FIRST AID TO BoRAH

An American Legion post in Idaho
has rendered first aid to Senator
Borah. Just as the impression was be-
coming quite general that Borahs
mental attitude toward team work in
Congress is much like that Of the
traditional "off OK" moro engrossed in
hanging off than in drawing a straight
furrdw, this Legion post threatens
Borah with political extinction unless
he shall vote for the bonus.
Verify, Heaven sent" aid to
one who was fast relapsing into a
bore. He is quick to seize upon the
golden opportunity and his answer
merits and will receive applause even
among those who favor the bonus, for
it is the right Kind Of gospel, Of which
there is a conspicuous lack.
THE most Shiny creature which
disgraces American politics is the
man who buys office by paying for it
out of the public treasury and charges
his venal obligations to the tax
payers"
Now that sounds good in the ears
Of many of the voters, some of whom
long ago made up their minds to ap-
prove Nle payment Of a bonus. They
don't like the sound of "orders" bv
whomever given to anyone conscien-
tiously striving to do his duty, and
this makes 1t look as though that
were what Borah is trying to do in
! this instance. Surely it gives him a
chance to deepen that impression.
which he emphatical,y does in these
words:
Il have taken this position after
great consideration and with much
| reluctance. l understood perfectly the
criticism it would bring and the con-
domination it would invite. l would
not, under such circumstances. have
adopted such a course had l not felt
1t was righteous one. cannot
change it."
Are the voters of Idaho to rise IN
and smite him for sticking to his
text? We think better of them than
to suppose they will do so.

Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t

When you wash your chlds hair he
careful what YOU use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which is very injurious. as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use IS MuIsifed
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely .greascless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of MuIsi-
fed in cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required.
Simply. moisten the hair with water.
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich. creamy lather. cleanses thor
oughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and IL
soft, fresh looking. bright fluffy wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. ii loos-
ems and takes out every particle of
dust. dirt and dandruff You can get
Mulsified at any drug store and a few
ounces will last everyone in the fam
lily for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.--Adv.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Here are two incidents. one almost
farcical and yet inimical, the other
commemorative of an event Of in
estimable influence for the good of
this country; a comparison between
them is hardly in accord with the
dignity OF the latter, but may be
useful. nevertheless. The first re-
fers to masked representatives of
the KuKlux presenting a sum of
money to a clergyman, with written
assurances that the order would in
terfere with no good person or en-
terprise. OF course it must be I'M
derstood that the masked members
of this order in secret council are
to be the ones to determine who and
what are worthy or unworthy, in all
Of which performance there is men,
ace to religious liberty, or any other
liberty, for that matter.
The other incident referred to is
the address of Secretary Hughes de-
livered at the laying of the corner
stone Of the National Baptist Memo
rial to Roger Williams in Washing
ton. In course of this he said:
This memorial is at once trib-
ute and pledge. 1t is a tribute in
this capital where the services and
ideals of those who founded and pre-
served the Union are fittingly me-
morialized to one of their greatest
forerunners, to the pioneer who first
in America erected the standard of
religious liberty. 1t is a pledge that
his principle shall be held inviolate.
THE conception of religious lib
erty is SO familiar to us that we find
it difficult to realize that it is not a
natural one; that it is one of the late
fruits of political experience. and
that when first declared, it was
deemed of all doctrines the most per-
nicious and dangerous. 1t is distinc-
lively an American doctrine, for here
the principle first found effective ex-
preston in governmental institu-
tons.
ITO the Anabaptsts. the most
scorned of sects, belongs the imper-
ishable honor of declaring the fun
damental doctrine that the rulers of
states should not intervene in affairs
of conscience and that civil diSabil-
ity should not be predicated upon
religious belief. -"
THE right to religious liberty has
become a truism, and we are so IA
miliar with this conception that we
are likely to forget at what cost free
dom of conscience has been won and
also the danger to which we are con-
stantly exposed OF recrudcscence OF
bigotry. The hardest lesson man.
kind has had to learn is that the re-
ligious truth which is held to be most
precious cannot prosper by attempts
forcibly to impose it on others.
Strong convictions. especially relg-
ious convictions. are apt to develop
tyrannical purpose and no faith is
so pure but that it is ever in danger
of being made the instrument of the
mistaken zeal of those who would
deny to others the right to think as
they choose.
This is a priceless legacy to Amer
leans. ANY influence destructive of
this is in effect, reasonable.

Nancy Langhorne Astor, of the
British Peerage and the House of
Commons, it is a pleasure to have
YOU on this side of the Atlantic. We
have been hearing a lot about YOU
We like a good deal of what you have
to say about the need for common
sense in the world. If you have
brought a goodly consignment with
you, your welcome will be SO much
the warmer There is not any too
much common sense on this side of
the water.
You seem most capable, fortnight
and altogether refreshing sort of a
person. You bring no ghosts" in
your luggage, you have no message"
and are without mission ito come
over into Macedonia and help US"
Honestly, 1t is relief to know that
you are not Gust another one of those
lecturers" who want to uplift us, or
enilghtcn us, or do things to our
habits or our menta1ities.
You are a member Of the House Of
Commons, yes of "the Mother Of
Parliaments," but that does not i'm
press us very much. You see, VIC have
mad our own Congresswomen There
was a girl from Nevada awhile back
and Aunt Alice" Robertson is now IN
the House. We are not greatly fused
about your being an m. p" or that
YOU are Lady Astor, but it Goes sort
OF warm our hearts to find that Won
are still almost outrageously good
looking and that YOU are even moro
charming than You were when Won
were little Nancy Ianghorne and
went a-riding down the Virginia
lanes.
we are not concerned much about

nut we refuse to take the title sori-
ouslY. After all, you are that LITTLE
NancE Ianghorne from down in Viz
gina who married one Of the Aston
noys and moved away to, England
to live.
And, Nancy Lanchorne Aston don't
let them make too much of a fuss over
YOU. They will do that If YOU dop,t

For the serious line those same utter
