THE STATE"
By Frank Oppenheimer.
~ VIZ H. l.. -

New Edition. Oh. w. Huebsch)
In the new edition of The State
this famous scientist points out that
there are now two well established
conceptions of what q state, as So
cial entity, really is. On the one
hand there is the concept of the State
as based on right and freedom, while
DR.. 0ppenheimer's definition Of the
state is that summation of privi-
leges and dominating positions which
are brought into being by extra &c
onomic power"
When Louis XIV delivered his ia
nous definition, "The State? | am
the State" it seems that his sociol-
ogy was not so far wide of the mark
as it is supposed to have been. Po-
litical economists and sociologists who
during the past generation have re-
vised scientific thinking on the sub
ject of the state, have arrived at prac-
tically the same conclusion.
DR.. Oppenheimer's definition is, af-
ter all, pretty much what Louis XIV
had in mind. The difference between
this modern scientist and the king
Of France is that while Louis eX-
pressed the subconscious desire Of
the aristocrat, Dr. Oppenheimer
states a conclusion arrived at after
lifetime Of study.

Teach Sex To Parents
Rather Than Children

Chicago, Dec. Sex instruction
for parents, not children, is the solu-
ton to the modern morals problem.
The Chicago school board, with this
idea in mind, will hold night schools
in morality and sex hygiene for the
mothers and fathers of school chill
-dren.
Several trustees of the board Of ed
ucation will conduct the night class
es and carry to the parents the prob
lens of sex hygiene, which they II
turn are expected to convey to their
children through individual instruc-
ton in the home.
Sex matters cannot be taught prop
erly to school children except by THEN
parents, DR.. Boleslaus klarkowski,
trustee of the school board and ia
ther of the plan, declared.
"Sey instruction should begin al
nome and not at school" said klark-
owslii.
The night classes will be conducted
in fifty different community centerS
Members of the board who will direct
the sex lectures include Dr.. Krakow
SKI, Tx. Juuu I'm lNOpNANS anu -
Sadie Bay Adair.
The teachings will include frank
discussions of the younger genera
tons morals, according to Dr. Klark-
owski,
Parents will be taught to show
their children the real meaning OF
sex, and to bring them up in an at
,,,osnbprn that will compel right liV-
ing" he said.
E'Instead of talking about mora
qualities, parents should see that
their children's lives are first domi-
mated by a spirit of right living IL
the home.
MANY parents try to brighten THEN
children into Righteousness with
threats of the dire results of sex in
discretions.
"The child should be taught the
meaning of true love, which comes
from self control"

YARD ENGINE RUNS WILD

Hagerstown, Nd, Dec. All rail.
road men here are talking today OF
the wild run of a yard engine which
got away from its crew this morning
and tore 10 miles down the Pennsyl-
vania tracks until it ran out of steam
and stopped of its own accord.
The engine was switching in the
Pennsylvania yard when it sidewiped
a freight car. The crew jumped to
save themselves from injury the en-
gineer leaving the throttle open. The
engine continued on through the yard
The tender jumped the track at a de-
rail at Church street and ran along
the ties. tearing them up, by Frank
lin street, until it rerailed at the
spur track near Washington street.
Still going strong, the runaway
engine went through three yards, an
interlocking plant. a siding at Vardo
and stopped at Grimes, which Is 10
miles from Hagerstown. 1t happen
ed that there was no train on the road
at the time.

such a remarkable stunt" performed

Motor Crooks Are Too
Fast For Walking Cops

Chicago, Dee. 2-The district pa
trolman. covering his beat afoot, no
longer has a chance to cope with the
modern motorized crook, declared
Chief Charles Fitzmorris of the CHI
cago Police Department.
"The crooks can watch a police
man on his beat and after he has
passed a certain point commit half
dozen crimes and make their getaway
for they know it VIII be an hour be-
fore he is back abain," Fitzmorris
said.
He has recommended the purchase
of thirty to sixty more au-
tos so that the department will have
an even break with the crook.
The new "flivver squadron" will pa
troll certain districts. Each car, man
ned by three policemen in uniform,
will cover a regular beat, more often
and more speedy than the foot pa
trolmen.
In asking an appropriation for the
purchase of the new cars, Chief tltz-
morris pointed out that auto patrols
and motorcycle officers have cut auto
thefts in half and have almost elml-
mated payroll robberies.
In addition to working for the i'm
provement of the motor facilities of
the department, the Chief is prepar-
ing to institute a rigid checking sys-
TEN, so that the patrolmen will stand
on their own merits. "Chair warm
ers" and petty politicians who have
drifted into soft berths on the force
will be spotted and weeded out.
The Chiefs next step to make Chi
cago a city of the straight and mar
row path will be to ask for the APP
pointment of health, sanitation and
moral commission to suppress COM
mercialized vice.
Requests for such a commission the
Chief explained is not an attempt to
"pass the buck" for existing condi-
tons. His study of the situation has
convinced him that vice can be dealt
with most successfully by commission.

their project before it got we'll
started. In this. at ali events, he
set a high standard OF public viz.
tue by dealing with the aPPropria-
ton OF public funds as q matter
of national concern and refusing
to trade with other Representative
es in order to benefit his own 10
cality and strengthen his own po-
litical fortunes at home. In a
word, he put the interests OF the
country above those OF his district
and himself when it came to ap-
propriating the peoples money Tor
such schemes. He became then
not the Representative OF the Sec
ond Illinois district, but the Rep
resentative OF the United States.
Personally a disagreeable man,
sour by nature probably and en-
FILTERED by private and public dis
appointments, he was, neverthe-
less. a political mentor TO whose
wholesome advice many a younger
Congressman owed his success.
Cynical and disillusiOned by his
own experiences, there was a kind
" spot left in his bitter heart 10;
political beginners, and, like d Con-
gressional schoolmaster, he ire
Quently took occasion to point out
TO them that the only road to reai
achievement was by becoming 4
master of and an authority with
regard TO some particular subject
of importance. Uncle Joe Can
non made himself everybody $
friend. Jim Mann's object
seemed to be TO make himself
everybody's enemy. But his rough
kindness to Congressional infants
appeared to show that down III his
soul there fingered a certain meas
ure Of sympathy and tenderness
Tor youthful ambition.
As for himself, he followed his
own advice to others, He made
himself one of the foremost au-
thorities ON Government details
who ever sat in Congress, and as
master OF parliamentary law was
a sharp thorn in the side OF the
Democrats during the eight years
when he was the leader OF the Ke-
publican minority in the House.

only wonder is that it has been toler-

Mrs. Winters, who is making an ex-
tended tour of the country lecturing to
district women's clubs in campaign
for the adjustment of illiteracy, is
now travelling in Missouri.
In condemning the little country
school. with its Anticipated schoolmas-
ter. its "one-track" program of study,
and its slow, ponderous methods of IN
struction, Mrs. Winters advocated in
it's place the county unit or communl-
tv school, with its advantages Of sepa-
rate teachers for different studies,
Joint ability to hire better instruc-
tors, and lower cost OF upkeep.
"Our organization is conducting a
national campaign against illiteracy,"

the federal government, who go INTO
homes teaching housewives how 10
cook how to know good values in ma
terials. and how to sew them into gar
ments. Mrs. Winters hailed as a for
ward step in community life.
"The standard of living is made
higher, the morals goes up, and we
have better citizens" she asserted.

firm, however, is. TO, publish one vol.
nme Of the Library on the 10Th OF
each month instead Of issuing a group
of volumes at the beginning of each
season. 1t is their idea that the book
loving public can look forward Just
as eagerly to the publication of the
new Modern Library volume as the
music loving public looks to its Victor
or Columbia records. Notable among
their books of the year was the pub
LEGATION of September 10th of Hend-
rik Van Looms "Ancient Man, with

but immense charm is Oliver Her
ford's Neither Here Nor There" re-
Gently published by George II. Doran

"The Hobgoblin" is in itself well
worth the price of the book.
And does it not seem a pity when
there are hundreds Of slim and lovely
little volumes, written and bound in
excellent taste, waiting TO be bought,
that there should be so many crimes
perpetrated in the name of Christ
