Hebron has perhaps the best

Rising and Brown are all seasoned
veterans in point of experience and
this trio should cause all sorts OF

Camel VS., Motor Bus

The camel goes the way of the

pete with the motor-driven vehicle.
Buses now cross the Arabian, Cobb

passengers to and from Jerusalem,
the temple of heaven in Picking,
Alexandria, Rangoon and Casa

They are playing a great part in
the development of the Philippine

There are said to be no less than

Nothing has glipped- the human
imagination like this new form of
conveyance. the automobile.
People of some cults and coun.
tries pretend to be against It because
Of it's alleged materialistic influence,
but 1t is poverty speaking. not phil

Whether in New York or Singa-

GOVERNMENT BY CRIME

The grand jury report startles by iss ampAca

1t alleges that officials have been uhMlse anu
probably corrupt in making purchases
That hits at the county government
1t alleges that the election machinery Is corrupt
and that the recent primary was tainted by frauds
which might easily have set aside the VII OF 'ne
people,
That charges anarchy for unless the eecuohs
are free from fraud the people do not rule
1t alleges that the police force has upon II men
who take money for protecting crime ana lawiess'
ness
The report Is In effect an Indictment OF the gov
eminent of Indianapolis, charge that the CITY ~
linked with crime Is not representative OF the people
and is SO framed as to pillage the taxpayer
No more serious charge has ever been made In
any community,
If the facts be true then this city does not rule
itself but Is under a Dictatorship more complete
than that of Lenin Mussoint
The people will not have to look tar Tor the real
source Of all these conditions even II the jury has
apparently found difficult to discover PROOF against
the agents who carry out the general program
It is to be found in the bargains made by the
big politicians with the little bosses
It Is found in the political machine which rules
and which gives orders and makes its bargains ana

Why should not the ballot box suffer or the

The grand jury, unfortunately names no names.
The people will have no difficulty In supplying
some Of them, but they may have more trouble in
applying the remedy.
The grand jury may not be able to correct all
the evils The people may have to sacrifice time and
a few partisan prejudices If they wish to rid the
city from rule by criminals in behalf OF crime.
A first result of this report should be the I'M
mediate organization of group Of men who believe

that the practices of the primary are not re-

s.time for minute men to get guard.

SHAKESPEARE. THE WISE
CRACKER

For long time the WOrl0 In general ana Inc
English speaking portion of it in particular. has been
taking certain gentleman who dwelt on the
banks Of the Avon with too great degree Of seri-
business We refer, of course to VIII Shakespeare,
to whom the centuries have been most kind
Time not only has meowed and enhanced the
gentlemans literary excellence but it has gone on
to give him considerably more credit than his
due as wit and philosopher
Hamlet of course is still Hamlet and the great
ness of that melancholy prince has withstood the
acid test Of plus TOURS We submit that If anything
in the world is calculated to change tragedy into
farce it is the attire of the present day golfer But
Hamlet survived even this.
But ever and anon something OCCURS that raises
a sharp challenge to the bard's reputedly great
knowledge of phenomena Little things have a way
of creeping into the news; very little things, but
SO many that, were we to array them all together,
they would present very formidable REPUTATION Of
some of the shakespearian philosophy
The latest is a piece Of news from Chicago. It
seems that $4,000 boys and girls sang in mighty
chorus during, the ceremonies attendant on the
twenty-eighth international Eucharistic congress.
Now tho leader Of that chorus-the largest, we are
assured, in all hiyory-was not Smith, Perkins, or
Jones, or Laufersweiler. or yet OTaughlan- No In
deed. His name was Singenberger.
The question arises. where under the sun will
you find for the purpose Of leading the worlds 1arg-
est collection of voices finer sturdier quail
fed and more honest name than Singenberger? II
wanted to be instructed in the of being vocal
~ musical, to whom would you go---to named
Hamburger or named Singerberger?
It was Shakespeare7-none other-who once
raised the question to the value Of names Whats
in manner" he asked, "A>rose by any other name
would smell sweet"
That, we maintain, is not philosophy. Or, at
best, It fs pretty shallow philosophy. There are
many names that have very pronounced echoic quail
tiles to them. For instance, there is the word
gooey." We dare you to think OF "gooey" some
thing that is not sticky and gumny. And for the
rose. WELL would its fragrance be sweet II It
called, for instance wiener?
It seems to US that many OF the pearly drops Of
Shakespearian wisdom that have come Keeling and
rocking down the ages Just little "phony,' #
you know what we mean. Were the gentleman alive
today and gave utterance to some OF his famous
phrases. would be willing to wager a weeks SAL
airy against your other golf ball that he would be
set down as something of wsecracker instead OF
oracle.

as member of the railway labor mediation board.
The Job pays $4,000 year. Wilson could use
that $4,000. He is not wealthy man, not even
what Is called we'll to do. AS secretary of labor he
was one Of the few ever to live entirely within
his salary as a Cabinet officer. But he turned down
the Presidents offer, electng to remain In the
for Senator--a Job that pays only $4,000.
1t Is customary to assume that the Republican
nomination IN Pennsylvania Is the same as election.
So true Is this that discussion OF plans for
Ing William s.. Ware when he appears with his ere.
dentials already Is heard.
But, Is this assumption necessarily correct?
William B. Wilson as Senator, would be a credit
to any state in the Union. Three terms as Con-
gresham, elected In a Republican district, and two
terms as Cabinet officer he served, and he Is looked
upon In Washington as man OF exceptional ability
as well as exceptional character student of public
affairs and OF prctical experience, his counsel
was continually sought by Congress as we'll as by
members of the Wilson Administration.
While he had been identified much of his life
with the labor movement, he was recognized a
complete American, not the champion Of one class
Wilson started life as breaker boy In the mines
of Pennsylvania But that doesn't anything,
for William 8. Ware started as poor farmers boy.
Where they started isn't important in this In
stance. but it is important to observe where they
have arrived.
Wilson, by keeping faith with the struggling mil
lions from among whom he came, by keeping faith
with himself and with his boyish ambitions, has
rived at the point where he commands the respect
of his country, well the love and admiration of
those who know him best
Ware, 1t may be, has also remained true to his
ideal. II so, that ideal money. He has got it,
by hook crook; and now has it to spend in I'M
precedented amounts for the title of United States
spect of his country
Pennsylvania may share in the countrys respect
earned by William B. Wilson, she may share
and properly so-in the contempt earned by William
s. Ware.
William B. Wilson offers Pennsylvania way
out of her present unhappy mess. Why not take it.,
Pennsylvania?

WHERE rs WOMAN'S PLACE?

Where is wornans placer" is question that is

In this age of common sense there is only one rea-

Woman's place is where she finds most happiness

The most Of us still believe that woman finds her
best contentment from home life but because hap

A Chiyalrous Age

In spite of the fact that 1t grants
her the vote, that 1t permits her the
privilege of higher education, and
opens the door of most every trade
and profession to her. this age is
more chlvalrous toward women than
any preceding.
Time was when men thought little
Of working and killing their women
supposedly good, Christian men,
too.
Four-6fths Of the victims of the
witchcraft delusion were women,
aiui mostly old women.
During the great religious
prosecutions, more women were
burned and tortured than men.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion,
women have not lost reverence and
respect by claiming their rights.

They Hanged a Woman

They hanged woman in England
on Thursday and news of 1t went
flashing around the world. 1t was
too exceptional an event for ordi-
nary notice, too much out of line
with the attitude Of this day and
generation.
Theoretically, a woman should be
treated just like a man. If guilty of
the same offense, but the majority
of people do not believe 1t and
generally win not practice it.
Even those who still cling to the
notion that capital punishment is
right, cannot help shudderlng at the
thought Of a woman on the gallows.
