WHAT ABOUT A SHIPPINa POLICY?
ous under the regime of the
church. The Mormon church is
the most constructive cburh in
the country. ' One ' cannot Visit
Utah without feeling the strength
of. the organisation. , The people
believe In communities.; they work
hard, they mske gardens " out of
desert lands, and they 'obey the
law. .; . .-. .- ; .-!-( ", .i:i - ?
There may be , good Teason for
splitting the church but we have
ah Idea that if there is It Is politi
cal and not religions. - These peol
ple stand together but by doing so
they prosper. J When each man
in a community is working In har
mony with every other man It is
bound to mean' better results. ,

Adele Garrison's New Phase of
REVELATIONS OR A WIFE
THE WORLD'S NEED
f
President Coolidge isy at the yery threshold of his admin
istration, faced with the need of solving the shipping problem
And it is a,, tough problem. i i ,
The immediate matter; before him is an expediency plan
of direct government operation that will bridge, things; over
imtil Congress effectively legislates, f Political conditions are
unlikely to permit, in the next couple of years, of the adoption
of an effective, permanent shipping pplicyv j : iniK-' :.
So" President Coolidge, , who at first balked at government
operation, preferring private operation; as everybody does, has
come to seethe manifold difficulties that present themselves,
even in giving his approval to an expediency policy.

him that the lo suDsidianes reauy maae iw private operation
But now that Mr.'.Coolidge seems to have mellowed some
what on direct. government operation, the members of the Ship
ping Board are. more free to, say that the 18 subsidiaries plan
is direet' government' operation . , ? ' !
But three of the seven members of the Shipping Board say
this plan is not constitutional, and the Attorney General is con
sidering that question. If he decides 'that the 18 subsidiaries
plan is constitutional, it looks as if, then, President Coolidge

If President Coolidge wishes to grasp the nettle firmly of
this' shipping problem he will revive either the' ship subsidy is

iraccessful consummation, and lost ? . ; ( Cv v '

traditional policy of our fathers in. the early daya of our coun

And there aresumerous arguments in its favor, over any

- Judge Taft declares that doubts
about orthodoxy ought not to in
fluence the world in Its religlo.ua
trend. By this he means that re
ligion is such an asset that It
ought to be held to even it all of
it is not relished by mortal man.
Certain It is that the world Is kept
in balance by religion. Without
it we have no civilization. There
is Just one difference between tb
civilization, of the United States
and that ot Asia, religion.
By religion Is not meant mere
creed but that broader institution
that rules the world. There ' are
various explanations of religion,
many of .them gotd,but all inade
quate. Religion Is 1 something
that cannot- ba diagnosed - or de
fined. It can only be, likened to
or illustrated, t Withal, however.
It must be remembered' that re
ligion was defined unequivocally
In the epistle of James as ' fol
lows: ' ' ' ; t;
j Pure Ireilglon and unde '
filed before God and the
T Father Is thhw To visit the, !
V fatherless and. widows In
-their affliction, and to keep
himself unspotted from the
world. .. '. ' ' , : :
JEALOUSY HELD CRUEI
' A court has decided that jeal
ousy Is cruel.' A most ' wise de
cision. Nothing in this. world has
done' quite so much damage as
jealousy. It has disrupted more
homes than can be counied, it has
disrupted v communitiea and na
tions. The'jealpqsles of kings
first led to ihe'shifdlng of blood
and tons of good red blood was
Wasted t' aVenge the petty Jeal4
busies. '-'In every country the jeai-2
busy 'of poHlclans ' nas caused
breaks thai iava effected history:
But the worst kind : ot jealousy
Is "between; Individuals and' most
ot this kind grows oat of ao-called
love rather than thwarted amW
tionT,; If there Is . , one quality
above another that ought to be
cultivated it Is broadness of mind.
In business we caU it live and let
)i ve ba t in f th affections we call
It getting along with each other.
Jealousy "causes ' more breaks In
the' homes than any-other cause.
GUARANTEEING INTEREST
WHEAT GROWERS .
,AGREEtENT4
Unless the proposed agreement
among' wheat growers Is Ironclad
! t Is worthless The trouble- with
every pool that has been formed
among the farmers Is that they1
:.ave not been compulsory. It'has
'een an easy matter for a dealer
to slip around and. offer ' a : few
cents above the market price for
wheat. The result .has been' to
C e moralize every farm pool that
!.as beeaimadt. 'v.v-.' ;'
If the present agreement which
looks so promising works it wUI
te because the fanners have no
-JternatiTe- than to sell through
ih pool. Anythiar elaa will be
futile. Up to this time the farm
ers have been adroitly kept apart:
They have not been good team
Torltri. They must not nly
tide faithfully by '-their agrea
i ient but they must be tied up In
each a way that they cannot sell
outside the pool.- Any other plan
-vllt be pushed aside whenever
?:nsporary selfinterest seems to
: lake it desirable. - ; Vs.

Senator Underwbod says he Is
not so much in favor ot the league
of nations as he. was.. lie declares
that his change of views came be
cause of his visit to Europe but
the better reason is that he wants
to' be president and finds the Issue
unpopular. The plat n fact la
the league has broken down.' It
did not have anything back of it.
When the armies of the 'world
were' removed the league stood
helpless and exposed! -i ,
The democrats will find It hard
to' veer around to such an extent
that they can fight the interna
tional cburt. That is entirely .dif
ferent. It will be a Judicial body
and its decisions .wllLbc. received
n a different spirit from the find
ings of a league. Let such a court
make a decision the common sense
of the people would assert Itself
and the decision would stand. Six
times we are told the league has
broken down. It will" break down
whenever, the acid test Is applied.
It does not Ihave teeth. - !
SPLITTING TIIE MORMON
1 CIIURCII
We notice there has been an
other drive lanr,cl hi to'spllVthe
Mormon church. . This nag' come
to be an old story. For the life
of us we cannot see the reason
f:r this repeated effort. TheHor.
v.zn TtV.z'.oi r'ay have its pecu-
, There does not seem to be any
economic jreaaon why the state
should guarantee the Interest on
any project. It s is an enlarge
ment of the, government , In ; busi
ness, It Is the first step, the next
being government or state control.
The Cummins lawas passed In
faith but it has been repudiated
because Indirectly it guaranteed
Interest to the railroads; . 1 V
Some of these days there ls go
Ing to be a reaction against coy
ernment in business. Of course
we are not going back to the old
days when the government ran
only the postofflce, but we are
going' to. substitute , government.'
control for guarantees or for pro-'
tectlon of business. .
: Any project outside the clearest
pioneering should stand on it
own merits. ,
. PURGED FROJf RADICALS
; The united mine workers have
sent out a series of six articles
showing how. the radical element
has striven ' to get possession of
the organisation and make It sub
ject to Russia. Labor is facing
a crisis different from what It has
ever" faced. It has been able to
hold its. own against outside foes
but when it comes to boring from
within then thereal danger ap
pears. '-y. ,',J ,,. :;. ,;
The radicals have neither con
science nor mercy. They ' know
only to destroy. Their only inter
est In labor is to subvert It. La
bor must be purged from the rad
icals, i I I
One .of the evils of this country,
is guntoting. It is so easy for the
harmless youth to be turned Into
the swaggering bully that many
decent boys are changed so sud
denly that they hardly , realise It
themselves. Thousands of crimes
are committed because ot the un
natural courage Imparted by the
possession of a gun. ;
The first thing about President
Coolidge Is his common sene. He
is never taken off his feet. Again

WHAT DICKY'S TELEGRAM
1 TOLD MADGE
,fJVoull let me hear, Dicky, the
minute you know," I pleaded.
: The train' whistled in the dis
tance, the train which was to bear
him to New York, and the verdict
of Pennington, the author, whose
rejection of bis ' drawings had
meant so much to him.- ' - ,p -
' ; "How can I let you know any
sooner than a , letter can reach
yout''Te" demanded irritatedly.
"There's no telephone .at the
farm, and . they won't deliver a
telegraph message' that far, will
they?" ; ' ' V :' .
, "I'll attend to having the mes
sage delivered." I said quietly, "if
you'll . only send it. . Remember,
dear, I'm as anxious as you are
about this." . . .
' VI know," ne said'; contritely,
stooping to kiss me good-by as the
train drew in. . ; I'll ; send .you a
wire the minute I can get away
from the conference after they de
cide. , But I'.m not worrying , It
wasn't the work Pennington kick
ed on, but the modeL,,Now .that
I've 'got Draper back, and Miss
Foster for the face, . everything
will be all right. I'm sure.". v
An Right. 'csei?AAAAA ;i;
j .Hnrry, harry!" t admonished
wildly, for Dicky always waits una
til the train begins to move be
fore boarding, it, . a proceeding
which Invariably upsets mar : :
- "All rght. Goose!" ,, He kissed
me again, swung lazily aboard the
traini and waved smilingly at me
from the platform I bent to the
switch key of my car with, blurred
eyes for a minute, wondering at
my own weakness the while. Part
ings with Dicky for ao brief a per-
iodas his projected trip promised
have become commonplace as the
years have rolled ' on. But this
one had brought a sudden feeling
of j overwhelming ; loneliness.. ; a
shadow of foreboding for which I
could determine ho possible rea
son., ,-. . V . ' - -A
I shook o!f the mood resolute
ly., however, hunted . up . a taxi
driver, and made,, arrangements
with him and the station agent to
send any j telegram addressed to
us to the -farm at" onee. Then;
with a facility born of long habit
and- experience I shut off all con
scious . thoughts . and. . worry over
Dicky .and hisi affairs and .turned
my attention and my car toward
the Dacey farm and the fashion
ing of our home A
1 The workmen, on the house
were evidently laboring diligently,
grinning good-naturedly the while
Katie who ra shrill-voiced. , petti
coated, comical imitation of Simon
Legree was verbally lashing them
all indiscriminately. . I .halted, a
safe distance, and watched , and
listened, realising with admiration
that sound efficiency lay beneath
her railing, and that no corner or
out-of-the-way moulding would be
overlooked with Katie's keen eyes
and voluble tongue on the job.
Twlxt Doubt and Fear.
I gave the head painter a type
written list with samples attached
of the different papers and ceiling
tints I wished used in the various
rooms. .'.vDicky and I - had. spent
most of the preceding day in con
sultation overx the 'y wall paper
samples we had secured at South-'
ampton, : The wood work was to
be restored to Its original ivory
tint, and we had selected English1
landscape papers for the lower
rooms, and! dainty chintz patterns
for the bedrooms."
"I wish everybody was as busi
nesslike as this," the man said,
looking attentively at the list.
Then he asked me an Intelligent 1
question or two concerning It, and
I went on to the Ticer-farm with
the comforting assurance, that I
had no loose stitches of my own
dropping to pick up. .
"I think you may count -on get
ting -your furniture In iext Saturr
day," the man in charge 'had as
sured me. ."This is Monday. Now,
let me see. Yes, that will give
time for drying.' It's only a ques
tion of that.' Thanks to the strike,
we have plenty of workers." H
; With spirits as cheered as they
could possibly be with the shadow
of Grace Draper upon them, I went
in search ot my mother-in-law. t
told her the good news, which she,
greeted with an Incredulous sniff,
then sat down resolutely to the
hemming of draperies, in order
that . I might keep under control
my speculations concerning the
success or failure of Dicky's er
rand. ' I know that I need expect noth
ing until afternoon, as Dicky
would not reach the city until
nearly 10 o'clock lh, the morning.
But it was almost four o'clock be
fore the expected wire arrived. . I
tore It open feverishly, and then
did not know whether my treach
erous heart were glad pr sorry at
the news it contained." '
