THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION -
ST. Francis FOrSakeS Riches for God
Written for The Times by Will Durant

what Christianity had intended to
be.
In all the middle ages there is no
more lovable figure; when we read
of him, we know that Nietzschc was
wrong. and that the last Christian
did not die on the cross.
Francis was born in 1882, in the
little Umbrian town of Assist, of a
wealthy and aristocratic family. He
had every facility for enjoying the
goods of this world. and he did not
neglect his opportunity.
He loved TO wear costly clothes,
and to dream of knightly adj
ventures; he wrote poetry, and
squandered his fathers money in a
romantic and gentlemanly way. He
was happy when a war between
Unbria and Perugia gave him a
chance to be a cavalier.
He joined the army at once, only
to be soon captured, and spent most
Of the war period in dungeon.
When he was released his taste for
war had lost its keenness; in the
midst of the campaign Christ seemed
to appear 10 him, pointing out the
vanity of his life and the trivial
insignificance of all earthly aims.
Lord" said Francis, what
wouldst Thou have me do?" The
vision babe him abandon war and
return to his home But on his
arrival in Assist his old comrades
drew him again into routine OF
revelry.
Francis fell in with them for a
time only to find their joys tiresome.
He made a trip to st. Peters at
Rome; there, standing before the
altar, it seemed to him that the
Prince Of the Apostles was being
honored with mean offerings; and
so, like the prince he was, he flung
down all the contents Of his purse,
and going out of the church in an
ecstasy, put on the clothes OF a
beggar and asked for aims.

A Filipino's Cry of Alarm

I'm the name of God give us our indie

.. are donated to campaign contributors whose
mouths are watering for them!"
The rudy blush of shame will mount the cheeks
OF every loyal American bordering over this plea of
Gabaldon, retiring resident commissioner of the Phil
ippineS
We boast of capacity to govern We say to
F1lpinoS and Others Watch Learn to govern
yourself honestly and efficiently as we do and some
day, maybe, we'll set you free"
And then to have them reply, as Gabaldon replied,
hurts like rubbing brine in open wound, because
we know the rebuke is not unmerited
Gabaldon, in his good-by to Congress, took sharp
issue with Governor General Stson to the
late Gen. Leonard Wood as American viceroy in the
Philippines. If you would be free, Stmson told the
Ftlpinos speed up the development of your natural
resourceswh the aid Of American capital of course
though he did not say specifically to which the re-
firing resident commissioner rejoins
THE very reason we have not been given our in
dependence is the investment of American capital in
the islands. Every additional dollar of American in
vestment there, is additional nail in the coffin of
our independence Not that am opposed to Amer-
investments in the islands," he added "but give
lis independence first"
Said Governor Stimson in his inaugural address:
II believe that nowhere in the world are relations
Of capital to the public watched with jealous eye
than today in the United States The abuses of capital
which excited criticism generation ago, have been
cured The American captains of industry today
have very different standard of duty toward the
public from their predecessors of the nineteenth CEN
tuy'
If that is the case, explained Ciabaldon "then God
forgive those predecessors of the nineteenth century!
If they had anything on that great captain of indus
try, Harry F. Sinclair multmillionaire oil man, and
former Senator Albert B. Fall they must indeed have
been bad!"
Recounting the shameful story of Teapot Dome
and the naval oil land lease scandal the Filipino OBJ
served that "all this happened than three years
ago. and neither Sinclair nor Fall ever has served
day in Jail.
"And now" he went on, sit comes out that Sinclair
secretly contributed $260000 the campaign funds of
the Republican party. What frghtens me, as a Fill
who have millions invested in the Philippines also are
heavy contributors to the campaign chest of the Re-
publican party.
I'm the name of God, members of the American
Congress, beseech you to give our independence
before the Philippines, like Teapot Dome and the
naval oil lands donated to campaign contributors
whose mouths water for our golden natural re-
sources!"
To what low estate have our national scandals
brought us We who would teach the Filpinos honest
government today only listen, flushed and
Inundated, while pupils taunt with the facts of
own corruption

One is tempted to advance the
hope that Judge Cameron'S de-
cision in the indianapolis spank
ing case may arrest a rather too
strongly developed movement
against discipline in the home and
school.
It hasn't been long since George
Bernard Shaw-he of the hot tenn
per and the red whiskers-took
angry and violent issue with an
Irish bishop who preached the
doctrine Spare the rod and spoil
the child"
We have tolerant regard for the
views of the opponents of spank
ing. but we would direct attention
to the recent statement by DR.. M.
G. Hill before the New York
Academy of Medicine: Keep away
from the rod if you will, but don't
lay too much emphasis on
psychoanalysis in solving the prob
lem of the bad child"
With DR.. Hill, we think it advis-
able to combine strictness with all
psychological study of the prob
lem" child-along with adjustment
of environmental factors in pat
tern of general parental policy.
And the nervousness or 'haught-
mess" of a child is very frequently
due to the fact that the young
ster is striving to keep up his
play to the standards of old COM
panions."
DR. Hill says parents never
should urge children to eat, add
ing that zone need never worry
about starving a child to death"
What, them, are we going to do
about balanced rations?

ing but hamburger, baked beans

cookies? What about the vita
mines. sir? What about the
spinach?
Many a man or woman who has
been a whale of success and
something of a genius in one way
or another has fallen down badly
on the job of rearing children.
The most skilled doctor and the
most learned psychologist should
recognize that wisdom is tickle
when applied to child culture and
go slow about setting down hard
and-fast rules, fer no two children
are alike in disposition and no two

In all ages mankind has
showered honors upon killers of
their fellowmen. But in order
to obtain those honors it has gen.
orally been necessary to kill on a
grand scale, to-wit, in war.
In Beeton, Ontario, however,
the good townSfolk have deemed
it proper to honor a killer who
killed only one fellowman. The
honoree in this instance was Alex
Hodge, who was given an elabo-
rate reception, purse of money
and a gold watch in recognition
of his achievement.
One night last summer Hodge
boldly attacked one David For
sythe, who was caught in the act
of robbing the Hodge farm home,
and, with no weapons but his two
good fists, beat the bandit to
death.
Besides, Hodge was instrument
al in rounding up a gang Of cat
tie thieves in his section, causing
their arrest and punishment. For
this he has been given a good po-
sition by the Ontario government
in connection with the province
experimental farm at Whitby.
No right-minded person APP
plauds killing as a general propo-
sition, but it would be we'll for
human society if we had more
people who, in the face Of an
emergency, might match the reso-
lutte courage and physical stamina
Of Alex Hodge.

Daughters On Strike

The good old days when fathers word was law to
the daughters of the house seem to have gone for
ever. Harken to the plant of James Tuscano Of
New York
The other night Tuscano scolded daughter for
falling to STUDY Instead of saying Eyes, father,
and agreeing to study harder, all daughters would
have done few years ago, the girl up and walked
out on him. And not only that; her four sisters
walked out with her
And Tuscano instead of succeeding in his efforts
at paterna admonition, finds himself short five
daughters. Verify the old order is changing

Female Oppression

Women always have played an
important part in life. no matter
what the law said or how social
customs appeared to suppress them.
The six Indiana nations could
not declare war unless the council
of women approved.
From Tibet comes the news that
husbands have organized a rri0n
and struck in protest against the
hardships of female oppression. In
that region. according to the res
port, women not only select hus-
bands. but are not regarded as
amounting to much unless they
have at least three.

Grandma May Weep

There is a list for grandma to
read and wonder at, if not to weep
over, yet it proves less than it seems
to at first glance.
Women have changed, because
the world has changed.
BY and large, they occupy the
same place that they once did.
Modern life merely makes the place
little larger
If women could not vote until re-
cent years, neither could men.
Both sexes waited hundred
generations and more for the fran
chise, and when it came, women
were only four or five generations
behind.

Italy will not receive. IS said to be
with you Then he goes on to
speak of Christian mercy and love.
The most powerful of the monas-
tic orders was founded by st. Dom
inic in 1914. Wandering on foot
over the face of Europe, under
burning suns or chilling blasts, re-
jecting aims in money but receiving
thankfully whatever coarse food
might be set before the wayfarer,
enduring hunger in silent resigna-
ton, taking no thought for the
morrow, but busted eternally in
snatching souls from Satan and
lifting men up from the sordid cares
of daily life" so We picture the
monks who more than any other
order helped to spread Christianity
among the nations Of Europe.
Gradually the old pagan mythol-
ogy of the north gave way, and
Odin, Thor and Freya whom we
still commemorate on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday yielded to the
Virgin Mother and the Son of Man.
Patrick won Ireland irrevocably to
.he faith. and another Augustine
brought the glad tidings to England.
When Gregory the Great saw
some captive English and was told
that they were called Angles, he
said they only needed Christianity
to be changed into angels. He was
mistaken.
TINE Kingdom of the Clergy"
Il said Machiavelli, had been
long since at an end if the reputa-
ton and reverence towards the
poverty of the monks had not made
up for the excuses of bishops and
prelates.'

growing corrupt with its wealth, and

orders we're charged with i'm
morality and greed, the figure of st.

approach.
We think sympathy and kind

A dash of the bitters of resolute

Ladies' In Crime

We hear more about women in
connection with crime, because we
hear more about crime.
Jails and prisons have always held
a certain percentage of women.
1t is doubtful if that percentage
is greater now than it has averaged
since the dawn of consciousness.
1t certainly is not as great as it
has been at certain periods.
History is full Of instances in
which women appeared to assume a
diabolical leadership.
1t would be hard to find any
parallel in this day for such a rec
ord as that left by the Roman en-
presses and their parasites.

 The purport of the bill is to pro vide some protection against speeding, oversize vehicle or overweight loads to roads and bridges in the Territory.
 As it passed the Senate, the bill provides: That it shall be the duty of the president of the Board of Road Commissioners for Alaska, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War, to prescribe such regulations govern ing the type of vehicle, weight of load and speed of travel, as in his best judgment the public necessity may require for protection of life and prop erty, or properly to safeguard and protect roads, bridges and related structures constructed and maintained in whole, or in part, from funds appro- priated out of money in the Treasury of the United States.
