing in their mon, and Benjamin
and Biddy have naught in view but
fun. There's no high aspiration, the
younger bunch among; and we, in
indignation, forget the young are
young. When l was one and twenty,
and Jane was seventeen, we wanted
fun a-plenty, and then some more,
ween. And we went pleasure riding,
behind my old bay mare; romance was
then abiding around US everywhere.
But now I'm old and dotty, and when
the young whiz by, think their con

Why a Boss !?

Because efficient and satisfactory work
seems impossible without his presence. The per-
centage of workers who need bosses is surpris-
ingly large say production managers. Millions
of dollars spent for the supervision of negli-
gent and careless workers If they were 100 per
cent perfect, the boss would cease to exist.
1--WE all aspire to progress says writer in
Forbes Magazine, cor at least we ought to. Well
little likely ever to reach the position of a
boss until we first cease to need a boss. If you
demonstrate to your employer-and keep on
demonstrating, if need be, for very long time
that he doesn't have to employ anyone to keep
you up to the scratch, he is likely to conclude
some fine day that you don't need supervision
and are capable of supervising others
When inefficiency was at its height in the
United States one large automobile concern had
to hire one boss to every three to five men
Through the elimination of inefficient and lazy
workers, the same firm today has one boss tc
every 20 men.

church in a sermon before the New Jersey camp
meeting last Sunday
When bishop of the largest denomination in
the United States makes sweeping statement
like this one, most of us sit up to take notice.
Bishop Berry is in position to have first-hand
knowledge of the facts.
what is wanted he said, sis not more
churches It is a mistake to think So and
real need of the time is not greater number of
churches, but more Christians and more Chris
tianity Many churches would be improved if
their membership were reduced by so per cent
That would eliminate the non-C Christians and give
Christianity better chance to serve. There are
plenty of churches-sometimes I feel convinced
there may be too many. But there is a shortage
of Christians and scarcity of genuine Christian
ity Give us more Christians and we can get
along beautifully with the churches we have"
If Bishop Berry is right in his observation
that half of the members of the Christian
churches are only nominally disciples of Christ,
the truth will come a shock to many who are
deploring the alleged paucity of churches and
their membership.
If drives to get new members have increased
the number of worshipers without making them
believers, Bishop Berry has brought a strong in
dictment against the church. The average man
would hesitate to make such sweeping asser-
ton. Bishop Berry has had opportunity to OBJ
serve and to study the makeup of congregations
all over the country, and perhaps he is right. His
judgment was declared openly. If he misstated
facts and drew wrong conclusions, better in
formed churchmen should take up the challenge

Why Gov. Small Was Indicted

Gov Small of Illinois was indicted on
charge of Illegally converting to his own use in
terest earned on state money while he was treas
urer of the state. Or in other words, he made
money for himself with funds whose earning
power belonged to Illinois,
Many persons have had the idea that the
charges against him. and his opposition to arrest
on the theory that "the king can do no wrong, y
we're features of political brawl between his
friends and opponents.
Under our form of government Gov. Small is
innocent until proved guilty, but Illinois rightly
feels Inundated over his claim of immunity to
arrest because he is the chief executive of the
state.
Circuit Judge Smith paid little attention to
Gov. SmalPs argument and ruled that he is sub
ect to arrest, just is any other volator of the
law. In his opinion, the judge ruled that there
is no such thing as the divine right" of kings
and that the king has no counterpart in Illinois.
He also held that it is beyond the scope of the
governors power to call state troops to shield
him from arrest.
One is tempted to question the common sense
of governor who advances the puerile argu-
ments of Gov. Small to avoid arrest. The people
of Illinois have enough respect for their state
we believe to feel that the rights of Gov. Small
have nothing to fear from the judicial processes
of the commonwealth, and that if he is innocent
jury of his peers will vindicate his probity in
office. His course prior to the decision of Judge
Smith was a foolish one for an innocent man to
follow.
The question Of whether he embezzled public
money is simple one for jury to answer The
accused will have the advantage of every rule
established for the protection of defendant,
and if the charges are unfounded it will not take
the jury long to find out.
