THERE CAME OUT THIS CALF
By DR.. Frank Crane


tn HE Reverend Karl Reiland some
time ago preached sermon in St
Georges church, New York, and
took for his text sentence from the Book
| Of Exodus, "And there came out this calf
The sentence occurs in the story of
Moses visit to Mount Sinai. While he was
up in the mountain where he received the
| Ten Commandments his brother Aaron
| allowed the people to slip back into idolatry
and made for them golden calf to
worship.
When Moses came down from the noun
tain and saw what had happened he was
very angry. He smashed the, idol and
demanded an explanation from Aaron
Aaron's excuse was naive. He said:
"Let not the anger of my lord wax
hot; thou knowest the people, that it is
bent on mischief. They said unto me,
Make us gods that shall go before us: and
said unto them, Who hath any gold?
They took it off themselves and gave it
to me, and I cast it into the fire and
there came out this calf
The incident is illustrative Of a good
deal of the explanation which people give
Of their misdoings. We are apt to give
any excuse for our failings, except the fact
that we are weak and foolish.
We like to give polite and easy names
to our faults, but to state virtues in
explicit terms.
IT is easy enough to go to church and
declare with the congregation that we are
all miserable sinners, that we have done
the things we should not have done and
that we have left undone the things we
| should have done.
But how many of us dare to tell the
bald truth? Who wants to say in so many
words that he has lied or stolen or been
thoughtless and cruel?
| man who is lazy and incompetent is
very quick to say that the reason for his
failure is the social system or the general
| injustice of mankind
! The drunkard will tell you that he just
! took little drop because he was not feel
! ing very we'll, instead Of telling the truth
Which-is that he is weak-Willed, has nc
| self-mastery and proceeded to poison himself
| because he did not have the stamina to
| resist.
The weak woman with no moral character
is quick to lay the blame for her wrong
| doing upon. circumstances or upon other
| people.
| The employer whose arrogance and bru'
| taity have disorganiZed his employees is
very apt to rant about the spread of Social
ism and Bolshevism among the working
classes. The envious, the idle and the
vicious join readily in the chorus that
curses capitalism.
| The kaiser and his junkers are doubt
less very sure that all that happened in
| the late not their fault They
were just marching around trying to keer
! peace and to put Deutschland uber allies,
and the first thing they knew there came
out this calf"
| Self-conceit, self-sufficiency and self-ex-
| cuse bring many man into hot water.

SHOCKING OUR NEIGHBORs

America are too raw" for South Sea island
ers. One sugar plantation owner stopped a
film in the middle. He was afraid the Amer
can vaup would be an evil influence for the
natives.
Such is the report by DR.. Albert w. Palmer,
head of a mission school in Honolulu.
Hawaiians, knowing us only through the
movies, consider vamps typical of American
women. And Americans think the movie hula
dancers is typical of the South Sea civiliza-
ton. Both are wrong. The most profound
of all ignorance is knowledge of distant
things.-El Paso Times (Dem.)

Tri-WeekIy Mems Flashes From All Over

Wage Cuts

Wages of British workmen were cut more
than &6,000,000 week in 1921, the British
Board of Trade reports. The reduction af-
fected more than 100000 workers and was
almost equal to the increases in pay which
had been granted in 1919 and 1920.
The severity of the British income tax may
be judged by the fact that instalments now
payable, including the super-tax, amount to
s4O0,O00,O00 sterling. This burden is borne
by less than 100000 persons. The sum
now levied in income taxes is almost twice
as much as the whole national revenue in
1914.
The number of unemployed continued to
increase during the past month. A state
ment issued by the American Chamber of
Commerce in London shows the severe de-
cline in British trade last year. It gives
British imports in 1921 as only 74.S per
cent of their volume in 1913, while exports
were only 49.S per cent of those OF 1913.
In the last three months of 1921, how
ever, a steady increase is noted in exports
of coal and manufactured goods.
In Belgium
Eleven university chairs will be created
by the University foundation established out
of the funds left over when the commission
for relief in Belgium ceased its operations.
The professors elected to these chairs will
receiv can annual salary of $4,000 francs,
with the stipulation that they must devote
themselves entirely to the teaching Of
scientific subjects
A reduction is contemplated in the num-
Der of American students to receive monetary
awards to enable them to pursue their
studies in Belgium There will be an increase
in the number of Belgian students invited
to the United States, and during 1922 they
will receive a special allowance of 5000 to
enable them to meet the high cost of liv~
ing.

Broke Into Office With Crowbar.

The death Of Morgan G. Bulkeley
recalls the famous legislative dead
lock OF 1891, when he forced his
way into the executive chamber at
Hartford with q crowbar.
The term OF office to which Mr..
Bulkeley had been elected as gov
ernor expired in January, 1891. Un-
der the State constitution, as II
stood at that time, a majority OF
all the votes cast was necessary 10
elect a governor and. where there
was no such majority, the election
fell to the general assembly. There
was a dispute as to the legality of
rejecting about 1900 so-called
"specked" ballots. cast in 1890,
which had been thrown out by the
counters at the polls. Luzon Il.
Morris, the Democratic candidate
for governor, had "a plurality of
about 1000 over Samuel h. Mervin,
Republican, but, IL these rejected
votes were Included in the total, he
still would lack majority. The
Republican house insisted on can
vassing the votes and the Demo
cratic Senate refused, so that II
was impossible to declare anyone
governor
The only State officer elected was
the comptroller, Democrat, who
had a clear majority. Under those
circumstances Governor Bulkeley
held over through failure to choose
q successor. The comptroller re-
fused to admit him to the State
house, and then followed the in
cldent with the crowbar at-the
State house door. The Supreme
Court decided that he was de facto
governor.
Fort Two Years.
Governor Bulkeley held the fort"
for two years after his own term
had expired. but the Democratic
Senate refused TO recognize his au-
thority. The deadlock episode led
to a constitutional amendment that
provides for election of State officers
by a plurality of the votes.
Young Bulkeley left school at an
early age and became an errand
boy In Brooklyn, n. Y, later be-
coming a member of the firm by
which he was employed.
