seeing these tempting actions they have been
told were not right are led to experiment for
themselves.
upon the stage, l believe. People go to the
theatre almost as much to see the beautiful
clothes as the play. And some stage people
today make n shocking display Of them
selves. If actresses and society women
could be induced to dress with greater care
and modesty, perhaps the young folk would
be led to follow the good example Society
may talk all It pleases about morals and
manners. bat until these good traits are
practiced, we will never better conditions.
My plea is for moderation. We cannot
stem the tide of modern civilization. But
as we merge into new customs with new nd =
Wntages as well as temptations surrounding

TOSEPHUS DANIELS, until recently
- secretary Of the navy, relates q contro-
vcrsy between himself and Postmaster Cen
cral BuresOn back in 1913.
Mr.. Daniels had gone up in a hydropanc
OF the navy and it was an event so unusual
as to get place on the front page of the
newspapers of the day.
AT Il cabinet meeting Mr.. Burcson pro-
tested, He said that n cabinet officer had
responsibilities. that his safety was mat
ter of Importance to the nation. that his
untim"ly demise was more than Il personal
matter since il would interfere with the~pro-
gram of the government. a cabinet officer
had no right to do foolhardy things. Mr.
Daniels should stay out of flying machines
The secretary of the navy took the up-
braidins good naturedly. He made so bold
as 10 defend the airplane. He prophesied
that before he went out of Office Mr. Burle-
son would be carrying mail by airplane.
me postmaster general scouted the idea
ana the other members of the cabinet ioined
with him. And this was only eight years
ago.
Nhen Representative Carl HAYDEN, of
Arnona. was a student at Stanford I'niyer-
Slty he was the college orator and tho leader

When Representative EdmOnds told
rural members OF the Legislature that one
reason for defeating the Sewers bill was to
nrcvcnt prisoners with political influence
from being freed by friendly magistrates he
was told by them that that was the argU-
side. that they declared the bill was de-
signed to prevent persons arrested from
bcing discharged at central station because
they could use political influence on ad-
ministraton magistrates there. 1t seems
hard TO believe that the story could deceive
even truly rural legislator. With a choice
Of magistrates before them, is it reasonable

rush their prisoners to magistrates sure 70

business or operate as broker will not in
itself drive the disreputable dealer and

the penalty for any infraction of this broker s
license means prohibition from further oper-
alton in the commonwealth, its value to the
reputable operator becomes apparent

VALUABLE hours OF

NALJ ABLE hours OF every legislative
' session are wasted in unnecessary roll
calls in the House of Representatives.
II requires from seven TO ten minutes to
call the roll.
A still further waste Of time occurs
from the failure of members to answer to
their names.
They are either gossipng. swapping
stories, reading newspapers. writing letters
or doing something else to distract their at
tention from the immediate business ut hand
the roll call.
Now comes Franklin Spencer EdmOnds
with u scheme to end it all.
He suggests that on each members desk
there be placed II push button with an
electric register for the members name on
the clerks dais.
At the call for a vote on any question
each member could press the button on his
desk and--presto, the thing is done.
BY this method silently and swiftly. the
work of ten minutes could be condensed into
ten seconds.
The wear and tear on the clerks voice
the waste of valuable time. the murmur oi
hundreds of voices with its accompanying
annoyance would thus be avoided
But who could guarantee that it was the
member himself who had voted?
