Thers always has been and always will be in this vale of tears a plentiful supply of the common, kitchen garden variety of fool. If the blessed tribe of fool-killer would only increase in proportion to the census of fools, things might be different and the world made happier. Confining this sermonette to the legislative fool, let’s give him the once over, not for the purpose of discovering what makes him that way, but merely to note the manner in which he /3 maintaining his char- acter. He is constantly attempting to provide a rem- edy by law to amend conditions not normally touch- able by legal enactment. For instance, a Massachusetts statesman introduced a bill to make attendance at church compulsory. Admittedly the chureh is a perfectly respectable in- stitution and peeple ought to attend regularly, but Massachusetts outgrew that sort of thing more than a hundred years ago. The statesman proposing the measure must be a throwback to some blue stock- inged, blue-nosed Puritan aneestor who helped draft the blue laws of colonial days. The gentleman’s bill was chloroformed. A South Carolina member of the legislature, up- turning scientific theories of the descent of man, in- troduced a bill forbidding the teaching of what he called “the cit of Darwinism.” A Kentucky legisla- tor did the same thing. Nothing happened to Dar- winism in either case and the people of the two states are permitted to hold ruch beliefs as they choose. Even spite of Mr. Bryan. "in Arkansas there is mild excitement over the right of 2 school board or a court of law to determine the length of dress skirts a parent should provide for a high school daughter. To date the girls are wearing any old length and the court is dodging the issue, In Chevy Chase, a suburb of Washington, local au- thorities have before them a proposition to muzzle the horses of the District of Columbia to prevent them m eating the hedges. rer so it goes. If it wasn’t that the majority of legislative bodies throughout the land have moments ef sanity, we would be burdened and harrassed and regulated and forbidden by all sorts of freak enact- ents. y Tt is urged that all these things are but examples wf reaction from the liberties, relaxations and excesses of war times, which try to express themselves in too drastic legal restrictions of American liberties. Eternal vigilance is no less the price of liberty today than before the Revolution, and only by a sane and balanced judgment and moderation can fanaticism, blue law advocacy and freak legislation be held in check. io THE WHIPPING POST. An ancient manuscript dating back a hundred years before the invention of printing, relates of criminals being punished in a London court yard. “One felloe was whypped upon his reads the script. That was in the middle ages. True enough. during the present month, in Maryland, not one loe” but two, one white and the other colored, suf fered the self-same punishment—tied to a post and| whipped on the bare back. | The crime was wife-beating. Unpopular and/ frowned upon everywhere. Generally agreed as hor- rible and condemned as bratal. History does not in- form us of the offense for which the London man was punished. it is referred to only to show the antiquity of the mode of punishment. Maybe he deserved all that he received. We cannot dispute it But surely there is no sympathy wasted in this day upon the Maryland wife-beaters. The whole question turns not upon the question of| the justness of the punishment under the law, but/ upon the effect such a public spectacle as a human be- ing whipped at the post. The people at hand seen it} all. The newspapers reported it for others to read and| disen<s. Everybody talked about it far and wide. The matter is still being discussed and opinion is} somewhat divided as between the Mosaic law—an eye foran eye—and the teaching of One who came with n new law that clearly did not urge being brutal to brutes, and upon which law civilization has rested for nearly two thousand years. ee BUILDING CATHEDRALS. “Modern civilization, one might truly say, is based on the home,” states the Omaha Bee. “Back of the home often almost submerged in drudgery, is the mether. ed by domestic duties, life is an achievement more than a task. Cooking is not merely the preparation of food, nor sweeping simply chasing dust, nor is the teaching of cleanliness, religion and love for ihe beautiful im nature and art only toil. AT these things go to the strengthening of civilization. “The spirit of the housewife is needed throughout every activity of modern life. Whatever the task to which fate has assigned one, it has its connection with something greater. To view it thus is to find joy in work and to gain in craftsmanship. “Three men all engaged at the same employment were asked what they were doing. One said he was making $5 a day. Another replied that he was cut- g stone. The third said he was building a cathe- gral. The difference was not in what they were actu- doing, although the spirit of one might quite pos- barye back’ B | { | k City; Globe Bidg.; Bos-| Yet to the best of them, however hard press-| sibly have made him more expert in his task. They were all earning the same wage, they were all cutting stone; but only one held it in his mind that he j helping build a great edifice. Life meant more to him| j than to his mates, because he saw farther and more| = “The farmer may be only planting seed, but if he | pens his eyes he is feeding the world. The railroad! man, the factory hand, the clerk in the store, likewise! | re building their cathedrals. The investors in stocks | and bonds, the executives in charge of great corpora-_ j tions, they are building cathedrals likewise, if only they can catch the vision. The housewife does not, count the dollars she receives for Her exertions, and if she did her life would be unhappy indeed. The rest of us, the great figures in the industrial world more than the humble ones, are thinking too much about} such things as cutting stone and making profits really | jto be realizing the beauty of life.” | —————————1__ TO A SENSE OF LAW. “We do not wish to utter alarmist phrases,” states the Churchman, “but from the reports that come to us| | from all sides, of excessive drinking among youths and| sirls, men acd women, we think the time has come| when that section of the community who have a re- epect for law must awake to the tragic seriousness and| the disgrace of the present situation. The other night at a so-called artists’ ball in New York, many young women lay on the floor drunk; liquor was passed from hand to hand and openly displayed. .In college com-| munities the condition is very serious. Boys and girls are hearing discussions at home on the subject of home! brews; the young people hear the prohibition law held up to contempt and openly denounced. Under these circumstances they find a lure in law-breaking. “We have become accustomed during the past two years to indecent dress and lewd dancing. It seems now that we are to become accustomed to drunken girls, dancing with drunken boys. It is time that the churches expressed some very forceful opinions con- cerning law and decericy. If the Eighteenth amend- ment is not to be enforced, we hope that it will be re- pealed. Whatever happens, we hope that the present condition will not be aggravated by any such legit tior as is now proposed, that will permit light wine and beer to be manufactured and sold. Is anyone so trustful as to believe that the lawless communities that are now making a dead letter of the Volstead act will confine themselves within the law when beer and light wines are permitted? Some, indeed, who advo- cate that change in the law are hypocritical. They know what the judges at the last convention of the bar association affirmed; that such a law cannot be enforced. “We appeal to the bishops and other clergy of our church, we appeal to our prominent laymen, and espe- cially to the women of the church, to do what they can toward recalling America to a sense of iaw. ‘There was hope a few months ago that our country would banish forever the liquor evil from its common life; that the next generation of children would grow to maturity without contact with this ancient curse of the race. “The Churchman is giad to place itself definitely at the side of those clergy of our church who have stood by the prohibition law, who, in unequivocal language, have denounced the lawbreakers and given no counsel of comfort to the liquor forces. The real fight for the Eighteenth amendment has now begun. On which side will the church stand?” 9 LILLIAN RUSSELL ON IMMIGRATION. Lillian Russell, the well-known American sdctress who was sent abroad as a special commissioner to study the immigration question, has reported to Wash- ington that in her opinion two drastic changes should be made in the immigration laws. The first would prohibit all immigration for five years, the second would provide that all immigrants to this country live here for 21 years before being per- mitted to vote. Our own males must live here for that length of time and why not aliens? Ferther recommendation is that no immigrant should be permitted to remain here who will not, within a given length of time, learn to read and write English; and that immigration officials chould come over on all boats bringing immigrants, talking with those who will make their homes here, learning their ambitions, and thus being able to direct them where they should go in America for their own and the country’s best good | Amplifying her belief in the five-year restriction Miss Russell reports ‘that Europe is ready to release) thousands of immigrants, most of them undesirable, the moment our restrictions are lifted. It is for us te} stem such a destructive tide by legislation which wil! admit to residence here only constructive labor. We need farm workers, not lower East Side denizens, which are the sort most eager to enter the country. Immigration to this country at the present time is checked, not by the lack of immigrants or boats but by our present quota laws. Those who see restriction of immigration as a solution to too great a proportion of foreigners in our population consider this as prov-' ing the efficiency of the quota law, while its oppon- ents say that the restriction is entirely one of quan- tity, and that the 300,000 per year admitted under the present law are very largely of the wrong kind. ae ee THE OLDER BOYS. No, we are not yet willing to reach for the chloro- form bottle and apply it as directed some years ago by Dr. William Osler. We are desiring to hang on to our old boys just as long as Providence will permit us to do so. As examples of what we desire to retain, there is Dr. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, who cele- brated his eighty-eighth birthday by putting over a regular day’s work; and there is Thomas Edison. sev- enty-five, who apologized for being a few moments Iate at the office because his family was celebrating bis anniversary. Two men, both long past the age when most men are useful, continue to live and work and make the world better. How do they do it? A stagnant pool | | | | is one into which no water flows, from which no water runs. <A fresh, clear pool is one into which water rons and from which water constantly flows. Edison and Eliot haye minds through which thought, ideas, pictures, conceptions constantly flow. To stay young, read, think, educate your brain. You will never be an Edison or an Eliot, probably, but you will be of use and live long enough to make that use count in proportion to what you know, what you learn, to what purpose you use your brain. po ee } THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Simon D. Fess, a representative in congress from| Ohio, and a noted educator of that state, speaking on | modern education has said there is a superabundance | of teachers for the advanced subjects, but few capa- | ble instructors for the elementary grades. | | Too much importance cannot be attached to what | is accomplished in the public schools. University and | college students who failed to realize their ambitions’ j solely because their early education had been neglected | and not because they fail to apply themselves while, |in college are numerous. : | It should be borne in mind by. everyone that the | education obtained in the public school is more impor- tant than that of the university and it should neces- sorily follow that the public schools should be brought up to the very highest possible standard. In no other way can the nation expect to produce thoroughly edu- cated men and women. ‘ v4 j Che Casper Daily Cridune IF THE MONKEY GLAND OPERATION ONLY WASN’T SO HARD .

To us, came Calvary, and bitter tears To him, the glorious Resurrection dawn. ‘When was forgot life's grief and fears In the joy and peace of that glad morn.

Ninetynine per cent of the “reform” fraternity desire what is best ‘or the nation, and they only want that when a majority of the people are convinc- ed that it is best. As a general thing the reformer is the very best friend of “Business.” If he is fanatical about anything {t is popular educa- tion and freo discussion. He is not against sport and certainly not against gaiety. As a general thing it t= advisable for any legitimate “interest” to con- sider what the reformer says, as his suggestions aro frequently, and we hope always, intended for tho good Jof the interest itself. He may be mistaken, but his heart is apt to be in the right place, and considering him as an enemy is not wise. For instance, just a short time ago the reformer suggested that something should be done about the motion pic- ture industry. It was set forth by the reformers that the showing of nude women on the screen; the por- trayals of scenes of lust and extreme vulgarity would not in the long run benefit the industry itself. It was jeven suggested that certain conditions jon the inside of the industry might be the better for a little investigation. to You!
