To Laugh or to Cry?

F07OMETIMES we wonder whether we
- ought to laugh or cry. In the grist of
one days news we read of public speaker or
minister pleading for "respect for the law,
all of which is highly commendabe and doubt
less the outcroppings of sincere desire to
make this old world better place in which to
live, and then in the next day $ news we read
this:
eff your wife s hatpin is too long, she is
subject to punishment in Massachusetts.
"Ohios Legislature is considering the pre-
prety of driving donkey past grave yard
faster than six miles an hour.
"The same Ohio Legislature has passed
law prohibiting Sunday dances at which more
than five couples are in attendance.
And so on, and )n-as the story gives list
Of other "blue laws" equally ridiculous, that
are now being enacted throughout the nation in
our new wave Of Legislative fanaticism.
N7ROBABLY the greatest weakness of the
+ law is the law itself. The statute books
are so cluttered with nonsensical foolishness Of
this kind that respect for all law is weakened
These freak statutes sound funny. But
after thinking it over calmly, we wonder if
they aren' really more deserving of our tears
than of our laughter.
CC7UMPTUARY laws are confession Of fail
- ure on the part of their advocates
nothing else. Having failed to convince by
Ior o,oJ foil hoo
pulsion. Force replaces reason as the instru-
ment of effecting their misguided dreams.
There is nothing new in this principle of
trying to force ones views on another;
K only the method is new.
Centuries ago Bruno was burned at the
stake because his views did not conform with
those who held the power. The Christian
martyrs put to death because of their
conflicting beliefs The terrible deeds of the
Spanish Inquisition were lighted up by the
funeral pyres of their helpless victims. Then,
too, there were the witch burners, whom
their fanatical zeal-put helpless and harmless
RQld women to the stake.
But those convinced by force are not con-
y WINGED at all.
We are reminded Of Calico, who, at the
tottering age of SO, was dragged before an as
sembly Of cardinals, august enough to awe
the world itself, and compelled to recant his
theory that the earth moves around the sun.
Calico recanted but, so the story goes, as the
old Italian rose from his knees he mumbled to
himself: cit does move, nevertheless
lT1HUS does slumbering atavism again as
sert itself in the "blue laws" of today as
these moderns turn to the legislatures instead
Of to the stake as their method of forcing their
views-no matter how narrow they may be
on che public at large.
Thus, by sowing the seeds Of ridicule, do
the "blue law" advocates mock real law.
Thus, by embracing their views, does the
law cruelty itself

rs there danger at this time OF

His reply was quick and vigorous.
Financial imperialism Is a stock
phrase of only imaginary significance
The foreign loans of creditor eoun-
tries that have been distributed in
the United States are owned by thou
sands Of investors gathered from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. These loans
are based upon faith in the honor OF
nations and they tend to develop
mutual faith and confidence. These
loans provide needed capital, which,
in the hands of the borrowers. is ex-
pected to produce more than enough
new capital to pay them with in

95 VOTES" ADDED
in CHARITIES DRIVE
Total to Date in 1925 Cam
paign Announced as 3,727.
"Repeaters"' Listed.

During the past "a hours 95 addi-
tional votes have been cast in sup
port OF the work of the Associated
Charities and the Citizens Relief AS
sociation, bringing the total to date
to 3,727. Those in charge of the cam
p-sgn are gratified by the number
Of "repeaters" who. although they
have contributed earlier in the year,
are again casting their votes in this
Easter referendum for the support
Of the family and the child caring
work OF the Associated Charities.
The finance committee indorses the
recent May day message of Herbert
Hoover. president of the American
child Health Association, in which
he says, THE ideal to which we
should drive is that there should be
no child in America that has not been
born under proper conditions, that
does not live in hygienic surround
ings, that ever suffers from under
nutrition. that does not have prompt
and efficient medical attention and
inspection, that does not receive pri-
mary Instruction in the elements of
hygiene and good health"
Many Children in Need.
Unfortunately il is true that today
even at the Nations Capital say
those who know by daily contact with
family conditions. there are many
homes where children are being born
under improper conditions. These
children. say the workers of the AS
sociated Charities, are set in fami-
lies. 1t is TO the family environment
that we must look primarily for i'm
proNements Even where there Is a
worthless father the efforts of the
mother to keep and guard the well
fare of her offspring must be encour-
aged and every possible assistance
given her to make proper home for
her children.
In this connection the Associated
Charities again calls attention to the
fact that last year there were 2,723
children in the families under its
care. The needs of these children not
only in the matter of health, but also
OF parental training and opportunity
for regular attendance at school and
pTepara tion for future citizenship,
we're objects of special consideration
on the part of the social workers Of

Concerns Family as a Unit.

IN social work upon the family as
names used to designate societies
similar to the Associated Charities
located in 327 cities and towns in the
United States and Canada shows that
approximately one-fourth of these

significant that all such organiza-

mon consent regard the family as
the unit in their welfare work
