Didn't Seem Right


1t was early summer and outside
the giant windows robins were warb-
ling, and butterflies were already
Tapping their wings through the
golden rise of the sun.
1t didn't seem right. this killing
on such a beautiful morning.
An eternity went by.
1 felt strange things coming IN and
out of my cell.
Hes in the little house next
door" l mumbled to them.
I rolled tSShnother cigarette and
smoked and smoked and smoked.
The clouds drifted between me
and the light and startled me.
Then came hideous yell from a
thousand throatsl
The name of God was blasphemed!
The name of Christ, who died for
such men who owned those threats,
was turned to blaspheme!
The fatal light in front of me was
dim. dim. dim.

To whom does treasure trove
belong?
In the United States there is con
siderable doubt as to who is entitled
to treasure trove. One leading de
cision holds that the finder is en-
titled as against the owner of the
land on which the treasure is found
but a contrary case in the same vol
ume of law reports gives it to the
landholder; still another case holds
that the owner of the soil acquires
no title as such. 1t is a general
rule Of law that the finder of u
treasure has no title as against the
owner.

What is ranscendentaism?
This teaches that the human mind
has a knowledge of its own, indie
pendent of the senses or of the ma
terial world; that certain ideas of
right and wrong, for instance, of
good and evil, of God, duty, of free
dom, of Immortality, are innate in
the soul, a part of it's very being;
that such ideas go beyond expert
ence, transcend life. This was the
philosophy Of Emerson, Thoreau.

man Clark, Margaret Fuller, among
others.

Debate Not to Blame

The Mellon bill, the insurgents
bill and the Democratic bill have all
been for months in preparation. Ev-
cry intelligent Congressman and
Senator has made up his mind on
each long ago. Time presses. The
thing to do is to pass the measure
on which they have agreed. Prob
ably there is no measure before the
two houses on which debate would do
less good than on the tax bill. The
bill finally passed may be defective,
and probably win be; but the de-
fects are not such rs would be likely
to be cured by debate The critics
who lament lack Of debate are cam
oufaging. They want a different
bill. But the bill to pass is a mat
ter for Congress to decide. and Con-
gress is entitled to frank criticism
and not this idle lamentation of lack
of elaboration. There has been de-
liberation enough.

All Depends ON Bill

Debate may or may not be a good
thing. We hear and read bitter
criticism Of Congress when it de-
bates at much length. Legislators
are accused of killing time in de
bate, instead of doing business. It
all depends on what sort Of meas

By HERBERT QUICK

The editors and others who are
railing at both houses of. Congress
for the tax bill, which seems to be
in process of passage, make a great
TODD because it is passed with so
little debate
They would have complained quite
as bitterly if the same bill had been
enacted after months of argument.
They want the Mellon bill. They
condemn the passage of any other
measure. If Congress had put the
Mellon bill through without a days
debate, these people would have
commended the action of Congress
as businesslike, prompt and in every
way commendable.
The criticism is not sincere.

time and place has told the right
girl that she looked like and was
worth anything from a million dol
lars UP. Certainly lot of them
meant it-at the time of saying it
and doubtless, there are today quite
a few, what with spring coming on

the assertion that is to follow. But
it is true, nevertheless, so far as in
trinsic values are concerned.
There is only one woman in the
world today whose life actually and
intrinsically is worth 100000. She
lives here in Chicago, and she is the
owner and directing head of one of
the citys biggest department stores.
She is Mrs Mollie Netcher Newbury.
Documents have just been signed
making Mrs. Newbury the most
heavily insured woman in the world.
To the $1.200.000 insurance she has
been carrying she has added $1,S00,-
900. The next heavily insured woman
is said to be Mrs. Marshall Field III,
with a million dollars less than Chi
cagos business empress. Mrs. Field
is not in business.
Mrs. Newbury was a dress buyer
some years ago, having worked up
from the proverbial bottom of the
ladder. She married the owner and
