One Month, Daily and y One Year, Sund Play and Tariff In 1850 the national income was $95 per capita per year. In 1918 it was $558) In 1850 the eight hour had not even been thought of as serious-possibility. .By-1918 work- s in very industry were insisting on no more than efght hours a day and there had alrendy developed a demand for a five day week, allow- ing the worker two days each week for play. Pointe such as these are 1 worth considering—when it is ned that the protective tariff has enriched # few instead of the many. Baseball as a big game dates from | 1871. Lawn nis began to come into vogue a few years later but did not becorie a popular game until re- cently.

If we do not wish to have it imposed from without we must ourselyes impose it from within.” | Murder Mush Clarence Darrow, the lawyer who managed to have those young fiends in Chicago imprisoned for murder instead of permanently removed from this world, has had another murder case on his mind lately and according to the Associated Press reports he argued consistently in the matter, The worthy man in whose defense Mr, Darrow’s skill was used this case killed a woman, not legally his wife, because of jealousy, and the defense argued that if this man was insane from love and jealuosy he should go free, and if the killing was unpremedi- tated drunkenness was a good defense. The jury thought tho matter over for some time and apparently Mr. Darrow’s words had some effect, his client will not be executed but, alas, he will not go wholly and immediately free to be loving and jealous or unpremeditatingly drunk for a time. The sentence of the court was for twenty-three years the penitentiary. 2 Possible Substitutes Fifty leaders in the oil’industry were asked by the presi dent's oil conservation board in letters for their views con- g possible substitutes for domestic oil wells and the prod- now derived therefrom. An average of 20,000,000 gallons oline is being use® daily in the United States. The goy- ernment experts report that this country “is the largest pro- dueer and the largest consumer of petroleum, with rapidly di- minishing resources.”"The questions propounded in the board's letter include: Broadly speaking, does the utilization of one or me of the petroleum substitutes mentioned, or others, with which you may be familiar, offer possibilities of immediate import in relation to the conservation of petroleum?” “What measures, if any, would you care to recommend to the end that this nation might be prepared to uti these or other substitutes tothe best advantage?” The Dawes Crusade Is General Dawes building a presidential boom’? There seems to be evidences that the has struck an unusually popu- lar chord in his criticism of senate procedure. The first in- dication of it came in a batch of telegrams—several hundred of them—which reached his office at the capital the day after his inaugural speech. Since then confirmation of the popular ity of the issue has come from various sources; from the At- lantic seaboard to the’ Mississippi river and from the Mis sissippi on west the reaction was the same. And there is a growing impression in political circles that General Dawes is laying the groundwork for his candidacy for the presidency in 1928. His attacks on the senate in Boston and in New York, are visualized as the yehicle in which he hopes to the White House General Reform America’s greatest lawyer has this to say « isprudence, to which most American citizens can freely sub scribe: “A need exists for an immediate and radical change in American criminal jurisprudence. The country has reached a point where it is impossible for any American lawyer to know the law. There should be a thorough and general reform Ninericau jur- in this branch of justice. We must improve the administration of the criminal law, We must make it more prompt.” : Condition of Business Business has slowed down somewhat during th: t thirty days. This is clearly evidenced by reduction in the rate of oper ations of such major industries as iron and steel and cotton and wool textiles, declines in stock prices, lessened stock mar ket activity and the continued downward trend of the whole sale prices of basic commodities. Production this spring has followed the same general course as in the early part of the two preceding years, expansion being brought to a halt by unmistakable evidences of excessive output. There is no oc casion for surprise that this check has occurred, for this is an inevitable feature of readjustment from the abnormal con ditions of the war and postwar years. The swings of the pen dulum are narrowing, There was less overproduction in than in 1923 and the indications are that the slackening in 1925 will be less than in 1924, Although output in some lines thus far this year has outstripped consumption, there has been a quick abandonment of false hopes and prompt adjustment to the actualities of the situation. It is quite likely that further’ reductions in the e of operations will occur in some lines between now and mid-summer, after which the,course of events will be determined primarily by the outlook for crops and for agricultural prices. Tf business today is not especially goo only in a few industries can it be fairly said that it is poor, and there is no reason to expect that it will become so. Con ditions are fundamentally better than they were at the be ginning of the year and better than at the corresponding period of any year since the World War. 'A Moral Crisis The entire world is facing a crisis in morals. Sensuous dances, inordinate love for games of chance and licentious per formances in a multitude of theaters are external symptoms of a breakdown in morals, which has been too conspicuous throughout the world in the past decade, The German government is now redeeming German marks at the rate of twenty-three’ cents a trillion, but you can't afford to count ’em for that. The wheat acreage of nineteen countries this year is placed at 182,729@00 acres, against 125,159,000 Inst year, | wage earners is no longer confined to the few. oft give him th terial incret earning ast quarter century has the money needed to enj time. Something like two hundred mil- lion dollars worth of radio sets have is ‘spare been sold in three years. No fewer than three million people now own sets. No such number could own them unless wage earners were buy- ing them. The radio is a good deal of a luxury. The set costs some- thing to start with and after it has been purchased {t {s only a matter of time before a more expensive one is bought. Walter R. Ingalls estimates that about 70 per cent of the national in- come goes to wage earners and that only 30 per cent of our wealth ts in the hands of the well-to-do. By the well-to.do he’meens not the wealthy alone but those who !n 1916 paid taxes on incomes of $3,000 a year and upwards, There were ‘at least ten million holders of liberty bonds. The Penn sylvania railroad hag 140,000 stock- holders. The American Telephone and Telegraph company has 340,000 stockholders and nob owns as much as one per cent of the stock. The ownership of electric Nght and gas companies is steadily falling into the hands of the employes and’ the customers, In oth words, the are coming: to own more and more of the wealth of this country, are becoming capital ists as well as wage earners. Wage earners incomes are increas: ing not only through wages but through shares {n the profits because of the stock they own. They are living in better \and better houses. Many of them own their honses. They have money in excess of that necessary to buy the bare necessi- ties of life. A college education not so yery long ago was for the sons of the fairly well off and the rich. Among the students wage earners sons’ were conspleuous by their absence. At- tondance at all colleges ts growing by leaps and bounds. The big prob- lem today ts for the colleges to ac- commodate all the students wh ing man not only the} necessary for play but he with which to pay hours and| Che Casper Sunday Cridune come to them. At least one of the smaller women's colleges requires application for admission to be made four yeare in advance of entrance. This ts another indication of the better condition of the wage earner because the number of college stu- dents could not increase to the ex- tent they have if the sons and daughters of wage earners were not included in the numbat. Wage earners are coming mofe and more to have the money they need to acquire what they most desire..They have the moni nd the time for 1d for self development. are this Condition with exists in. any other c nd the comparison is very in favor of the United States makes it rather obvious that protective tariff could not harmed wage earr As a matter of dant evidence that that untry Kighly This | the have t there is one of the the for 1 and to meet f th abun- prin- e earner | y and to cipal reasons. why has so satisfy mon w much tine other desire with which e is because of tariff.

Valuable Knowledge What knowledge is of most worth? Herbert Spencer's answer is ience. clence is knowledge reduced to law and embodied in ststem. Yor direct self-preservation, or the ntenance of Iife'and health, the important knowledge is—sclence Fo: that indirect self-preservation which we call gaining a lvelihood, the knowledge of the greatest valuo is—sclence. For the due discharge of parental functione, the proper guidance ts to be found only in—science. For that interpretation o: national life, past and present, without which the citizen cannot rightly regulate his conduct, the ispensiblc key is—science. Alike for the most perfect produc tion and highest enjoyment of art in all its forms, the needful prepara- on is still—science. And for purposes of discipline—in- tellectual, moral, religious—the most elent study is once more—sciene: eee “Necessary and eternal as are its truths, all sclence concerns all man- kind for all time," Spencer observes “Equally at present, and in the motest ure, must it be of in- calculable importance for the regu- improved matters* by the mealy- mouthed flattery whic! we are ad customed to use in private, when we speak of America. Knowledge that we could not defend Canada from invasion has obliged us:to put up with affronts from the United States which we would not have stood from any other nation. he fault has been almost all on the side of America, to remember we need their ship much more than they need ours, and we have to thank them for that marvelous unprotected frontier of nearly “4,000 miles be- tween the United States and.Canada. “They care more what we think ot them than we care what they think of us.

It is right friend- “In spite of all disagreements, we just never cease to work for what would be the greatest of all safe- guards for peace—a firm alliance and friendship between all English speaking nations, among whom the United States must and will in- evitably be the largest and most powerful.” American supremacy, he explained, will come with the development of Pacific commerce, making North America the natural center of the world’s wealth and trade. Great Britain's fortunes are close to an end, he asserted, but she will re- main one of the world’s greatest nations for many years. “I do not represent the mind of the Church of England,” he said recently, ‘Heaven forbid that I should try. T have no ax to grind: bootlicking is not to my taste; and I strongly believe in speaking the truth, especially to those who seldom lation of their conduct, that man should understand the science of Ufe, physical, mental, and social; and that they should understand all other science as a key to the science of life. And yet the knowledge which ts of such transcendent value is that which, In our age of boasted educa- tion, recelves virtually the least at- tention, While this which we call ctvijiza- tion could never have arisen had tt not been for science; science forms scarcely an appreciable element tn what men call civilized training. Moreover, in certain states of the union, we find states actually pas- sing laws forbidding the teaching of sclence! . oe ‘apbrasing an eastern fable, we may say that in the family of knowl. edges, Science is the household drudge, who, in obscurity, hides un- recognized pertections. “To her," remarks Spencer, “has been committed all the work; by her skill, intelligence and devotion, have all the conveniences and gratifica- tions been obtained; and while cease- lessly_occupled ministering to the rest, she has been kept in the back- ground, that her haughty sisters fnight flaunt their fripperies in the eyes of the world. But no super-prophet is needed to tell us that the time is coming when the positions will be changed, and science will reign supreme. Let us look forward to that day. The Plain Man ‘There is no more urgent task be- fore the churches today than that of reaching the plain man. He has been frightened away from religious faith and fellowship by doctrinal requirements or by the “discipline” imposed by some churches, or by the cold intellectualism of others. He must now be met where he is, and religious interpretations of life must take account of life as he finds it. If religion can again reach him in a practical, intelli e and friendly way, it will have a chance to become again a formative power in the world. ‘The plain man demande that what glaims his attention should be in- telligible. His reason has served him well and he does not willingly Jabandon it in the face of baffling probler He knows that there is much he cannot understand but he Mies to believe—and is encouraged Q t by experience to believe—that its nation awaits only further re search by the human mind. Re- ligious faith, then,” must deal with the universe as an environment friendly to the human mind in which reason shares the throne with love and power. Not a capricious deity, but a divine purpose replacing chaos and caprice with order and progress —that is something that he can grasp, test, observe and relate to his own life. The plain man lives in the present. In most of his waking hours he is meeting strenuous competition, and the past interests him only so: long as he can be shown that the men of long ago were after all very like himself, the future only so long as he can see how it 1s to be reached fromy where he,stands tod ¥ ligious faith must be sufficiently Exclusive Funeral Chapel Free Use of Chapel First Class Service PHONE 899 THE LORTON FUNERAL HOME GEORGE LORTON, Proprietor Day and Night 333 SOUTH BEECH ST. “SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1925 concerned with his daily life to offe.\y him a motive for carrying his low with cheerfulness and to give hi an ideal by which to judge himsei; The plain man 1s democratic «, likes to think he fs.
