We have made progress since thop "good old i.ys." The schools of that time serel their pur-po--e. in a way. but it "was a narrow way.

With all th faults of pr. ui t -day sclmols. their "scattering" and "smn 1 1 ering" tf instruction, it js likely that the average child gets out of them better preparation for real life han Iiis gramlparnts did nut of th ir school.

AT $400 A YEAR. It enir, s as a most amazing bit of inforniatio.i that in these days of hih salari'-s, there are preachers who are working for as little as and ?401 a year, i'.ut the statement is from h:'-) authority and is not jucstionci. The churches of th" land "nave been raising mil!ionj in raoney for ; !l manner of purposes, but w luvr not heard tin any of these funds are to he :-ed for the heneht. of underpaid preachers Yet that is fundamental to church eMiciency, and there mner w:v a time in the history of the world when it va sn important that chun lies function proprly as now. No other activity business if ou Iii:. is al V to iT' l alot..: with workers rid fn a sia: -ation basis, and the churches have no right to try. Tiny owe lr not only to the devoted men who labor for them, but to the cause they represent, to make ' possible f..r men 'o devote their whole time and nervy t constructive church work. The u.plov.r these d'eys who would try to force a w.r-rc Male of Jlfoi a vear on tbos,. jn hjjj service would be called arvthing but Christian in bis attitud tow an! fellows. What shnll we siy, then. f a cnugre;. .ition asking a minister to wrk on s Mi' h a paltry sum ?

THE EXPULSION OF THOSE NEW YORK SOCIALIST ASSEMBLYMEN. y w York, through her state as-enibly, has established the jM-'eedt-nt. in-ofar as the people will ai'Cf.t it. that government in the United States of America, is h r.vt forth to be by democrats and republteans ar.i! hv democrats and republicans, alone. None other n rd aj't'ly. The advancement of any school of economics or political philosophy that does not oir.' ide with the dictum.s of republicanism and democracy I declared virtual treason" by the Now York state assembly. F'ermit us to salu'o Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who led in the fiht t krair.st the expulsion of the ass-.mblymen. and the KVfn world war veterans who with him. voted to sae the America for which they had fought from the blotch of s un-American a proceeding. The five expelled socialists will go down in history niartrs to this disgrace. We Tall it "disgrace." advisedly. Atty. Gen. Palmer has challenged it as such. Charles Kvans Hughes wont before the assembly avs the representative of the New York liar At-Roriation, and. not in behalf of socialism, but of Americanism, denounced the proceeding as the mot un-American thing ever undertaken by the legss'ative branch of any government since the sunrise of democracy firs; hoin to dawn. Get his words. "I have here the platform of the ;-ocialists on which they were elected. Now. I don't stand Itlre to defend it. There is hardly a paragraph tn It which I tlo not opj ose. but it is a platform representing the principles of political action cccording to the genius of our institutions, for the- expression o! forces by ballot. for the change of laws by legislation. Their procedure Is entirely lawful. There is not a line in it that any risrht-mlnded man can siy is an attempt to overthrow- government l.y force, or in any way except when the majority is brought to believe that a change is deslrab'-e." That is all there is too it: that L-, practically all. Qa do to be a socialist to disagree with

tb action of the New York assembly. All he needs to be i an American, and including in his Americanism, the right of any right-minded man to entertain unconventional principles, and seek their advancement throuuh political action according to tne genius of our institution; by way of the ballot box. effecting the change through legislation. indeed, first, and above all else, the very essexc of Americanism. Overthrow that privilege, that right, and the. American might as well be a Hun, a Hindoo or a Hottentot. There is nothing left of the freedom, the privilege of intellectual expansion, or the possibility of political Improvement, always anticipated at the very basis of our American Ideals. It turns the face of the declaration of independence backward and repeals the preamble to the constitution, both of which presume to jruarantee thr very things here set at naught. Thf re is just one question which the action of the New York nssembly submits, and it stands for serious consideration, and a cautious answer. If the riKht to advocate, or effect an execution of new ideas through the legitimate coure of the ballet and the assembly, are to be Uken away, what course are the advocates of such ideas to be expected to pursue? Judge Hushes answered it in his address on the New York case. Atty. (!en. Palmer has answered it, and that answer is unarchy. Yoa may dej ort. and you may suppress, but you deport and suppress only the individual; not the idea. We have said it before, anl we repeat, it now, that if this country ever founders upon the rocks of "red" ruin, it will not be the work of Russian bolsheviks, but of American boneheads.

TRUTH IN FABRIC. The house ways and means committee has begun hearings on the "truth-in-fabric" bill recently introduced. The bill will require manufacturers to stamp upon every yard of woolen fabric made, ani upon every garment made therefrom, its content of virgin wool, shoddy or cotton substitute. This would undoubtedly prevent deceit and profiteering in woven wool fabrics and garments, and many of the advocates of the bill believe also that In the long run it will prove advantageous to American exporters of wool products even when competing: with goods not so marked. The "truth-in-fabric" plan applies to woolen goods the same principles applied to food products by the pure food law. It would not prevent the manufacture or sale of goods containing wool substitutes or shoddy, but it would make it possible lor the purchaser to know exactly what he was pure basing. Agitation in favor of some such measure has developed rapidly because of the increasing use of jubstitutes in woolen cloth. The cloth containing shoddy or cotton does not wear so well nor furnish the warmth of cloth made from virgin wool yarn. Yet because little or no distinction is made by dealers in such cloth between the pure quality and the adulterated fabric, the cost of both has risen, and the consumer is helpless in making his purchase.-. The national consumers' league favors the bill. So. too. do the wool-growers. Many manufacturer? also are on the side of truth in fabric, because they know that fair dealing wins success of a more valuable and lasting typo than comes from deception or diidionestv.

INTERVENTION IN ARMENIA. The recent action of a sub-committee of th'--enatp committee on foreign affairs with respect to Armenia is something- that would hardly have been expected of that body. It suggests that congress reeogni.e the independence of Armenia., and recommends that the president send a warship to I'atum. the Armenian seaport, with a force of American marines mid with arms and ammunition for the Armenian.", to enable them to protect themselves against the Turks. The ofllcial attitude of this senate committee heretofore has always appeared to be flatly opposed to the I'nited States mixing with the affairs of other nations and participating in their quarrels. Vet here is a recommendation that we gr to a distant, powder-magazine region of the earth, to help hy force a nation with which wo have no particular connection, against another with which. cYspite our antipathy to it, we have not been and are not now at war. It is proposed, too. that we do this purely on our own account, without the sanction of any ither powers. The proposal certainly sounds no 'ess extreme and perilous and alien to our traditions, than would be the acceptance of a mandate to chaperon the republic of Armenia under the authority of the League of Nations.

The man who declares he is ready to hazard the rocket trip to Mars or the moon appears to have no cnoice as to his destination and to have no concern about a return ticket.

Other Editors Than Ours

now i:xijkaso.iiij:. (Tort Wayne .lounial-CIa'tte.) Why do the American people refuse to understand that it is perfectly all right to buy elections and nominations as long as the purchaser carries the flag? Take the case of the martyr of Michigan "Sen." Newberry. And now the cases of Wood and Iowden, both of whom are being censured for the enormous use of a slush fund. What is money for any way? Isn't It to buy things with? Aren't Wood and bowilen putting money in circulation? And are they not T.ghtir.g to r.roserve American institutions end the American constitution and the Golden Rule? Shame on the critics. While the country waits for a definite announcement from "Sen." Newberry the state.-man in stripes. a.s to his intention relative to resuming his seat in the senate, the senate committee of which Watson of Indiana Is chairman, is painfully silent, and n doubt much embarrassed. If the Hoosier senator listens to the advice of his local organ he will not only admit thi convicted criminal to a seat in the senate, but will make his admission the occasion for a great republican rally. Perhaps Sen. Watson might rvi ii le prevailed upon to make the principal speech. Meanwhile Victor Berger also a conicted criminal is indignantly denied his seat in the house to which he was unquestionably elected, and without the corruption of the electorate. If Berger is excluded and the odorous Newberry is admitted, the socialists will have a real issue.

A hoto came along the street and noticed a sign over the door o? a merry mucilage parlor: "Business Men's Lunch, ir.c." The hobo went in and parked. He ate heartily and left the bar chuckling. Another, fly wanted to knowwhy he was laughing at which he replied: "Har! Har! I fooled 'em plenty. T ate one of their business men's lunches, and I haint no business man at all."

The life does work; that's true enough; He violates all union hours In Ixttting round tho fields to stuff Himself with honey, culled from flowers. But if he paused upon a lim) To rest, or gossip, or palaver His fellow bees would light on him And he'd be left a cold cadaver. He never quits or goes on strikes Or visits with his idle neighbors. But that is not because he likes To be engaged on toilsome labors. He never loafs, but that's because The craven creature is afraid to. He knows the Apiarian laws And only works because he's made to. So often he's been sung about That, in his silly little noddle. He hasn't got the slightest doubt That he is an industrial model. We'll never praise the priggish bug. The industrv he makes such show of Reminds us of a lot of smug Vain glorious people that we know of!

iilaim:. A Southern favorite Is Elaine, that most poetical and harmonious of feminine names. Before the Civ-

I il War, every proud family of South

ern blood had an Elaine among its daughters, the Elaine Fitzhughs and Elaine Dulanys were legion, each a "belle of three countries" and the despair of many a lovelorn South-

i crn gallant.

But Elaine was not born in the South by any matter of means. Her

i origin dates back to tho days of

beautiful Helen of Troy, when the name Helen, coming from the Greek hellos, meaning light, was permitted to drop its initial h' and become Ellen. In Cambria however, this was too lacking in poetry to bo popular

and it was called Klayne. It oc

curred under that spelling in the registers of early times and thus explains the gentle Iidy Elayne, mother of Sir Galahad, whom Tenro'son makes his Itdy of Shalott. The name came to prominence again as Lady Elayne of the Round Table, "Elaine the fair, Elaine the lovable, Elaine the lily maid of Astolot whose tragic fate Is the source of song and story In the "Idylls of the King.' Her Irish prototype was Elayne or Eileen O'Brin, who likewise met with a tragic and, taking her own life after being carried away to Castle Knock by Roger Tyrrel, ono of the fierce Anglo-Normans. Tennyson's description of Elaine is exquisite: "Where could bo found face daintier? Than her shape From forehead down to foot perfect again From foot to forehead exquisitely turned. Fair she was. my King. Pure, as vou ever w.sh your knights be. To doubt her fairness were to want an eye. To doubt her' purencss were to want a heart." Elaine's talismanic gf-m is the pearl, giver of charm and love and purity fitting jewel for so lovely a name. The. lily is her flower, a fact which Tennyson uses with such touching pathos is describing the funeral bier of the dead Elaine. Tonday is her lucky day and her iucky number. (Copyright,

The Horoscope

SATURDAY, APRIL :J. The astral forces for this day seem to be aligned on the side of difficulties and dangers, particularly those which may be brought about by one's own tendency to Mightiness, rashness and excitability. This is mainly the incentive from the sesqui-quadrate between Mercury and Mars both making for tumult or volatilitj. This same disposition may lead to accident, as well as rash judgment and ungoverned conduct. Every effort should be made to hold the temper and to conduct oneself with coolness; and equipoise. With this heeded, dangers and troubles may be avoided. Those in employment are under a baneful aspect between the Luminaries, hence they should be particularly careful of their positions. Those whosH birthday it is have the presage of a year calling for calmness and imperturbability, with constant protection of their affairs and themselves. A child born on this day should early be taught the value of self-control.
