the Pharisee, whose sin of pride and
consciousness was doubtless greater
than the woman's -impuls1ve SINS or
the flesh. Nor yet does 1t alter the
equally guilty with the woman, and
who are not reported as showing re-
pentance and finding forgiveness At
the moment, We are only concerned
with the sinner and the SIN, VINO f1g-
ure as the central characters in this
story.
As Jesus Looked at IT.
We shall never ''see life clearly and
see il WHO'LL; until as did Jesus, We
face the reality of sin as forcein
life far more important and near than
eFOlution or environment or heredlty.
Alone among the great religions of
the earth, Christianity squarely recog--
nig@s sin. other philosophers, old ana
new, either get around sin by calling
it by other I.ames. or else they ignore
primary reality. He was given at birth
the name Jesus, because he shall
save his people from their sins" He
came to be a Saviour. That was HIS
love of God in the breaking of the
power of sin over human life, and in
granting forgiveness for it. In a way
that we cannot understand, tho we ac-
cept it. he somehow MADE atonement
for the sin of the world.
Jesus forgaXe the sinner. That was
just Nike Him.
But Jesus never winked at sin. That
also was just Lka/Him.
He deemed sin so heinouS that he
declared that an Offending eye should
be pIucked out, an offending hand
cut off. The moral)ImistinesS of vision
which pervades contemporary 1itera-
ture and life, diminishing the sanctity
of virtue and the sinfulnesS of sin,
never touched Him. How abhorrent
sin is to a holy God is made plain by
the cross. How great is the love of
God is shown by the fact that Jesus
forgave the penitent woman, who in
lavishness of love and desire and re-
pentance, had thrown herself at his
feet.
Jesus was the antithesis of the gen.
crafty of men, who look upon sin as
a little thing, and who regard the
known sinner with outward contempt.
Christ receiv-s sinners, but he hates
sin.

What Is Your Wife worth?-1.
BY DOROTHT DIX
Wo9sa's RiEhess Paid W@maa WFAbsE.


According to the newspaper dis
patches, a man traded off his wife to
another man for a secondhand Ford,
with one spare tire.
Which man got the best of the bar
gain is not stated. 1t takes a pretty
poor flesh and blood Lizzie, however,
not to be worth more than a Tin Lizzie,
and, aside from any sentiment in the
matter, one is inclined to think that a
wife is a more valuable asset, by and
large, than a motor car, even with the
extra tire thrown in.
A wife can help Il man make and
save money. An automobile eats it
up. No wife. even tho she had as
many feet as a centipede, and an I'M
restrained passion for fancy fOOtgear;
would cost as much IN shoes in the
course of a year. as even flivver does.
And she might be fed on nightingale's
tongues, and drink prohibition booze
at the price of the gasoline that a car
laps up.
A wife can cook, and clean, and
patch, and mend, and darn and keep
the home fires burning. The mission
of the automobile is to put a mort
gage on the vine-wreathed cottage.
A wife can be a comfort, and stay,
and prop to her husband. An auto
mobile gets him a summons to court
for speeding.
The price of a good wife is above
rubies. The price of an automobile
is always a little more than you can
afford. Furthermore, while it is true
that matrimony is no joy ride thru
life L breaks fewer bones than an
automobile does.
Nevertheless, many men prefer an
automobile to a wife, and remain sin
gle in order that they may have the
pleasure of indulging themselves in
the latest sports model of a car with
all the accessories pertaining thereto,
that enable a man to speed away from
domeSticity instead OF heading into it.
Wives or cars. it is a matter of taste
which a man prefers. What do you
think, Mr.. Husband? How much is
your wife worth to you?
OF course, when we think of the
value of wife, we instantly measure
her worth in terms of sentiment. We
think of the love of wife which en-
dures the ravages of the years, and
which still sees in a man after he gets
old. and fat. and bald, the romantic
hero of her gir1ish dreams.
We think of the loyalty of a wife
which makes a woman cling to man
thru good and evil reports, and makes
her cling fast to him when all the bal
ance of the world turns away from
him.
We think of the devotion of wife
that makes a woman toll over wash
tubs, and cooking stoves, and slave
over sewing machines, and make of
herself a living sacrifice for her huS-
bands comfort-asking no reward ex-
cept a kindly word, now and then, and
the knowledge that she is boosting
him up the ladder of success.

The court of appeals of the District
OF sGolumbia in declaring unconstitu-
tional the minimum wage law of the
District, voiced the opinion that no
greater calamity could befan the wage
carriers of the country than to uphold
the legislative power to fix wages. In
terference with fundamental economic
laws has been the chief evil of recent
years. Prices have been fixed, wages
raised or reduced on government
coatrolled private properties, and in
other ways the law of supply and de-
mand has been set aside. The error
OF such a course has been abundantly
demonstrated, but a strong fight for
its continuance still is being made.

TWO THINGS.


There are two things that should
be in the back of every decent mans
head-the buying and owning of a
home of his own, and/ the carrying
of an adequate insurance policy.
The one protects, gives happiness
and security while he lives, and the
other affords him the satisfaction that
those whom GLOVES and who have
for long served him are not going to
be left unhappy or forgotten when
he is gone.
The mere boarding and piIing of
money is getting to be less and less at
1t is far better to leave a boy an
honest name and an understandable
formula for work, than any possible
sized fortune.
An inherited character is the richest
thing boy could receive.
And this is developed best in home
where all the ennobling influences of
life are born.
Yes, go into debt for home. And
keep up your life insurance policy.
even tho you have to sacrifice greatly
to do so.
These two@are, the greatest agencies
that breed success and happiness.
A real man must learn the great
art of rubbing shoulders with other
men, of finding in them something at
tractive and uplifting, as well as be
coming needful and necessary to them.
But only as he is secured in his own
mind by a background of preparation
is he able to tread with sound and
sure step.
Have home-get your life insured
Be a real citizen and a mover for
the best in your community. And con-
slider your voting one of your greatest
privileges.
Walk straight ahead-and keep
your chin up!

AS an argument in favor of a ship
subsidy it is pointed out by advocates
OF the measure that we have paid for
eign shipping a total OF s2s,oOo.oo0,-
600 in the last hundred years for
carrying our ocean commerce and in
the past seven years we have paid
$4,000. 900, 900 for the same service.
In. view of these figures it may seem
strange that we still have nearly all
the real money in the world and 9TH
erwise are the wealthiest and most
prosperous nation on the globe. Why
not let well enough alone?

THE BULL MOOSE PROGRAM.

/ A Washington dispatch carries the
announcement that the Bull Moose are
preparing to go on another rampage
similar TO that of 1912. It Is said that
they are blaming to prevent the re-
nomination of President Harding.
They may succeed. If they fail it
seems unlikely that they Will repeat
the mistake of ten years ago. The
price OF being kept away from the
public crib eight years is too large to
pay even in the upholding OF a great
principle. 1t is indicated that Sena-
tor Borah will be the Roosevelt of the
revival.
Similar upheayals in the Republi-
can party have kept the Democrat
party alive ever since the close Of the
Civil war. They began away back in
the late sixties with the Liberal Re-
publican movement. This was fol-
lowed by the Grange" movement, the
"Greenback'' movement, the "Popu-
list movement, the free Silver"
movement, and the Progressive"
movement.
Each of these movements resulted
ultimately in carrying over into the
Democrat party a large contingent OF
former Republicans. always including
some of the ablest leaders. Among
the, latter might be mentioned Charles
Sumner, Lyman Trumbun. Horace
Greeley. Henry NJ. Teller, and, here
in Kansas, David Overmyer, who came
to the state a Republican.
A marked difference between the
two great parties lies in the fact that
while Democrats in droves may so
over to the opposition, as in 1920, their
leaders always stick and await the
turn of events. Republican leaders
bolt as did Teller, when he marched
out of the st. Louis convention at the
head of his followers, over into the
Democrat camp.
So, if the Bull Moose control the
next national Republican convention
and defeat Harding. probably there
will be an exodus OF oldtime leaders.
They cannot stand for a program
which calls for:
Repeal or drastic modification of
the Esch-Cummins railroad act.
Legislation to curb the use of in
JuEctions in labor disputes
Re-enactment of the excess profits |
tax and higher rates on big incomes.
CURLING the powers of the federal
reserve board
Revision OF the new Republican
Recognition of soviet Russia and re-
Of trade relations With |
her.
Amnesty for political prisoners con-
victed of wartime offenses.

for Ford cars is probably as accurate

found. and indicates that all classes of

The British government has made
another payment of S5O.O0O.OOO inter
est on its debt TO the United States.
The sum practically completes the
amount due this fall. and attests anew
the resolution of the British govern

money comes in handy since Uncle

Electric energy produced during
September amounted to 135.2o0,oO0
kilowatt hours a day. 1t was a high
record, exceeding a previous record set
during August. Part OF the increase
is accounted for by change from
steam power, but more Of it is proba-
bly, due to a greater demand for power
from the growing Industrial activity.

BLOW TO THE SUBSIDY.

1t may be that President Harding
will continue to insist that congress
pass a ship subsidy bill when it meets
in extra session next week but the
chances of it's enactment, poor at any
time. can hardly fail to have been
greatly deprecated by the results of
the recent election
Unless congress feel inclined to ig-
more the voice of the people it will
fight shy of the subsidy thing. But
whether it do so or not the opposition
to the measure is likely to be in
creased by the addition of members
who have been secretly against it all
the time but had not the courage to
run counter to an administration
policy. Such will now feel encouraged
to come out into the open.
What probably is the general trend
of those in and out of congress is set
forth by the Omaha Bee in an, editor
ial article as follows:
Congress, called to assemble next
Monday, will meet with the echoes of
last Tuesday still ringing IN its ears.
It is hardly possible to misinterpret
that message. Whether it contains
any intfnation as to the program the
it leaves no room for argument as to
what is not wanted. And this touches
on the program that was under con-
sideration when the recess was taken
in September.
The merchant marine bill. which is
to be taken up at once by the house.
is popularity known as the ship sub
sidy bill. This measure was included
in the general criticism leveied against
the present congress, and can not cas-
lily be separated from the adverse YER
dict. Therefore it VIII surprise no
body If the subsidy feature of the bill
is set aside. not abruptly. but with
such perfunctory attention as will
prove that congress can read signs as
plain as those loft by the election.
Americans are interested in Their mer-
chant marine. but it is difficultlto con-
vince a midwest farmer that the
federal treasury should be open to a
ship owner more widely than it has
been to food producer.
Forty millions must be collected in
new taxes to repay treasury errors on
only adjusted accounts. Many times
forty millions are undisclosed in tax
collections in arrears, which may
reach $500. 600, 600, according to the
New York Journal of Commerce. All
such treasury difficulties could be
avoided in the future by the simple
process Of levying a reasonable income
tax an$ experimenting it with a sales
tax.

President Harding's proposal TO
submit the seniority question to the
