THE MYSTERIOUS Burdick murder in Buffalo,
N. Y, is being made subject for discussion
in the pulpits of that city. On Sunday last
Rev. George Whitman, pastor of Fayette
Baptist Church, preached a sermon on ''Club
Life Versus Home Life" Among other things
he said: Recent events in our city here re-
vealed the gay irreligious life which many of
our more prosperous people live. There is
growing godlessness among many well-todo
persons. The type of depravity among per-
sons in the higher circles is often worse than
in the Sums of the city. This gay, goddess
way of living often manifests itself in what is
spoken of as club life. | admit that clubs
differ in their aims but believe that that
which is mechanically called club life is OPP
posed to the interests of the individual, the
church and the nation. A murder is COM
mitted in our city, and two divorce cases are
revealed. These have some relation to the
club life America is fast following in the
steps of the old Roman Empire. The home is
despised; children are an encumbrance;
poodle dog is of more value than a baby.
Wealth and pride consume the lfe-blood OF
the nation, and aristocratic weaknesses sap
our democratic vigor."
In speech at the State Democratic conven-
ton in Detroit on Tuesday Hon. William
Jennings Bryan paid his respects to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland in the following language
"They accuse me of saying hard things about
Cleveland. l never said anything about him
so hard as did President Mckinley, who said
Cleveland is trying to make money the master
and all things else the servant I am not
ashamed of any humble part may have had
in driving out of the Democratic party man
who tried to make money the master and any
thing else the servant. want him in some
other party than ours. would be glad to
help organize one for his exclusive USE" -e
INTHE Pennsylvania Legislature Mr.. Blumle,
of Cameron county, has introduced bill to
''subsidize large families and TO provide for
gold medals for mothers of large families"
The bill provides prizes ranging from $40 and
medal to cost $40 to $50, a $50 gold medal to
mothers of families ranging from 9 to Is chill
dren. The seventh son or daughter born with
in the State shall be educated at an expense to
the State not to exceed $500. The design of
the medals is to be furnished by the Governor.
The act shall not apply to any woman who
has been legally divorced or separated from
her husband. Mr.. Blumle is himself the
father of II children.
CONRAD N. JORDAN, assistant treasurer of the
United States at New York, who died few
days ago, was prominent i'll the financial de-
partment of the Government in Cleveland's
ha1 lad - IL oc
the time since. He was gold Democrat, who
supported Mckinley in 1896 and 1900. Politics.
however, had nothing to do with his appoint
ment by Mckinley. Jordan was a very USE
full man in his field. He was one of the best
trained financiers in the United States, and the
Republican administration was strengthened
by his selection.
WOMEN IN business need no defense on the
score of womanliness and marriage qualifica-
tions. Among the aristocracy of Europe it is
considered degrading for men to work. but diff
ferent ideas prevail in America. Useful and
honorable occupation for any human being
| can stand on its own merits.
THE PROPOSAL to nominate John Mitchell.
president of the United Mine Workers, for
Vice President on the Democratic ticket is a
characteristic piece of demagogy.
