greater for standards of thought and
conduct?"
The higiier men and women rise
in the scale commercially, socially,
and politically, the greater is their
responsibility.
Every city, county, state, and na
tional officer, who evades or disobeys
the law, just because he occupies a
position of power and can "get away
with it," gives open encouragement
to men and women having no official
status, to follow In his train.
Every woman who enjoys a desira
ble position in society, and who at
tho same time Is unfaithful to her
husband, who neglects her home and
her children, who gives up her en
tire time to world pleasure and friv
olity, who in short, I. a time and opportunity-waster,
is providing the
wrong kind of example for women
and girls in humbler stations who say
among themselves, "Well, if she can
do that and still be admired and
honored, why cannot I do the same?"
Every business man who takes
advantage of his position In putting
over a crooked deal is furnishing a
hideous model for the generation of
business men and women coming
after him. And If one who doe.'not
' enjoy the power and privilege that
would save hltn, be caught In the
i toils of the law and be sent up for
a term of imprisonment for the same
, crime thst his -model" committed
. and "got by with" he is by no means
as guilty as the one who by his life
tnd example set the standard for
'him.
While I will not say that it Is wrong
for a woman to give or attend a bridge
party, I will say that It is the very
height of Injustice to punish the weak
for the very same thing that the
strong are upheld, that the poor urch
in the alley should be fined for crap
shooting while a woman who plays
bridge for a prize or for money Is
Imitated and admired; that the poor
girl gnilty of moral defection should
be kicked Into the gutter or thrown
Into jail, while her wealthy sister,
who commits the same error, even
when found out, continues to bash
In the smiles of society; that the
wretched thief who steals a dollar
In desperation Is punished while the
: rafter continues to live, undisturb
ed and secure.
What is wrong for one class of so
ciety i. wrong for all other clashes
And the higher the class, the lorn r
the position, the more with justice
may be expected of It.

Here You Have It! The Latest of Francis
Lynde's Wonderful Railroad Stories!
When Graham Norcross, general manager of the Pioneer
Short Line, determined to run his railroad squarely, he
was in for the fight of his life with the corrupt stock
jobbers and crooked politicians in league with them.
Norcross' opponents meant business. They didn't shy at
gun fights and causing train wrecks.
Here are some real adventures in big business. Here's a '
thrilling story of railroading in the West that holds you
with its vividness and realism and oh, yes its
romance, too.
What happened is all told in a delightfully breezy and '
irresistibly absorbing way by Norcross' boy stenographer
Jimmy Dodds.
