Of freedom for nearly four more months. He has
been in jail more than week. He will be in
the cold dark cells of the county Jail Independence
Day. Surely the hearts Of Watson and Robinson
must fill with salty tears when they think of his
sad fate.
There is another of thu Sc ianitors who must
six months at the jail for this theft ofwhisky
and the turning of it back to bootleg channels.
Think of the long dark days ahead of him. And that
third down at Leavenworth for year and day,
he, too, suffers.
Perhaps these Senators have not heard of these
other public servants who betrayed their trust who
weak who in few moments Of temptation
carried out that confscated whisky and sold it to
weaker and richer men who drank it. s.f
For if they had heard Of these sentences and
knew of the punishment they undergoing, they
must certainly have felt impelled to ask TIE Presi
dent to release them, too
1t may not be too late, even yet if the citizens
act quickly and promptly to call the facts the
tention of the Senator's
All those whose hearts bleed do those of Wat
son and Robinson for the unhappy McCray should
start petitions today for these other three who also
betrayed their trust and feel the heavy hand Of rer
button.
Let's start those petitions at once, and let the
President turn them all out at the same moment.
Let not quality of mercry be strained.

A Tragedy Of Love

Yesterday tho original OF little
Lord Fauntleroy. Vivian Burnett.
now a tall. baldheaded man, came
sailing home from Europe.
He says that the beautiful picture
a devoted mother painted OF his eol-
den curls and lace collars has af,
fected his whole life.
I mo matter where / go" he says.
cor what ] do, there is always the
reference to the fact that was the
germ of tho Fauntleroy story"
How she must have loved him and
yet what a tragedy it is that she
could not visualize him growing up.

cerature OF time and circumstance,
like all other human beings.
SO many mothers make the same
mistake and so many fathers, too,
all with the best Of intentions.
They can't seem TO think OF their
children in any other light than
that Of beautiful. hut helpless imma-
turity. can't seem To realize that

purpose. that they must break
away from home and home ties and

Growing Power
1t is instructive to see the foolish
way in which many people in the
modern world deal with the problems
of life exactly as these Egyptians
dealt with the increasing numbers
and growing power of the Hebrews.
The Egyptians said, Let us deal
wisely with them"
But the only wisdom they had was
in subjecting the Hebrews to brutal
force. Real problems of life are
never solved by selfish measures and
by brutal procedure. 1t is a lesson
that history has written very, very
deeply into its pages, and yet IL is
amazing that many people in our
modern world still place almost all
their faith for the safety and up
building of the state upon selfish
ness and force.
Wise men will find a better solu-
ton of life's problems, whatever they
may be, than the solution of brute
force. Might never makes right.
The principles Of love and justice
may seem weak and Intellectual, but
in the long run love and Justice
constitute the only solutions Of hui
man problems.
This is as true in relation to the
modern vexed problems of social. in
dustrial and racial relationships as 1t
was true in relation to the problem
OF an unassimilated people in ancient

The revelations of money spending in IL

The revelations of money spending in the Penn
sylvania primary have had their effect the United
States Senate, whether not they have yet infu-
enced the people at large.
The Senate Rules Committee has offered for
consideration and action today resolution condemn
ing the expenditure of huge sums by candidates for
the Senate. If adopted it will express the sense
of the Senate" that any candidate spending more
than $4,000 renders himself thereby unfit to occupy
a seat in the Senate This $4,000 limitation, of
course does not alter the binding effect of laws now
in force in some States making still lower figure
the maximum that candidates may spend.
Under all the circumstances, the pull Of friend
ships, the fights that Of the Senator'S them
selves face this and the habit of lavish ex-
penditure that has grown up. the rules committee
has gone farther than most people might have
expected. Some, it is true, would like to see more
teeth in the resolution. They'd like to see the SEN
ate set up absolute bar to any candidate who
spends more than specified sum. Later this may
come. For the present, the Senate will do we'll to
adopt the proposed resolution. 1t should have a
sautary effect the campaign this and fall

With such an unusually brilliant
cast and plans calling for a lavish

Trovators," the Municipal Theater
Association Is faced by an almost
certain loss, inasmuch as the pro-
duction must play to capacity houses
every night to pay for itself.
Though the loss seems certainty
because of the tremendousness Of
the production, the Association has
ruled that its admission scale. now
the cheapest of any similar
theatrical undertaking in the world,
will not be raised. The deficit will
be made up from the profits ac-

The international uniform Sunday
school lesson for July 4. Israel en-
shaved Egypt. Exod. 1874.
Nv William E. GiIroy, ID. d.

Editor of the Congregationalist.
From the story of Joseph with its
triumphant advancement of man
of sound character and purpose
whose rise to power became
shared by his own people, we pass
quickly to story Of distress and
tragedy, though originally a much
longer time was occupied by this
changed order of events that the
proximity of these narratives in the
Scriptures would suggest.
A new king had arisen who knew
not Joseph. and the descendants of
Joseph consequently suffered. While
these ancient kings cannot be iden-
titled with certainty. the probability
is that the king who elevated Jo-
seph to power himself belonged to
a line who had come in through for
eign conquest, He was probably
one of the IIyksos rulers who came
from the north and who were likely
of the same general Semitic race
as the Hebrews.
The Hyksos rulers were eventually
driven out by the native princes, and
much of the oppression of the He
brews may have been because in the
eyes iof these later Pharoahs they
were Of this foreign strain At any
rate, the people who had come down

START THOSE PETITIONS

Once more Senators Watson and Robinson and
few Republican Congressman are pleading with the
President to open the doors of the Atlanta prison
and send back Warren T. McCray to the State of
which he was once Governor
They plead that this who stole only few
millions while he used his high office as Jimmy
has been punished enough.
They cannot bear to meet at Turkey Run and
other places to rejoice the payment of the debts
which the State incurred under his administration
and think of this man who gives them the oppor-
tunity to boast, being held behind prison bars.
Humanitarians these able Senators, whose great
heart does them much credit
That other citizens may be more hard hearted
does not deter them from this act of mercy and for
giveness
For men who have been so long in public life
it is difficult to understand how they overlooked The
magnificent opportunity to make their petition Inn
pressive by making it more general.
They had the opportunity to show that 1t was not
because McCray was their pal in politics. once
their friend and supporter because he was Gov
ernor and had betrayed the people, but because
their hearts are always filled with sympathy for
those who suffer in prison.
They should, in all good conscience, have broad
ened that petition to include all public servants Of
high and low degree, who may be behind the bars
If Federal prison
That would have removed all suspicion that they
pleading to lift the perpetual fear that the peo
pie may remember McCray when they plead for party
responsibility and party obligation.
There are other former officials who have been
weak and tempted, who suffer in prison. who have
undoubtedly reflected and regretted.
They should have petitioned for those three col
ored janitors who stole $4,000 worth of Squibb
whisky from the Federal building.
