DANGERS OF TOO TASTY LEGISLATION.

The desire for racial progress is a human instinct The tracks the of man have left on the surface the earth during the thousands of years since the beginning tell the great story of forward movement Here and there group of human kind has caught in an eddy, in the wilderness away from the main currents, and it's progress has almost mperceptible At times frequently the result of reactions from ill-eonsidered attempts progress, dishonest and selfish leadership premature action, progress has ceased for long short periods There have been periods when the movement backward. But al- ways has come progress again.
 This instinct of progress probably is the most the distinguishing characteristics of the Caucasian During the course of it's trek from Asia westward the Pacific shore of the Western Hemisphere the people have never long at time been satisfied with things they were They have almost constantly fought for improvement
 Experience has shown that the longer and hap pier periods of progress, the periods where the progress made has held fast against reactions, where it has been made secure for those who after, have been when the pace not too swift for the masses to keep up with the procession.s The his tcry the has been demonstration of the truth of the old story of the turtle and the hare. 4
 It is strange when considers this instinct Of progress, that and again have leaders who atteinpt to move too fast. They either set a pace with which the of the people have not been prepared to keep step they move forward into unsurvyed paths and become lost and lead to the destruction of those who follow them. Tennessee wit referring to a great progressive statesman said he reminded him of a horse back in his State whose natural gait running away. Real progress can- not be made by running away Experience has demonstrated that over and over.
 That is why many reform movements cften result in harm than good. The leaders run away and with them stampeded lot of the rank and file The result is frequently wreck age and waste The runaways either destroy them selves have waste time waiting for the others to catch up. They often find themselves off the natural path of progress Nearly always they run over others rutheasy and less de struction.
 We have frequent instances of this, undue haste in leadership in the United States We have Labor organize secure better wages and living

Perkins, at thai time valued member of The Empire staff. MT. Per kns found the Report little four-page paper Ii contains six pages and the pages have been in creased in size. In the meantime modern machine type-setting and other laborsaving machinery have been installed.
 The growth of the Report under MT. Perkins is credtable to him and testimony to the constantly improving conditions the town of Petersburg, Ct which the Report says:
 There is practically unemployment in
 Petersburg. Practically everyone here has
 enough to them through the winter and
 it is extremely doubtful if there will be
 of actual want here this year. There

 look for it now.
 Who it said business is on the bum?
 We have heard it said but don't believe it
 is now, do believe that it will be.
 All is brilliant future ahead of

 When a nice looking man is coming into the office the girls will pat their hair and powder their noses. Ii a pretty girl is announced the men will hustle into their coats and straighten their neckties. There isn't much difference between men and women when it comes to human nature.
 A girl likes to be told she is sweet and pretty, even if she knows it is not true But the girl who knows she is pretty without being told never is sweet.
 There is another good thing about buying the wife a nice, new washing machine instead of an automobile, ou do not have to worry all the time about whether she is getting killed or whether she is smashing up some body elses machine thhat will take all your cash to pay for the damages.
 The biggest questions are not found in the humorous columns, but are those the girls ask the old maids who write the "heart stuff" on the woman's pages.
 Why all this worry about where to park your machine? There is always plenty of room in front of the churches-and plenty of room inside to park you. We don't know who is to blame for this condition, the churches-or you.
 Of course trying to decide on a name for the baby has started many friendly scrap, but even in those homes where there is no baby man and his wife are never at a loss for something to scrap about.

It's Hobson's Choice With Him

c. H. Spencer, of Newark, has ta- ken a wallop at the old duffer, who, in his desire to add youthful tinge to his appearance dyes his mous- tache, but overlooks the gray thatch on his roof. He's probably afraid of getting the dye on the bald spots and, since he cannot wear short skirts, silk hose and low-neck dresses or smear couple of cans of paint on his face to make him look young CT the way dear old mother does, dyeing his moustache is the only chance he has of proving he is in his second childhood

though there are many perplex-
ing and vexatious problems con-
fronting the various peoples and
countries of Europe, l believe
that slowly and steadily an i'm
provement and a settling process
is going on and | am optimistic
as to the future.
Thus, | believe Poland will be
vibrant, strong nation teeming
with the consciousness of ma
tional life, and that is the impress
sion I got from my investigation
there. Czecho-Slovakia has
great future, is patterning many
of its institutions after our own,
and the progress and growth in
strength is apparent. The small
er nations of Esthonia, Iatvia
and Lithuania are striving hard
to realize a permanent nationality
and of these the Lithuanians have
in my judgment been most sue
cessful. Germany, Austria and
Hungary will slowly emerge and
get on their feet.
Everywhere one feels the graft
tude, encouragement and inspira
ton given to them by America
and everywhere they are grateful
to the American people.
1t cannot be emphasized too
much regarding the needs and
sufferings of the Jewish poor, in
Guiding thousands of refugees, as
we'll as the needs and sufferings
of non-Jews in the various coun-
tries | visited, especially in Po-
land. They all need help from
the outside, for they are all in a
sad plight, and that through no
fault of their own, but because
of the hurricane of the world war.
The help that comes from these
United States to these needy and
suffering people in various places
is efficiently, carefully, safely
and with certainty administered
and distributed among those in
need. The Americans at work on
the ground, as we'll as the people
from the various localities who
work with them or along similar
lines are most scrupulously and
conscientiously doing the work
which is saving the lives of large
masses. Those who give for re-
lief in this country can feel sure
that every cent helps to save lives
there.
1t should be borne in mind that
the people who are being helped
are not professional beggars or
tramps, they are not drones or
undeserving, they are worthy
men, women and children who
love their families and home,
they are God-loving and God
fearing people. They are not
guilty of bringing distress upon
themselves, but are the innocent

midst of the horrible hurricane of
the world war and it's aftermath.
These people are willing and
anxious and ready to work in or
der to provide for their families
and themselves, but many find
that impossible because of the
after war conditions. The people
of America must keep their hearts
open to the needs and cries of
these people in want, and must
give them help as the greatest
service to humanity and civiliza-
ton which starvation and desti-
tuition imperil.
AS far as the Polish Jewry is
concerned, | found that the con-
ditions are better than | expected
to find or than they, were por-
trayed to me-. i The same els. true
OF the 9Roumanian Jewry,> al
though there is great misery and
suffering in both these countries
which takes in masses of Jews
but which, however, is not pc
culiar to them, but includes also
masses of other creeds.
There are in those countries
still problems to be solved, and
in some instances the Jew still
suffers because he is a Jew, but
conditions have improved and the
outlook continues to be brighter
and brighter
One thing every American
should know above all and that
is that today there are hundreds
of thousands of Jews in Rou-
mania and in Poland who are
fugitives from White Russia and
Ukrainia, where intolerable con-
ditions caused them to seek shell
ter in these two countries.
The stay of the masses of Jew
ish refugees who find an asylum
in Roumania and Poland in the
very nature of things in those two
countries is only temporary. The
conditions under which they were
allowed to enter into those coun-
tries while fleeing from White
Russia and Ukrainia were that
their stay could only be temper
airy on account of the lack of
housing, lack of food, lack of in
dustries, lack of work or means
to work and because of the gen
eral after war conditions in those
countries.
Thus it was that we found hun
dreds of thousands of these Jew
ish refugees housed in miserable
novels and shelters, enduring un-
told suffering and hardships.
Human words cannot describe
the absolute restitution in which
these people exist and how they
suffer. AS you see the masses
of these unfortunate refugees, as
you witness their woe and de-
cpair &c Won coo them in raOS

issued on September 3. II was set forth
that workers OF both Europe and Amer

Hopkins. prominent in the Committee OF
Forty-eight. was quoted as saying that
the two men were convicted on tho
poorest sort Of evidence.
At the beginning OF the Sacco-Vanzetti
case there was an honest belief. held by
many. that the men had not had enough
legal help In their first trial Later
charges were made that the ''capitalists'
or Massachusetts were responsible for
manufactured evidence. After that has
come the hope OF the Amalgam1ted that
protests against the sentencing OF the
men viii be q gesture" far surprising
in magnitude any other Communist tp-
rising In history.
Ono OF the most active speakers FOR
the Sacco-vanzetti defence fund has
been Elizabeth G.. Flynn, labor agitator.
formerly known as the "Queen OF the
J. w. W." Miss Flynn made scores of
speeches in various parts OF the East
outlining the history OF the case and
pleading for funds. One Of her spceches
was delivered three months ago ut the

forum at the Church of the Ascension.
