LIQUOR Thieving.

The theft Of medicinal whisky"
valued, according to reports, at $4,000
900. from Q warehouse in Chicago is
under investigation by the prohibition
oficials. Hundreds of barrels, sup
posed to contain whisky, have been
rihed Of their contents and colored
water, other kinds Of spirits and what
not have been substituted. Approx
mately 5000 cases Of red water have
taken the place Of Q similar number
Of cases of bonded whisky. If the re-
ports be true, an astounding situation
has been revealed. For this whisky has
been stolen while under the constant
supervision Of the Federal Government.
The theft, It is intimated, has been
going On for q year or more. Under
the circumstances the removal Of the
whisky seems necessarily to have been

have been made and no arrests,

quently those whose prosperity demands
the most complete protection of that
which law affords are most recreant
to It's mandates. A still further express
sion of this kind of cheap patriotism is
that which claims much and gives
little. All of these expressions are rep
rehensible and unworthy of the guard
ianship and protection of the flag.
Over against these we set those ideals
of service, of true patriotism, which the
above text sets forth. To be builder
Of waste places means to have broad
and charitable concern for the unfor-
tunate and disappointed. There are
waste places where the Joy ana appeal
Of life are rarely experienced. There
are spots In this old world OF ours
that are Is arid and unproductive as Q
Sahara. There are men and women all
about Us, who are living In waste places.
10 whom are denied both privilege ana
opportunity. We rise to our greatest
efYiinence when we so extend our chefi-
ty that 1t feckons with conditions that,
while remote, call forth our glad anu
ready response.
To be q repairer of the breach means
to be q healer and benefactor 70 those
who have been wounded or forgotten,
or who In the sharp competitions OF NE
have received ungenerous considera.
ton, Dare we not believe that one Of
the great purposes for which God has
raised up this Nation Is that OF repair
ing breaches? The work OF the con.
eiliator is q supreme one. We are Sill
a heterogeneous people. and within our
confines a vast work OF assimilation IL
to be accomplished. Beyond this we De.
ljeye that America is TO fill large and
important role In effecting better con-
ditions, through the healing of breaches
that distress and distract the nations
OF the elder world. Already through lis
multilateral treaties a splendid step
has been taken In this direction.

Ia to be the conserver Of peaceful ways,
the protector Of the vital interests OF the
home. the school and the church.
It is conspicuously true that religion
is the basis Of our happiness and per-
manenee. washington had this In mind
when In his Farewell Address he said,
I'm ell habits and customs leading to

is the case the experiment should be
adopted as regular policy, and II Is
pleasing to note that Inspector Brown
of the TRAFFIC Bureau now has that
policy In mind.
Campaigns of law enforcement, dur
ing which hundreds of motorists are
rounded up and brought into court for
ofIensss that otherwise might be con-
sidered as trivial infractions, do no last
ing good. As soon as the police relax
their vigilance, the violations begin
again. What we need, and Maj. Pratt
and Inspector Brown are considering its
possibilities, IL Q continued and never
ending campaign against traf1c VIOLA

few days showed that such a campaign
has a temporary effect. Both the cam
paiRn and the effect should be made
permanent.

paw the farmer two-thirds or so OF the
value of his wheat when they take 1t

the past, and some of the agents have
been found derelict In their duty. The

some Of the men employed to carry

No group of employees in any activity

This and That

It is dificult to see how any one
really can hate cats.
Yet, on the other hand. one hears
people say, "Oh, hate cats!" as If
hating were as easy as that.
The truth is that hate, the general
term for extreme aversion. Is much too
strong for the average case OF cat dis
like.
While there may be some few people
who actually hate, despise, abhor, de-
test. Abominate and loathe cats, the
great majority Of the self.called cat
haters are simply making poor choice

No. most of the hate" for Felis

any one to hate it. =.
Friends Of cats can zee nothing Ut all
about q cat which calls for hatred. In
difference. they believe, is the better
virtue, one cannot actively like them. .
And no doubt this Is the view OF
thousands and thousands Of human be-
ings, who accept the cat Is harmless

IL one happens to awake them with
yowlins in the middle of the night.
Mostly the extreme cases OF cat
hatred are alphabetically worked up,
perhaps based on physiological aver
sion to fur, or to staring eyes, or soft
they call them "sneaking "-motions.
while the whole world processes to love
the dog, q steady propaganda against
the cat has gone forward through the
centuries. Even magazines have tasen
it up. The humorous magazine Lifc
Gas it used To be- specialized in praise
have undertaken an active campaign
against the cat.

How one can dislike cat Is 0 nhys-

No created thing respects man more
