"Courtship and Marriage"

Notwithstanding a raging snow
storm, large number of people
gathered at the high school building
Friday evening to listen to the first
lecture given under the auspices of
the High School Literary Society.
Rev. j. A. Mitchell, pastor of tho
Presbyterian church, was the speaker
and his subject was the old, old one
OF @Courtship and Marriage" The
exercises opened with solo by Miss
Lola SHETLAND, which was heartily
applauded. After the solo Attorney
Patterson introduced the speaker of
the evening. The lycturer began by
disabusing the minds of the listeners
that women were angels and that the
sterner sex were fit companions for
angelic society. He painted tho value
OF true woman as wife and moth
er IN glowing colors and gave the
lords OF creation many a hard rap.
The disconsolate old bachelor was
pictured in colors that many Of the
audience, and especially this scribe,
recognized. The lecture abounded
III good advice to those who are mar
ried and those who are contemplate
ing marriage. Many hint was
given how the petty quarrels and
family jars could be avoided. The
trlte sayings and brilliant thoughts
OF the lecturer kept the audience in
excellent humor. The lecturer closed
by reading one of Carl Pretzers love
letters that showed the folly of par
ents insisting that their daughters
should marry men with money in
stead Of those who we're poor but
honest and industrious. AS the lee.

plause swept around the room show
ing plainly that his efforts had been
appreciated.
In the course Of the lecture the
Elko orchestra played several selec
tons that we're highly appreciated.
The muoic was excellent, and the
members of the Literary Society re-
turn their thanks to the orchestra for
their generous assistance in making
the evenings entertainment a de-
cided success.

DISCIPLINE.

The events following the war were no,
particularly creditable to us as proof OF
Il national characteristic. The reputa-
ton of men who, if results count foi
anything, performed their part with hi9i
distinction, was at once made the sub
ject of attack We ceased to be patriot
and at once assumed the role of par
tisans.
The controversy between the friends
of Schley and Sampson is still raging
and growing bitter as it progresses. The
navy of whose achiev ements we were sc
justly proud appears now to be only i
fractional conglomeration.
1t is our detestable habit of informed
ding and prying which is responsible foI
this. Results should be accepted when
results are the things sought. The man
who after enjoying a good meal woulG
insist upon being informed of the detail
of It's preparation might learn something
through his prying which would not aiG
his digestion
mr. PARTISAN Eabit has grown to such
an extent that we institute a quarrel
over victory SO as 20 secure the credit fol
some favorite We lack the discipline
of centered purpose. 1t should be suffi
cient for us that our navy wiped on:
that of Spain without itself sustaining
any injury. No doubt there were indi
vidual acts which did not come up to the
standard of excellence TO which Che navy
AS whole attained, There is no doubt
that those who showed superior qualitie
had mixed with them several weaknesses.
Why look for defects when we can de
rive so much pleasure in contemplating
what is good?
That looseness of criticism and insta-
bility of purpose which we miscall in
dependence Is permeating our whole ma
tional life and is giving it "a most unde-
slrable feature. We want the discipline
which will not chafe at little things anG
which will assure unanimity in an emer-
Sency and not The encouragement Of
that spirit of hurried laudation or crit
cism OF those whose position makes them
readily the object of one or the otner.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

Interest in the Presidents message
conferred III the recommendations ht
should make regarding the Philippines
Although he has not changed his policy
he is less asserTive than formerly. A
protec torate is not to be thought of il
his estimation. He suggests that recon
startion should not begin by the es
tabliShment of one central civil authori
ty, but first municipal governments,
then provincial governments the forma.
ton of the central government to be the
last.
This is an excellent scheme if the
Filipinos are capable of self govern
ment, in which case we are intrud-
ers. Nothing could be better calcu-
lated to restore the confidence OF the ma
tiyes in the good intentions of our gov
eminent. But is it possible in view OF
the dangers apprehended by the Presi-
dent in the establishment of protector
ate or granting the natives their indie
pendencey His scheme necessitates a
military government and civil govern
ment never yet hourished under the
