OVER 177,000 NEW LAWS Senator Borah says we make too many laws. This country will be a n republic in name, and a bureaucracy in fa ct / if we don’t check the wholesale lawmaking machine. Not all the laws are made in. Washington, Forty-eight Legislatures are busy, The new laws suggested here and there number about 177,000, a fantastic figure. However, civilization itself*, to say ntrthmg of this glorious republic, is an experiment, in its infancy. Child­ ren try many things, all trying is useful. Even if they burn their fingers, that’s useful. It teaches them to avoid fire. ^ Each law is an experiment, an effort to remedy somthmg good. Once men were hanged, by law, not by lynching, for stealing a horse. Npw they steal automobiles, and hanging for horse thieves automatically disappears, Not the foolish things we plan but what we actually do counts. The idea seems to be well set with the public that legisla­ tion will cure anything. We have laws.passed and consider the evil checked and let it go at that. No law is stronger than; the public sentiment that is back o f it, Here is where disre­ gard for most laws originates'. Law making; bodies might do credit for themselves i f they applied a simple business rule to the plan of law making. The successful merchant buys goods that his trade demands. The members of a legislative body can really do the public a service in sounding out publie senti­ ment about proposed laws before castingTiis vote. WHAT ABOUT THE PEACE AGENCIES? . With the war clouds hanging over different sections o f the universe at the^present time whether the rift among the differ­ ent elements is' as dangerous as it looks, why do we not hear more about the League* of Nations, the eWorld Court, and the • different kinds o f peace, agencies that have been proposed dur­ ing the past few years? With one nation landing armed forces in territory belonging to another ; with the il fight dominent in Mexico; internal war-far,e in Central America territory, it looks like now is the time to talk the advantages of peace or­ ganizations. The world does not want war and we do not be­ lieve one can be fomented very soon. The powers that usually start trouble have financial worry o f their own. They have bad credit. The war lords have no desire to finance a war when -financial credit is not the best. The United States while hav-. ing a huge war debt, created largely by financing foreign na­ tions, is really the only country that can finance a war. Money alone cannot start a war. Money alone cannot keep *it going. It takes men, young men and many thousands of.them to build a war fighting machine, and no occasion has yet arisen that would change the minds of the millions of mothers of this na­ tion that war Was necessary. There is little prospect of this nation be called upon soon to supply her"sons for the war lords. The prediction that money as well as men would be conscripted in the next war that this country engages in. If this proves true war is going to be in the far distant. a c t s O f s im ple k indn e ss About two years ago in a small town not far from Colum­ bus a story was made public telling how a woman had baked pies for her husband fo r nearly 50 years. As the story is recal­ led she had kept pie in the home continually, baking three each week. That story traveled all over the nation. It was homely, unusual, and drew many editorial comments of a favorable na- t u f e . ■ ■v » ' ,.c Hare is another o f that same style o f unusual stories— a certain American husband who Brought to his wife weekly for years a box o f candy. And that story is traveling about the country as did its forerunned and is being treated as news quite worth while. Some have estimated the amount of candy, the . cost, and all that/ but in most instances the fine spirit and per­ sistence o f that certain American husband have beenrthe feat- *■ures o f most interest. , One might add to these stories one from the city of Marion, where Warren '(*. Harding fought for years to win place and income in his newspaper work. For many years he had a bou­ quet of fresh flowers delivered to his mother regularly so she, had fresh flowers in her home all the itme. That custom was started long before he won fortune.. Friends know he started it when’his dollars were limited, when he had to divide^ to, pay the florist. The flowers were with her to the end. He" made them supply sweetness during life and pleasure and cheer and that wonderful ease of heart and soul. He did not wait to pile wonderful bloom on her grave, There is real pleasure in reading such unusual stories, it Will be pleasant to read,Others as they may be found and made public. There are many men who are doing these beautiful things, there are many women whose daily task includes- some act of thoughtful kindness and cheer. Pie, candy and flowers, or what not, there is a great stream of individual kindly acts flowing on continually. The really beautiful acts are done so quietly the public hears nothing about them. Only a few dose friefids knew o f the flowers Warred Harding had been send­ ing to his mother until her death caused the story to be told to others. It is the air of quiet that makes the kindly acts more beautiful but, when they have been done many times, their beauty is made greater when brought out into the light. There 5is a winding appeal in acts o f simple kindness. — Ohio State ,Journal. B tF ra n k Crane Says • *w9*9*** THE TROUBLERS ARE THE TROUBLED A sentence worth pasting in the proverbial hat and de- memberlng is, The troublers are also the troubled. . Those six words explain a lot in life. They give perspec­ tive to the irritations of the day. •r In the school room the children hard to manage who cause most of the trouble are the ones who are troubled themselves— who are id some sort of ill health, who have poor home enviro- ment, who are unhappy. In large families where one child occasions -more worry poorer health or more highly strung'nerves, Ill-health o f some sort is the secret of most of the cantank- orous o f childhood. Among grown-ups the trouble makers are also the troubled, The criminal class is, almost without exception, composed o f those who are physically or mentally sick. The jealous husband or wife is a trouble maker who is troubled. He lives in constant torment himself, tortured by hu; doubts add suspicions, The cruel are often those who themselves are tormented by fear, Dyspepsia and constipation are responsible for a largo' share o f ill humor in the world, The braggart Is troubled with a secret of being inferior, the surly person hides behind the mask of his sensitive timid- toM, the irritable person has nerves stretched to the breaking •point. The nagging woman is usually worried, nervous, over­ worked, Socrates* famous sentence *. “ The men and women who arc gentle and good are also happy and the unjust and evil are mis­ erable/’ derives much of its truth from the obverse fact that* the happy are usually gentle and good, the miserable unjust pu i evil. , < , ■*’ YOUR BIRTHDAY Is It This Week? ■ If your birthday is this week you have a very progressive nature, and a quick, receptive mind.

CTHE W H Y o f SUPERSTITIONS i T l i T T R v r N T K T ^ SASSAFRAS WOOD I N SOME parts of the country they simply guy that it la had luck to. hum sassafras wood, in other sec­ tions they go more, into details ami say you must never burn this Wood, .for, if it cracks and sputters in the. burning some one wilt die. The sassa­ fras was formerly called saxafrus and thus appears to have become mixed up In folkdore with quite another genus, the genus saxlfraga, the "stone- breaker’’ of the Romans. As the saxi­ frage commonly grows In rocky places forcing Us way from the Interstices of the stones, It was considered hy the Romans as a cure, for calculi, acting by sympathetic magic. Both In the, sassafras and the saxifrage medicinal virtues have been ascribed from time Immemorial and from time Immemo­ rial the saxifrage bus been considered k mystic plant; Ha mystic qualities have been communicated along with Its near-namO to our common sacca- fras, formerly aaxafras. When sassa­ fras Is mentioned In modern folk-lore, it.may mean either sassafras or saxi­ frage, One legend connected with the saxifrage Is that when that rather hazy Hungarian king, Clmlba,' after a great battle with his brother, saw the field strewn with tits wounded he was miraculously directed to "try sassa­ fras" and, plucking great handfuls of the plant, cured 15,000 of bis men by its application. To use as firewood a plant possessed of such mystic and therapeutic powers as the saxifrage was naturally accounted among theah- dents as a'crime ; a destroying of a gift of the gods and“ tlierefore calcu­ lated to bring bad luck to the de­ stroyer. The belief hmt'the cracking and snapping of the wood as It bums Indicates a death comes froth a natural association of Ideas. Every crack and snap calls attention to the fact that something Is then being destroyed which* might save n human life; HOKJcthuig that fat want uf which some one will die. Thus the current superstition regarding sassafras In­ herited from saxifrage, (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Belgian Women Active Women are going into politics in Belgium.
