Do You Plead Guilty, or Not
Guilty?-2.
Grown up son follows hard in
fathers footsteps, and being at the
dressy age when the set of a collar Is
a matter of life and death, he thinks
nothing of running half dozen, that
mother will have to laundeF over
again, before he finds one to suit his
critical taste. Grown up daughter is
even worse, for she must have as
fluffy ruffles as the girl who gets her
finery from Paris, and mother must
not only produce them, but be
knocked because she hasn't the skill
Of a French modiste.
If there are old people in the fam
lily they have a thousand whims about
their food that must be catered to.
They must have separate dishes,
cooked in different ways from the
family meal. Often they insist on
having their food at strange and in
convenient hours and they demand,
as tribute to them, that they be
waited upon hand and foot, and that
somebody do for them the things they
are perfectly well able to do for
themselves. Yet they know there is
no one to do all this extra work but
one piteous, overburdened woman.
This is not an overdrawn picture of
average family life. It is your own
home, very likely, only you are so ac-
being slowly slain by those who ought
to protect her that you have never
noticed what a cruel thing you were
doing.
Therefore call your attention to
it, and ask you to start a reformation
in domestic conditions in your own
batliwick just as soon as you put
down this paper.
Nine-tenths of the work that wife
and mother has to do around the
house is unnecessary. She takes a
million steps day picking up things
that the family drop that they might
just as well not drop. IT'S no more
trouble to hang up clothes in a closet
than on the back of a chair. It's Just
as easy to put books and papers
where they belong as it is to leave
man who is too feeble to reach for
an ash tray has ne business smoking
It's just as much up to the family
to clean up the bath room after their
ablutionS as it is to mother to scour
the tub for the whole bunch of them,
and if every man would try to visu-
alize the ache in mothers back as she
bends over the wash tub, he would
find clean handkerchief by the
simple process of stirring the con-
tents of a drawer until one came TO
the top.
You remember the old copy book
precept: Wrong is wrought by want
of thought as well as want of heart"
That's the trouble with family life.
We don't think. But it's time we
thought about how we are killing
wife and mother by putting unnee-
essary work upon her. And it's high

toms. AS a national proposition the
row over it has just started. There
never was a time when the bootlegger
was considered as respectable as he is
today, or when so great a number OF
men of standing and prominence de-
rived a feeling of pride and pleasure
from defiance of the law. Character
izing them in incorporate language
is fuel on that fire.
You don't believe it2 An right,
Beany, you wait and see.
Just to reintroduce the personal
note and to indicate the manner in
which we rebound to the stings of ad-
versity and misfortune, We had a 27s-
yard drive on No. 10 Sunday after
noon.
And it may interest Warren to
know we did it with our little brassey.
In the offices of morning news
papers it is q hallowed custom among
those who Turk upon the payroll TO
lay off work and spend the day in
idle lettering. We shall now proceed
to observe that custom.
We see by the Sunday morning edi-
ton of the New York American.

panies. William B. Joyce, president of
the National Surety company, has
made public what he believes to be
the eleven principal causes Of the
present nationwide crime wave
Widespread disrespect for law, which,
he points out, is always an inevitable
consequence of war, is first on Presi-
dent Joyce's list. Enlarged opportu-
mites for crime, increased daring of
war-drafted criminals, high living
costs, lowered wages, unemployment,
a mistaken and ignorant discomfort

ministry; a Jaek-knife, cutting and
hacking its way thru life in ruthless
selfishness; and a lump of wax, taking
the impression of the last hand that
touched it. With startling candor he
added: Most of you, fear, are like
the wax: you will not mould condi-
tons, but conditions will mould you"
Saul was no bit of wax: he was a
force, an instrument, an individuality.
He perfectly illustrated the often-for-
gotten truth that before we can give
anything else to God or the world, we

know that existence is an endless
struggle to save our own soulS-our
true selves-from the social tendency

comfort, where would the world have

secution the embers were sent flying.
and new fires started all oyer the
known world. There Is no denying,
for example, that Bolshevism has had
it's greatest power because it was so
violently and nightly opposed: its
misguided enemies are really respon-
sible for much of the mischief it has
caused.
Saul was a stick to stir up the early
church. What a boon 1t would be if
real persecution could come to our
own SNUG and prosperous and COM
placent congregations! AS Xantippe.
according to an ingenious modern
l
der to incite Socrates into activity, so
it would be well il all our preachers
had more real critics and fewer empty
compliments; and if organized Chris
tianity had to face persistent, pene-
trating judgment by a censorious
world, which is doing real hurt by its
indifference. Saul served the church
even as a prosecutor; and, equally un-
realized at the time, the church served
Saul; for without this conflict and his
consequent conversion, he might have
become a mere doctrinaire rabbi, or
a safe" and sleek member of the
Sanhedrin.
Saul was somebody from the first

escape the Jesus Whom he prosecuted:

came together. The allegiance of this
splendid young man, so vigorous in the
service of whatever truth he knew
was deemed by Christ a prize worthy
| of His own temperance from the Sc

When youth unites with Jesus then
not only is youth made safe, but un-
measured good is laid up in store for
the nation and for the world. 1t was
worth while for Stephen to die in
order to lead Saul to the Saviour.

If the Fordney tariff bill shall pc
enacted into law we shall have little
use for the extension OF foreign credit
machinery which American bankers
are attempting to set up unless it be
planned to sell our goods cheaper in
foreign markets than at home. 1t is
notorious that this was done under
previous high tariffs American har-
vesting machinery was sold abroad at
a figure below that charged at home.
Sewing machines made in America
could be bought in Germany ami
shipped over here at a less price than
they could be bought at the factory.

factors enumerated. But one of the
main causes of the prevalence of
crime now and all other times is
overlooked by Mr.. Joyce and that is
the lax ana diiatory operation of the
courts. Punishment for crime to be
duly effective must be swift and GER
tain. 1t often has been noted that
there is much less crime in England
than in, this country and the differ
ence is attributed to the fact that the
wheels of justice turn more rapidly
and more surely over there.

THE BLAME DoDGERs.
CHAPTER 65


The other fellows in the way
When victory has crowned the day,
With him we do not fish to share
The splendor of the spotlight's glare;
We'd like to have it widely known
To us the praise belongs alone
But when defeat is ours to take,
Few have the courage not to make
The old excuse and place the blame
Upon the other fellows name.
Since first the fall of nsR took place,
This trait has married the human race.
The other fellow drops from sight
When everything is going right,
The plaudits and the round of cheers
Are not intended for his ears
But let us falteF, as we may,
And lose by careless work or play
Few have the courage then to own
The fault belongs to them alone.
The test Of man is not the way
He smiles or his victorious day,
It's how he stands to pay the cost
When he has made his fight and lost.
In failures hour he merits fame
Who does not seek to dodge the blame
Oh, boy of mine, whate'er you do,
Whate'er Of failure GENES to you,
Blame not the other man, but take
The censure Just for manheod's sake.

part of labor can be traced the exist

had dealt as fairly with employers as

Senator Hitchcock, Democrat. Of
Nebraska complains Of high taxes
But when a Democrat mentions high
taxes he is reminded by the opposi-
ton that his party is responsible for
the oppressive tax burden. OF course
the Democrats are to blame but call
ing attention to that fact does not
bring relief to the people. The voters
were so thoroly convinced of the
shortcomings of the Democrats that
they placed the Republican party in
power on it's promise to undo some of
the mischief wrought. Why does not
the Republican congress do it instead
of frittering away its time on tariff
legislation? Men and women who
went to the polls last November, with
a few possible exceptions, had no
thought of tariff legislation. They
wanted relief from war burdens and
government meddling in business.
