"Liquor, narcotics, movies and autos have all com. bined to undermine the youth of the country," he stated, "but the main fault for present conditions is to be traced directly to the modern home which tries to shift upon the state the burden of parentage." After this diagnosis of the disease, Dr. Garland offers his favorite prescription for saving the boys, his bill calling for bible reading in the public schools, which is a legislative effort to shift upon the state "the burden of parentage" and relieve parents of their duty, that of inculcating religion in their offspring, thus stimulating the malady, by increasing parental neglect. Effect of Dr. Garland's celebrated cure-all of mixing religion and state as a producer of dissension and turmoil was confessed when he declared that people of other religious proclivities, who pay taxes and send their children, to the Achools, were objecting. He naively expressed his surprise at such ingratitude after he had thought he had bartered wine for religion. Bible reading in school is a polyanna palative for keeping youth from going to hell through parental neglect, but it is very virulent stimulant for producing community discord 2nd religious strife. Hence the constitution very wisely Eeperates church and state for public welfare. The legisla ture should complete its excellent record of negation by killing the Garland bill. TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE 1 Reprisals Threatened Legislatures of Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina have passed resolutions of protest in opposition to enactment of legislation discriminatory ag.tinst cotton-seed oil products In Oregon and other western states. A call has been issued for governors of the ten southern states- to cooperate in presenting a solid front against the enactment of measures taxing oleomargarine and other cotton-seed oil products. . "If they boycott us, we might retaliate by boycotting them" suggests Governor Walker of Georgia. Some such retaliatory measures would undoubtedly follow passage of legislation in northern states designed to aid northern farmers by discriminating against southern farmers, which would interfere with the cordial relations existing between the states by forcing economical hardships on the southern states. If the protective and discriminatory tariff idea spreads among the various states, where will it end? The south may f it a reprisal tax upon our prunes, apples, cherries, canned goods, lumber, paper and other products, which would seriously cripple our markets and the entire situation create pjctional animosity menacing the solidarity of the nation. This paternalistic theory of appealing to the state to create class prosperity by destroying the prosperity of other producers, at public expense, may be good local politics but it is mighty poor economics.

Olymiiliid Army 4'4irp A Modern Marriage (An Absorbing Novel ; By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON ) THE NKW WIFE I VT hurriedly arranged ouraelvee , ,, ... . ,,,., beside the eight other couples and 1 !?? """" 'I'L wer. married. It ... done. And- her maji use rlpt, for fear that Rod would find me there after he had received my letter. All throuKh the hours of the trip t wondered If he would find me, It was with great curiosity that 1 opened the telegram the clerk handed me immediately after I had registered at the hotel in Knoxville. It read: "Will be with you the morning after you arrive. Eternal love and happiness. ROD. When he came we had very lit' tie to say to each other. We de elded to take the train 'way up into the mountains to see If we could find tho Justice of the peace to marry us. Finally, after riding a long way beyond the little mountain station on horseback Into the virgin for est, we came to a, little cluster of shacks. As luck would have It, we reach ed the plaoe just as the sun was dropping behind the mountain, flooding the whole world that was before our eyes with glory. "I wonder what all thoxe peo ple are doing?" said Rod. "It looks to me as though everyone was hav ing a holiday and Is celebrating It by means of some peculiar ceremony." We rode to a place under the trees and found that according to a quaint custom among the moun tianeors of that region the young peopls were having a wholesale wedding ceremony. 1 Come on!" I said excitedly. "It Is a direct interposition of lrovI- ile nee. This is tho time when all! those who have plijrhted their troth during tho year are being married hy the 'preacher-man' who Is mak-i ing he annual visit to this part of lonely the mountain ranjre." savins Thn followed three deliriously happy weeks before we returned to civilization and the prosaic life. I came first and opened my studio, greeted my frienOs, and sated their curiosity by telling them that I had been at a little moun tain .resort for a rest. I took pains to ask 1f any of them had seen Rodney and seemed surprised when he returned two or ihree days later. We resumed our old ways of llv Imp, I found it very wonderful. Rod was always my lover. The sordid affairs of life did not enter at all into our relations. We told each other our auccesnex I wore my prettiest clothes for him when we went to the restaurants. He sent me flowors and books and, if he sold a story, a jewel or two. Soon after he sold his first play he gave me a diamond bracelet." ut course, there was more or less gossip, but people are not censorious in the village. They i.iay be curious for a white, but even cariosity becomes satisfied in time, If there are no untoward circum stances to whet It. Rod's first play was a great sue cess. I was lucky enough to win a commission for the frieze I had been trying for. We were both riding toward success. Once In & while someone would ask If Rod and X were going to be married and I would answer that wo were both satisfied to be just what we were, old friends. The year passed on winged feet. Alt at once I realized that Rodney was not coming to see me every evening as ho had been in the habit of doing. Foolishly I taxed him for it, for once or twice I had been He excused himself by th:it he was very busy put-. ting on a play. said no more but, after finding that X was din ing oftener alone and that even when Rod took me to dinner he (.ften excused hlmsflf early and returned, as he said, to work, I decided It was up to me to find noms way of enjoying myself In his absence. One evening Vernon Strdmsn in viteJ me to accompany him and Lucille uptown to dinner. I hid not heard from Rodney for " two days. When X received Sted man's Invitation I called Rod up to tell him that I would not be at home that evening. Before he answered I heard a woman's voice on the wire Baying", "You can't go tonight." I did not recognize the voice and thought perhaps the wire were crossed. "Rodney, this Is Katblyn," I said. lie did not wait for me to speak further. "I'm awfully sorry, Kath lyn, that I can't come over to your studio tonight. You know It la only two weeks before the show goes on and we are rehearsing night and day." "That's all right," I Interrupt ed. 'L just called yoj up to let you know that I was going to be out this even ins. I didn't want you to come down here only to find ms out." "Oh" the word struck my ears with a very dubious Intonation and I smiled to myself, I remembered that what a liberty a man arrogates to hlmflcif he expects his wife to. slay at home, dependent upon his pleasure.

DUMB DORA (Substituting for Barney Google, during Billy DeBeck'i illness) Steam Rollered General Mitchell, as was expected, is to be punished for Ins temerity in criticising the army and navy aircraft policy uy demotion, resignation or dismissal by 1'residcnt Cooluljie, who has accepted the rejiort of the navy general board st"ng as special board of inquiry, which maintains that the baUlcship is still the ruler of the sea and aircraft only a side issue. (Jt course the navy board is a disinterested and impartial investigator. It acts both as judge, jury, prosecutor, in quisitor and witness, publishes what it wants and suppresses what it desires, and its edict is as absolute as Caesar's. Who ever gets in the way is promptly flattened by its steam-roller. While Japan, Britain and France are concentrating upon aircraft, the United States continues to build $70,000,000 warships that are obsolete before completion and sunk as targets, thereby providing profits for the steel trust, and munition makers and jobs for gobs and gold braide'd autocrats of the navy at public expense.
