The result was a bad mess all around. Arreats followed and the city court was a place for the morbid and curious.' When the girl was ostracised be cause of publicity of her acts; when all doors were closed against her; when society with a stern hand placed carried a message on the best mount ! in the settlement. But think of how far the radio messages went ana now auickly the whole nation could he aroused with this wonderful means of conversation.

' With Elihu Root contemplating sup port of Roosevelt for the presidential nomination, it surely looks as though the extreme east is viewing things poltically as having a direct and im portant bearing on our stand toward European warring nations. It would be hard to imagine Elihu Root favoring Roosevelt for any other reason than that he believes Colonel Roosevelt is the proper man to take Jiold of the nation in a time when strained relations exiBt with foreign powers. The wisdom of Root can not be questioned in national affairs; and left the mark so plain that all could understand, there was one door that swung open it was the door of the. Salvation Army. Olive Childera, who is one of God's own good women, took In-the; little wayward, sinning youngster. ; She mothered her and cared for her, watching' her steps that no more transgressions should occur. And this was done in the face of an indignant mother who knew no grati tude. The Salvation Army paid no at tention to the parent. It had a duty ti perform to the girl and it per formed that duty with the aid of the law. . When one atops to think of the many cases cared for by the Army and this case in particular, it is hard to be lieve that heaven would be complete without such good women as Olive Childers and those who work sincerely with her, ed. As a come-backer he is the high potentate. " ' , ' Deporting the troublesome China men may not be an ethical way to rid a city of trouble, but it gets the tem porary result desired.

This time she was a good looking little girl from a neighbor ing town who stirred up the trouble.

She was doing very well financially it is claimed, although not up to the expectancy of her mother, according to the child's statement, when that forceful, yet sometimes tardy friend of fallen humanity, the luw, appeared in its majesty.

Peo pie are growing itired of this outlawry among the Chinese and they are not going to stand it much longer.

Has not been long since Paul Revere f L SYSTEM OF BANKS I (1 The use of proverbs. 7 An exhorta tion to fear God and belive his word.) 1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Isreal; 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive (the words of understand ing; 3 To receive the instruction of wis dom, justice, and judgment, and equity: 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledee and discre tion. ' 5 A wise man will hear, and will in crease learning; and a man of 'Under standing shall attain unto wise coun sels: 6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation: the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beg ining of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and in&truation. 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice thee consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with us let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk nrivilv for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them ud alive as the-grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: Id We shall find all precious sub stance . we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: . - ' 15 My son walk not ithou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and mane naste to sned blood: 17 Surely in vain the net is anrearf in the sight of any bird. 18 And they lay wait for their own blood: they lurk privily for their own lives, , 19 So are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain; which taketh away uie me oi tne owners thereof.
