out on this I was mighty short

I told her we'll honey, it's for
charity and maybe I can get by.
She said, "its a good thing it is for
charity, or you would be in danger

Then I got to thinking that I
didn't have much material, so 1 de-

that I better drop by Austin where
the State Legislature was in SCI

A PROBLEM OF THE AGES

Recently pastor began his sermon with
statement which sounds quite familiar. He
said:
There is lawlessness everywhere Chill
dren no longer obey their parents. 1t is evil
dent that the end of things is at hand"
Then the preacher told his congregation
that the words were not original with him,
nor even an utterance of the present day, but
that they had been translated from an in
scription found among ruins in ancient AS
syria, dating centuries before the time of the
patriarch Abraham.
Throughout all recorded history such
pessimism regarding the future of the race
has been expressed from time to time Now
and then an era of comparative peace and
quiet has been experienced, only to be follow
ed by recurring outbreaks of violence and
lawlessness.
While present day conditions are bad
enough, it seems that on the whole they are
better than those of the past There is more
thought given to the relief Of suffering, to
the betterment of industrial conditions, to

THE NATIONAL COMEDY

An interesting AMI almost comic situa-
ton in Congress is commented on by VIM. L
Daley, Washington representative of the Ma
tional Editorial Association, in recent news
letter. 1t concerns control of the new Con-
gress elected last fall which seems within
reach of either of the two parties that wants
it,
Strangely enough, according to Mr..
Daley, neither party appears to want control
and its accompanying responsibilities. If the
Republicans organize the new Senate and
House, coalition of Democrats and Insur-
gent Republicans can thwart their legislative
plans as has been demonstrated in certain
recent instances. If the Democrats gain con-
troll, Republican President could easily de-
feat any legislation not to his liking through
the veto power.
So, whatever happens, it is very likely
that the next Congress will be rather futile
body, incapable of any accomplishments upon
which to appeal to the country in the cleo
lions of 1882. And neither party seems de-
sirous of taking the responsibility of lead
ership when prospects of making political
capital seems so remote.
Although the Republican radicals have
made lot of noise during the present SEES
sion, they have not gotten very far with their
socialistic program In fact, it is quite evil
dent that the country at large is getting out
of patience with their visionary schemes and
the obstructive tactics they have adopted in
an effort to put them through.
Seldom, if ever, in the history of the
country have national politics been in more
chaotic condition, and leaders of the various
groups are all at sea with respect to the out
come. Therefore we may see unusual and
even frantic efforts at buck-passing at Wash
ington during the next few months. And
buck-passing is an indoor sport at which pol
iticians are past masters
Their antics in this line between now
and the next presidential election will assume
the aspect of a national comedy.

the protection of the helpless and to other
humanitarian enterprises than ever before.
Although the World War gave civiliza-
ton severe test, recovery has been rapid
and the ground lost is being speedily regain
ed. 1t must be remembered that war has
marked the history of every generation of
mankind, and the same is true of lawlessness,
oppression and every other manifestation of
human imperfection.
1t is reasonable to believe that these will
always exist in greater or less degree, so long
as good and evil struggle for mastery in the
minds and hearts of men.
