“THE MOST LAWLESS NATION
jlR* IN THE WORLD.”
: No. 5L
By J. A. Darsey.
In the foroer article under this
caption has submitted proof suffi
cient to satisfy the most doubtful
pereon of ths truth of the indict
ment above. Also the reaosns were
Rtren «| advanced by Judge Alfred
J. Talley. *
• I wilh tfi call your attention to a
cartoon accompanying the said ar
ticle by Perry in the Portland Tele
gram. It is a picture of a wolf's
den, with the wolf utafidllig in the
entrance surrounded by the bones,
of dead men. There were many dif
ferent stones : composing the arch
over the entrance, the first stone
being’called “Prolonged Trials.” The
second stone was named “Pardons
add Paroles.” The thir4 was
“Maudlin Sympathy for Criminals."
The fourth, “Technicalities of tlie
Law.” T1St fifth “Fake Insanity
Pleas” and the last “Light Sen
tences." I submit these for what
they we worth. They no doubt,
contribute something to the sum
total of lawlessness.
No Parental Authority.
But the underlying cause of the
great tide of lawlessness sweeping
over our country is the breaking
down of parental authority Jn the
home and a consequent disrespect
for law and order. Children, as
a rule no longer heed the Biblical
injunction, “Obey your parents, M
but instead ride rough shod over
what little authority is lodged in the
home government.
Parents are as much or more to
blame than the children for a fail
ure to enforce respect for and obe
dience to their authority. Therefore
they (children) grow up and become
citizens without ever having been
taught to respect law and order,
and become criminals ofttimes by
the time they attain their majority.
This is made manifest by the great
majority of criminals being mere
boys. We are headed for the rocks!
as a nation unless the parents of
our boys and girls assert their au
thority. This can not be done, sing
ly and alone, but will take concert
ed action, The parents’ will must
be made superior to the child’s
will, and he must be made to fort
form thereto.
The Apostle, Paul, said in hia
letter to the Romans, in the 13th
chapter and first verse, “Let every
soul be subject to the higher povj»
ers. For the powers that be are
ordained of God." He was a fiym
believer in law and order, and it
may be reasonably inferred from
his teachings that no man can be a
good citizen unless he is subject
to'constituted authority. The word
44 ■abject” is an inclusive term, and
implies obedience, respect and loy
alty. He therefore meant to say,
“let every man be obedient, respect
ful and loyal to the higher powers
for they are ordained of God. Now
the only powers that God ordain
ed, that I know, is the home, the
church and the state.
Two of these, the home and the
church, he ordained directly, and
one he set the seal of His approval
upon, namely, the state. He said, j
in reference to civil government,
"Render unto Caesar the things that?
are Caesar’s, and unto God the
things that are God’s. tt
Important Institution.
In the home, the first and most
important institution that God or
dained, are the members thereof
obedient, respectful and loyal to the
constituted authority of the High
Priests thereof, viz., the parents?
When father and mother forbid the
doing of certain things that are not
helpful to the children, do they sub
mit to the authority thereof, or do
they substitute their own wills in
stead?
Do fathers and mothers enforce
respect for and obedience to their
mandates, or do they have any man
dates to respect?
The church and state are both fed
and supplied from the home. They
will be, in the future, just what the
children in the homes of today are.
If they are irreligious and disre
spectful of constituted authority,
certainly when they become citizens
and members of the church, it can
not but reasonably be expected, that
they will continue so.
Child Life la Asset.
Child life is the most important
of any home, community, or
country, and ought to be nurtur
and cared for with the tenderest
most effective soli citude . Mor e
money and effort should be
thereon, than on any othej
Any home, any community,
any nation that neglects its
life is headed for destruction
ruin.
The Catholic chUfeh emphasizes
importance and announces with
degree of pride that if you will

of its life, you may have it
remainder, but it will still be
Catholic. The state in a measure,

JACKIE COOGAN
To Gain strength, muscular control and poise, assume this
position, stand erect, and repeat from 6 to 10 times, breathing natur
ally at all times. (His physical director, David McCary, is with Jackie
in this picture.)
The News will present an exclu
sive (series of physical exercises
posed by Jackie Coogan, famous
“kid” movie star, on how to keep
your boy fit. These aids to physical
perf ecti o n w e re prepared by David
McCary, now athletic instructor of
the Hollywood Athletic Club, where
Jackie Coogan is obtaining his phy
sical education.
Does All of Own Stunts.
Aside from the pleasure Jackie ob
tains from his gym work, he finds it
a necessary part of his theatrical
routine. If there is one thing that
this famous lad resents it’s the mere
suggestion of 'the substitution of a
“double” to do the difficult physical
feats that furnish the thrills in a
movie play. Jackie insists on doing
all of his own stunts, and he pre
pares for them by strict
with the rules sent down by his in-i i
structor. '
Mr. McCary was formerly head of
the physicul culture department of
the city of San Ryancisco. He is
widely known for his juvenile work,
and aside from Judge Ben B. Lind
sey, probably no man in America has
mastered the art of boy training as
has Mr. McCary. A close study
and strict adherence to the sugges
tions offered by McCary as pos^d by
Coogan will repay you a thou
sand fold.
Regular “He-Boy. tt
The general public have always
looked on Jackie Coogan not so
much as the boy as the inspired
youth whose histrionic genius has
won for him the plaudits of the
entire civilized world. 0
That he is a *4 regular he boy tt
and loves the things that bring joy
to the hearts of millions of other
boys of • his own age, has never
occurred to his admiring fans. Pos
sibly the best description of Jackie
is contained in the following letter
from McCary after Jackie had made
his first visit to the Hollywood Ath
letic club.
Perfect Specimen,
“Since the yisit a of Master Jackie
Coogan,” wrote McCary to Jackie’s
father, “I am prompted to tell you
of the deep impression his irresistible
charm and personality left upon me.
To find him such an extraordinary
regular fellow kind of a boy makes
one wonder at the miraculous beauty
and versatility of this perfect child.
44 Perfect is used advisedly, be
cause 1 believe that Jackie Coogan is
mentally and physically what we
hope will be the standard of all
children in years to come when the
physiology and psychology of child
rearing is more universally under
stood.
44 When Jackie chinned himself on
the parallel bars, did a push from a
leaning rest, swung on the Roman
rings and did numerous other feats,
without the usual parental caution
against danger, I was indeed im
pressed.
Unspoiled by Fame.
“I wish it were possible for every
NOT A THREAT.
Woman (at Willesden): I want a
summons against my neighbor, who
threatened to punch my head for two
pins.
Magistrate: The condition that she
should first receive the consideration
of two pins removes it from the cat
egory of a threat. »
