LETTER
Written to Members Of

BY the President, Rev. Chas. E. Keller
Better Attendance Required.

Charles Edward Keller, president OF
the Economic League has issued the
following circular letter:
.iThis letter is the result of confer
ence with some of our members, and
especially with committee recently
appointed. Its mission is to quicken
to widen the field of influence through
an enlarged membership, and finally to
reach that wider circle who are con
cerned about the great questions now
engaging the thought and attention of
the American people.
1STo the Members: The papers read
before our League have been Of an ex-
ceptionally high order, r,-such as those
who think, would enjoy Many of the
addresses evidenced a mastcrful grip
Of the subject. We have every reason
to believe that those who are yet to
discuss the topics assigned will not
lower the standard Of scholarship. We
therefore feel justified In promising
that all who regularly attend the
League will receive profit.
This is not only true but you owe
something to those with whom you
voluntarily associated yourself--you
may help them. Not % per cent. of
the members have attended regular
meeting. We have lacked the inspira-
tion which comes FROM numbers.
Do not forget that we meet every al
ternatc Tuesday evening in G. A. Il.

kidneys. The kidneys are the filters

their actual functions, the clement

They fought their last battle,

They fought their last battle,
No sound shall wake them to glory again.
The day is not for them; it is for the
living, 10 gather inspiration for the com
ing day. The day should bring new
lessons 1t should teach to the living.
that life yielded in defence Of principle
is good seed. 1t should recall that the
graves of those soldiers we honor are for
the greatest part the grave Of the com
mon man, the soldier of the ranks, who
on camp or picket, did his full duty.
who carried his musket, heavy KNAPP
sack, and cartridge belt, with his five
days ratiOns of crackers and bacon TN
flinchingly; who, whether digging
trenches or defending them did his full
duty, wind, rain or sun. These graves
OF the common soldier are regarded to-
day as the solid and enduring corner
stones Of a great nation; the monuments
that the thrOes of nation have left to
mark an age Of valOr and fidelity. These
men were tempted and tried, but they
did their full duty and reached the
heights. The message of the day is,
that the inspiration Of their conduct
should reach the living. Peace has her
victories 10 less than war Civic duty
requires heroism no less than military
duty So long as there is iniQuity in
high places, SO long as there are starving
children III the sodden courts of our cit
les, so long as there is corruption in leg

room for more purity in our primaries /;
50 long as there is an opportunity for
men in quiet heroism, with steadfast
purpose to do their full duty.
The end Of the century is closing The
virgin page Of new era is unfolding.
Humanity, choked with the sobs Of the
ages, looks to the future for greater
ameliOration than the world has yet
seen. IF we do our full duty as well as
did those silent dead, that hope shall be
fulfilled. That government that regards
first and always the welfare Of all the
people shall not fail in it's promise to
humanity, but shall endure; and among
the mighty the welfare Of Lincoln's great
common people. shall be paramount al
ways; even unto the day when the mighty
angel, standing with one foot upon the
land and one upon the seas, shall declare
time to be no more.

WOMAN'S TEARS, IDLE TEARS.
Modern Goddess Is No Longer Weep
ing Niobe.

What has become of woman's tears,
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor
lately remarked in the hearing of a
woman that he wondered what had be-
come OF all the crying members of her
sex. He said that he had not seen a
woman cry i'll some years, and that, Sc
far as he could see, there are Just as
many things to cry over as as there
ever were, and just as many women.
He did not object to the absence of
tears; he only wondered about it.
This thing has received attentions
of various kinds before now. 1t was
first noticed in the novels. The young
woman in modern fiction does not do
nearly so much weeping as she used
to do. To be sure, she has not always
SO much excuse for it. When young
lady was carried away by fierce ana
determined lover whom she did not
want, and told that unless she married
him at once her family and all her
immediate friends would be killed,
there was really a considerable excuse
to1 tears and swoons on her part.
This type of heroine flourished in the
beginning Of the present century. She
was followed by the heroine, who cried
as child does, to get something she
Wanted-and usually got it, if it hap
pened not to be the moon or anything
equally unattainable.
Sometimes she was a young lady of
religious predictions and shed tears
over the sorrows of others, or over her
own religious sentiments 1t has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine of
The Wide, Wide World, must have
shed at least five gallons, two quarts
and one pint of tears in the course of
her adventures in two volumes. But
the young lady in the modern work OF
fiction does not cry. If she is of a
passionate nature she now and then
bursts into a storm of sobs," but she
does not often do it, as old-fashioned
people would say, before folks" She
is more likely to preserve calm and
more or less uncomprehended silence.
Another type of modern heroine is
the CHEEKY girl who endures all her
tribulatons in silence, or laughs about
Them and is the sunshine of the fam
lily circle while her heart is secretly
breaking. 1t must be confessed THAI
this type of young lady would be con.
siderably more to the taste of the ord
mary man than the old-fashioned type
of fearful patience. The mans wo-
gay, tolerant and
reserved as to her private feelings-is
coming to the front in fiction, and this
ideal is decidedly worth studying by
the novel-reading girls of today
