EVENTUALLY, WHY NOT NOW?

We're in for a period Of official obfuscation.
The Administration is on the heels of the big
-four and feed men. And it seems to have caught
them playing Blind Mans buff with the Sherman
antitrust law The Federal trade commission has
the papers. Interesting papers they are One big
miller writes another how to go about fixing prices
thawwill be the same those of all the other big
millers and he gets an answer telling him how.
Efforts to catch conspirators against the Sher-
man act Government investigators are always happy
when they get their hands on correspondence like
that. That gives them pretty nearly prima facie
case
So it looks like hot summer in the courts for
the millers Probably several hot summers and a
few hard winters, for these cases have way Of
dragging out for years Somebody may have to pay
something into the public treasury. Or somebody
may not.
1t does make a great deal of difference so
far as the public is concerned. The public Will con-
tnue to pay just about what the big industries agree
should be paid for the goods they put the market
The big industries will continue to offer these goods
at prices so nearly the that it Won't be worth
while from the standpoint of price to SHOP around,
The big industries-and the same is true of little
industries-are not going to compete with one an
other when they don't want to compete The
Sherman act cannot change this. The Sherman act
served a good purpose for a time, but nobody is
really afraid Of it any longer and il is about time
to it from the statute books
Some better method of protecting the public in
the matter of prices will have to be found.

ABOUT SWALLOWING THINGS
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

An evangelist was preaching the other day in a
city Of over hundred thousand inhabitants at a
beautiful church where intelligent and extensively
gowned members listened to his grafton. This is one
of the things ne said:
THE old Whale went swimming round the ocean
He had swallowed lot Of things, fishes and tin cans
and horseshoes and other junk, but Jonah went
down he knew he had got something he couldn't
stand"
We ought, really, to have for evangests
The misinformation they put out is menace to re-
hgon. Any intelligent child in that mans audience
would have questioned the statement that Jonah S
whale had found tin in the long before tin
cans were ever manufactured and that horseshoes
floating about in the water
But this is fair sample of the kind of stuff many
evangeists go over the land dispensing are sup
posed to Gull the religious facts from the scientific
fancies. Stupid and intelligent we are expected to
swallow such unmtgated and along with it absorb
vast amount of religious fervor. If do not do SO
easily the whale swallowed his tin cans and horse
Shoes we are accused Of being vicious citizens and unfit
to hold communication with God.
Women the greatest worshipers Of travelling
evangelists They often will literally sit at the feet
of men who are not fit morally to tie UP their shoe
aces and either because they blessed or cursed
with an intense creduty they think such men are es-
pecaly endowed by heaven to guide them in their re-
Igious life.
The hours good women have spent cooking food
for bad evangests if stretched out would make MANY
centuries.
When the Christian churches In America get rid
of lot of their spurious ministers throttle
thousand of their ignorant evangeliss and educate
all their preachers to point where they can com
pete intellectually with the most of their congrega
tons, then may expect to Christianity take its
rightful place in twentieth century civilization The
longer men go about putting out scientific untruths
to the modern boy and girl the harder it going to be
to get the younger generation to put religion.

You mustn't do that and you
mustn't do this, are things a child's
told so he won't go amiss. You're
aiming to help him, and hope to get
by, but always are stopped when
the youngster asks "Why?"
Too often all parents lay rules
down offhand that minds Of the wee
folks can ne'er understand IT'S
well to explain them. IT'S we'll to
be stern. For, knowing the why's,
is the way children learn.
When talking things over and
making rules clear, you're helping
the child to go right, without fear.
You'll get his respect cause he
knows that you're grown, and you'll
help him build up a mind OF his
own.

Hope, a mere dot in the northern
wilds, was only a rough trail, half
obliterated by snow.
More than a week later she sledded
into the Eskimo village, unloaded her
store Of medicine and concentrated
food and saved the lives of a score
Of dying natives. Then, her work
done, she set out again, back for her
hospital post at Kotzebue.
The return journey was made

BY VIM. II. GilrOy, d. o.


There is much to be said for the
contention that Abraham IS the
greatest figure Of history. 1t Is true
that we do not know the full details
OF his life. But in the great com
handing aspects Of his life and
personality as they appear in the
narrative in Genesis, he represents
the very parting Of the ways in the
matter of human progress.
He has been called "the first emf
grant" the man Of vision, moving
out under the impulse Of some great
urge toward new environment and
adventure. There seems to be little
doubt that Abraham moved forth in
this way as many others have done,
because of a new spiritual exper-
fence and dissatisfaction with his
environment. This took the form.
apparently, Of faith in a personal
God.
Wa do not know Just now high
and deep was the religion that Abra-
ham professed, but he had come ap-
parently TO feel that an ideal could
not express the reality Of that life
that lay back OF the universe. and
he had come also, according to the
record. TO conceptions Of morality
in human relationships so lofty that
multitudes Of modern men are still
upon a far lower plain.

How do bills in Congress become
| laws?
Bills are introduced into the House
Of Representatives by members Of
that body and in the Senate by the
Senator's They are then referred to
the standing committee that deals
with the subject matter, and after
investigation the committee either
votes to report it to the House or
Senate, or not to report it. In the
latter instance there Is usually no
further proceeding with respect to
that bill. It Is said to have died in
committee. If reported, the bill is
put on the calendar Of the House or
Senate, where in due course it comes
up for debate and action by the body
where it was originally introduced
If passed it is sent to the other body
Of Congress, whore it goes through
the same committee procedure. If
passed by both bodies OF Congress it
becomes an act, when approved by
the President, or In case Of a veto it
can be passed over the veto by two
thirds vote of both branches. If
passed by both branches Of Congress
and the President does not either APP
prove or veto 1t, the bill becomes
an act.

record. TO conceptions Of morality
in human relationships so lofty that
multitudes Of modern men are still
upon a far lower plain.
Gospel of Magnanimity
All through the ages men have
been warning and lighting both as
individuals and as nations wherever
their self-interests conflicted, and
yet we look back to Abraham as one
who, when his herdsmen were CON
tending with Lots herdsmen,
preached and practiced the gospel Of
large magnimity.
If that spirit had been in other
men and Had been persistent, the
world would have been spared the
tragic and terrible record of its age
long wars.
Here in our lesson the character
that comes out in Abraham is that
Of faithfulness to his obligation.
Abraham, theman of peace, showed
that he could fight if fighting were
necessary.
An interesting feature Of this les
son is that modern excavations have
thrown considerable light upon it
and have made the kings mentioned
here more than mere names. 1t is
the opinion of Assyriologists that
Amraphel, king Of Shinar, is to be
identified with Hammurapi. king Of
Babylon and author Of the famous
code that bears his nome.
Abraham's Refusal
The incident followed the battle
of the kings and Abraham's rescue
Of Lot and his goods has a sym
bollc meaning. Meichizedek, king of
Salem, who was also described as
a priest Of God, is represented as
bringing forth bread and wine and
blessing Abraham.
As a part of this blessing he Of
fers to Abraham a tenth Of all, but
Abraham displays his disinterested-
ness by refusing to take any portion
of what was offered him. One may
recall in this connection the fact
that George Washington declined to
take any pay for his services as
commander-in-chief of the continen-
tai army
1t is the disinteredness of Abra-
ham that appears as his highest
quality. the purity Of his motives

of his aims and aspirations, a prac-
teal man of affairs, the business
of life for him was something more
than mere business.
He is represented as the founder
of az race and as the channel of
blessings to society. I'm thy seed
shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed" Society involves something
more than the keeping Of flocks and
the attending to matters of business.
Society exists through, and because
Of, relationships.
Abraham was worthy to be
founder and an originator Of bless
ings, because he had a social con-
ception of life. 1t is only as men rise
to something higher than their own
interests that they become in any
real sense social beings.
Victory of Faith
Our lesson emphasizes that Abra-
hams victory came through faith
and courage. But we should lay
stress on the nature of the victory
that Abraham sought to achieve. All
his activities were along the line Of
duty and obligation.
He was a man who could be de-
pended upon not only to fulfil his
word, but to fulfill the deeper obli-
cations Of friendship and loyalty
that ought to influence a man apart
altogether from the question whether
he has given his word or not
