BABE RuTH,s LESSON

The fame of Babe Ruth suffered a reverse gently He essayed to play basketball and, accord ing to newspaper dispatches he played so poorly that those who applaud stayed to jeer, so that Babe was taken out of the game Such is the faithlessness of the tickle goddess popularity
 As the duchess said Alice in Wonderland, There is moral in everything if you only can find it' And the obvious moral in Babes is that a man can serve himself best by sticking the job knows best how to do.
 The reason for much of the failure observe in human life is that too many wrongly placed. A good bricklayer often is lost in poor lawyer. doubtless there poor briczlayers who would make better lawyers.
 Round pegs in square holes and square pegs in round holes! Human happiness would be beneficialy served If all the mslaced pegs be so shaken up that the round ones would fall into their proper places and the square into theirs
 The best thing that happen to some men is to be fired that perforce they go forth and find the job best suited to their capabilities Many men never find themselves. Others. properly placed are mised by vanity and dscontent reach beyond their depth.

The Public Dollar

There are three kinds of dollars your dollar, the other fellows dollar, and the public dollar. You manage your dollar, the other fellow watches his pretty closely too but nobody, it seems pays much attention the public dollar.
 Oh yes; there are offceholders elected to manage tho public dollar, but a close examination of what taxpayers get for the public dollar shows 1t is poorly managed than the spendthrifts dollar. Indeed one is persuaded that the public dollar is the spendthrft's dollar. But not in every city.
 Take, for example Birmingham, Ala which has just published reports of its third year under the commission form of government Before Brming- ham entered upon the commission -businessliNe form of government it's public dollars were poorly managed They bought less than other dollars.

The ons-pay.Rest Bill

As a result of the Sunday closing campaign now being made there will probably be no Sunday observ- legislation in addition to that which we already have. The advocates of the day rest in bill quite ingenious and the members of the legislature suspect as much. The proponents dis claim religious motive and in proof of some of them convict themselves by pointing out that the bl does insist that Sunday shall be observed by those whose religion directs some other day. Thus we have the bill before us fixing day some day, to be religiously observed.
 Personally we believe in Sabbath observance. We believe that the community and the whole coun- try would be better morally if the observance was more general that 1t would be better if our ob- of 1t inspired by the sacre.+ character of the day We believe it would be better for all of us if more people belonged to churches and at tended them.
 But we cannot compel people to join churches or attend them to participate in any religious rite and the setting apart of any day as sacred day is religious rite or ceremony
 The proponents say that they are concerned only in procuring rest for those who will not otherwise take it. one of them told the legislators that there people in the insane asylums from nces- sant overwork than from any other cause. The legis lators likely to accept that statement as ing foundation of fact, they likely to be- lieve that too much work is being done in this world or that there is very much work being done Sun days and holidays beyond that which is necessary to do. Such work Is permitted by the bill itself.
 There are certain employments though that would be prohibited-employment of persons who contribute to the entertainment of others these empoyments doubt in the law should be enacted would be brought under the head of labor
 The most we can properly do in the way of Sab bath observance legislation is to that the Sab hat is apod of the people who believe it to be sacred day, and most of us in some degree hold it to be that. All offenses against the public any considerable part of the public are forbidden by law.
 But do not think that we can properly pro- scribe Sunday or any other day as period of rest or recreation or enjoyment of which one may par take in lawful and orderly manner
