Wiggins, pastor of the North Broad Street Methodist church. This department of the paper is growing in interest and a number of our subscribers have told us that they enjoy and look forward to its appearance from time to time. The sermon for the department for the month of March will be furnished by Dr. D. J. Woods, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. DELAYED JUSTICE Swift justice is the only justice that counts. When justice is delayed it invites evasion and loses, even when it finally arrives, most of its moral effect is a deterrent The system in most States makes crime a gamble for any malefactor. The chances of getting away with the worse crimes are indefinitely multi plied during the long period between the offense and the final decree of the courts. The result is that law is held in contempt and justice is robbed of its terrors. The crime wave sweeping^ over the country today in a very large measure is attributable to the practice of delayed justice. TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS The Chronicle is this week mailing •ut statements to all .^subscribers in arrears and whose subscriptions will expire within the next thirty days. A year a.?6 our subscription contest was held and many new subscriptions added then are now due. Therefore it is very important that you examine your label.

Thirty days notfee is. given all subscribers and all sub scriptions itot paid or arranged for during that -time, will be discontin ued. We don't want to lose a single member oLour large family of read ers but with the present high cost of producing a newspaper, we are compelled to keep our list on a paid- in-advance basis. The Chronicle is printed and delivered into your home every Thursday morning for less than three cents a week. to hurt other people. That is one more testimony to the character of a splendid profession; but it is more than that. Physicians could not achieve their unusually low record for accidents merely by determining to be careful when they drive. Doubtless they give more conscious thought to be careful than do other upright and gentlemanly persons. To make such a record a man must live a certain sort of life in a certain sort of spirit. It is the sudden, the unexpected, the trying incidents that reveal the true character of a man. There is noth ing so technical in this quality of the doctors that everybody cannot prac tice it. Live and act all the time in everything in such a state of mind and heart that you will do an un- ually. small amount of damage in e ~wona!s a follow. For after all, what we do is largely determined by our state of mind. ting power without wire?. Whoever solves that can command hundreds of millions for- himself and endless billions for the world. Waterfalls could run machines hundreds of miles awaf, and airplanes fly with power taken through air, through earth plants. Ethel Jaeger entered public school at six and in eighteen months did three years’ work, advancing from one class to another rapidly. In ad dition, the child took piano lessons and studied classic dancing. The lit tle girl will be praised, the father and mother will be proud. But that is false education. A child with a superior mind should be held back. Children wfculd be better off as a whole if allowed to devote, their first ten years to out- prood me tor«loo^ exercise, and Wing thr.($g their eyes, not teaching them even to read until ten or twelve years of| age. McADOO WILL RUN As was expected, the meeting in Chicago on Monday proved a big boom to McAdoo and it appears that he is stronger today than ever be fore. The convention “called” him as the pre-eminently available can didate to lead the Democrats, and then went further and passed resolu tions endorsing his honesty and in tegrity and denounced the infamous conspiracy which attempted to be smirch his name in connection with the Teapot Dome scandal. It must be gratifying to Mr. Mc Adoo to see -how his friends have come to his support in splendid spir it. He has had our sympathy in the dirty conspiracy waged against him by the fact that in the practice of his profession, he had the Doheny oil interests as a client. The investi gation of his relations with Doheny, brought about at his request, clearly exonerated him and showed that his record in a professional capacity is an open book. It was to soon to bring judgment of condemnation up on him for the public mind is not yet settled down upon the essential facts of the oil scandal. Each day brings new developments and it would seem that the pot is just beginning to boil. The campaign against McAdoo, en tirely unfounded as the investigation revealed, shows that the Republicans fear the Democratic leader and how desperately anxious they are to di vert the public’s mind frqm the dirt and misdeeds of their own party and to center the attention of the country towards the former official in Wilson’s cabinet. The investigation, followed by the Chicago convention, clears the way for the McAdoo fight. ITie slan derous attack made upon him did not go far-with the public. Had McAdoo been reduced to the ranks and elimi nated as available presidential tim ber, the G. 0. P. would have rejoiced with delight. clothes—too indolent and sloven io dress and attend divine worship. FIFTH: False conception of wor ship or because the sormon is poor, they drift into the habit of neglect ing church, attendance: SIXTH: A large number of,those who stay away do so because they are plain pagans; their education is defective. No well-bred, well-trained, modern,, up-to-date, and otherwise normal man stays away from church services. SEVENTH: There are thousands of business, professional, political, and official men who neglect church because they are conscious of the fact that they are grossly sinful, sel fish, conceited, and derelict in the per formance of their duties. They know that if they face the gospel as ex pounded from God’s infallible Word they will have to surrender their sel fish, mean, conceited business and professional attitude toward. the church and the gospel. They are try ing to avoid the doctrine of respon sibility, accountability, and judgment They are foolish. Every sensible man ought to prepare to meet his God. Every desirable, worthy citi zen ought to ’Re found M his every Sunday morning worshipping God. Ramsay MacDonald, British La bor Prime Minister, gives up one of two $25,000 salaries to which he is entitled. The English have brains enough to pay well men to whom they give important jobs. This makes it un necessary for oil companies or oth ers to pay them after they LEAVE office—for services rendered while IN office. Good news is that General Motors, big automobile making company, broke all records last year, selling $698,000,000 worth of cars. Many Americans are getting fresh air that didn’t use to get it, plus the health that comes from fresh air. Nevada killed Gee Jon, Chinese tong murderer, with hydrocyanic gas. Mr. Jon, according to guards, W wept a little as he was placed in the chair.” His tears seemed to ask, “Why pick on me?” Doctors say death was painless, but they don’t know. Gee Jon liv ed six minutes after he began breath ing the deadly gas. Where is the now ? Somewhere in space telling Confucius about it? If Government insists on killing it should kill as savages usually do, choking with a rope, cutting off the head or in some other savage fash ion. Science and scientists should not be disgraced in the operation. Ten thousand ‘ years hence this will be spoken of’as an age that used to hang, shoot, asphyxiate, kill with electricity and then foolishly expect criminals, with the undeveloped minds of children, NOT to imitate a mur derous example set by government itself. GOING TO CHURCH It is a <|>mmon impression that people do not go to church as they used to go, especially since the auto mobiles have taken the day. Yet a religious census shows that almost 46,000,000 Americans are regular church attendants. That is not so bad against a population of a little over 100,000,000. There are 200,090 ministers in the United States, including all denomi nations. If every member attended church regularly, the congregations would average 230. Of course many are still outside the fold. Attendance is irregular. Nevertheless, the churches are making some headway. In the last five years more than 4,000,000 new members have been ad ded to the churches in this country. What news could be more important than this? Real civilization began with Christ.

The lat ter used gasoline imported from the United States. That’s good news. Unlike oil wells, the supply of alcohol never can give out. We could get enough alcohol put of corn stalks in the United States, and other vegetable matter, to run all the machinery of the United States. There is power inex haustible.
