A Dual Life.

A wealthy farmer has just been ar
rested at Doylestown, Pa, on a charge
Of banditry, fraud and other crimes
committed in the West. He has, it is
reported, confessed his offenses, and
departed without resistance for the
scene of his lawbreaking, to be tried.
His arrest was total surprise to his
family and neighbors, being the first
intimation of any misconduct on his
part. He had in his own neighbor-
hood been regarded as a man of the
highest integrity and uprightness, and
his occasional absences from home
were ascribed to legitimate business
calls. He had, in short, been leading
a double life, one Of criminality in the
Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, where he
was leader of gang Of swindlers. and
one of strict behavior in eastern Penn
sylvania-
This is not an unprecedented case.
The history of crime Is replete with
such instances of habitual and even
professional lawbreakars maintaining,

BE good and you will be lonesome"
said an old-time humorist. Very few
people admit d disbelief in a Supreme
Divinity, even though admitting hesi-
tation as to an anthropomorphic con-
cept. Voltaire did not go SO far.
Neither did Tom Paine. Neither did
Bob Ingersoll. An uncompromising
atheism finds scant intellectual com

Undoubtedly the funniest thing in
the West, if not in the world, is the
squabble between Seattle and Tacoma
over what should henceforth be the
name Of Mount Rainier. Seattle wants
the IA ,S00-foot peak to retain the name
it's had for 13j years, more or less,
while Tacoma would like TO call it
Mount Tacoma. There is everything
but civil war between Washington
States seaboard cities over the mo-
mentous question. One gathers there
is considerably more danger of blood
shed in the controversy than from the
prospect of Japanese invasion,
which keeps timorous coast souls
awake at night. The gravity of the
situation is such that it may wreck
the political career of meritoriOuS
public man. Representative Albert
Johnson, Republican, of Hoquiam,

author of the new immigration law
will be up for reelection in 1926. Ia
coma threatens to punish him for fail
ing to secure passage in the House of
the bill which Senator Dill, Democrat,
of Washington put through the Sen
ate, whereby Mount Rainier would be
rechristened Mount Tacoma. Mr..
Johnson is not unaware of the peril
he faces II would be q tragi-comic
and meritorious career should be po-
litically hung on the peak of Ameri-
cas- highest mountain.

Commercialism and sentiment are
nicely blended in the Rainier-Tacoma
/ imbroglio. Seattle says the mountain
should continue TO be known as Mount
Rainier, because that's been its title
since the British Capt. Vancouver dis

eenth century and named it after a
British admiral. That is Seattle'S Of

Seattle's glories to the world, with

tant to be submerged in the SYM

went on strike while Mr.. Coolidge was
governor of the Commonwealth.
President Coolidge is the Chief EX-
ecutiVe of the Nation, and Pinchot is
governor of. the State in which the
strike will be located. In Massa-
chusetts Mr.. Coolidge was chief eX-
ecutive of the State with the mayor
of Boston occupying a position some
what similar under him to that now
occupied by Gov. Pinchot. When the
mayor could not handle the situation,
Gov. Coolidge stepped in. But he
waited first TO give the mayor
chance, just as he gave Gov. Pinchot
his chance to handle the coal strike
two years ago.
If Gov. Pinchot tries again to solve
the problem and fails and the Presl-
dent then takes it on successfully,
then Mr. Pinchot's stock goes down,
and the Presidents and Senator Pep
per's go up.
Probably Gov Pinchot has more in
his mind than the senatorial race next
year. Roosevelt, his old leader, is long
since dead. La Toilette, who strove for
the progressive leadership last year, is
gone, too. The election to the Senate
if Gov. Pinchot should be successful
might be merely a stepping stone to
something higher, provided he can
impress himself upon the progressiYes
as a real leader.

Caesar To give him the job.
First, however, he thought il would
be d good plan to visit Epictetus,
famous philosopher, who was ac-
counted a wise man in NicopoIiS. If
any one could tell him how his suit
to Caesar would come out, IEpictetus
would be the lad.
Demetrius might have gone to the
divinators, of course, who professed
to be able to tell what would or would
not happen from examining the en-
trails of birds, but somehow he had
lost faith in these gentlemen.

Accordingly, he set out afoot to the

covered that there We're but few

The philosopher looked up.
Greetings, O Demetrius," he an

silence. Demetrius was a big man"
in Nicopolis, and there was ALWAYS
much talking when one of this class
came to the philosophers porch.
Il go to Rome went on the
visitor, seating himself at a little dis
tance from Epictetus, yet farther
away from the body of pupils. He
made the distinction plain.
What takes you there?" asked the
philosopher, politely.
Il am going to make suit to Caesar
for the position of governor of the
Cnossians," replied Demetrius
"Yes?" logged Epictetus (his pupils
thought somewhat wearily).
Yes" continued Demetrius. What
do you think of it,"
A crowd of revelers went by. their
togas lined with very broad purple
bands, as if they had been magis-
trates or the like Clearly their use
OF this mark was illegal, and no
doubt would be brought up before
the proper authorities very soon.
On the marble porch, however. they
were engaged with more weighty
matters.

you will succeed or fail, 1 have no

'Zeusi He has rule about every
thing" Demetrius thought.
But if you ask me how you will

tetus.
Demetrius leaned forward in his
seat.

"If you have right opinions you
will fare well; if they are false you
will fare ILL.,
Gravely the learners nodded their
heads. This was right Stole doctrine.
