Against ‘ these, how r, there must be placed such states as ..ew Hamp- a shire, which las just passed a law prohibiting women from using cosmeties; Delaware, where teachers are fined for not reading the Christian bible in the public schools; Virginia, where citizens cannot call their personal and real property ? their own because of the state dry law; Connecticut where a Yale professor, at the instigation of prohibitionists, has com- fi piled a “prohibition Bible,” in which more than one hundred alterations and deletions have been made in connection with the use of the word “wine;” Tennessee, with her anti-evolution b! law which prohibits the teaching of the theory of evolution in 4 ler public and state educational institutions; Georgia, where F city and state officials openly are identified with the machina- * «tions of the Ku Klux Klan, and Oregon where parents are c terced to send their children to the public schools whether ® or n0. a it can be seen that when the commonwealths are considered ¢ asa whole. the people of this nation constantly are faced with a see-saw fight in the struggle between the so-called uplifters and those persous who adhere to the inherent and inalienable {I rights laid down in the American constitution. The fortunate thing about the struggle is that it is coming more and more into the open, and the alleged uplifter, are faced with the task of trying to hoodwink people of a more enlightened age than they did in the days before the reformation and in later tines when the Puritans burned witches at the stake. A nation of people is never so deeply stirred as when it begins to real- ive the truth about the efforts to encroach upon its rights—and when the people see themselves oppressed and their liberties I being taken away from them sooner or later they are going v to reyolt, It not only has been the history of every nation on r earth, but it his been and is now the history of the American 2 commonwealths. ‘ I +f ¢ The Renovated Hat . r President Coolidge has sent his old spring hat to the ) cleaner to be “fixed over” and returned to the White House before Kuster, A few Democratic editors, payagraphers and x others, have given this incident unusual advertising and are I inclined to joke about this exhibition of White House oconomy, s ‘They are on dangerous ground, They are likely to make this renovated old hat as historic as the carpet slippers which 4 Jefferson is said to e worn about the White House, and i which have been presented in Democratic campaign encomiums : on Jeffersonian simplicity for half a century. This Democratic C joking about the Covlidge renovated hat is likely to make it a t slogan for the Republicans in later campaigns, Of course the president could*afford to buy a new spring hat, Hat manufacturers and dealers would prefer to have him do so. On the other ul, hat cleaning is a present-day custom, ¢ iners need to be patronized as well ag hat manu cover, the president is practicing as well | us preaching eeonomy, and the Democratic jokemakers are f helping to advertise his consistency.

Senator Lenroot’s decision means there will be a knock- | down and dragout fight between him and Senator LaFollette, { The Coolidge administration and the Republican national comm e will back Mr ‘root. The LaFollette forces will put up candidate and a desperate effort will be made to defeat Lenroot for the nomination and probably, if he is nominated to beat him at the polls, lor months the movement to build up the Lenroot organi- zation, or the anti-LaVollette organization, has been actively supported from Washington. Lenroot has been given practi- eally all the federal patronage in Wisconsin by the adminis- tration, The members of the house from his state who are in sympathy with La¥ollette have been denied postoffice pat ronage. Postmaster »pointed have been friends of Lenroot or men picked to help build up his organization, The root organization feels it will be in a position to ‘ crush the LaFollette forces next year, Efforts will be made to defeat the Labollette members of the house in most of the districts t On the other hand, the grip of Senator LaFollette on the state is recognized ax potent. Much may depend on Senator LaVollette’s health. If he is in physieal condition he will tump the state against Lenroot, The contest is looked on as certain to attract national tlention and perhaps prove the most spectacular one of the coming year | Crazy Notions tors frequently have as erazy ideas about things as they rail against.

They say that any subject will do, if it is taught properly. Why, we haye no views on life, we have no gospel, nothing worth while. The young people of today need this gospel, and, in the face of this need. American scholarship is giving us nothing. “Look at the business man of today. He doesn't know what he is doing. But he is shrewd, terribly efficient. One time, when I was sailing for Europe and passed down by the New York skyline, I was filled with impressions. At first it seemed high and fine, something lifted up by the cleverness of the men who made it and for whom it was made. I thought how powerfnl it was, something tremendous, enormous. It gave the sense of something dominant of mastery and control. “But as I looked more I got the impressions of all the little lines in the towers—-pretty, meager little windows, cubbyholes, with a little space in between them—hiding places for some one who was ashamed to be seen and who wanted to conceal what he was doing from the rest of the world. “And then, the outlines seemed to have no meaning. They seemed purely accidental, a cover, or something of the sort. When I thought of all this I was filled with despair for the powers of the world because it had nothing but little ideas to control it and hidden in these little holes it had no sense of the powerful, of understanding of the real problems. Here was American business, clever, powerful, devoted, but unin- telligent and unguided. ‘ “Here lies the place of scholarship in our community, A democracy believes in the guiding power of the people. But democracy is a crazy endeayor, an inefficient, absurd way of carrying on human affairs, because it expects that unrestrained scholarship and understanding will come and take charge of the leadership of the country. “But how much responsibility do the scholars feel? What are their motives? They say that they ‘love their subject.” Why, they are like the people who play solitaire. All this reminds us of Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned. There is no place for the scholar who loves learning for its own sake. He must make his Jearning useful to the people.” expended by cities and towns for purely local needs.” Reduction in taxation wi'l come when we reverse the present prac- tice of voting for expensive projects and then undertaking to find the necessary revenue.

Greatness of the Penny The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is busied with the prepara- tion of an issue of 1%-cent stamps, for use on third class matter, and a somewhat smaller issue of one-half- cent stamps. Although an increased rate on third class matter prompted these fractional issues, we regard the thriftiness of that sundered pen- ny as a lesson well worth scanning. In the first place, the Government as many merchants do, might have thoughtfully concluded that the pub- lio does not wish to bother with fractional change, and have taken the whole cent. In the e¢cond place, a somewhat prodigal and spendthrift generation may learn economy thru enforced philately, as you might postales Hae WIE ya SS call ft.

German-Belge Trade Treaty Is Negotiated BERLIN, April 4.—(By the United Press).—Another wound from the world war was healed today when Germany and Belgium signed a com- mercial treaty. ‘The nation which suffered years of German occupation by the terms of the treaty will accord Germany the treatment of a “most favored nation” and will receive the same treatment in return. ‘The treaty provides that for a period of one year certain German products will be subjected to a duty sufficient to protect Belgian in- dustries from being ruined by com- petition with Germany. Reciprocally certain Belgian goods will be subject to similar treatment by Germany for a like period.

The vogue of contempt for small change rose to its spendthrift height, slowly and by degrees, yet surely. Presently only the littlest children, the toddlers, would sell a smile for a penny, and merchants determined that the annoyance of penny change no longer should be forced upon their patrons. They took the full nickel and the dime and called it even money, The buoyant West pounded on bare, splintered floors with its boots, and made declaration that no gent should have the least regard for any coin beneath the dig- nity of a quarter dollar, There were thousands of camps where the quar- ter was the minimum of barter. Lo, the American people minted a new and careless epithet for our small coins. ‘Chicken-feed,” they called them. It was beneath the station of the individual, laborer or lord of the oll and mineral lands than it will by levying exhorbitant taxes or pass- ing radical laws against these indus- tries.

Even more astonishing is the in crease in number of depositors, in dicating how widely distributed has been the measure of prosperity to which the banishment of the saloon has contributed. From 1914 to 1918 the Increase in depositors was only 16,174; but in 1919—the year following prohibition 7,538,501 new depositors were en enrolled, Since 1919 the people of the United States have been spend. ing generously.

The second division of the text comes from the last book of the bible and might be called the result of the first, the fi- nal destiny cf those whom God has Kept. It is such an easy thing to re- gard the people and incidents of the bible as things foreign and remote and without connection with the things of today. We no longer see angels, or have miracles in the sense of those of the bible. But let us not forget that truth is independent of either place or time in princple, and though our interpretation of it may and does change, yet truth remains the same. Since there were saints of old, there may be and are saints today. For a saint in the truest sense is anyone who has piety and virtue, and such may be the privilege of each of the sons of men. Saints are those whose faith in God's abliity to direct and control changes not with the change of ages. z In trouble, in sickness, in distress, in depression, when the spiritual horizon is overshadowed with dark est clouds, the saints still sing, “He abide Will Not Let Me Fall.” They are Aleading those who willingly submit their states that chew way to God, confident that he will ing, gum cleans keep them in every condition of life the teeth and acts to which they may be subjected tid anti- And these are they who at last shall Cs ‘i th the ‘serve him day and night in his septic in temple.” mouth.

In the book of the Revelation the churches are the stars which Christ holds in his hands, the candlesticks in the midst of which he walks.
