A strange religious ceremony is staged by
the Penitente sect at Abiquiu, New Mexico.
Mrs. Aida r. Sims of Albuquerque happens to
ride into the village IN her Ford and sees:
man. stripped to the waist, standing in a
crowd. switching himself until the blood pours
down his bare back. He's beating out mis-
SINS" villager explained. To hasten the de-
parture of evil spirits, the penitent now and
then paused to dip his switch into salt water.
Your comment probably is: why send mis-
sionaries to Gilman But what Mrs Sims saw
in New Mexico is worth more than feeting
and facetious thought. 1t again emphasizes
the contrasting types of people that are living
together in peace in the enormous area of our
country. One OF the most unique features of
America is its varied races, its contrasting To-
p cal customs its chile carne of different
sects and beliefs.
IL European conditions and prejudices were
repeated in our country. these people of OPP
posite beliefs and customs would constantly be
trying to reform each other with a shotgun
That's why you can hardly live through a day
without hearing: We'll. what if he is? This
is a free country, isn't it?' Or: NO, haven't
anything against them personally. It's Just
that I've got a different way of looking at it.
What they do or think isn't any of my
business" That's the real American spirit
individual freedom.
One reason we get along so peacefully in
the United States is because our continental
territory is 30267S9 square miles-plenty Of
elbow room. That gives US a square mile for
every 35 people. Germany had 300 people to
the square mile-and went to war. Japan
proper has $40 people to the square mile-and
makes diplomats lose sleep
These countries may not fight civil wars
among themselves, which proves that internal
peace is not primarily a matter of non-con-
gestion, but their sardine- packed population in
recent years reached the point where their
rulers began looking longingly at other ma
tons land, to keep peace at home
Give Europe a century's recuperation and
it1l probably be ready for another war. For
instance, Germans may again be fighting
Frenchmen Russians Yet if those potential
and yet unborn warriors could be trans
ported to America in their early years. the
idea of warning against each other would never
occur to them, any more than the Germans
Russians and French now living as peaceful
neighbors in the United States are thinking of
flying at each others throats. Is hamburger
the real cause of world strife of wars? Or
have we. in republican form OF government
something yet underlined that holds the key
to world peace?

Not the Way to Pay.
decatur Herald.]

No great popular peal of thanksgiving and
praise will rise in response TO the act of the
last legislature in giving the state of Illinois a
law permitting World War veterans to pesidle
without a license. Rather, if the inarticulate
public breaks its silence at ALL it will be with
a reproach in terms of the most heartfelt dis
gust The veterans will be the first to speak.
There Is only one assumption upon which
the slightest justification of law like this
one can be based 1t is that the state, an
entity apart from the national government,
still owes some material reward to the men
who represented 1t in the war.
If there is obligation Of this kind still

trifing and insulting concessions this. II
Illinois recognizes debt to its soldiers. let
it pay 1t, generously and completely, in cash.
But let it not think it is discharging any part
OF its debt by inviting them to become peddlers.
Characterization OF uniform, service
record, or honorable wounds by using them as
an appeal to persons to buy something they
do not want is not thing to be encouraged.
II former service men are likely to be reduced
to this extremity, the thing for the state to do
is not to make their path easier in mendicancy.

substantial to avert the necessity for it
The same thing may be said OF any of the
proposals. just now arising thickly as chinch

exemption of former service men from this or

The Bubble of Proof.

| Under the title Proof That Cold

parently manufactured by a staff
man on Sunday newspaper and
pretty widely circulated, has been

}On referring to the medical period

of paragraph in an editorial item

how similar is fine old medical rea-
soning to the too popular deduc-

With a curious glance at her
flushed face, George waved her to a

But do them. as housekeepors must;
To do the weeks wash isn't one of my wishes

But, Oh. how loathe and detest doing dishes
The terrible dishes
Unbearable dishes
That glover at me from the sink!
The making Of beds isn't highly exciting
But still, don't mind it lot;
And scrubbing the floor isn't very inviting.
Yet, somehow. it troubles me not:
But feel I'm poorest of all the poor fishes.
Ny temper it puts on the blink.
To bend to the duty OF washing the dishes
The wearisome dishes
The drearisome dishes

But mostly it isn't so bad;
It's only the dishes that seem 80 appalling.
