CHICAGO
I If recent reports, published in the
j daily papers, may be trusted, more peo-
j pie are killed and injured on Sunday
j than on any other day in the week. Ac-
i cording to the New York Times there
| were killed in and near that city on
| Sundays during last summer seventy-
three persons, and two hundred and
. iifty were seriously injured by Sunday
j Accidents in the same district.
We cannot suppose that the desecra
tion of the Sabbath is singled out for
livine judgment beyond all other sins.
, Sabbath-breakers are not sinners above
all who dwell in New York.
Why then should the day of rest show
! such an increase of casualities as com
pared with the accidents occurring on
other days? It is because multiplied
thousands are turning Sunday into a
holiday for reckless pleasure-seeking.
Doubtless many of these accidents
come from the speeding of automobiles.
The Sabbath is the day selected by
: many people to rush hither and thither
| from town to country and back aguin,
i and for rynning to all sorts of pleasure-
• grounds and sporting places. They
I crowd the highways, and thus multiply
! the chances for collisions with one an
other and with other more worthy peo-
I pie going in the way with proper ob
jects in view. ’
Moreover, there is a certain reckless
ness which characterizes a Sabbath-
breaker running an automobile on Sun
day. Driving an automobile on any day
seems to beget in thp driver a certain
disregard of the safety and the rights
of other people: a man who is courte
ous and considerate when walking on
the streets loses a certain amount of
his sense of justice and propriety when
j he lays his hand on the steering gear
| of a. machine. A mania for speed takes
; possession of him, and a kind of fiendish
indifference to the rights of other peo
ple fills him. He will imperil the lives
of even women and children, as well
as his own safety, in his mad riding.
When he decides, to turn his back upon
the Churches and profane the Sabbath
in order to gratify his passion for
speeding, this spirit of recklessness
throws off all restraints and becomes
more conscienceless than on any other
da\\ Hence the multiplication of death-
dealing accidents on the Sabbath.
But automobiling is only one of many
ways by which thousands are violating
the sanctity of the day of rest, and in
ducing in themselves and others those
dispositions which induce the heedless
ness and crime from which so many
deaths and injuries arise. A man can
not engage in as dangerless a game
as golf even on the Sabbath without'
suffering a certain moral deterioration
which makes him less regardful for tne
sanctity of human life than he ought
to be.
Sunday dinner parties at fashionable
hotels are drawing pien and women
away from the Churches, and lowering
their religious vitality in a dangerous
degree. So also Sunday concerts—(some
times miscalled “Sacred Concerts’’)—are
damaging the moral tone of very many
people.
These and other things are manifesta
tions of a wide-spread disposition to de
throne God and deify pleasure; and noth
ing is more hard and selfish and reckless
than a life absorbed in pleasure-seeking:
it neither fears God nor regards man.
Beneath its imperious demands all things
sacred go down.
Of course, all these popular forms of
Babbath desecration are defended by
plausible pretexts. No evil, however vile,
was ever without apologists and defend
ers. Baalism in Israel, during the reign

THE NOBLEST PHILOSOPHY—THE
LOFTIEST PATRIOTISM.
It was a forceful paragraph, written
by a good penman, who said; “Fight
wrong always, and fight it bravely. Help
along every good cause and do it with
all your hearts.”
There are a great many good people
who are afflicted with timidity. They
will endure evil legislation and tamely
submit to wrongdoing without public
protest, because they are afraid of no
toriety. They are satisfied with say
ing: “Yes, somebody ought to come out
and talk it up,” but they are content
to whisper it behind their closet doors,
and do nothing more to help the man
or woman who is not afraid to ask other
good people to unite in a public protest
or vote down the nuisance. And the
evildoers are very happy that so many
good people wear this sort of a muz
zle! They make a point of saying,
“That fellow is a sap-head, or that
woman had better be at home darning
her husband’s stockings.” These are two
of their stock arguments. If they can
ridicule the reformer or cast slurs on
the woman who complains of bad laws
or upon places of vice and crime they
have won a strong point in their game.
When it was very unusual for a wom
an to stand on the lecture platform in
Georgia two or more decades ago, and
plead for protection to .motherhood and
the children that were starved and de
stroyed by saloon influence there were
plenty of saloon keepers who were frank
enough to say: “I am ashamed of that
woman who is trying to be a man. If
she was my wife I’d take her and carry
her back home until she was able to
behave herself.” I have been told that
men somtimes came to hear my tem
perance appeals for the mother and her
child who confessed they were there to
make fun of me to a circle of listeners
and prepared to hiss me if they dared
to do it.
Nowadays there are multitudes of
good women who not only help in every
good cause, church or state, but who
light the wrong bravely in public as
semblies. They are to be reckoned with
whenever a good cause is violently as
sailed by those who make gain by houses
of ill-fame or gambling dens.
Agitation hag wrought this change.
The courage of good hearts has warm
ed timid ones into action.
The good causes have been bravely
assisted and the attitude of evildoers
has changed in many lines of action,
j They are not so aggressive. They are
I placed in the defensive. What does our
] Heavenly Father feed us for if we can-
! not range ourselves with those who
j love righteousness and stand bravely
for the irconvictions?
GIRLS! filDLS! TRY IT,
THE QUESTION OP RACE SUICIDE
IN UNITED STATES.
i I have been in this “earthly taberna-
| cle” considerably over three-score and
! ten years. I have been an observer of
! conditions and events for a greater part
of that time. One of the things that
j has been pressed upon my notice and
my convictions is the fact that wealth
’militates against big families. If it
wore not for the middle classes, so-
i called, and the very poor also the small
number of children In the average fam
ily would create surprise in studying
statistics of births, etc. I observe that
1 the most of the very well-to-do people
rarely have more than one child, if they
have even that one. ‘ And this does not
mean that they use violence to reduce
the number. They are intent on other
projects, of gain, recreation, etc. It
does not mean that they are not fond
of the one child. They are too often
foolishly indulgent.
But the fact remains that the con
tinual population of our country de
pends on the poorer classes of society.
It is women of poor homes who are
mothers of a “house full of children.
It is from these humble homes that the
industrial workers of the nation must
be recruited if we expect to keep a ma
jority of Anglo-Saxon citizens. It is
well understood that poor emigrants
are prolific as to children. Go to the
slums of New York or Chicago and you
find the foreign element with large fam
ilies!
With the new income tax law it is the
irony of fate that rich Americans must
shovel out the money to assist these
hordes of foreign-born parents in rais
ing children, while their own homes are
meagerly supplied with descendants and
heirs for their own property. Their
huge wealth is often barren of chil
dren to inherit. 1 am not attempting
in this article to explain causes of “race
suicide,” except to say that the moth
ers of early days were vigorous, indus
trious, active and free from abnormal
habits of life that largely prevail in
our modern homes. Seventy-five per
cent of our young married women in
this era of our history are sickly, and
often in sanitariums and familar with
the .surgeon’s scalpel at some period of
their child-bearing opportunity. The
coming mothers of our white race of
Anglo-Saxon lineage must come from
the rural sections, in the mountains and
w'iregrass, or the race will die out.
of Ahab and Jezebel, was defended as a
social and political necessity, and men
who opposed it, like Elijah, were ac
counted “troublers of Israel.” English
literature preserves for us the most in*
society during the reign of Charles II.
It is not strange, therefore, to hear
men say of these demoralizing and de
structive profanations of the Sabbath in
our day, “We work very hard all the
week, and we need the recreation which
we can have only on Sunday. We need
a breath of country air, etc.” The truth
is that they have been pursuing pleasure
all the week with such a monstrous mo
mentum that they cannot stop when
Sunday comes; but do rather run with an
accelerated speed over the Sacred day.
So the Sabbath is no longer a day of
rest for them, but a day of rampant rest
lessness.
In fact, multitudes ha we forgotten the
value of worship in God’s house as a
means of rest. There is a restlulness in
withdrawing the mind from all worldly
and temporal things and fixing the at
tention upon things spiritual and eternal,
which •cannot be found in ay other way.
I his day William E. Gladstone was the
busiest man in Great Britain, if not in
the world, and Mr# Gladstone found in
worship his rest by which his strength
was continued beyond four-score years.
He attended church services twice every
Sunday with scrupulonus regularity and
derided with the name of “Oncers” those
people who went to church once only on
the Sabbath.
Some preachers are so eager to secure
popularity with modish Sabbath-breakers
that they echo from their pulpits the
specious pleas made to justify the pro
fanations of the holy day in pleasure
seeking. Such preachers are as silly as
they are sinful; they are really pleading
for the scattering of their congregations
on Sunday, whether they know It or not.
They are sawing off, between themselves
and the tree, the limb upon which they
are sitting, and are thus planning for a
neck-breaking fall. If they only were
hurt by the senseless proceedings, the
matter would not be so bad; but they
help to draw men aw|y from the min
istry of wiser and better preachers than
themselves; they ae doing all they can to
diminish the number of men and women
in the Churches on Sunday.
Another evil which is contributing to
drive people from the Churches is the
converting of our places of worship
into arenas for all sorts of strenuous
struggles in behaif of manifold reform
schemes. The restful element in wor
ship is being displaced to make room
for ranting agitators and rabid contro
versies. Jesus called a tired world to
come unto him for rest; but many
Churches, where it has been supposed
men might go to find Him, are no longer
places of worship, but halls in which
the cries of the market-place and the
contests of the forum are continued
by clerical declaimers. This also in
vanity and vexation of the spirit.
Let all concerned know that men
must have a day of rest or they will
run to ruin. This is not the protest
of Puritanism, but the proclamation of
one of the plainest lessons of history.
We cannot go on with this matter of
Sabbath profanation as we have been
going on for some years past. It means
personal and social and political de
struction in the end. We must have
one day in seven devoted to getting the
feverishness out of our over-excited
lives. We must have a day of re£t.
Even the Editor of as godless and
frivulous sheet as the periodical called
“Life” feels called upon to speak a
word on this subject. In a recent issue
of that paper he says:
Sunday has developed from a day
of rest to a day of restlessness. On
Sunday the great God Speed holds
high carnival. The churches are
almost too slow to keep up with
the pace set.
Nothing exceeds like Sunday.
Some wholesome way of suppress
ing its homicidal activities ought
to be invented. If it could only be
arrested and locked up. It is our
worst offender. And how good it
used to be!
What has been gained by exchanging
the Sabbath, about which our most
blessed memories gather, for the rush
ing, restless Sunday which so many
people demand today? If men and wom
en who were brought up under more re
ligious conditions than those now pre
valent have become so godless by pleas
ure-seeking, what will be the end of
their children—provided they have any?
Their offspring will, go to disgrace
and destruction, and some beter stocks,
from the Sabbath-observing rural dis
tricts, will take their place.

THE DRUGS WE USE.
It is an old lady’s opinion, and may
be worth very little to the public, but
I am impressed that the time is coming
(how long, of colrse, I am not able to
declare) when the humfln stomach will
not be loaded down with all sorts of
drugs, many of them poisons if given
iri large doses.
The lining of the human stomach is
a very delicate affair and easily irri
tated.
At least seven-tenths of complaining \
people will tell you they have “stomach i
trouble.” I will write down the names j
of some drugs that sound familiar, and :
with which many stomachs are more f
than acquainted. Aconite, gelsemium, j
ipecac, digitalis, ergot, belladonna, chin- ;
cona, lobelia, arnica, sarsaparilla, buchu, !
ginsing. veratrUm, jalap, senna, ginger, j
rhubard. nux vomica. calomel and
opium!
This is a familiar list, and a short
one. and every single one of them are
made into pills, capsules, liquids, or
compounded into mixtures, and every
one has been swallowed in greater or
less quantities by human stomachs!
If we could lift the roofs and look
down on the people who are taking these
medicines by the drops or the spoon
fuls, we might reasonably wonder if we
had not been diseasing human stomachs
instead of curing them. The doctor very
often experiments with them. Careless
druggists are sometimes handling them
and careless people very often dose them
out to sick ones.
The wonder is that the human stom
ach lias been able to fight against them
in a thousand cases! If we were able
to count up flow many people took a
dose of calomel last night, or swallowed
a blue plJl to “help the liver,” we would
not wonder that so many drug makers
o.nd drug sellers get rich, and yet cal
omel is made out of a poisonous sub
stance and if* taken continually will
make mouths sore and rot out the
gums! Opium in some form is being
used night and day, and we all know
that the opium habit is worse than the
liquor habit when it is fastened on the
victims. They will lie, and they will
steal and the habit is the cause of both
vices.
Just stop and think about these drugs
for & little while, won't you?

One of the saddest sights at a roy

"I Know I’ll

ed slimpsy and unattractive. But she
couldn’t afford chameuse, even for the
one gand event in her life, and she
could afford the modest messaline. Any
way Aline just then was too happy to
be seriously perturbed over such unim
portant things as textures. Jim would
never know whether she wore hand-em
broidered. chiffon or cheesecloth, she
laughed self-consciously. “Cut off nine
yards, Stella,” she said, “and don’t for
get the discount, and be sure and send
it down to the pass-out desk so I can
get it tonight. That dressmaker is
rushed, and I’ve got to get it to her
this week or she'll have too many
ahead.”
Then Aline scoted back to the
hosiery counter, where she had stood
for years, but which she would leave
exactly one month from that day. On
the way she loitered in one aisle to
send a brilliant smile across tall up
standing bolts of broadcloth and serge
at Jim Cooley, who had charge of the
dry goods. But Jim wasn’t looking. He
was talking to the new* salesgirl, a tall,
slim blonde, who had come that morn
ing. Aline, her smile less brilliant since
he would not see it, but still a very hap
py smile, went on to her own section.
If you stand at the extreme north
end of the hosiery counter and tilt
your head obliquely so as to look
through the vista between the rack
of black sateen petticoats and the long
table of ormolu clocks under the over
hanging panel of mission timepieces,
you can see the extreme southeast cor
ner of the dry goods. Jim usually stood
there when not engaged with customers,
with his head tilted around the tall up
standing bolts of brown serge, in order
to smile at Aline any time that she hap
pened to be smiling at him. Aline, when
she got to her section, immediately
sought the north end and tilted her
head at the required oblique angle and
Jim stood at the southeast corner of
the dry goods and smiled—down into
the upraised smiling face of that tall
slim neiv girl. Aline thoughtfully real
ized that yellow hair of that peculiar
dark lustre was rare. But she shook
off the first faint suggestion of jeal
ousy. Rubbish! As if Jim could ever
even dream—Why, she and Jim had
been engaged four years!
“You and Jim have been engaged an
awful long time, haven't you?”
Aline jumped, ^he careless question
chimed in so opportunely with her
thoughts. She turned, frowning faint
ly, to Lena, who w r as sorting a pile of
lisle thread disheveled by a finicky cus
tomer who wanted 60-cent value for
17 cents.
“Why, yes,” Aline acknowledged.
“You see he’s had his mother and father
to keep,” she spoke quickly, although
Lena had know’n that circumstance for
a long time. “Now, his father’s dead.
Sounds heartless, but I didn’t mean to
say it that way. But now we can get
married.”
Lena yawned. She had been talking
simply to talk. She had not meant to be
inquisitive or taunting, and now- she
continued: “Course the old folks have
to be taken care of. Did you get the
messaline?”
“Yes,” absently.
“Seen that new girl in the dry-
goods? Her name’s Jane Grady. You
know r she and Jim used to chase around
together about seven years ago. But
she isn’t one of the kind that wait for
old folks or care for old folks. I guess
she chucked him. Say, she looks real
young, doesn’t she? I don’t see how
she keeps her pink and white skin
cooped indoors all the time. The rest
of us can’t.” And Lena cast a dissat
isfied glance, first at Aline’s colorless
face and then at her own reflected in a
mirror across the aisle.
Aline might have forgotten both
Lena’s words and her own perturba
tion. She wasn’t the doubtful kind,
and she was sure that Jim loved her.
It was only from habit, she assured
herself, that she went so frequently
to the end of the counter that day. But
at the end of the day her face, al
ways colorless, was unusually pallid,
for Jim had never looked once through
that vista between the sateen petti
coats and the ormolu clocks,
sound of the closing bell as they put
“Lena,” she asked abruptly at the
away their aprons and checkbooks,
“how r old would you take me for if you
saw me for the first time?”
“Well, Aline,” said candid Lena,
“you don’t look like you’re twenty. But
I wouldn’t—she tilted her head criti
cally for inspection—“oh, I don’t know'.
Aline,” wfth obvious desire not to oft-
fend. “What do you care? You’ve got
Jim and you couldn’t get a better one
if you was a Cleopatra. But I'd like
to know how that Jane Grady keeps her
looks.” *
Aline very quietly slipped out
“Tired?” Jim asked that evening.
“Want to go to a nickel show?”
“No.” She was sitting down on the
front steps of the flat building.
“Oh, I forgot. I guess it’s the dress
maker’s night,” he laughed. "Did vou
get the white silk?”
“No,” said Aline quietly. “That Is
I got it, but I asked Stella to tak;
it back. 1 guess I’ll w’ait awhile be
fore I buy it.”
“Why the delay?” he asked. But
he didn’t seem to notice that she
didn’t answer. For some reason he
was abstracted. Finally he said in a
sort of blurting way: “Aline, ar e you
sure you wouldn’t mind living with
moth err? I’m afraid ” He paused, i
as though uncertain how best to speak.
Aline stiffened. Was he trying to j
w’rlggle into freedom? She flung up I
her chin. Very well. He needn’t j
wriggle. She would teljl him. But before
she had a chance Lena came by with j
three or four others on their way to a!
park. They inested that Jim and I
Aline join them and Aline was j
glad to postpone the break that 1
now aeefed inevitable. And at the I
%nd of the evening Jim kissed her good
night in precisely his usual warm
fashion and said: “I’ve got something
to tell you tomorow, Aline. It’ll be
a shock, so get ready to meet it.”
“How perfectly heartless of him!”
gasped Aline as he ran down the
steps. “Does he think I will De heart
broken? I'll tell him first.” And then
she went* to bed and cried.
The next day she kept away from
the north end and waited on .customers
with such assiduity that Lena was
moved to comment. “If I was going to
quit in a few weeks I’d take it easy,”
said she, disapprovingly. “First thing
I know the manager will be noticing
that I could work harder, too. You
shouldn’t set such an example, Aline.
It isn’t fair.”
Aline said nothing. Out of'the cor
ner of her eye she saw Jim approach
ing. Whereupon Aline flung off her
apron, murmured. “It’s lunch time,
and ran down the opposite aisle to the
elevator that led to the lunch room.
But she left her lifnch untasted. She
was thinking what to say to Jim.
When she got back <o the section ne
was waiting. His eyes were perplexed.
“When did you change your lunch
hour?” he asked, indignantly. “I had
mine changed so as to go with you,
and then 'you go half an hour so >n<y.
Say, Aline, instead of getting married
a month from now ”
“We’ll change it,” hastily. “I’m will
ing. I wanted to tell you last night.”
The perplexed light in his eyes
•changed to gladness. “Then you know ?
Who told you? Jane Grady? Say, that
girl is clever ”
Aline caught her lower lip tight be
tween her teeth. The audacity of him!
“I’m glad you think so,” she mumured.
“I didn’t hear you." said Jim placidly.
“Say, about that white messaline—”
* What?” sharply.
"You won’t have time to buy the goods
and have' it made,” he went on. “But#
say, Jane says they’re havii\g a sale of
charmeuse gowns ready made on the
eighth floor. And she saw one that
would just about fit you, sfliite with lace
panels, so I had. her to tell them to lay
it away till you came up and looked at
it. I’ve got to go tomorrow evening, so
you’ll have to hurry. I wasn’t sure last
night ”
“Jim, 7 what are you talking about?”
demanded Aline.
“Why, the firm’s taken me out of the
retail and given me charge of a branch
store. Jane takes my place here. I’ve
been coaching her, and. say, she’s got
posted in no time at all. Can you get
off now to go up and get your gown?
What’s the matter, Alinne? You look
“Like a simpleton?” Aline laughed
tremulously. "I look like myself then
Sure, I can get off. My, T wanted char
meuse!”
