Ureion An Independent Newpper Published erery annlnc except Sundaj Telephone 81; newt 81 CBOROB PUTNAM. Editor tod PublUher The Enfant Terrible Americans like to boast of their natural progress and achievement, of their accomplishments in civilization, natural resources and natural wealth and pronounce themselves the perfect model for the world. Which leads W. B. Hill to fay, in the Baltimore Evening Sun: Kevertheleaa, we arc the child in the family of nations and, indeed, the enfant terrible of Occidental civilization. Naturally, our procliv ities are precisely thobe of the individual child. We waste, break and destroy. In our early childhood, with spectacular prodigality, wa broke our toy by killing off our wild game, and we destroyed our ''building blocks'' by devastating our vaat forests, and now we must take hoards of pennies from our collective bunk to make new build ing blocks, and it's a slow, expensive process. As we hare advanced somewhat in years our destructive propensities have taken a homicidal turn the maiming, crippling and killing of ourselves and each other. No wonder our European seniors in the family of civilized nations view with horror the light esteem in which we hold human life. In these United Stales, in lime of peace, we maim and kill, proportionate to population, twice as many people as Great Britain does, four times as many as France, eight times as many as Denmark. Our industrial accidents total 2,000,000 a year, our traffic casualties were 678,000 serious accidents in 1923 with 22,000 fatalities, as a result of our childish love of speed. Travel in any distant and savage land on the globe is less dangerous than crossing one of our city streets. In even the cities of the orient, a woman is safer akuie in a rickshaw at night than in a taxicab in any American city. In the matter of homicides, we murder 25 times as many in propor tion to population as Great Britain, and in actual numbers 50 times as many. What other country in the world, excepting Russia, toler ates Ilerrin massacres, race riots and klan warfare? What other is guilty of half a hundred lynchings a year? What other presents a daily record of banditry accompanied by murder, comparable to our own? As a matter of fact we live in the most dangerous country on earth, with chances of meeting violent death or disabling injury many times greater than in any other nation. The lack of discipline and training customary to childhood, is shown by our childish efforts to regulate ourselves by sumptuary statute. We pass prohibition laws because we cannot master our appetites, yet in 1921 the deaths from poison liquor alone exceeded by 50 percent the total mortality from alcoholism in 1918 as reported by the United States census bureau. Statistics presented at the Geneva conference showed that the United States demanded curtailment in drug commerce for self preservation, because, since prohibition, the annual consumption of morphine per individual in this country leads the world, amounting to thirty-six grains, as against one grain in Italy, two in Germany, three in England, four in France and twenty -seven in India. And these figures do not include consumption of crime exciting drugs, such ns cocaine and heroin, in which we also distance other nations. A Religious People "Burning the holy ghost" into a person may be an effective way of getting religion, but it proved fatal to a Californian wno ottered himself as a sacrifice in a mysterious cult calling itself the assembly of God. Confession of the chief prophetess, known as "the roaring lion of the tribe" reveals that she first rjassed the whiro-lint trcn over her lips to purify it, then applied it to the souls of We victims reet and his head, making the "sign of the cross" with it, after which a "garden of E'.den" nartv was starred in the nude. In the meantime the sacrificial victim died of nis burns. All of which shows that we are a reliirious rjeonle anil hist is easy picking for cultists as the jungle negro is for the voouooiat or the noble redman for the medicine fakir. Most any kind of a reliirion flourishes in ntir hichlv ! civilization and keeps us busy building extensions upon our asylums to take care of the saved. Small wonder our legislatures pass laws to prevent the teaching of science in public schools and colleges, to perpetu ate bibical myth and school boards order reading of the bible as part of the curriculum to keep the fires of fundamentalism ourmng.

Sho knew th.it HnrolJ Kennedy had tuuKht her this for Ovid March moot. u jurt behind Mrs. Vail. was still asking sjuctions as to the puwiHe coat f t die trip. "What does it matter. Ovid, what It coats?" exclaimed Mrs. Vail impatiently. "Neither you nor I havo been able to spend our incomes for the lost tlx months." "Don't you realize that one of the things I must forgot, if I must forget, if I would be happy, is the constant counting of money and worrying over the expense of anything-? My only anxiety at this moment is tho illne.sH of Lillemay. 'Has there anything in that pap er that ah? inFited upon jour buy ine that cause I bur to fit in t?" she asked MiM Norton shrewdly. 'I dun't think it was that whol ly." evaded Mins Norton. "Lille moy has been very nervous- and excitable for at least a month. Of couitte, she was very niu:h excr cmod over the tragic death of Gwr aldine Eames junt a she was mar ricd to Robert McLean." "Oh, wa that in the paper? I did not see it," Mrs. Vail exclaim ed. "No wonder she was shock ed. Were they both friends of hers? fchc has often written to me about Mr. McLean, but I do not remember that sh? has ever mentioned Miss Karnes." Mies Earn 03 had recently come to Paris and LUIcmay did nol know her as well as Mr. McLean, but she saw a lot of her after her arrival. She had come to buy her trouKseau, you koow, nnd they ex pected to come home on the same boat with us nnd be married In New York. I think you will find it a r.uher queer stury when you read it I have the paper here" Ncinnio Norton thrust tho paper into Mrs. Vail's hands and made her escape, for he was bure that Llilemay's mother su.-f;ected that there was much more behind her daughter's fainting s."U than she had yet found out. LUIemay, who h;id heard the voices outside hr door, prt-t ended to be askep when her mother tip toe,) in from her sitting room. "Daughter." h'.' sai.l, an ehe bi'nt over the girl on the bed vhue face was turned so far away that fhe ccukl not see It. There wis no answer and hhe softly left the room. Although hor mi-lher's voice was low. Lillcinays heaiins became acute as bbe iieard her say: ''You have no right to repe.it any of LhoHe things to nie, Ovid." "Then, bec iuse I have loved you nil my lifrt gives me no right to looii out for yyur welfare," observ ed O' id Marchmont bitterly but Hoftly. "1 deny that you reaJly know what is best for mo. I insist that what yoti call looking out fur my welfare is making me do tilings that do not want to d at all. I must have time s'y in the way that my life shall be ordered from now on, good or bad. "You know very well too well whit I suffered when Tom liv ed. Many times I came to you in tears and asked you to take me away from him. It was then that you and your puritanical ideas of marriage being until death, per suaded mo for the sake of Lille may to go back jutt to go back and suffer. "You say you have loved me all my life. I do not know what you call loving. Love to me means something that cannot be dsnltd. You did not love me well enough to take me away from Tom Vail, although Z begged and begged you to do so." "Ion't reproach me, Mclfoy. You ennnoe realise, what I suffer ed when I knew that X bud sent ou buck to live with a man you h iied, a man that abused you. ltul MellKay, I loved you so much thai I was afraid, afraid thai sonu ;imo in the future you and Lille may would bo:h hute nie." "Ovid, I think the r3membranct if duly d'-ne in torture and at oka! silmc-? at the cost of all one s hup-pit-.t'&i in more year lug than thi hitler tt-uj-a of r.fgtet over a dere liction wiikh brouulit at least s fleeting joy. 1 have forgiven you long ;ni- because you did not love me well emtUKh to tauo me when I nffored myself to yu, but I can not forget, and neither does love forj,-et. "Yr?u not only denbj me, Ovid, Imt you denied love aJ i love never forgives his denial." MeliKy, It breaks my heart to hear you ape-ik cnically. Vou luiuw ycu are trying to persuade ouiHclf that a few months of bliss with this young man who is glain ou; d by tlie great wealth that w flowing into yaur lap is worth all that you can give." "Aa I so completely without chirm that Harold Kennedy would not look iU me if I did not have money forgive n,e, forgive me, dear, I .11 it not mean that. U was my jealousy that spoke. You, are to me the one woman of irresistible c h ar m in all t h wo rl d. I lov ed you wheu you were toil-worn, when you had no beauUful clothes to frame your loveliness and I love you n.tw whon you have everything ;o enhance your beauty."
