Chairman John T. Adams of the Republican national committee, addressing the Women’s National Repub- Yiean club extolled partisanship in politica ard party responsibility in government and gave the women members of the party much good advice out of the ac- comulation of wisdom, the result of a life time's serv- ice in the Republican party. Chairman Adams said: “The Women’s National Republican club sounds good to a Republican who believes in our system of government. Those who have been party men all their lives are naturally in favor of women being party women. In our bi-party country, perhaps the best thing for » woman {s to be a Republican partisan; the second best thing, a Democratic partisan; and about the poorest thing she can do, politically, is to be a non-partisan or a woman partisan. There is about as much logic in the women forming a political party of their own, as in having the green-eyed, or the red-/ d people set thomselves up as & po very time we learn of the or- ganization of a woman’s Republican club, or a wom- an’s Democratic club, either one, we think the women are going to justify our confidence, that when they got their poli ’ they would recognize their po- litical res Good Republicans are better 3 much rather have the wom- nan have them organize under| r of non-partisanship or the factional standard of a woman’s party. “There never was a time when greater problems confronted our country than now, nor when respon- sible leaders faced greater difficulties in the solution of those problems. It was never more important than| now that ricans, when considering public ques-| ticns, should be guided by their views on fundamental| principles of government, rather than by individual or| “actional interests. Few greater misfortnues could| befall our country in these trying times than to have| Am our civic energies frittered away in contests among groups, factions, occupational interests, or social divisions. “Just as we feel a responsibility to the nation, which we believe must lead us into one or the other of the great political parties, so we should have a sense of responsibility for the party that will favor a proper| measure of solidar! Your political party will not hold your respect if it fails to keep its| promises. We don’t believe that the millions who voted| the Republican ticket a year ago were united as to all details of party p But we do believe that there 2 nunity of general aim and purpose| ng of minor and individual differ-| scharge the great, broad, general| is imposed upon a party when | ences, in order to responsi t comes into antho: *Repud had more of this capacity} erene-= for the sake of ma-| ne: 3, Our traditions have} ficiency, of getting results, two generations the nation has © turn to,our party in any crisis {n| d for these quall- after some experience ntry turned over to us| ggest task in national of doing the job. never failed +, | possible the compromis of Republican administranion. Our congress has made a record in constructive, progressive legislation that has hardly been equaled by any previous congress. We have restored peace to our country and have led the world farther on the highway of disarmament than it has ever before traveled in all its history. “Before us there is opportunity and urgent neces- for further achievement. In order to get results ere is need for mutual trust and confidence; for a broadness of vision that shall be able to overlook mi- nor interests for the sake of great essentials. We ask nobody to surrender any of his right of in- dividual opinion. We recognize that Wyoming is a part of the United States the same as Rhode Island, nd t#at Or gon has the same interest and must have © same Voice on questions affecting the national wel- fare as Massachusetts. We want our historic party to be a clearing house of absolutely free, unfettered, and unbossed individual judgments. We ask only that measure of generosity and tolerance that will make the agreements, the edjust- ments, on which at last all legislative accomplishments must be based. “Precisely because Republicans have always been capable of making these concessions of common sense to the common good, we have earned the confidence of the nation. Just in the measure that we shall ¢ox- tinue capable of such mutual concessions, such prac- tical compromises, we shall deserve continued tenure of that confidence. “Knowing as well as we do, the persons at Washing- ton and throughout the country, in whom is centered the responsibility for our performance, we feel able to give you assurance that our party is going to con- tinue its successes, to lead the nation out into a bet- ter time, and to deserve of our people and the world the good will that must accrue to sound leadership, high purposes, and broad, constructive achievement.” SEGRE SARE GRADUALLY BECOMING EFFECTIVE. Acceptunce of the fact of prohibition is still resisted by quite a minority in the country, who base their hopes of a return to some form of liquor selling, upon a change of sentiment among the people strong enough to induce congress to exercise its power in a form to annul the Eighteenth amendment. There is no im- mediate likelihood of such action and the future holds no promise to the wets that it will ever occur. Rather does it appear that as the supply of liquor, left over from the old day, vanishes, the people grow better satisfied and more willing to settle down and abide by the law of the land. Sentiment existing among the people is better judged by what they say on the subject. Elwell Mead ef Connecticut after considerable observation and in- vestigation has this to say: “When a boy on the farm, one of my chores was to feed the calves. They did a lot of ‘bellerin’’ at weaning time. Now that the people who didn’t want to be weaned by the Eighteenth amendment have be- gun to stop behaving like calves, there may be more chance to hear from the very large majority who wanted prohibition. Figured by territory or counties or population, the liquor business had been voted out of more than 75 per cent of the United States before the amendment, so that the state legislatures were merely enacting the will of the people. “Ts legal prohibition effective? The Albany County, N. Y., penitentiary receives prisoners from eight coun- ties. In 1910 there were 1,120 commitments; in 1915, 1,074; in 1920, 173, Of the commitments in 1910, 125 were for drunkenness; in 1915, 182; in 1920, 6. “The commitments to Connecticut jails for drunk- enness in the year ended September 30, 1919, were 3,778, but ‘» che year ended September 80, 1920, they were only 943. In the city of Hartford the arrests for drunkenness for the yeay 1916 were 6,973, but in the two years ended June 30, 1921, they were only 5,219; that is, they were reduced more than three- hfths, “One of the magazines In its December issue says in an article by a supposed expert on ‘Who’s Drink- ing in America?’ that of the 35,000,000 adult males in the United States, 15,000,000 were teetolars be- fore the amendment and 29,000,000 were drinkers. Of these, the article says, the payday night drinkers who have stopped number 12,000,000, the eccasional drink- crs who have stopped 4,500,000, and the regular sa- loon drinkers who have stopped 1,000,000. So that of the 20,000,000 pre-prohibition drinkers only 2,500,- 600 remain, one-eighth of the former number. That makes the amendment seven-eighths effective. “But that isn’t all. The same authority gives the total amount of liquor smuggled, distilled and with- drawn from bond in the last year as 80,000,000 quarts. Che Some dme in the summer of 1920 two men, whem successive commis: sions had pronuchced to be feeble in mind, were executed in Sing Sing. The second commission, after examina tions lasting several days, had re- ported that both prisoners were men- tal defectives, possessed of a mentality less than that af an avcnige child of twelve years. If they hud any clear realization of what was coming to them they took a queer way of show- ing it, as they laughed, sang, shouted and danced to the end. As far as they were concerned, it is perhaps just as well that they did. Together with two others mentally normal, they had been convicted of one of those brutal murders in which as to frequency and wantonness, the United States leads the world, and then, though only children mentally, they had been the tools of iniquity too long to render it possible to turn them to useful ends. zi But the incident reises two tmpor- tant questions in principle. Is it the infention of the law to put children te death? and if not, is there any way o: rendering such a practice unneces- sary in certain cases ? ‘The law of the state ts explicit as to the sanctity of life in the average child under twelve years. Actual prac- tice goes even fufther, as no person has ever been executed at Sing Sing under the age of eighteen years; ané in New York City, since 1901, no per sons under sixteen years of age has ever been convicted of murder in the first degree. In actual practice age 1s computed by the number of years that a person has lved But the stat. ute hints strongly that, when menta! defect is concerned the age of a person must be considered in reference to That means a little over a pint a week for the 2,500,- 000 drinkers left, but the average amount of drink for the 20,000,000 drinkers in 1917 was about’ nine pints a week. “This proves the new interpretation of the law of supply and demand—that we can regulate the supply and change the demand. “The real spirit of people is revealed in their spon- teneous unthinking behavior. The big greeting card publishing houses say that while the people spend $22,000,000 a year for Christmas cards the Eighteenth amendment-joke cards are a drug on the market.” WRT Bee THE WAVE OF WICKEDNESS. Dr, John Straton of Calvary Baptist church, New York, tells the world from his pulpit of the wicked- ness that sweeps it and the “unholy trust” that trains and guides American youth. War, he declared, to be the supreme immorality and the greatest of wars has been followed by the widest range of immorality his- tory has known, An appalling wave of lawlessness and immorality is sweeping the whole world, and the forces that. pro- duced the world war are the same forces that are be- | hind this lawlessness. Modern ci tion is not complex; it is the very essence of simplicity and the fundamentals'in order- ly society are the virtue of womanhood, the honor of manhood, the sanctity of the marriage vow, the prop- er handling of children, and a right church life. These fundamentals the speaker emphasized. Right church life is fundamental because it is through the church that the other fundamentals have been made to the race, There can be no such right church life without @ proper regard for the Lord’s Day—the one day in seven for rest and worship. a Applying these fundamentals to society as it exists today Dr, Straton declared that there is being levied against the Sabbath a most terrific assault, an ugly at- tack that is shocking, and the worst offenders are movies and theatrical life, which are tearing down and destroying the Sabbath. Half a million of boys and girls in New York, from Protestant homes, are not in Sunday schools, and contemporaneous with their dis- | Appearance from the school and church has been the | development of:the movie picture houses in New York. In all his experience, he said, he has never encounter- ed a group of men anywhere so manifestly of degen- eration and sensuality as the movie theater group in New York. Prize fighters, sporting associations, mov- ies and theatricals and the liquor interests are the “Unholy Trust” which is working for the destruction knowledge, realization, and the prof: its of experience—to mental age, in ether words. The general test of responsibility, as set forth In the penal law, section 1120 is that a person {s not excused from responsibility except upon proof that at the time of the commission of the criminal act he was laboring under such a defect of reason as. 1. Not to know the nature and qual- ity of the act he was doing. 2. Not to know that the act was wrong. f It is evident that the word “know” means more tian a mere awareness of what is transpiring—implies a more wrong than a more or less mechanical recollection that wrong acts may be followed by punishment. Such broad meanings must be ascribed to the word “know” if a dis- tinction is to be maintained between the “knowing” of men and of animals. Two great’ classes of abnormal peo- ple are affected by the legal test of responsibility—the insane and the mentally deficient. But the penal law 1s more explicit as to mental defec- tives than as to the insane As far as the insane are concerned the test is simply as quoted. The in- terpretation of “know” is left to the judges; and most of the disagree- All Dr. King’s New Discovéry of the children of America.

Tt would a supreme miracle if society could raise a sturdy race on the diet it is giving the children today—mov- ies, cigarettes, dances and chewing gum. be | For Colds and Coughs Up Clear Headed.

At first sight this might seem to mean, as in actual Practice it does mean, that childhood, in the eyes of the law, is determined) solely in terms of years.
