He Never Blamed the Booze.

He took a bottle up to bed,
Drank whiskey hot all night;
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But he could never get tight,
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until he took bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His Joints were full ef rheumatism,
His appetite was slack.
He had pains between his shoulders,
Chills ran down his back;
He suffered VITA insomnia,
At night hs couldn't snooze,
He said it was the climate
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down.,
At least that's what he said,
His legs were swelled each morning,
And he otter had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whiskey,
And if it didn't fuse
He blamed it to dyspepsia
But he rever blamed the booze:
He said he couldn't sleep at night,
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake
Till carly sunlight beams.
He thought it was malaria,
And twas but q ruse;
He blamed it onto everything
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping,
And his Kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots Of bitters
Till at last he cleaned them out.
His legs were swelled with dropsy,
Till he had to cut his shoes,
He blamed it to the Doctor
But he never blamed the booze.
His clothes were getting seedy,
His nose was getting red,
His children always hungry,
HimSef not too well FED;
His family he neglected,
His wife he did abuse;
He blamed all her relations
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he had the treEens,
And he tackled rats and snakes;
First he hid the fever,
Then he had the shakes;
At last he had q funeral,
And the mourners had the blues,
And the epitaph served for him was
"He never Blamed the booze"

"Be it enacted by the City Council
of Some City that it shall hereafter
be nisdemeanor, punishable by fine
and Imprisonment, fer any man, wom-
an or child to have fever"
If any city council did pass such an
ordinance, the country would laugh
Forbidding symptoms and leaving the
cause untouched would be considered
foolish to the point of insanity.
Yet what shall be said of the action
of a southern city council which has
passed an ordinance barring "jazz'
from the stage, public dances, and
perhaps from all homes?
II reports can be believed. the au-
thorities are now somewhat puzzled
to know where ordinary music leaves
off and jazz begins. Is jazz caused by
cymbals and drums? Wagnerian
music would come under the ban. Is
it caused by piccolo notes, high and
shrill? Church organs would be
heavy offenders! Is it jazz when q
saxophone means? Never band in
the country that hasn't a saxophone
choir among it Instrumentation!
However, what is and what is not
jazz may be determined by some
ukase; the question is not. so much
what is decided to be jazz and there
fore prohibited, but why prohibit the
symptom and leave the cause un-
touched?
This particular instance will prob
ably afford more amusement thar
anything else, and the chorus OF fur
poked at this city council by the daily
press is already swelling. But consid'
cred as a symptom, such action may
we'll cause serious thought; Americs
is founded on law, order, and respect
for government, on freedom Of
thought, religion and action so long as
we interfere not with our neighbor's
rights.

WASHINGTON COMMENT.

Can a government interfere with
the law of supply and demand by
legal enactment end "get away with
it,"
The question is to be answered by
experience. The United States gov
ernment, acting as city council for
the capital city, has extended the
Ball Act, by which rents are regulated
and the relations of tenant and land
lord fixed by law for a further period
Of two years. Originally enacted as
6 war measure to prevent profiteer-
irg in Washington rental property
curing the period when enormous de-
rnand sent rents skyward, the act is
now to be continued as an experiment
in peace time regulation of CONNER
cial relations.
The individual renter is not as jubi-
liant over the passage of the act as
might be expected. Real estate men
are frankly pessimistic over legisla-
ton which, they say, prevents invest
ment in new rental properties. Those
rot actively interested either as rent
ers or as landlords look with some
what dubious eyes upon the law, the
equity of which is continually called
in question.
If the government can fix "fair
rental" for property and forbid one
to ask and another to pay higher
amount, what can be urged against the
government also fixing what is fair
price" for coal, or a "fair wage" for
a days work? In what, fundament-
ally, does the difference consist be-
tween the price at which a dwelling
may be rented, the price at which it
may be sold, the price at which it
may be built, the price at which it
may be heated or lighted?
In time of war any legislation which
furthers a nations cause is justified.
In time of peace it is at least a ques-
ton whether legislation regulating
any class of people or property or
thing may not hold more potentiality
for harm, in its undermining of
United States principles, than of good
in the temporary relief it affords.
Washington's experiment will be eag-
erly, if anxiously, watched by the
whole country.

JEWS DID NOT KILL JESUS.
Says Episcopal Preacher in Easter
Sermon at Kinston, n. c.

The Jewish race is Christianity's
creditor. The Jews as people did
Lot cruelty Christ-the charge is un-
founded. The wandering race has
aided greatly ir the progress of the
world in spite Of every obstacle
thrown in its path by prejudice and
unfair accusations. American insti-
tutions of the higher arts are in
debted to the Jewish people for their
very existence.
In Holy Week sermon followed
by special prayer for the Jewish
reople, Rev. Francis Coffin, rector
Of St. Mary's Episcopal church, at
Kinston, N. C. tcld his congregation
they needed to know better the inner
life of the scattered nation before they
judged its people A sect in the Holy
Land made Christ its victim; he was
so popular with the masses his accus-
crs feared the people would rise up
and deliver him, declared the clergy
man.
The Jews Of Christ's time were
the leaders of the world spiritually
snd morally, heads and shoulders
above the material powers of the era,
Mr.. Coffin said. "Who were the
early Christian martyrs of whom we
have been novel to say, These in
oeed were Christians'-who in hun
dreds suffered the tortures inflicted
by the pagan people who made them
captives? They were. in the great
majority of cases, Jews" The clergy
man dwelt at length upon the vir-
tues of the Jewish people and insist
ed that his parishioners not use the
word "Jew" in any derogatory sense.
He paid tribute to the integrity Of
Jews as a race and IS individuals.
Certain great institutions Of. music
snd art, the greatest in America,
would collapse were Jewish support
Withdrawn, he asserted. He detailed
the diplomatic successes Of Jewish
statesman in the golden days OF
Europe. At one time in the last
century nearly every important Eu-
ropean power had Jewish premier,
he stated. Several great Jewish
prime ministers directed the worlds
affairs of state simultaneously. He
related the successes of Jews in many
lines. One of the most successful
of Episcopal missionary bishops was
Jew, he said.
The rector urged his hearers to
remember that Christ, whose last
Gays they were to commemorate dur
ing the week, was a Jew possessed
If great affection for his people.
While the few demanded the Savior's
life, he said, the multitudes acclaimed
him. The Jewish people through the
centuries have manifested great
tolerance for Christian ethics that,
he pointed out, had not been recipro-
Gated. There was not Jewish per-
son in the congregation when Mr..
Coffin spoke.

and then in a few lnutes his
brother told him the bread had rat
poison on It. The man died with
froth on his lips God mover bother
ed him any more, said Mr.. James.
The speaker told OF a pathetic
incident that happened at Keyser.
A boy went TO the church and
stood In the door for while, then
left the building. Soon no came
back and knelt at the altar. When
he went homo he told his mother,
and she was very pleased. The
next morning the boy took his din
ner pail and started to work. lie
kissed his mothe., started, then
came back and kissed her again.
He said he felt better than he had
ever felt before. He kissed her
again and went to work. On the
railroad tracks nearby he was hill
ed by an engine, said Rev. James.
"That boy had found Jesus"
He told OF man in Bellvlew,
o., who would not give himself
up TO God. One night the man
left the meeting and rode to his
barn on horse that had been
newly shod. The shoes were very
sharp. When the man took the
bride off, the horse, in a playful
mood, darted for the stall running
over tho man. When they found
him the next morning his brains
were crushed out of his head.
"Where was that man then?" he
asked.
"At a union revival in Ohio"
said Mr.. James. 1.-TWO men refused
to give themselves 10 God. They
stood at tho dor and said they
would find a way. and not to wor-
ry about them. One man was
engaged in some kind of speak
easy, and no matter how hard we
tried we could not bring him in.
Just a few days afterward, the
men were killed in an automobile

This is Gods harvest he de-
clared. "You may say no. Watch

At teas and balls. In dancing halls,

l have my riding stables and
My autos-closed OF course,
And when I'm tired of motoring
l jog out on my horse.
Twixt golf and bridge, my time is

For l must have my game;
l live a life of little care
Yes, Blue Blood is my name!
rise at six each weekday morn
And start the business wheels
On turns Of real prosperity
That all the country feels.
I have my hands, have my head,
use my brain and Drawn,
And l will stu be using them
When idle hands have gone.
Twixt work and home live a life
That keeps my mind In frame.
