WHEN A JOKE IS LOwDowN MEANNEss

We are too prone to make Joke of sacred things
We will stand risque farce and laugh at the sight OF
man betraying his wife when the subject, treated
honestly for what it isa tragedy-makes most OF the
critics insist that its discussion is indecent
We will Joke about mothers-inlaws and smile when
suggests that he wishes his motherin-law dead for
getting that mother-inla always somebody's mother,
and will listen to anything against mother
The idea is perfectly silly both counts, for have
known mohers-inlaw that among the most blessed
women on EARTH and have known mothers that have
had no right to cumber the earth and ruin the lives OF their
children.
Eve used to sing My wifes gone to the country,
Murray, Murray, insinuatng that wife was at least
necessary bore from whom every glad to get away
Most wives know how dependent their husbands are
pon them and husbands usually around like lost
souls when their wives really go to the country.
The old song, II wonder who's kissing her now! was
an insult to womanhood, and one should have smiled
over it, but YOU can remember the laughter that it evoked
There is scarcely funny page in the newspapers or
kt upon the stage that does hold the sacred things
of life up to ridcue
1t has almost come where the people of the country
regard divorce as joke but if you would ask of the
women who have made this desperate and always serious
attempt readus and reshape their warped thwared or
abused lives and bring themselves back to normal sanity
they would tell you quite another story.
We must stop smiling at Jokes about the seventh com
mandment. Some smart woman remarked recently thai
only men regarded the seventh commandment joke
that women it is tragedy.
We must not feel appeal to funnybone in some
insulting remark about mohersnlaws wives or sweet
hearts.
Isn't it possible make humorous illusion to some
thing that will hurt of the most sacred things OF
life? The man who does this will start something which

| Have Said in Ny Heart
NEW YEAR.
By IDA McGLONE GIBSON

There is someone knocking at
our door while we stand with tear
dimmed eyes and trembling lips
holding the fast stiffening hand of
friend.
1t is farewell forever.
Our grasp grows tighter and for
a moment the dear old comrade
looks into our eyes with returning
love.
1--WE cannot let you CO." we whis-
per, through our tears; but he wear
lily shakes his head and answers
softly: II must make way Tor him
who even now is waiting at the
door,"
"Can he give us what you have
poured into our laps so lavishly?"
we ask.
Love, joy, content-these you
have brought to us; and if grief
crept in unbidden, he only served
to make love dearer, joy sweeter,
and content only to be desired.

Yet these arguments are made
against the 18th Amendment with
out, apparently, any realization of
their absurdity. After all these
thousands of years no way has
been found by which to secure a
100 per cent enforcement of the
Ten commandments, yet they re-
main the foundation of the moral
code of the world.
The 18th Amendment was adopt
ed when Only relatively small
fraction of the women of the United
States were enfranchised. We did
what we could, but ours was not
the deciding voice. We had then,
as we have now. certain moral re-
sponsibilities. We regarded the
liquor traffic as an enemy of the
home, aai the debaucher of youth.
1t had little, if any, regard for law
before the passage of the amend
ment, and it has not changed; we
did not expect that it would 1t
was an outlaw before it was out
lawed.
We cannot portion out RESPONSE
bility in moral questions, or con-
siderations of loyalty to the Consti-
tuition. 1t was George Washington
who pointed out that if. we could
trample on the laws with impunity
and pick and choosel which we
would support, nothing but an
archy and confusion is to be ex-
pected." He was talking about the
Whiskey Rebellion at the time. Men
and women alike owe the same
debt of reverence for and obedience
to the laws of the land
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-12-30

We know you, dear Old Year, and
he who comes so swiftly is untried.
Stay with us just little longer.
The knocking is becoming more
insistent as the breath comes slow
er and colder through the livid
lips of the Old Year.
Once more his eyes open and he
looks into ours-then a shudder-
and as the door opens to admit a
stranger-he is dead.
Lightly the New Year steps
across the threshold.
Easily he stoops and raises to
his shoulder the burden the strick-
en- Old Year has let fall.
In his eyes is sanguine courage;
in his smile perfect confidence.
He holds out his hand to US in
faith and friendship-and with one
lasl look at the still form We loved
we grasp it closely, for his warm
clasp is full of promise.
God grant his promises come true.

CHRISTMAS ON SUNDAY

From Manchester (Eng) Times
AS Christmas Day this year falls
on Sunday, it is interesting to
see what the old prophets predict
ed as the outcome of the SUB
sequent year. In the Hareleian
Manuscripts the following prophe-
cies are mentioned showing that
if Christmas Da yfalls on Sunday
lucky year follows that event:
Now take heed every man,
That English understand can,
If that Christmas Day fall
Upon Sunday know well all,
That winter season shall be easy,
Save great winds aloft shall fly;
The summer after also be dry,
And right seasonable. / say;
Beasts and sheep shall thrive right
well,
But other victuals shall fail;
What child that day is born,
Great and rich he shall be of corn.
Should, however, Christmas Day
fall ON a Monday, many disasters
are threatened:
If Christmas Day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and
shrill;
But in summer, truth to tell,
High winds shall there be and
strong.
Full of tempests lasting song.
While battles they shall multiply,
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-12-30
And great plenty of beasts shall

And great plenty of beasts shall
die.
With regard to this last prophecy
The Pail Mall Gazette pointed out
in 1866 how curiously correct were
the events of this year, following
the falling of Christmas Day on
Monday in 1865. It was remarked
of three of the prophecies that the
wind lasted in 1866 from January
to May; that war was ended by
the battle of Sadowa, when the
Prussians and Austrians were In
conflict; and that the cattle plague
was in full swing, being legacy Of
the outburst of the rinderpest OF
1865. To those who study the cycle
of events, it may be interesting to
learn that the Christmas festival
falls on Sundays at intervals of
five, six, eleven and six years
respectively.

PLEASANTVILLE AND 1923

Within few DAYS the City of Pleasantvie and the
Mainland communities will launch themselves upon an
other year of accomplishment and growth. fleeing
glance the panorama of the twelve months shows
that great many changes have been brought about during
1927, all of them changes for the better
However it would be a waste of time review what
has been done in the way of municipal and civic achieve
ment in the past year. The things that stand today
markers of the road travelled by Peasanve in 1927 are
good look upon We shall let them records al
which to aim in the coming year
great many problems face the city during 1923.
Employment conditions during the past year have demand
ed that Peasanvie launch itself program of indus
trial expansion Certain difficulties within the school system
have demanded the creation Of additional educational
facilities More important situations have arisen connect
ed with civic enterprises which show clearly that Pleasant
ville's citizens lack civic consciousness
Civic consciousness is greater than civic pride 1t lies
deeper There many people living within the limits
of this city who do the least what goes about
them Municipal matters interest them at all, until
their sidewalks flood there slight mistake their
bills. Civic enterprises stir within their
breasts agsas
Yet that is the type of man who says sThis will
never be anything. We're Atlantic City

med away from his wife tires of
her, for a man who is not true to
one woman may show that same
fickleness to another. The law
would not prevent her marrying,
even though she was named in a
divorce case.
