The Volstead Bible
i'rohibitioiii.stn, not content with purifying the world by
banishing the cup that cheers, have rewritten the bible and
purged therefrom all references to wine except those wherein
its use is disapproved. This expurgated bible is termed
"the shorter bible" by its compilers, and "aims through the
Bt'lection of certain parts to kindle the interest of the busy
modern reader in the Bible as a whole" by rearranging
material and omission of parts.
However a study of the "Shorter Bible" shows that
wherever the word wine is used in the bible, it is deleted and
a substitute inserted. For instance David, instead of deal
ing out "a cake of bread, a good piece of flesh and a flagon
of wine" is made to distribute "a roll of bread, a portion of
meat and a cake of raisins." The prophet Isaiah speaking of
the Children of Israel as "tho.se who looked to other Gods and
loved flagons of wine" is made to say instead "turn to other
Gods and loved to cat raisin cakes."
In some cases, "new wine" has been substituted for wine,
as though one-half of one percent unfermented grape juice
was meant. Jesus is quoted at the last supper as saying:
"I shall not drink again the juice of the vine until the day
I drink new wine in the Kingdom of God." The entire chapter
telling of the marriage in Cana of Galilee and the miracle of
turning water into wine by Jesus is omitted, of course, as is
the injunction of Paul to Timothy to "use a little wine for
thy stomach's sake."
The only places where mention of wine has been preserved,1
is when it is accompanied by censure, such as "wino is a
mocker. Strong drink is turbulent" or "look not upon the
wine when it is red," and "woe to him who gives wine to his
neighbor." And along with the Volsteading of the new
testament has gone puritanical purification by elimination of
the dancing episodes, including the celebrated dance of
Herodias before Herod.
Every effort has apparently been made to make the
"Shoitcr Bible" a perfectly proper book for the Young Person
to read without blushing, acquiring bad habits or receiving
evil suggestions. It should prove a potent force in the salva
tion of the world through regeneration of youth, as it incul
cates Volstcadism with the myths of fundamentalism.

Senate Victorious
In the first brush between the White House and the
Senate, the latter has won by twice rejecting confirmation of
the appointment of Charles B. Warren of Michigan to be
attorney general and forcing a new appointment. Rejection
of Mr. Warren was due largely to politics, although hits
record as a trust organizer made him a strange choice for a
trust buster.
The senate has acted within its constitutional . rights,
altho breaking recent precedents, which have been to let the
president pick his own advisors. The result is to enlarge
the senate powers at the expense of the White House
Whether the controversy between the upper house and
the president is to extend throughout the Coolidge adminis
tration, as it did through the Jackson regime nearly a cen
tury ago, cannot be predicted but the chances seem
favorable.
''resident Coolidge aroused the resentment of the senate
by refusal to consult it, and even his own party chiefs in it
are indifferent to the executive desires. Lacking the force
and magnetism of a leader of men, his attempt to ride rough
shod over the upper house has met with failure to which
' his demotion of insurgents contributed materially, aided and
abetted by Maria Dawes lecturing.
The president set out to play a lone hand but has made
enough enemies by it to enable the senate to call his bluff,

Wen, mothers and maids
A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
DANCING WITH CAN D OH
Lllliniay stopped for a moment
in the middle of the dance floor as
Harold Kennedy anked her If she
wanted to aee her mother happy,
or If ahe wanted to Indulge in a
deep-seated prejudice.
"You mustn't atop here In the
tulJdle of the dance floor, no mat
ter how angry you are with me,"
remonstrated Harold.
Cently but forcibly he guided
the furious girl around the floor,
steering her away from the table
where her mother was sitting.
"Take me back to my table Im
mediately," Llllomay said in an
undertone.
"I'll do that when you become
more composed. I'm not going to
have your mother made unhappy
by the knowledge that we have
been quarreling."
"You are taking a great deal
upon yourself by thinking that It
would mako her unhappy. Besides
I want to know how you are go
ing to prevent It. I shall tell her
the moment I get within her hear
ing that she will have to choose
between you and me."
"Pardon me, my dear Mine Vail,
you will do nothing of the kind.
.Stop giving away to such rage and
think a little of someone besides
you rs-lf."
Llllomay tried to speak, but
choked over her words. I
"No, don't speak now," said Har-j
old. "Just listen to me. For a:
year nnd a half I have kept every i
thing that could trouble your moth
or awny from her. I have seen
that she has been constantly amus
ed."
"Amused." interrupted Llllemay
contemptuously. "There is a great,
deal of difference between being
really happy and being amused.
You have Introduced her to the
moving picture people. I presume
they aro amusing off the ten
as well om on. You have taught
her to dance to jazz which 1 think
Is rather unbecoming her age. You
have Induced her by your flattery
to dress like a girl of i!0.
"Do you think I am pleased to
come home to find a mother who
let an elderly edition of a flapper?"
"I'm not thinking of you at all,
Miss Vail. I am thinking only of
your inottur "
"And yourself."
"What is the use of heaping tn
suits upon me?" the man mid in
a voice that he controlled almost
to a society tone. "It will not got
you anywhere. I may as well tell
you first and la&L that I am im
mune to what anyone says to me
or against mo. A man who has
boon bucking up ag.1i1.3t the pic
ture gam a for the teat three or
four years has got to be,
Your moihur, although you
may not know it, has been happy
for the first time In her life, since
she ha known me. I drifted into
her house one evening with some
frtend.i nnd I Immediately liked
her. Sho is kindness iUself. I saw
that with all her money sho didn't
know how to spend it. With all
hir time she did not know how to
we It and with all her kindness of
heart she had no friumls. 1 am
her friend , Miaa Vail. O appre
ciated her kindness to me. I don't
kn-'v what I would have done
without her. And I am not going
to lot her go hack to despondency
if I can prevent It."
"i:ut what of me? She is my
mother, isn't she? You are not tak
ing me into consiricratlun at all."
"Yes, I have to t;;ko you into
consideration, morc's the pity. You
have come back her. And you
can kick up an awful muss if you
want to. You can make yourself
more unhappy, but as I told you
before, it won't get you anywhere.
"As you have so delicately Inti
mated. It may keep me from gat
ing anywhere a!o, but J contend
that neither of us count. We are
young; we have our life before us;
one knockout more or less doesn't
mean anything to either you or
me, but with your mother It U
different. She would never come
back again to the joyous creature
you see her tonight if she was
hurt.
' It hus taken me a year and a
half to get her to have confidence
in herself. It has, taken me that
long to mako her wear the bright
colors that she loves and you de
plore. It has taken months of the
mr-st delicate and diplomatic urg
ing to get her to go among the
youn? people that to her are the
breath of life.
"Do you realise that for your
sake she s'.'iit ycu away and lived
comparatively alone that you mlht
havo the education, the contact
with well-bred people that she
wanted so mu'h? For that she
sentenced herself to a llfo of lone
liness." "And havo you given her con
tact with well-bred people?" ask
ed Llllemay sarcastically.
"Yes, my dear young lady. I
think they are bred belter than
yo-j. You presume upon your
beauty, you presume upon your
charm. I almost could like you If
I dlda't feel that I should hate
you."
