ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The way that Pierre de Pierrot, the
French poodle, turned up the light in
the cave was most interesting, and
Nancy and Nick looked on in amaze
ment.
All he did was to say, "Will- O. the
wisps, come out!" And instantly a
dozen or so little balls of light APP

walls and ceiling and floor became
great, cleaning masses of clear, deep
red.
"Oh!" gasped Nancy. How beauti-
ful!'

rather off-hand. Ruby all Of it, Be-

''Yes!"
Then followed such laundering
that the earth shook. Nancy grabbed
Nick in alarm, and the green bulifrog

Golden Door with them when they en-

And she inquired, Dost thou not love
me? And he answered, Yea.
And she said, Am not thy Favour
ite? And Mohammed looked around
to be sure that none of his other wives
were listening in, and he answered,
Yea.
And she inquired yet further. Dost
thou not love me more than thou low
est any of thine other wives?
And again he looked around, and he
answered, softly, Yea.
And If Ayesha had been wise she
would have stopped there. But there
was one question which she wanted to
ask more than all, and she made the
mistake of asking it.
And she said, o. Mohammed, thou
great and noble man, dost thou not
love me more than thou didst love
Kadijah? For she grew old and had
wrinkles and gray hair, and I am
young and fair?
And Mohammed answered with a
Great Oath, and he said,
Nay, by Allah! For she it was who
first believed in me!
And I said unto Keturah, Though all
the fair women in the world were
placed in line, and I were led admir-
ing down the length of it, yet would
I find no one among them all who
could create for me the memories of
our struggles and anxieties and econo-
mics and our meager triumphs and
our sweet and holy joys. Thou in thy
New Blue Last Worn Dress art unto
thy husband the fairest among women.
And Keturah said nothing, but she
found my hand as we walked away
together, and she gave it little
squeeze. William e. Barton.

Serious Dangers Before the American
Ship of State.


To the Editor:
One of the greatest evils of our
times is the growing demand for re-
ligious legislation. This demand on
the part of religious organizations is
becoming more and more inaistent,
and in some instances the civil author
tiles are yielding to it. The founda-
ton pillars OF civil and religious lib
erty are being thus assailed by their
most relentless foes.
Religious organizations that are
clanaoring for governmental recognf-
ton of their peculiar dogmas, are set
ting their sails to catch every wind
that blows. But they are working in
the dark, under cover, camouflaging
their real motives. They are adopting
the U-boat method In attacking the
Ship of State.
Civil liberty and religious liberty
stand or fall together. No nation can
long maintain one without the other.
They are the two compliments which
make the proposition complete. While
we are striving to make the world
safe for political democracy, we must
not forget to save the world from re-
ligious autocracy. A religious tyran
ny of the majority, confederated for
the purpose of controlling political in.
situations and expressing the minority
is not whit better than religious
autocracy of a few which menace the
rights of the majority.
Alliances of religion and politics are
wrong in principle, and always dan
gerous to the cause of civil and re-
ligious liberty. The results of such a
combination can only be religious and
civil despotisn. A union of religion
with the civil government is incom-
patible with the teachings of the New
Testament. The medieval custom of
uniting the church and the state in
so-called Christian nations, is not an
outgrowth of true Christian principles,
but is a practice borrowed from Pagan
nations, whose prevailing religions
were always fostered by, or perhaps
We would better say, Identified with
the civil government
The present tendency toward at
tempting to make people righteous and
religious through the establishment Of
religious dogmas by civil authority is
a danger signal at which we should
take alarm. Sunday laws and univer-
sal compulsory Sunday Observance
are an entering wedge, opening the
gates for a flood of religious legfsla-
ton to follow In its wake. It is high
time that strong voice of protest be
raised against ecclesiastical encroach-
ments upon our free institutions. and
the conscience Of the individual. A
complete enforcement of the church
from the state is in harmony with
Christ's teachings, and is the only
sure basis Of domestic and religious
freedom. Let us keep the church and
state eternally separate. that truth.
Justice, and liberty may prevail, and
that tranquility and happiness may
be promoted and more firmly estab-
ltshed
Vehy sincerely yours

Defense of the MAYOR.

Defense of the Mayor.
In regard to city matters last week
in which the mayor was criticised for
placing O plain clothes man on the
police force without the approval of
the city council we wish to make clear
the statement that the mayor did not
at any time desire to oyersten his
rights and cites US to the fact that he
told the council of mis- Intentions which
seemingly met with their approval but
Of which no official record was made
for the simple reason 1t was merely a
suggestion. The law governing the
duties OF the mayor in part state that
he shall place before the council in
writing names of those whom he de-
sires to appoint and his reasons for
such appointment. In view of the fact
that the mayor has imposed a number
Of fines and placed in the city treas
ury quite sum of money from which
he has drawn a very small warrant for
extra service to investigate certain
matters that have been reported to
him as needing investigation from
outside sources we think the matter
can be overlooked this time with a
more thorough knowledge of the duties
OF the city office holders in the future

PRESS COMMENT
The Cost of the Court House.

1t is stated that several contractors
will bid upon the rebuilding OF the
court house at Panama City. As the
matter stands now there is but little
or no information obtainable as to
what this building is going to cost.
The taxpayers are still paying taxes
to take up the warrants issued TO build
the court house that was burned. It
is stated that it cost SLOT 600, which
probably includes the furnishing.
That court house cost the taxpayers
some s30.o00-odd more than it would
had the county had the cash to build
ii. They now have only the $4,000 in
surance money to build and furnish
another. What is 1t going to cost the
taxpayers, is what they want to know.
With our large taxpayers paying
but a portion of the taxes they should,
the burden Is going to be harder on
the common people, the small prop
erty owner. They are largely in the
majority, but the corporations control
the taxes through their voting power.
1t viii be advisable for the masses
to watch this court house deal There
are many chances to waste money, for
the grafters to get in their work. Only
by eternal vigilance and untiring
watchfulness can this be avoided. It
is time to watch our public business
closely. Will you do your share OF
this work ?--St. Andrews Bay News.

Our Share Of Rsparation.

When the United States entered the
war it was thoroughly understood that
the American people expected nothing
from it in the way of territory, COM
mercial privilege or indemnity. The
principles announced then have been
adhered to. Nevertheless, while the
world is discussing the reparation set
Element desired by the allies, it is just
as well to keep in mind the fact that
the United States has a big stake in
that settlement.
It is admitted that the rehabilitation
of European credit and industry de-
ponds on this crucial matter of Ger
man reparation. If it is made Ger
tain that Germany will pay the allies
any considerable indemnity, and will
start the payments promptly and keep
them up regularly, the allies will soon
get on their feet. And as they get on
their feet they can pay what they owe
to the United States. Otherwise the
repayment of $4,000, 900, 900 advanced
to them during the war is problemat
ical"
What it amounts to is that if Ger
many can be induced to assume a bur
den of $4,000, 900, 900, which is the
cash value OF the SIS, 900, 000, 900 in an
nuities demanded by the allies, the
United States win get about half of it.
There is a growing impression that
Germany could do that If the pro-
posed IL per cent tax on her EXPORTS
were omitted.

Germany's indemnity should be made

Asset to Every City.
Florida cities which have been pro-
gressive enough to recognize the wis
dom and importance of providing
proper camping facilities for motor
tourists have accomplished much in
the direction of winning real boosters
for Florida during the present tourist
season. In this respect Jacksonville
was one of the leaders. Most all towns
and cities in the state along the line
of motor tourist travel. however large
or small, quickly recognized the ad-
vantages of setting aside well provid-
ed, sanitary camps at which tourists
travelling by automobile might spend
the night or any number of days
without expense to them.
Jacksonyille's motor camp for tour
lists Is near the state fair grounds. 1t
facilities and good water. For large
numbers of motor parties reaching the
state it has been a real advantage.
Starting with Jacksonville and pro-
ceeding on down the state. one may
see such camps, though ordinarily less
pretentious, at practically every pos
sible stop Next year we may expect
to see this policy considerably en-
larged. To do so means only the en-
couragement Of greater motor travel to
Florida, and tourists who are pleased
at the facilities provided them this
season may expect to return next sea-

start.-Florida Metropolis.
