I met a scofllaw ymt. M
by the county Jail: he like an inn
was all alight. he had consumed
much ale. “1 am the well known
» Bunny Jinn." he cried. hiccups be-
tween; be bad no dance and sing
with him. and gambol on the green.
But I was loadedto the guards with
. water. cool and clear; like many
highl moral bards 1 balk at bootleg
beer. When full of water one's not
prone to whoop around and sing:
the scomaw had to yip.alone. and
dance the Highland Fling. The
scomaw voiced his discontent; “By
James." he said to me. "I have no
use for any gent who will not dance
with me. Our lives, are brief and
haste away, our days are quickly
sped. so let’s be happy while we
may, and paint. the village red." 1
met the scoiflaw in the dawn. hard
by the hoooegow door. and all his
Jubilance was gone. and he was sick
and sore. His head was aching to
and fro. his breath was striped with
pink; he suffered all the grief men
know who hit illicit drink. I said
to him, "I seek the spring. to drink
a sparkling horn: oh. come with me
and dance and sing. upon this gaudy
morn." "Now get you gone." the
scomaw cried. "don't stay to rub it
in. nor taunt a man whose works
are dyed with bittcrs made of tin."
The scoitlaw's pleasures, always
brief. no sane man can endorse; the
morning finds him steeped in grief,
and writhing in remorse.

It Was a “Dog Full."

 

(Philadelphia Public Ledger)

Last Friday was a. bad day for
"Jim" Reed. Also for William Gibbs
McAdoo. The Ozark and upststo
Missouri counties turned upon the
Reed presidential boom and rent that
Hearst-inspired aspiration. At the
same time they rcfuscl to give Mc-
Adoo anything like votes enough to
control the Democratic state conven-
tion meeting at Springfield, April 16.
It was a. “dog fall" between the
Reed and MoAdoo forces in Missouri.
-—und the state delegation of forty
will in all probability come to New
York uninstructed. .

Outside of his st. Louis and Kan-
sas City strongholds, Reed failed to
carry more than a dozen of Mis-
souri's 114 counties. Reed was as

year ago. The Wilson Democrats
have never forgiven thd man from
Kansas City for his fight against the
League of Nations and his defiance
of their idol. Even so. he will have
more delegates than McAdoo.

All Reed was able to do was blast
the McAdoo hopes. Bis savage de-
nunciations of the Californian had
their effect. In the days before the
township and ward conventions the
McAdoo managers all but deserted
their chieftain. All the steam has
been let out of'tho Reed drive. At
the same time. Mi-ouri has given
the first indication of Democratlh
reaction to the oil smears that have
bespattcred the McAdoo candidacy.
Missouri's Democrats have shoved’
both men into the discard and are
looking for a new bandwagon.

After 11:. Bryan persuaded him-

In colleges, it was natural to turn
upon the wickedness of the museums

It is bad enough to have the prin-
ciple ot'tne sinful tning taught from
books and in lectures. without sub-
mitting evidence to satisfy the senses
and appeal to the imagination. Thus
Dr. Straton has declared war on the
American Museum of. Natural His-
tory because of its "Hall of the Age
of ”on" where children may be per-
suaded by what they see that per-
haps the Biblical story of the cm-

WARREN S. STONE TELLS 0F
LABOB'S WINGS TOWARD
CHURCH OF TODAY.
"You want to know what Labor

thinks of the church? I tell you very
frankly that Labor does not think
much of the church. because the
church does not think very much of
Labor." Warren S. Stone. grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers. said'ln a layman
sermon in the Smithflcld Street M.
E. Church in Pittsburg.
“Always. in any trouble between
Capital and Labor. the influence of
the church has largely been on the
side of Capital. This is easily ex-
plained when you realize that the
church depends upon Capital for its
support and not upon contributions
from the workers. Some churches.
it is true. curry on a superficial wel-
fare work. but they do almost noth-
ing to interest themselves vitallydn
wages. working conditions and oc-
cupational problems that mean
.breadIand butter and life and death
to the worker and his family.

"The average worker is convinced
that the church existsller‘gely for the
whitd-coliared people. They regard
it somewhat as a comfortable social
club for merchants and bankers.
