brought. Free speech, free press, free
pulpit, and majority rule have led us
safely along to the present. The wild
est theorists have been able to expend
their energies in talk instead of being
repressed and forced to supposed mar
tyrdom And each and all of them has
had the f1ickering light of a majority
dancing along ahead and keeping them
out of mischief Also, those who have
had no theories have been just content
to live and move under happy condi-
tions, though repression and injustice
might under other circumstances have
transformed their sweet content into
the vitriol of revolution. Human ma
ture is very similar wherever we go.
The blood is red beneath the darkest
skin. The heart can feel though the
language is strange. If, therefore, IN
our new possessions we grant the re-
forms that are needed if we deal fairly
with poor trembling wretches whose
souls will rejoice at the faintest gllm-
mer of rights we shall have no serious
difficulties with them. Successful ad-
ministration in such a case and in
practically all cases Ca lesson Europe
is slow to learn consists in doing jus
tice and showing religious liberation.
Just men and upright in public posi-
tions at every point we control will be
mightier for peace and for success than
the most imposing army we can gather
together. In fact, let it be said, we
doubt the propriety of the United
States taking any outside territory if
there is to be reliance on mere physical
force for its retention. We have not
been brought up with such weak, boil
stored, crutched ideas of government.
This is not quixotic and visionary
1t is the purest of national good sense.
The quiXotic thing is belief in the
physical repression of a people. The
discontented never yet learned to be
contented by being further outraged.
Our own Indian experience ought to
have taught US this. If our Congress

fiective demands for the control of our

original wedding ring than any other
ring which she wears. But she still
calls it her wedding ring, and her we'd
ding ring is always in the latest fasn-
ion. Whether she does this entirely for
the reason that she cannot bear to wear
anything out of date even in jewelry, or
whether she wishes to appear a bride.
or whether she imagines that it will
help her to appear younger than she
really is, is a mystery. She herself IS
scandalized at the very idea that any
one will insist upon wearing an old
fashioned wedding ring, and expresses
great disgust with any woman who al
lows herself to be out of fashion in this
matter. Quite a discussion took place
the other day, between her and another
woman who had romantic ideas con-
cerning her ring and had never allowed
it to be removed from her finger since
it was placed there by her husband
during the marriage ceremony, consid-
ering it a sacred emblem, too precious
TO be removed even for moment. The
frivolous woman, however. is not ut
terly devoid of the proper sentiment
about this important ring, or she would
put it away in her jewel casket ana
buy new wedding ring with each new
style. 1t would cost less money than
to have the old one done over.

Matters went on in this way until one day last May Mrs. Nielsen went to her husband and told him that she loved an- other, that the other was Elias Ruud, and that it was impossible for her to live without him. In every way Nielsen tried to show his erring spouse the evil of her way, but without avail. When he told told him she had higher duty. and that was the duty toward herself. Finally husband and wife agreed to part, the wife receiving from her husband $500 and all the household furniture
 Acting upon the advice of Ruud Mrs Nielsen invested $200 in a little stationery store at the Mission. She continued in business but for two weeks, and then turned over to Mrs. Ruud the shop and the furniture she had received from Niel- sen. After signing over this property to left for Tacoma.
