Templeton Jones, having no rancor
! in his soul, is able to view his own
faults and those of others in an amaz.
| ingly impartial manner.
Jones, in this regard, is a sort of
Jove, sitting in what he fondly be-
lleves to be solitary grandeur, look
| ing down upon mere mortals, strug-
Cling, erring human beings, striving
for they know not what.
Jones can only wonder at the sud.
den angers of others, the quick re-
sentiments, the long-held splaens. He
| sees mature men acting like little
| ing like babieS,' as the song had 1t.
Is Jones, then, not human?
Yes, he is intensely so, but kindly
Heaven has endowed him with the
ability to regard life as a spectacle
and he as a spectator. Or, perhaps,
1t might be put the other way around,
that a He'll, kindly for once, had re-
fused to give him those traits of
character which it seems to have so
literally accorded others.
Jones might be thought Indifferent,
because he does not spring eagerly
to the righting of humanity. He
might be regarded as callous, be-
| cause he refuses to become heated
over wrongs that are none of his bust
ness, and which his common sense
tells him he cannot change.
Poor Jones might even be sus-
pected of being something of a cow
ard, when all the time his lack would
simply be that of ferocity. or of
meanness, or Of any one of a num-
ber of qualities which most men have
in more profusion than he.

Jones, having this sort of a disposi-
ton, has amused himself from time
to time by collecting cases showing
the absurdity of anger.
In his files he has many queer in.
stances of angers, spleens, resent
ments, rancors, irrascibilities, at once
instructive and sorrowful.
Jones has often lamented that he Is
not great moral teacher. Then he
might spread his account before the
victim, and say: well, don't you
think 1t absurd? And what are you
going to do about it,"
Yes, 1t really is too bad that the
great moral teachers are no more. It
is true that there is plenty Of gen.
eralization, The country is still 60
ing to the dogs. as all countries do,
and the state of mind of the younger
CS@ASA s%IAOAI 40 oA4AI AiloOS 01uA lilAlIS, ct0
the states OF minds of all younger
generations have been alarming since
time began.
There are no Jeremiahs, however,
going around specifically pointing out
faults. and crying. "Woe! Woe unto
YOU" with a finger Of righteous
scorn pointed in one particular direc-
ton.
Public censuring is more in the
form Of a Keep off the grass" sign,
with no addition of that necessary
admonition, This Means You"
AS much as Jones had sometimes
longed, in the secret recesses of his
heart, to assume the flowing mantle
Of Jeremiah. and tell the world what
was the matter with it, he had never
found the role possible, nor had it
promised to be finally pleasing.
A thing must be finally pleasing,
to be actually pleasing. Many per-
sons do not know that, hence get
themselves into much hot water, as
the saying is.
Yes, thing must be finally pleas
ing, and Jones knew that wearing
the mantle Of jeremiah, while it
might have It's good points, also
might result in cold feet, and the doc
tors had always told him to keep his
feet warm.

''Double Jeopardy" Decision
of Supreme Court Is Debated

Sharp differences of opinion mark
comment on the Supreme Courts
double jeopardy" decision, in which
it is held that a person prosecuted
under the Federal Volstead law for
illegal liquor making also can be tried
To many editors the decision appears
to be clearly in conflict with the guar
antees of the bill of rights. Others
see only a logical development in the
American dual system of government,
through which a single act becomes
two offenses when both State and Fed
eral laws are violated.
The legal profession was not sur
prised. according to the Chicago Daily
News. mo double jeopardy is in
volved in such a case in the legal
meaning of the term" the Daily News
contends. 1.-THE offender has violated
two distinct laws, but, of course, he
cannot be tried by the same authority.
The Federal courts interpret and ap-
ply Federal laws, the State courts
apply State statutes. The logic Of the
decision Is f1awless. Yet it was the
liability of double punishment which
led many voters in New York to de-
mana ana OBTAIN repedl Oh IndC SJdLo s

ment person cannot plead punish

thority for the identical offense."
I'm this instance" as the Manches-
ter Union views it, 'the real point In
the case of the arrested person is
found to be not double jeopardy. but
the commission of a double offense.
The man who elects to break the laws
of the Nation and the State must be
prepared to suffer the penalties i'm
posed by both" And the Flint Daily
Journal declares that although boot.

ness have brought with them new
checks with which to meet, the

The Democratic Program.

Due notice that the scandals Of
1926" are to be a headliner in the
Democratic program of activities at
the Capitol this Winter has been
given by Senator Robinson of Arkan
Sas. Democratic leader of the Senate.
This was to be expected In'all prob
ability legislation seeking to limit or
to control expenditures in primary
elections for Congress will be sought.
Senator Borah of Idaho has laid the
ground for Republican support of
such proposal. Senator James A.
Reed OF Missouri. the inquisitor par
excellence Of the Senate, chairman of
the slush fund committee, Is expected
to make his report during the com.
ing session and it will in all probabil-
tty contain recommendations for leg
islation designed to better the condi-
tions which have been found in some
Of the States where senatorial pri-
maries have been investigated
The Democratic program, put for
ward by Senator Robinson, however,
Is not confined to alleged corruption
In elections. 1t includes farm relief,
reduction Of the tax rates and a re-
vision downward of the protective
tariff. This program becomes COM
prehensive. It is noticeable that 1t
makes no reference to the issue
which has been causing more stir
than all others, particularly in Dem
ocratic politics, the prohibition ques-
ton. There are Democrats in the
Senate and House, however, who will
not be so quiet in regard to prohibit
ton as the statement emanating
from Senator Robinson. Senators
Bruce of Maryland, Edwards of New
Jersey, Reed of Missouri, Walsh of
Massachusetts, and others are likely
to inject 1t vigorously into the Sen
ate debate at this coming session. On
the other hand, stalwart drys among
the Democrats, like Shepard of
Texas, doubtless will strike back with
vigor. The row in Congress will not
be entirely between Democrats and
Republicans The Democrats have
some private party differences to set
tie and the liquor question is not
the least Of them.
Much interest is manifested today in
che attitude Of the Southern Demo
Gratis. in Congress and out, toward
the proposed McNary- -Haugen bill.
Senator Robinson's statement does
not give much hope to the McNary-
Haugenites, for he declares against
Government machinery in any sys-
tenn devised to aid the farmers. He
believes the farmers should them
selves set up and maintain any ma
chinery authorized by national legis-
1ation. In the last Congress the Dem.
ocrats. under Senator Robinson's lead,
had bill OF their own for farm re.
lief. which differed from both the ad
mtnistration measure. better known
as the Fess bill. and the McNary-
Haugen bill. If the Democrats con.
tinuc to stand out for their own bill
at the coming session the chances of
legislation again appear to be very
slim.
But the Democrats are not much
perturbed over the possibility of the
failure Of farm relief legislation. Sue.
cessful solution of the farm problem,
under Republican leadership, would
scarcely be Of help to them in 1928.
On the other hand, disgruntled farm
element in the West might aid them
considerably.

And strains in novel forms drew near,

Most Of them tried and true;
They echoed a melodic art
So old-yet always new.
The players simple and sincere
Went wandering through the land.
I hope that I again may hear
Dot Leedle Cherman Band.
It sought no artificial praise
For its delights Of song.
It's members simply went their way
To cheer the passing throng
And breathed the melodies Of yore
Which all could understand.

Make 100000 Calls
Daily on Chicago Wires

Three million times each day some
resident of Chicago has something 20
say to some other Chicagoan that
makes it necessary to use the tele-
phone. This is an average of one call
daily through the Chicago telephone
exchange for every man, woman and
child in the city. The business and
personal telephone messages between
residents Of Chicago now average l.
l00,000,000 a year
A recent check of long distance calls
reveals the fact that an average of
77,573 persons outside the city are
called by Chicagoans in "a hours and
probably an equal number of people in
Chicgao are called from outside. The
calls out of Chicago went TO every
state in the union and also to Canada
and Mexico.
The number of telephones likewise
has shown a remarkable rise. Twenty
years ago, Chicago had 40 telephones
for every 100 citizens. Now the city
has 25.3 instruments for every hun

As a result of the failure of the
requisite number of states to ratify
the Child Labor Amendment, the
responsibility Of giving adequate pro-
lection from harmful employment TO
working children rests solely with the
states.
Child Labor Day this year offers an
opportunity for public discussion of
the minimum standards of protection
which should be accorded to working
children by all of the states. In this
connection the National Child Labor
Committee has just issued a statement
of what it holds to be reasonable
minimum standards, which should be
adopted and adequately enforced by
all Of the states. The standards in
clude the prohibition of: ~ certain
work for children under fourteen,
