Ii It. is about time for us to be rid P! the idea. that money is sinful. ‘ The sole authority for the popular bluslon that "the love of money is root of all evil." appears to be g Bible. But the Bible also gives ‘ s advice—“Wine mnkcth merry: "H money answereth all things." Bei'nard Shaw is not merely being avian when he declares that mon- in the most important thing in 0 world. for he feels that. the uni- rsal regard for money is the one opoful fact, in our civilization, the be sound spot in our social con- rice. All of us who think know that ey represents health. strength. nor. generosity and beauty as represents illness. ”'knesa. disgrace. meanness and ness; and that not the least of ‘ ”Virtues is that it destroys base "pie as certainly as it fortifies d dignlfles noble ones. "It is only when money is cheap- to worthlessness for some. and e impossibly dear to others. that ’Ilecomes a curse." Shaw observes. “In short. it is a curse only in foolish social conditions that Itself is a curse. For the two ‘gl are inseparable: money is the meter that enables life to be dis- buted socially: it is life as truly as vb! dollars and bank notes are o'ney. The first duty of every citizen to have money on reasonable .‘s; and this demand is not com- ..Ilod with by giving four men two ~ dines each for ten or twelve hours' M '-'gery and another a thousand I Jinn for nothing. Illll l'l)’. culture. redemption of fallen sisters and errlng brothers. not: the grace. love and fellowship of ’ the Trinity. but simply for enough money. "And the evil to be attacked let not sin. suffering. greed. priestcraft. ltlngcraft. demsgogy. monopoly. ig— norance. drink. war. pestilence. nor any 'other of the scapegoats which reformers sacrifice. but simply pov- erty.“ Let us change "Love of money is the root of all evil" to “Poverty is the root of all evil." Then we will‘ be nearer the truth. Road To Nowhere it is doubtful if the Scopes trial in Tennessee will be. beneficial either to the Evolutionisis Ol‘ the Defend- ers of the Faith. All this is being done. the latter proclaim to save the religious faith of the younger generation. Appar~ ently the ctoser followers of Mr. Bryan in this movement do not realize that they. and not the evolu- tionists. are making it impossible for young men ani women who are lit- tellectusliy enlightened to remain in thcir denominations. It is the fundameruallsts. and not the scientists. who declare that Christianity and evolution are in- compatible. .lt is a dangerous thing for the de- fenders of the faith to affirm, as they do repeatedly. that one cannot be an evolutionist and a Christian at the same time. for this forces itu- dents of nature who liiiti themselves compelled by the evidence to accept the truth of evolution to conclude ihut they must therefore count themselves as opponents of the churches. As Dr. Edwin Conkiin says, "The worst form of infidelity is not disbelief in doctrines. whether theological or scientific, but disbe- lief in the ultimate triumph of truth. if evolution is false. it cannot be sued by truth; if it is true, it cannot be destroyed by theology." The young gentlemen. believers in evolution. who stirred up this case. did so in the belief that they were aiding their cause. They supposed that if only they could get the pub. lic's interest centertd on evolution, it would be an easy matter to wipe out the superstitions which sur- round ihe subject in the average man‘s mind. They forgot that. these superstitions are wrapped up in the avcrage man's inner consciousness. Man is not rid of his superstitions in a. day .or a thousand days. It is a matter of generations. The history of philosophy. of sci- ence. of religion. all shows that opin- ions arc spread in the masses. but that that alway comes to the front which is more easily grasped. is most suited and agreeable to the hu- man mind ln its ordinary condition. And evolution is less agreeable to the human mlrid than this Biblical version of man's creation. .\lr. Bryan would have all of us believe that evolution destroys re- ligion; whereas it fortifles it. It is a religion in itself. The religion of evolution is NOT new. . ‘ It is the old religion of Confucius and Plato and Moses. ‘ it looks forward to unnumbered ages of human progress upon the earth. to ages of better social organ- ization. of increasing specialization and co-operation among races and nations. to ages of greater Justice and peace. Banks Don‘t Care for College Men. (Wall Street Journal.) The fashion in bank clerks seems to be changing. A few years ago many of the larger banks took on a part of each June crop of college graduates and gave them training courses in banking routine which gave them a good start on the way to official position‘ The practice evidently returned less than it cost. Most banks now seem to favor hiring men with tanking experience or with only elementary education. A representative of an important eastern college recently approached the officials of one of the largest New York institutions with a view to securing positions for some of this year's graduating class. He was told that there was room for none, and that his students who wished positions with the bank in ques- tion. would have to obtain at least a year's experience in some other in- sliiullon, preferably a country bank. before they could be considered. Wheat—And Corn. (Kansas City liar.) Kansas. like tho’rest of the coun- try. has suffered a severe loss in wheat. Apparently this year's.crop will be 40 million bushels below the 5-year average. But as the crop of the entire country is more than 200 million bushels below last year‘s the price is bound to be good. Besides. Kan- sas is not a 1-crop state. It has other strings to its bow. It is rais- ing a million more bu heis of oats - . ,‘The crying need is hot for better ‘nls. cheaper bread. prohibition, and barley than last year and its corn acreage is the largest in years.

While Mr. Bailey was passing out of the door at. the rear of the post office he. slipped and fell. His arm struck on the. stone step causing a deep cut right to the. bone at the elbow joint. Dr. Clark was called and served the. cut up. Mr. Bailey's arm will be out of commission for several days as a result of the ac- cident.

There was a. spring in Michael's step as he strode up the long walk that lay betwecn the gate and the door of Menlow house: he was whistling softly some popular fox- trot ho had heard at lunch at Edou- ard's cafe: and it was apparent that hol was happy and pleased with him- sc f. Inside. by a crackling fire in the library. built for his cheery benefit, he found Liiah with her mother. He guessed what Lilah had been telling her parent. as he responded to Mrs. Pharicy‘s welcoming smile with a beam. He kissed his wife. threw off his coat and hat. warmed his hands by the fire. and swerved to her enthusiastically: , “Guess what. dear! I've found a factory!" His enthusiasm infected hcr “Oh. you have! Where?" “It‘s a little place down on the Big Four railroad tracks. Three floors. Fairly good condition. .Sort of small. but plenty of room for ad- ditions. And 1 can get it for $350 a month for the first year. with an option for four years. There's a lot of transmission belting up: it used to be a machine shop: and it, is ar- ranged for the sort of factory I need." “That's Just fine. Mow did you happen to run across it '.’" "I saw an advertisement in the paper this morning. The man who has it had a sub-lease. and he‘s dy- ing to get it off his hand . Hasn't been occupied for nearly 1 year. I gave him $250 for a ten day option. half of which is returnable if I don't exercise it. That means I'll have to act right away." "But how can you? You haven't. any partners. or any staff. or any- thing?" “I can attend to that." He turn- ed suddenly to the visitor. “Say. Mother Phnrley. you'll keep this un- der your hat. won‘t you?" "Yes. mother you must." The older woman looked at them with gray. offended eyes. “I'm not in the habit of spreading things." she responded with half an effort to smile. t Lllsh passed over the matter quickly! "Michael. I told mother." “I guessed so." he grinned. He moved to her side and bent over to embrace her. "You two had better not try to give any more parties." Mother Phsrley announced. solemnly.

(Copyright. 1925.) The number of large railway systems which are now encourag- ing and aiding their employee to become security ovv ners in the coni- panies for which they work is four- teen. Some of them help their sin- ploycs to acquire common stock. some to buy preferred stock and some of them to take bonds. The Lehlgh \alley was the first to in- augurate s. stock ownership plan tor their employees. The Penn- sylvania at this writing has the largest number of employees regis- tered as stockholders. The advant- ages of this method of interesting railway employees in railway secur- ities are obvious. The public uti- lilics have leen doing the same thing a long time along with their scheme cf selling stock to their _Lll.'l0Iilt-l‘l. in the industrial field the success of the United States Steel Corporation's plan toward sid- ing its workers to become partners in the business is well known. So far the railroads have not extended this idea to their customers except when the New Haven financed a. bond refunding operation ivy selling new securities to manufacturers and business men located along its lines. one point. however. should be made clear and that is that the em- I lily or an ployee. whether of a railroad. a uti- lndustrial organization. who purchases securities of the have to get him to extend the op. ‘coniptvny by which he is employed iion." ‘ "You shouldn‘t let any parties and foolishness interfere with busi- IILIvB. Especially since Michael is practically out of a job." Mother Plvarlcy out in. Lilah frowned an- noyed. and glanced furtivcly at Ml- cha'l. "Are ’you going to take Liiah?" the visitor continued. "Well. no. ’1 was thinking of go- ing alone. Won't be there but one day." "Why. Michael!" that she was hurt. to take me. . . Her outburst fussed him. “Yes. I did dear. but I meant some time when I was going to be there sev- eral days. You wouldn‘t get any pleasure out of just going for one day." “Well. why not stay longer?" Michael was irritated by her per- -It was plain "You promised slstence. “I can‘t. I still have this other job. you know. I can‘t do business for myself on some one clse's time. It‘ll take me. away two half days and a whole one as it is." "I want to go." she poutcd. Mother Pharley maintained an in. terssted silence. Michael. red with irritation. was on the verge of an outburst. ' But as he started to speak. he remem- bered. No. he must learn to con- trol his temper now. He smiled at Lilah tenderly. "Why. of course you can go. dear —if it's all right for you to travel." In his mind he cursed himself for being a coward. (To be continued.) The Jessica Improvement. (Boston Transcript.) After Jessie had been at the boarding school a few weeks she be- gan signing her letters home "Jesse ics." Brother Tom thought he would give her a little dig about it. so he wrote: “Dear Jessica: Dadica and Momlca have gone to visit Aunt lesica.

In other words the‘ employee ought to understand when he buys stock. for instance. thathe is on the same footing with the outsider as the outsider as far as the return far as the return from his invest- ment goes. The esme rules apply to his investments as do to the out- sider. This is not written to dis- courage buying of securities by em.- ployecs but merely to make clear the nature of the investment.
