' Foreign Representative Carper ter A Company. 121 Michigan Avenue, Chicage, TIME TO AVOID MISTAKES: — It is a poor use of the state's time for legislators in the few remaining days of the session to enact into laws their prejudices and private grievances for selfish purposes. We have every confidence that a legislature that has often given proof of its good sense and fair intentions will not make itself and the state ridiculous by adopting some of the measures which, by their very nature, indicate the misguided motives back of the promoters. When a legislative body attempts to say what kind of books the people shall use or not use, or when a group of politicians is willing to destroy a great agency for the state's own good in order to gel control of the appointments and spend the state's money, the danger signal should he run up by those in control. Instead of this we have some of the managers of the party in power egging on projects that lead to the demoralization of the state's affair.-? and to party ruin. True statecraft is not founded in selfishness. There arc not many bills that the legislature need bother about; there are a few that ought to be passed, and mor< that ought to be killed. One of these of course, is the bill that proposes to seize for spoils the state highways and their management. No more ini portant measure is before the legis-’ laturc —important in this, that if it i:t passed not only will good work have been undone and an evil example adopted, but Indiana's plan to serve its people without paying toll to spoilsmen will have failed. —Indianapolis News. Well, we have come to the end ot another congressional fizzle, the GSth session which started off with the usual promises to do the things notess i,' io make every body rich, happy and contented has written a record which spells Z-E-R-O. The hill designed to assist the farmers of the country and known as the Dickerson cooperative measure was lost because of a divided opinion and a substitute bill also became lost Monday. Il is almost beyond belief that year after year we go on electing men to congress whose greatest idea of good g i' •rnment is to boost their own salaries c.r figure out some means where by lhey can put an extra or two on the p roil and draw a portion of that ; I'owiince.

VALUES (A word to women) There's a certain kind of value we call intrinsic worth — Makes the difference between a diamond and bit of glass; . Between a professional smile and a bubbling schoolboy’s mirth — Between this solid gold and younder polished brass Between shoddy goods and stuff will stand any test on earth ■ That will wear, keep shape and color —examined, will more than pass. This Is the kind of value the world each day demands — No woman wants to be Dimmed out -of herself or her cash. And whether you’re picking profession, or dress, or selecting a man Be sure there Is something to it—or him*—more than flash You’ll find all grades on the market, get what's worth while, you can, 1 No wamn lias to put up with just a bundle of trash. | —A. 1).

JUNIOR TOPIC—The Savior on the Cross. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Crucifixion nf Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Christ Died for Our Sins. This lesson brings us face to far* with the greatest tragedy of nil times. No record In the annals of history approaches it; it Is the very climax of ell history. Though ualgue is Its blnckBern, frAn It flows streauin es liberty and life for all the world. It is highly Important that every teacher have personal experience of Christ's death for himself, and then get his pupils to see that Christ's death was instead of their own death. I. The Place of Crucifixion (v. 33). They led him away to Calvary, a hill north of Jeruealem, resembling a skull. "Calvary" Is the Latin word and “Golgotha” Is ths Hebrew. This Is a most significant name for the place where man's redemption was accomplished. The skull is an apt picture of man's condition as the result of sin—life and Intelligence are gone, leaving only the daifit. empty cavern which once contained them. 11. His Companions on the Cross (v. 33). Two malefactors were crucified with Him. Their names are not given. This is a fulfillment of the Scriptures. “He was numbered with the transgressore” (Ise. 58:12). 111. Hie Forgiving Love (v. 34). He cried. "Father forgive them.” He doubtless had In mind not only the soldiers who acted for the government, hut the Jews, who, In their blindness, were ignorant es the enormity of their crime. IV. The World Revealed (vv. 34-43). Jesus Christ on the cross Is the su preme touchstone of human life, and discloses th* world’s heart. Take a cross section of the world at any time since Christ was crucified, and representatives of the various classes therein were found around Jesus on the cross. I. The Covetous (t. 34). They gambled for His seamless robe right under the cross where He wss flying. This represents those whose primary Interest in Christ is a means to get gale. . 2. The Indifferent (v. 35). “The people stood beholding." They gar.ed upon Him with indifference. The ' great mate 5f Hte world gaze upon ! the crucified Christ with atolid indifI ference. 3. The Scoffers (vv. 35-36). (1) The rulere reviled Him for His claim to be the Savior. They wanted » Savior, but not a crucified Savior. Meny today are religious, but have only contempt for a salvation which -'enters in an atonement made by l blood. (2) The soldiers raviled Him for claiming to be a king. The title, “King of the Jews,” had ceu placed over Him In bitter irony, but It was true for, by right Os the DsvidlC Covenant, He shall be one day King over lersoi (TT flam Tit-lfl). The fact that the superscription was In Greek, Hebrew and lAtifi shows that he was t» b« * king over all the worid (3) The Ttnpenltent Malefactor (v, W). This brutal man Joined In reviling the savior, even though he was under condemnation. 4. The Penltesit Malefactor (vv. 40 ,43). The conscious sinner who discerned the heart of the Savior prayed for m*rey. The man confessed his sin against God and cried to Jesus for salratio®. He saw that the flying One was the forgiving God. The fact that he acknowledged bls sin showed that he was penitent. His request that Christ remember him when He came Into His kingdom shows that he reeng nized that the One who wag dying on the cross was making atonement for Sin, and that He would come to reign as King. His salvation Was Immediate. Chrlat said, "Today shalt thou be with me In Paradise.” V. The Death es Chrlat (w. 44-4 R). So shocking was the crime that nature herself threw abound the Son of God a shroud to hide Him from the godless crowd. When the price of sin was paid He criOd with a laud voice, ahowlng that He still had vitality, that His death was not through exhaustion, but by Hla sovereign will. In This Life j It Is In this life alone we ran learn lessons sis patience and self denial, for there are no sick-beda to watch by, no j sufferers to soothe, no mourners to comfort In the mansions of the Father’s house. —George Macdonald. Foundation of Peace The IMvlne benediction is pronounced upon peacemakers. But then pekcA, to be of raise, must be persaaneat: end to be permanent it must be founded on sound principles.

VETERAN EXPIRES '' ’’-I ' ■ MAJ. GEN. J. II WILSON WILMINGTON. Del. —Maj. Gen. Janies Harrison Wilson, retired, last of the civil war corps commanders and the last member of Gen. Grant's staff, dfed suddenly at his home Monday, Feb. 23. He had been ailing for several months, but when ho arose Monday ho said he felt well. Shortly after ward, while shaving, he was seised with a heart attack and fell to the floor, dying in a few minutes. Geu. Wilson, who was 87 years old. had a long and distinguished career as a soldier, engineer, railroad man. and author. He led the troops in the raid in whiyh Jefferson Davis, presitlent of the ronfederate states, was captured, and was one of the best known of the cavalry generals in the Union armyGen. Wilson retired from military service in 1870 to devote his time to railroad work, but returned to the aimy service during the Spam'shAmerican war. Again, he volunteer ed at the time of the Boxer rebellion and was one of the American generals in the international force at that I hue. Fails On His First Excursion Into Crime (UNITED I‘ItESS SERVICE*) Chicago, March 3. —Edward Fey, a black haired asthetic appearing young man of. 25, whose vocation is that of teacher of manual training in a public school, today freely told how he tried banditry to raise SBO. The lone excursion into crime failed. Fey was arrested last night on information obtained from Stanton Cady, the former's companion, who was shot. Fey, Cady and C. W*. Porter attempted to rob the Lexington theater last Saturday night. The manager and some employes interfered. the youthful robbers fled and a police flivver squad appeared and fired several shots. The youths returned the fire and ran into an alley. Cady was shot in the arm and Fey helped him over a fence. Then Fey and Porter escaped. A lew moments later Fey got a taxicab, returned to the alley and managed to slip Cady out and drove bim home. Hut a police officer saw Cady l>eing helped into his home and instituted inquiries. The roundup followed. “I flooded money; 1 needed SSO right away," Fey told police. "I couldn't got enough ahead from my salary, to make up lhe sum, and so I decided I'd get it some other way. I considered the plan about a week ago and Saturday night we tried it out.” Fey readily admitted being the leader. Porter, a vinegar salesman, who expects soon to be a father, and Cady, also confessed. Two girls, friends of the three youths, were taken into custody. o Denies Charges Against Riley Hospital Hoard ' Indianapolis. *March 3. — (United Press.)—Charges that an appropriation of s2so,Wit) sought from the leg islaturc for the lliley Memorial Hospital lor crippled children was to be used to reimburse men who had ad- , van<''<l money to the institution were i flatly denied today by Hugh McK. 1 Laudori, president of the memorial ' committee.
