OLD TIME REFLECTIONS.

Some sage one said "the world do
move"and his ungrammatica1 expression
year after year becomes more a%ppropri-
ate. Another philosopher announced
that the present generation has been
''either born too soon or too late for
the real enjoyments which should be-
long to mankind.
Our grandfathers. parties Of tie first
part, had bootjacks. We. parties of the
second part, have chafng dishes. Both
parties during their lives listened to the
feline chorus on the backyard fence az
ter dark But the parties of the first
part were blessed with a proper weapon
for routing the chorus. They lived at
the proper time but the parties of the
second part live too late. They can not
resort to the chafng dish as the bomb
shell in the ~catlaager. Once upon a time
there was an herb for every i'll. Now
there are a score of remedies for each
ailment flesh is heir to and if a party
of the second part becomes even indis-
posed he is on the borders of prostra-
ton trying to choose a panacea- There
was the old original game of "shinney"
which was ~outgrown in time for a per-
son to get married. Now it is "shinney'''
and then polo and you graduate from
that to golf and both you and your wife
play the game. You are not eve to
have the pleasure of currying your
horse before breakfast but instead you
are gummed up with gasoline and oil
getting the automobile ready for the
trip to the office and then you spend all
day settling damage suits.
It used to be that if your wife did not
play the piano you could forego the ex-
pense and pleasure of a piano forte but
now if o choose a mate who cannot
wen grind a ~handorgan you have to
buy a piano and an automatic player at
an additional expense. But the future
holds good promise in store. There will
be no swearing at the ice man for you
will get your liquid air frozen in ounce
bottles at the drug store. There will al
so come a time when you may be sure
that If you are driving with your best
girl and trying to avoid ice cream par
lors because o have not a cent in your
pocket that you will not meet an ice
cream wagon canvassing the county.
There is no promise of tax collectors
being annulled. That would mean the
millennium.

WHY Laws CAN BE ENFORCED.

The law breaker is essentially a
coward. Against him is arrayed all the
organized forces of society. He knows
this before he commits a crime and the
natural consequence is h he fears the
result Of his wrong doing.
This has been especially exemplifed in
Topeka recently. The city was filled
with Joints and the remark heard on
all sides was that it was useless to try
to enforce the prohibitory law. The
jointist is a law breaker and he knows
it and when he faunts his business in
the public face it means that something
has occurred to bolster up his courage.
What that was in Topeka is simply a
matter of conjecture.
One day the mayor was aroused and
he ordered the police to close the places
where liquor was being sold with more
or less publicity. The men behind the
bars who had been announcing that
they were not afraid. because the law
could not be enforced, fairly fell over
themselves in an effort to go out of
business. In less than a week after the
order had been promulgated not a pub
lie drinking place was left in the city.
The jointist is afraid. All the forces
of the municipal machinery are against
AAAA 840 an AACNS NA0t AC may NC
ground to pieces if he persists in in
fringement. The law makes him a
coward and if he were not a coward he
would be in jail.
The experience in Topeka proves con-
clusively hat the prohibitory law can
be enforced. All that is required is Off
Gals with back bone who mean bust
ness" 1t also prove that there is grave
reason to suspect that there has been
some secret arrangement between this
class of law breakers and officials. If
not why a they been so bold and
why have they conducted their business
in spite of the protests of a large por-
ton OF the community? These are
questions that might inspire some in
teresting answers.

OF WOMAN.

The athletic girl occupies an import
ant position in society. A few years ago
her prescribed exercise consisted of a
prim little walk each day with an oc-
casional game of croquet, which was
he nearest approach to an athletic
sport permitted our grandmothers n
their youth.
The girl Of today often excels her
brother in athletics. Her favorite sports
are golf, tennis, basket ball and BIZ
cycling. She may be seen taking an
early morning spin, starting off for a
five mile tramp in the country or ira
versing the golf links, attired in her
jaunty short skirt, shirt waist and
sailor hat. The out door exercise gives
her a healthy tan and she crows strong
and hardy.
There are some persons. however, old
fashioned enough to think that athletic
sports of any kind make girls rough in
their manner, but this is a mistaken
idea; because some girls who possess
uncouth manner indulge in athletics,
all sorts are condemned by the narrow
minded.
The girl who shares her brothers
sports gains a healthier view of life by
the association. She is apt to receive
some arc knocks which will only make
her more enduring for she is ashamed
to let her brother see that she is weaker
h he. Her brother is also benefited
by sharing his sports with his sister.
The athletic girl is sought after in
society; her out OF door exercise makes
her 1.-THE and graceful and she excels in
dancing. She is also apt to possess a
keen Of the humorous and an
abundance Of vitality which goes so far
towards making her a charming COM
panion.
The girl of today would pursue ath-
letics ven more zealously if she re-
allied the extent to which her populari-
ty both in the home and In society
would be increased by SO doing.

VISITATION OF DIVINE WRATH

Several months ago the Rev. E. E.
Dixon. a preacher in charge of the East
Stroudsburg Methodist church in Penn
s~ylvania, prayed that God would strike
with lightning the new big brewery
then being erected in the town. On
Tuesday last an electrical current from
the skies lid launc down on the OBJ
ject of the good mans wrath. And now
Mr. Dixon thinks he did it.
The bolt, however, did not destroy
h brewery or even seriously injure
the plant, but it stunned a couple of
u-nregenerate sons of Belial working
about the place and nearly killed two
little children of a Congregational min
lister across the way who happened to
be playing in the uncompleted build
ing.
The fight against the erection of the
liquor factory in the little town by the
religious people had beer very bitter,
and when Mr.. Dixon heard Of the dis
asteI he shouted: Now, Lord, if it be
thy will, let the rest GO"
About w weeks ago a church build
ing in C~herryvale, Kansas, was hit by
lightning and totally demolished, the
flames quickly destroying it. 1t is not
recorded that any owner of a saloon
or brewery prayed that the church
should be destroyed because its inhu-
ence was harmful to the liquor inter
ests. In fact, there are no breweries
in C~herryvale, and should be no saloons
if the laws are properly enforced.
Mr.. Dixon congratulates himself on
the results of his eastern efforts
towards securing divine assistance in
destroying the rum power. How does
he account for the destruction of the
Kansas church by the same mysterious
power? Is it Divine Providence?
It is said that the prayers of the
righteous availeth much, and this is
not doubted when the petitions are
temperate and just, but there is a
strong difference of opinion as to the
nature of the ~suppliance hat should be
sent to the throne of grace. Humanity
is weak and prone to err, and it is to
be supposed that pastors are only
human and no exception to the general
rule in this respect. 1t will ever be a
question, however, how far divine inter
ference goes with matters earthly. Many
bright divinity students assert that
prayers of the nature of the Pennsyl-
vania pastor are i'll advised and not ac-
cording to the spiritual doctrine; also
that appeals to the Lord for grace to
aid in fighting this enemy of homes and
men Of weak determination are to be
commended but prayers after the man
ner of the one in question are very
doubtful wisdom indeed. A much better
plan would be to labor with the con-
gregation to aid in passing strong pro-
hibitory laws and seeing to their en-
forcement.
God moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform and it is not to be
even charged that two different strokes
of lightning emanating from the same
source would destroy a brewery dedi-
Gated to harm and a church dedicated
to God.
The Reverend Mr.. Dixon is vain
glorious and his judgment is poor. Such
action does little good for the cause OF
Christianity which should be held
sacred as wen worshiped.

OUR GROWING EXPORT TRADE.

The growth in expectation Of manu-
features continues to be the most strik-
ing feature Of the marvellous export
trade of the Unaed States, which in the
9 months ending with March, 1900, reach
ed the unprecedented sum of $1,053, $780,
$50, and thus promises to be fully one
billion, 300 million dollars in the fiscal
year which ends 90 days hence. OF this
large expectation, more than 80 per cent
was manufactures, against &c per cent
in the corresponding months of the
fiscal year 1889 and % per cent during
the same months of the fiscal year 1898.
For the month of March alone the ex-
ports of manufactures amounted to $44,-
767, 139, which is far greater thar the
total for any preceding month in our
history. that Of March, 1899, being $685.
100. 231. March, 1898, SOS, PA, $40, March,
1897, SIS, s74.4 69, and for March. 1896,
$19,125,7 25, the exports of manufactures
in March, 1900, being thus more than
double those Of March, 1896, only 4 years
earlier.
For the 9 months ending with March,
1900, h exports of manufactures were
1913, 27s. 66S. against $163, 1877, 935 for the 9
months ending with March, 1896, the
total for the entire period having nearly
1910 - a. AAACs ~ NAC 81 &c
year it now seems probable that the
total exports of manufactures will con-
siderably excel 400 million dollars,
while the total for. the fiscal year, 1899,
was 1888, Z 1885,, for 1897, $277. 2S5, 391, and
for 1895 but $1S3, 595, 743.
This increase is found in almost every
important line of manufactures. Scien-
tific instruments show an increase in the
9 months in question of from $S,071, 75S
to $4,750, 474; fiber manufactures in
creased from 81, 901. 165 to SS.O49. 1851;
chemicals, from 81, 959, 31S to S9.674,7 100;
paraffine, from S5.O5O.57S to $6.S74.6 53;
agricultural implements, from 1852, 53S
to 80, 663, 1877; leather and manufactures
of, from ST., OOS. S96 to $40, 723,432; copper
from S26, 644, 1857 to $40, 59S, 399, and iron
and steel, from $67, PIP, 6O5 to sS6, 912,155.
Thus iron and steel, despite the enor-
% advance in price and despite the
prediction made when the increase be-
gan that this advance in price would
reduce expectations, continue to head
the list of manufactures exported and
will surpass by more thar 20 million dol
lars the figures of last year
and show a total considerably greater
han 100 million dollars for the years
export rad in that single line Of man
ufacture.

In a city like Topeka nothing is i'm

minds that a thing must be and it can
not fail. For years a few individuals
said that Topeka could never build an

The same tales of woe are now heard
with reference to the proposed Santa
Fe shop improvements. People are

may cost, because the people have said
that we must. Topeka is nothing if not

RIGHT OF A JUSTICE.
Question Whether He May Accept
Cash Bond Argued.

The question of the right of a justice
of a peace to accept cash instead of a
certified bond is involved in a suit
which was argued in the supreme court
Friday.
w. O.. App1egate of Thomas county
was arrested charged with violations of
the p~rohibitory law. He put up $500 in
the hands of the justice Of the peace as
security for his appearance for trial.
Later he was arrested and tried on an
other charge and convicted. He then
demanded the return of the $500 held
by the justice as a bond.
The justice declined to return the
money. The district court rendered a
verdict in favor of Apologize and or
dered the justice to return the money,
holding that the justice had no right to
accept the cash as q bond
The court of appeals reversed the dis
trict court and from the decision the
present appeal has been taken.

rounded off the inaugural by
taking an oath to support and defend

does not extend to Porto Rico at all.

The last report received at Washing
ton from Capt. Leary. indicates that
the governor Of Guam would be entire
" happy if he had an ice making plant.
This is something that the governor has
asked for early and often and moreover
seems to have earned it. He has done
much commendable work during his
administration. He has caused larse
numbers Of the people to marry, thus
bringing treasure into the public cof-
fers in payment for licenses. Although
he has established telephone lines and
other improvements he has money left.
Justice n fairness demand that an ice
plant be sent to the governor at once.
