Hie Crowd Around a
Drank—Some Who Were
Conspicuously Absent
There is a patrol box at the corner of
Grand River-ave. and Park-pl.
By the patrol box stood a policeman.
With a hand firripping the left sleeve of
Ms coat, the policeman held a man who
was drunk.
Around the policeman and his prisoner
there was a crowd.
It was the kind of crowd that always
collects quickly in the street
There were business men in it, profes
sional men, workingmen, boys and wo-
The drunk swayed back and forth on
hie pfa* during the wait for the wagon,
now and then expressing a derogatory
opinion of policemen and one policeman i
in particular.
He applied several hard names to the
policeman.
The policeman yanked the drunk
wound until he faced him and then cuffed
fiftw hard on a nose that was already
crooked from having been hit before.
“Shut up that kind of talk,” growled
the officer.
“*Ball right, Mr. P’liceman,” drawled
Hie drunk. “ Tyou think you can make
that any crookederer than ’tis now,
two t *nother guess cornin’, see ?”
Stupefied by whisky, irresponsible for
Ids words, the poor devil had to take the
officer's beating.
. He turned his pockets inside out and
they were empty.
His last cent gone, the saloon where he
had spent his money and made "a good
fellow of himself’ had probably put him
out into the street.
There an officer found him and ar
rested him.
And, as we have said, a crowd collect
ed.
And, as we have said, there were all
aorts of persons in this crowd, even wo
men who didn’t move despite the vile talk
of the drunk.
The noticeable thing in connection
with this crowd, however, was in what it
looked— the fact of those who were NOT
foment
The saloonkeeper who sold the drunk
his boose was not there—he had the
man's money and was no longer interest
ed, it seems.
The wholesaler who sold the booze to
the retailer was not there.
Probably out seeking the shade and
the fresh air in his limousine.
The brewer who made the beer that
was sold to the man and the distiller who
made the whisky that was sold to the
man—they were not there, either.
Out on their yachts, getting the cool
ing breezes, where they wouldn't be dis
turbed by drunken men, no doubt
The wagon came.
The officer pushed the drunk into it,
gad hustled him off to a cell in the sta
j Great idea:
i* RTs legal to make and sell enough of
Pfe stuff to make a man drunk.
fit* state approves of that.
KpiA If a man drinks enough of it to
make him drunk, THAT is AGAINST the
law.
And the state locks the man behind
steel bars.
We wondered if the man had a wife
and children.
The Sequel Is Tears.
She that was Margaret Abercombie, spinater,
society belle of Frisco and pronounced b> Aft-si
Harrison Fisher to be ".the most beautiful girl
in California." I* in tears. . .
She married "Dr.’* Sherman Crawford, who 1*
now under charges of not being a nicely uni
formed young naval officer and a ho, on being
Jailed for bigamy, had in his pockets but >4 .
a powder puff and a small mirror.
Seems to-be another case of "the most beauti
ful girl” and the young social lion, .in<.. i
would be interesting to know bow many lives
are ruined by public flattery of artists and
others, including some publishers.
Any girl with any symptoms of beauty is vain.
Along comes some artist and pronounces her
the m>*»t beautiful." her picture gets into the
newspapers and all the vanity in her goes to
boiling- wlftpMH
She receives scores of "mash letters, pro
posals of marriage and other verbal flattery until
she’s simply vanity-mad. and certain that she s
entitled to the pick of the men.
Mavbe. in her social sphere, the pick Is a
joung fellow who is swashing around In a uni
form.
The uniform sort of obviates any necessity of
investigation of his antecedents or his invisible
means of support and, being he’s a social lion, he
naturally falls to the lot of "the most beautiful
girl **
There's no thoug• inching BTm,' before
marriage, to discover if he has anything save u
powder puff and a hand nurror.
It is simply a matter of "the most beautiful”
landing the most charming whom all the other
girls are after.
Vanity is the most tempting bait that's put
In villainy’s trap.
Parents who feed the vanity of their children
make a mistake.
When the feeding Is publicly done, the mis
take is very likely to be fatal. It Is nice, it Is ]
desirable to be beautiful, but when you hang 1
your beauty out in public, you can be sure that I
the daws will peck at it.

“I’VE SEEN IT BEFORE”
•V H. ADDINGTON SHUCK
Author of “Tha Riddle of Personality ,** "Psychology and Parenthood.” etc.
There is a curious mental phenom
enon which has needlessly alarmed
many people. Ordinary scientists,
fond of jaw breaking words, call It
••paramnesia.” French scientists,
with their usual ability to coin tell
ing phrases, call it the phenomenon
of the "deja ru * or the "already
seen.”
This phenomenon occurs when a
pei*on reading something for the
Irst time, or going to anew place,
•ft ej<v unaccountably familiar with
wliat he is rcadiug or 6e*mg. Puz
zled. lie exclaims to himself:
"Why, this Unit new to me at all.
I've keen it before."
Yet -* 11 the while he feels certain
that he has never seen It before.
There are many people to whom
this phenomenon never occurs. On
the opposite, there are some to
whom it is of frequent occurrence.
Commonly it occnrs to people only
once in a great while, but when
It does occur It always make a pro
found impression on the mind.
fccine people regard it as a super
natural, mystic occurrence. Thus,
one > oiuie woman who had a typical
\ieja vu” experience, relates it as
follows:
"Souk years ago. seeking employ
ment, I went to a city I had never
before visited. It was two hundred
rude* from my home.
"The moment 1 parsed out of the
railway station In that city, l was
startled at tlndmg myself *n a
square perfectly lamlllar to roe.
"I did not need to ask any ques
tions as to the direction I should
take I knew without asking that
I had only to tAke the street to the
left In order s o get to the main busi
ness section.
"The feeling of familiarity persist
ed until i reached my new home, a
board in ehouse. Yet I certainly had
not been in that city before —at ail
event*, not in roy physical body.
"I have often found myself won
dering whether I might not have
visited It clairvoyantly In my ‘astral’
body, while my physical body was
asleep. Only In Ibis way can I ac
count for my strange experience.”
Actually, however, there 1* anoth
er and far simpler way of account
ing for It.
This simpler, and undoubtedly cor
rect, way would Insist that the
whole experience represents nothing
more than the unrecognized upsurg-
Every person should remember
that it is essential to health to
ventilate a bed
thrown off when
people sleep exactly as much as
when they are awake. Yet scores
of men and women forget appar
ently that there Is any need of an
exit for the impure breath or that
it Is essential to have a source of
fresh air.

Ing of memories of pictures and ac
counts of the city seen by the new
comer at some time previous to her
departure from home.
These may have been plcturee—
newspaper views, for example—and
accounts at which she had barely
glanced. But even a fleeting glance,
as every modem psychologist know*,
would be enough to make a lasting
impression on the mechanism of her
memory - .
This subconscious Impression
could be revived by association of
Ideas as aeon as she saw the city It
self Then. especially if she were
tired, a memory confusion might
readily result, to give rise to the
false feeling of having already been
in the city.
Most instances of ths "already
seen.” it may be said emphatically,
are thus explainable. They res* on
forgotten memories of things seen
or heard relating to the place that
one is visiting In person for the flrst
time
But sometimes not even this ele
ment of subconscious, forgotten
memories Is present. The experience
Is wholly Illusory, and la due to
faulty brain functioning.

A local Iron works states some

booze is sold, and are coming to
Portland where they can hare “dry”

in the same shop left Portland to
go to California, where they can
get booxe. and this class of u*4e
slrable citizens have left the State

place. One washerwoman who has
done the laundry for some of the
employes of this shop in the past,

Conscience and Efficiency.
•Y DR. FRANK CRANE
(Cop>right. 1915, hy Frank Crane)
\N hen in the course of evolution man
appeared on the earth he became «u
--preme, he mastered all the other animals.
Those he could not use he exterminated.
That was because he had brains. ’
Men fought with each other, like
beasts, until there "us developed in them
the force we call conscience. With con
science came the possibility of social life,
organized companionship, and co-opera
tion; in other words, civilization.
Conscience is the faculty by which we
sense right and wrong. In proportion to
its presence the general welfare of man
kind rises; in proportion to its absence
men tend to disintegrate, to destroy the
products of their own organized energy,
and thus revert to the brute.
Man differs from the beast in that he
is improvable. The beast begins where
his father began; the man begins where
his father left ofl*, thus making contin
uous progress.
Man’s progress has been amazing. He
has built cities, accumulated knowledge,
created art, multiplied inventions. And
in all these directions his work has been
permanent only as it has been subject
to the check of conscience.
Not force but justice is the secret of
humanity’s advance.
This we recognize aa to individuals; as
to organizations (parties, nations, cor
porations, etc.), we do not sufficiently
acknowledge the necessity of conscience
to permanence. lienee twentieth century
calamities.
The lie of lies is that conscience need
not bind organizations, that there is one
morality for the individual and another
for the group.
Organization may be a good thing, the
way out of barbarism, the means of en
riching and beautifying human life. Or
it may be a most deadly and damnable
thing.
All in accordance with the growth of
group conscience keeping step with group
power.
For instance, co-operation in business
makes possible the enormous wealth of
modern times. Hut the great combina
tions turn and destroy the people when
there is no combination conscience.
Labor unions are helpful until they get
the notion that the organization of la
borers may rightfully do deeds of vio
lence that would be wrong in a private
person.
Cities grow corrupt there is
no civic conscience. While aldermen, as
individuals, would not lie, cheat, and rob,
yet as a party or council they think they
may do these things.
One man may not murder his fellow.
If he does he is hanged. Dut an army of
men may murder and bum, and consider
it glorious.
Right here is the breaking point in
civilization. Where there is collective
efficiency but no collective conscience
efficiency begins to devour itself.
We must get over supposing conscience
to be merely a Sunday school affair, a
matter of being nice and good and pretty.
It is a matter of life and death.
It is as essential to progress and power
as brains and organization and force are.
Without it efficiency rots.
The first twenty centuries of Chris
tianity applied conscience to the individ
ual. Yet it was supposed that to tha
state, the church, the corporation, and
the union, conscience did not apply.
We see the result. Europe is destroy
ing her civilization in an orgy of suicide.
America is beaded for the breakers be
cause we have built up communal effi
ciency without communal conscience.
We cannot cheat destiny. The wages
of national, corporate, organized sin is
also death, as much more terrible than
individual destruction as the organization
is greater than the man.
Socialism may come, in one form or an
other, but unless it is accompanied by a
socialized conscience it will simply mean
greater, wider, more appalling ruin.
The church cannot go on preaching
Jesus to individuals and Macchiavelli to
states.
At last the high gods weary of such
stupidity and send the deluge.
