Walter Wynn, pre- dictedjsome days ago that world was about to enter a “chéotical” period, basing his forecast on writ- ings of the great pyramid of Egypt. need not look back to those pyramids as a basis such forecasts, as reading any newspaper would suggest that we have been in a chaotical per- fod for quite some time. The old standards by ple regulated themselves have lost their and staggering under ihe burdens created war, people are doing al] kinds of feclish jand wicked things. And yet the eternal righteousness s.i)} hold good. In due time will see that chaotic conditions can al- ways bq cleared up where people are willing to do what is right and fair. ADVERTISING RELIGION ele wide campaign is to be carried on for | religion, by the Associated Advertising | Clubs $f the “World, working with the churches. Religion is sometimes.advertised in an undigni- fied wey. A preacher ‘once remarked that if he would stand on his head In the pulpit, he would have ne trouble in drawing audiences. And if re- Tigious services are advertised as stunts and amus- ing pegformances, they’ may draw the crowd, bul the erdwd that comes from that motive does not | gein much. ‘The people who are backing the campaign | above referred to will avoid such raethods. Their | advertising will be good publicity, in that it will | give information, it will present trothyand re | mind people of things they wodtingoien Most | } people believe in religion, but have forgotten how valuable it is, arid they need some reminder. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLS Many families feel their children are not get- ing as much moral and religious instruction as they should have. Loose ideas of honesty and morality held by a good many people now seem to suggest that some form of training is lacking. And in many families, it is a big problem to know what to do with those restless youngsters during vacation. This problem is solved in Key West and some other towns by the plan of a vacation Bible school, conducted by the churches. In Key West it is be- ing conducted by the First Baptist church, but the schoo] is cheerfully and truly non-sectarian. The plan is made popular with the children by appealing to. their tastes, They have games and needed training along with the instruction. In one town of about 5,000 people, 160 young- sters are taking such courses, and in Key West there is a proportionate attendance equal to this. They have teachers who know how ‘to handle them and keep them contented. Thé opportunity is of- fered to teach them a good many things they need to know about moral conduct and religious faith, and there are probably a good many parents who are glad to have them iaken care of for several hours a day and have them kept off the streets. Probably the children really enjoy it better than aimless loafing. The public school courses are so full of sub- jects that it is a difficult proposition for them to provide teaching of this kind, and the different religious beliefs could not agree anyway on what should be given. S The Sunday schools attempt to give this form of training, bui they run up against many diffi- culties. Many of their teachers’ are not well trained for their task, and in many~cases do not know how to handle children and give ihem inspir- ing direction. The teaching of moral and religious truths to children ought to be done by the homes, but the majority of parents do not feel compeient to. at- tempt it nowadays. tion schools would supply many children with ideas which they are not now getting at all. THE FOUNDER OF DEMOCRACY Many honors have been paid during recent years, to Thomas Jefferson, as the author of the Declaration of Independence and perhaps the most influential of the great men who founded this government. It is well to reflect at this time, that Jefferson was also the founder of the Democratic party. Tf some of the founders of the government had had their way, the country would have been shaped on more aristocratic lines. Some of the old patriois would have liked & limited monarchy. They \felt that the people as a rule were unfitted for self government. And there were many also, who while favoring a republic, would yet have founded it on quite undemocratic principles. They would not have wanted anything like universal suffrage. Jefferson had a supreme faith in the common people, in their intelligence and sense of justice. He believed that the people would govern themselves better than anyone could do it for them. These ideas proved more influential in shaping the gov- ernment than those of the opposing pariy. To obtain the blessings which the fathers ex- pected from free government, we need to stick by the old principles of this founder of Democracy. We have to-day conditions which these old patriots would have viewed with alarm. We see new powers arising in the country, created by vast aggregations of wealth, which were never dreamed of 150 years ago. They would have seemed mcre menacing io the founders, than all the kings and tyrannies whose oppressions were feared in those days. We need to-day the spirit of Jefferson to as- sert the rights of the common people against all forms of oppression. It is the mission of the Dem- ocratic party to assert these rights and defend .hem, and thereby carry out the spirit of the great statesman who founded it. THE JAZZ GENERATION One of the speakers at the American Bar as- | sociation convention attributed the prevalence of erime to the “jazz generation.” A love for jazz music or dancing does not make anyone a criminal. These diversions express e desire for ry:hm and music that is about as fun- damenial in human nature as eating. But some pople can’t be happy unless they are jazzing around about all the time. When they are nominally working and studying, they are really planning the next jazz party. It takes money io play that game. It is commonly learned that the average position does not provide funds in saffi- cient volume. Hence there are some who resort to crime to make up the deficiency. They end up lina place where the jazz instruments cease from troubling, and the weary have more rest then they | know what to do wiih. These creatures all decorated up with warpaint re not the old time Indians setting out to scalp | their enemies, but merely the modern flappers. pe Sein teen Oh 2 Eve probably encouraged the serpent by re- marking that her husband did not understand her.
