Vanished Frontiers

ToR hundreds of years the American people have
n had frontiers.
L They have had somewhere they could go if the
settlement got too crowded.
There was always space ahead - Government
claims and wild country-to be had for the taking
There was no necessity of crowding, as was the
case in many old world countries. If did not like
his neghbors wanted to get away from people, the
frontier always open
The psychological effect of having somewhere to
go he disked his surroundings great 1t did not
make people feel the necessity of training themselves
to get along with others.
During the centuries the spirit of making the best
of the evils of crowded conditions not being i'm
planted in the American people.
Now the frontiers are gone, the population is in
creang all over the country freedom is restricted and
men are forced to live in closer relation to each other
Perhaps the frontiers in Americas history have
much to do with the fact that the rate of murders here
j greater than in older countries.
The ability to cope with the friction of crowded
conditions has not been handed down from generation
to generation
1t will only come with time.

Omitting Word obey

TT is now proposed by the Protestant Episcopal
Church to recommend at the Trennial General Con-
Il vention of the Church, to be held in New Orleans
in October the omission of the word "obey" from the
marriage ceremony.
This is a belated tribute to progress
The word "obey' was put in the marriage ceremony
at the time when it implied that the prop
erty of man and he could do with her he pleased
also with her property.
The progress of mankind has gone beyond this 1t
is now recognized that is mistress of her own
property and does not have subject the control of to

She should also be the mistress Of her own body,
and if she to be faithful to man. is but fair
that he should vow the
The rights of men and women are equal, and the
pledge of a man should be the that of woman
AS Bishop Slattery, of Massachusetts, said:
"The life which is entered into in marriage is a
life of mutual consideration and obedience and not the
submission of one to the other one side only"
The omission of the word "obey" will go far toward
placing the marriage contract upon and sensible
basis and toward alternating the unfortunate condition
about the double standard" at present. The reform
should be adopted

Inconsistency OF
Europe

~ UROPEAN nations which owe US money and have
n not yet funded their debts seem to be slowly
coming to the realization that the United States
does not intend to make reductions in the principal due
In the matter of interest and the interest rate as
well as in the extension of payment sixty to eighty
years. some of foreign debtors still look for conces
sions.
AS purely business proposition it would be unjust
for this country reduce the principal of the debt owed
by France for example in view of the settlement made
by England.
Nevertheless in France it has been persstently
rumored that large part of her debt to the United
States might be Cancelled That belief founded upon
no more than loose talk by Americans abroad who were
given credit for knowing this counry secret attitude
on the debt question.
The result has been unfortunate. France, self
deceived has blown hot and cold in the breath At
one and the same time the United States has been called
upon to show generosity unheard of in international
affairs and denounced nation of shopkeepers with
no thought above money-making.
The ludcrous inconsistency of that part OF the
French press which depicts this country closefsted
grasping Yankee and then calls upon to show ber-
atty that would prodga to such character so
astounding among people usually logical that it seems
doubtful whether France did sincerely believe that
we were going to cancel her obligations.

this sort seems actually to dissolve

You must learn to choose your
foods. 1t is not necessary to starve
yourself or to grow weak from the
need of food. When you study foods,
it does not take long to find out
which ones must be taken sparingly
because they are rich in fats or
carbohydrates. At the same time
you will learn which foods may be
taken in unlimited quantities.
1t is a common mistake for fleshy

is unwise to drink much at meals.
The reason for this is not because
the water "dilutes, the gastric
juices" but because drinking a
quantity of water helps you to swal-
low a lot of food you never would
take if it had TO be put through the
process Of chewing and mixing with
saliva to prepare it for swallowing.
Water helps to dissolve the waste
and to put into solution materials
which should be taken from the
body. Some Of these, IL retained,
many retard the assimilative pro-
ccsses and this may assist the addi-

Killing a Boy
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

body wants anything but justice
done to the offender.
The question is, what is justice!
Capital punishment has more the
effect of being retaliation or
vengeance than justice.
Justice seeks to find the cause
of the crime and remove it.
Such thing as paying for crime,
Of course, the crime being murder
or arson or any such thing, is i'm
possible. The business of making
man pay for his misdeeds be-
longs to the Creator and not to
some of His subjects.
1t is the duty of society merely
to conserve itself, to keep the fabric
of civilization as intact as pos
sible.
This may often call for the tenn
porary removal of an offender, but
it is a question whether society is
capable of taking the position OF
the supreme judge and asking for
the criminals life.
The facts in the case seem to
show that killing a criminal does
not have a deterrent effect upon
other criminals, and it certainly
does the man himself no good.
When the question of vengeance
is eliminated in the punishment Of
crime, all that is left is the pro-
lection of society. The judge is
not to look for vengeance and call
that justice, but is rather to look
for those elements which may in
jure society and remove them.

Wayside Wisdom

Never-changing Types.

Never-changing Types.
The man who plays Napoleon upon
the stage or screen
Selects two buttons on his vest,
and shoyes hand between;
Down DER his jutting brow he pulls
a little wisp Of hair,
And thus, he thinks, he gets the
true Napoleonic air.
The histrionic sharper's clothes
must always fairly shrek;
A long cigar is always stuck far
back inside his check;
A prominent and hawk.like beak
with his ensemble goes,
And how he ever got that way the
good Lord only knows.
The stage reporter always has a
notebook in his hand,
But why he is depicted thus I can
not understand;
] daresay that almighty few re-
porters could get by"
If always they were like the ones
the actors typify.
The stage musician always wears
heavy mop Of hair,
Though many an honest fiddler has
a Uranium that's bare;
The poet Of the stage must have a
sad and hungry look,
One finger propped against his jaw
his elbow on a book.
The senator who walks the boards
must wear a long-tailed coat;
The farmers Whiskers must be like
those on the William goat;
You can't efface the leOpard's spots
nor change the zebra's stripes,
And managers, when choosing casts,
all still revert 10 types.

Out in Pennsylvania the other
day a boy was sentenced to death.
He received his sentence with
out any visible show of emotion be-
yond twisting his hands in which
he held his hat and shifting his
feet uneasily like a schoolboy being
reprimanded by his teacher.
He is sixteen years old and was
sentenced to death for the murder
of his grandmother on September
5 last.
There were tears in many eyes
and sobs from many bosoms, but
none from William Cavalier, the
boy who was sentenced to death.
When it was all over he walked
calmly out of the room and was
soon busy playing the photograph.
Bulwer Lytton once said that
about the worst use that could be
made of man was to kill him.
1t seems strange that society can
find nothing else to do with this
boy except to take his life.
He is evidently a defective. No
man with all his mental faculties
would have done the deed that is
attributed to him.
Very probably he should be
isolated and watched by the proper
authorities for some time, but for
the state to take his life is severe
shock to the sentiments of the
country.
The objection to capital punish
ment is not based on mere senti-
mentalism. The man who violates
the rules of the society in which
he lives must pay the penalty. No.

Mind Analysis Is Needed
At Times.
By L. E. Bisch

As the term implies, psycboanaly-
sis means an analysis of the psyche,
or mind. 1t is not an ism" or
"ult,r but a practical, scientific pro-
cedure by which thoughts and emo
tons can be disentangled and made
plain. Several hundred books and
articles have already been written on
this interesting and valuable branch
Of psychology, but the subject is
only in its infancy.
Up to the advent Of psychoanaly-
sis the study Of the mind was large
" in terms Of what the mind does
in its output. With psychoanalysis
the viewpoint shifted. Although still
interested in what a person says,
does or thinks, the stress was laid
upon the reasons why he says, does
and thinks those things. Cause in
stead of result became the watch
word! The ever. present problem in
psychoanalysis is Why!
The main theory underlying the
psychoanalyic hypothesis is repres-
sion. Analysts believe that we are
continually depressing our funda'
mental and instructive emotions, es-
pecially in the love.life and self
preservation spheres, in order TO

Some of these repressions 20 back

one realize how much childhood

Something to Think About
Standards.
By BRUNO LESSING

Take the "best seller" in htera-
ture and compare it with the work

SAINT, Stevenson, Thackeray, Keats,
Dickens-go through the list Of lit.
erary classics for yourself and you
surely must see the freshness of it.
This modern work will not and can
not last. 1t is like a piece Of color
ed glass that you buy in a depart
ment store compared with the
stained glass of medieval cathe--
drals.
1t is exactly the same with paint
ing. The art Of painting runs in
cycles. There are periods in his
tory which produce great painters
and there are periods when the art of
painting is at a low ebb. But there
are always painters. And they
keep on painting.
Today, painting Is at low ebb.
After a glance at any modern ex-
hibition it is like breath of fresh
air to gaze upon a collection of old
masters.
1t is always wise to keep the old
standards in mind. Do your best
to initiate them or to improve upon
them or to assert your artistic soul
in your own way. You may accom-
plish something that will last.
But grasp these standards first.
Learn their significance. Fs'
miliarize yourself with the great
work that has been done before you
set out to perform the great work
that you plan to do.
And, if anyone speaks about the
Emusic of the spheres" concentrate
your thoughts upon the music of
the spheres" instead Of butting in
with the information that you man
