I ask him questions, too, although He often anewers, “I don’t know.” And so I asked the other day About the wires along our way. They stretched above us, high and tight. From pole to pole, clear out of sight. Hs told me that those wires wsre meant To carry messages we sent By telephone and telegraph All round the world. I had to laugh. I seemed to see them creeping past. Up on the wires, all going fast; And some had legs, and some had wings— Those messages were funny thingsl Now when I’m left alone at night. Tucked In my bed without a light, I think about those wires out there And all the messages they bear. I do not look for I might see A message never meant for me, 'lut as I lie awake and hark, hear them singing In the dark. -Laura Lee Randall, In St. Nicholas Soft on the Grafters. From the New Republic. The most shocking aspect of the whole shocking business Is the atti tude displayed toward the revela tions by a large part of the press. All their Indignation is saved for the mistakes and frailties of ths Investi gators; they have none to waste on dishonest officials and their boot legging, drug-smuggling, bribing al lies. If you were to read only the editorial pages of most of the great conservative dallies In our larger cities (with a few honorable excep tions such as the Boston Transcript) you would get an impression that the members of the Senate committees were hysterical fools and that the | persons they are investigating have { done nothing which ought not to be condoned, with a wink, a^-ft&rmless peccadilloes by men of the world. Such an attitude on the part of al leged leaders of public opinion might well cause the henest citizen to de spair. A PURIFYING POWER Whatsoever things are pure.—Phil, 4:8. Where good men are in busb»ess, lying and cheating and gambling should be more difficult, truth and candor and fair dealings should be easier and more popular, Just beer.'fse of tihelr presence. Where good men are in soclrty, grossness of thought and speech ought to stand rebuked, high ideals and courtliness and chivalrous ac tions and "the desire of fame and all that makes a man,” ought to seem at once more desirable and more at tainable to every one who comes into contact with them. There have been men of this qual ity In the world. It Is recorded of Bernardino of Siena that when ihe came Into the room, his gentleness and purity were so evident that all that was base and •illy In the talk of his companions was abashed and fell Into silence. Artists like Tra Angelica hare made their pictures like prayers. Warriors like the Chevalier Bay ard and Sir Philip Sidney and Henry Havelock and Chinese Gordon have dwelt amid camps and conflicts as Knights of the Holy Ghost. Philosophers like John Locke and George Berkeley, men of science like Newton and Herschel, poets like Wadsworth and Tennyson and Browning, have taught virtue by their lives as well as wisdom by their works. Humanitarians like Howard and Wilberforce and Ralkes and Charles Brace have given themselves to nob<e causes. Every man who will has It In his power to make 'his life count for something positive in the redemp tion of society. The great bells In historic Notre Dame de Paris, which once were pulled by Quasimodo, the hero of Victor Hugo’s novel. “Notre Dame de Paris,” are now rung by electricity. The small control levers are operated by the hand of a woman, Mme. Herbet. SPREADING THE LIGHT Unto all the nations.—Luke 24:47. More light Is what the world wants. And do you think tthat it will make less light to kindle a greater fire? Do you suppose that one more Christian In China will make one less Christian In America? Do you imagine tthat one less ef fort to preach the gospel In Africa will mean one more effort to preach the gospel In America? Do you suppose that one dollar that Is given for foreign missions Will be taken from home missions? I tell you, no! It will be taken from self-indul bence, from avarice from worldly luxury. Peter is not robbed when Paul is supported. Demas, the worldling Simon Ma gus, the astrologer, and Demetrius, the idol-maker, are tih* only ones that suffer. Peter and Paul grew strong to gether, and the farther the one goes abroad, the better the other works at home. In 1812 a man in the senate of Massachusetts objected to the in corporation of the American Board of Foreign Missions on the ground that “the country ihad no religion to rpare. If that objection lead prevailed 1 believe by this time the country would have had no religion to keep. New citizens for Canada from the middle western states of the United States should be numerous if the ex ample of the Emerson club of White water. Wis. ,1s freely followed. A pro gram of the winter's operations receiv ed by the chief librarian of the Tor onto Public Library, George H. Locke, shows a long series of papers on the history and condition of Canada. Getting the idea from seeing a vaud eville performer swallow swords, Jacob Ztenke, of Chicago, bought ten butcher knives and essayed to swallow them one by one. One was enough. It stuck. •'I’ll bet there's a trick to it,” Zlenke wrote on a pad for ona of the hospital nursas. Fanaticism Can Kill Literature Without Benefit to Human Morals From the Cedar Rapids Republican. In the state jf New York there is much indignation because of the introduction in the state legislature at Albany of the “clean books ’ bill which is sponsored by a powerful lobby but opposed by publishers and by literary folk in general. Augustus Thomas declared that the “clean book” bill is an insidious attempt to break down the bill of rights.” He men tioned the scene, many years ago, in “The Wizard of Oz,” when there was a scarecrow and a little girl Dorothy from Kansas. Shfr expressed a desire to have the scarecrow come to life. So it was. brought to life, but it had no brains at all. Then the scarecrow’s head was cut off, a bit of sawdust removed and three or four spoonfuls of brains poured in. . -inen tne scarecrow walked down to the front of the stage and instantly launched into a speech on reform. Those who are in favor of the clean book bill are like that scarecrow, according to Thomas. ^ne men sP°he in favor tff the bill declared that the newspapers are against it, because they derive a revenue from the advertisements of books. That was the ignorant accusation of a mean minded man. The newspapers are against such a bill because it would be impossible to select a committee whch could so effectually bar bad books as does the great American public. Granted that there are some vile books today, they are not nearly so numerous an they were a hundred years ago. And who is to judge when a book is bad. At a recent meet ing in New York city, the chairman asked an audience of 5,000 if any one present had been harmed by a so-called dirty book. Not a hand was raised. Not so very long ago a book was publshed by B. W. Huebsch «f New York, written by Roger Sergei and entitled “Arlie Gel ston. It was a book which presented life on the Iowa prairies^ and small towns in the raw. Several reviewers criticised it severe ly. But 100 copies of the book were sent to discerning persons alt over the United States with the request that they read the book critically and then write a letter giving their opinions of it. These letters have now been printed and practically all of them are in favor of the book. One of the most appreciative let ters is from Frank Luther Mott, a professor at the state univers ity and a critic in whose judgment overy book lover has confidence^ The conclusion of the whole matter is that the public is the best critic. No committee can do the work properly. ON CANDIDATES Jay E. House. A man really becomes a candi date for public office three or four ysars prior to the date of the elec tion In which he expects to par ticipate. Sometimes it is longer than that. In any event., and us ually under the pledge of secrecy, the intervening time is spent in lining up influential supporters who are prominent in politics and finance. When he has thus lined up what seems to be sufficient support to give him a chance at the nomination—or some claim to the postoffice in his home town— one of his supporters writes & let ter to the paper or gives out an Interview demanding that the po tential candidate run for the office under consideration. The potential candidate, being interviewed, pro fesses to be greatly surprised and says he has never given the mat ter any consideration, but if his friends really want him to run he'll make the sacrifice. It is also considered good form and effec tive campaigning for the potential candidate to Bay he must first consult his wife about It. These details having been attended to, and his supporters having been advised that the time is ripe, an invitation to run for the office in question is sent to him. The po tential candidate then gulps once or twice—it is considered good form for him to be overcome by his emotions—and says he’ll ac cede to the public demand. They Need to Study English. Henry A. Perkins, in the North American Review. One of the most serious needs of the modern type of American student is a knowledge of English. I do not refer to the needs of foreign born Students, or even of those with for eign born parents, but to the per fectly good Americans who come from homes where books are un known. Not only are they unable to speak or write their own language correctly, but they do not under stand it when it is spoken with pre cision, and are quite Incapable of reading a page of any but the easiest kind of fiction. - It is positively cruel to put a serious work into their hands and expect them to understand it and recite upon it without further assist ance, while the professor who likes to use what his class would call high brow1 language in his lectures, with out resorting to colloquialisms and simplified paraphrases, finds that he is talking over their heads. They actually do not understand what he Is saying. wnai is me remeuy; v/uviousiy English, and plenty of it, In the form •f grammar, themes, literature and public speaking, and, second only In Importance, enough of those lang uages from which English Is de rived to develop a knowledge of words and expression that can only be gained by an understanding of Latin and French, with German and the rudiments of Greek added if pos sible. The necessity of some know ledge of Latin as a foundation for all serious reading or writing seems to me so Important that I wish It might be required of every college student before he could take a degree In any department whatever from bachelor of arts to bachelor of fin ance, If such a degree should ever exist. A Small Job. From the Troy Daily Herald. To keep the neighbors from worry ing It has been suggested that the words "Paid for" be painted on the spare tires of all motor cars not mortgaged. Creole Proverbs. From the Boston Transcript. The tongue has no bones. Chickens don’t boast what good soup they make. He who takes a partner takes a master. When your hen Is laying don’t put her in the pot. He went to school a kid and came back a sheep. Behind the dog’s back it is dog, but before him It Is "Mr. Dog.” If your petticoats fit you well, don’t try to put on your husband's breeches. Why Polygamy In France? From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat.. There la considerable agitation in* France for regulated polygamous! marriages. Representatives of the most experienced nation In that mat ter, the Turks, are advising it. The* plea is that France is a dying nation unless her birth rate can be increas ed. Why? Solely because, In a world within the borderland of savagery, the nation which has not enough soldiers to meet other nations on the field of battle, is in constant peril of over throw. The specter of a militant and growing Germany, a Germanjr now fired with hatred of the French* and a desire for revenge greater than ever before, is a terrifying vis ion in the minds of French states men and all intelligent French people.. So French statesmen want more- * babies—boy babies, to serve as “can non fodder,” when the Inevitable war with Germany breaks out again. The birth rate for a long time has been on a much lower percentage thart that of Germany and of all other European nations. In addition to this fact, there are now 2,000.000 young women who have no prospect or marriage on the monogamous plan, and this is still further reducing the birth rate to a perilous smallness when gauged by the needs of a mili tarily organized world. And yet, were It not for the shadow of war and the need of soldiers, France might well be congratulated upon her slow Increase in population. A low birth rate should mean less unemployment, less poverty, less ig norance, less crime and misery, a. higher average of intellectuality and education, greater appreciation of the spiritual side of life, more contribu tions to science, art, music and liter ature, and higher average of happi ness. In other words, save for the needs of war, growing out of the ceaseless struggle by overpopulated nations for a “place in the sun,” a low birth rate should be a blessing instead of a peril to any people. When we stop breeding children for war and devote ourselves solely to the arts of peace, we shall turn our attention from the quantity of our babies to their quality, and that na tion will become greatest which de velops to their highest capabilities each rising generation. PARABLES AND PICTURE8 With many such parables spake her the word unto them.—Mark 4:33. Christ was not fond of definitions. He was more poet thau loglclan. Chrlst taught by parables and pic tures. H« came Into the world to be the Saviour of tjien. What that meant in all its fulness could not be put into any doctrine, any theory, any definition. So Christ looked around him irt the wor'd of life, and whatever he saw that was beautiful and useful and precious he claimed and used as a picture of himself. “You do not know," he said to« men, "you do not know what my coming to you really means. “You think that I have come mere ly to teach you something, or per haps to do something for you. “No! "1 have come to be something im your life. "All that is best and most needful and most glorious is but a type and symbol of what I am. “I am the bread of heaven. “I am the water of life. “I am the light of the world. “I am the true vine. "I am the good shepherd. “1 am the lamb of God. “I am the way, the truth, and th life.” Complete Reform. From The Los Angeles Times. The women had finished the thl; rubber, peace had been apparently re stored. and they were killing time whilo refreshments were being brought in. At sueh times women are likely to turn to the subjects of husbands, and grow personal. “Well," saJd Mrs. DePrymme. “It pays to marry a man to reform him. Why. when DePrymme was courting nw he let it out that he was an Infidel. He holdlv told me one day that he didn't be lieve in hell. That was twenty years ago. and—“ “i’ll bet." said Mrs. Cutter!*}' sv e« t lv, "he believes in It bow!"
