THE SEATTLE STAR—-SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1919. On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise THE MORBID CONSCIENCE BY DK.

Common Sense is an essential ingredient to every virtue. Every good impulse can | be carried to excess and become a nuisance. Somebody said: “Our Vices are our Virtues carried to extremes.” So Conscience can become diseased. Some of the most fearful crimes in history were caused by Conscience unregulated by Com- mon Sense. e heretic-burners were conscientious, A Virtue can easily develop into a septic Egotism. Thus Modesty can become aby You'RE TAXED! is THOSE THINGS COME UNDER THE HEAD OF Luxurious , UNDER WEAR obsessed by the idea that she ought to/| confess to the people from whom she stole. The total value of her theft could not have been more than 50 cents. She has confessed to her family, and sworn that she has never | stolen since, and would never steal again. We advised her to keep still about it, as it | was so long ago and the amount was so small. She is a fine high-minded girl, of good family, and we feel that no good could come from a public confession now.

The girl is right. She is to be com- mended, not blamed. Some people are wor- ried over any wrong they have done, no matter how insignificant or remote. Others do not care. The first class are of the better stuff. Or you might classify thus: Some are troubled over their wrongdoings, and some are troubled only over being found out.
