BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war
from the power of the sword. Job 5:20.
Statutory Folly
"Laws enacted through fanaticism and crass ignorance
bid fair to make law breaking a cardinal virtue. Such laws
are killing respect for law. What was merely a Boston tea
party in 1773 is now a national revolt against tyranny and
statuatory lolly. Hysterical attempts at lawless and law-
breaking enforcement of one particular law, only adds fuel to
the flame" declared President Nicholas Murray Eutler in his
commencement address to graduates of Columbia University.
Referring to the destruction of the "most elementary form
of freedom" and the complaisant and cowardly attitude of
public officials generally, Mr. Butler continued:
Courage must now give way to a conformity to type, to a sort of
spineless corporate opinion which, operated by prohibitions and
compulsions, alms to reduce all individuality, whether of mind or
character, to a gelatinous and wobbling mass. No abuse is too great
to be visited upon tiio hopeless individual who still ventures to have
a mind and character of his own.
The Volstead act is only one of many statutes that provide
bureaucratic regulation and control of not only the occupa
tion, and of the habits and appetites of the individual, but
attempts also to limit his mind, as in Tennessee, to primitive
knowledge, to conform to the ignorance of the intolerant
majority.
It has been computed that over 10,000 new laws were
placed on statute books by the various state legislatures the
past winter, a large percentage of which provided new
regulations, new prohibitions, new compulsions, with the
machinery for their enforcement at public expense. All of
which leads Senator James A. Reed to ask :
"Will that race of jnen who for a thousand years have asserted
the "rigliL of castle," rejected governmental interference In domestic
affairs, proclaimed the right of the free man to regulate hia per
sonal habits and to rear and govern his children In accordance witli
tile laws of conscience and love, now become subject to a self-imposed
statutory tyranny which from birih to dcatli interferes in the
smallest concerns of life? Shall we endure a legal despotism the
equivalent of which would have provoked rebellion among the Saxons
oven when under the Norman heel?
I doubt not these statutory bonds will be eventually broken. The
right of I ho free man to live his own life, limited only by the
Inhibition of non-lufrlngement upon the rights of others, will again
bo asserted. Hut belore that day arrives will be tile splendid
symmetry of our governmental structure have been destroyed?

My Ma trimonial
Vacation byvwetDare
. As I looked at Dili Ewing I ro
mcmbered what I had heard about
him that he had been disappoint
in love, and had come ort to thin
beautiful island because he did
not want to see any women.
I wondered if he resented Na
thalle's and my coming there. He
had been very nico to us, of course,
but then, he would do that just out
of politeness.
He tonic me out In a gl;iss-bot-
tomed boat that morning Just
regular row boat, it was, with
piece of heavy glass set into the
bottom, in the middle, so that wo
could look straight jipwn Into the
ocean, am sorts or ueaumui usn
swam beneath the boat, through
long, waving strands of sea weed.
Occasional!' a little shark would
pass us. It was fascinating; we
stayed out for hours.
BUI Ewing told mo lots of things
about the Bahamas, things lie had
found out during tho year that he
had lived there. He told me about
tho religious meetings they had,
like our revival meetings and said
he'd take me to one. I really be
gan to think that he liked me.
Wo got back to the Islund to
find Nathalie packing the terra nee.
waiting for us. She hurried over
to me.
"You have a wireless message,"
he told me. "I'd have come after
you If I'd had any idea where you
were Ira afraid It's important."
It was from my mother. The
first thing I thought of was the
prediction the little colored maid
had made the night before: "He's
writing to you now," she had said,
when talking about "a man far,
far away." But it Isn't a letter,
it's a message that comes quick
through the air, and it doesn't
come straight to you." And here
it was, a wireless from Virginia,
relaying a telegram from Jim.
"Ordered to China," it said.
"Can you come?"
Chinathousands of miles away.
I hadn't the slightest desire to go
to China. I was perfectly happ;
right where I was. And I didn't
see why Jim should want me there
anyway. Ho hadn't seemed to care
narticulaiiv for my society when
we were together in New York
Ho had Cicely Katon, anyway. No
doubt she would B a China too.
"It's nothing important," 1
said carelessly. I wrote a reply,
and when one of (he servants went
to Nassau thr.t nfteinoon he took
ft with him. I had said in my mcs
sace. "Can't come." had
no qualms of conscience; I
told myself that Jim had sent for
me just because ho thought he
ought to, and would be relieved
when I refused to join him.
Bill Ewing looked at me
zically.
"Just a little matter of a
band," I told him, laughing.
thinks he ought to auk me to Join
him, nnd I think I ointhl not to
do it."
His expression changea. C re
gretted my flippancy.
"Are you sure thar. he doesn t
really want you to come'."' he asked.
'Oh yes; he likes me best right
where I am, thousands of miles
away from him," I answered.
I couldn't help wondering bow
much more of Cissy's prophecy
would come true. A man would
offer mo love and I would say
"no" and then say "yes." Was Bill
Ewing that man?
I went into Nathalie's doom late
:juiz-
hus-"He
that night, because I couldn't
sleep. She was Bitting up In bed,
looking at a typewritten notation.
She tossed it aside almost guilt
ily as I camo in, then ha ruled it
to me, defiantly.
"This Is a memorandum of what
that fortune teller told me," she
said. "I couldn't resist getting it
out and looking it over again."
"Even though you don't believe
what she told you."
"I can't help believing," she an
swered, reluctantly. "She told mo
so many things that have come
true that I can't help feeling that
the other things will happen, too.
And I'm afraid, when I think of
them."
I had come to talk with her be
eauso I was inclined to feel rather
blue myself. We had gone sailing
that evening, nil of us, through
limbic, moonlight seas. A perfect
setting for romance and Bill Ew
ing had taken about ns much in
terest in me as if I'd been part of
tho boat not so much, in fact, be
cause the boat really did Interest
him.
But I remained to try to cheer
Nathalie. Site was so much in
love with her husband, and so
much nfraid that he would become
attracted to somebody else, as ho
had before. I couldn't exactly
blame her, knowing Dick Jordan
as I did, but I tried my best to
make her believe that she had
nothing to fear.
I went back to bed it last, hav
ing succeeded fairly well with hor,
but more convinced than ever ihat
there was a chance of Cissy's pro
phecies coming true. I hoped that
they, would and that Bill Ewing
was the man she had meant in
them.

Advice to the Grange
The State Grange in session at Dallas appeals to the
electorate to vote down the Dennis resolution that forbids
the enactment of income and inheritance taxes for 15 years,
and proposes the initiation of a new income tax measure to be
submitted to voters at the same election.
The Dennis resolution is taken altogether too seriously,
There is nothing to get excited over. People are not going to
exempt from taxation any kind of property for any extended
period, and if they did, it would not be binding, for it could
be repealed at any election following.
If the Grange expects to put over nn income lax measure,
it will have to be a fairer one than any of those it has
hitherto sponsored, which have had for their main purpose
a penalyzing of wealth that only drives it out of industry.
A fair state income tax is one that provides a flat rate of
taxation, regardless of size of income, above a certain
minimum, and permits an offset for other taxes paid. Such
a tax will reach the wealthy tax-dodgers and eliminate the
unfair double taxation on realty and industry that caused
the repeal of the old income tax law.
The Grange ought to have learned its lesson. If it
fathers another unfair and drastic income tax law, it will be
defeaied. If it presents a fair bill, it stands a chance of
success.
