Marry for Love.


In many Of the letters that come to

but am not sure. Would you advise
me to marry"

reign supreme is undoubtedly the best

that there should be many little hitch

up In totally different environment
are suddenly brought together for
veal or woe.
Now, 1t takes the deepest and most
abiding love to smooth out these rough
spots, and when there is not that love.
things do indeed get in muddle.
SO many young people think they
are in love. when in reality they are
not in love at all. That is. they are
not in love with the real person, they
are in love with pretty face, a fasci
mating manner or something equally
unstable
What l want these young people to
do is to look into it seriously and find
out just what they are in love with.
Let them go carefully into the loved
ones virtues and faults--lOvers can be
analytical If they try--and If weigh
ing all the pros and cons. they can
then say to themselves. II cannot live
without this man or woman. llfe
would be barren waste" Then |
say, marry, and marry as quickly as
possible so as not to lose one precious
moment of the greatest sweetness that
life can offer"

Child Training.

Should humility be taught in the
public schools: Are the children Of
the present day too proud to perform
the tasks that their fathers and moth
ers performed when they were chill
: drpn: These are pertinent questions.
They are becoming more so every day,
| and it will not be amiss to consider
them. Educators are beginning to dis
cuss the matter with great serious
ness.
Kecently. a prominent Eastern school
man in public address said Our
fathers did chores, our sons refuse TO-,
but put the energy into football. Our
girls decline to do Homework. We
have not the virtue of frugality. We
should teach IT,"
Undoubtedly these statements are
TO a certain degree correct. 1t Is to
be doubted. however. II the school liz
! the place to correct these faults. At
best nothing can he done in the schools
more than to supplement the work OF
the home. Children cannot he taught
frugality and industry mt school un-
less these things are also impressed
upon them in the home. Wasteful and
! indulgent parents are to blame. If
parents with two or three children
cannot train them properly, how Is
teacher with twenty-five or fifty chill
drcn undpd her control to be expected
, to correct their faults and at the same
time instruct them In their studies!
The whole trouble lies in the indulg-
, ence of parents. Every one has OBJ
served the difference between children
j I'm different homes. but enjoying prac-
! tically the same material advantages
| Families Of the same wealth and the
same station in society show marked
difference in the way they train their
children. In one family the children
will he respectful, industrious and
we'll behaved. In another way they
will be the opposite.
One trouble Is that parents want
their children to have things better
than they had them, when they were
young. Their children must have
more advantages. better clothes. less
work to do and more pleasures. These
ambitions on the part Of the parents
are certainly unselfish. The result
however, often Is that the children
are selfish
Parents should cultivate humility on
the part Of their children. 1t should
be humility without fear, however.
Work should be provided and the
tasks should be performed. Teachers
should not be expected to do every
thing. Let the children be properly
trained at home.-The Home Maya

A Guardian Needed.

1t is quite an honor to be private sec
rotary to the President. and if the in
cumbent be discreet there are vast po-
litical possibilities open to him. At
least two private secretaries became
cabinet officers, Lamone and Cortel-
you, but they did not make the mis-
take of taking the Presidents they
served too literally. Poor Loeb is diff
ferent; good fellow, anxious and will
ing, but not equal to the task of being
a good buffer for such strenuous soul
as President Roosevelt. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt told Secretary Loeb he
did not want to receive the delegation
of Pennsylvania miners to plead the
cause of their Colorado brethren, he
did not expect the delegation would be
SC persistent. He evidently thought
that Private Secretary Loeb would
have the political instinct strongly
enough developed to smooth over mat
tiers.
The coal miners have been led to be
lieve that President Roosevelt could,
if he wished, stop the horrors that the
Republican Governor of Colorado and
his militia colonel have committed.
They thought that such cruelty as ban
ishing husbands and leaving wives and
children to starve would rapidly be
righted. when 'knighthood was in
flower" again under the generous inn
pulses of Roosevelt. The miners, poor
fellows, did not understand that Colo
RADIO was a red-hot poker at white
heat at both ends, especially when a
Presidential election was approaching.
President Roosevelt knew 1t, and had
so informed Loeb, and he was obdu-
rate. He would himself lay the matter
before the President. or the miners
could confer with Mr.. Cortelyou. the
chairman of the National Republican
Committee.
The miners went home disguised and
angry. The President was excited
when he saw the morning papers. His
friends telegraphed him he had made
q great mistake He turned tail and
threw all the blame on poor Loeb.
Loeb's visions of gIoyy and power
and sitting at the cabinet board have
vanished. and the Presidents expecta-
ton of getting rid of a difficult job has
failed
There ought to be a political guard
ian appointed for Loeb-and the Pres
ident.

Beef Prices and Campaign Funds.

Secretary Shaw's prayer for high
prices has been answered even more
quickly THAI perhaps he anticipated.
The beef trust was evidently in close
telepathic touch with Secretary Shaw
and has advanced prices to suit him,
although those of US who have small
incomes and large families are on the
verge of a beef famine. Secretary
Shaw may have known that Chairman
Cortelyou has invited the packers COM
bine 10 contribute TO the Republican
campaign fund. If so. the cause of the
butchers strike and resulting great ad-
vance in price for meat is made the
clearer, for no doubt Secretary Shaw
prays also that large contributions
may be received The administration
has the beef trust i'll its power and
can make the beef barons come
down." for by ordering the District
Attorneys in the packing centers TO
present the evidence TO the United
States grand juries that the beef bar
ons have conspired 10 restrain trade
and put up prices, indictments would
follow and their conviction and incar-
ceration in the penitentiary would re
suit. The enormous profits the beef
barons are now making on the meat
they have in cold storage win mora
than pay any contributions to the Re
publican campaign fund.

Said the Rox Was Dear.

at a leap-year party held recently
In Germantown a novel way of raising
funds for a charitable object was sug-
gested and carried out in the auction
ing off of the young men present, the
highest bidder for each being entitled
10 his attentions for the evening. A
bright young girl was chosen for auc-
tioneer, the boys being banished to
another room. The sale started with
the fair auctioneer naming the meri-
torious points of the young men. No
names were used, but she managed in
a humorous comment ON their failings
as we'll as their virtues, to indicate
the personality of each one as offered.
Bidding started off briskly in dime
Jumps. but after the dollar point was
reached the auctioneer announced that
the boys would be so impressed with
their value that they would be too
conceited to be good company, and bids
were reduced to l cent. One young
man hung fire at 80 cents. why, girls,
the brass in this article is worth more
than that" pleaded the auctioneer. in
an effort TO secure a higher bid; but
10 no avail "Sold. at 30 cents" she
announced, as the young man was
brought in. adding. land you are dear
at that" And the young man for the
life of him can't figure out whether
he ought to cut the witty auctioneer's
acquaintance or consider himself com.

The Tariff Is a subsidy.

At one OF the hearings before the
Marine Commission. Representative
Grosvenor said: Subsidy is a fright
full word And yet he Immediately
began to plead for aid 10 the shipping
industry and tell the Detroit people
that the city's lines of communication
were due to subsidies; and the question
now is whether the great system that
has built up your inland trade may
not demonstrate some plan BY which
Congress can accomplish equally good
results on the high seas"
Grosvenor was always generous
with other peoples money. He would
vote for a subsidy or procure pen
sion for Satan if he was voter in the
Eleventh Ohio District.
The protective tariff is but multi

manufacturers when the rate Ct duty

in fact, it befogs the question, for the
government figures are given for the
LIST of January. and lambs are born in
the spring. and would not be counted
until the following year.
The facts are that. like most of the
government statistics, the sheep figures
are mostly unreliable. for the census
report for 1900 on sheep shows the
Agricultural Department figures are
not anyway near the otter.
1t is certainly rather an awkward
matter for the protectionists to explain
what is the matter with the sheep in
dustry, when wool is protected 20 per
cent. If the Republicans had only
made the duty on wool 40 per cent,
they would apparently have wiped ont
the sheep industry altogether. Great

and everyone has TO hold up his hands
while the tariff barons go through his
