LOVE AND MONEY
by MRS. WALTER FERGTSON-

young girl upon the brink of great decision
says she can not make up her mind whether to marry
the poor man she loves take the one she merely
likes who has money. She to hear from a mar
ried woman the subject
This is a question but the person interested
can decide 1t all depends upon the sort of character
you have If you are girl who feels that she must
be physically comfortable. who can not live without
maid and car, and who loves good times and parties
you had better take the with money
III you have lot of spunl and courage and energy
and determinations carry your veins the blood
OF some brave grandmother who trudged behind COW
cred wagon and bore her babies in the Wilderness
you are not afraid of work and of life then you may
step right out with your poor lover, unafrad
Poverty never matters much to a man and a
woman If they love each other enough and have a
good sound backbone apiece. To the ndoen the self
lsh, the weak, it matters tremendously.
1t is utter folly to say that young people should
never marry until the has money the bank and
a home provided Had that been the case many of us
oughly happy and worthwhile marriages in the land
have been made on the proverbial shoestring
But money matters these days more than it has
ever done before. Only the courageous girl can
start housekeeping in ROOM using the discarded
furniture of her family like her grandmother probably
did. Today girls want pretty homes and good times
But the wise woman will weigh this question very
carefully and pray over it lot. What do you want
most in the world? Love or money?
Be very before you decide definitely When
you have made up your mind, will know yourself
something the ancient philosopher advised.
If you give up your love for money, you may be
very that you could have lived happily in
poverty.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE LAW

This is not a one-man Government and Presi
dent Coolidge not make it by ignoring the
constitutional right of the Senate to pass on his
appointees.
That in effect, is the meaning of a, decision by
Controller General McCarl that Tariff Commissioners
Brossard and Lowell can not draw salaries.

months ago, in July 1925. He Is protege of Sena.
tor Smoot and became member of the Coolidge
bloc in the commission the operations of which in
favor of high tariffs has wrecked the commission
and has nulifed all attempts at scientific tariff
vision.
Reaction to Brossard's appointment can best be
expressed by quoting former Commissioner Culbert
sons letter on the subject
II didn't think Coolidge would do the thing so
rawly. Evidently Brossard Ga former commission

has received his reward"
At any rate, President Coolidge failed to send
Brossards name to the Senate until June e. 1926

his salary and helping to determine whether the

Too Little Athletics

1t is commonly thought that our
educational system includes too
much athletics, too much football,
baseball. basketball. track work and
other sports.
My own notion is that it includes
too little.
Characterization is the real
trouble.
We breed one star, while a thou
sand boys and girls grow flabby.
From an individual standpoint
we have faster runners, higher
jumpers and better swimmers than
we ever did.
From a collective standpoint, the
majority can do nothing but sit on
the benches and yell.

PROBING PRIMARIES

Whether the Reed senatorial committee, lnVes-
gating the habits of the direct primary Is Drought
to Indiana or decides there is little chance OF eX-
posure. some inquiry should be made as to the limi-
tations of the present corrupt practices act
The Indiana law provides for publicity of the
expenses of candidates and has very elaborate ana
definite method of making public the money spent
by candidates.
The purpose of that law, of course is to prevent
the corruption of the primary by the expenditure OF
large sums of money or the influence upon the re-
suits by great privileged interests
Just how far Senator Watson observed the spirit
Of that law is shown by the manner in which the
record is made and the details of his account
The law provides that the treasurer of the club
or committee or the person designated by the candi
date as manager shall file the report in his home
county.
The Watson people organized their club in
this CITY the largest in the State and the center of
interest.
But they picked as the treasurer the collector
Of the gasoline tax 1t was his job to gather in the
money and to spend it.
He is attached to the State Capitol. But for
voting purposes he maintains residence in one OF
the smallest counties in the State, whose county
seat is English
That town holds secrets very we'll. 1t held this
secret so we'll that 1t was only when The Times be-
gan to probe into the primary expenses that 1t
found that the expense of the Watson campaign
was hidden away miles from any daily newspaper
and in the most secluded county seat Of the State.
Certainly the Senator's friends thought little Of
the spirtof the law which is intended to give pub
licty when they filed the list of his expenses in such
G village.
That, on it's face, should excite curiosity if not
suspicion.
Were more needed it may be found in the fact
that this report only the period between the
time that Watson filed his petition candidate and
the date of the primary.
Watson was a candidate for at least one year
in advance of that date, if his own words quoted
by his most friend and his chief sponsor the
indianapolis News, is to be relied upon
For in that newspaper, the foe of Watson for
thirty years and now it's active sponsor, is
printed an interview at the time Watson secured the
undivided time of Mrs. Vivian Wheatcraft as his
campaign manager to get the woman vote
When she announced that she would resign
from the State committee for that work, it was
Senator Watson who declared that for nearly
year she had been the job and had now consented
to give all her time to that work.
If he violated the spirit if not the letter, Of the
law in this matter, the Reed committee may be able
to discover that other arrangements were made in
advance of the fling of his petition.
Watson says this State likes Newberryism, that
it stands for and approves of his vote in favor of the
huge corruption funds
Why did he hide his report in a village? Why
is it limited to the months he in the open
when by his own statement he had workers for
months in advance?
The voters may want to know.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

spread way but in very deep ways
there is an essential disregard Of the
sacredness of human life. The life
of the individual is held very cheap
ly in America at the present hour.
Think also of the need of new
emphasis upon the Seventh Com
mandment as the foundation Of good
relationships between men and wo-
men and happy married life. Can
one believe that the thousands of
people in America who have disre-
garded that commandment and who
have sought to find happiness in
what they called "self-expressfen"
have found any real satisfaction?
Do not the sordid details of marital
unhappiness and of the divorce court
scandals provide a striking COM
mentary upon the meaning of this
commandment and its inherent rela-
tionships to proper relations between
the sexes?
There is need today of interpret
ing the commandment, Thou shalt
not steal" in broader and effective
ways. Too long have we regarded
stealing with the thought of the bur
glar who breaks into the home at
night or the pickpocket who filches
something from a fellow mortal.
Graft Is Stealing
We have not properly questioned
the real rights of property and the
rights Of many to the things that
they call their own. How have these
things been acquired? Have great
fortunes been built up by graft and
dishonesty? Certainly not all great
fortunes have been built up in any
such way.

Jazz Bi-Product

Physical training has ceased to
be popular in our schools and col
leges, except as it furnishes enter
tainment through small groups. So
far as the average goes, it means
little.
1 think this has done more to up
set the equilibrium of present-day
youth than any other one thing.
Our educational system, whether
in school or colleges, furnishes poor
means for the majority to let off
physical steam. Jazz takes the place
of sensible exercise and the mental
monstrosity comes forth as a logical
bi-product

We weigh our children, examine

We do not test their strength or

kind of training.
The normal child is bubbling over

down if he can't do anything else.
The harder the exercise the better
he likes it, and, barring some con-
stitutional weakness, he ought to be

A New Roadster

What is a roadster. even though
new and flaming red, compared to
the applause of a nation, a S10e, 900
offer by the movies, or the assur-
ance of immortal fame as the first
woman ever to have swum the Eng
lish channel?
Yet of all the demonstrations in
her honor when she landed in New
York, it was the gift Of a roadster
that pleased Gertrude Ederle most.
She was thrilled by the shouting
thousands, of course, by the formal
receptions. messages OF congratu-
lation and opportunities to make
money, but it was the roadster that
touched her heart.

Is America Forgetting Last Six Commandments?

| judgment, all have had to do with
much great commercial success.
But, on the other hand, there have
been dishonesties too often in high
places, and men have pursued gain
without regard to the rights OF their
fellows. 1t is in such matters as
this that these Commandments find
their full expression and interpreted
ton in Christians. 1t is not enough
merely to define conventional stand
ards of what constitutes stealing.
All these things must be tested ul-
timately by the spirit of essential
justice and love with Jesus enjoined
as the only ultimate and true justice
between man and man.
Sound Rules
Tp.i modern world might welt
have a new revival also of the Ninth
Commandment. The bearing Of
false witness against ones neigh
Dor is one of the most tragic prac-
tees in modern life, in business, in
politics, yes, unfortunately in re-
ligion, and in the very name of
Christ himself there is all too much
of this bearing of false witness
against ones neighbor.
Can we not also approve the>wis-
dom of the Tenth Commandment?
Covetousness corrupts and destroys
spiritual life and happiness.
If man wants sound rules by
which to guide his life, if society de-
sires true foundations and sound
principles, where can either indi-
vidual or society turn more hope
fully than to the Ten Command
ments interpreted above all in the
light of Christ's teaching and obeyed
with the power that Christ supplies?

When you see youth looking be-

care.
There may be genius in the max
ing. but there is just as apt to be

Neither would have he conceived il

A dead movie star, a new Messiah
and the greatest woman swimmer
of her day-New York has certainly
had plenty of chance to vent its
emotions this week
You wonder how such varying
waves of sentiment can succeed each
other so rapidly without causing
trouble.
Somewhere in the, process it seems
as though there ought to be a clash
or at least a bad jam.
Underneath all the froth and
efferyescence, there must be a great
deal of poise. more. perhaps, than
some of the pessimists like to admit.
