' BY JUNIUS No Opinion On Morals The clergyman who said for publication some weeks njfo that American trills' morality was at its lowest ell, meaning that the girls are so had they cannot he worse, has been compelled to revise his opinion. JtcUirninjr from i( brief sojourn in Europe )0 now says Kuropean Kills are worse than Anierican. From which it is 'plain be that in neither instance did he know what he was talking about. He et.i an inkling of something uiid jumps to wholly unwarranted conclusions. It's the way with a great many who have managed somehow to acquire a certain prominence and set themselves up as founts of knowledge and law givers. ',pn li. Lindsey of Denver is another of the type. . Census bureau data recently gathered has disclosed the rale of progressive increase of divorces in the United States. One divorce to 7.2 marriages is said to le indicated. Denver claims the record of one divorce to 2.f maniages. Lindsey says fhat does not half tell the story. He adds "separations." to divorces! and finds that together they equal the number of marriages.! Which would mean that theie is no such thing as a married couple living together. Hut he finds very many unmarried cou ples living together in Denver and concludes "they are gradually creating a new standard of relationship." His profoundly philo sophical mind works this way: "1 cannot say it is right. What is right imd what is wrong must, in large measure, be left to time." The vice of this position is its cowardice. A thing cannot be right if 'it is wrong. One who presumes to S)eak for public enlightenment is not privileged to take a neutral position with respect to n moral question. Social standards are changing in niHiiv nartieulars. whether for uood or ill. That which is com monly regarded inproper today may be viewed differently later, j Altered conditions make for altered manners. Hut to avoid a plunge into chaos it is essential that opinions be sharply defined that the needed influence give direction to the course of models. The man who has no opinion on the merits of the condition Lindsey reports should remain silent. i .An Oklahoma man wart Kli'ii a iIiim or salH for Inst iiniiior'. Il . worked.

Advertisements will soon he'cinphuHizing1 this counsel from every pajro, billboard and win . dow. In the meantime stores, larjre and small, are making com plete showings of Christmas goods at an unusually early date; it is to their interest, also, to spread the holiday trade over a period of weeks. Many look upon selection of Christmas gifts as n disagreeable task to be delayed as long as possible. Others are merely care less. Some, .unsystematic, are daily reminded of some friend whose remembrance has hot been obtained. These are the vari ous procrastinalors who elbow and stampede each other, break down the display tables and overwhelm the clerks in Christmas week. Yet Christmas inlying, properly done, may well be a great pleasure. Hut to be done properly requires foresight, careful and systematic planning and prompt action. Call a family council this evening, make out a list of those to be remembered and dt-cide what shall be sent to each. Then do your buying at the earliest possible moment. Your shopping will be pleasant and Christmas wool? will then find you care-free, with a capacity for real enjoyment of the Yuletide, ' If all would co-operate, the holiday time could be made happy for the shopgirl, for Jtho delivery boys, for the postman. Hut they are iolped by the early shopper hardly more than the early shopper helps himself. " f J f ! With a Mexican candidate for the presidency accused of stealing millions of pesos, it appears that the campaign is pro gressing along normal lines. Alniut the worst punishment that could be inflicted upon the gabby pii-sou would be to make him eat his words. The national horseshoe pitching championship has been settled. Now we can turn to the prospects in football. The only kind of endurance that counts is the kind that fin ishes the race. A man may build a lepulaliou by talking, but he can not con stiuct character that wnv. The laud acquired nowadays by an empire always seems to in clude some new grounds for suspicion. i. nitANDi:, MAUKKTS.. 'J'ODAV Top Trice Markets. J in ru-h eKffs .If e'-nl.t dozen.

Either way puts the scale of profits out of balance and leaves the farmer to face the possibilities of loss on maybe his one and only class of production. Similarly, milk products are more profitable than producing cattle for slaughter, for it is said the out put of dairy products in one year is greater in dol lars and cents that the total slaughtered worth of all the cattle in the country.
