REASON By Ff haHBfS

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the commits
sion business has been overdone, the senate
should pass the house bill providing for appointment
of commission to study the matter Of conscripting
the nations resources in time of war; for it Is in
famous to draft boys for dollar day and let those
who stay at home get rich.
In every war America has waged the patriots have
hed and the pirates have waxed fat; this was true
even during the revolutionary struggle when grafters
robbed the half-naked soldiers of Washington caus-
ing that great patriot to say he regretted he could not
hang every profiteer throughout the colonies.
Turing the Civil war, condemned muskets, cot
II ton blankets and rotten food were sold to the
government and passed on to the soldiers and when
the guilty we're caught, they were let CO. even the
censure of congress which was given to great Of
tender being later wiped from the records.
If war actually is necessary to save the nation then
it is equally the concern of every man. woman and
child beneath the flag and if all can not give all
they have for the period Of the struggle, then we
should make resistance whatever We should throw
kiss to the invader and invite him to enter and help
himself to the mustard
Those who wish to get rich while others are get
ting killed, those who unwilling to forego their
profits when their country is fire, unfit to
dwell in civilized land and the nation that will not
handle them with hand of iron at such crisis for
feits its right to be preserved.
VXTHAT a CHASTITY trick for government to pas

and mothers for government to go into the sitting
of the average citizen, glance the family
circle then say: L like the looks of your boys 81
going to send them out to be shot at for me
but too tender hearted to keep those who sta!
at home from getting rich out of their sacrificed"
The common fathers and mothers of the worlc
should kick such governmental impudence out of ex
stence; they should refuse to furnish fodde
for any unless every man and every dollar
worth Of property be conscripted for such war.

Dark Horse

THE fight, if one develops,
L against the confirmation of
Judge Parker's appointment to the
supreme court bench will follow
lines rather different than those
which marked the debate about
Charles E. Hughes.
The advocates Of Hughes con-
tented themselves chiefly with let
ting the charges go unanswered and
pointing out the various notable
events in the career Of the distin-
guished New Yorker.
Not even the most bitter opponent
of Hughes denied his conspicuous
ability. But in the case of Judge
Parker his friends have been en-
deavoring to convince the dissenters
that he never did the things cited
against him, or held the views at
tributed him or any others either.
Judge Parker is the darkest horse
named for the supreme court with
in the memory of man.

Disaster

THE first supporting party turned
Il back at latitude 81 degrees. A
little past 81 degrees, the last sup
porting party turned back. Scott
then was 145 miles from the pole.
The date was Jan. 4, 1912.
BY Jan. 8, Scott had passed
Shackleton's "farthest south" The
travelling, however, was extremely
difficult and their rate Of progress
at times was no more than a mile
an hour.
On Jan. 16 they found the cairn
of rocks and the Norwegian flag left
by Amundsen and they knew that
they had been thwarted in their
ambition to be first at the south
pole.
On Jan. II they built their own
cairn and put up the British flag.
They took a photograph Of it and
then started on the Misunderstanding
journey home.
On Feb. 7, Evans sustained a con-
cusston of the brain in bad fall.
He had been the strongest man Of
the party. Ten days later he died.
That same night, Oates, who had
been suffering severely from the
cold and frost bite, walked away
into the blizzard He gave up his
own life in the hope that his coo-
panions might get back safely with
out him.
The temperature now was 40 be-
low zero. On March 10, the three
remaining men made their last
camp. A blizzard made 1t impos-
sible for them to move on. The last
entry in SCOTS diary was dated
March %.
Seven months later, their frozen
bodies we're found by a search party.

Goes Back to VANITY

1T is a universal weakness to re-
l. gard people as wholly queer if
they happen to do, or believe,
things to which we are not accus-
toned.
You see it in the attitude OF
neighborS, when a girl goes wrong;
in the anger of a section when some
local prejudice is defied; and, above
all else, in the way the people of
widely separated nations think of
one another.
1t all goes BIZ * to that peculiar
trait which We call vanity, and
which has been woven as thorough
ly into our highbrow writings as
into our back fence gossip.
We love to dwell on the &C.
centricities of other folks, which
would not be so bad, if we did not
make it an excuse for assuming
that it proved them fundamentally
different.

NAPoLEONs ABDICATION

Al IL
0N April II, 1914, Napoleon
" Bonaparte, emperor Of France,
abdicated his throne after the al
lied armies of England, Germany,
Prussia and Austria seized Paris.
Although he previously had con-
quered the important nations OF
Europe, Napoleon now was sent
into retirement as ruler Of the
little island of Elba in the
Mediterranean.
He was there only ten months
when he decided to resume his
campaigning. Accompanied by 600
soldiers of the Old Guard, Napoleon
entered Paris, dethroned the king,
and re-established himself once
more upon the throne.
He defeated the PruSsians at
Flanders, but ultimately suffered an
overwhelming defeat at the hands
of the English at Waterloo.
He was sent as a prisoner to the
Island of st. Helena to live in a
residence specially prepared for
him. 1t was here that he wrote
several able and interesting works
relating to his eyentful career.

W1NCHELL,s "whoo-

w pee" has found haven now
in Funk g. Wagnall'S new standard
dictionary. I'm all for lexicograph-
ers keeping up with living language
and so I applaud this new member
in the fellowship of phrases.
To be sure the learned often are
able to find in their researches that
this afternoons current slang has
it's roots in antiquity or is at the
very least a creation to be found
some few centuries back.
So it is with "Whoopee." Frank H.
Vizetelly, the big word and definition
man, cites the fact that in a
fifteenth century manuscript one of
Henry the Eighth's chaplains is
pictured as giving vent to, "whoope
aloud and thou shalt hear him blow
his horn :"
1t will be observed that the spell
ing has been slightly altered
through the ages, but the spirit re-
mains intact. If Bluff King Hal
was the first monarch to find
"whoopee" on the lips of his
countrymen, it must also be said
for him that it was also in his heart
and that he did much to promote it.
No Walter Winchell of the day
would have had the slightest
trouble in filling a whole column
with the names of girls about whom
the king was that way"

Balks Peace Move

OUCH frame of mind is what balks
Othe peace movement, what makes
it popular to sheer at the world
court, and what makes it impossible
for such minor effort as the Lon
don naval conference to succeed.
Since that conference opened, the
name of one delegate after another
has been paraded as though he, or
his associates, were responsible not
only for the particular move in
question, but for failure or success
as a whole.
Most of the proposing and talking,
however, especially if it were in
tended for tie public, has been done
with idea Of pleasing the folks back
home.
It looks now as though the con-
ference would succeed in drawing
up some kind of a. three-power pact,
and that the United States might
be able to have naval parity with
England at a saving of $3,000,0 00,-
900.
While the saving of such a vast
amount of money makes the con-
ference a good investment, it falls
far short of what most people hoped
for. and what will have to be &C
compilShed before naval limitation
or disarmament means anything.

Editor TimeS-I was agreeably
pleased and deeply impressed by the
good spirit, sportsmanlike attitude,
and fair play, manifested by the
clean sports-loving public and news
papers of indianapolis, and in fact
throughout the entire state, in the
recent high school basketball cham
pionship events, and especially in
reference to the performances of
the colored boys.
I am Negro, and a former world
champion athlete for years. I ex-
perienced this same spirit on fair
play by the press and public. AS
far as I can learn, sporting history
does not record single instance
where colored athletes who meas
ured up to the records or eXcelled
the performances of one of the
dominant group in athletic games,
where permitted to compete, failed
to get due credit and full praise,
whenever merited. All fair-minded
lovers of clean sports wish to see the
best man win, regardless of color.
Now what I want to know is, why
does this splendid spirit of fair
play end so abruptly with sports?
Why is it not practiced in other
walks Of life, where our group is
concerned2 We want no special
favors, or advantages, over other
groups in the great game Of life; we
ask only an equal opportunity to
win on our merits, in other words,
just an even break.
A fair field and no favor, that's the
right spirit,
A square deal and fair play to win
on your merit.
A fair field and no favor that's what
we plead,
A square deal in sports knows
neither color nor creed.
a fair field and no favor, well, who
couldn't win,
A square deal and no prejudice be-
cause Of ones skin,
A fair field and no favor Is all that
we ask
A square deal and fair play regard
less the task.

.NEAHATMA GANDHI is another
I1 old gentleman that prefers to
take chances, rather than retire.
Thus far he has not been entirely
successful, because the British gov
eminent refuses to call his bluff.
He supposed, of course, and so did
many other people, that he would
be arrested at the first overt act Of
defiance. Instead, he is being let
severely alone, while his sons, ad-
visers, and associates land in jail.
A new kind of strategy this, which
goes after the disciples, not the

Neither is that so inconsequential

THE SHEPHERD LIFE
Read John 10:7-16. Memory verse:
Il am the good shepherd" John
10:11)
MEDITATION
Jesus spoke of himself as a shep-
herd. The Psalnist spoke of God
as a shepherd. Ezekiel spoke Of
men and women as shepherds.
They were to care for other people.
"Ye, my sheep, the sheep Of my
pasture, are men" Matthew Arnold
spoke of his father as a shepherd.
In his Rugby Chapel he pens a
portrait of the man who led so
many other men to life:
Thou would'st not alone
Be saved, my father! Alone
Conquer and come to the goal,
Leaving the rest in the wild;
Still thou turnedst, and still
Beckonedst the trembler, and still
Gavest the weary they hand.
Therefore to thee it was given
Many to save with thyself;
And, at the end Of thy day,
o faithful shepherd! to come
Bringing thy sheep in thy hand.
PRAYER
Give us courage, confidence, and a
love that watches over, cares for
and comforts all thy creatures. great
and small. for thy loves sake.
Amen.

CCOTT then sailed on to King
~ Edward VII Land where at the
Bay of Whales he met Captain
Road Amundsen, who had arrived
on the Fran.
Scott carried ponies, as Shackle-
ton had done on his expedition. It
will be recalled that Scott had lost
faith in dogs on his first expedition,
when his dogs sickened and died.
Amundsen, however, carried dogs
and it will be remembered that the
ease with which he made his dash
to and from the south pole was due
! in large part to the efficiency of
his dog-teams.
Scott went on to point 100 miles
south of Ross island, where he
established a camp. Considerable
scientific work was carried on dur
ing the winter. Temperatures I'M
der go degrees below zero, Fahren-
heit, were common and once the
mercury fell to II below.
On Oct. 81, 1911-it was then
the Antarctic summer
started out on his dach for the pole,
his last journey. He had a journey
of 900 miles to make to reach the
pole.
In addition to ponies, he had two
motor sledgeS. These, however, did
not prove very useful. The ponies
pulled the sleds to the foot of the
Beardmore Glacier, but from then
on the Sleds were pulled by the
men themselves.
Scott used the same plan which
Peary had used in reaching the
north pole, starting out with large
group of men who turned back one
by one as the supplies were con-
sumed. They also placed food de-
pots along the way so that they
could draw upon them during the
return journey.

EOR heroism and for tragedy, few
L records in the story of mankind
equal that of Captain Robert Fall
con SCOTS last journey to the Ant
arctic.
The expedition attained its OBJ
jective, but Scott and four Of his
men, Wilson the scientific director
Of the expedition; Oates, the trans
port officer; Bowers and Evans, gave
up their lives.
These men, after incredible hard
ships, reached the south pole only
to find that Amundsen, the Nor
wegian explorer, had gotten there
four weeks ahead of them. And
then they started on the cruel re-
turn journey, a journey which none
Of them finished.
The story of that return journey
up to a few days before his death
was told by Scott in his diary. 1t
is one of the great epics Of man
kind.
The expedition set sail from New
Zealand on Nov. 26, 1910 The ship.
the Terra Nova, was almost sunk
by furious gales which were expert
enced in the Antarctic waters.
For three weeks, dense drift-ice
held back the ship. Scott found it
impossible to land at Cape Crozier
as he had planned and finally
anchored at Cape Evans in Mac
Murdo sound. Here he left one
group Of men Who planned to make
geological surveys.

ton Of sponsors Of the $15,000,-
600 bridge was to have traffic
outlets to the south Of the Vir-
gina approach. He said:
Existing legislation does not
provide for these approaches,

nial celebration in 1892 will
find this bridge across the POtO-
mac without its maximum value
