The splendid fiction in a better
"Htory" than the one from real
life. Truth in proverbially
atranger tlum fiction and it ik
usually more harsh, for it deals
with things as they arc, not hs
they ought to be. There should
have been nothing '"behind the
door" for this or any other pro-
digal, hig or little, young or old,
hut a father's love and forgive-
ness. a father's welcoming arms
A prodigal of 15 should have
looked forward to something
kindlier than the cruel punish
merit that waited "behind the
door." There was no fatted calf,
even in a symbolical sense, no
father .to "see him from afar off
and run to meet him and fall up-
on his neek and say: "This my
son that was lost is fjuund, tliat
was dead and now lives"—only
the stiek or strap "behind the
door." the symbol of punish-
ment and pain-
Vet for most of earth's "child-
ren of a larger growth" Fate
Life or God—by whatever name
we call the ascendant power that
rules the destinies of human be
ings—has a rod in pickle and
there is no alternative left to
them but "to take their liekin'. "
From a purely ethical standpoint,
a long step toward a working
- philosophy of life has been gain
ed when we ean reach the point
where we accept with resigna-
tion, if not cheerfulness, the hard
alternative. It is well to be
taught and to learn that sin
means to he punished, that error
leads to pain, that the majesty of
moral as well as human laws
must he vindicated, even though
weak and willful human beings
writhe and cry out. But there is
something in human souls that
pleads for mercy and for pity.
Human beings are of the stuff
of which gossamer is made. They
are tossed about by the idlest
winds of ploMKiire and the soft-
est zephyrs of self-interest. Non

An Object Lesson.
President Wilson's steady re-
fusal to recognize President llu-
erta unless he ean clear himself
of the odious charge of murder-
ing President Madero in a pecul-
iarly brutal and savage manner
will be generally approved the
world over. The people of the
United States can afford to take
such an ethical attitude, because
it is equivalent to proclaiming
the futility of assassination so
far are recognition of a suspec-
ted murderer is concerned- Mex-
ican politicians will bo less like
ly to adopt this way of ridding
themselves of opponents if they
are convinced that even the sus
picion of guilt will cause them to
forfeit what they most desire to
secure. Toronto Globe.
