Frequently in these columns 1 have
drawn attention to the indiscriminate
manner in which titles are assumed in
France. although officially there is no
nobility in that country. But it must be
admitted that the temptation is some
what strong. There are. for iustance, In
the chamber of deputies no Less than five
legislators known by the name of eau

one from another the name OF their
place Of residence is tackled on to their
patronymies, one OF them being. for in

Two Views OF d Question.
Can Labor Problems Be Kept Out
of Politics?


John Mitchell, with his usual good |
sense, recently made the statement
that the labor question ought to be |
kept out Of politics Jack London, an
ardent young student of sociology, re-
Gently wrote a somewhat vehement
magazine article in which he asserted
that the time would come NThen the
labor party would seize the resources
of the state, control the common
wealth and the machinery Of produc-
ton, and, practically, WIN in a war of
labor against capital. At first sight
the views Of these two men-both
honest and clear thinkers, moreover
cannot possibly both be right.
Yet it viii not do to condemn one
and exalt the other. 1t is true that,
at present. for the good of the work
man, the labor question ought to be
kept out of politics. To arouse class
antagonism would hurt the laborer
without bringing him any compensat-
ing s5od But, on the other hand.
all history shows that no great indie
pendent movement can go on in
definitely without getting into politics
i'll some way or other. You might
just as well say that an enormous sys-
TEN of railway transportation could
be developed over two countries with
out getting into diplomacy, though il
might not become a casus belh-
The time may come when the devel-
opment predicted by Mr.. London viii
take place, but the slower it is in com
ing the more solid it will be when it
does come. Ii is not likely to be an
alogous to the French Revolution, al
though the conditions observed by Mr..
London among the English poor do
seem very much ike those which
brought about the Reign of Terror.
When a man gets to the point at
which hG has nothing TO lose, he IS
ready TO fight ike wild beast. When
he has everything to lose, he viii com
promise and be careful. The strength
Of the labor movement in this country
Is that it has us grip on the men who
have not lost everything. They have
some resources. They viii be eau
tious, and wait, and plan, and consid-
er. Whatever revolutionary sihemeS
may be Matched In this country will be
likely TO resemble The bloodless revOlu-
tions which have accomplished i'm
nlense changes with little noise.
Keeping these things IN mind, we
shall not be afraid that the labor
movement viii overthrow existing con-
ditions with a crash; nor shall we have
any reason to fear increasing bitter
ness of class antagonists. The things
for which the labor men have been
fighting &c, in the main, to increase
the general intelhgence-to give the
children more education, and the fam
lies a standard Of living which vii
include books and papers. Never was
there a time when so much reading
and thinking on labor problems was
done as now. And by a general In
crease of intelligence, and only bJ
that, may the miseries which Older
countries have experienced be averteC
IN our OWE development.

Love Making by Rule.
The Usefulness of Tons of Advice on
This Important Subject.

1nlS important subject.
One can hardly pick up newspa-.
per or magazine without finding ad-
vice on the subject of love-making,
and the minutest idiosyncrasies OF
woman and of man are so described
tkat it would seem that the wayfaring
man and the fool could not err there
In. This abundance of advice leads to
the query whether it would not be
quite as well to leave a little some
thing to the individual. What fun is
there going to be In counting girl,
when every step in the way is marked
out with the precision of the proper
move In a game of chess7
1t may be true that if a man wants
to please woman, he will pretend
that he does not care too much for
her, and that if woman is particu-
larly DESTROYS of winning some par
ticular man for her husband, she will
pretend that she does not care much
for him; but if they beth do this,
either they viii get the impression
that there is no use In going on with
the affair, or they viii begin to under
stand that it is all III the game, and
we have Scripture authority for it
that In vain is the net spread in the
sight Of any bird, .s,so.-
For all this multifarious advice,
however, there is very little danger
that the good old game OF counting
will lose interest for the majority Of
people. Human nature Is so varied
that it will take any person more than
one lifetime to learn all about it, and
the more man may think he knows
about women In general, the more like
" is he to find that the one particular
woman in whom ne is interested has
some individual traits different from
the rest; and they will be enough to
keep him wondering for some time.
The most dangerous thing which one
can do in a love affair is to generalize.
The safest way is to study the speci-
men in hand, and try to find out It's
habits. fancies, and tendencies, with
out much reference to those of other
creatures. The ways Of an orioia
cannot be learned by watching blue
! iay or a domestic duck.

CUPID'S ARROW.

On Tuesday night, at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Dickson, the we'd
ding of Miss Katherine Randolph Blan-
ton and Mr.. J. Samuel Head, Jr., of Jack
son, was solemnized. Only the immedi-
ate friends and relatives of the bride
were present, but it was one of the pref
test home weddings ever in Paris.
The color scheme was pink and white
and was carried out in every detail of the
decorations, which were very artistic.
Thebridesmaids were Miss Sarah Shack
leford, of Richmond; Miss May Escott,
of Shelbyville; Miss Lacy Irvine, of Bow
ling Green and Miss Eddie Spears, of
this city.
The gowns were of white silk null with
pink ssshes and they carried wreaths of
srnilax, tied with pink tulle.
Miss Lizzette Dickson, niece of the
bride, was the maid of honor. Her gown
was of pink crepe de chine and lace and
she carried an armful of pink roses.
The bride looked very sweet and at
tractive in an exquisite gown of white
panne crepe and Duchess lace, with a
shower bouquet of white roses and lilies
of the valley. Mr.. Mack Clark, of Lex
ington, was the other attendant.
DIR. L. H. Blanton, father of the bride.
performed the ceremony, assisted by DIR.
Rutherford.
After the ceremony, very delightful
lunch was served. The brides table was
round and twelve were seated. The cloth
was of white tulle over pink silk. Ropes
of srlilax and streamers of tul1e were
suspended from the chandelier to the
sides of the table. In the center was a
large cut glass vase, filled with pink
roses. Silver candelabras, with pink
shades and cut glass bon bon dishes with
pink and white rosebud minis combined
to make a most beautiful table. The
place cards were hand-painted Cupids,
with the gold monograms.
The bride presented her maids with
dainty gold 'good luck" pins.
1t was an interesting fact that Tuesday
was the anniversary of the marriage of
the brides father and mother, and that

mony, was groomsrnan upon that &C.
