sion of such things as would con-
tribute to his happiness necessarily
came into conflict with similar wish
in others. There were no courts to
which their dispute could be carried
and there were no lawyers to trans
late their passions into flowing ora
tory. The contest was carried to the
most convenient forest and for the
translation of their passions, the
ablest hickory club was retained.
The thinker took counsel with his
neighbors and made these proposals.
Wheresoever a dispute may arise
over the ownership of any goods,
food, shelter or woman, the princi-
pals to the quarrel should mutually
concede various points in the con-
troversy in the interest of general
amity and peace. He further sug
gested that the peace and safety of
all would be served by the adoption
of his Code of Mutual Concession
that is, he pledged all members of
the community to the proposition
that each man, being given like as
surance from all others, would no
longer steal, kill, covet, perjure, and
so forth.
Every man realized that in so far
as he curbed his passions and preju-
dices and respected the rights of
others, so much would he by his
example inspire a reciprocal good
will in all others to the ultimate adj
vancement of his own safety and
happiness. Thus Mutual Conces-.

A FEW HINTS TO THE SKEPTIC
By DIR. SAMUEL GROSS

sion for Mutual Happiness" became
the corner stone of their tribal law.
The thinker drew up list of don'ts
corresponding to the injunctions in
such modern codes of ethics as the
Ten Commandments. Whatsoever he
recommended each of his followers
supported and obeyed. These moral
agreements of Mutual Concession
were quite adequate for their civil
needs. Wheresoever it became nee
essary, constabulary system with
courts and prisons assisted in the
enforcement of the law.
The thinker each day pursued his
usual activities. This is the final
analysis amounted to the pursuit of
happiness. One day he was over
taken by the desire for the beautiful
wife of friend. He imagined that
he would find great happiness in the
qualification of this desire. He per-
mitted the desire to take it's own
course His friend never suspected
either his wife or the thinker of
illicit relations, and neither was ever
apprehended.
The thinker lived in the midst of
his people to the end of his days. In
spite of his act of self-gratificatiOn
the best interests of his followers
were always the closest concerns of
his heart. He continued to guide
them along the proper moral and
ethical paths.
In the next generation another
sage rose to great prominence. The

mitted as heritage to this new
generation were all honored by him
and his followers. Each succeeding
generation developed it's leader as a
promulgator of these moral teach
ings. Each leader enjoyed the full
est confidence of his people.
Mems notions may vary to some
degree. So each age might see some
change in the original habiliments of
the law. Sometimes their chauvin-
ism filled the people with pride over
the changes their leader would
create. In one generation the law
might suffer at his hands and in
another be again elevated to it's orig
inal or even greater excellence.
One day a man OF weaker moral
fibre attained the leadership of the
people. This man so changed the
moral law that hardly sem blance of
it's original excellence remained.
The people fell into the most degrad-
ing excuses. Not until many gen.
erations had passed was the law re-
stored to it's original favor, honor
and respect. At this day a most
wise and able leader was in the seat
of authority.
the desire for some luxury which he
was not fortunate enough to pos
sess. He fancied he saw a short cut
to the happiness which the posses
sion of it promised. This short cut
involved an act of a questionable
character. He knew the act was an
infraction of the moral laws that he
had pledged his followers to OBJ
serve. He knew if all abused this
mutual faith that the general peace
and order which they so happily pro-
noted would be dashed to the
ground. He was ruled strongly by
his selfish instincts and yielded to
this imprudent impulse. AS fortune
would have it, he escaped detection.
Upon another day this man dis
covered himself robbed by an un-
known hand. The incident plunged
him into long train of thought and
deep meditation.
For many centuries his people pos
sessed more or less definite notion
of God. AS each effect had a cause,
so his people acknowledged some
mysterious power as their master.
They took note of the harmony of
the seasons. They observed the re-
lentless laws by which the elements
were governed. They concluded that
their God, the author of creation, was
One and He was absolute. It is not
for us to say that these conclusions
were correct or otherwise. That was
the belief of the people of that day
even as it is today.
This God had brought him into
this life without his consent, the
sage reflected. Likewise He had
brought his fellow offender into this
life without consulting him. Had
not each of these men a reasonable
right to hold God responsible for his
happiness equally with the others?
Had not each the right to expect
God, in the distribution of His favors
to show the other no partially? An
impartial God is just God. Con-
tinuing his meditations the sage
asked, what is Gods purpose with
man? He who had made men, ap-
parently the highest specimen of His
handicraft and had given him domin-
ion over the works of His hands, was
He not serious-minded God? Was
His purpose not the most serious?
Surely if was NOT GOd'c nurnoco RI

arms jumped into well, came to
her senses and called for help.

0EBS BACK IN CELL AFTER

on his way back to his cell in the
Federal penitentiary after his visit
to Attorney General Daugherty at
washington. He would not discuss
his trip to Washington, and. accom-
panied by Warden Zerbst and his
attorney. left Immediately for the
penitentiary.
Beneath quiet reserve Debs
showed that he was enjoying the
novelty of an experience so different
from the routine days at the prison,
where he is serving ten-year term
on conviction of violating the espion-
age act. He and Warden Zerbst
shook hands when they met.
On almost any other subject than
his trip to Washington the Socialist
leader cheerfully conversed, seeming
to enjoy talking,
You know ! can't discuss thal."
was his reply to all questions re-
sarJ!ns his conference with the At
toruey General or the probability of
pardon as result Of the meeting,
but he did say, that he enjoyed the
"trip immensely" and appreciated
the confidence shown in me-"
Are you going directly back to
the penitentiary?" he was asked at
the station.
Yes, I'm going back to be good
convict again" he replied, smiling.
3lr. Debs said nothing out OF the
ordinary had happened on the trip,
which ended with his re-entrance in
10 the prison a half hour after the
train arrived here.
Wearing q dark suit and carrying
a light oyercoat and black bag. he
was hardly noticed by the usual
crowd Of travellers until moving pie
ure cameras began to grind.
"Oh, I can't pose" he said - the
camera men, hut they snapped his
picture as he walked along. aud
finally, with an apology to the ward
en- the Socialist leader paused q
moment and permitted the camera
men to satisfy themselves.
A few minutes later he had climb
ed lightly into the warden's sstomo-
bile, and, with Mr.. Zerbst driving.

usual Georgia license, was the only
thing to indicate that the close of
the unprecedented trip was anything
