Labor as a Moral Force.

There is belief among certain per
sons that children can be reared with
out labor. This is not so and can
never be SO. Women cannot sue
cessfully rear families by proxy. They
cannot turn over their children to
nurses, governesses and school teach
ers. Many women do this, however,
and society here and there gathers
the dragon teeth in the harvest of
crimes against society and moral laws.
Work is the greatest moral force in
moral laws. Work is the greatest
moral force in the world. Mothers
who desire to see their children
happy. to see them useful, to see them
worthy members of society should hold
fast to the docotrine of labor. -Cleve-
land Leader.

An American civilization far ante
dating the generally accepted limits
of pref Columbian peoples has been
traced in Peru by DIR. Max Uhle, di.
rector of the anthropological excava-
tions and explorations Of the Unlver.
sity Of California In that country,
where Inca traditions had led scien.
lists to believe Peruvian civilization
existed only a few centuries before the
coming Of the Spaniards. The work
Of DR.. Uhle has established the facs
that a great civilization flourished
1000 years earlier, at the least, and
that cultured race Of higher deyel-
opment than the Incas was In exis.
tence before the Trojan war.

Since the discovery was made that
the Missouri legislature was controlled
by an organized gang of crooks and
thieves, people in the state who are
likely to suffer from the corrupt legis-
lation are asking if laws passed by
men convicted of bribery cannot be
declared void. They are informed
that there is no way of going behind
the returns and that the laws must
stand unless separately overthrown by
the courts in regular course; yet, still
they fail to understand why meas
ure created by lascals and passed by
fraud shonld be binding upon them.
And certainly it doesn't look right.

Judges Chapman and Howard by way
of codifying the laws Of Indiana. The

At that time it will probably be found

From the legal standpoint that a
corporation is a person, the governor
of New Jersey on Friday exterminated
more persons than any one ruler ever
killed in one day before. By stroke
of his pen he wiped out Of existence
s27 New Jerse y corporations having an
aggregate capital on paper OF about
s24o, 900, 900, but they represented
more wind and water than anything
else. New Jersey is a paradise for all
sorts Of corporations, from extracting
sunshine from cucumbers to making
philosophers stones out OF red clay.
Under the laws of the state the gov
ernof may by proclamation dissolve
any corporation that is in arrears for
state taxes TWO years. This year
there were 927 in arrears, and the
governor snuRed them out Of legal
life. The country win not lose any

.ChapIains IN the Army.

There are 55 chaplains in the Ameri-

divided among the christian denom-
nations. The Methodists lead with

order with eight, the Baptists have
four, the Lutherans and Congrega-
tionalists two each, the Dutch Re-

Taking one year with another the
rainfall and the temperature will
average about the same, and if one
year is abnormal the next year brings
the average right once more. On this
theory we are entitled to look for a
comparatively dry, warm spring and
summer and a late fall.
The hope is founded upon the we'll
known meteorological fact that the
weather "evens up" so to speak,
The wet cool weather of the past
few days leads some people to fear
that we shall have another wet, cool
summer, but there is yet plenty Of
time for dry, warm weather.
Last year was excessively cold and
wet, as dealers in summer garments
can testify to their sorrow. All sum-
mer long there were scarcely three
consecutive days of warm weather.
For the most part the mercury hung
around the 60 mark and the rainfall
was far beyond the average. The
