Don't Kill the Mouse.
If Oxen Did It
Religious Power Lasts.
Army Happy—King Safe.
Mr. Zangwlll telling Americans that
thnlr "pep" Is lost motion, that they
are undignified, unjust, lack shame,
etc., wlll be useful to the wise and
annoying only to the foolish.
It doesn't matter what Mr. Zangwlll
Is—la there any truth In what he says?
If a humble mouse crawled from a
sewer, looked at you with his long
quivering nose and ssld, "You are a
shameless creature and don't know
anything," you should not try to kill
that mouse.
You should ask yourself, "Is there
truth in what the mouse says? If so,
how can I correct my fault?"
Tbe bad feature of Mr. Zangwill's
talk Is the harm It may do to his coreligionists among those already prejudiced. It cannot hurt him, for he
will soon be back, safe In England,
where they will approve quite generally his views nn America.

The edlcatton exercises will be open
to the public and a complete tour of
the  building wlll  be made.
A program which will be In keeping
with the event Is now being arranged
and will be announced later.
But his Inaccurate belittling of the
Ku - Klux Klan may cause trouble to
better Jews than Zangwlll. And his
ridiculing ot Christian Science does
not come with good grace from one
belonging to a race that has so long
complained (and Justly) of religious
prejudice.
However, at his work, Mr. Zangwlll
Is to be thanked. The United States
and Its people have a thousand defects, many that Mr. Zangwlll could
not see or understand. To make us
think about them Is to render a service.

Correspondents report that Indiana

READY FOR DELIVERY
i
The    1924    license   tags   In   I.oraln

I original  dute  announced   was   November  (I,  but  the  state  department  did
not have the lags ready at  that  time.
It Is announced that no car may bear
1924 plates before the first of the
year, and all car owners who wish to
drive new autos before that time will
have to buy 1923 tags to finish out the
vear.
This year there will be a new tag
Issued, bearing the letters PC before
the numeral. This will be the passenger commercial tag Issued for those
who convert and use passenger cars
for commercial purposes.
In the past this kind of car demanded n license which often caused thei
'owner embarrassment when he was'
not allowed on boulevards with bis
car when it was being used as a pas-
| StngSf car because It bore a truck
license plate. The fee for this new
tug will be the same as the former
truck fee.
There will be no time extendslon
this year and every motorist must
have his 1**21 tag by midnight, December 31.

Religion is still powerful ln national affairs. In Germany lt plays a
greater part than Socialism, bolshev-
ism, or capitalism. The Wittelsbach,
royal Catholic family of Bavaria, who
furnished Kings to Germany long be-
for the Protestant Hohenzollerns were
known, are again rivals of those Hohenzollerns for the rule of Germany,
when she shall become too weak to
rule herself.
Stresemann, managing the German
republic, allows the Hohenzollern
Crown Pflnee to return from Holland
that his royal Protestant Influence
might offset the revolutionary royal
Catholic Influence of the Wlttelsbachs
lu Bavaria. To let one royal religion
light another is bis plan.
Frank Falos, a crippled laborer,
takes his four young children to the.
State Workmen's Compensation Bureau und says, "You feed them, I
can't."
Ten thousand voices will cry, "What,
you can't feed them? You must feed
them. It's your duty." To that everybody says, "Amen," yet M»e crippled
lather would get no reward, except a
quiet conscience, for feeding these
children, whereas the community In
generul would get the value of tbelr
work.
Parents are working tor the nation,
and supremely wise Prlvldence makes
them eager to do it, glad to sacrifice
themselves for the coming generation.
