It is surprising that somebody
hasn’t started the story that the
Bull Moose party is the cause of
the foot and mouth disease.
If this horrible war news is get
ting on your nerves, and you wish
to read something less exciting, we
suggest a lodge paper. The aver

sleepy during an earthquake.
The people of Oregon, by a very,
very small majority, have turned
down capital punishment for capi
tal criminals. As women vote in
Oregon it is quite likely that they
helped abolish the custom of legal
murder. A number of states have
done away with capital punish
ment, but crime has not been re
duced to any appreciable extent.
It is a question that agitates com
munities from time to time and
probably will continue to do so for
many years to come.
Samuel G. Blythe, one of our
many American writers in Europe,
sends one thought home with a thud
when he says that, after looking
over European battle-fields he is
more firmly impressed than ever
that the sight of blood day after
day makes men careless; that the
sight of one man torn by shot and'
shell turns the beholder sick, butj
the sight of tens of thousands of
maimed, bleeding and dismembered
men merely dulls the conscious
ness and makes war merriful, if
there is any mercy in mortal com
bat. _
Why should nations teach the
individual to be courteous, polite
and kind toward other individuals
when as a nation, those splendid
qualities of sentiment are forgotten
during such parlous times as
Europe is now seeing. Nations
teach their impressionable young
that hypocricy is an effense against
the sensibilities and then subvert
to their own uses, through devious
mazes of diplomacy, the very evils
they deplore , in times of peace.
When history is written—-after dis
armament has become a fact and
not a fiction—our future genera
tions of young people will doubt
less wonder what manner of men
it was who preached one gospel
and practiced another.
Liquor will never be abolished
entirely. Those who dream of an
absolutely dry nation will probably
be disappointed. But liquor
drinking as an amusement, the sa
loon as a club room, booze as a
promoter of good feeling those
qualities of our citizenship and our
civilization will pass away; in fact
they are already passing. Men
may spend their time, energies and
money trying to stem the tide, but
all in vain. Public sentiment, the
most powerful force in the world,
is doing more than anything else to
persuade men who drink that they
are wasting their time and piling up
a debt that their fellows must pay.
The manufacturers know it, the
retailers will admit if they are
pressed for an opinion, and the
country at large realizes that liquor
drinking as has existed for a cen
tury in this nation, is undergoing a
change. _

DOROTHY TO RESCUE
BY JANE HATHAWAY.
Jackson cranked his new machine
and then jumped in.
"Pretty nice little machine, isn't
It?” he exclaimed, proudly. "Isn’t she
smooth, though! Notice that bump—
didn’t she take it like a thorough
bred? That’s those springs I told you
about! This is something like! It
pays to get a machine worth while
when you are getting one. Then
you're satisfied!” Then he slid down,
until the back of his head rested*
against the back of the seat, and lis
tend joyously to the continuous
even throb of the engine.
“Hi, there!” exclaimed a voice.
Jackson lifted his eyes to the
speedometer, but finding that it
showed only about fifteen miles, re
sumed his dreamy contemplation.
The voice sounded as if it were ad
dressing him authoritatively, but he
must have been mistaken.
"HI, there!” exclaimed the voice,
somewhat closer than before, and a
grim faced policeman rode alongside
the machine on a motorcycle.
"Can’t you hear when you’re spok
en to?” demanded the officer.
“What’s the matter?” Jackson in
quired gruffly, while he grasped the
wheel more tightly, to keep from
showing nervousness.
The officer’s eye took in the details
of the new car. Then he produced a
pencil and notebook.
"Name and address?” asked the of
ficer. significantly.
Jackson gave the desired informa
tion.
"You’ll have to come along with me
to the station,” the officer remarked.
“Where's your wheel tax tag?"
Jackson gasped. Sure enough, the
wheel tax had quite escaped him in
the maze of the various taxes and in
surance policies that had been neces
sary. So he meekly followed the po
liceman’s motorcycle.
If Jackson’s heart was heavy, it was
not so with his little daughter, Doro
thy, who was his companion in the
Stepped on the Running Board.

“Are we arrested?” she inquired ex
citedly.
"Uhuh!” grunted Jackson.
“And he’s taking us to the police
station!” Dorothy’s voice was fairly
a squeal of ecstasy.
“Sit down and keep still!” com
manded .Jackson.
Dorothy subsided, but only for a
minute. She spied a special chum in
i machine that was passing. She
couldn’t resist giving expression to
her satisfaction.
"We’ve been arrested!” she shout
ed, triumphantly. “We’re going to the
station now!” and she waved a
happy farewell to the friend, whose
father grinned joyously at Jackson.
“Dorothy!” exclaimed her father,
“will you keep still and not ruin my
Imputation! Great Scott! You'd brag
if I were going to be hanged!”
They were soon on their way back
from the station, and Jackson was
buried in thought of the fine that he
would have to pay and the necessity
jf getting his tag.
“It wasn't very nice,” Dorothy medi
:ated aloud. “1 thought—”
“Dorothy!” Jackson’s tone was
forceful. In his anger he failed to
note the* whistle that warned him to
stop at the street crossing, and he
needlessly sailed past the outstretched
hr.nd of the officer. But a shout halt
ed him.
As the policeman stepped on the
running board of the machine to make
bis few remarks, Dorothy leaned for
ward impressively.
“We’ve just been arrested,” she ex
plained in clear tones, “and if you
please, we ought to be home by now!”
Then she smiled engagingly. “It made
o ipa so cross,” she added.
“Oh!” the policeman lifted his hat
‘It’ll be all right this time.” he said,
‘but don't let it happen again!”
Dorothy sighed in relief. “If only
,'d known just what an uninteresting
hing getting arrested was I’d have

MEETING THE FAMILY
By GRACE REEVES.
When Sam went to his first danc<
and took a girl all the members c
Sam's family were interested.
Sam’s father joked about it, and his
sister openly expressed her curiosity
as to his choice. Hut Sam’s mother
was seriously disquieted. Sixteen was
altogether too young for any boy to
run around with a girl, she said, and
she didn’t know what the girl’s mother
could be thinking of to let her go. It
just went to show what kind of family
she was from. Sam’s mother did hope
that Sam wouldn’t fall in love and
think of marriage before ’ e had start
ed to college.
But Sam was not to be daunted. He
not only took the girl to the dance,
but he was so pleased with the adven
ture that he took her to several other
dances in succession.
Sam’s father continued to make
jokes about it, but when Sam an
nounced that he had asked the girl to
come to tea Sunday evening his father
broke an engagement that he might
be there to take observations. Sam’s
mother was shocked.
Come to call on you: fine ex
claimed, in amazement. “Why, Sam.
who ever heard of such a thing*
What kind of bringing up has that
girl had? Why, when I was a girl—”
"Now, mother," remonstrated Sam.
"things have changed considerably
rince you were a girl. The fellows
have begun to realize that it isn't all
up to the girls—they've learned that
they can have the girls to tea occa
sionally and change the program to
good advantage all around and not
sponge on the girls all the time. If
you don’t want to get tea ready, just
clear out and we’ll have a perfectly
good time getting it ourselves. For
I’ve invited Grace and she’s coming.''
When Sam’s mother first heard of
Sam's first dance, she had been
shocked that Sam called the girl “Miss
Brice.” Tvo .guch children! Hut now
she was doubly shocked that in such
a short time Sam had begun to call
her “Grace,” even In speaking of her!
So when Sam walked in Sunday aft
ernoon with Grace, Sam's mother
greeted her coolly. Sam’s father shook
hands and laughed foolishly, as Sam
thought, over the meeting. His sister
giggled aloud at his introduction of
her as his sister Bessie. It was her
first experience of social forms with
him. Sam frowned witheringly at the
entire family, and led his guest into
the parlor and seated her at the piano.
Grace struck a few notes, and the
family moved nearer to get a better
view of her and incidentally to over
hear any remarks that might be inter
esting. Sam watched them out of
the corner of his eye and spoke low.
Finally his mother strolled up and
sat down near the piano. “Do you
play ‘The Maiden’s Prayer’?” she
asked with precision.
The guest paused meditatively.
"You don't mean the one that begins
'Do you get me, maid?’ do you?” she
asked. “I don’t know all the latest
ones,” she apologized.
Sam’s mother gasped. Sam grew
crimson. "It's something prehistoric,”
ho murmured to Grace. “Play that
rag again."
‘‘Perhaps you know "The Mill,'
then?” continued Sam's mother, (irm
ly, quite convinced that she didn’t.
‘‘No, I don’t know that one, either,”
replied the girl. “I did know some
things from ‘The Red Mill’ several
years ago, but I’ve forgotten them.”
She smiled In a friendly way, but she
met no answering smile.
‘‘You’re at high school, aren't you?”
Inquired the questioner. ‘T suppose
you’re taking up domestic economy?"
“Oh. no,” Grace laughed. “I’m tak
ing French and history and art—just
three studies, you know. One can’t
really take more if one goes in for
any sort of a good time!”
“Yes?” said Sam's mother, slowly,
darting an I-told-you-so glance at her
husband, who had come in with Sam’s
sister to hear the fun. “I see. I
thought as Sam said that you and ho
would cook supper If I had another
engagement, perhaps you knew some
thing about cooking—that perhaps you
studied it.”
Grace laughed. “Goodness, no. He’s
been telling me what a good cook you
are, and I'm planning on it,” she said.
Sam arose, flustered. “I—I forgot
something,” he stammered. “Come on
out with me, Grace!” He handed her
hat and coat to her.
It was night when Sam returned
home.
“Where’s Grace?” Inquired three
curious voices at once.
“Aw, how do I know?” replied Sam,
as he picked up a newspaper. HiB
mother's smile ceased, as he contin
ued, “But, say, you ought to see the
swell girl I'm going to take to the
Alpha Pi!”
