What has become of the folks who predicted that there was to be a great spiritual uplift follow ing tho war? It! is long overdue. The slogan editor is calling for help to prove that Salem is the coming most beautiful city in the world. Salem Beautiful is the slogan subject for next Thursday.

A man (with a cat's or a tiger's eye would be an interesting hero. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury) This, the eighth of the Biblical commandments, has been calling through the ages, addressed exclusively to the moral and religious nature of men. It is not an appeal to man to familiarize himself with the civil statutes as to larceny in order that he may avoid technical violation of these statutes and so keep out of jail, as some people seem to think. Its author never intended that this command is to be given any narrow or, technical meaning such as the civil law gives to theiwoird "steal.' ' It is intended as a rule of conduct, a guide of life for every man in hia relations and dealings with others, Irrespective of the limitations of human laws or the customs or ideas of society. It is a broad command to him not to take and appropriate to his own use what is his neighbor's. 1' It is in the class ith the tenth and last of these com mandments which commands man not to covet his neigh bor's goods, Mnor anything that is his neighbor's." Indeed, the sin or crime of stealing or taking and appropriating an other's goods, is but the outward, active, visible manifesta tion of covetousness, against w,hich the tenth commandment inveighs. Too many otherwise respectable people seem totally indifferent to their violation of these two commandments, provided they escape the entanglements of the civil law and keep: out of . the hands of the sheriff. Mn our complicated modern society, too, the distinction between what is properly ours and what is our neighbor's, if often quite shadowy in many of our minds, and we are. often guilty of stealing, in the Biblical sense,1 without knowing that We have really com mitted this sin. ' V i ' r ;,. ' fThe man who by his "tricks of trade": br other dishonest means deceives and cheats his? neighbor pqt of his money or his property is just as truly a thief in the sight of his God as the man who has tfcen convicted 'of grand larceny and is fill ing a felon's 'cell; and he should be generally so regarded. While the highwayman who holds you tip at night at the point of d gun and forcibly takes your money is a manly and honest fellow in comparison with the man who skilfully goes about getting your friendship, and confidence in order that he may legally and safely cheat you out of your substance. Such a man. is the meanest kind of thief. And if there ever be divine forgiveness for such a scoundrel, it must be only after a long period of repentance and suffering. Xr Tn ntW vrnrrla Vrt amil nf iht rnmrnnnrl "TV.mi cViolf t In the opinion of Judge Landls steal"is that we: are not to take and use what is riirhtfullv hkey makes liars of all users another's without makino- adeauate return therefor. ThatlIn hls isment it breaks down is what its author doubtless intended it to mean; that is what the moral fIber' like the use of it does mean to every honest man. It is addressed to the individual conscience. It expresses the divine law or order, ind like all such needs no supplementing by the laws of men to make its observance obligatory and binding. More, its violation brings its own ultimate punishment, as all sins do! This punishment is not to be escaped by subterfuge or tech nicalities.- Everv normal. er.Ho-htened. moral and honest, man - knows this.! and he is not seekine to despoil his neighbor in Ex-Postmaster General Burfe gome sly and evasive way. - He is not consulting his lawyer son- ,a I5er,in as representative Trt firtA lliaf hntxr fay ha oan iomllv onA oofolir trn in ihtnrr f TeX3S Cotton interests. i his, brother. Instead, he consults his own conscience and he Squares his conduct by its standards in his dealings with others. He does not desire to take from another what is honestly that other's without giving just, fair and adequate compensation. Should he do so. he would feel like a thief Every truly honest man properly feels so, for in such a case he would, In the true sense of the word, be a thief. Our. business standards are generally much higher than they were fifty--even twenty-five years ago, but they are still too low. The old legal maxim, "Let the purchaser be ware," is still much too generally prevalent. For every merchant who takes advantage of the necessities or the Ignorance of his customer and compels him to pay more than ily, however, he did not immedi ately enter the powder concern. After graduating from the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology he began his career as a mining engineer in his native state. In he moved to 'Johns town, Pa., and became interested in steel and street railways. Nine years later he was elected presi dent of the powder company and served until 1915, when he sold his interests to other members of the DuPont family for a pricQ reported to have been $20,000, 000, and shortly after purchased the Morgan interests in the Equi table Life Assurance society of New York. Fenator DuPont of Delaware will be a conspicuous figure in Washington, at least physically. It is recalled that when he was an all-around ath lete at the Massachusetts Insti- ute of Technology, at the age of 19, he was six fe"et and four inch es tall and weighed '2 10 pounds But his physical prowess bus since been overshadowed by his busi ik as and political accomplish ment.

THK PAIlAIWXICATi JORDAN. By a provoking paradox the Jordan, which Sir Herbert Sam uel proposes to utilize in con nection with hydroelectric and irrigation schemes, is at once the best known river in the world and one of the least known to topographers. The upper waters were partly explored about 50 years ago by our compatriot, Macgregor, in hi Hob Hoy canoe, while more rt cently two American inquirers Prof. Libbey and Dr. Hoskins have made valuable additions to cur knowledge. But, owing to the rapid current, unnavigable .nature, frequently inaccessible banks and pestilential climate this famous river has'-apparently never yet been traversed through out its tortuous length. Yet tliis stream of khakl-col ored water, apart from tnanV ,j uuusiiav IS ri ; GETTING BEHIND THINGS IT IS the community hanks that get 'behind things, land keep them moving.

The Unitetl States National is always jwdf to render ilarion and Polk Couraiei leipim service. When General March was chie of staff he issued regulations that the Sam Browne belt, worn by officers In France, was not to be worn by them in this country Following this order there was an actual round-up in a New Yori theater of recently landed officers In all parts of the audience who were wearing the offending belt. But when General Pershing ar rived he wore it and has serenely, continued to wear it ever since. Now, as chief of staff, he has ordered that It is to be worn and the chances are that General March will comply.
