She asserted that women OF this
country belong to so many clubs
that they don't know what any one
of these organizations is doing. The

said, could better be devoted to edu-
eating citizens, including women, to
a better understanding of govern
ment and politics.

A FATHERS WILL.

Too often have 1 seen a fathers
fortune become the undoing of his chill.
dren and rather than expose you to
such a risk l rejoice that have no
fortune to leave you, by dear children.
The father who made this observa-
ton in his will was the beloved Phila-
'delphia rabbi, Joseph Krauskopf, who
died June II. Doctor Krauskopf went
on to remind his children that they
had received the necessary education
and home training to equip them to
carve for themselves a useful career
without the aid Of inheritance. He
reminds them that from the age of II
he had been obliged to make his own
way, and could not but believe that he
was the better for it, 1t was for his
children to take the same Joy in ac-
cOmplishment as he had done.
Here is n wise and beneficent legacy.
1t is, indeed, all that the .ermal man
should ask. A strong body, a trained
mind, and an inspiring example of one
who has gone before, is ample to all
the requirements of life in America.
The percentage Of successful and
worthy sons of rich fathers is so small
as to give sufficient weight to Doctor
Krauskopf's statement. There is some
thing better than wealth to leave ones
children.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

conclusion that seems to be warranted
by the indisputable fact that the coun-
try was not, in the material sense, dis
rupted by the war. It has been dis
rupted for practical purposes by the at
tempts of France to collect excessive
reparations-or rather by the French
method OF. going about that task. But
,one carnot but believe that ii the actual
burdens. prescribed in the Versailles
treaty had been imposed upon any other
nation comparable to Germany in nat
ural resources the effect would not have
been allowed to become so chaotic as
that which Germany is now experiencing.
The average German. as an eminent
writer recently pointed out, is not
political being. To that fact may be
ascribcd in large measure the plight into
which the country has fallen. and If may
have to be taken into practical account
by Germany's debtors before they can
satisfy their material claims against her
and restore Europe to anything like Il
peace basis.

THE COVENANT.

Seven months ago, to the day. Con-
gresham the Reverend William David
Upshaw. of Georgia, arose on the floor
of the House of Representatives and
solemnly proposed that all public Off
Gals take the oath of total abstinence.
This was a refreshing suggestion,
and its adoption would have elimin-
ated at least part of the hypocrisy in
official circles which has hitherto at
tended the millennium. The Evening
Sun, therefore, seconded Mr.. Upshaw's
proposal. Since then the Rev. Mr.
Upshaw and ourselves have been joineao'
by Goveynor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
and William Jennings Bryan.
Here are four great forward looking
forces all calling upon the public Of
ficials to take the oath. But so far as
we have heard they have not done 1t.
One. at least, has publicly refused to
do so indeed, the only public oath
taking. official and private, that has
come to our attention has been that OF
the brewers of Pennsylvania and the
son of the Reverend Billy Sunday.
1t is not too late for the covenant.
The line forms on the right-Baltimore

shrink close to his. She chung tight

shaking in every limb. Fright, it
seemed, had suddenly mastered Allie
Gray endeavored for a moment to
soothe Ter, then gently to loosen her
hold; he spoke to her as he would
have spoken to a terrified child, but
the wildness of her emotion matched
the wildness of the night, and her
strength was nearly equal TO his.
Roughly, he tore her arms from
about his neck and put her away
from him; by main strength he
forced her into a chair, then snatched
covering of some sort from the bed
and folded it around her shoulders.
His voice was hoarse-to him il
sounded almost brutal as he said:
."Get hold of yourself. We're in
no. great danger, really. Now then,
light will help us both" With
clumsy hands he struck a match and
lit the lamp. Lights a great thing

torch and muttered: "I'll take a look
around to see that things are snug.

With ribbons and flowers and dOodads on 1t.
And merrily sings, she makes her bow
To the patiently waiting bovine cow.
She dances and prances, and sings some more
As she cheerfully takes up the daily chore;

Maidens are maidens. as maidens go:

CHAPTER XXVI.
In Dangerous Waters.

A subdued but continuous whisper
ing irritatcd Calvin Gray. When II
persisted. minute after minute. he
opened his eyes, asking himself. duly
why it was that people couldn't let
fellow sleep.
Allegheny Briskow appeared out OF
nowhere and laid soothing hand up
on his brow. When she saw the ligh;
of sanity in his eyes, her face bright
ened and she cried, eagerly:
You're coming around all right
aren't you? You mustn't talk. Every
thing is all right-all right, honestly
I'll tell you everything. but just you
rest now until Buddy comes" There
was magnetism to the girls touch
and comfort in her voice.
1t was some time later that Gray
opened his eyes and spoke in a more
natural voice, saying, How do l hap
pen TO be here in your house, Allie!'

Buddy's gone for a doctor. but he'll

quickly and moved toward the win

Eegin Here Today.

Calvin Gray hires three associates
to keep track of the oil field activities
of Col. Henry Nelson, who is his en-
envy. Gray is friendly with the Bris'
kow family. Bud Briskow, the son

Allie Briskow comes to spend few
days with her brother. Bud phones for
Gray TO come to the fields at once as
oil is expected on some land in which
Gray has an interest. Gray is injured
while watching operations on the field
Allie volunteers 10 nurse him. Allie Is
in love with Gray, but he loves Bar

When she had laid her inert burden
upon the bed, Allie knelt and took
Gray's head upon her bosom. Thea,

1T IS NOT DEATH TO DIE.


1t is not death TO die,
To leave this weary road,
And, midst the brotherhood on high.
To be at home with God.
1t is not death to close
The eve long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose,
To spend eternal years.
II is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon-chain, to breathe the air
OF boundless liberty.
1t is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust
And rise on strong, exulting wing,
To live among the just
Jesus. thou Prince of Life,
Thy chosen cannot die
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high.
George Washington Bethune.

substantially the same conditions exist

as expressed publicly by them in speeches
since their return, have few if any points
of contact
Senator, Hiram Johnson told New
York audience that what he had seen
and heard i'll Europe during his recent
visit only confirmed his earlier opinion
that this country should 'lay Off Of all
European affairs. His trip had rein
forced his conviction, he said, that the
Court of International Justice, which
President Harding wanted the United
States to join. is "an utterly futile
agency for peace" and that therefore,
| this country should have nothing to do
with it. Nobody in Europe" he de-
clarcd. "cares rap for the international
court"
Only a short time previously, after
the late Presidents St. Louis speech, Sen
ator Johnson had indicated that Mr..
Harding's court plan, as amended in
that address, was not Objectionable to
| him.
On the same day that Senator John
son made politically memorable by re-
ncwing his attack upon the international
court, Senator Underwood was giving
Birmingham audience his own diagno-
sis of Europe's troubles and prescribing
remedy for their effect upon the
United States. He devoted the more
attention to the latter division of the
subject.
THE law of supply and demand"
said the Democratic senator, cannot
be ovcrtaken by the puny efforts of
man. In order that we may market
all we produce in America, one-half OF
Our cotton, one-third of Our meat and
one third of our wheat crops must be
sold in Europe AS no market can
be secured in country where there is
no stabilized form of government, we
find that large part of Europe will be
exempt from prospective markets"
Therefore, Senator Underwood con-
cluded, the United States should assist
in the Strengthening out of Europe's at
| fairs.
But how? If he answered this ques-
ton, something was omitted by the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent who re-
ported the speech. But most likely
| there was no actual omission; Senator
Underwood may have assumed that his
pro-league record was sufficiently well
known to make any concrete recon-
mendation on this occasion unnecessary.
1t is possible, too, that, being a prospec-
tive candidate for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination and having no de-
sire to prejudice his chances before the
national convention, he studiously avoid
ed advocating participation in the league
by America as means of stabilizing
European governments and thus afford
ing this country a foreign market for
its surplus products.
In any case, the American people
know no more about world conditions,
and have no better idea of what their
country should do about them, than
thew did before Senators Johnson and
Underwood undertook to investigate.
Or, if they are better prepared to cope
with the situation, it is not because OF
any information or wisdom received from
these two members Of the United States
Senate.
