BOB JONES Is g-ttln In bid. Tie Is rttir.g in bad In a number cf wavs. When he pall tho other night: "Things used to T white or t!ack, but row they ar all dull gray," he classIfUd society bo well that It put h!m in baj from all thre enr'f-s. Hob nhould have consulted mtan'a Imps, in ft.nd about town, Lefor delivering that g?rraon; next he, should have gone, Into conference with the anirellcaüy plou f.naTly holding communion with the half and half. Then to harmonize, the advice of theso antagonistic, and Feml-antagonlstlc forces; well, h should have kept his mouth shut and said nothing. If you want to find out all about the Christian theology. get a line on Christ moral teachings, or fhunt yourself Into an atmosphere of heavenly grace In tourh with the, fplrlt of the Most High, alwaya Lear this In mind: Tho place to sro In not to ft theological .seminary, church. Sunday school, or a revival meeting but to a ".soft" drink emporium romewhere, cr a public danc or a brothel; a cigar etore mayhap; lean up against a billiard table; or.

Fa tan and hla mifmrica. certainly they know exactly how a campalrn should be conducted in the cause of Christ; know exactly what the evangelist should say and Jiow ho should say it! B'JII tho learning of satan and his spokesmen, In these respects, sometimes sounds like Holy Writ in comparison with that of a lot of hypocritical churchlogiRts. with whom religion la only a form to cover tip their cussGdnesg; sometimes profiteers In tho cweat, blcod and Immoral viclousnes? of their fellows. Bob Jones should be careful not to preach so S to awaken tho sleeping- consciences and apathetic tllsrcsfect that characterizes the public mind with reference to tho damnation that lurks in every nook end corner of tho community. They are the church folk w.o can see no good ever coming from evanjgellKm; who scout it as sensationalism and pray for 'conservatism" in agonizing faith like that of a calf with the colic. . But above, or below, either of these factors, commend ua to the "dull prays," suavely tolerant cf both the white and tho black but especially, as ta rule, the black. churchologists maybe, or maybo not. These are tho naughty nice people, nelthei flesh, fish nor foul, to whom principle stands as a cypher, with whom FClf-gratificatlon is their only God, and social affability, though rotten to tho core, !. their highest ambition. They too can tell you, of course, where an evangelist should butt in, and exactly whero he should butt out again. Everybody, especially those who get their Inspirations from sulXhurous fumes, know exactly how a revival should bo run; everybody except those In the business "the Master's business." whose business It Is to separata the white from the black, and consign the "dull prays" to, well: thosy fires of purification through which they need to pass, to burn out from them tho cufsednesa which they fain would hide. Terrible, isn't It. that the churches of South Bend fhould renew their efforts to revitalize the town with something of a sr.irit of civic, moral and Individual righteousness? Terrible that the church should by Inaugurating fuch a movement, confess the rut In which it Is llounderlng. and xhlblt a disposition to kick itself rut! We are not surprised that so many church mem-1-ers and otherwise, should feel worried lest tla-a inoculation of their minds, hearts and souls, with a franse of personal and civic responsibility, may lash thm into action, break up the "slumber party," und perhaps usher in something nearer a reign of decency and right living! This Is r.o ntterr.pt to brief Hob Jones' infallibility. r tin" infallibility of his methods. Hob Jones being Iranian. but when we hear people railing at him. whirlwinds cf criticism, knowing the source of their attitude to be selfish, if not grossly Immoral; well, ve wonder how many fool.s they think th"re are. too idiotic to understand. The churches of South Bend ned I'.ob Jones even if hhs Influence wen not to extend to another soul. If the present church membership were just alone to be converted to Christianity, with enough religious spine sur porting the thought to make it active, militant arid willing to do, it will be worth nil the ampalgn cost1;. The evangelist is In re, if we underfctand It aright, not to clean up So ith Bend as too many seem to want to suppose, hut to pump some kind of manliness and womanliness into the citizenship, that will cause them to do the cleaning. and that is exactly what South Bend needs; let tho t ritics be hanged.

OUR MUNICIPAL MALADMINISTRATION AND ITS JOURNALISTIC APOLOGIST. THIS I a food time to backslide. Another campaign is approaching. To enhance the fergetfulnes of the South Bend public, incident to the approach cf the fall canvass, it is noticeable that tho Main st. hypocrite is discarding its recently announced "Inder endent," righteous indignation, now apparently feigned, and is crawling back into the kenr.el of the city maladministration apologetic cf its rottenness. Tho quotation in Its columns the other day from Asst. Chief cf Police Cassidy to the ffect that the Ian Tyle expesure 1 f moral conditions was exaggerated and made for poUtic.il effect, was put Into the mouth cf the assistant chief and then elicited by the- maladministration organ. In its customary sneaking rrocess cf fucking to discredit something using someone else as a camout'.age with which to cover up its tracks. Tan Pile's address on vice conditions here, made before the Lincoln school Mothers club, was either founded upon fact, else our contemporary prevaricated most contemptuously only a few months ago when with no immediate campaign In sight. it ought to assume an air of righteous indignation, by flourishing such an exposure, all its own. As we unALrid It, contemporary'? article was used a.s

an index In the pyle Investigation, and conditions, save In a couple of Instances have not changed. The entire attltudo of the Main st. paper toward Mr. Pyle's address, seeking to belittle Its Import, is the attitude of a brazen hypocrite: that Is. unless it wishes to confess itse" fawnlnp again at the feet of the city hall corruptlonlsta, intent upon minimizing their responsibilities to the public, and the cov-erlng-up of their sins. Mr. Pyle committed one error In hLs talk, locating a resort "nar" the corner of Colfax av. and Michigan St., ps "at Colfax and Michigan, northwest corner;" a slip of the tongue. He apologizes to the occupant, a respectable lady, appreciative of his good intentions, but the city hall organ would have It appear from that one mistake, that hls entire schedule was wrong. Naturally the aggregation Is making every effort to get under cover but we have observed no move to Interfere with the operations of the vice concession holders. However, our contemporary's attitude in this matter seems so fundamental with It, that perhaps In the future It may be the thing- to expect. Discussing the hospital vote taken by the Chamber of Com merce, the other day, it seems to delight, that "The people prefer to leave matters of administration and government to their duly elected representatives. This Is nothing new. To persons of experience in city administration and general politics it is common knowledge and always taken Into consideration." Of course, that was Intended as a port of slam nt the Chamber of Commerce management, which sometimes acts without our contemporary's advice, but It Is significant also of that paper's seeming view that the people, having set up a government at an election, should casc to interest themselves in civic matters, but leave It to their representatives to do IaS they please. Follow it: "For years civic workers have been trying to persuade people to interest themselves actively In public affairs. They have not been successful for a very good reason. The average person evidently does not want to be bothered with civic affairs and leave the details to them. The result is not infrequently maladministration, but it has never been gross enough to create a demand for a change in the system of representative government." Easy enough from this to get tho viewpoint of the city hall pang, and Its Journalistic mouthpiece, with regard to the rights of citizens to demand that their government be conducted decently and in pood order. Tho hospital vote has merely served as a vehicle for the spread of a little propaganda, calculated to convey the Impression to tho public that In the big1 majority, the people are not exerting, and should not exert themselves, to get anything from their government that they especially want. No, good citizens, you are not expected, especially Just at this time, to Interest yourself In the maladministration of your city and the man who does, why, of course, ho must be discredited, if possible, and If necessary to make the desired grade.

THE LATIN-AMERICAN LEAGUE. AS significant of another foreign view that our "copperhead" senate has brought upon us from foreign lands, showering upon us their contempt and disrespect, because of our International slackerism as a nation, it is Interesting to note the proposil made by the republic of Salvador to Its sister republics. A recent decree adopted by the Salvador congress invites all the other Latin-American countries to Join with Salvador In setting up an American league, with the United States excluded. Tills body would possess the chief powers and functions of the International league established by the Versailles treaty. It would establish a central court to arbitrate differences arising between the member nations, and an International navy for police work or genera! defense. In case any member refused to abide by a decision of the court, It would be coerced. There would also be armed Intervention In any country hopelessly involved In civil war. The Pan-American Union, with headquarters at Washington, would be abolished. The chief element of Interest in this plan Is the patent attempt to get rid of the dominant influence of the United States In Latin American affairs, and to side-track the Monroe doctrine. What the other Latin-American countries think of It is yet to be seen. It seems hardly possible that they will take the plan seriously, because they need the United States more than It needs them, and because nearly all the functions to be assumed by this new league are already existent in the League of Nations, of which virtually all the Latin-American countries are now members. It Is to be observed, too, that the league of Nations covenant specifically recognizes the validity of the Monroe doctrine. Little Salvador, then, if it Is determined to Ignore the United States, may have to flock by Itself. But It is not a pleasant situation, regardless of the fact that Salvador is small, or that she may go on lonesome. The unpleasant feature of It Is that even little Salvador, Insignificant as to size, can call us an International liar, and a self-centered coward, as In the present Instance, and still tell the truth. Oh. yes, our brilliant American senate, is maintaining our national honor In the eyes of the world.

If the United States had fought the war the way It has been making peace, there wouldn't ever hav been any peace to make. That Is, unless It were a German peace, and the United States senate would make It so anyhow.

"There! I won't ask it another thing!" The Widow pushed the ouija board away from her, with a petulant gesture, and settled her silver tulle draperies back in the rose brocade chair, with an air of aggrieved finality. 'Perhaps you weren't ei en rapport." suggested the Bachelor, soothingly. "That's no reason why it should answer me like a husband!" retorted the Widow, "When I ask it. whether I should go to the masquerade ball as I 'ort "a cr Carmen, It answered Yes"-" . 'Meaning," explained the Bachelor gallantly, "that you are both clever am charming! Presence of mind doesn't always indicate absence of beauty you know!"

"if I should marry aala, it answered 'Ask B '1 Now, who on earth is 'W' I've thought of Bhudia fi.d Beelzabub and " I've g-y it'" broke In the Bachlor waving his cigaret. " 'B' stands for Bachelor' Why don't you ask r.e?" "And," pursued the Widow, ignoring the suggestion. "When I usked it where you were all during supper and three waltzes and a fox-trot, last night, it answered" "Oh. well!" interrupted the Bachelor hastily, "You can't believe anything a foolish little three-legged ouija board says! Surely you don't take any of these new kinds of magic and fairy tales and ghost walking affairs seriously!" "Why not?" demanded the Widow, "I'm human! And the whole poor, dear human race has .been desperately hunting for some new kind of 'magic.' ever since Eve sought a seance with the Serpent. If ever I have to earn my living. I'm going to invent a new kind of magic cure, or a recipe for eternal youth, or a love-charm, or something." and she smiled complacently at the inspiration. "Will It be a pill, or an elixir, or a face-powder, or a reducing diet, or a serum, or a faith cure?" inquired the Bachelor, with mock seriousness. "Oh, it doesn't matter!" The Widow shrugged her shoulders airily, "They'll swallow anything, whether It comes In boxes or bottles or books whether it is a new fountain of youth, or a mineral water, or a philosophy or a gland, or a beautycapsule! They'll swallow anything, from rubber pellets to Paris green, if you'll only promise them that It will give them eternal life or eternal youth or eternal beauty, or eternal happiness or even the eternal love of their husbands. I could sell them stewed butterflies' wings or fried camels' ears and they'd buy them and get their money's worth!" "Their money's worth! Of what?" Inquired the Bachelor In astonishment. "Of bunco?" "Of hop Mr. Weatherby!" corrected the Widow, smiling sadly, "Of optimism, of courage, of excitement, of thrills! That's what we're all really looking for and longing for. Just look at the things we've tried, already!" "I have!" groaned the Bachelor. "I've seen em in the hair-dresser's windows. Gruesome aren't they!" and he shuddered. "The ancients went in for oracles and Incantations and sun-worship." went on the Widow, "and our greatgrandfathers tried bleeding and leeches; and our grandfathers drank nauseous hot-spring waters.

Now, In Babylon, there dwelt a prince, who had reached the marrying mood, and sought a wife. And the wise men brought before him the four fairest damsels in all the land for Ms selection. And the first damsel sought to dazzle him with her beauty. Lo, sho anointed herself with spikenard and myrrh, and made herself fairer with kole and with henna and curling tongs and jewels and spangled gauze. And the eyes of the prince were blinded with her loveliness; and when she had departed he smoked long and dreamily and could not tear his thoughts from her for full five minutes. And the second damsel s-ought to fascinate hi mwith her wit. And lo, when he spake, she enswered him with epigrams and with quips; and the prince laughed mightily and was amused. And, for a full half hour he continued to think om. her. And the third damsel sought to lure him with her domestic charms, and to enchain him with home comforts. Yea, she brought a scented cushion for his head, and a velvet foot-stool for his feet, and lit his pipe with her own hands. And the prince was almost persuaded, and begged her not to depart. But the wfse men led her away, and brought the fourth damsel before him.
