TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT.

JE SAW some startling figures
the other day. If they are cor
rect and we have every reason to
believe that they are, since they
were compiled by the New York
Sun, a responsible newspaper, then
we have reached the position
In this country when one-tenth of
all "the people are on the public
payroll.
One hundred persons out of ev
ery thousand are tax-eaters! That
includes national, state, county, mu
nicipal, township and village em
ployees. Add to those the number
of pensioners and persons being
supported by old age relier tunas,
in poorhouses, prisons, and insane
asylums, and It is easy to believe,
as Senator Metcalfe of Rhode Is
land asserts, that every six people
in the United States are carrying
a seventh on their backs.
That is the penalty we are paying
-for our easy policy of letting gov
ernment" do evreything. It is be
cause of this enormous host of tax-
eaters that the burden of taxation
has become almost too heavy to
bear. There must be public officials
to enforce and administer the laws,
of course. There is no escaping
from a certain percentage of pub
lic employees. But the inescapable
tendency of our willingness to let
professional politicians run our
public affairs is to increase the
number of jobs at public expense.
Politicians hold their power by
"taking care" of their supporters.
We think it is foolish to expect
them to change their own methods
voluntarily. But we also think that
unless there is a speedy curtail
ment of the cost of government,
state, national and local, there is
going to be a general uprising of
indignant taxpayers who will throw
all the politicians, of all parties, out
of their jobs and compel them to go
back to earning an honest living.
A SAFE PLACE FOB MONEY.

WE LIKE the plan, fathered by
Col. Frank Knox, of the Chica
go Daily News, for an issue of "ba
by" government bonds to be offered
to everybody in the effort to induce
people who are afraid of banks and
of other forms of investment to
take their money out of hiding and
put it where it will earn something
and be useful.
These bonds, we understand, are
to be issued in denominations as

JESUS WASHES ' HIS DISCIPLES'
FEET
John 13:1-15
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Again the fullness of time had
come for a great event in the un
folding of the redemptive plan of
God. Jesus Christ lived on earth
for a purpose and this was not pri
marily to be a great Teacher or
worker of miracles. There was to
be a Great Day of Atonement, hav
ing close relationship to a day with
a similar name in the Jewish calen
dar. The cross was now less than
a day off. Jesus was always a good
Hebrew and He kept the feasts es
tablished by His heavenly Father.
Preparation was made for the ob
servance of the Passover. In real
ity He had been approaching Jeru
salem for three months that He
might be present at just this time,
Two disciples had been sent for
ward that they might make ready
in the cooking of the Passover
lamb. Marked tension existed
among all the disciples. They
sensed that the end of His minis
try was about over and they looked
for the establishment of the visible
kingdom, concerning which He had
often spoken. For this reason all
the men held back from performing
the ordinary office of washing the
Boiled feet at the end of the jour
ney. After they were in position, and
all had refrained from appearing
to do the work of ft servant, Jesus
arose and personally undertook
this work that each one had side
stepped. All were thus cared for,
even Judas who was about to be
tray Him. It was Peter who raised
objections when he was thus humi
liated by the act of Jesus, but his
Lord proceeded with basin and tow
el. In rendering the greater service
on the cross the next day Jesus
would not omit the lesser act on
this Thursday night Fuller ex
planation Is given In the Golden
Text: "The son of man came not
to be ministered unto, but to min
ister, and to give his life as ransom
for many," Matthew 20:28. Thus
an example was given typical of
the service each one should render
unto other In His name.

low as fifty dollars, and will pay in-1
terest at about 3 percent If they
are not safe, then nothing Is. For
these bonds to become worthless
would mean that the government
of the United States had collapsed,
and there is no fear of that even
among the most timid. We hope
that some scheme will be worked
out whereby they can be offered at
every Post Otfice.
We still think the best place to
put money is in a sound bank, but
we can't criticize very severely the
people who say they do not know
how to tell whether a bank is sound
or not We are hopeful that the
financial relief measures adopted
at Washington will put an end to
bank failures, but in the long run
the whole banking structure will
have to be revised.
The great majority of the banks
which have failed in the past three
years should never have been per
mitted to start business. Many of
them were established over the pro
tests of responsible financiers,
whose objections were overridden
by the political pull of the bank or
ganizers. There should be no con
nection whatever between banks
and politics, and no politician
should ever be permitted to have a
traceable interest in any bank.
Politics is an industry whose oper
ations are in the nature of favors;
banking is a sacred trusteeship of
other people's money and no honest
banker can have a single favorite.
W. C. T. U. NOTES.
MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter.
Another of the noisy arguments
put forth by the wets is that the
18th amendment was not adopted
by popular vote of the people. This
is intended to create a prejudice
in the minds of the unthinking.
The facts are that no provision
is made in the constitution for sub
mitting an amendment to popular
vote; that no amendment ever was
so submitted; and that the origin
al constitution was not submitted
to popular vote. George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander
Hamilton and the other members
of the constitutional convention
settled that question when they
signed the constitution on Septem
ber 17, 1787.
However, the members of the
state legislatures which ratified the
amendment were elected by popu
lar vote. The amendment was
adopted by 46 of the 48 states. The
vote in. the state senates showed a
total of 1,309 for the amendment
and 240 against it, being 84 per cent
favorable. In the lower houses of
the state legislatures there were
3,775 votes for the amendment and
1,025 against it, being 79 per cent
favorable. It is sheer nonsense and
an insult to the Intelligence of the
members of the several legislatures
to say that they misrepresented
the will of their- constituents.
Still another deceptive argument
of the wets is that the 18th amend
ment violates state rights. This is
absolutely false. Before the amend
ment was submitted a majority of
the states had adopted state-wide
prohibition. It required two thirds
of each house of congress to sub
mit the amendment, and it was sub
mitted to the states. It was then
wholly a matter for the states, and
the states spoke through their leg
islatures as provided by the consti
tution. The members of congress
were duly elected by the people of
the respective states and the legis
latures were also elected by the
people of the respective states. No
one who is honest will repeat such
an argument to the effect that the
rights of the states were violated.
In fact, it would have been a gross
violation or breach of good faith
on the part of the congress and
really a violation of the rights of
the states if congress had ignored
the states and failed to submit the
amendment
It has also been urged by the
wets that the amendment from its
nature, should have been submitted
to conventions in each state for rat
ification. This might have been
done, but congress decides which
method is to be used, and the Su
preme Court has decided that there
is no merit in the contention that
this amendment should have been
submitted to conventions instead of
the legislatures. It would have been
additional expense, and no amend
ments have ever been submitted to
conventions.' The whole purpose
of such dishonest arguments is to
deceive the unwary and create pre
judice. The wets do not want the
matter decided upon its merits.

A FRIENDLY CHAT.
In spite of our educational prog
ress, quackery on a colossal scale
seems to thrive. I suppose the crop
of suckers will continue to be in
exhaustible. The quack is by no means a fool;
he is the most adroit money-getter
in the land today, and he gets it in
advance he takes no chances with
the financial end of the game. Your
family doctor does his best for you
because away down in his heart he
is sorry for you and he loves you.
The quack is neither sorry for you,
nor does he love you, no, not in the
least; you are simply fish that he
lures into his net. If you think he
trusts you, try to get something
from him on credit; if you think he
loves you, ask him to treat you for
nothing.
Many people and that includes
a few editors wonder why the
family doctor does not advertise.
They even hint that he is stingy
and seffish that he wants his ad
vertising free. I want to denounce
with all the force at my command,
this slur on your family doctor.
The reason he does not advertise
his cures is that he could not do it
and tell the truth. Being high
minded, he will not sink himself to
the level of the humbug charlatan!
The quack is an unscrupulous
liar to begin with; he would make
you believe he cures everybody he
treats that he can perform mir
acles that he knows something
that nobody else knows the big
gest lie of all! He employs secret
processes, really because they dare
not be exposed to the light of truth.
' Just why people feed and foster
quacks I do not know, except it be
from colossal stupidity and igno
rance. Great medical institutes are
spending thousands In research to
prevent disease. There are no
quacks in any of them.
