"It Is Human to Err"

The old adage, ''It Is human to err, "
seems to be working overtime these past
few days, and it looks very much as If
these errors" are going to result dis
astrously for the perpetrators. For
instance, there is the case in Annapolis,
where a collector for furniture COM
pany is charged with putting woman
and nine-day-old child out Of their
bed because of arrears in payment.
According to the. womans sister, 1t
was the wrong bed and the young man
is held under five hundred dollars bond
pending trial for assault. Then from
Norfolk, Va. comes another one. A
man reported to the police that ten
room house on his estate had been
stolen. Upon investigation it was found
that a wrecking company had been su-
thorized to raze a house of the same
number IN the next block That house
stfli stands. And lastly, there is the
case Of the woman in Montgomery,
Ala, who went to court to secure title
to q piece Of property willed by her
husband to a friend. She charged that
her mate had been insane for three
years before his death, in 1881. The
court held that inasmuch as they had
been married less than three years be-
fore. he died the marriage itself was
null and void and she was entitled to
nothing whatsoever from his estate.
So it can readily be seen that the
fielding averages" Of these three have
suffered considerably. If the collector
is proved guilty of assault and the
wrecking company of negligence they
viii be called to account for their
faults. The woman has already ex-
perienced her suffering by the court
ruling 1t is human to err" however,
and will be as long as time goes on.

It has been repeatedly stated that
during the great World War the long
columns marching to the front toucneo
their caps in reverence as they passed
the wayside shrines on the open high
ways of France. What the cross stands
for and symbolizes is supremacy needed
in these critical days through which we
are passing. In all our effort after re-
adjustment and the restoration OF conf

and sacrifice play their large part. We
cannot recorder the worlds habit and
practice solely with q view to what they
may render to us In the way OF satisfac-
ton and increasing comfort. We are
called upon today, possibly more than
ever before, to consider what we m
dividually must contribute by way OF
self -sacriflce that the larger interests OF
our fellows may be served. The church
Is particular, and those who profess
loyalty to Christ are called upon to give
a finer demonstration Of their loyalty
by more generous and self-efacing
course than they have hitherto pursued.
Those who reverence the cross and its
uplifted Savior cannot regard them

the streets of Rome, where the earliest
Christians sought refuge, and may be a
naturalization Of the primitive concept
Of lighting the way for the departed
spirit at the outset Of its long, dark
journey. In any event, the candle has
come down to us as q symbol OF death.
On the other hand during the past
few years it has been used widely to
give an artificial veneer Of romance
and antiquity to ultra-modern sur
roundings. 1t is not employed because
of its usefulness as an Illuminating de-
vice, but only as stage setting to
make an impression on visitors. In
most households the candles are
brought out only when there is COM
pany. It is a symbol of the ages

In the one case it Is a symbol Of
reality itself, in the other of a hope
less fight from reality.
This contrast has been grasped by
the child mind, The one sees the arti-
ficiality which its parents probably are
inhibited from seeing. The candle is
"for company"-for making an i'm

capable time when God won't be able

The Districts concern is that Con-
gress approach the matter Of putting
this legislation into final shape by con-
sidering 1t in the same light that
State Legislature would view it. Such
an attitude is reflected in the examples
Of State legislation on the subject
treated in the series Of Star articles on
the estate tax, brought to a conclusion
elsewhere in these columns today. That
attitude is to regard the estate tax as

visions permits State to share in the
proceeds on an 1920 basis with the
Federal Government-not to regard it
as an instrument to probe additional
dollars from the taxpayers. Such an
attitude is exemplified in the action of
many States that by law hold their COL
lections under the estate tax down to
the 80 per cent credit allowed by the
Federal Government for taxes paid to
the States, and which take the addi-
tional precaution Of so wording their
legislation as to reduce or even to
annul the State levy should the Fed

vantage of revenue possibilities is taken
by those States that have made their
