Copeland to the Be Scouts of New York state. voters think that if a man is too lazy to care for his own health, he will be too lazy to care for the public business. So, if you would roll up a big vote, keep your waist-line down.” Physiological sense but political bunk, boys. History dis- proves it from start to finish. If it were or had been true, what would have become of Roosevelt, Taft, McKinley, Harrison, Cleveland, Garfield, Arthur, Grant, Buchanan, Van Buren, Fillmore and others who filled the presidential place and who were prone to disreghrd their waist-lines in a manner that often excited comic commen It is not of record that any of them lost votes or political suc- ess because of excessive midriff measurements. Tt is all right, boys, to listen to Doc. when he talks of health, but never mind his political tips. Keep your waist- bands down, as a general health proposition. If you are going into politics, however, the size of your hatband will be of importance to you. Faith That’s Alive ‘ ‘AITH,” says a distinguished Eastern writer, “is the haven of those who abandon the mental struggle, ' the yearning for knowledge, the strain of thinking about Problems which, as yet, cannot be solved.” To view faith as an old hulk rotting in a haven, await- ing what wind, water, barnacles and such will do, indicates the philosopher's arrival at a state when he might logically stop up all the crevices in windows and doors, and turn on the gas. 1) Faith is a positive force. It promotes the mental strug- "gle and the yearning for knowledge and it grows upon _ the seemingly impossible solution of problems. _ The more we mentally struggle and yearn for knowl- ‘edge, the more virile our faith that the Great Scheme of the Creator is all good, whether the basis of our thinking lies in the beginnings with Adam or in the spontaneous generation of the evolutionists. Maybe we cannot know all, but there is still much for us to know, and every little ’ bit of acquired knowledge feeds faith. The mind that con- ’ geives of faith only as a haven against yearning for more _ and more knowledge and, hence, more and more faith, ‘may be comfortable. So are the dead. Loaded Dice SIBLE government’s neat old interstate agent, the & interstate commerce commission, refuses to grant the grain farmers any reduction in freight rates, on the id that reduction would interfere with fair rates to e railroads, ilroads vs. People. Railroads win, Verdict for. the "Wall st. “holders” of the railroads. And if ever there ‘were a mighty demonstration of flimflam, it is in these Western railroads. The people gave unlimited rights, ‘millions of acres and hundreds of millions of dollars to aid ‘tm the »uilding of many of these railroads. There were ‘Millions of private graft raked off in their building, some of them were ruined by high paid inefficient manage- ment, others:were wrecked in Wall st. gambling. There’s nothing particularly new in this interstate com- commission decree. Take any important issue in the “ease of Property vs. People, and you see Peopie glooming out of court with a bill for costs to pay, and nothing else. | If the commission, or some other semi-judicial institution, ‘ ’t decide for invisible government and its cabal of less profit-hunters, there’s always the old reliable supreme court, for Property 5 to 4, or something equally Representatives. And he goes on: “Logical The Endo Defense RODUCING the endocrinologist. The ordinary alienist, the paronoiaist, the temporary : ationist and such will be among the also-rans, while the endocrinologist will carry the handicap in the Leopold- oeb murder case. The endocrinologist is a professional investigator of profound believer in glands. You are a giant or a arf, fat or lean, active or lazy, moral or immoral, ac- cording to your glands and the way they function. One of your glands may be so abnormally developed and function so strenuously as to virtually relieve you of ‘responsibility for will-power and, hence, make you un- “accountable for your acts. It is admitted that the young Chicago murderers are “above the average of intelligence of youths of their age; it they had good homes, and good citizens as parents; that they had plenty of money; that they had not the ang enmity toward the boy, Franks, whom they slew cold blood. All the ordinary motives for crime were absent. “Thrill” - was their object, and glands are the seat of thrills. In other words, endocrinology will be called in to diagnose the boys as diseased, not criminal. It seems to be a new line of defense for the “hanging” of juries, even if not of murderers. rT. bel LETTER, Vv RIDGE PANT THE HORSE OF YESTERDAY (Apologies to Justin McCarthy) I wonder in what Isle of bliss Black Beauty wanders to and fro; where horses modern cities miss are living Mves they used to know.
