McLaughlin of California, speaking on Wednesday evening, September 28, at the reception held by the national convention of American War Mothers at the Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento, compared the sacrifices of mothers during times of war to the sacrifice Abraham was called upon to make of Isaac in the Id Bible story. The mother, said the Judge, takes her son tor the mound, and there offers him on the altar of her ideals for her nation, for the world. As reported by the Sacramento Union, he contined: :?' ''Sometimes the reprieve eoraes and the son is returned to his mother's arms. But often the sacrifice must be carried to the bitter culmination, ? and the mother's arms must remain empty and her heart full of sorrow and loneliness. Her tears are mingled with the blood of every battlefield. Hut she must not feel that she has suffered in vain, for with such ideals as the Americans held in, the recent war, not on soldier's mother ; can ever be forgotten. ". . i "His) jspirit, ,hla . splendid standard of Americanism, will never die, and its influence will be felt as long as the world exists. .All we asked in the recent war. was lasting peace for all the world. " The peoples of all the wOrld looked to America then, and they are looking hither now. However, this message of America came too soon for many of the nations, bound as they were by ancient jealousies and intrigues. They could not understand the unselfishness of America's attitude. 1 1 "But the mothers of the world did hear and did understand. And they, will never forget. Some day the concerted effort of the mothers of all the world will, force men to settle, their differences as civilized men should, without resort to bloody violence, and torture of mother hearts. i "'However, we must not go too fast. We cannot lay our selves open when .others are preparing for strife. ; V Mothers must think, not alone of their own boys and the glorious deeds they have done, but of the boys and girls who are motential men and women of tomorrow. We must watch heir schools: their amusements, everything that will mould their characters, and see to it that the idea of peace is stressed rather than the idea of -strife, conquest and bloodshed. This is the only way for the ideal world peace to be lastingly impres sed upon the consciences "of mankind, and herein lies the duty if all mothers." 1 f Of course, every nation will ex xt a square deal at the disarma ment conference roundtable. i Withlthe advent of the auto mobile age children no longer play horse.

FUTURE DATES EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE ct:xsor it. The day of the dime novel is a thing of i the past. There is no turtner need for the .boy to crawl up in the loft of the barn or the girl to burn the midnight oil In order to satisfy a craving for the sensational. Daring escapes from the hand of the law, devilish mur ders, unspeakable crimes and scandal saturated with the, al luring drug of mystery vie with each other and are within the easy reach of every boy and girl and that at the most impression able age. Just when life is un folding its mysteries, just when ! the soul is reaching out to grasp the wonders of the world they are entering they have thrust rron them minute details breath- ng the orig n and birth of the vilest crimes. "Yellow" News. I speak of the press. A large majority of our daily newspapers are in newspaperdom what thv yellow-backed dime novel Is tc literature. Tho contamination of the sewage which is now flowing through the presn is just as surely breeding d sease and death to the morals of the American youth to day as the most dreaded germ inoculated into the body when the system is in a receptive condition. When I p'clc up a daily news paper and have flaunted before my eyes as the most deserving of special headlines, scandal, crimt and filth, and am forced to hunt in the corners and turn -to the1 inside pages to find that which U worthwhile news and of vital Im portance to the velfare of the In dividual and community I confess it is with a feeling of d'sgust. 1 elieve that feeling is shared by thousands of others. Publicity for Crime. It is doubtful if Sodom or Go morrah could have rivalled the present day possibilities o? the press along this line, if one is to udge by the headlines and arti cles printed. Does tae average reader require of the press thai it handle without gloves criminal filth and mold it into lengthy de ceptions for our perusal? I can not think it. Nor are the boy and g'rl the only ones demoralized by the yel low sheet. Those, already with a criminal "bent gloat, speculate and figure where weak points lie in these detailed descriptions of crime, tell themselves they could "get away with it and fre quently fdd to the crJmrnai rec ords of the state. It has been re- reatedly proven a psychological fact that for every outstand'ng crime, no matter how heinous. heralded broadcast over the coun try, corresponding crimes spring up in different sections, the Im pressions for which can be direct ly traced to such press accounts he best of us cannot escape the damning influence. The news paper is a homei nstltut'on. We want it. Children in the best cared for homes are quoting to their parents the number of "hor rible" stories on, the front pages of our dailies. During the war. when our civilization was at stake, the press was censored. The morals of our land are at stake. CENSOR IT AGAIN! Ora F. Mclntyre. MYSELF I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as day go by, Always to look myself straight in the eve.

A yachtsman who has been cru sing in Norwegian waters told the correspondent that tha pree of a drink has doubled or trebled in Norway, where prohibiiton rules. Just outside the three-mil"? lim it are anchored ships, mostly Dan- sh and German, but also a few British, with cargoes of prohibit- sd drinks and around every one ot these ships are dozens of small Norwegian boats waiting their turn to get part of the costly car go. To assist Norway in enforcing her prohibition law, Denmark has prohibited the export and re-ex port of spirits. This merely means that the smugglers go to jcmian and British ports to buy vhiskey and gin and return once "more to their trading stations just outside Norwegian territory.

Hykes whose recent death in Shanghai brought to a close near ly a half century of service as a missionary in the China field is burled in Pahsienjao cemetery here near the scene of the greater part of his labors. Doctor Hykes who was born at Shippensburg, Pa., on August 9, 1852, was ad mitted to the Central New York conference of the Methodist Epis copal church in 1873 and was then appointed to a mission in China, the youngest man ever placed in the foreign mission field by the Methodist Episcopal church. He carried on evangelistic work in various parts of China until 1893 when he became represen tative of the American Bible so- Eyesight Controls Your Happiness Vha.t a small thing, yet what a lot of worry and trouble weak -and defective eyes of ten cause!
