AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

Criticism, if constructive, is good for community
and for our people.
But criticism, with nothing better to Offer becomes
pessmsm and is DESTRUCTIVE 1t breeds dissatisfaction
over conditions that exist without offering any of
correcting them.
The next time you feel like crticisng those in author
y be charitable enough and fair enough to withhold that
criticism until you in position to suggest suitable
remedy
You may not speak at all.
Are you persistent cusses, brother? If so, don't be
surprised if your young follows in your footsteps
The example of the father hardly be denied the
Habits formed in youth seldom changed of forgotten
in adult years.
People who are unable unwilling to raise children
properly should retain from bringing them into the world
Yards of cloth dyed red, white bue all of these
coors nothing You may pass them thousand
times without giving them second thought.
But work that cloth into American flag and it be-
at the symbol of the greatest heritage of
knd---hberty.
The who loves his country will respect its flag He
will not treat it as yards of cloth.
The who does not respect his flag not, under
any possible stretch of the imagination be cassed as
lover of his country.
We have many of the one and too many of the other
Study your neighbors, and your friends but let that
study be in spirit of fairness and impartiality.
They all have their faults which are more often upon
the surface and open to criticism.
But they also have their good qualities which are gen
orally under the surface felt only by the few and unknown
to the many.
Most men have more good qualities than bad ones But
the bad ones like the skunk command instant attention.
while the good ones passed by without notice.
These thoughts however are only "as the editor

CHURCH ABANDONS
INSANITY ROLE AS
HEFACES GALLOWS
Murderer of Two Prays
As Moose and Cap
Z Are Adjusted.

CHICAGO. March 3.-Harvey w,
Church. strapped in a chair. dropped
through the trap at the county jail
at 1854 o'clock this afternoon and
ten minutes later was dead of
strangulation. The force of the
drop broke the chair. but did not
dislocate his neck. Thus ended the
career OF one of the most cold
blooded murderers In the criminal
history OF Chicago
Alienists have cIpimed all along
that Church was Stimulating in
sanity and this was proved by the
fact that he shook off his stupor
on the way TO the galiows and
during his last moments in the
death chamber. He called for his
parents and sister. His mother
tainted. but his father and sister
him ......
Pray., when He Feels Moose.
On the way to the gallows he
perspircd freely and after the moose
and cap had been adjusted he be-
gan to pray. At first he mumbled.
but his voice became stronger and
he repeated the Lords prayer. Then
he lapsed into silence again and the
trap was sprung. These were the
first words he had spoken for forty
six days, when he began his hunger
strike.
Other prisoners In the jail did
not stage their usual hideous
clamor and rattling OF cell doors,
which heretofore has been one of
the features of an execution. For
one thing. the hanging of Church
means the practical end of the in
sanity" dodge for murderers.
On September s, last year. Church.
who wanted new automobile,
went to the Packard Company,
picked out a $1,000 car and asked
that n salesman be sent with him
and the car to a bank where he
had a certified check waiting.
tBernard ]. Daugherty was direct
ed to accompany him and. as an
afterthouGht, the manager also
told Carl o. Ausmus. another sales
man. to go along. Church tried to
dissuade Ausmus. but they finally
got in the car. Instead of going
to a bank, he asked them to drive
by his home until he attended to
an errand.
He went into the house and in, a
few seconds appeared at a base
ment door and beckoned Daush
erty to come In. As Daugherty de-
scended the stairs, Church hit him
over the. head with a baseball bat.
Then he dragged the body into a
coal bin, cut Daugherty's throat,
handcuffed him and cleaned up the
floor.
Ten minutes later Ausmus, wor-
ried over Daugherty's absence,
started down the stairs, He also
was struck down. his hands tied
and he was beaten to unconscious
ness
buried Under Floor.
Church testified that Ausmus
was not dead when he buried him
under the garage hoor. across the
street from his home. and that ne
stamped on his face and chest to
crowd him into the narrow grave.
He took Daugherty's body to the
Desplaines River and threw 1t in.
Half an hour later he returned TO
his home, whistling merrily. and
asked . neighbor 10 take ride n
his new car. That night he and
his mother and two girls drove "a
Indiana Harbor and back. The
next morning he and his mother
drove to Adams. wis. where his
father had a farm.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
WITH OUR RELIGION?

There is saying, and true one,
too, that "there is no man but what
we can find some good in him." 1t
is also said that every race and per-
son has religion.
Too many of us never stop to
think what is meant when we speak
of having religion--we take it for
granted that it is the saving kind
the kind that gives us eternal happi-
ness. But religion is divided into
two kinds-the positive and the negr
ative. The NEW" discovery of the
two kinds shows that one is oper-
alive upon the other. God controls
the positive and man possesses the
negative. The negative can't oper-
ate without a touch or connection
with the positive. Too many men
and women of today are living a
negative religion. This negative re-
ligion is what is the trouble today
1t works for worldliness and fails to
reconcile troubled and nisspent
life. 1t is a camafouge that has
thrown the world into the condition
it is today. 1t has no connection
with tine Divine. From the outside
appearance it may look as if it had
divine sanction but when the test
comes, it fails to reconcile. What
we need in business, in society in
the home, in the government and in
our relations with man is the posi-
tive connection that will clarity our
minds and hearts in all the activities
of. which man is capable of per-
forming. This simple remedy for
ending peacefully our troubles Of to-
day should be given immediate study
by all teachers, preachers and pro-
fessors. Rich and poor alike will
prifit by the return to the perfect"
by applying the remedy. So long
as the Christian churches, or the re-
ligious individuals remain in dor
manf and negative state, the old
world will be missing the unbounded
blessings of positive God Eternal.
Getting in tune with God is possess
ing the positive religion Robert
Babson says we need more religion
in business-he means we-need more
positive religion in business" and
what is needed in business is also
needed in other avenues of life. The
contact is made by believing, living
and serving In cause Of the Master
the Savior of the World, and in the
Father-the positive, the giver of
every perfect gift.

were opposed by Mr.. Thompson in
the last sessions of the Legislature:
First: Salary bills that sought to
increase the salaries of state officers
25 to 100 per cent.
Second: A bill to authorize Gas
Companies to charge a step-up rate
for natural gas.
Third: A bill to raise the legal
rate of interest from per cent to
s per cent by legalizing contracts
stipulating greater rate than 6 per
cent and not to exceeds per cent.
Fourth: A bill to exempt moneys,
notes and credits secured by specific
lien from taxation.
Fifth: A bill to give away all the
States available water-power sites
through the Public Service Commits
sion to foreign capitalists for ex-
ploitation without any requirements
to furnish a supply or service of the
power generated to West Virginians
at a reasonable cost before trans
porting the same from the state. In
other words West Virginia was to be
made the power house of the sur
rounding states for the purpose of
generating power to serve industries
and people just like she is now COM
PEELED to allow natural gas to be
transported from her borders before
her own people obtained sufficient
supply or service.
Sixth: A bill to repeal the Pri-
mary Law before the women had a
chance to express their choice in a
Primary as to who should represent
them in Office.
Seventh: A bin finally enacted
solely in the interest of the southern
coal operators and the oil and gas
interests, known as the Gross Sales
Tax Law, under which these indus
tries pay several hundred thousand
dollars less taxes than they were
required to pay under the law the

HELP THE MOTHERS

The mother who teaches her child
rem to pray and to read the Bible
makes the largest impress on her gem
Grafton. Modern methods of. feed
ing, of discipline and play are useful
but unless education is built upon
the Book which is the foundation of
all helpful living, the training is in
vain.
Mothers know this. Rare is the
mother who does not pray that her
boys and girls shall grow up within
the church. She knows the restrain
ing and refining touch of Christian
ity in times of stress and temptation
when she cannot be present.
Let's back up the mothers of this
county and help the churches to i'm
plant the tenets Of religious faith.
Go to some church Sunday. "The
fear of Jehovah is the beginning of
wisdom; and the knowledge of the
Holy One is understanding.-Prov.
