PREACHING AND PRACTICE.

In one of his somewhat numerous con- tributions to the literature of the day MT. Roosevelt used this language:
 The man who debauches our public life, whether by malversation of funds in of- ice, by the actual bribery of legislators or by the corrupt use of the ofiices as spells wherewith to reward the unworthy or vicious for their noxious and interested activity in the baser walks of political being as Q nation than is even the de- faulting cashier of a bank or the be- trayer of a public trust.
 That is well and truthfully put, and no one could say 1t better. There can be no greater enemy to our government, our in- stitutions and our national character than is the man who uses his money to cor- rupt our politics or our laws. It is a practice which strikes at the very root of pure government and nullifes the ef- forts of good men to elevate the national character.
 And vet the man who wrote those ex- cellent sentiments and who is now Presi- dent of the United States comes out as the friend and virtual coadjutor of Ad- dicks one of the most corrupt politicians in the Union, a man who admits that ne has spent not less than quarter Of million dollars corruptly in his efforts 10 control Delaware politics, and who Is recognized all over the Union as past master in the art of debauching politics and legislatures. There is hardly a Re- publican newspaper of any standing in the Union today which supports or de- fends Addicks or condones his methods Just how the President can reconcile his support of Addicks with the opinions ex- pressed in the extract above quoted is one of the mysteries of politics.

This was the secret of his success. In
1880 he introduced the celebrated blue
willow ware" which has been the most
popular design ever produced for cera-
mic decorations. 1t hit the taste of
the highly educated and the uneducated
masses in general. 1t had an unpre-
cedented run for over sixty years, and
has been made ever since. Turner is
said to have made the first full set of
printed ware in England. He made
many other styles that were admired
and popular. Hundreds of potters did
the same. They have had their day
and have dropped out, while the blue

by countless millions, and probably will
be down to the end of time. No other

were controlled by the logic of the
case, when as a matter of fact they
were controlled by the personal ele-
ment which gave tone and color to all
they heard and saw.
THAT same difference of thought and
life exists to this day. Much that the
South calls conservatism, the North
calls stupidity; while much that the
North looks upon as enthusiasm and
enterprise the South regards as coarse
ness and impertinence. 1t is easy to
see, then, how a union between the
Northern church, with 5000, 900 mem
bers, and the Southern, with 100000,
would be productive of friction, and
the coming of the millennium some
what delayed by this marriage of con-
venience.
Two Sets of Facts and Theories.
Each section has its own peculiar
set of facts with which it has to deal,
while each has a theory of the others

actual practice. For instance know

Time May Come But Not Yet.
"In the meantime much can be done,
and is being done for mutual better

Sublime Grandeur of
Books of the Bible.

One of the truths that modern
western civilization seems only too
willing to forget is that it owes its
highest poetry to the Jews-that there
is nothing in all literature at present
recognized by us so sublime as Esaias,
so natural, sweet and pathetic as
Ruth, so splendid as the Apocalypse.
says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Whether. these great things are in the
unequaled prose of the King James
version or in the sonorous phrases of
the Douai, their essential poetic
qualities remain and they cannot dis
appear, even under the disfgurements
of ''The Revised Version"-even,
may add further-the French para
phrases cannot kill them.
TIE book of Job, that epic of human
triumph over suffering, that assertion
of the will to believe and love in spite
of all, that proof that the divine can
conquer the human heart through the
affection of the human heart, is
greater, as literature, than the books
of Homer or Dante. Sophocles or Mil
ton. The voice of God, choosing the
poetry of the Jews, spoke through the
words of men, but were these words

not raised immeasureably above all
other men through the divine breath
they would still stand alone, seminal
and potent One of the properties of
great poetry is that it is as seed for
new life, and the greater it is, the
more life giving properties it has. And
if the test of vitalization and stimula-
ton be applied to the sacred books
they certainly lead all other books.
The literary quality of the Bible is
not the same all through, nor is it
always so high as it is in Esaias; in
Job, in Ruth, in the Apocalypse, or in
the parallels of our Lord, or in some
parts of the epistles of St. Paul, but
it is permeative and many times so
magnificent that the great Greeks
seem faded beside 1t, and Dante.
Calderon and Milton appear to be
mere echoes. The Bible made old

Saxon Beowulf, what is there in Caed-
man, in Cynewulf and Bacda but re-

Chicago Man MarrieS
With a Dog License.

Acting as bridegroom, clergyman,
best man and witness, John Ryan, of
Chicago, married his wife with a dog
license, and then explained the differ
ence in the appearance of the docu-
ment from the document which she
had received and had framed when
she had been married to her first hus-
band in Germany, on the basis that
they do things differently in America.
On the same basis, he said, cere-
mony before priest or a justice of

wife trusted where she loved-and got
the mete of all women.
Recently Mrs. Ryan-or Mrs. Mar

How the Cities Grow.

The calendar year 1901, according to
a recent report of the United States
geological survey, was the greatest in
the history of the country in city build
ing. Forty-two cities submitted re-
ports to the department in response to
inquiries and these showed that the
total number of permits issued in
those cities was S5,571, as against
6S,417 for 1900, a gain of 11,154, or
25.07 per cent. The value of the build
ings erected on these permits in 1901
was 1912, ,173, ,631, compared with $241,-
$751; ,5S5 in 1900, a gain of $3.50. 657, ,046,

wagon at the moment when Mr.. Ryan
was telling the driver where to go.
She threw herself upon her spouse
with fond entreaties and lamentations,
and Mr.. Ryan called policeman to re-
move her. The policeman asned him
who she was, and Mr.. Ryan said he
didn't know; hadn't the faintest idea;
had never seen her before.
At this Mrs. Ryan set up such &
screaming and wailing that the police
man made short work of it by taking
them both to the station, where they
were locked up on a charge of disor-
derly conduct. At the trial Mr.. Ryan
declared he had never married the
woman, and that he only occupied a
room in her fiat as lodger.
Mrs. Ryan declared that he had
married her with license. This was
found to have been a dog license.
The case was dismissed and Mr..
Ryan did not return to his home. Mrs.
Ryan says she will carry the case to a
higher court to assure herself of her
social standing, but that she will have
nothing further to do with Ryan.
