No PHARISEES HERE!

The Pittsburg Baptist Ministers As
sociation has adopted a resolution which
brands rent profteers as modern Phari-
secs. and would bar them from member
ship in that denomination. The reso-
luton urges all Pittsburg ministers
To combat gouging landlords.
to take a prominent part in
community protests against
these wrongs. and to use the
influence Of their ministerial
associations to prevent new
burdens Of greedy extortion
being imposed upon the general
public.
Some persons are 50 constituted that
they cannot mix their religion with
their business. The doctrine Of the
golden rule has been superseded by the
admonition to get yours while the get

the minds of many persons the country

are not as keen eyed when it comes 10

has been sentenced to ten days in the
county Jail in Los Angeles for break
ing the speed laws. A jury Of hard
boiled men made this decision against
the petite and starry-eyed damsel who
has been the heroine of many a sex
thriller. Her smiles had little effect
on them.
When first arrested. the lively lady
admitted going at leisurely rate OF
55 miles an hour. and regarded the in
tervention of the law as a huge joke.
notwithstanding that she admitted her
guilt and that n just sentence was inn
posed upon her. we will predict that
her dainty body viii never grace

ure-or rather her manager is in
the film world.
Right here arise questions. Why is
it that. as 4 general rule. the man or
woman who has been accustomed to
money since childhood days. or who has
achieved wealth by working hard for
many years. rarely ever breaks the law
And why is it that the man or woman
who overnight has piled UP the eqmva-
lent Of a million beef steaks faunts the
law with impunity and generally laughs
at those whose duty it is to enforce the
statutes why should money give any
person the idea that he or she is above
all law?
Money is very needful article of
exchange A goodly surplus Of it IS tc
be desired by all right thinking oiti-
zens. The man who scorns wealth Is
either fool or a liar. and sometimes
both. Likewise the person who has
achieved a large amount Of money ans
who thinks the mere possession Of i
gives immunity from the ordinary
amenities OF citizenship, is still create
fool. Money alone has never made
man great. although many great mel
have been blessed with heavy purses

man who inherits money usually in
herits brains with it. And the man VIII
makes much money over a long perio'
Of years demonstrates that he POS
sesses brain power. These two classe
respect the law which protects thei
property. But the Coal Oil Johnnies
and their sisters who suddenly hay
wealth thrust upon them show thei

respect. for the law Of the land whic
shields them.

GLAZED hid AND DAME FORTUNE

The truism that the Lord helps those
who help themselves" holds good in
business matters as well as in private
affairs Dame Fortune rarely gives her
choicest gifts To men who sit on the |
roadside of progress and whine about |
hard times. But whenever the tickle |
lady sees a group of men combining to !
conquer her she generally gives in
with good grace. Sometimes she is
willing to go half way to help a few
hard workers achieve their desires.

lnlsizc the fact that certain Whining

thing else.
Rut in the future all men in viii
minEton are going to know about glazed
lld shoes-so say the men who are de-
tyrmined that the glazed kid industry
shan revive immediately Furthermore
they are going 10 let the whole world
know the merits Of such shoes-why
they are more comfortable than GER
tain others. why they wear longer. and
why they retain their good looks after
other shoes need trips to beauty par
lors.
