An Eye for an Eye
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, arid a tooth for a tooth: "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." St. Matthew 5:38-39. Those prophetic words of Jesus Christ are as true today as when he first uttered them. In fact, the truth of their meaning is as old as the world. And it is because the inhabitants of the world have always gone contrariwise to this doctrine that injustice rules from the seats of the mighty. The "eye for an eye" policy rules our country today. For years we have been governed by the Republican party. During those years grew up unfettered the hideous monster, monopoly, that has foully done away with competition and foisted an inefficient, expensive and oppressive industrial system on the nation. A system that enriches the few and impoverishes the many. Today the Democrats are in power; placed there by the votes of the oppressed seeking freedom. Are they turning the other cheek by enacting legislation founded on the principles of equal justice? No, theirs is the old, old policy of eye for eye and tooth for tooth. Witness the graduated income tax provision of the pending tariff bill and Attorney General McReynolds' brilliant plan, founded on the same idea of leaving the root undisturbed while whacking away at the branches, of settling the trust question by a graduated tax on industries. The latter was that the larger the gross business the higher the tax on a percentage basis that government should levy. For concentrated essence of assininity and furthering the cause of inequality, McReynold's idea deserves the prize! If McReynold's would but reverse his telescope and look through the right end, he would see that the root of the inequality lies in allowing discounts or rebates to prevail in industry. It is the greater discount obtained through its larger purchasing power that enables a trust to monopolizeits particular branch of industry. Abolish the discount and monopoly's only foundation vanishes and a regulated and fair and constructive competition takes its place. How much better off we would be as a people if high government officials would exercise their talents in solving questions according to the principles of justice. For instance, instead of trying to equalize conditions between the poorly paid and those well off by exempting the one from any income tax and hitting the other on a graduated scale up, how much better and fairer all the way round it would be to establish a government minimum wage law. Such a measure would protect all laoor against wage cutting. It would be a great benefit to the entire country as 'well, because every cut in wages lessens the consumptive power of the nation just as much as the cut amounts to. By following this provision with its corollary, non-employment insurance, the citizenship of the country would be placed on a basis where a uniform or equal income tax could be levied and every citizen would meet just that share of government's expenses that the benefits he derived under it necessitated. Equality of opportunity, God's fatherly desire for His children on earth, will be long in coming if we search for it by looking through the wrong end of the telescope all the time. It will be impossible of attainment as long as political parties and classes shortsightedly use their power in passing retaliatory legislation. Retaliation, as a principle of law, spells injustice. And you can not correct one injustice by substituting for it another injustice.
tary of state must maintain varies in the same proportion. This paper holds no brief for Mr. Bryan as a political entity. For Mr. Bryan, a paid servant of the people of . the United States, however, it does desire justice. And justice is not being done
him in expecting him to maintain the office of secretary of state on a salary of $12,000 a year. Nor would it be justice to ask him to impoverish himself by spending the savings of other years on the office. The last secretary of state, Philander Knox, was a Pittsburgh millionaire. He had made his money directly or indirectly through service to the great monopoly lords. He could afford a dignity that was above the lecture platform. Mr. Bryan is not a monopoly millionaire. He is one of the plain people of this nation. And when he comes out openly and earns additional expense money from the people by delivering to them paid lectures, we feel his honesty and aboveboardness deserves commendation rather than censure.
Mr. Bryan's Salary Senator Bristow raised a great hue and cry in the senate yesterday because Secretary of State William J. Bryan announces it is necessary for him to deliver paid lectures in order to raise enough additional income to enable him to maintain properly the office he holds. Senator Bristow thinks that $12,000 is enough on which to maintain the dignity of the office. He points out that Thomas Jefferson, a
hundred years ago, maintained the office on $3,500 a year. Jefferson may have done so, though we have always been led to believe that he had a large income for those times from other sources. But even if Ire did is no reason for comparing his income with the present income provided for the present secretary of state. Times change mightily in a century and expenses vary accordingly. The weakest civilized nation of the earth a hundred years ago has become one of the great- ' est today. And the position our present secre-
i AMERICAN SEES ENGLAND'S "CROWD"
From "Crowds," by Gerald Stanley Lee. I could not but look about how could I do otherwise than look about? a lonely American walking at last past all these nobly haunted doorways and windows for your idealists or interpreters, your men who bring in the sea upon your streets and the mountains on your rooftops; who still see the wide, still reaches of the souls of men beyond the faint and tiny roar of London. I could not but look for your men of imagination, your poets; for the men who build the dreams and shape the destines of nations because they mold their thoughts. I do not like to say it. How shall an American, coming to you out of his long, flat literary desert, dare to say it? Here, where Shakespeare played nightly, and like a great boy with the world; where Milton, Keats, Wordsworth, Browning, Shelley, and even Dickens flooded the lives and refreshed the hearts of the people; here, in these self-safe streets, going past the same old, gentle, smoky temples -where Charles Lamb walked and loved a world, and laughed at a world, and even made one lifted over his London forever into the hearts of men. I can only say what I saw those first few fresh days: John Galsworthy out with his camera his beautiful, sad, foggy camera; Arnold Bennett stitching and stitching faithfully twenty-four hours a day big curious tapestries of little things; H. G. Wells, with his retorts, his experiments about him, his pots and kettles of humanity in a great stew of steam, half hopeful, half dismayed, mixing up his great, new, queer masses of human nature; and (when I could look up again) G. K. Chesterton divinely swearing, chanting, gloriously contradicting, rolled lustily through the wide, sunny spaces of His Own Mind; and Bernard Shaw (all civilization trooping by), the eternal boy, on the eternal curbstone of the world, threw stones; and the Bishop of Birmingham preached a fine, helpless sermon.
IN MY OWN ALBUM
Fresh clad, from heaven in robes of white, A young probationer of light, Thou wert my soul, an album bright. A spotless leaf: but thought and care, And friend and foe, in foul or fair, Have "written strange defeatures" there; And Time with heaviest hand of all, Like that fierce writing on the wall, Hath stamped sad dates he can't recall; And error gilding worst designs Like speckled snake that strays and shinesBetrays his path by crooked lines; And vice hath left his ugly blot, And good resolves, a moment hot, Fairly begun but finished not; And fruitless late remorse doth trace Like Hebrew lore, a backward pace Her irrecoverable race. Disjointed numbers, sense unknlt, Huge reams of folly, shreds of wit, Compose the mingled mass of it. My scalded eyes no longer brook Upon this ink-blurred thing to look. Go, shut the leaves and clasp the book. Charles Lamb.

At a dinner in New York, James Montgomery Flagg, the clever artist, told this story to illustrate the influence of the artistic atmosphere: "You can't escape the artistic atmosphere. Even my cook cannot escape it. She came Into the studio today, and said: 'About the potatoes for lunch, sir will you have them in their jackets or in the nood?' " The Popular Magazine.
QOIBE
At the Murray. Week of July 14 "Paid in Full."
Pail In Full. After all if the play is the real thing, then there's a real thing at the Murray this week. It is called "Paid in Full" by Eugene Walters. "Paid in Full" scored an immense success the first three performances, one of the sensational successes of the season. Its boldness, its simplicity and its originality all told in its favor. Mr. Walters has taken his theme right out of every day life of the upper West Side of New York and had played his dramatic cards so well that he had his audience right in his hand and not only interested them intensely, but gave them a great surprise and a real thrill. Mr. Sayles, in the part of Jimsey is seen at his best, this is without a doubt the best part he has yet appeared in and by his clever work will no doubt make many new friends during the balance of the week.

MISS LEROY. Who is appearing at the Murray theatre this week in "Paid in Full."
Worth, as Emma Brooks, handles her part well, while Joe Schafer, has never been seen to better advantage than in the part of Captain Williams. Paid in Full will run for the balance of the week with the regular matinee tomorrow and Saturday.
Brown's In Town. "Brown's In Town", one of the funniest plays ever written will be the offering of the Francis Sayles Players at the Murray all next week with the usual matinees. This play is one of the best comedies that Mr. Sayles could have selected, as it has proven very popular where ever it has been produced.
"The Man From Home." To Indiana theatre goers there is no better play known than "The Man From Home" which the Francis Sayles Players will offer at the Murray theatre, week of July 28th. This play was used by Wm. Hodge for several seasons. Mr. Sayles will appear in the title role.
Palace. The Palace is showing today a splendid Pilot film "Sanitary Gulch," a rollicking western comedy that tells in a funny way how an agent sold his razors. With this is shown an excellent Thanhouser, "An Errand of Mercy," a film story in which a young physician receives a greater fee than gold. Also a Majestic, "The Ingrate," a Billy Garwood feature. Mutual Observers are given free to ladies today. Thursday the great Irish play "The Banshee" a Kay-Bee and the Keystone comedy, "The Tell-Tale Light."

Child labor laws in Richmond are not being violated, according to John H. Johnson and George Bishop, of this city, members of the child welfare committee, recently appointed by the state board of charities. The reason that few, if any children are employed here in violation of the law is due to the facts that there are few commodities manufactured here where children could be employed and because Richmond manufacturers are interested to a large extent in the general uplift of humanity, according to the members of the board. Mr. Bishop was appointed a member of the board because of his knowledge of conditions existing here and his general knowledge of children, having been truant officer for Wayne county for the last several years. Mr. Johnson was appointed because of his connection with White's Institute in Wabash county where incorrigible and dependent children are sent. A local messenger service was the only company in this city which tended to violate the law in employing children under fourteen years of age, who had failed to get permission to leave school. No children under fourteen years of age can be employed and any children under sixteen who have failed to secure a permit from the school authorities make their employers liable tp a fine of from $10 to ?50. In all of Bishop's investigations at local factories he has found no violations.
