FOR LACK OF A BOY SCOUT

The papers recently gave consider
able publicity to the fact that a GER
tain physician lost himself in the
woods while on a hunting expedition
and was found two weeks later, nearly
starved with a raw partridge In his
start a fire. 1t is interesting to notice
how frequently in commenting upon
this Incident the newspapers have
pointed out that the doctor should
have had boy scout along, to show
him how to make fire by friction and
find bis direction by sun and stars"
by reason of the scout movement,
the next generation will be better pre-
pared for such emergencies" observes
the Salt Lake City News. ITO say the
man suffered for lack of q match is to
misstate his case. He suffered almost
to death for lack of fire, and he lacked
so much on matches. What he needed,
in the absence of matches, was a
knowledge of some earlier way of max
ing fire." Some knowledge of the arts
Of primitive man are desirable for all
who would seek the primitive wilds.
This il one of the great ideas of the
boy scout organization. The finished
scout, left in the woods, could make a
fire by rubbing sticks, could make a
wigwam or a hut, and could estimate
the general direction by his watch with
the aid of the sun. The boy scout or
ganizers did not discover these things,
but they discovered that they could
still be used in an age Of great arti-
fetal progress"

WOULD HAND LORD DOLLAR
But Some People viii Doubt Whether
Such Man Will Ever Get
Close Enough.

A young man in Missouri was col
lecting funds for benevolent institu-
ton. He tried hard to get a dollar
from an old gentleman who was noted
for his closeness.
When the young man had stated his
mission and asked for the dollar the
elderly person asked:

"Well," continued the old gentle

A good American can help just now
by putting his respect for the law
strongly in evidence. For the law Is
the law. If it is a poor law, 1t should
be changed. But until 1t is changed,
it should be obeyed-whether 1t re-
lates to the shooting of game birds or
to the use of liquor or to the speed
of automobiles or to murder or 10
anarchy. Many people who would
hotly resent the charge that they are
anarchists take delight in evading the
laws and in making sport Of the laws.
Every thinking man must realize
that this Twentieth century clyillza-
alton is too complex to be sane, safe
and sober. Medical philosophers are
unanimous in declaring that we Amer
leans live too hard and too fast; that
our rapid ways are harmful both to
the individual and to the race; that
we should slow up. We ars. 70 use the
homely old phrase, burning ehe candle
at both ends. Men try to succeed In
business. to rule in politics, to be So
claI leaders-all at the same time.
To crowd dissimilar things together
has become a national characteristic.
Our avoeations are often as wearing
as our yocations we play even harder
than we work. Thus to crowd two
or more lives into one is to borrow
of nature. She is hard creditor and
she always exacts payment.
One cannot, of course, indlct a whole
people. There are still millions of
sane, safe and sober people in Amerl-
ca. But a society that demands or
even countenances such recklessness
is in need of reformation. 1t would

how many men and women put them
selves in an early grave by going the
pace that kills.

4SN1s&SI through lhe year
There's nothing new
under the sum-" according to a very
old saying. It's true, too, in sense
But In another sense it most certainly
isn't true. For there is something
new every time New Years day comes
around.
There are several things that are
new at New Years beside the New
Year. There's a new chance. There's
new responsibility. There's a new
balance in the Bank of Time. There's
Rew bank book. So, what will the
check stubs show at the end Of the
year,
Rev. John Sherman had q right TO
make his reasonable request" If prac-
llclng what one breaches gives that
right. His three score and ten" were
busy years. He was born at Dedham,
Essex, England, and before he was
tyenty-one he was an A. B. and A. NJ.
Of Trinity college, Cambridge, min
lster of the Church of England and a
Puritan on his way across the Atlantic
TO the Massachusetts Bay colony.
There was no church for him, since
tne only three In existence-Boston
Salem and Watertown-had efficient
ministers. So he was one of the ''orig-
lnal planters" of Wethersfield, Conn.,,
and a watcher" 1634-4O. Then he
was one of the founders of Milford,
New Haven plantation. Next he was
a magistrate representing Milford in
'he New Haven colony and also
charged with the duty of dividing land.

In le47 he became the minister of

Let us hope that the reasonable
request" that this early Puritan put
to himself was to him externally prof
liable" In any event, he stands forth
as a fine sample of sturdy American
pioneer family that has given four
immortals to the nation-ROger Sher-
man, one of the trainers of the Dec
iaration Of Independence; General W.
I. Sherman; Secretary Of State John
Sherman; Vice President james S.
| Sherman.
Certainly his request is one that
is always reasonable. And 1t is one
that was never more reasonable than
now. The year 1922 is a year when
every good American should endeavOr
duly to prize and diligently to i'm
prove time" 1t is a year with a chal-
lenge. 1t is a year with a promise.
Though in folly and IN blindness
And in sorrow still we grope,
Yet in mans increa sing kindness
Lies the worlds stupendous hope.
And 1t Is a reasonable request to ey-
cry red-bloOded, thinking, patriotic
American. Such a man knows that
nobody can stand still; that he has
either to progress or fall back The
progressive man accepts responsible
ties as the measure of his capabili-
ties. He never shirks them, for he rec
ognizes in them the price he must pay
for advancement.
Competition is going to be keen this
year. The dollar is going to be hard
to get. Men who have been getting
twice what they were before and have
had lots of money to spend are going
to feel the pinch. 1t looks as If ev-
erybody who works for living will
have to work a little harder. 1t may
be that life will seem hard. But what
of it? Life has always been bard
perhaps it was meant to be. Anyway
il is something that has got to be lived
and mastered. It's the business Of men
"to greet the unseen with cheer" and
"to advance on chaos and the dark.
of course all Of US cannot have a
hand in the big things that must be
done in meeting the challenge OF 49,.

HOW TO KNOW THE PROFITEERS

There are three types Of profteor,
Tbs simplest and crude5t member of
this numerous and interesting species
is the seller 10 exactS a profit Of
eishty or one hundred per cent, or
more, upon Whatever he sells. Some
times the law reaches him, but more often
not. For him there is a hereafter.
Tn, second variety of the species is
the deale. who compels his customers to
buy ex ravagantly Or go without, This
stripe Of merchant adhereS to his old
pre-war gross profit figured on a per-
centage basis; but he refuses 10 stock
any but the most expensive goods nOOmat-
ter what quantities Of loWer priced mer-
chandise the manufacturers and job
hers offer him. Instead Of buying
fOur-dolIar units to retail at six dollars
he stocks t9n-dolIar goods to resell at
fifteen dollars This type Of the genus
profteer is a familiar figure in every
shopping district. His system is law
proof. At the moment there is nothing
that can be done to him; but when re-
latively normal times return aud medi
um- priced gods bnco ne mis- best sellers
there will be 10 obligation to buy from
h m.
The third and by far the trickiest
branch o The profiteer family often in
tests the smaller shops in The side
streets. He displays his native cunning
by judiciously combining the methods
# the two more primitive types. He
marks his goods with code figures and
charges every customer whatever the
traffic will bear above an exorbitant
minimum. Angels and uneasy profieels
are the only ones VINO would not hear

Where

BY Rev. Thos. II. Lipscomb,

phase descriptive of habit as old as
the race. Adam said, "The woman
she gave me-and | did eat" Eve
made answer, "The serpent beguiled
me and did eat Responsibility
anywhere but upon ourselves.
The most popular extension of this
evasion today is to place responsible
ity for wrong doing upon every body
in general and nobody in particular,
the ultimate effect of which is simply
to excuse the criminal.
But responsibility abides ard con-
not be shifted. It rests:
1. Upon the individual Transgress-
or--the culprit knows that he is doing
wrong, and is guilty and responsible
for doing so.
2 Upon those failing, in sentimental
weakness, to punish wrong doing,

law. Sin deserves a,ad should receive
Unpublished violators

g. Upon parents, preachers, teach
ers, and all who have failed to exert
as potent a moral influence as the in

But upon society in general the re-
sponsibility does not lie, and to place
it here is to place it nowhere, and
worse, to throw it off of those upon
whom it justly falls. So then, re-
