The District Commissioners, in a letter to Chairman Reed of the House District committee, asks that an amendment be made to the desertion bill, so as to eliminate the penalty of “hard labor” The Commissioners point out that the purpose of this bill is to restore to the Juvenile Court of the District Jurisdiction over non-support cases. This removal from the Juvenile Court was in April, 1921, by the Su- preme Court decision that imprison- ment at hard labor is an unusual punishment, and that prosecution must be after grand jury indictment.

Underpaid o— <> I hear our village pastor preach an hour on Sunday morning; up- lifting things he tries to teach, all bootless topics scorning. He has no artistry in words his style is dull and dreary, and I, with other sinful birds, at times grow rather weary. I sometimes wish I had his place; then I would charm the peo- ple, and filter language through my face until I jarred the steeple. I think of lessons I could teach if 1 were but anointed; no boring ser- mons would I preach, chaotic and disjointed. I'd hand our sermons full of fire, I'd be no pepless | the truth I'd thunder till the choi would sweat and cease to whisper. And then a streak of sunshine slants athwart -the pnlpit craggy, and I behold the pastor’s pants— they're old and patched and bagg: The pastor’s shoes are also patched, shed shirt is flabby, gloves are badly time-worn 3 matched, his whole get-up is shab- his by. And I recall the paltry wage for which he does preachmg he's shabby in this gilded age, wi motors round us screeching! Hli Sunday hat is streaked with mold, and moths have chewed his trou- sers; while all the world is full of gold and opulent carousers. Ah, no, I would not take his place! Want's wolves around me roaring, I could not stir the human race with lan- guage fine and soaring. (Copyright.) W RLT MASON.

Thomas declares he was summoned W. Johnstou, post office in- January §, who told him enator Butler, or his authorized rep- resentative, had filed a charge with tho department and accused Thomas of writing the letter.
