portunity TO vent their spleen upon the sys-

years past that the friends of civil service
reform are never made anxious by the
somersault of the House, for they realize
that even if the foolish work done in COM
mittee of the whole were not reversed by
the whole House later the Senate would IN

remote chance of the failure of the Senate
TO attend to the detail the civil service law

Happy Marriages.

a Yale lecturer on social science has just
declared 10 his classes that 30 per cent of
all marriages nowadays are unhappy In
their results, and that the marriage cere-
monies should be simplified so that persons
intending matrimony should merely go be-
fore witnesses and declare their intentions
1t is no wonder that these strange senti-
ments. as the dispatches state caused a
marked sensation among the students The
lecturer haG laid down the premise that
the average young man of today considers
marriage as the natural and inevitable con-
ditiop of life and chooses a help-mate with

ideal and its realization. The consequence.
according to the social science thinker, is

not attain the true state of welded bliss
and the divorce courts do the rest Not

easier by simplifying the forms and thus
remove even the present slight barrier be-
tween celibacy and matrimony II he would

Is there a President in Mr. Macrum?
This is not to ask if Mr.. Macrum is himself
Presidential quantity. But has he con-
cealed about his person anywhere proof of
his assertion of the existence of a secret
alliance between the United States and
England? OF course, he must produce the
proof, or his statement goes for nothing.
Great as We're his opportunities at Pretoria

his own country and England. and rare as
his talents have been shown to be for solv
ing difficult problems. the times are such
that even such man as he must have
proof and must produce it. And the proof
produced must prove. We are on the eve of
a presidential election, and while .'oodlings''
of accusations will be in order and will be
forthcoming. only those which well
drawn. and are at least probable. will be
effective.
One cannot but think of what the effect

Ohio campaign. Mr.. Mclean. it will be re-

The voters listened, but were not con-
vinced They were so little impressed in
deed that Secretary Hay was able to dis
pose of the yarn in a very few words of
denial. But suppose that when the din
was loudest Mr.. Macrum had presented
himself. hot from Pretoria, travel-stained,
and exuding indignation at every pore.
What boon he would have been to Mr..
McLeani How beautifully his loyalty to
his party and his personal fondness for the
President would have been set forth along

the ideals bred in the atmosphere of classic
evolution. Indeed, 1t may well be ques-
toned whether in his ardor to impress a
group of students with startling dogma,
this professor of social science has not ex-
aggerated the situation, as is often the case
with theorizers who can neither be sup
ported nor refuted by statistics. Exact fig
ures of the happiness of homes are. of
course, utterly impossible Exact definition
of unhappiness in the marriage relation is
likewise impossible. 1t is therefore unfor-
tunate that this solemn announcement
should be given the apparent authority of
an academical statement, while all palpable
evidence is that the human family is salts
factorily married, and only needs a more
uniform law regulating marriage and d.
vorce to sustain and advance an already
high standard of matrimonial fidelity and
happiness. If this be a sample of the
present drift of the higher education the
general plea will be for return to perhaps
lower but assuredly safer lines of human

In this month the manufacture and sale
