tha Lazette in the teeth of the Scribes and Pharisees: "Neither do I condemn thee; go and Bin no more."
There is no such thing in this world
as utter human depravity. "Somewhere
the Creator has left His mark and sign
upon the very worst End there is a way to reach the better nature if we had the boundless sympathy of Him
who told the woman to "go and sin no more."
Was Bertha Lazette right when she
said "Society hasn't done much, for
me, so we are quits on that score?"
What had society done for her it stole
the lifeblood from her and said "Move on or jump in the lake." Is society
tuits? We'll have that to answer for.
There will be less crime and wicked
ness, less heartbreaking sorrow, less
deadenlngs of the nerve and moral eense when the good people of any community stop saying "Move on!"
What a contrast. "And Jesus said unto her: Neither do
I condemn thee; go and sin no more.
Have you a daughter?
"MOVE ON!"
There is a cog loose somewhere in
our attempt to make the world better
It is hard to lay our fingers on It, But
the evidence is before us. Here is an
instance:
Not long ago, a woman, Bertha La
zette, was , brought before a police
magistrate who fined her $15 for drinking in an immoral resort and said to her: "Leave Chicago or jump
Into the lake."
And the woman said: "I haven's been
all that I should, but I never stole nor
ill treated a child, or Injured any one very badly; I've been my own worst enemy and society hasn't done much for me, so we are quits on that score.
But it Judge Going had spoken to me
when I was eighteen years old,
would certainly have followed his ad
Tlce I had pride In those days and
hope and ambition. Those are in
stincts that long ago died within me."
Can't you see it all? Mary Magdalen.
There is a cog loose somewhere in
our attempt to make the world better,
"Leave Chicago or jump into the
lalte" Move on!
An exceptional case? Not a bit of It Over and over the story ending "as It began. The big cities' and the
little towns all have the same story to
tell.
As a rule1, we do not strike helpless women. We only say, "Move on." What attempt does the country make to do a little life saving? Those of vs who think at all what do we do?
"Move on." -
Kot more than last week twenty-two
miles west of this place we said "Move
on, when we might have said as Jesus
of Nazareth said to a woman like Ber-
POST OFFICE SMALL But Local Visitors at Wawasee Had No Trouble With Their Mail.
POSTMASTER IS A FIEND.
PUSH, DON'T BARK. There was a time when it was said
of politics, "that it was not a gentle
man's game." That this Is not true today is not due to a sudden opening
of the clouds and a miracle perform
ed as in the old Greek plays, by a God
from the sky is well known. The rascal and the corrupt are slowly being driven out.
And how? By the entrance Into
politics of honest and uncorruptable men. No amount of barking on the
outside will change the face of things.
The man must be in politics. The measure to be used must be on of
building up, rather than tearing down.
The change for the better must be in the determined stand of the better element at the time of nomination in that way alone can the tone of the party be improved. Then comes the
question shall or shall not the man
who has been nominated be supported. Here is a nice and delicate ques
tion which will have to have a separ
ate determination in each individual case. Obviously if the nominee of
his own party is hopelessly too incap
able and corrupt the voter will have
hesitation in supporting him. But
here asain if on looking over the
ticket his man 13 better than the opponent he can safely vote for him. Personalities and the rancor of faction should not play a part when the
nominee of tie man's own party be
the better.
No better illustration of what we
mean can be given than the record in
his party of Theodore Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt has always been
a supporter of the republican party
and hi3 record Is too well known for
unriKhtness to need comment. Has
he not done not only a conspicuous
service to his party but to his country
by the stand he has taken as a party
man. No one can accuse him of being
corrupt.
And so In this approaching election
all over the country the republican
party can go to the voter and say
We want you to lay aside rancour
which is personal and factional look at the men, man for man, we have the
stronger ticket."
The party is an expression, James
Bryce said, of the will of the majority, the minority to gain recognition and
support for its own candidate in its
day, must support the party. No
amount of yelping on the outside will
do the good of determined honest
work on the inside.
The Richmond people who spend their vacations at Lake Wawasee have the privilege of mailing and receiving their letters through the smallest postoffice in the United States or as the postmaster, J. M. Sarget says, it is the smallest postoffice located between the state of Maine and the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. The building can be measured only in feet and is six high and five square. But is it is against the rules, only a privileged few ever get to see beyond the brass bars of the general delivery window. One of the Richmondites who has just returned, states that he was of the few when he looked on the inside and found quite a curiosity, as the postmaster is a fiend for souvenir cards and has a very large collection, which covers the inside of the structure.
EIGHT HIK0EDTOLKS
WHY ARE THEY SO VERY LARGELY IN THE MAJORITY!
MORE THAN THE DOG. An amusing and instructive post
lude to the Chautauqua season all over
the country is inconspicuously being carried out up at out of the way Osnkosh. Most of the talent which we have heard this summer all over the
United States is up there doing target
practice.
The International Lyceum Associa
tion meets every year the speakers
do their turns to an audience of Chau
tauqua managers and themselves
They gain new ideas learn how the
other fellows do it They are looked over by the Chautauqua managers and
noted as to their capabilities.
To the public it seems an idea of
poetic justice that these people should
try it on tnemseives De tneir own
dog. Yet as one views it in its broad
er light what an array of the minds
and voices that have not only brought
pleasure and entertainment to thous
ands but in a very much greater
sense influenced our very thoughts
our Ideas and our ideals. Next to the press we think as an instrument of uplift and influence for the good the Chautauqua stands In its relation to
the whole people. It is a place where
each individual speaker is offered a place to bring his contribution to human welfare. The close of the Chautauqua In Richmond leaves us all with memories that will be reflected in some way in our future life. It has made us smile or look grave but above all it has made us think. In view of the tremendous influence that the Chautauqua exerts, the meeting of the International Lyceum Association bears a much greater significance than can be estimated. It is more than "trying It on the dog."
COMMUNICATION.
Editor Palladium:
After reading your article in Tues
day's issue on "Wild Cat Banking and then remembering that the repub
lican party and quite naturally its mouthpieces were advocaters of the
square deal, l, as a private ciuzen, submit this in all fairness for your publication.
You come forth as a second John
Law, embark your slight craft on the sea of finance, and in not quite one
column, state a problem and the absolute solution thereof, that conserva
tive hard-headed bankers are unable to answer after a life time of experience.
The Oklahoma bank law has evi
dently come to you about seventh
handed, surely no closer. For instance,
you start out by making the assertion
that if the guarantee law applied nat
ionally, banks would pay 6 or 7 per
qen on time deposits, not for any le
gitimate purpose, but to lure the depositor by the attractive rate offered
to bring in his money. Next, if they
couldn't invest his money at a profit, they would, drawn from your conclusion, appropriate the whole show and skip. But of course this will have
no weight whatever with, anyone
knowing the law and only show your own ignorance as the law states, plainly that 4 per cent is the maximum amount to be paid. And this 4 per cent paid in the state of Oklahoma where they loan money from 8 to 12
per cent is correspondingly a safer rate than the customary 3 of Indiana.
Again you say that If the Oklahoma
law was adopted by the entire banking system, a group of speculators could get together, organize a bank, offer this "attractive" rate which you
(no doubt conscientiously) spoke of.
then make loans of any proportion whatsoever to themselves and invest
the money in big risks. I notice you make it just as wild cat as possible by having them invest it in a gold mine. No better answer can bo made here than the statement of the law itself, Sec. 13. It shall be unlawful for any active managing officer of any bank organized or existing under the laws of this state (Oklahoma) to borrow, directly or indirectly money from the bank with which he is connected. Such an act will be deemed a larency of the amount borrowed. You know, or at least I will give you credit with knowing that every penny of national, state, county and township money is already guaranteed. No matter how sound the bank, how many storms it has weathered or panics withstood, the funds must be additionally protected. These banks that hold this money have to buy surety bonds of the minimum amount that is ever on deposit and in case of failure the surety company pays the deposit at once. But you of the "square deal" party, how about the widow and workIngman, the accumulation of whose funds represent a life time of hard labor and sacrifice. How about their guarantee? Would you have their mite swallowed up in a suId. their
There Are Two Fctor la the Prnh lm, mm Inherited Tendency au Constant frnetlce The Origin o. the Innate Proclivity. That the great majority of persoi use the right hand with greater ski' than the left is doubtless due to tw.: influences an innate proclivity at. constant practice. The prefereno shown by most infanta at the age o one year for the use of the right bau: proves that there is an inherited tcuu ency. Further evidence of it Is foun in the greater ease with which any entirely new act is performed by the right than by the left hand. Training, how ever, is an important factor. A mature person; having lost the right hand by accident, can achieve wonders with the other if he only exercises patience, perseverance and a strong will. The more mysterious of the two factors in this problem is the inborn tend ency. How did it arise? There an exceptions to the rule. Perhaps two out of every hundred babies are left handed. But when you stop to think of it the natural inclination of the other ninety-eight is remarkable. A great many physiologists have speculated in regard to its cause without reaching any conclusion upon which all could agree. Dr. George M. Gould says In the Popular Science Monthly that right handedness is so thoroughly ingratiat ed in human nature that It must have been partially developed in the savagf ancestors of the race. Primitive man, in his opinion, must have felt a definite need for the exercise of his right hand in preference to his left, and that necessity must have been recognized and obeyed for a long period continuously The impulse could not welljbave dictated his habits in eating, for knives
and forks, are of recent origin, the modern gun had not been invented, and writing was practically unknown. Moreover, in such operations as chipping arrowheads, weaving baskets and wielding clubs, bows aud arrows It could not have mattered much which hand was employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to In volve the use of a shield, however, that object was probably held on the left side in order to protect the heart. Then as a matter of convenience the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spear and sword, and with habitual exercise came special skill. An attendant phenomenon was a finer organization of that particular center In the brain which controlled these movements and which was situated In the left half of the organ. The brain is the real seat of all dexterity, and something takes place there in correspondence with external efficiency. With an increased use of the right hand. Dr. Gould thinks, there must have been greater demands upon the right eye, because vision must precede the order to strike or to give peaceful signals. In this way there may have been developed a keener power of vision in the right eye than in the left. Dr. Gould assumes that there was and declares that "right handed people are right eyed" and that in their brains the center of vision is on the left side, in close proximity to that governing the right arm. While civilization was yet at a low level communication was carried on, especially with strangers, largely in the sign language. Barter laid the foundations of arithmetic and called into play the digits. The preference al
ready given to the right hand in battle may have guided men in the choice for
this service and also In official and social ceremonies. Computation, Dr. Gould points out, was an intellectual
process which was conducted in the speech center of the brain. Nature was compelled to take sides in locating the
latter, and she placed it to the. left of
the middle. Dr. Gould thinks that the
choice was governed by the employ
mont of the right hand for giving sig
nals. So intimately related are the functions of speech and vision and the control of the muscular efforts with the right arm that action would be quicker If the cerebral centers controlling them were closely associated. Before discussing the cause of left handedness Dr. Gould calls attention to the fact that with right handed people the left hand is occasionally called upon to perform a task of greater importance than its mate. In eating the fork Is used more than the knife. In playing a violin or violoncello the fingering is done with the left hand and the bowing with the right. It is suggested that some of these operations
may result from the superiority of the
