OH FUDGE!

OH FUDGE!
 By D. W. Faubion My Dotty has dimple sweet, She has winning smile, And Dotty wears her apron with A dashing lot of style; Though she may not be pretty. For I'm no unbiased judge, I think the very picest sight Is Dotty making fudge! While 1t is cooking on the stove We have little chat: I clean forget the process While my heart goes pity pat! My love keeps growing warmer Till she cries, Its going to scorch. And makes me haul the kettle out And beat 1t on the porch, And then we sit and spoon bit Until the candy cools, We bill and coo and kiss bit Just like two silly fools; Tn solid comfort I exclaim. Gee whiz. This Is the life!" I fear I'm sadly out of date. For Dotty is my wife.

WHAT OF THE MOTHERS
 OF BANDITS?

Unhappy home conditions; 8 hopeless future; yet the convict who told his Oregon hostess the story of his childhood remembered his mother and how she had pray cd that he would grow up into a good man.
 With three others he had shot his way to freedom from an Oregon penitentiary, killing two guards and having one of his pals mortally wounded. The three Convicts stop ped at a farmhouse and remained there all day, gaining meals and shelter at the point of guns yet treating their hostess kindly. It was a unique achievement of journalism when the New York World induced her to telegraph her story of the day.
 It was one of the men speaking, quoted by the hostess:
 "Whcn I vas a baby about
 four weeks old -- my mothet
 told me this - I was very sick
 and my mother did not know
 whether I was going to live or
 die, SO she walked the floor
 with me in her arms worry
 ing about whether 1 was going
 10 die. Finally she knelt down
 and prayed 10 God that if was
 going to grow up 10 be a good
 boy 10 let me live, but If I was
 going 10 grow up 10 be trou-
 he and worry to her, take me
 now while 1 was young and
 innocent, And nov, look at me,
 a convict. with a long record of
 crime behind me. - I began to go wrong when I was twelve
 years old"
 Tho foregoing moroly represents the loving attitude of the mothers of all bandits and conyicts - when they were babes. The mother of every bandit thought well of hoI child and prayed 10 heaven that he would grow up a good man. Yet many q mother has unwittingly ant thourhtloeslv helped to thwart thi' normal wish from coming true.
 How and when did this handi begin going wrongH" He told th' story. of his first ofrenso at tho ag' of twelve.

But You Couldn't Blame Japan
By Chester H. ROwell

There is probably truth in the rumor that Japan pro-
poses to impose foreigners desiring to o" land IN Japan
whatever conditions their countries impose on JAPANESE
but there could be criticism if it were done.
In fact there could be complaint If Japan were TO
enact the duplicate of the American immigration Ia"
For that matter, American states might repeal their AMEN
land laws in the exact manner Japan has done
There is an old alien land law in JAPAN which has been
ostensibly repealed, with the following exemptions:
That the repeal shall not be effective until proclaim
ed by imperial rescript (Which has been done)
g. That the privilege of land owning shall then extend
ony to nationals which grant the like privilege
to Japanese. q,
g. That shall not apply to the island of Hokkado nor
any of the other parts of Japan where there any land
available any territory which has been may be des
ignated as military district
A. Nor all except by authorization of the home sec
retary. ::
With these exceptions, the alien land law Of Japan Is
hereby repealed!
The Rrvanes will have to excommunicate the Episcopal
church or at Chicago diocese of it, not Christian
At the annual convocaton of the diocese Bishop Ander
son landed evolution declared fundamentalism ou OF

Doubtless good bishop would concede the title OF Chris

In New York

New York, Feb. 18.-There is no

quite as stirring as ferry ride
through the fog. Pilots cannot see
more than few feet, yet they
know the river and harbor are
aswarm with craft.
Direction is found by sound. The
various wharves have bells Of vary
ing tone and the ferry pilot recognize
ing his own particular bell heads in
that direction.
All craft keep up an incessant
blowing Of whistles and ringing OF
bells. They proceed at very slow
pace. >,
All Of which creates for the ferry
passenger an atmosphere of great
suspense. Some great bulk is likely
to loom up at the side of the boat
any minute. There will be screech-
ing of whistles and the churning Of
water as the vessels are thrown into
r.verse. There may be collision,
passengers being hurled to the decks.
But the thrill is in putting foot
ashore after the ride.
Add inconsequentiai statistics:
There were 84,137 fewer trunks and
parcels handled at the Pennsylvania
terminal here during 1924 than in

NOMINATION OF MIR. WARREN

There is little sympathy among the people toward the
attitude of the United States senate which continually seeks
to block President Cooldges cabinet appointments There
is now before the senate the nomination of Kellogg Warren
and Jardne The attack upon Charles B. Warren is part
and parcel of the political bunk of r. M laFollette urged
against so-caed bg business" which thoroughly
repudiated at the polls last November The Democrats IN
the senate have sided with the LaFoette bloc to oppose
Coolidge as long possible despite the fact that the nation
is soldlv behind him and most emphaticay rejected
the little band of insurgents who under the rules of the
continue to embarrass President Coolidge IN the
selection of his personal appointments.
Unless there serious charges against mans honesty
and capacity fer the position for which he selected, ne
should be confirmed especially when such appointments
Germ the Cabinet.
The fact that Warren been president of cor
poraton should disquafy him He has severed all
connections corporations where such interests might
conflict with his duty to the administration None OF the
charges affects Nh Warren's integrity or his ability
It was evident 1T election that the senate leader
