TRUE TO HUMANITY.

The whole world is looking at the
war in South Africa between the
British Empire and the Dutch Repup-
lies. Every morning, every afternoon
and. in the largest cities, every hour
of the day, news Of the war is pup
lished and eagerly read by millions.
The sympathies of the world are large
w with the Beers, but those sympa-
thies are not organized. They find no
expression and exert no influence. the
time will probably come in the not far
distant future when electricity carry
ING news and steam printing it and cir
culatinoiit over the entire globe will
produce so tremendous power OF
public opinion that every cause will
be decided before this tribunal.
\ distinguished American, the Hon.
Webste Davis. Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior. has lust returned from
South Africa where he has been on
visit of personal inspection similar to
the visit made by Senator Proctor. OF
Vermont, to Cuba before the outbreak
of the Spanish war. Mr.. Webster
Davis was so impressed by what he
saw in South Africa that he has re-
solved to go on the lecture platform in
the United States in behalf of the
Beers. Not desiring to make trouble
by reason of his holding high office
under our Government, he has for
warded to President Mckinley his
resignation as Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior. This is very remarka-
BILE performance, which cannot fail to
/. make n deep impression upon the Am
erican people. For man of Mr..
Davis character, intelligence and po-
litical influence to surrender high
office under the government i'll order
to make canvass of the country in
for liberty is probably the best evil
dence vet presented of the righteous
ness of the cause of the Beers.
Mr.. Davis says that two thousand
men and women, mostly women
whose male relatives were fighting at
the front, babe him good bye at the
station with tears rolling down their
cheeks and begged him to make
known in America their true condi-
ton. Mr.. Davis says that the faces OF
those women will haunt him forever,
l. In !
if he did not heed their appeals and
tell the American people the truth
about the struggle in Africa. AS the
best evidence of Christianity is pure
Christian life. so the best evidence of
the Justice of the cause of the Beers
is life of power and political infu-
ence surrendered by an eminent man
in order to plead their cause before
the world If many more men of this
kind go to South Africa and return
animated with this spirit, their voices
will be more powerful than the roar
of British guns.
Mr.. Davis action gives him a right
TO be heard. 1t will secure him a
hearing from the whole world and
what he says will be believed. We
may look for rapid growth of wide
spread sentiment favorable to the
termination of this war If this SEN
timent be sufficiently strong. Great
Britain will heed it. She will not dare
go contrary to the deliberate iudg-
ment and the sense of justice of the
whole civilized world.

WHY MANY HEELS ARE LOST.
Modern Machine PeSSinE on Shoes II
Not at All Conducive to
Long Wear.

"Have you noticed" asked the OBJ
servant man, according to the New
York Times, chow often one sees the
portions Of shoe heels scattered about
at the elevated road stations and other
places where a lift might easily be torn
off? | wonder what the reason is. In
the old days the heels of ones shoes
were the part that chung to the uppers
most closely. You newspaper fellows
are supposed to know everything
Just answer that conundrum.' The
writer could not, but a shoe dealer
could, and did, ''The reason said he,
sis because in these days of machine
made shoes the heels are fastened on
by machinery, as is every other part
of the shoe. Soft iron is used for the
nails instead of steel, as this is handled
more easily. When the lifts of the heels
have been fastened in place the nails
protrude. The shoes are then sent to
another machine, where they are
shaved off instead of being driven
home, as in the days when the work
was done by hand. The result is that
they are insecurely fastened, and if one
catches the heel Of his shoe against a
stair so that there is the least strain
on it it gives way and pulls off. The
moral is to have a set of steel nails
driven into the heels when you buy a
new pair of Shoes

EPISCOPAL DIVORCE LAWS.
Will the Church Adopt Them:-Bishop
Nicholson Favors the Proposed
Divorce CanOns

The question of adopting divorce
canons will come up at the forthcom-
ing general conference of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church and the subject
is already being thoroughly discussed.
with noticeable val lance of opinion
among the clergy and laity.
In a recent interview 10 The Mil
waukee Sentinel. Rev. II. X. ST
George, canon of All Saints cathedral,
said:
4 approve absolutely of the church
forbidding the remarriage of divorced
persons under any circumstances
whatever while one of the parties is
living. | think and hope these three
canons will be adopted. While the
church does not forbid the remarriage
of divorced persons, it can scarcely be
said to approve it. | would go even
farther ia the matter than is contem-
plated in the proposed canons. |
should not except from the ban the
innocent party in a divorce for the
cause of adultery. The laxity of our
tnarri tge laws and the growing 10
difference to the sanctity and respOn-
sibility of the marriage state is appall-
ingto lie thoughtful studenuof society.
If the family relations are not care
fully safeg arded the very foundation
of our so lal structure is threatened. :"
Bishop |. l.. Nicholson was out OF
the city, but Canon ST. George said
that his views were in accord with
those be eXpr. ssed. The bishop. he
said, was anxious to have the church
adopt stringent rules on this subject.
All four deputies elected to repre-
sent the Milwaukee diocese at the
coming conference were strongly in
favor of strict legislation on marriage
and divorce, said Canon ST. George.
They would doubtless heartily sup
port the three canons just drafted.
These deputies are DR.. w. w Webb,
of Kenosha; Rev. A. w. Darlington,
of GAINESVILLE, and Rev. Arthur Piper.

Rev. Charles S. Lester, rector of ST.

church needs any more rules regard
ing marriage or that the adoption of
The proposed canous would accomplish
any considerable good.
While | haven't carefully examin-
ed the proposed canors," he said |
don't understand that their adoption
would materially change the rules Of

AS they stand now the church rules

is still living. | believe these rules
are carefully lived up to-"
Attorney w. j. Turner said that he
considered it wise for the church to
enact some restrictive legislation on
marriage and divorce. 81 don'5, how
ever, fully approve" said he, ''of the
three proposed canons as they now
stand. | shouldn't forbid party who
secured a divorce on certain statutory
grounds from remsrrying. Divorces
are too easily obtained these days and
it is fit and proper for the church to
combat the evils arising from this
source"

HARD WINTER IS COMING.
Experienced WOOdsmen See Certain
Indications of an Unusually
Severe Season.

"All the signs in the woods" ex-
planned an experienced woodsiman to a
Washington Star reporter, point to a
very severe winter. though it may be a
short one The squirrels have already
begun laying away their winter store
of nuts. though in the immediate coun-
try around Washington the nuts have
not begun to fall to any great extent.
The crop of acorns. hickory and chest
nuts is unusually large this fall, some
trees that have come under my obser-
quantity they did last year. This is a
very reliable sign of a severe winter.
Another sign is the crop of persim-
mons, which is also extra heavy. The
few frosts that we have had have not
done much to ripen the persimmon
and many of them are yet green. My
observation conyinces me that these
though, of course, they are not recog-
nized as infallible by the authorities
on the subject. l think | have satisfied
my own mind ON the bearing the per-
Simmon has on the weather that is to
follow and that this is incontroverti-
BILE: If the persimmon ripens and falls
early the winter will be brief, but if it
holds on to the tree late into the fall
the winter is very liable to be late in
it's wind-up and severe while it prevails.
The animals are preparing for a cold
winter. and there are some reasons for
believing that they know what they
are about"
