CHURCH MUST WORK
TO DEFEAT DEVIL
New York, June 5.?"The devil
is working 365 days a year; the
church has got to work to beat the
devil," Rabbi Aaron Eiseman declared
in an interview.
The young rabbi , who recently stirred
New York with a sermon in which
he declared "our social environment
is rotten" and characterized vampires
as "she devils," summed up present
conditions as follows:
/ "Religion may be regarded as practically
a failure, unless it gets down
off its pedestal and mingles with the
people on a common ground.
"The chifrch must be liberalized
and humanized, and its representatives
must preach less along doctrinal
and theological lines and more
upon every-day life.
''People are turning away from
the church because it is too undem
3 i* litroa tnn miirh

in past centuries, rather than the
present.
"Clean and wholesome pleasures
and recreations should be encouraged
by the church. The people are going
to dance, play cards and attend the
movies anyway, so why not give them
these things with the sanction and*
supervision of the church."
Rabbi Eiseman declared there is
but one solution to present day moral
training. He said he regarded the i
great number of divorce scandals as
the worst of modern evils, with im- J
moral dancing, salacious movies, im- '
modest dress, gambling and vam-1
pires?both on the screen and in I
real life?close behind.
"The world apparently has made
no moral or intellectual progress over;
the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians,"
he said.
"We are living in a generation just |
as money-mad and material as ever; i
a generation perhaps more sensual
than ever, because it shows its sen
suality in every iorm. it is aispiayea
in the craze for immoral dancing; in
the demand for immoral plays and
movies; in the lack of modesty in
conduct, dress and demeanor. ;.nd in
the painted, powdered, rouged, kalsomined
and varnished faces of our
women and girls.
"This is an age of vampires. There
are countless she devils who go about
seeking to destroy homes and robbing
women and children of their husbands
and fathers. Even our conversation
eventually becomes salacious.
Among our women, among our
girls of 16?who know more about
life in their adolescence than our
, -??
J'T* - 1
j grandmothers did at 60?this has become
an accepted fact.
"From top to bottom, through and
through, our society is rotten."
Eiseman pointed to the Salvation
Army as a religious organization
which "gets results" through hard
work and democracy, and cited Billy i
Sunday who is not afraid of courting
ridicule to "swe souls."
"The trouble with most of us is
that we are too timid," he said. "We
are afraid of roiling up uur siceves
and doing something that might be
regarded as undignified. True religion
always has dignity, regardless of
what guise it is in.
''The devil is working all the time. I
If we are going to beat him we have
got to work just as hard, or harder." I
I WHO HAMLET WAS
{ Hamlet, the hero of Shakespeare's ^
I most famous tragedy, is a personage,
who appears in history, yet is half
mythological, but has been transformed
by the genius of the English
poet into one of the most dominating
figures of literature. It is allowed
that Shakespeare's Hamlet was suggested
by the Hamlet, or Amleth, of
Saxo Grammaticus. The latter's "History
of Denmark" had been published
in Paris in 1514. Francois de Belleforest
included the tale of Hamlet in
his "Tragic Historic" (1570), an
English translation of which appeared
in 1608. Shakespeare's
drama was written earlier than this
last date and must have derived its
plot either from de Belleforest's work
or a translation executed before the
end of the sixteenth century, unless
the poet, who, it is kdown, was a
great reader of histories, took the
incident direct from Saxo Grammaticus.
According to the Danish historian,
Hamlet was prince of Jutland; his
father ,the king of Jutland, had
been murdered by his own brother,
Fengo, who took the throne and
queen of the dead man. Hamlet
feigned madness to save his own
life. He stabbed one of Fengo's courtiers,
sent to spy upon him, and had
for this purpose concealed himself under
a truss of straw. He reproached
his mother with her' shameful second
marriage to such effect that she
r-> icorl trk Violti Viim i n vpn tri n ?T
his father by putting Fengo to death
?a promise which she kept. These
are thp very incidents Shakespeare
has selected for his play, sometimes
emphasizing the points of the narraJ
tive, sometimes softening them or
changing them in harmony with his
own vivid conception of dramatic requirements.
Shakespeare's "Hamlet"
was first played in 1600 or 1601. and
first printed in 1603.?Kansas City
Star.
SIDELIGHTS ON SPEECHMAKIXG
IN U. S. SENATE
(Washington Cor. Atlanta Journal.)
Persons whose emotions are stirred
by the reading in the newspapers of
the so-called important debates in
'the senate over peace resolutions, the
Irish question, reconstruction, war expenditures,
disarmament, taxation and
'other subjects of national and inter national
import, have only a long1
rvaritro view of the unner bocfy. They
should come to Washington, sit in the
galleries a few minutes and watch
what actually transpires when some
senators?it doesn't make much difference
about his identity?rises to
devote a few hours to saving the country.
Unless the speech is. really out of
the ordinary, other senators do about
everything else except listen. Here is
a first-hand account of what was happening
on the floor of the senate whil*
a certain member was holding forth
on a separate peace with Germany.
The orator's name is withheld, since
there was no personal discourtesy intended
and the scene was fairly typical:
The man who held the floor was
speaking vehemently, waving his
ms at the galleries from time to
time and shaking his head at the opposition.
The speech read well in
the Record.
Senator Smoot was reading an old '
copy of the Congressional Record.
Senator Borah was perusing the
morning newspaper.
Senator France was reading his
I favorite resolution, the same being
one introduced by himself to restore
trade relations with Russia.
Senator Lodge and Senator Warren
were in deep conference.
Senator 'lorn Heflin was whispering
a negro dialect story to Senator
Pat Harrison. They laughed softly
but immoderately.
The senator from Nebraska, Mr.
! Xorris, appeared to be listening to
| the orator of the day, although his
, thoughts may have been far away.
Another actual listener was Senator
Tom Watson, of Georgia, a new
member, who says he really wants
to hear the senate debates.
"VJice President Coolidge gazed abstractly
at a doorkeeper trying to
swat a fly at the opposite end of the
I
chamber.
Senator Underwood walked over to j
talk to Senator Glass?and did.
Senator Frelinghuysen was writing
a letter, probably about his coal regulation
bill.
Senator Knute Nelson was chewing
tobacco and apparently not giving a
whoop about oratory. He's been in .
the senate twenty-six years.
I - -l - T-r II. . 1 I
senator ivnu.\ wamcu hilu me i,
chamber and turned right around and j
'walked out again.
Senator Overman was listening but ,
seemed to be getting drowsy.
' Senator Sheppard was reading a '
public document?probably one about i
' prohibition enforcement.
' Senator Smith, of South Carolina, j'
was talking to another southern sen- j'
ator about cotton. It's a hundred to j
one he was talking about cotton.
That about represented the senate j
attendance. Possibly there were a I
few more scattered here and there I
among the empty seats. Sometimes
|,less than a dozen out of 96 Senators [
j hear the speeches which read well in \.
the Record and which the public im- j
senator?it doesn't make much dif- j
iffinocs +1-! vil lo/l t P ontit'o <ipnr?tf>
*"v ~ ~ "* i
It's a great, game if the senatorial j.
orator doesn't weaken?and most of j
them have gotten used to it. But the I
performance is a great shock to folks j
from the rural districts who come to j
Washington once in a lifetime to get
a thrill by seeing their congress In j
action. ' ? j

JAGUAR AND BULL CONTEST. !.
I
The Panamanic who is a real sport!
.
delights in nothing so much as a real I
fight between a jaguar and a bull, j
One must visit the isthmus to seel
this particular kind of sport.
An enormous cage, strongly built!
on scantlings and iron bars, is placed!
in the center of the ring used fori,
bull fights. A bull is placed inside |<
of it and presently one of the huge
South American cats is wheeled up ,
in a similar cage and introduced into
the barred inclosure. The latter is J
about ten feet high, with twice that
length and breadth.
In the fight which then ensues the
I
bull is victorious usually. Not more |(
than once in ten such contests does \
the jaguar prove the victor. This1
would not be the case it" the animals
I were not restricted to so narrow a |
space but the :big cat, being obliged i
i 4
to rely mainly upon its activity, does |
not have a fair ehanee.
Nevertheless, the duel greatly delights
the spectators. The fair Pan- 1
4
amanicures chriek with excitement, i
and the little Panamanikins rend the .
air with yells.?Boston Globe.
THE MEANEST MAN. j
No really successful man in this j
country, or any other, ever got anywhere
except by clean-cut, honest,
straightaway methods.
Friendship is the most essential [
thing in the business world, or in any
other wak of life. And you can't
make friends by browbeating and
tearing down and destroying everybody
and everything you come in contact
with.
This isn't a tough world. It's a
beautiful world, a peach of a world, j
if you think right and live right, and !.
find out what is the most important!
thing in life?and that is happiness.
And the way to get it is to create it? ,
and the only way to keep it is to
spread it around. |1
Now you take a tip and don't go I
I ,
about preaching that hard-fisted doc- |
trine you have handed out to me, be- !
cause you're only going to lead some {'
young fellow astray. Go out in the I'
yard and dig that pit again and find j
belongs, because you're only cheat- \ <
ing yourself, old boy, cheating your- I
self out of the only thing worth j
while; and that's being able to walk j
bang up to your mirror, look yourself i
straight in the eye and say, 'Kid, I
vour're all right,' That's what I do!
every night before I hop in bed and '
believe me, when T hit the pillow I jslep
like a newborn babe and wake
up in the morning hungry for my ^
breakfast."?George M. Cohan's
speech in ''The Meanest Man in the
World."
WHAT RADIUM IS <
]
Radium is a metal that is described }
as having a white metallic luster. It j J
has been isolated only once or twice, 1
and few persons have seen it. It is ^
ordinarily obtained from its ores in 1
the form of sulphate, chloride or 1
bromide, according to the United
States Geological Survey, Department 1
of the Interior, and it is in the form .
of these salts that it i.< usually sold (
and used. ^
These are all white and nearly
<
white substances, whose appearance ^
is no more remarkable than that of
common salt or baking powder. Tubes ^
containing radium salts glow mostly
because they include impurities which
tin. radiations from the radium cause
to give light. Radium minerals are
ve:y rarely, if ever, luminescent.? t

URGES VOTERS TO VOTE
OFF SCHOOL TAXES
Editors The Dispatch-News:
Please allow me space in your
paper to say a few words to the voters
and taxpayers. I hear so much
talk about high and unjust taxes.
What is the cause of our unjust
taxes? I would say the cause is socalled
school for betterment schools.
It don't look to me like the schools
are near as good as they were 15
years ago. Now, ladies and gentlemen
.what is the best solution to
right the high and unjust taxation?
It looks to me that they should be
righted at the polls. My advice to all
the schools is to get a petition with
over one-third of the freeholders ana
over one-half of the electors in the
district, to be filed in the office of
the county superintendent of education
and call an eection and vote
off some of the unjust mills that were
voted on last year by the promise and
giving of state aid to the schools.
A n/I wVin "fVir* ctnto ^ i/1 fn tViP
schools? "Was it not mo and other taxpayers
that paid it? And is that according
to the Gospel? If it is, pleasesome
one tell me where 1 can lind it,
DIl. JAMES HARMAN.
THE DEFLATED FARMER.
We were the lirst to take the long
hike back to less than pre-war prices.
'Tis true we were not altogether
willing travellers. Neither were we
anxious to be deflated, and readjusted,
but now as we have been forced
back into the region of extremely low
prices, we expect our neighbors, industry
and business, to join us. Too,
we find it a bit lonesome down in the
valley of low prices alone.
The high salaried men and the
profiteers on the surrounding peaks,
are holding their positions with difficulty
it appears; occasionally one of
them falls, but in the end they must
come down out of their rear hights.
If business is to resume its wanted
way, people must meet on a common
level.
At present things are very much
out of "balance."
Trade in the deflated lines is very
good, but where war prices prevail
we expect little business. Undoubtedly
we farmers have fallen too low.
If we can pull prices up a bit while
the other fellows pull town, times
will begin to be readjusted, and not
till then.
Therefore, it behooves all lines of
industry, to cast aside "high prices"
get down to business, sot prices
aright. put pessimistism in the
shade and smile.

Brokers
Originally ''Brokers" were public
inspectors, whose duties were to inspect
imported goods and reject any
ihat were unfit for use. This custom
originated in Russia. The term "Broker"
is used because o uginally bankrupts,
or broken persons, were allowed
to follow the trade. Rater, middlemen
came also to be styled "Brokers."
Most people are more than satisfied
ivith their misfortunes, nut not v/nn
