Should Not Consider Financial End

Should Not Consider Financial End
Young man. said DR.. Bristol, never
bother your head about the financial end
OF the question. Never marry woman
because she is wealthy. Money. and not
love, is often the inspiration to mar
riages, but it generally ends with two
lives being wrecked.
Never let the financial end be para
mount when you are considering the
question of marriage. Never say you can
not afford 10 marry. The man who says
he cannot afford to marry is a coward. If
a man can support himself in the TWEEN
tieth century style he can support
wife As a single man, he must not only
support himself, but he must support the
cigar store, the saloon, the baseball field,
the theatre. the dance halls, and an un-
told number of other things, which, when
he is married he is exempt from.
An Easy Problem.
ut is much easier problem to support
a home than it is to support either sa-
loon, a cigar store. baseball field, or a
theatre Let the young man who is draw
ing a salary CT $500 or 81 eco try it, and
see which he will prefer to support.
Many a man has said, 1 never began
saving money until l was married.
wife is not only the inspiration to save
money, but oftentimes It is the beginning
of grand and great life. Look to nine
tenths of our great men, not only of to-
day, but of earlier times, and see how
many tell us that their wives were the
inspirations of their great works.
Good Women Cornerstones of Success.
Good women, not only as wives, but as
mothers, are the cornerstones of success.
Look to our Washington, our Lincoln. our
Grant, our Jefferson, and our Mckinley.
Wendell Philips. one of the greatest
of American statesmen. before he left
home to make the greatest speech of his
life, kissed his invalid wife goodbye. AS
he did so she said, Wendell, don't shilly
shally tonight.
When he walked to the front of the
platform and faced that large audience he
remembered the words OF his wife. Wen

numbers added to the programme.

Nit der Freud?' Both pieces were pre-
sented with proper feeling and fine ef-

The Commoner today says:
"The appointment of Gov.
Shaw to the place made vacant by
the resignation of Secretary Gage
is evidence of Roosevelt's purpose
to let financiers have their way in
conducting the Treasury Depart
ment. If there is anything bad in
finance that Shaw has not indorSed
it is because the matter was not
brought to his attention. He has
been an ultra-gold man aud an
ultra advocate of the doctrine that
the Treasury Department should
be run according to the wishes of
Wall street. On the trust question
he is entirely in harmony with the
corporations.
At Il conference of Western
and Southern Governors, called to
consider the trust question he was

some FACINATING SPECULATION.
When These Times Come What About Audran
County's Towns?

III see by the papers that Il bus
mess firm in Topeka has ordered
twenty five automobiles for its
travelling statesmen and that here
after they will not go from town
to town by rail. but will travel i'll
automobiles" said 7. a. Wittcn,
in Kansas City the other day.
THAT suggests train of
thought that the sociologists seem
to have overlooked entirely he
continued. "I believe that it is
entirely probable that within the
next ten or fifteen wears the auto
mobile will revolutionizc social
conditions, the systems and meth
ods of transportation and will
make thruout the whole country a
network of almost perfect roads
built of macadam, asphalt and
perhaps steel.
"The general use of the automo-
bile for carrying passengers, mails,
freight, farm products aud par
cells will certainly make good
roads a necessity aud will force
them upon the country. With
good roads all local traffic, that is,
trips of 200 or 800 miles, will be
made by automobile, for within
the next year or two automobiles
i'll common use will travel from
/ twenty to forty miles an hour,
The increased demand for auto
mobiles will cheaper them, just as
the sewing machine has been
cheapened, so that any man OF
moderate means may own one.
ThOse who cannot have their own
automobiles will use public ones,
because they can he used when re
quircd instead of awaiting the reg.
ular time of railway trains, ant
this because they can 90 to any
desired point, while the train mus
follow its track. All this will ap
ply equally to local freighting.
FARMER MAY MARKET HIS OwN
CROPS.
with good roads and the au
tomobile, the farmer can haul his
own crops to market, even 100 ol
200 miles, as quickly as the rail
way would take them, loading at
his own fields or bins, unloading
at such points in the city as he
may wish, carrying his family a
long if he chooses, and bringing
back such goods rs he needs
This he will do either with his
own conveyance or by the public
freighter, but either way much
more chcaply than by railroad, be
cause of the numerous carriers,
and the small expense of opcrat'
ing the vehicles. Local traffic
thus being taken from the railway,
all local lines of railroad will be
abandoned. Only trunk lines vii
remain and they will be used only
for very heavy freight, on long
hauls and for travel aud the mails
This will force the railroads event
ually into the hands of the govern
ment

to have any business houses cX
