Mea1de,ings OF A Mildly
Militant Mind
AS Easter-tide Approaches.

Slowly but surely humanity moves
toward the height of it's highest con-
ccpt.
Centuries ago, One who declared
tile Fatherhood Of God designated that
height. "Be We therefore perfect"
He admonished, and thenceforth per-
fiction became the ultimate ideal.
Today it is unchanged.
Deep in the human heart, hidden by
deeds that may give little evidence OF
it's existence, there lives the desire to
be God-like.
And-He who inspired this univer-
sal desire gave promise of its posi-
BILE fulfillment.
81, if I be lifted up, will draw all
men unto me-" were His words.
And He was gifted up"
Nailed to a cross, they lifted Him
% the King of Kindness.
Cruelty crowned with thorns, with
bleeding hands and broken heart, He
claimed His kingdom, gained His SOW
reignty.
Nearly two thousand years have
passed. The truth Of His prophetic
procurement stands.
BY the magnetic power of love, that
element Of divinity which responds to
kindness ,sympathizes with suffering,
recognizes goodness and glorifies liv-
ing, He continues to draw mankind
heavenward.
my burden is heavy. Across my
path falls no merciful shade to temper
the heat of the glazing sun. Countless
others, footsore and weary, surge by.
Must the upward way forever be the
way of the cross ?" cries one who fall
tiers. When 10, feebly reaching forth
to help one who had fallen under d
load heavier than his own, his hand
touches Christ's own!
Suddenly, his burden lightens. Or
his strength is renewed. Helping an
other, he himself has found help.
The Spirit of Good liberated in any
act, however small, multiplies anc
brings blessing to many, among thenl
always the one who liberated it.
No one has yet computed the power
of kindness.
None can tell the loss to the worlc
Of one fine impulse checked.
It is not given us to know the won
drous transformation which would
take place in this world of ours if thu
doors of our hearts were unlocked ans
the thoughts imprisoned there sprans
forth and voiced themselves in words
and deeds!
o Thou Sun of Righteousness, thu
light of whose all-embracing low
burst through the darkness Of Cal
vary, let Thy rays penetrate the mist:
of misunderstanding which obscure
Thee, and teach US anew the lessons o.
meekness and mercy, faith and for
bearance, purity and truth, gratitude
and generosity, honor and honesty
loyalty and love!

evening, and deserves a great deal of
commentator for her presentation of
"Mrs. Beekman Street, looking for
No. 3"
Miss Fahrney was a good show as
a transplanted fraulein. "Tilly" was
an independent little piece, and while,
making up to the Irish, showed spirit
when he switched to another love.
Mr.. Wheeler, in a peck of trouble,
was always master of the situation,
and ready to subordinate personal
convenience and safety to the acqui-
sition of little kale.
The spectacular parts were beauti-
fully arranged and, with lavishment
OF costume and pleasing environ
ment Of lights and shadows, made up
a series of splendid tableaus, dances,
and songs.
Possibly the best of these were the
Scarf Dancers, a ravishing presenta-
ton Of Turkish dance. The girls
were grace itself; the formations, in
tricale to the extent of being difficult
on so small stage, were smoothly
accomplished; the songs harmoniously
given ,and every incident of the "di-
|vertisement Orientale" faithfully pro-
duced.
From the two wonderful incense
bearers Misses Ross and Young, to
Princess Zuleta in her sinuous, with
ing, snake dance, all showed the re-
suit Of much training and practice.
The Society girls, the Buffers, the
Country kids, the Reporters, and the
French maids, were only bit. behind
the Dancers, and that because the
parts were not so elaborate.
In fine, the latest production Of the
Wheeler Company, preserves their
regulations as frst-class artists in
their line, and their names coupled
with any production will always en-
sure a crowded house in Pocomoke.
On Tuesday evening, the company
showed to a small house in Princess
Anne. Communities are generally shy
Of visiting amateur players. They
will pay their money to see mediocre
home people and enjoy the mediocrity;
hut foreigners must come heralded as
professionals. If they had only known
it, professionals were in their midst.
The music furnished by Miss Madge
Tull, pianist, Maurice Groh, violinist,
end Wallace Vincent and Harry R.
Dixon, comets, supplied pleasing
filling in of interludes, and a har-
monious accompaniment to the sing
ing parts.
The show will net the Base Ball
club in the neighborhood Of $3.50.

nals up and either drive them from the city or place them in prison.
 Every city of any size contains within its population a community of those whose livelihood depends upon the violation of law. The individuals composing these communities are known to the police of their respective cities, and in some cases to the police of all cities. They are known as the potential disturbers of the peace and the source of danger to the life or property of law-abiding people. The time has come when cities should take cognizance of this as real problem which is capable of some salutary so- lution. If Philadelphia starts gen. uine cleanup, neighboring cities may at once look for a migration of crimi- nals coming their way, for, having been forced from one city, they must perforce seek another.
 Therefore, Philadelphia's perform ance has significance far wider than ehS AAhbS OI lldL MCCIOpOllS. ubIlllS the criminals on the move does not solve the problem, but merely gratis it onto another community. What is needed is some coordinate effort whereby the underworld of every mu- nicipality shall be treated as a social condition for which the remedy must be found. Criminals breed criminals as we'll as entice others into the crimi- nal life. The best way to clear our police dockets is to prevent crime, for the history of centuries of trial and punishment should teach us that pun ishment, while it holds crime in check, does not remove its causes. There are such causes, and they may be cured. The intelligence of which the Ameri- can people boast should reveal the need for 6 cure and be a proper guide in discovering that cure. Philadel- phia's program, while not cure, may force the cities to look for a cure If it does that, it is g salutary per- formance.

OUR COSTLY SMOKE FALL

A paragraph in St. Louis news paper carried suggestion that might we'll be applied to a condition in this community which adversely affects the interests of every resident: 'Ex- tracted by methods used in the Ford plants, Mondays smoke pail would have yielded an incredible number of dollars-a golden rather than silver lining" St. Louis is smoky city, but not more so than Birmingham. Un- told wealth is wasted in. faulty com bustion here every year. This loss falls not only upon industrial interests actively engaged in production, but upon every merchant, every house. keeper, every resident. The damage from smoke and dirt in connection herewith to stocks of goods is enor- nous. Every carpet, piece of drapery, or household object bears part of this toll, while many other articles of value are subject to injury, not to speak of the public annoyance.
 Most of the waste from this source can be turned into profitable by-pro- ducts, as Ford and other industrial op- orators are doing. The women of Bir- mingham, who are among the largest sufferers, have expressed interest in a movement to remedy the evil. When a glaring waste can be turned into ma terial profit, while contributing to community prosperity and happiness, it would seem to be time for practical action. This should be led by indus trial interests which would be the largest beneficiaries. The public au- thorities might we'll consider the prop osition from the standpoint of the public health and the public welfare. If both of these interests and agencies should get together on practical ways and means to remedy the condition, it would be very material benefit all around. Such an achievement would not only make Birmingham a much richer community, but at the same time much better place to live in.

republic may be genuinely the choice of the populace concerned. it's forma- tion should be preceded by a popular election.
 As was anticipated, M. Venizelos has been invited to return to Athens to help compose the political upheaval. In the words of Coundouriotis, the re- gent: q hope that Ex-Premier Ven izelos will be able to straighten out the consequences King Georges re- moval may have in foreign countries. Venizelos must return and save the situation, but unfortunately some re- publicans oppose his return" M. Ven- izelos is with his new wife at Paris, and is said to be watching home af- fairs with close attention. His wife is reported as opposed to his return to Greece, fearing lest there be some plot against his life. Such a consid- eration would hardly deter the old warhorse, however, who is much like the Tiger of France in his passionate devotion to duty and contempt for per- sonal danger or discomfort.

NO PooL-RooM SCREENS

Operators of pool rooms are ad- vised by the authorities to remove all partitions preventing law enforcement officers, entering the front door, from seeing all the playing tables at a glance. This is the law enacted 5y the recent legislature, and with the purpose of prohibiting minors from playing in public pool rooms and bill Hard parlors, aiding in enforcement of anti-gambling laws, and so forth. An Impression prevails that more or less gambling, bootlegging and other vio- lations are carried on in some pool rooms, and that with these things shut off from view by screens, partitions and the like, law enforcement is much more difficult. It is alleged that much gambling, liquor selling and other illegal practices are going on m some of the pool rooms of this city. The law preventing partitions should be strictly enforced in the interests of the public. It is for the enforce ment officers now to see that the law is observed.

MEXICAN CRISIS PASSING

Reports concerning the situation in Mexico are incomplete and perhaps not altogether reliable, but it appears that the rebels are gradually being de- feated, and that Obregon's authority is again being established over the disaffected districts. It seems that the insurgents were not unanimous in their support of De la Huerta, nor in the purposes of their uprising. This lack of unity has made the federal govern ment's task all the easier. It is in teresting to note that the Mexican pop ulation as a whole is quiet, and that the people are apparently well-satis- fled with peace and the beginnings of prosperity which Obregon's admins tration has brought them. While pub lie sentiment in Mexico is not a con- crete factor in Mexican politics, yet there is indication that the attitude of the people is going to have more inn portant bearing upon political events n the future than in the past. Those who have once had taste of law and order, and protection of life and prop erty, are not easily turned back into outlawry and banditry. It is hoped that the situation will soon be com posed so that the coming elections may occur on schedule.

GAME BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE

At the annual conference of the American Game Protective Association at New York, it was suggested that hunting privileges in this country be confined mainly to members of hunt ing clubs, as in England and on the continent. Commissioner Quinn of Alabama very properly opposed such a proposal, which is entirely out of har- mony with American ideas. There is fundamental difference in the Brit ish and the American view of the property right in game. In England game belongs to the owner of the property. In America, 1t is public property, the hunting rights being vested in the ownership of the land on which game is found. In England the individual protects his game and makes money or gets pleasure out of it. In America it is protected by state and federal legislation.
 Fortunately the title to game rests in the state under the laws of Ala bama. Shooting areas are not con- fined to club organizations and a few favored individuals, but are thrown open to the people under reasonable restrictions for protection and con- servation. That is one of the great advantages of laws bearing upon the states wild life. The purpose is to protect this asset and conserve it for the peoples benefit. In some of the European countries what are known as hunting drives are not only waste ful, but deprive the people of what would be one of their chief pleasures.
 While all reasonable restrictions for proper conservation of game and fish in Alabama are wise and constructive in their purposes and results, the main object of this aspect of conservation should not be overlooked. It is to pro- tect and propagate this field of pleas ure and profit so far as possible for the people. Sportsmen of Alabama appreciate this, and have done much to encourage the conservation move- ment accordingly. When the people appreciate the purpose of and bene- fits from conservation laws, their CO., operative sympathy and efforts will do much to carry out the program effectively.
