And SO throughout our whole society
1--we see men and women forever IN
mindful OF the fact that every act o.
,neir lives contributes to the mating
or unmaking Of themselves. They con-
| sole themselves that If their acts are
errors they are not to blame and that
they are not to suffer, because envlr-
onment or other influences force upon
them the performance of acts at which
| their natures would otherwise rebel.
Vain hopes-all of them Nature and
Natures God do not work after that
fashion. Natures sure and fixed law
lis that upon every head rests the abb
solute responsibility for every act. She
has entrusted to every creature the
building of its eternity. She fixes the
sure and Inevitable compensation for
knxasE.act, good or i'll. Her balance is
absolute and wars. a~She makes no COM
promises She accepts ~ osassses. She
offers no atonement Upon every ma
ture rests the responsibility for its
advancement or retrogression. She al
lows no shifting.
Natures law is that every quail
ity of your nature shall be added to,
if you use it, and shall be subtracted
from if you fail to use it. ITO them
that hath shall be given, and from
them that hath not shall be taken that
which they have" The member of a
corporation who fails to perform his
full duty as he understands it, fails to
exercise those qualities with which ma
ture has endowed him. Not permitting
1er fine qualities to be in possession of
those who fail to use them, she takes
from them the benefit OF them, and to
that extent are they impoverished.
The soldier who goes into battle for
no other reason than that his govern
ment commands it, and kills and MUIR
ders his fellow being, by that act cul-
tivates the baser element of his ma
ture, and by that cultivation it grows,
and being base it finally consumes
him.
The man or woman, minister of the
gospel, legislator, governor or judge,
who fails to give expression to the
great truths, the power to see which
he has accumulated in experiences of
the past. fails to give expression to
that much of his very life, and his
failure to so express himself causes
him the loss of that much of himself.
FOR fife is expression, and there is
no life outside of it.
Why is it that today thoughtful men
everywhere refuse to be Influenced by
the editorials of many daily papers?

"redeemers" gleefully took up the cry
shortage in the account OF fusion
Official. They thought this shortage
might offset that OF more tnan half a
million OF previous republican Oh
fetal. So they rejoiced, but somehow
their expert later discovered that the
apparent shortage was fully accounted
for in the fact that the item OF ap-
parent shortage instead of having been
charged as premiums on state warrants
should have been entered as money re-
ceived from the government in set
Element of accounts. So this error Ee-
ing discovered and rectified it proves
clean bill for General Barry's admin
istration. 49, e
| So the lie had gone out over the
state that shortage of $75.04 had
been found in General Barry's ac-
counts. An attempt was thereby made
to blacken the record OF. the old vet
seran. But every one who knew him
knew that the report was a lie. And
now the .'redeemers' themselves ac-
knowledge that it was lie. But,
after all, this occurrence rebounds to
the credit of General Barry. 1t shows
almost remarkable record. More
money passed through his hands dur
ing these war days than has ever
passed through the hands of any other
adjutant general, in fact more than
all others combined have handled, and
not one cent of shortage is found. All
honor to General Barry, the upright
and true.

Divorce Laws

Real students Of sociology can but be
amused at the cheap talk INDUCED in
- ecclesiastical councils, regarding the
divorce question. Because there is an
undoubted prevalence of divorce suits,
these councils would make divorce
practically impossible.
1aere can be no question but that
there are too many divorces. There
can be no question that these entail
upon society burden in looking after
children whose homes have been de-
stroyef. There can be no doubt of
the fact that little children are left
without proper care as result of sep
ar lion of their parents But does the
remedy lie in any provision that forces
a oupIe to maintain the relationship

has been accomplished in a remarkably

due to Manager George K. Kimball, jr.,
for the able manner in which the work
has been carried out During February
447 tons Of ore were shipped from it to
the Black Hawk mills, which more than
paid for the sinking during that time.
