The DANGER

to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman's
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life's pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.

AZ the end OF many tendencies that make
fer progress and truth.
There Is civilization itself for Instance.
the age-long struggle Of man 60 nft am
self Up . a higher plane OF being ana
diviner ideal a. life No thought To-Day
holds a larger place in the minds OF men
than this epic war of man against 8is
lower SELF. Inspired. as ne must believe u
70 be, By all that IS best and noeiest IN
his nature. Yet civilization has It's DARK
and sea1ny side. SIS we ST know. IL IS
satanic as well as godHke. L Is Tragedy
OF evil no less than an epic OF goodness.
II sweeps along in its mighty current not
only the shining grains OF gold. but the
scum and the mud as wen. II IS not al
ways an Improvement on Nature, Tor
Nature only makes men beasts. but ciSin-
Eatton sometimes turns them into SalyEs-
Nor does IL always sound the clear note
OF moral progress which we oelieVe most
truly expresses its character AZ times,
instead OF lighting the beacon nres or
some lurid Gehenna that We had thought
long ago cold and dead. and after the
sweat ana blood OF uncounted years We
may suddenly stand face TO face with
anarchy and revolution. Civilization, IN
deed. Is often like Saturn; II devours its
own children. It's moving impulses are
not all divine. The loom OF civilization
cannot yet produce the cloth OF sold.
Across the golden threads Of its warp are
thrown the earthwoven threads OF evil
by the shuttle of circumstance. and so
until the millennium comes motiey's the
wear for man.
Yet there is no reason for discourage
ment in all this. Hope stfI remains IN
the Pandora box that man has opened.

dinate its desires It viii gradually siougn

trains from political discussions Y any

tied right. IL Is the bankers OF the country,
ard the Bankers Magazine naturally re-
fleets their sentiments Yet this Is what
this conservative authority has to say up
on The subject:
The great deficiency In revenue which
has been the rule since 1888, tbs difficulty
IN reforming the tariff SO as 10 increase
ehIg revenue with fairness 20 the industries
OK the country. are adequate reasons Why
the first energies OF the extra session
should have been exclusively devoted 70
this great subject-nor ought purely politi-
cal reasons 20 be decried- Whatever may
be said. the country can only be r1lsd sf-
fectIvely and wisely BY a certain reconcilia-
ton OF political differences. and il is rea-
sonabIs that men in power, who have at
tanned eminence by means OF their devo-
ton 10 the art Of making these reconc4lla-
tons. should kn0w something OF what IS
necessary 70 do 10 gain uajorities for any
particular measure
'@rhe principle OF the present adrninistra-
ton appears to have been to devote its
energies 70 one important question at q
time. his Principe mas Deem carried on
with success in regard 10 the tariff. and
when the currency question takes its turn
& is 10 be hoped that IL viii be prosecuted
10 a satisfactory conclusion with equal
energy and tact.
IN regard 70 attaining the result of a
satisfactory currency reform, K Is well 20

the politicians are likely TO be the wiser
The men composing the administration are
doubtless in earnest IN their desire 10 salts
fy the popular demand for an Improvement
in the financial law that Will bring about
prosperity and guarantee its pernanence.
They know better. perhaps, than any one
else. the extent and force Of this demand.
They have seemed anxious to learn from
those who did understand the subject the
best and most practical way Of meeting it,
AS 20 the preliminary steps necessary 70
gain the power 10 put those plans into exc
cution they must know better than those
who have not engaged so seriously In the
art Of politics.
Therefore. there are many sufficient rea-
sons why the apparent delay In approach
ing the subject may be the wisest course.
and also why the approach by means of a
commission may, Notwithstanding many
objections that are obvious. be an frnpor-
tant and feasible way OF gaining the end
in view. The hesitation shown In sending in
the message recommending a commission.
was in itself an indication of the political
difficulties surrounding the subject"
