THEY ALL
WANT OUT

T~HE State pardon board at
its January session will
~ consider 161 petitions for
clemency filed by inmates of Indi-
ana penal institutions. This is one
of the largest dockets in the his
tory Of the board.
Apparently about all the pris-
oners now confined want out i'm
mediately.
The list discloses some interest
ing details. Ten murderers. who
have been imprisoned from one to
seventeen years under life SEN
tence. believe they have expiated
their crimes. An auto thief, who
has served less than two months
Of a three-year term. petitions for
release. A moonshiner after two
months OF one-year term feels he
should be liberated. And so it
goes.
Probably not many Of the petit
TONERS will gain freedom. Indiana

gubernatorial chair. But some of
the pleas viii be granted.
The fact that every month so
many clemency petitions are filed
proves that Imprisonment Il a real
punishment. 1t is society's most
effective weapon to discourage
malefactors.
Governor Fuller of Massachus-
,etts, In addressing his legislature
the other day. said: "Misdirected
sympathy and the highly devel-
oped expertness Of penologists, re-
formers and parole advocates who
have lost sight OF the protection of
the public and concentrated on
the reformation of the criminal
have aided to increases crime"
He puts in neatly. The answer
to crime is punishment, imprison-
mont. Il criminal behind the bars
can't practice his profession and
the public is protected.

THE CHARLESTON
To the Editor of The Times

To the Editor of The Times:
Sometime ago I read an announce
ment of a dance to be given at a
public dance hall, saying plainly
that no Charleston would be allowed.
On the same page was another an
nouncement Of an entertainment the
same night at Shortridge High
School saying prizes woul6. be given
to the best Charleston dancer.
Is 1t possible that our schools are
teaching something that the much
abused public dance hall condemns?
1t is true that the halls Of learn
ing of our fair city are inferior to
those of Virginia? Here is what VIII
liam and Mary College of Williams
burg, Va, has to say: THE Charles
ton, the latest step to invade the
dance hall, is barred. Dance should
emphasize grace and beauty, and as
the latest dance fad preserves
neither, 1t should have no place on
the program of college dances.

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson


ri HE Rt. Rev. Monsignor G. f.
Thomas lately told an audi
- ence that Woman wants to-
day just what she has always
wanted, marriage with some man
who'll make her obey"
And the rector is correct. Women
do want marriage, and they do want
husbands who can exact obediencs.
But the trouble ia. the standards OF
matrimony and OF husbands have
so changed.
Just any sort OF marriage will
never satisfy the modern woman.
She wants a marriage that brings
into her life some OF the romance
OF which she has dreamed, some Of
the companionship which her heart
Graves. some Of the happiness for
which she has always longed. She
is never satisfied with mere phys
ical union, but would have that
finer contact Of the spirit.
For our grandmothers marriage
often meant only q material homo.
a robf over their heads. bread to
eat, and children to cuddle in their
arms. And many Of them found
their only compensation In the last
mentioned JOY.
Because of these changed
standards it is much more difficult
to be good husband in this day
than it was back in the matrimonial
" prehistoric age Of Victoria In
fact, even a prejudiced observer
must sometimes feel compassion for
men, who find their traditions so
upset, and who are obliged to face
so many new conditions.
But all the wailings we. DO win
never change the facts. 1t Is no
longer possible for man TO neglect
his wife and homo and expect to
keep them. 1t is not possible for
him to act with no consideration foI
the feelings Of the family, to DO UNI
duly stingy with them financially, to
impose his will too heavily upon
them, to be an autocrat unless he
does so with Justice. He can no
longer rule unless he rules with
love.
And this is why we live IN such
time Of matrimonial stress Too
many people do not comprehend
what is a very obvious state OF
affairs. For while the modern
woman has both feet planted very
firmly in this twentieth century and
is true to its standards, too many
poor husbands, who like to Jazz and
joyride and take unto themselves
all the privileges OF the more adj
vanced age still exist, as far as their
marriages are concerned, back In
the dark ages.
No matter how smart a man you
may be you can't expect to run your
office and your stenographer by
1925 methods and your wife ana
children according to the stancarda
OF 1850.

~ GREAT audience is assured
al for the Columbia Club next
l Thursday afternoon when
Ona B. Talbot will present Leo, Jan
and Mischief Cherniavsky in recital
as the second Intime Concert Of the
season.
The Cherniavskys' dash and the
magnetism of the young artists
bring new glamour to their inter
probation of the great masters
works. Not only is their collective
technique something to marvel at,
but their most precious gift is the
wonderful inspiration which they
are able tc draw from their music.
These triumphant young, but
great, artists, have radiated their
power over Ave continents, and the
stories of their adventures sound
like the Arabian Nights"
Born in Russia OF parents unable
to procure for them an expensive
musical education, they struck out
as concert artists at about the age
that the ordinary child comes to the
use of reason and for twenty years
they have carried the flag Of their
genius into twenty-eight countries.
1t is unique to find three great
soloists such as Leo. Jan and Mis-
chel Cherniavsky combining regular
ly to interpret trios. Their program
always commences with trios, then
each Of the soloists makes his APP
pearance and the combination
brings it's dynamic program to a
conclusion with a final trio.

m AUL Of Tarsus had motor
Nj iously bad reputation among
the first Christians in Jerus-
alem and Judea. He had been
viciously prosecuting them. The
story of his conversion on the road
to Damascus is familiar. At Damas-
Gus was a certain disciple named
Ananias, to whom the Lord ap-
peared in a vision, directing him 20
go and meet Saul upon his arrival
in the city. This Ananias was afraid
to do. saying, II have heard by
many of this man, how much evil
he hath done to thy saints at Jerus-

las that there was no longer any oc-
casion to fear this man, "for, be
hold, he prayeth." That was enough.
Ananias was satisfied. Nobody is
afraid of praying man.

1t is charged that he was patrol

He has been before the board of

ing. But he has always gained
reinstatement. Off again, on again,

And these are the sort OF fell

straining every nerve to enforce

statute.
Or course, the great majority Of
policemen are upright and con-
scientious. observing the dry law
themselves and seeking to en-
force 1t impartially. But the
actions of s. few thirsty officers
bring the whole force into disre-

Editor of the Congregationalist
For one who would understand
the origin and the growth OF the
Christian church in its early days,
and, in fact, the process by which
the church has grown from a small
group of disciples gathered round a
teacher to a worldwide Chrjstendom
formally, at least, acknowledging
Christ as it's head, there is no more
instructive chapter than this in
which this lesson is found.
Here, very simply and yet with
graphic vividness, is told the story
how Jesus began to gather around
Him disciples. And here also is re-
vealed that impulse which has al
ways been at work in those who
have been most truly Christian when
they have found Christ themselves
to bring others to Him.
The very keynote of this lesson is
found in the forty-second verse in
the words, "He brought him to Je-
sus.' The reference is to Andrew,
who, having found Christ, had gone
and found his brother, Simon Peter,
and brought him to the Master.
Going for Nathaniel
A few verses farther on we read
how Philip found Christ and imme-
diately went to find Nathaniel that
he might bring him also to Jesus.
The brotherhood OF Andrew and
Philip, a very effective organization
in the modern church in interesting
men in the Gospel and in bringing
them to Christ. has found the in
spiration for it's foundation in this
story Of these early disciples bring
ing others to Jesus.
There is much in this incident that
gives up food for thought. There is
the suggestion Of the Unreasonable
effect of faithful service. A disciple
may have himself no great distinc-
ton or ability. there may be moth
