Let the Heathen Rage
Gainsville Signal: Last Sun-1
i ay a Jewell City, Kansas,
preacher, in his introductory
remarks, expressed himself as
greatly pleased because the suf I
frage amendment had carried ati
the election, And then he added:
“Now that the women have been I
made the equal of men by a Con-
stitutional amendment, they can
show their equality by taking off
their hats in church.”
Dallas (Tex.) News: A re-
markable way to show their
equality. Did the preacher think
that women keep their hats on
in church because they are su-
perior or inferior to men? If so,
he has observed too poor pur-
pose. The Indies are forbidden
by Saint Paul to sit uncovered in
the sanctuary, but even Paul’s
command is not the wayfore of
their millinery habit. The ladies
keep their hats on in church be-
cause they want to—just that—
exactly that. For the same rea-
son they keep their shoes on, for
it used to be the rule to enter
holy places barefooted. Today
it is a lot of trouble for women to
take off their hat and put it on
again, just as it is a lot of trou-
ble for her to put her shoes off
ane on, especially on. Therefore
to save time and annoyance and
to preserve the completeness of
their investiture the women have
universally become habituated
to staying fully dressed while in
church and if so he there are
querulous men who object, let
the men withdraw and build
them a church of their own—
and then see how long it lasts.

A New Scheme To Get Signa-
tures For Forgers.
Oklahoma is being worked at
present by a gang of profession-
al forgers whose scheme is as
follows:
Entering any particular town
the swindlers pose as book
agents. In order to “get the in-
fluence of the leading business
men,” as they pul it, these same
business men are visited and
offered the book at a very low
price, less than it costs to pub
lish the work. The only other
consideration than the low price
is that the business men sign an
agreement to “permit his name
to be used as a subscriber to the
book in advertisements in the
newspapers,” etc. Usually the
business man, actuated by dis-
honest instincts, which are all
too prevalent in commercial re-
lations today, though often un-
consciously given place, falls for
this game because he thinks he
is netting something at the other
fellow’s expense. Later he finds
that his signature has been
copied on a check, or perhaps
the check was under the carbon
paper where he signed. In
some instances he finds he has
signed a note. The “book agent”
had no books to sell. They were
just getting signatures under
that disguise. It would be well
tor bankers to have their local
papers warn the public against
these operators.—Broken Arrow
Ledger.
IS LIFE LESS VALUABLE THAN PROPERTY?
The expenses of all govern-
ment—no matter how small—are
met by system of taxation, and
as a return for this tax the
citizens are entitled to protection
of property and life and the pur-
suit of happiness.
To achieve these things a false
economy must not stand in the
way.
That it is necessary to warn
people of torn up streets, defect-
ive side walks, ouilding construe
tion and bad bridges by display-
ing red lights for the protection
of life, no one will questien.
Why spend money and time on
'these things and neglect * *«Mi ei s
that are far more dangerous and
destructive in the end?
Why not warn our citizens of
bad water, flies, filthy back lots,
alleys, garbage piles and stag-
nant pools oi water that 'anise so
much sickness and disease?
Why not place red lights of
warning at places where health
is endangered?—Monthly Health
Bulletin.
Thir Ancestors.
There was a young woman who
thought a good deal about ances-
try and descent, and there was a
young man who thought that all
such stuff was snobbish. The
two sat out. a dance together, and
the girl mounted her hobby al-
most at once.
“What was your father?” in-
terrupted the young man.
“Father was a gentleman.”
“Ha! But what did he do for a
living?”
The young man thought that
was smart, but the girl came
right back.
“What was your father?” she
asked.
“My father raised hogs.”
“I see he did. But what did
he do for a living?”
