Mr.. Swanton, virtuous mayor
Of Traverse City, Mich, has or
dered police to lock up girls
or women appearing in knick-
erbockers. His explanation is:
"The morals of the present gen.
Grafton of boys are being as
sailed, and I won't let them be
tempted by immoral dress"
Young women wearing knick-
erbockers display legs, straight
or bent, from the knee down.
Young men wearing knicker-
bockers do the same. Why are
twelve inches of female leg bad
for boys morals and the same
length of a boys leg harmless,
as regards girls morals.
Knickerbockers are the most
"moral" costume that women
can wear. The skirt was in
vented for the harem, where
they didn't want morals-or
knickerbockers.
The wonderful little Swiss
nation, efficient, democratic,
honest, so well prepared for
defense that no one dsres

deficit Of one hundred million
francs. That is twenty mil
lions of our money, at par, and
they take it seriously. Here it
wouldn't be worth mentioning.
We are good spenders and the
people very docile tn spayers.
A man on trial for selling
fake oil stocks told his victims,
eve are almost certain to find
q lake Of gold; $100,000,000
would be cheap for our hold

truth. For I'VE" meant him.
self and his crowd, and who
ever kOCb dlOtl bhC 1VOhoL
American investor in the right
way Is ABSOLUTELY certain
to find q lake Of gold.
It is a lake that never dries
nm. Millions spend their lives
IN hard work and slow saving,
at any moment ready to ex-
change the work and savings
for the lying promises Of some
scoundrel. And no amount Of
warning or exposure seems to
change 1t.
Education Of the people will
be the only remedy. And per-
haps on the whole the present
system is part Of a ,rovfdential
plan. Experience is the best
education. He who loses his
savings goes on working, which
is better for him and the co,m-
try, probably, than the few
wears Of idleness that hs has
promised himself.

Skeyhill Lecture Pictures Dis
tresSed Condition of
Russia.

An interesting picture of conditions in
Russia as they are today was given by
Tom Skeyhtll, Australian soldier, poet
and lecturer, in his address at the Big
Meeting at Englishs yesterday. Mr..
Skeyhiu spoke from first hand informa-
ton, as he spent long time in Russia
in 1920, slipping into the country in the
disguise Of a Swedish electrical engineer
after he had been refused a passport
THE Communist system has failed in
Russia" he said att has failed because
it does not reward q man for service
rendered. The incentive is not there to
work and to strive for advancement, but
the present government of Russia must
remain in power because we cannot over
throw It. II we were to kill Lenin he
would be immortalized as martyr.
Russia is suffering from malnutrition.
No man has two suits Of clothes or
change of Undertaking. The schools,
however, in Russian cities are full of
children, the churches and theaters are
crowded and the art institutes are
packed.
"Lenin today is the most powerful Of
European politicians He has given the
peasants what they wanted, land; he
has given the Industrial workers what
they want, the factories and stores. The
soldiers and sailors wanted TO quit fight
ing and today they are content to sup
port Lenin, for they say that II he is
oyerthrown, It means more fighting"

SAULWAS POOR
EXCUSE AS KING
OF ISRAELITES
Former Senator Beveridge
Talks on Scriptures at
Seymour.

SEYMOUR. Ind, Feb. 2O.-The old
bficaI story of the intense jealousy of
Saul for young David was the basis Of
an address by Albert J. Beverldge on
THE Bible as Good Reading" at union
services Of all churches at Seymour last
night.
In part, Mr.. Beverldge said:
saul had given a rotten administra-
ton; he was a poor excuse Of q king
no kind Of a man to manage public af-
fairs-sluggish, without much intelli-
gence, lacking in decision and concerned
chiefly lest David gupplant him on the
throne.
$50 there was much distress Israel
everybody in debt, everybody oyertaxed
and q constantly growing number dis
gusted with King Saul. The more des-
perate focked to David IN the cave Adult
lum.
THE first thing David did was to turn
this force against the common eremy,
the Philstines, and smote them with a
great slaughter. Still Saul hunted down
David as though he were a criminal and
a traitor. On more than one Occa-
sion the youthful leader spared the stup-
Id, sour hearted, narrow minded King, 10
whom, in spite of everything, David was
loyal.
THE upshot Of the thrilling series Of
incidents that make up this part Of
Dayfd's career, was that Saul, defeated
by the Phiustines, killed himself, David
became king of Judah and finally Of all
Israel; and began his wonderful reign,
one Of the most successful and glorious
in the Jewish annals.
ABUSES were corrected, Justice was
done, prosperity restored, the prestige
Of the nation established again. Good
men made unbalanced and menacing IN
der Saul became once more cOntented,
industrious, orderly and useful under
David. We do not read Of any more
portentious meetings at the cave Adullum.
THE point to It, that where there IS
a just cause for discomfort, it viii dis
appear only when that cause is re-
moved; that abuse does not answer
righteous complaints nor suppression
crush the honest resentment Of which
those complaints are the articuIate ex-
preston; that craftsmanship finds q
practical remedy for genuine grievances
the moment they appear.
IF this is not done; If wooden headed,
selfish rulers like Saul, cannot see or viii
not see the real needs Of the people and
relieve them, cannot or viii not see actual
wrongs and right them-then discomfort
gathers head and. ultimately, breaks
forth into a passionate storm Of needless
and unreasoning extremes, uncontrolled,
destructive, annihilatIng."
