For the heavy wash
and for '~'~ash-bowi''
laundering
Washes out the stains
along with the dirt

TLOTHES can now keep their just
~ like-new whiteness until they are
worn out. They need no longer turn
yellow after a few washings.
Ordinary methods-bar soaps, soap
flakes, soap powders-ieave some de-
post of fat, resin, or w~aterglass on
the clothes. It won't all rinse out, and
this Is what turns clothes yellow.
With DUE the clothes can't turn
yellow. DUE is a pure CASTLE soap
preparation containing no resin or
waterglass. DUE goes into the clothes;
sends out the dirt; then rinses out
completely and quickly. Nothing is
left on the clothes to yellow them.
DUZ whitens the clothes
just as the sun does
While DUE is washing out the dirt,
It also takes out the yel1owness &C.
cumulated from past washings-and
removes all stains, except rust.
Yet DUE cannot injure either the
fabric or the skin.

The action of DUE, while washing.
the clothes, is the same action you
get when the wash is put out in the
sur to dry. Whether the clothes are
being washed in DUE or dried in the

bleach. The method Is both natural
and harmless.
DUE also sterilizes = giving the
clothes that sweet, fresh air smell
which means real through and
through cleanness.
For every kind of Laundering
For the heavy family wash and for
dainty laundering as well, use DUE.

problem is one of world markets they
want higher prices. and seem to be gen.
orally in favor of any governmental
means of gratifying that desire, even if
the qualification be only temporary. They
do not consider the broad economic eff
feet of artificial boosting" of prices.
The relationship between supply and de-
mand, from the world standpoint, seems
to mean nothing to them.
Those who oppose government price
fixing, or other gratuitous ways of in
creasing prices when demand lags be-
hind supply, are not initiating against
the farmers interests, although they are
often held in as much contempt as
though they were. They are simply as
serting a fact which ought to be self
evident-namely. that there can be no
successful interference with economic
law. When any attempt at such inter-
ference is made, benefits that may &C
crue are only specious; they are more
than offset by losses in the long run.

AID THAT COMES HIGH

In a recent address before the South
western Business Congress, James r.
Howard, president of the National
Transportation Institute, said that the
public fears the possibility of govern
ment price-fixing. If he meant exactly
what he said, then he must think that the
American people attach great signifi-
canoe to the rantings of few agitators.
The public does fear government price
fixing, but the possibility of reversion
to wartime methods of helping" the
farmer seems so remote that few people
nowadays are considering it.
A few men are still advocating cur-
rency initiation, but the majority OF citi-
zens have too much confidence even in
those whose positions depend upon poll
tics to entertain the fear that the United
States government, under either Repub-
lican or Democratic control, will take
the cite from Germany or any other
country that has inflicted upon itself the
"more-money" doctrine.
However, Mr.. Howard made some as
sertions which the nations lawmakers
would do we'll to consider when they
come to "do something" for the farmers.
Most OF the proposals which have been
made to Congress, or for the benefit of
that body, in behalf of the farmers dur
ing the last few years have been predi-
Gated upon the idea that the government
should treat the tillers of the soil as its
special wards. Gratuities of various
kinds have been advocated. In few, il
any, instances have truly economic rene
dies been suggested; nearly all plans
have contemplated artificial relief fol-
the farmers-at the expense of all other
classes.
Mr.. Howard pointed out that while
consumers costs have doubled, and ir
some cases trebled, without resulting ir
general complaints. farmers costs
aside from those they share with con.
sumers in general-are now about al
pre-war levels, and even lower in some
places.
This comparison does not, of course
solve the problem presented by thu
cheapness of agricultural commodities
But it does indicate the absurditv O
voting gratuities for the farmers. 1t /

RELIGION AND VIOLENCE

Another outbreak of fanatical Moros
in our Island dependencies has resulted
in ;ke killing of constabularv officers and
men together with three teachers. The
dispatch adds. that the attack was in
spired 'by religious fanaticism."
1t is difficult indeed for any normal
person to understand how religion and
violence can be associated. Of course
the Moros are savages and uncivilzed
to an extreme degree. They do not
know any better and are easily excited
to such crimes as the ones they have
just perpetrated.
But throughout the ages. there have
been periodic outbursts of violence, all

of them associated with so-called relig-
ion, yet to the average person nothing
could be more repelant than associa-
ton of thoughts of violence with
thoughts of Supreme Being and a
peaceful hereafter.
Many people have only the most vague
religious ideas and principles. Seem
ingly it never occurs to them that there
are almost as many religious beliefs in
the world as there are people and that
no two people are able to think exactly
alike on any single question. But it
would seem that if there was one point
on which normal minds should agree
it would be that any religion worthy OF
the name should eschew all forms of vio-
lence and retaliation. Force has never
succeeded in changing religious beliefs.
All it ever has done, has been to sup-
press for brief periods of time, the free
practice OF religious worship by those
inundated.
The more unenlightened men are. the
greater sway they usually give to their
passions and the less appeal religion
makes to their better natures. 1t is
not surprising in view of history, that
untutored savagcs such as the. Moros,
should wage religious vendetta, a sort
of "holy war against the Philippine
constabulary but it is surprising indeed.
that in highly civilized places through
out the world, similar outbreaks of re-
ligious hatred are manifested. One sect
is prosecuted in one country; another
sect in another country. One individual
it attacked here; another is attacked
there.
Yet learned men long ago realized
that violence when associated with re-
ligion, gained naught. In fact it long
ago fell into disrepute as the surest evil
dence of a lack of religion worthy OF
the name and an indication of the low
ering of mental standards.
The best and only sure method of re-
ligious attack is by precept and example.
Soldiers of this creed or that creed, fight
the only winning battle when they so
order their lives that others will be at
tracted to their views by the evidences
of their sincerity and charity. 1t was
this method that overcame the great
Roman empires persecution of the early
Christians, when sword and fagot fell
before the first advances of Christianity.
There is nothing spectacular nor dra-
matte in that sort of violence if such it
can be called. Knights of the faith do
not go about in regalia of war, with
sword, spear or gun for that sort of a
contest. 1t is the meek spirit, the pa
tient toll. the unfailing courage and the
ever helping hand of the religionist, be
his creed what it may, that wins re-
cruits to his cause and scatters the ranks
of his enemies.
1t is remarkable that after so many
centuries have passed, each with his
tory of a religious cause lost through
violence, that men still think they can
perpetuate their beliefs and ideals by
doing bodily injury to. non-believer.
Such adherents are handicap to any
creed because they brand it with the
stigma of ignorance and fanaticism which
can not flourish in any other soil.

A TEMPORARY FAILURE

II isn't often that a wholesome ex-
ample for the conduct of life is furnished
by a professional stock-market Spectator
or agent for spectators. When one does
some from that source it cannot but be
Conspicuous because it is somewhat OF
a novelty. Recently young man went
broke in the brokerage business in New
York: There have been many failures
of this kind during the. last year or so,
but most of them sem to have been &C
companied or followed by actions which
were not morally exemplary, to say the
least But this young man was notable
exception to the rule.
His case is all the more remarkable
because he was identified with the ex-
freme1y wealthy. Whether he had ever
possessed great wealth in his own name,
the dispatches reporting his failure and
his subsequent actions omitted to say.
However, he was cousin, of one of the
wealthiest men in New York, and it is
to be assumed that he had been brought
UP in opulence and knew little if any
thing of the hardships Of the poor. Ger
tainly he had never been classed as a
Taborer"
Did he try to abscond with other peo-
Piles money? No. Then perhaps he
fell into black despair, revolving from
the prospect Of earning living by the
sweat of his brow, or of having to take
up an occupation that would ruin his So
oial position, and jumped into the river,
or shot himself through the heart, rather
than face the future a disgraced man.
Not that either.
He went to work. Before he could do
that he had to join union, but he didn't
balk at that. He set out to make the
best of his lot, and from all accounts
he did it graciously.
( He climbed upon the seat of cab
| and became a part Of New York's trans
! portation system. Of course he attracted
attention, as he was we'll known about
town. On his first trip he was followed
by reporters and photographers. Ap-
parently he did not make a scene
or even protest, pretending that his dig
nitv was being outraged. He accepted
the situation for what it was, and went
about his business of earning living
The step down from wealth and social
position to poverty and no social posi-
ton was sudden one, but he had the
heart to withstand the shock.

of high positions that have been thrust

versity strikes them hard. They are

WHEN WINE WASN'T BOOZE"

Latest reports have it that the project
OF transferring the remains of Gene, al
Oglethorpe from England to Georgia
will net be carried out its chief propon-
emt having voluntarily" abandoned j:
in the face q English opposition. New
we lint that give 4 W, nien rnaa Il
brainstorm? Possibly the people of
Georgia are so glad that their forbears
got away from England that they are
anxious to leave well-enough alone. But,
on the othsr hand. one might think that
after living in the land of the free and
the home of the brave for century and
a half they would take delight in twist
ing the lions tail. How comes it that
Georgians quit, the minute they arc
crossed by the country from which their
forefathers fled to escape Imprisonment
for poverty?
If it would be unjust to Georgians
to ascribe to them any inordinate meek
ness in the face of English criticism,
then possibly prohibition sentiment
had something to do with the abandon
'ment of the project. That is. "pro-
hibition" sentiment in the enlightening
light, as it were, of history.
To make this theory plausible, it is
necessary to assume that certain Geor-
gians, having scanned the history of their
state, regarded General Oglethorpe as
a pioneer prohibitionist. He was that,
all right, and a pioneer abolitionist as
well. He didn't believe in either rum
slavery or human slavery.
In the articles of colonization, or
whatever he called his prospectus. Gen
eral Oglethorpe stipulated that Georgia
should be both Gree" and "dry." A
century or so later, Georgians fought
on the side of slavery. But of course
General Oglethorpe had nothing to do
with that. However, history spills the
prohibtionists' beans by recording the
fact that no sooner had Oglethorpes
proteges got good and settled in their
new home than here came from the old
country big ship laden with enough
wine to keep. their thirst quenched until
they could start vineyards of their own.
And history is eloquently silent as to
whether the head of the colony kicked
in the bungs and let the beverage tine
ture the ocean waves. Inasmuch as the
early Gcorgians didn't experience an cpl
demic of poisoning, it seems logical to
assume that the general himself wasn't
averse to glass or two of good vintage
In other words, the founder of Geor-
gia was a pioneer prohibitionist, not a
fanatic. He believed in temperance, moi
in teetotalism. Apparently he had nc
objection to light wine. and perhaps he
wouldn't have interdicted ale and beer
except on the ground that they would
take up space that might better be saved
for wine.
So, it wouldn't do at all for present
day prohibitionists to sponsor the prof
ect of removing General Oglethorpe':
remains from England to Georgia. Tn
fortunately for them, he was the wrong
kind of prohibitionist.
