person the "healer" sees Is told to

It is easiest of all to feel sorry for

would have been big success II you
hadn't met with so much injustice and
bad treatment.
But that will get you only unhap-

hour In life who managed to turn
about. pull themselves together and
snatch themselves from precarious
positions, but the numbers were
small, for their strokes were light
and their old habits were strong and
hard to break.
They lacked the staying power and
the flexibility of youth.
So has wagged the world and so it
will ever wag until the crack of doom.
II you wish to pick success, plant
your orchard while in the full vigor
of life so that you may gather the
fruit and enjoy 1t while your senses
Of appreciation are still keen and
your faculties yet alert.
Make friends, but do your own dig
ging, your own pruning and your own
watering. If your friends scoff at your
industry, dig all the harder, think
harder and keep at your work in heat
and cold.
Seek the counsel Of those who came
here before you, your father and
mother, for they know where your
feet are likely to slip and your judg-
ment is liable to err.
Do these things without turning
| either to the right or the left and
nothing save death can stop you in
the ultimate realization Of your fond
est dreams, and the fine achievements

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PEcUNiARY"

IF, AFTER being promised a
"pecuniary reward" for the
performance of a certain serv-
ice, a person were to receive
sheep, he would probably feel
that he had been deceived or
that the one who had made the
promise had gone back on his
word. But, in Its primary
meaning, 'pecuniary" means
relating to Sheep" being taken
verbatim from the Latin pecunia
which, in turn, Is derived from
pecus, sheep.
The transformation grew ont
Of the custom Of the Romans of
measuring u mans wealth by
the number Of sheep which
grazed over his pastures. A
"man of many sheep" was the
equivalent of a wealthy citizen.
for sheep were valuable not only
for their wool but also as an
article Of diet. Gradually, the
root-word pecus was heightened
to pecunia, the equivalent Of
money" or worldly possess
sions," and its pastoral origin
was almost completely obscured
when transplanted into English.
Should a restaurant, therefore,
advertise a ''pecuniary stew" 1t
would not necessarily mean that
dollar bills and gold pieces ap-
pear In the dish. but 1t would
merely be an etymologically al
lowable synonym for tAe old
standby, mutton stew"

amazing, startling and portentous phe-

colleagues listened in rapt attention.
zone Of the causes" he continued, "ur
doubtedly is the character of the legisla
ton passed during the last eight or nine
years by the Congress Of the United
States, the methods employed for its en-
actment, and a consequent loss OF respect
by the people for these laws and for all
law, and the holding OF Congress in con-
tempt rather than in esteem and rever-
ence.
During these years the people have
seen the Congress of the United States
controlled neither by principle, courage
nor unselfsh devotion to the public veal,
but surrendering itself and it's power for
the making Of laws subsequently and
docilely to the will of others and acting
the demagogue for selfish purposes as
never before.
1.-THE people have seen an abJect and
obedient Congress pass laws OF profound
Importance dictated to It by literally
financed and highly organized minorities
outside Of Congress, sometimes for purely
economic ends Of the mlnorities, some
times sumptuary laws from sectarIan
sources, sometimes laws dictated by
'blocs' or minorities within Congress It
self for purely selfish purposes or pur-
poses purely Of reprisal.
Laws passed by such Congresses and
under these conditions cannot help lessen
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1922-03-25

and CRIME Of industry; clean, neat parks
with flowers, wherein nursemaids wheel
the babies OF fortune.
Yet there is another and more sinister
side to Washington, held up before the
startled gaze OF self satisfied Congress
men the other day by Representative
George Holden Tinkham OF Massschu-
sets.
He revealed. among other things that
the national capital of the United States,
with a population Of some 10000, has
twice the number OF capital crimes, such
as murder, annually that London has
with q population Of nearly 100000 He
revealed that crime and lawlessness in
the District Of Columbia are rampant
under the nose Of a complacent Con-
gress which makes the laws.
ASTOUNDING CRIME
GROWTH IS SHOWN.
Startling statistics were presented By
the Massachusetts, Representative to show
the astounding growth of crime in what
should be the best-ordered and most
law-abiding city In the country. Some
classes OF crime have increased as much
as GEO per cent in the last decade, and
only in four classes has there been
reduction noticed. These are simple as
sault, simple larceny, house breaking ana
rape.
Statistics" said Representative Tink-
ham, "show there are more than twice
the number of murders in Washington
than in London. and the District Of Co
lumbia has the greatest per capita muir
der record Of any city IN the world. not
even excepting New York and Chicago"
And this is true, the Massachusetts
Representative emphasized, despite the
fact that the United States is dry"
while other nations OF the world still
cling to laws aimed at temperance in
stead OF prohibition.
Scotland, with g population three times
as great as the District OF Columbia land
incidentally, the home Of a famous bever-
age), has from 200 to 300 per cent less
murders than Washington.
What is the answer?
"Congress!" answers Representative
Tinkham.
MANY causes can be assigned for these
