 ''No, sir" she replied, "Mr Jesus was not there, so just gave it Mrs. Jesus.''

ment of the last few years, and

suggesting from time to time |
that a great change in world af- |
fairs are due, and that Gentle

order of things are to have their
beginning from this date.
To be sure very few people, |
comparatively, have paid any at
tention to these suggestions,
and the great world leaders have
poo-pood the idea, and have gone
ahead apparently in full conf
dence that they could, and would
have everything fixed directly,
and that the world would soon
forget all these things, and enter
on another period Of |'business
as usual"
But the world persistently re-
fuses to forget, and not only are
we not entering another era of
brisk commercialism, and busi-
ness as usual, but all known
facts persist in hammering into
our reasoning faculties that
something is radically wrong,
and is not only refusing to right
itself, it is refusing to be right
ed, and is rapidly growing worse
every day.

tinent is on fire, figuratively

A SERMON ON CRANKS.

VO1A3 AAO1ASJ, ~ o~AAAo w w
about time for Sermon on
Cranks." So will crank up my |
mouth and utter d few timely
remarks.
The world is full of cranks.
You are one.
I am another.
You can hardly find a man
or woman living who isn't a
crank about something. If it
amt one thing it's sure to be
something else.
Maybe I have some particular
hobby that | ride to such an ex-
tent that others call me
"cranky" about it.
And the people that call me
cranky about one thing seem
to me just as cranky about
somethingIelse.
And so it goes.
But what is crank, after
all?
There ought to be some way
of describing the clitter so he
could be identified.
Here is how I describe him:
A crank is anybody that rides
e different hobby from the one
I ride. Also anybody that op~
poses my hobby or talks slightly
about it.
For instance, if am a medical
doctor, my hobby is pouring
various kinds of dope into peo-
pies bellies to cure what don't
all them. Or it may be squirt
ing maggot-juice under their
skins to make them immune
from maggot-bites. And any
body that comes along preach
ing against drug-doping and vac
cination is a "crank." See?
Again, if I happen to be an
army officer, with a life-time's
training in the art of killing
people, anybody who opposes
war and militarism is a crank.
Or if I happen to be a reac-
tionary politician, getting a fat
salary from reactionary gov.
ernment, of course any man
who dares to criticise me anc
my kind is a crank. No mat.
ter how bad we need criticising
it mustn't be done. Simply be.
cause the majority of people are
reactionaries, and we happen te
be in the majority, we take re-
fuge behind the collective will
of that majority and think our
selves immune from criticism
Hence all people who see things
different from us are cranks.
But it never occurs to us othel
people have rights, and tina
our conduct looks just as crank,
and foolish to them as their
looks to us.
Jesus Christ was crank.
All of his followers wer
cranks.
Every man who has blaze,
a new trail for civilization ha
been a crank, and has bee
cussed and abused by fifty
seven varieties of other cranks
A crank is only a crank s
long as he is in the minority
SO long as his cause is weak an
unpopular. Just let his cause &C

Bomb Plan Fails;

Had the dam broken. a rich

flooded.
The report said the explosive

with three sticks of dynamite ar
ranged as a detonator. 1t had been
lowered into position behind the
stone masonry by means of a wire.
A fuse had burned to its end, and
the failure Of the bomb to explode

HARDING RE ECOGNIZES
UPPER HOUSE CLAIM
TO SHARE IN AFFAIRS
Appointment of Lodge to Act With Hughes
Forms Nucleus of American Repre-
sentation at Farley.

Washington, Aug, 16.-(By the As
sociated Press)-The senate claim to
a share of responsibility for the for
eign affairs of the nation was recogniz-
ed by President Harding Tuesday by
the designation of Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge, of Massachusetts, chairman
of the foreign relations committee, as a
member of the American delegation to
the disarmament conference.
Formal announcement of the appoint
ment was made from the White House
where it was indicated that the presi-
dent felt he had formed the nucleus
of balanced delegation by choosing
as the first members Senator Lodge
and Secretary Hughes, whose selection
was made known several days ago.
Other members probably will not be
chosen until it is determined definite
~ how many places each nation is to
have in the conference.
Well Qualified,
Entirely aside from Mr.. Lodges per
sonal qualifications, the view was re-
flected in high administration circles
that the significance of his selection
lay in the fact that he was in a posi-

international compacts requiring senate
advice and consent" The president
was said to feel that because of it's
joint responsibility in foreign affairs, it
would be great mistake not to give
the senate an official voice while the
negotiations are in progress.
Appropriation Approved.
Whether other senator's will be
named on the delegation is a question
which the president himself cannot
answer But it has been suggested
among officials close to the White
House that he might give representa-
tion to the democratic as we'll as to
the republican side of the treaty rati-
flying body.
In congress the presidents request
for 100000 appropriation to pay
expenses, was given approval by the
senate appropriations committee.
Although announcement was with
held, it was indicated that the Pan
American building, situated near the
state department and White House,
had been chosen for the place of the
meeting.

ocrats of the house prepared in caucus

reductions were achieved.

measure having been formally reported
tuesday by the ways and means com
mittee with the democrats voting solid

Tax Evasion Harder.
Chairman Fordney insisted in the
majority report that the policy Of the
bill was reducing rather than shifting
tax burdens.
Emphasis was laid BY the chairman
on sections of the new bill designed to
prevent tax evasion. He informed the
house that under existing laws. the
taxpayer might improperly reduce his
surtaxes by changing his fiscal, thus
splitting his annual income into two
parts. To prevent such an evasion, he
added. the bill provided that in the
case of a return for a period of less
than one year the net income shall
be placed on an annual basis and the
surtax properly computed thereon in
accordance with the number of months
in such period.
To prevent evasion of tax through
the medium of wash sales Mr. Ford
ney said section had been put in the
bill to limit deductions for losses by
providing that no deduction should be
allowed for losses sustained in the
sale of securities where the taxpayers
at or about the time of such sale pur-
chased identical securities.
