Responsibilities of the Church as Increased Under the Teachings of the Bob Jones Revival

th

of the rrvlval, including the

footing r-t the bill. South Bend will to

morrow fall hack ar.-i!n upon Its own spiritual ref.ources. with th! hrac gore: with this uplifting Influence removed, ave as It has taken dep root 'n the hearts of the people. Those who believe In that Fort f ' thing; who beliv? that the. church has a minion In th'- community, aside from the communion anil the social functions, and that tho vicarious atonement involves a srvlco proceeding from within out, as vll as satisfaction drawn from without jn, have ha. I their Christian responsibilities increased by th's revival. South pend i going to expect more, and ha a right to expect more from the churches the church people, in community Interest and service, looking t the betterment rf moral conditions under which P'orle must live, or the church Ls point? to drop back Ir.to the at least, sort of semi-innocuous desuetude, whore the evangelist found it; this, and more discredited than ever. Unless enough of the light Christian wisdom, and th? moral courage to give it 1'orce, has been brought to shine Into the souls that KO to make up our community population, to enable j.rofr :-s!ng Chrl.-!iar..s to discern the Mestophelean fcrlr.s. maneuver?, and ways o? phunting them onto tho sidetrack of Inactivity; well, then what la the Use? Iloh Jones should be paid well for his efTorts. How well he is paid will be some Indication of what ws may expect In the way of permanent results. If the purs-strlngs nf the people? have r.ot been loosened If benevolent appreciation Is not shown to have fome predomlnanco over tight-wadlsm and greed, It not to be. assumed that there has been very much quickening of tho heart. Dob Jones will lenve Fouth Hend, having cast his "pearls before swine," cr his "bread upon the waters," and the announcement after the collections will pretty well determln which. All that the evangelist Is to get for hU services In South Tend aside- from Individual gifts volunteered by delegations at recent meetings. will come from tho collections today. All the results of previous collections. Including the sale of the taberr.acle, goes to pay for tho building of the tabernacle. Thero Is a little over-plus, but even that goes to local purposes. Don't stay away from the tabernacle meetings today now, just because there Is going to be a collection for Hob Jones ITe has his party to pay, including their expense while her", out of what he gets; this and his own expenses, and that of his wife, and son, with the hope that he will have enough besides to get him out of town without walking. lie deserves infinitely better than that, lie has been hero five weeks, working hard every day; harder than the most of us. "What do you suppose It costs to put on a Knife and Fork club entertainment for instance? Bob Jones has done better than to entertain. ITe has brought light, and joy, and hope, that Is, such lias been his mission. Tho question i., how wide have wo opened the door to let It in? Today, and the days to come, can answer It best and will in the tame proportion as his preaching is reduced to practice. In benevolent appreciation, right living, und moral courage, including the element of some raerlnce to personal disadvantage and Inconvenience.

THE GAMBLER'S MOTHER AND MAYOR CARSON'S 'DISFAVOR" OF VICE. HTIIAT little rtory by the mother of a gambler. told to Pros. Samuel I. Schwartz; well, It fort of Indicates the extent to which "bootleggers, prostitutes and other law breakers, are, and always have been In disfavor" with the Carson administration. as the mayor set It forth in hLs epistle to P.ob Jones. The tiro is. Indeed, getting close enough to the administration structure, that wo do not wonler at the. mayor's llounderlng about In an effort to shoo it away. It is also suggestive of a good use that th tabernacle committee might well make of the building surplus left on hand from the sale; well, say, to sec to It that the mayor enforces that 'disfavor" that ho tells so poorly about, or at least lo's not permit its employment as a means of extracting graft. We said it long ago, and we repeat It now, that unless tho city hall undergoes a prompt cleanup, revising its method of dealing with the local vice Interests, and that for tho better, discharging Its go-betweer.-s" and withdrawing Its protecting arm. puts out a suppressing arm instead, a grand Jury is the only fit alternativ for the decent, law-abiding people- of the city to resort to. "Let the heathen r.tge, and the people Imagine" as many a "vain thing" as befits their fancy, against any employment rf secret service assistance from outside t-ources. cr even. If need be, any extra Pgal talent, to bring corrupt public officials to book, but as It happens the right Is reserved in the people to do exactly that sort of thing when their government becomes such a flench in their ncstrils as to prove it nuisance that they can no longer tolerate. Assuredly Mayor Carson and his hosts are In a bad way. Things have gone on and they have incurred entanglements from which it is dhüeult to extricate? themselves. Iet them try to put on the brake now and they are confronted with a threat to squeal cn their rast Indiscretions. It Is too jad that Bob Jones could not have preached his recent Firmen to men. on "You can't do wrong and get away with It." to Mayor Carson and his henchmen the Sunday before they went into ofhee two years ßnd more ago, and that they could not have tal.cn it into serious account before it became too late. A flourish then at doing what they are now pretending to v.-ant to do hoping, apparently, to humbug tho j eop'e into thinking they hie done It, and this followed up with a little hone. effort, would never have given ris to the condition which they are now facing. Under the pf!l, or pressure of the Jone revival, fih yes?, there has be.-n a pretense at reformation; the vice agencies, for ;n--.ar... e, have bee:i told to lay low until the .nr.;i'!t is gone, Toinci b nt with this there have b n a few raids, of course, in the ltj Ilk-f tocV inged district more cf a tloarih,

hut very evidently without any Intention on the part of the high police otncials that anyone was to be convicted. Evidence has been badly mixed throughout, and one policeman who Insisted upon telling the truth, is in danger of his Job same as those who were fired back in the days of the Barrett transformations of whisky Into water. This mother's Mory Is only confirmatory of what tho people of South Bend have been told, time without number during the past two years and the surface Is still unscratched. This young man to whom the refers is only one, and the gambling hell , to which she refers Is only one, and gambling, hells are only one type of vice resort. Is there no power In our government, or spirit In our people, competent to Interfere?

WILHELM'S THRONE FOR A LODGE. THFJ announcement that the imperial German throne is to bo sold at auction In New York, along with other court trappings and household effects of the former kaiser, naturally arouses philosophic reflection. Much might be said about the mutability of things human, the see-saw of fate and the transitory nature of mundane glory. The throne that typified the supreme royal powr of this generation is to be 'knocked down" before a gaping crowd like any other piece of furniture. You can hear the auctioneer calling: "How much nm I bid for the Hohenzollorn throne, occupied for generations by KaNer Wilhelm and his ancestors, built of solid ebony and overlaid with solid gold and mother of pearl in intricate and b-autiful designs." etc., etc., "a rare treasure from the viewpoint or art. but treasured more highly as a historic relle- associated so intimately with the most obnoxious man of his age. How much am I bill? doing going for tho third and last time sold to Mr. Millionnlre Spondulix War-ProtUe r of Denver, New York and Balm Beach!" Ah, well, such is life. Wilhelm is now an experienced wood-chopr.or and tawer. He may take up furniture-making .a'xt, and in time make him a new throne, and sit in It undisturbed as long as he likes. He may even make duplicates of the original throne and sell them as souvenirs, if his funds run iow. ThTe is a market for such nonessentials, but tho thought that this episode will suggest to most American minds is remote from sentimentality .and has to do with a simple, nrat turn of poetic justice. Everybody remembers how Wilhelm, in the height of his arrogance, when his victorious armies were plunging toward Paris, said to the American ambassador: "I will stand no more nonsense from America after this war. She has meddled in our affairs often enough." He was going to send a fleet and army over at his leisure, and take and hold New York for a billion dollars' ransom, but Instead he only sits, by proxy, in our United States senate, bleating for a separate p":.vt. Heigh-ho! And now his throne Is being auctioned in New York. It should be bought up by the populace and presented to Sen. Henry Cabot L.odge, the kaiser's American lord chancellor. SEN. LODGE AND vTpTmARSHALL. THAT "Washington astrologer who discovered a lunar-diurnal connection between the initials nf Henry Cabot Lodge H. C. L. and those of the High Cost of Living, as sensing the senator's objections to the League of Nations covenant, lest a permanent feaco be restored and war-pro'Ueers be given a last and everlasting jolt, had his head saved from being smashed, so the dispatches say, when Vice Ures't Marshall in the midst ot the mad debate, moved to still tho troubled waters that were engulfing the senr'te anti-League majority. "The thing that the country really needs." said the vice president, piping-in, "Ls a fjood five-cert cigar." and at last the vice president has for once deserved well as a contributor to the wit of his country or would have, had he said that, and stopped there. For one thing, he "varied the proceedings with a little Innocent hilarity," saith the dispatches, which is reputed very' pood for everybody. In congress and out. In these tight-drawn times. And then. It Is precisely five-cent cigars, and nine-cent sugar, and stockings at three pair for $1, and potatoes at J2 a bushel, which this country does need. It doesn't need a lot of high-flown, high-priced ranting. It doesn't rce! a lot of deep psychological discussions. It needs necessaries of life, like cigars (?. at reasonable prices; like, cigars, and Coco Colas, and soda-waters, and gum. If Mr. Marshall could Just go a little further and lr.ak ' some equally simple suggestions as to how to secure the things we really need, he would not have to be nominated for the hall of fame; he would find himself living there, but then, at Richmond, Va.. more recently, we find him making a different bid, too in more serious vein in which he would hinge our hopes on "light wines and beers." The astrological association of the initials L. TV. and B. to that phrase Is, in lunar-diurnal parlance, significant of .a combination of "light-weights and bums." Hut then It is natural for a man to indulge in the illusion of his hopes. Batrick Henry knew that.

Maybe one reason the senate defers confirming the appointment of Postmaster Gen. Burleson to the international communications conference Is that it has had so much experience with his handlin? of national communications.

A chemist says he can make sugar from sawdust. Now watch the speculators try to corner the sawdust supply.

The more we read the dope written by political experts, the ltss we know about the political situation.

A LTVIN' WAGE FOR EDUCATED PEOPLE.

Professor Alex Tansey, who resigned as principal o th' Apple CI rove school t' become th Janitor o' Bristle Ridge school V git an overcoat, addressed t Chamier o Commerce, last night, an' urged a livin wage fer educated pei.p.e. "Fer", said th Professor, if neither school teachers or those hey educate are t be paid livin' expenses why th' schoolhouso?" Th Professor said too many of us take ip -school teaehin t' make a little ;in money. "Look In on any school teachers' convention! Seventy-five percent o th' teachers you see Ml e married before th year is out. They haint adopted teaehin' as a rnfe-ssion, but as a steppin' stone. Th" other twenty-five percent may

hang on fer life thro being less favored as t' looks or fer other reasons. But they'll alius feel sour an resentful. Our teachers are ttachln

temporarily an anything that's done temporarily haint done very good.

.Take th case o 2Imer Moots, who

resumed teaehin when th O. K. livery stable burned an' resigned when th Acme Garage opened up. A sterlin educator wuz lost t' th

! community because he seen a chance

f lift himself up. lie only taught school as a last resort. Look, at Wilbur Mopps! lie wuz th principle of Slaty Holler school an ran off with a circus. Let us make teaehin attractive so our boys an girls 'll take it up as a profession on th same plane with hod carryin," bar-

berln plumbln an other profitable callin's. An let us open th door o' opportunity t educated people! Look at Winsor Kale! Winsor Kale graduated from Apple Grove school with th highest honors. Fer lack o' something better he drove a dressed poultry wagon in Toledo. Ohio. He went t' college with his earnln'a. Then he cleaned wall paper fer a spell. Then he applied his savin's t' attendin' another college. Then he become th' agent for th Excelsior Rubber Collar?.. Then another term in college an so on till he'd earned his way thro four colleges. T'day he's an ttuthority on bee culture without a peer in his chosen profession or an overcoat. He's not makin' half as much as he did with

his 1914 pre-war chicken wagon i

Job. H don't make a third as much as carpenter Joe Spry, who quits work in th' middle o' th' afternoon an' don't even know who Lincoln wuz. much less Lafayette an' others. Ther must bo some premium on education or folks '11 quit monkeyin' with it. No wonder so many professors have ther own ideas about th distribution o' wealth in this country. No wonder some of our professors an' teachers have advanced ideas. Anybuddy that's tried t' keep dressed up on nothin knows what school teaehin' Is." "A feller washed my car th' other day that'd won th' standin' broad Jump at Harvard," remarked Tell Binkley, f a friend at th' close o' th meetln'. (Copyright 1920.)

New Amendments To Matrimony-zy vei Rowland

The long-sought "peak of prices" will probably be reached about the same time as the peak of wuics.

The most delightful and fasci lilting thing about marriage," sighed he Widow ecstatically, as she turnd from her French pastry and hocolate to gaze out of the club window over the green golf link:;, 'is that there is always something .iev or clever or cynical or interest.ng to say about it." "There is always something the matter with it," admitted the Bachelor, continuing to attack his plate with the vigor of a healthy golf appetite, "if that's what you mean." "It is like a good substantial old house that I once owned," mused he Widow, "constantly in need of .epairs, and improvements. As soon as you cement tho cellar, the root oegins to leak; as soon as you finish -diingling the roof, the piazza iue is painting, or the wallpaper goes out of fashion, or you hae to put in ne v plumbing or electric lights, or hardwood floors or a furnace or something. Every year, even,- week, evry day a new phase of marriage appears, furbishing it up a bit. like new curtains in the living roon, windows in October. And still tho dear old institution stands, weathering the changes of time and war and e-conomio conditions the most interesting thing in he world! Nobody, from Henry James to Trotsky or Brigham Young has ever discovered any satisfactory substitute for it." "Oh well," ventured the Bachelor, "it's like the constitution fundamentally all right, but in need of constant amendments to mevt new and modern conditions." "Yes," returned the Widow with a wry little smile, "and most of the amendments don't really 'amend' it, and very few of the improvements actually 'improve' lt. I wonder what our imperialistic old grandfather's would think of modern 'marriage' in the tiny, two-by-four studio apartment, with Hubby drying the dishes while Wifie washes them, and a curly dog constituting tho whole 'nursery department,' and an image of Bhudda, occupying the place of the family Bible." "He wouldn't recognize it," grinned the Bachelor appreciatively. "He would think it 'immoral' sucriligious a bad Joke!" The Widow's dimples disappeared, like the sun on an April day, and she looked wistfully serious. "Oh well." she protested, "Grandfather didn't know anything about the high-cost-of-living. He only wore overalls because he wanted to! But for scm of us, it must le such a marriage or none at all any any marriage is better than none at all!" "What!" The Bachelor dropped his fork. "Oh, yes It is'" Insisted the Widow, "even a modern mairiago, with all the 'IS amendments' t ed onto it. Of course, a Pekinese and a Tom don't take the place of children. They are Just pathetic little bluffs, like line a kitchenette and a fireless cooker." "And there's the financial and economic ee4uality of wives," put in the Bachelor, "which in my opinion is no substitute for home-cooking and darned socks." "And there is divorce," laughed the Widow, "which has taken the place of ground glas and prussic acid though it's really more humane and sanitary, after all. And there are 'lap-dog apartment0;,' and studio apartments, and vacuum cleaners, and public valets and community kitchens" "And self-supporting -wives, and self-rocking cradles, and self-am.us-ing husbands all of which or whom have conspired together to transform marriace into into "something Just as good!' " appended the Bachelor scornfully. "Into what?" The Widow looked shocked. "Into a sort of domestic 'beevo,' ' explained the Bachelor with disgust, " a sentimental 'near-beer,' an 'almost champagne a colorless, piceless fraud, entirely unsatisfying and uninspiring." "Oh I don't know!" demurred the Widow cheerfully, "there are lots of compensations about the modern marriage. It keeps husband and wife from getting too close together and from living 'scrambled lives. at anv rate! At leat, they ran get iiway from, each other occasionally.

and thus preserve their proper perspective on one another. At least they escape the hideous old Victorian fashions of ramilv breakfasts, community tooth-brush holders, and the morning reveille. The private bath and the continental breakfast and the modern marriage have done wonders to help preserve tho individuality of the human being and keep romance alive!" "But," protested the Bachelor, "I thought people married in order to

to one another to

in

get close

shore" Tes," broke In the widow,

order to Fhare their hopes and ambitions, and joys and sorrows and dreams and ideals! And then, they end by sharing nothing but the towels, brushes, clothes closet and medicine cabinet and fighting over those! At least they used to. Spiritual intimacy, pplrituai closeness, spiritual oneness are the most beautiful and wonderful things in the world

Mrs. Solomon Says-

Being Confessions of Wife 700th

The way of a lover, at spring time is harder than a food profiteer's heart! "Oh, matrimony," saith the lover," hear now the springtide supplication of one who walketh amid snares and pitfalls and raging women! "Verily, verily, this is the hour of woman's d' light, and of man's tribulation! "For, the husband 1 beset with bills, the bachelor is beset with fears and with loneliness, and the lover is beset with temptations. "Then, give me strength and wisdom, that I may face the clangers of th" mistletoe ee-ason, without fllnch1 r. "For, I know in my heart, that if I kiss my beloved, when she etandeth beneath the bough of temptation, I shall speak the fatal word! And I am not yet prepared in pocket or in spirit, for tho halter, the snaffle, and the curb! "Vet, if I do not kiss her, I shall be cast out into oblivion, and shall be known in the land as 'cold feet and as 'cad.' "Deliver me, I beseech thee, from the bitter loneliness of the fdnglefocter, this springtime; yea, spare me from that 'nobody-loves me' feeling! For it is the false sign, by which many a sentimental freelance hath been lured from the open, into the everlasting Union! "Spare me from women's Junk! From Delia Robbia plaques, and new art candlesticks! From handmade slippers which are always too small, cravats which are always too lurid, and pipes which arc always ur.smokahle, oh deliver me! For, I have done naught to deserve them! "Above all, show me the heart of a woman, that I may look into it.

and discover what she wantethl

"For, a.i yet, no man hath ever 1

succeeded In pleasing a woman! "Lo, seven damsels may be delighted with orders from the florist, and seven more may be contented with burnt offerings from the confectioner. But ehe who Is 'if In my affections, how shall I satisfy her? "For, behold. If I offer her the Jewelled wrist-watch, which my fancy dictiteth, and my generosity prompteth. will ehe not say: "Aha! He is serious! It is better than a proposal of marriage!" "Yet, I know not, myself, whether I am serious or only dazzled! "But, if I send her the impersonal umbrella or the non-committal set of Kipling, will .she not weep and gnash her teeth as one who hath found a switch In her stocking? T J t T -rrTr Viflr f Vi a rnctlv r1 f t

will sho not return It, saying 'How;

dare you!". "Yet, if I send her the simple hut tasteful remembrance, will she not write me down In her heart as 'cheap- skate'? "Where then, do I alight? "Verily, already, I am as one that wondereth in a mist, helpless and blinded! Counters, and clerks dance before my eye, and I am seized witn dizziness, at sight of a shop-window. "Then, irulde m1, oh spirit of wisdom, over this troubled sea, that I may neither be shattered on the rock of my beloved's wrath, nor caught in the whirlpool of matrimony, but may come out on the other side, safe, sane, sound, and still sdngle! "For, alss, the way of a lover in springtime is harder than a foodprofiteer's heart, and sadder than a holidav dinner in a big restaurant!" Selah.

but they are not based on sharing the tooth-mug, and yawning at one another across the breakfast table, Mr. Weatherby. Give me mod

ern existence, with its Individual restaurant table, individual drinkingcups, and individuality in marriage. Why, just because two people love each other, should they arise, retire, and breakfast in unison like a regiment of soldiers? Why should they be expected to like their windows open at the same height and their coffee at the same temperature? Why should they take the privilege of prying Into one another's thoughts and secrets, opening one another's mall, and borrowing one another's collars?" "Oh well." declared the bachelor desperately, "living too far apart is so unsociable. It's like looking at ono another through the wrong end of an opera-glass!" "And living too close together," retorted tho widow, "is like looking at one another through a microscope or like getting too close to a picture so that it looks like nothing but a smudge." "But that didn't bother grandfather," persisted the bachelor. "In his day, divorce was almost as unknown as washing-machines and fireless cookers. When two people married. They were one " "And grandfather was that one!" interrupted the widow, "No wonder he was utterly satisfied. All the.t grandmother had !eft of her individuality was her tooth-brush and her napkin-ring!" "And all that a modern husband has left of 'home,' groaned the bachelor, "is a placo to keep his razor and his dress-clothes! If you and I were married tomorrow, I probably shouldn't see you any oftener than I do now " "Oh yes, you should!", smiled the widow sweetly, "I'd make it awfully 'homelike for you." "Would you?" murmured th bachelor hopefully. The widow nodded. "I'd let you dry the dishes," fhe announced magnanimously, "and wash the dogs, and take them for their airing, and get your own coffee In the morning, and m3ke yourself right 'at home'!" "That." declared the bachelor with mock gratitude, "would bo almost as thrilling, as living in a bachelor fiat!" "At leas'.,' sighed the widow contentedly, "our lives wouldn't get scrambled! And when we did met. It would be with a real thrill-like breaking the ISth amendment!"

Why Men Don't Understand Women

As A Woman Thinketh-

Why can a man never understand a woman. When It's so easy! For instance She always wants to he the last woman in a mans life and yet, sh-3 wants him to make love to her exactly as though she were the first. She wants him to regard her love as a priceless treasure and yet. to be eager to pay her bills and ready to come across with the alimony. She wants him to kiss her with all the artistic tenderness of a practiced Lothario and with all the enthusiasm of an amateur. She wants him to coddle her and treat her like a spoiled baby and at th" same time to permit her to "mother" him, chaperone him, and act as his food censor. She wants him to pat her on the head and at the same time to kneel down and ki?s the hem of her garments, with reverence. She wants to tell him everything, the minute it happens find at the same time she yearns to be regarded as a deep dark, fascinating mystery. She wants him to pay for her "permanent wave" and to buy her idiotic little hats at insane prices and yet to believe that underneath these, she has brains, Ileas, and sound political opinions. She wants him to dress like a tailor's advertisement, wear his hair like a poet' make love l!ke a mov-

i inf-plcture idol, dance like an angel

and at the same time to make a living for her. She wants him to be strong enough to have made his own career. In the past and yet weak enough to P-t her map out his future for him. She wants to be able to make a hero of him with one hand and a fool of him with the other.

wiihhv-cisms. A pessimist Is n"vcr actually unhappy there are too many things In the world going exactly his way!

She wants to be the "angel

who

appeals to his higher nature and. at the same time, to murder all the women who appeal to the other nine-tenths of him. She wants him to tll her nothing but the honest truth and. at the samo time, to .wear that she is the only woman he ever enjoyed kissing. She wants him to trust her absolutely ar.d, at the Fame time, always to be a little Jealous never to be juite sure of her. She wants him to caress her with one hand and to win battles, writ checks, and make himself a "power" in the world, with the other. She wants him to be frugal, economical, ard provident and at th same time to tip the hall-boys and waiters with princely prodigality. She wanLs him to be the sun. moon, and stars of her existence and at the time time to serve as an umbrella on a rainy day. ?he wants him to "understand" her and at the same tlm to think her the only fibsolr1- -'t v. an In thc world!

Now that apartments have shrunken to the size of a hat. and hats are almost the size of an apartment, where shall we keep the dog?

A sweetheart talking nonsense on a moonlight ni?ht, and a husband talking finnnce on a rainy morning are so different, that one has to pinch on -self In order to realize that it's the same man.

Platonic frl.ndship Is that plage of love, at which a man is still wondering if he dare klsCT a girl!

Th thing that has driven more women to tal;e the train for Reno and more men to take the downward path, than anything else, is the tendency to substitute German Kultur for French polltene", after marriage.

Changing Standards Following Trail of Rabid Social Unrest by AKTiin; i:i:id. In the vast confusion, begotten l the s-c;al unrest and Industrial uncertainties occasioned y the world war upheaval, there hns com to pa? a personal and m"ntal disorder that is discernible in the lax regard we have for the old standards of thought and action. Those oM laws that once were respected the vrry foundations cf cur chiliration have been shaken out of place. It may be wafely assumed that the. American people were never so universally stirred and confused by the multiplication cf theo ries. doctrines and half-baked idrat on every subject under the rjn thft" ha bee.'- th case during the ! months which we have parsed slncr the close of the war. It Is as if .some mighty hand h l tii ken the nation by the sruf? f the r.eck and shaken from It much of the old conservatism which wn once our pride and upon which rented so much of our confidence in th-' future permanence of the countr The land Is full of prophets cf both good and evil. Theories a to ever;, human activity are promulgated on every side with a wildnes and abandon that are startling. The constitution, which has been the bulbar of our civil and political faith through all theso years Ls undergoing an expansion which presag" vast possibilities for the future. It is as if the United States, after years of following a beaten path, had suddenly determined, in both its private and public thought. t. f k new paths and start all ov : again. These conditions are eas"; soen In tho changed standards ' living. The political changes b which the constitution has been adl-e-d to in the recent prohibition amendment and the possible further amendment to include woman puffrage. are larger manifestations e' the shifting of thought that m abroad in the land. Theso are subjects about hlh exists a diversity of opinion. w they may be regarded as actual crystallization of the purpose, of th" American people to move cut rf the past into a new and untried future, and the ultimate wisdom or uriwl-

elom ef their adoption la yet to 1 e

determined. The Intent behind brv

prohibition and woman suffrage i unassailable, and the. results are already establishing their grat valu- . It is when we come to Industrial thought and conduct, as suggested by the. disregard of old standard and ihe reckless establishment f new unbaked rules, born of the moment, that one is conscious of a sense of danger and of loss.
