Vernon Ross Scoggin

Youngest son of VIM. Luther and
Rosa Bruett Scoggin, glided peaceful
ly out of our yearning and loving
arms into the glory of the Light of
Heaven and left our hearts crushed
and aching withloneliness and grief on
Tuesday, October II, 1921, at4:45 A. M.
He was born May 10, 1918, and his
sweet little mission on this earth was
to link our lives with eternal things
in Heaven.
We know that he is safe there and
that>by Gods grace we can see him
again.
The purity and sweetness of his lit
tie life and the passing of his precious
soul into glory where Jesus reigns
has turned our hearts more fully to-
ward the heaven that we hope for,
imbuing them with the Christ spirit
which alone can lift the world to a
higher level.
Jesus loved him and has taken him
home; Jesus loved us in that he per-
mitted us to have and love him and
by his little life and death drew us
closer to the Friend that has always
comforted.
To us so much wit and poetry and
sweetness were enshrined in his little
body that we consigned so tenderly
away from our yearning arms and
loving hearts into a little grave of
dirt.
Only those who can and have loved
a perfect child can realize with what
smiling glances of love and pride we
watched him when each evening at
sunset bis little feet ran down to meet
"Papa" and carry his dinner pail into
the house, because, as he said: "papa
was too tired after working hard all
day to carry the dinner bucket" We
knew he carried it for the childish
pleasure of finding what was left in
the pail, and he never knew that each
morning an extra bit was tucked in
the pail for him. Remembering our
own childhood days it gave us pleasure
to watch his childish search and wit
ness his delight at finding something
good.
Now, it seems, we have but mem
ories and we miss him 80 and his play
haunts, and the whole place seems SO
still; then the comforter seems to
whisper, ~ will send comforter
and II am the way, the truth, the
Iife," and our bowed hearts respond
to the. sorrows and joys of the way OF
the Cross and with mute resignation
our hearts feel:
"Thy will be done.D

THE w. @. T. U. of Milwaukee,
Wis, requested the district attorney
of that city to enforce all the Sunday
laws. District Attorney Winfred G,
label replied: "Milwaukee would be
a graveyard on Sunday if the de-
mands of the W. @. T. U. were grant
ed. There would be no need for new
legislation" o, it's beginning to
show its hand, is pious fanaticism
within the w. 9. T. IT,, whose chief
tenet is 'prohibition." Succeeding
in downing Gin fancy Old John Bar
leycorn, they are now reaching out to
matters spiritual in other sense.
Taking them by and large, l love and
admire the good sisters; but they are
guilty of one lapse l cannot overlook
or approve: they call themselves the
"Women's Christian Temperance
Union" That is gross misnomer.
That body does not advocate temper
ance and it is not Christian, if we
take the teaching of the Master into
the account. Mahomet preac he'd pro-
hibition in the matter of wine; Christ
never did.

Where He Put Nickel,

1t was Sunday and Donald went to
church for the first time with his
mother. On arriving home from church
his father asked him what he did

VERY likely the big strike will not
eventuate. Strong as they are in just
effort, the Unions are learning that
there is greater power that must be
consulted-the public, which in the
end foots all the bills and must be
righteously served.

To enable the railroads to compete
with water carriage of freight the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
given them power to charge higher
rates to intermediate points than
from ocean to ocean. The people of
the extreme eastern and western Sec
tions are thus favored at the expense
of those living in the interior. That
may be all right, but it doesn't ap-
peal to ones sense of justice. In
illustration few instances are here
given, as set out in the press reports
Of Congressional proceedings:
Under the tariffs established by the
commission the rate on 100 pounds of
apples from San Francisco to Boston
is rs cents. while the rate from San
Francisco to Kansas City, a little over
half the distance, is $1.86.
The rate on 100 pounds of fresh
fruits from San Francisco to Boston
is $l.25, as compared with $2.08 from
San Francisco to Kansas City.
The rate on canned fish and fruits
from Seattle to Boston is 65 cents,
and from Seattle to Kansas City 81 20.
Similar discrepancies exist in the
rates on the manufactured articles
that the East and Central West send
to the coast in exchange for its fish
and fruits. Agricultural implements
can be shipped from Boston to Seat
tie for $1.7O hundred pounds, while
the rate from Kansas City to Seattle
is S2.38.
Paint is carried from Boston to
Seattle at 81 hundred pounds, while
the shipper from Kansas City to Seat
tie must pay $1.42. The transcon-
tinental machinery tariff Ii ~, while

ROYALTY in Europe dies hard. The

Mr.. Gibney had abdicated as a pi-
rate and assumed command of the 8.

scant breakfast upon him, however,
Captain Scraggs was still harsh and
bitter.
"Git out o my pilot house an aft

screeched. Don't you give no orders

Mr.. Gibney saw BY the hopeful, even
cunning, look that leaped to Scraggs
eyes that the problem was about to b
solved without recourse to the Gibney
imagination. 50 he resolved to be alert
and not permit himself to be caught
out on the end Of a limb. "Well

They took hitch In their belts and
started. From the point at which they
left the trolley to their journeys end
was stiff six-hour jaunt, up hill and
down dale, and long before the march
was half completed the unaccustomed
exercise had developed sundry gals
and blisters on the Gibney heels, while
the soles Of poor McGuney's feet were
so hot he voiced the apprehension that
they might burn to crisp at any mo-
ment and drop of by the wayside.
The crew Of the Maggie had ceased
working cargo for the day and Cap
tain Scraggs was busy cooking supper
In the galley when the two prodigals
exhausted, crippled and repentant,
came to the door and coughed propi-
tiously, but Captain Scraggs pretended
not to hear, and went on with his task
