A Contrast The reunion of the Eighty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Regiment on Sept. 19 and the drive of the Harry Ray post for membership in the American Legion presents a vivid contrast. While the veterans of one war are one by one entering the Invisible army, the soldiers of a later campaign are perfecting an organization that presently will take the place of the G. A. R. In the measurement of time it has not been so long ago that the veterans of the G. A. R. returned from a war to resume their, places in

the vocations they had left. But the years have

been no respecter of person or station, until to

day only a few are left of that heroic band.

Attendance at their annual meetings has dwindled from year to year, but the departure

of their comrades has drawn together in a closer bond of unity the men who remain. Soon not

enough will remain to hold stated meetings. And a3 the G. A. R. becomes a record of his

tory, the American Legion will take its place.

Animating its members is the same spirit of loy

alty to the republic and its principles that has

given to the G. A. R. its prestige and honorable

estate. Worthy men will follow in the footsteps of the veterans of the Civil war. They will hold aloft the same banner of high idealism and lofty patriotism which has endeared the G. A. R. to the hearts of Americans. As the Legion grows in number and the members of the G. A. R. are called to their final reward citizens of our republic will cherish the memory of the men who preserved the Union and revere the names of the soldiers who enlisted for the cause of democracy.

The Open Saloons "While it has, of course, all the time been assumed that the War-Time Prohibition law in the United States would be strictly enforced, it is good to have a fresh reminder from the AttorneyGeneral that this is the case, notwithstanding the pressure of work in other directions," says the Christian Science Monitor. "Many people, no doubt, in various cities of the United States, seeing some liquor saloons still open and apparently doing a little business, and also an occasional wagon-load of beer passing along the street, have wondered at these sights, since the war-time prohibition law has now been in effect for two months. The answer to the questionings of such observers is simple. Some liquor dealers in business when the war-time prohibition law took effect wished to cling to their vocation as long as there should be any shred of it left. So. instead of dropping the whole thing at once on July 1, when the liquor business practically ceased for good in the republic, these persistent saloon-keepers began to sell beer of such

small percentage of alcoholic content as it seemed the law might allow. There was nothing in the liquor laws to prevent their keeping their

establishments open, so long as they did not sell intoxicating liquor. Strange as it may seem, when the war-time prohibition law took effect, there was no generally recognized exact line, legally and finally fixed, between intoxicating and non-intoxicating beverages. That is to say, it had not been finally determined by judicial action

what precise degree of alcoholic content made a

beverage intoxicating liquor. The,department of

internal revenue promptly announced that it classified as intoxicating liquor all beverages containing mase than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol; and that department has consistently adhered to this position. Some of the brewers had prepared to meet whatever demand there might be for "one-half per cent" beer, and many saloonkeepers, where prohibition had not already been in effect, laid in a stock of it on trial. The liquor interests, meanwhile, set up a claim that it was legal to sell beer containing 2 per cent of alcohol, and engaged distinguished counsel to support that claim in the courts. On the strength of this action, some saloon-keepers, notably in New York City, whatever el3e they may have done, lost no time in beginning to sell "2 per cent" beer. Some men who had been in the liquor trade in other cities, glad of any sort of prospect of continuing their business, in the hope that there would be a period of traffic of the usual proportions between the problematical expiration of war-time prohibition and the beginning of constitutional prohibition, next Jenuary, grasped at the straw apparently thus offered. Prosecutions were begun by the department of justice, but in some sections the decisions of the federal courts were such that the dealers felt encouraged to continue to dispense "234 per cent" beer. "Not a few saloon-keppers in a number of cities have evidently assumed, of late, that the agents of the department of justice were so much absorbed in the campaign to reduce the cost of

living, and general attention was so occupied

withihis subject, that they could depart from a rigid compliance with the law without detection. But they were evidently mistaken, as they perhaps may have been convinced by about 70 arrests suddenly made in New York City, and a score or more in Chicago, a few days ago. The Attorney-General, A. Mitchell Palmer, undertook further to correct their erring judgment by publicly reiterating his promise to enforce war-time prohibition, and saying that arrests in other

cities might be expected. Mr. Palmer pointed out plainly that, even if the heavy burden of

work resting on the department agents made them a little tardy in reaching the offenders, there was yet ample time in which to initiate prosecutions. "The department of justice evidently does not intend that saloon-keepers shall violate the law with impunity, for the chief prosecutor declared that the task of running down profiteers in food and other necessaries would not prevent the strict enforcement of prohibition, with the exception of the sale of light beer in jurisdictions where the courts have held that it is not intoxicating within the meaning of the law. There is reason for all elements in the nation to believe that what the attorney-general promises to do he will do. He will, no doubt, be greatly assisted in his work by the measure which has been passed by the house and, it is understood, informally agreed to in the senate, designating any beverage containing mor ethan half of 1 per cent of alcohol as intoxicating liquor."

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

DICKENS Charles Dickens did most of his writing- In the rnornlnr. He usually was content with the hours between nine and on. Ho rarely wrote In tha afternoon. In his youthful days he often composed at night, but this habit was abandoned later. Ho could turn bff page after page at great speed and oftentimes the custom of printing his novels In parts made this necessary. He was seldom far ahead of the printer. But ordinarily he considered three pases a good day's work. If he did four and they satisfied htm he thought It an unusually good day. He liked to write. Ha described himself as one "who writes and grins, as if he thought he were very funny Indeed." This was when he was well Into his story. In starting a novel he was extremely slow. He could not hit upon names that satisfied him. His most loved hero was Trotfleld, Trotbury. Copperboy and Copperston before be finally became Copperfleld. But once in his stride he seldom rewrote, and ha plunged ahead Joyously. For every hour riven to writing; he set aside another for exercise. He describes bow he "walked about the black streets of London, 15 and 20 miles many a night when all the sober folks had gona to bed." As he walked, whether in London or Paris streets or along- the Kentish cliffs, he was planning his story. But he was not so absorbed as to be oblivious to the people he passed. Quaint and commonplace men and women In city streets and country lanes flashed for a moment before his eyes and the next day were made Immortal In his tales.

Hoover Lifts the Lid

From the Pittsburg Leader. IMPORTANT as is the discussion on the "peace" treaty, the statement by Herbert C. Hoover on the eve of his departure from Europe for the United States, is more vital. Mr Hoover exposes some of the more intimate facts connected with world food supply. Compelling as may be the interst in the "peace" treaty that which attends the matter of daily food is far more so. It Is possible that had Mr. Hoover been clothed with greater powers than was the case, much of the evil of the food situation might not now exist. He has penetrated the trickery of the food speculators as he did the schemes of tacticians who were setting up a return of the Hapsburg dynasty in Hungary while the statesmen of the world looked on and saw nothing. It is perhaps just a little unfortunate that Mr. Hoover d.'d not expose the speculative element In the food situation until other Americans at homa hd made the main body of facts known. Only recently Alfred W. McCann, of New York, gave a more or less detailed statement of facts accompanied by a flood of statistics which came as a revelation to most Americans. What Mr. Hoover says now Is repetition in more general terms of what Mr. McCann Bald before. The food administrator has corroborated the investigations of a private citizen, but has failed to give all the explanatory facts so thoroughly. Mr. McCann declared that food prices are bound to fall in the near future and the speculators will be lucky If the drop is not precipitous. Mr. Hoover now says the same thing. Mr. McCann supplied statistics of production to prove that the production could not be taken care of except by Bpeculatlve storage. Mr. Hoover now says the same thing. Mr. McCann said that If tho government had been less Interested In politics of doubtful order and more concerned In the welfare of the mass of the people, we should not now have the distressing food situation. Mr. Hoover now agrees with him perfectly, r Mr. Hoover, In fact, asserts now that had the gov

ernments acted with Intelligence the speculators would

have had their schemes exposed to their own understand

ing last winter. They would have been forced to realize

that their dreams of colossal profits could not work out.

That is the truth which should have been thundered

around the world but was not

It is better perhaps that the truth be brought out now

than never, but why it should have been concealed for a full year is beyond the comprehension of the common

man except on one hypothesis that the governments did not want to Interfere with the speculation in the lives of the people, or felt that they did not dare to obstruct the flow of exorbitant profits. Mr. Hoover points out now after Mr. McCann has exposed the bitter facts in the case that there were two easy remedies, either of which would have relieved the people of America of the food difficulty raising the blockades in Europe last fall, or laying an embargo upon exports. Neither was done, In order that the men in control of the lives of nations be able to play out their game of nauseous politics at Versailles. Mr. Hoover now admits what Mr. McCann eald a short time ago the only voice raised that carried the ring of facts, figures and conviction that there Is no shortage of foods anywhere. What seemed to be a shortage is only in those countries where blockades were in force. But even In those regions as northern Europe for example Mr. Hoover confesses now that there is really a glut of foods. It remains out of sight because of the blockade. Foods are hidden away in every corner of the world waiting on the chance for speculation when the blockades are raised. The Leader has at different times expressed the opinion that in view of the figures of production It was impossible to understand how there could be a shortage. Mr. Hoover now confirms that Judgment. There is no shortage except that created by the artificiality of b'ockades and greedy speculators. And the American people are the chief victiras of that arbitrary condition.

Oliver Twist was born about seventy-five miles from London, in the lying-in room of the almshouse. His mother, worn and exhausted from a long and painful Journey on foot, had been found unconscious in the road, and had been carried to the only place of refuge for such as she seemed to be. His name he owed to the inventive genius of the parish beadle, who remarked: "The last one was a 's' Swubble I named him, the next one as comes will be Unwin, and I've got names ready made to the end of the alphabet and all the way through it again, when we come to the 'z'." The wronged and unhappy mother died without revealing her name, and the only proofs of the boy's Identity, a locket and ring, kept even at the price of starvation, were 6tolen from the corpse beforeit was cold by the old crone who had been in attendance. The orphan's childhood, passed in cruel neglect and semi-starvation, was brought to an abrupt close by his own unparallelled act. Desperate through hunger, he and his companions determined that one of them shall secure for all an extra helping of the thin and watery gruel which is their principal diet. Nine-year-old child

though he was, he was "reckless with

misery." He rose from the table and.

advancing to the work-house master,

oasin ana spoon in nana, he said:

nease sir, I want some more." Such unheard-of darins rer-pivpri

speedy treatment. The next morning a bill, posted upon the gate, oifers five, pounds to anv one who will takn

Oliver Twist off the hands of the

parish.

Then there follows a brief stnv as

the apprentice of a coffin maker and undertaker, who, with an eye to ef

fect. promDtlv makes the sad-fared

little waif a chief mourner at tho

funeral of children, and "many were

tne processions little Oliver headed, in a hat band reaching down to his knees, to the admiration of all the mothers in the town."

or agm. 'l he curious behavior of his new associates Is only a game to tho innocent boy, when Fagin places jewelry, katches, handkerchiefs and snuff

him. The true meaning of it all burst

upon me norniiea unver wnen he Is taken on an expedition and sees the "game" in full operation. Dazed and confused, he is. the only one captured and taken before a magistrate. His innocence is established, but he faints in the court room, and is taken home by the remorseful Mr. Brownlow, the man whose pocket he was supposed to have Dicked. In his new frienH'a

house, Oliver is nursed through a serious illness, and better days seemed to have dawned for him, when he again falls into the hands of Fagin. This is no chance happening, for the old crook, dreading the information which the boy may give, has him kidnapped, while on an errand for Mr. Brownlow, by Nancy, a wretched girl of the streets, pupil of Fagin, and mistress of Bill Sikes, the greatest ruffian of the whole gang. In order to close Oliver's mouth, by making him also a criminal, he is taken along on a housebreaking attempt. Protesting, he is put through a small window that he may open the door to his companions. He is firmly determined to warn the people of the house, but the burglary is a failure, and Oliver (wounded by a stray shot is left in a ditch by the fleeing gang

sters. The next morning he crawls, injured as he is, to the same house, where his story is believed and he finds new and lasting friends. Again the lad is sought out by Fagin, aided by a mysterious man who has shown great emotion at a chance sight of Oliver in the street, and who now plots with Fagin, not merely for the possession of the boy, but for his moral ruin, which now seems to be desired especially by this so-called Monks. Their whispered plottlngs are OTerheard by Nancy, who atones for her former kidnapping of Oliver by risking her life to inform his new friends of his true parentage. The interview between this scorned street girl and the beautiful Rose Maylie, adopted niece of Oliver's protectress, gives Dickens a splendid opportunity to which he does not fall to do full justice. "Coldly and harshly treated by Mrs. Maylie's self-righteous servants, the girl is in a defiant mood when finally admitted and remarks, with a toss of the head 'It's a hard matter to get to see you, lady. If I had taken offence and gone away, as many would have done, you'd have been sorry for it one day, and not without reason'." But "the kind tone of the answer she received, the sweet voice, the gen

tle manner, the absence of any accent

of haughtiness or displeasure took the girl completely by surprise, and

she burst into tears. 'Oh, lady, lady,'

she said, clasping her hands passion

ately before her face, 'if there was

more like you, there would be fewer

like me, there would, there would!

Then comes the startling account of

what Nancy had overheard; Monks has secured by clever inquiry and bribery, the locket and the ring; he recognizes Oliver; he alludes to his father's will and 6peaks of the gratification it will be to him (Monks) to make a common felon of his young brother Oliver. He also says with a laugh that there is 6ome comfort In the fact that his identity has been kept from his latest friends, "since how many thousands and hundreds of thousands of pounds they would give to know who their two-legged spaniel is." Rejecting all Rose's efforts to place her In some safe refuge from her horrible associates, and refusing all rewards, the weeping girl returns to the only life she has ever known, arranging to repeat her evidence to some discreet man whom Rose is to

bring to London Bridge. Nancy keeps this appointment with Rose and Mr. Brownlow, but it costs her her life, as suspicious-Fagln has had her followed and watched.- Sikes, insane with rage, brutally disregards her protestations that she has shielded him and has remained faithful to him. Disbelieving her, he beats her to death with a club, and finally flees from the terrors of his own memory of the deed, and dies by an accident

as he is trying to escape arrest The gang is broken up by evidence in Mr. Brownlow's hands. Fagin is tried and hanged. As to Monks, whose real name Is Leeford, Mr. Brownlow proves to be his father's Intimate friend, to have had first-band information of all the facts the dissolute son had tried to conceal. Oliver is his half-brother, natural son of Edwin Leeford and Agnes Fleming, to whom he had turned in passionate love from his unhappy and wretched home. His will left the bulk of his property to Agnes (in default of other atonement) and to their unborn child. If a boy, however, he was only to inherit if he kept his name unstained during his minority. Rose is the younger sister of the unhappy Agnes. Monks takes the share given him and leaves England; Oliver is adopted

Topic Our Relation to Neighbors

and Friends. Phllippians 2-1-1 L Consecration Meeting.

Hints for the leader Some of the

sweetest and most profitable exper

iences of life are connected with the words, "Neighbors" and "Friends." To have a friend one must be a friend. It is everlastingly true that friendship comes from friendliness. To get on

well with others we must maintain an attitude of friendly interest Without seeming to pry Into their affairs, we should attempt to know the things that concern, them, so we may share their troubles and rejoice In their successes. An attitude of reserve, or a "better than thou" feeling will not assist in the culture of friendliness. There must also be a spirit of sympathy. Neighborliness Is not gossip, but a genuine sharing of the woes of others. Plainly our duties to others is to unite, as far as possible, in a community of in:erest for their welfare. It ought to be a pleasure to help those around us when they are in need and It will be a pleasure, if we do it In the right spirit and we will be repaid

beyond measure. i Forgiveness Is Part. 1 Forgiveness must also characterize the relation toward others, as we cannot expect all to be perfect we must not carry the hammer of criticism with which to pound them into our sort of perfection. Perhaps we have faults as great as our neighbor. Neighbor helps neighbor to do better, and can overlook a multitude of faults. When there is the least desire to make amends, the request is immediately granted. Community of home life Is one of the blessings of friendship. No room in the house is too good for a friend to occupy, and he cannot come too often to enjoy the hospitality that is always awaiting him. Where neighborliness is sincere the sharing ot hospitality has a large place. Friendliness and neighborliness

should of course be mutual. They cannot thrive long If one of the parties makes all of the sacrifices, and performs all of the service. Let our motto for life be, "Others." It will help us to forget our own troubles, and fill our days with Joy and happiness.

How can we be neighborly towards

neighbors?

make?

If you want a debate Resolved, that

than bad temper.

Points for Prayer. Thank God (1) for neighbors and

friends; (2) for the plain teaching of Jesus concerning out attitude toward our neighbors; (3) for the good we

have received from the association or

friends.

Ask God (1) to make our friend

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

WENDELL PHILLIPS "Wendell Phillips," once wrote Carlos Martyn, "was a citizen of the Twentieth Century sent down to us as a sample ot the Nineteenth." Again did this entertaining writer state, In his biography ot Wendell Phillips: "Would anyone know his country, would he catch fire from contact with one of the purest, one of the bravest of men, let him study and emulate the character and career of Wendell Phillips." Born in the midst of ease and touched ot aristocracy from every main-path, given every opportunity of wealth and education, yet did this man dedicate his matchless talents to the alleviation ot Injustice in the world and to the furtherance of ideas for the building of a nation. "Disunion!" he cried, when a united nation meant a divided humanity. Wendell Phillips was the expression of a divine appeal that flashes thru every epoch of history when honest evolution has been stunned by selfishness and has to be awakened by revolution! He was scarcely more than of age when speaking in Fanueil Hall at Boston in 1832, at a mass meeting called to condemn the murderers of Lovejoy, the abolitionist he scorned the unimportance of the Boston tea party where mere money was concerned, and, pointing to the portraits of Otis on the walls, he cried: "Imagine his Indignant eloquence had the King dared to put a gag upon his Hps!" And continuing, he threw another thunderbolt: "As much greater is thought than money, so is the cause in which Lovejoy died greater than a mere question of taxes!" Wendel Phillips had brains, heart vision. He used to say that you had to get an audience mad first in order to make -It think. His kindliness, courage and wisdom steadied a nation thru one of its greatest crises and he lived to see it grow great out of its tragedy and travail. Wendell Phillips was radical but wisely sane. He was a patriot every inch. He hated sham and snobbery. He was gentle and his dignity and fineness of soul still throb "thruout the widespread viens of endless good."
