Congress anticipated the profiteer in passing the bonus legislation. Anyone who accepts a cer ate as security for a loan prior to Jan. 1, 1927, is liable to a civil suit in which a veteran can recover $100 damages. The United States secret service has been doing some effective work in guarding the beneficiaries of the bonus law against various forms of fraud. CHEERFUL NEWS President Coolidge’s determination to urge further tax! cuts on Congress is cheerful news for the nation. A sur- plus of two hundred million at the end of the fiscal year June 30 is estimated by the treasury department. The chief executive points out that while taxes in many instances have been reduced, the point has not been reached as yet where taxes cease to be a burden, Secretary Mellon points out the necessity of the state and the nation getting together and deciding what the re- spective fields of state and federal taxation shall be. He deplores the federal estate or inheritance taxes. This field, of taxation, he believes, should be left to the state while on! the other hand the states should reserve income taxation for the federal government. His advice is sound. The! double income tax works a hardship and slows up industry Secretary Mellon points out effectively that business men will |} not continue to sow where they cannot reap. By overlap-| ping and duplication of taxation, the very ends which the public officials seek to serve are defeated. SPIRITUAL RENAISSANCE Nothing less than a vast spiritual renaissance can pre- vent the western civilization from entering upon a new dark age. Otherwise our civilization is doomed to revert to medi- evalism. So says Glenn Frank, a sincere thinker, editor of the Century Magazine, and recently elected president of Wis- consin university. “The new reformation depends largely on the rising of a truly spiritual leader, who will have to be a combination of Francis Bacon and Billy Sunday,” Dr. Frank safd. This leader will not be a wandering free lance, he said, but some one in an official position, possibly a future president, of the United States. ~* It is hard to believe that a president of these United States will have the burning desire to change the spirituality of the Nation. The combination that Dr. Frank suggests is logical, however. The man who will embody Bacon, the philosopher, and Sunday, the showman-evangelist, will appeal to both the thinkers and the hoi-polloi. It seems, though, that the work of arousing the people to a spiritual reformation is the mission of the churches. Squabbles over modernism and fundamentalism should be relegated to the limbo of unimportant things. The time has come for the churches to gird their loins for greater things. AUTO DEATH RATE Figures just compiled by the federal Department of Commerce indicate steady increase in the auto death rate. It has reached 19 per 100,000 of the nation’s population. In 1924 in New York City alone 1,001 met death in automo- bile accidents. Chicago came next with 560, Detroit 305. and Los Angeles 26' These figures indicate the necessity for stricter control of the automobile traffic. Congested streets, imperfect sy tems of parking and ineffective enforcement of speed ordi- nances all contribute to the auto death rate. If this death rate were caused by some epidemic, every agency would be directed to the eradication of the cause. The nation seems powerless and all too indifferent in forcing safety regulations in the operation of automobiles. Indulgent parents allow children to speed over the roads in high powered cars. Many under the effects of liquor drive cars and escape often with a reprimand or a small fine. : Ultimately, the auto death rate will force strict regu- lation of traffic. It is approaching proportions now that will awaken public opinion and force drastic measures. In 1924 there were 5,030 deaths from automobile accidents as against 4,908 the year before. The use of the automobile and motor truck has expanded so rapidly on streets originally intended for horse - drawn vehicles that the problem imposes a perplexing one upon state.and federal authorities. Secretary Hoover has given traffic a close study and from his office has come some excellent recommendations which should form a basis for restrictive measures in the interest of public safety. > HOME OWNERS Almost half of the Nation owns its own homes. To be exact, 11,000,000 families live in dwellings of their own. In view of this we are far from an economic revolution. Just aé#Jong’as this condition holds true the Nation need have no fear of radicalism. ’ AS eee -Father’s Day has come and gone without fanfare. How wine know thet the day to honor father was Sunday?

Those fiends wouldn't let her, poor child—and so she died. Isn’t it too bad that the chief of the gang got away?

Rowell The Board of femperance of the Methodist church calls Noah, Nero and Alexander the “conspicuous drunks” of his- tory, and points out that in their day whiskey had not been invented, and that they must therefore have acquired their drunks on the beverages now touted as “non-intoxicating.” Unfortunately for the argument, these historic drunks all came from southern climates, and consequently belong to the “and wine” half of the question; which does not mean anything. <‘Beer,and wine,” in modern agitation, means “beer.” But if we must rely on ancient examples, rather than on modern experience, illustrations can also be given from the less-known mythologies of/the beer-drinking north. In Beowulf, the oldest literary monument of English speech, the theigns of Hrothgar were “before druncen” and “neodu druncen”; that is, “beer drunk” and “mead drunk.” And in the perhaps even older Finnish epic, the Kalevala, Ancient Wainamoinen not only invented beer, but got drunk on it. So if we are to depend on literature, the wine of Noah, the mead of Wainamoinen, and the beer of Hrothgar were all intoxi- {Young animals. learn. tq, play about {Who knows but that another whip cating, So is Pilsener.

But only a race of super-monkeys ‘would have so loved chatter as to make free speech their most sacred right, parliaments their most admired institutions, libraries their most precious accum- ulation, and newspapers their favor- ite daily interest. If we are fallen angels, we have fallen far. But if we are super-apes, we have made a pretty good job of it, and, with all our laziness, instability, indecency, incessant chatter, and other simian qualities, there is still hope of im- provement.

And start ‘a fight over it. Do that, and you can make news, and therefore a popular issue, of even the multipli- cation table, the ten commandments and the eternal verities. This is the reason why evolution is in everybody's mouth. Except for its momentary involvement in the other issue of freedom of knowledge and teaching, there is nothing new about evolution. It is no different an issue than it has always been. But a law, a lawsuit, and the par- ticipation of prominent men have made it news.
