WHOSE OK. ("

Some years ago says the Toms River
Courier, big howl went up at L4,e-
wood because number of half grown
boys INDUCED in baseball ON Sunday.
The good people of that resort were
Mortified, and the offenders were
straightway hailed before the nearest
justice of the Peace, and threatened
with dire punishment if they didn't quit.
But see how times are changed. First
came Sunday golf, then Sunday polo,
and now, if the Citizen is correctly in
formed, Sunday horse racing for $1,000
purse.
1t evidently makes difference wheth-
er it is Mr. Gould and others of the rich
visitors or barefooted. ragged boy who
plays on Sunday.

posed that hereafter places shall be
given to married men only, in order
that the supply of men may be
maintained. The Chicago Times
Herald takes advantage of this to
reiterate the saying that preachers
sons are always the worst. 1t says:
Here in America, however, this
tendency of the sons of preachers to
win enviable renown is not gener-
ally noticeable. Indeed, it has been
the exception rather than the rule
for the sons of preachers-or of
country preachers at least-tO ex-
hiblt evidences either of careful
training or inherited greatness. Not
infrequently the worst boy in town
is the preachers boy and it some
times happens that, while the good
man is exhibiting to the congrega-
ton the wisdom of keeping the
Sabbath day holy, his son is out
somewhere stealing peaches or try
ing to break colt whose owner
has gone away with the family to
the house of worship.
Without statistics, but relying
upon observation for a number of
years, we unhesitatingly assert that
this statement is untrue. 1t should
be remembered that the sons of
preachers are watched more closely
than the sons of other people, and
are subject to severe criticism, CEN
seriousness usually. Consequently
what is not noticed in other boys is
remarked in them. They are held
to a standard no one else is judged
by, and where there is one black
sheep, he counts for a thousand. In
spite of this, we assert that, as a
rule, the sons of preachers compare
favorably with others, if, indeed,
they do not rank higher in every
respect. Examine the record of
those who have become eminent in
law, medicine, politics. business,
and you will find an unusually large
proportion of preachers sons, while
in the ranks of the ministry much
more than a majority will be found.
If it were not for the preachers
sons, the theological seminaries
would not have respectable classes.

The accumulation of large fol-

The accumulation of large for
tunes was one of the conspicuous
features of the last quarter of the
nineteenth century. The crrbing,
or control, of these vast fortunes
will be the problem of the first
quarter of the twentieth century.
A spirit of restlessness is making
itself felt throughout the country,
not so much on the part of compar-
atively poor people as on the part
of the moderate millionaires who
feel that their rights and interests
are being encroached upon by the
men who control many millions
When the small millionaires unite
with the great mass of people
whose possessions amount to only
thousands, the power of the big
millionaires may be made the sub
ject of restrictive legislation.-South
Bend Times.

Awful Slaughter of Deer.

Game Warden Morse declares that
1900 deer were slaughtered in Michi-
gan during the last season. Records of
shipment show that 5000 deer were
sent from the upper peninsula across
the straits. More than 80 per cent. of
the 1900 were fswns. TO protect the
deer of the state, Warden Morse will
recommend q law absolutely prohibit
ing the sale or giving away of deer.
This will contine the sport to the fsmi-
lies that consume the venisOn and to
hunters who are genuine sportsmen.
He will also recommend that each
hunter be restricted to two deer, one
doe and one buck. The killing of
fawns will be prohibited.
