METHODS OF DEMOCRACY.
Tho extent to which the United

relied on the voluntary Hupport
of tbo American pcoplo Ib shown
by n statement made by the
United States Fopd Admlnlstra
tor speaking beforo the Senate
Agrlculturol Committee lens
than three months after this
country entered tho war. That
he whs Justified In his Implicit
confidence In the strength of de
mocracy has been dearly reflect
ed by the mensuro of support we
hare lent tho Allies.
"If democracy Is worth any
tiling," Sir. Hoover declared, "we
can do those things by co-operation,
by stimulation, by self-sac-rlflce,
by the patriotic mobiliza
tion of the brains of this coun
try. If It cannot be dono In this
manner It Is better that wo ac
cept German domination and
confess to failure of our political
Ideals, acquiesce In the superior
ity of the German conception
and send for the Germans to in

BURIALS
AJ CROSS ROADS
Events That Led to the Interment of
Mhe Suicide With tho Exec'uted
Criminal.
In pre-Chrlstliiu days, suicides wore
terribly frequent, and It was general
ly agreed that' a man might escapo
the burden of life In this manner,
without discrediting his memory.
Christianity with Its higher codo of
morals, taught the wickedness and
cowardice of self-murder. In the
strongest terms. When consecrated
churchyards wero set apart as the
resting place of the Christian dead. It
was felt that those who died In drail
ly sin. In llagraut rebellion against
their Maker, had cut themselves off
lrom the faith, and had no right to
nwalt tho resurrection with faithful
Christians. They were believed to
have put themselves outside of so
ciety, and to have forfeited their right
to share Its burial privileges, In those
early days, before churches could bo
built, It was the rule to preach and
conduct divine services nt the cross
roads. Wooden nnd' afterwards stone
crosses were erected to mark the situ
ation where services would he held.
Some of thtie have been preserved to
tills day, being memorials erected to
tho dead, or dedications of thanksgiv
ing. Since suicides might not be bur
led In the churchyard or other conse
crated ground, pity suggested that the
next most holy spot was tho ground
near the old cross, where service had
once been hold, or was then held. They
burled tho poor suicides there, he-
cauo they were unwilling to rollti-
quMi hope for them. Afterward, for
the sake of greater publicity, the gib
hvt and the gallows wcro set up at
the crossroads, nml criminals were
hurled beneath them nftcr thrlr exe
cution. The law decreed that suicides
hnuld He with these criminals, In or
der to mark the detestation In which
the crlmo of M'lf-murder was held.
And so what was once n signal of
Christian hope and charity, became a
legal Indignity Imposed upon the dead
bodies to mark an Immensely serious
breach of the law of tho country,
Chare and Share Alike.
The ltusslnn revolution was not
without lis lighter side, as the follow
ing account of what happened In Po-
trograd will show:
A woman communist woh holding
forth, assorting thnt nil wero efpial
and all wealtli should bn divided
equally. On this n ninn In her audi
ence produced coins amounting to
about a dollar anil one-half from his
pocket. "I agree with you," ho ro-
ninrked. "You havo convinced mo."
Turnlnx to a bystander ho asked lilin
to-chnngo ono of the pieces for him.
Ho obtained two notes.
Facing the Indy orator, ho said:
This Is all the money I possess. I
will halve It with you," and ho held
out the sovonty-flvc cents. She had to
tnko It, and wns about to commence
her oration again when her question
or continued: "No, no. How much
linvo you In your purso? Wo must
now divide that, slnco wo aro lo share
equally In our wealth." lteluctantly
she produced her purso. It was open
ed nnd found to contnln twenty dol
lars. The man pocketed ten dollars of
this, thanked her for her Interesting
lecturo and withdrew.
