THE CLUB LiFE AND TIE NOME.

let your moderation be known unto
Its force In modern conditions. 1t Is
fatally easy to let the good hurry on
until II becomes the evil. 1t Is not
strange that the good influence possible
for women's clubs should be forced
and overworked until 1t threatens the
welfare of the very communities which
they seek to help. The author Of re.
cent novel has taken this tendency as
the motive of her plot. She tells the
story Of Western country girl who
marries a Chicago grocer, and begins
her new life by joining club. She Is
soon swept into Il swift current Of &c.
tivlties, social and civic. Her name
figures In the club column Of every
newspaper. She Is n member of n
dozen committees. Their meetings and
the breakfasts, teas and dinners per-
tanning to club life Ill her days and
evenings, Husband ana children are
neglected or hnlf.fOrgotten In the pres.
sure of public duties. Finally the hus.
band loses patience. packs his bag and
leaves home. Fortunately he encOun.
tiers railway accident. The report Of
1t brings the wife to n sense Of her
actual love for her husband. She drops
everything and hurrles to the scene Of
the accident, to find him unhurt, and
to reveal her real heart to him and to
herself. In the hours Of agOnizing
suspense she has learned that husband
and babies are better and dearer than
all the glamOor Of club life: and the
story ends with The promise that they
shall live happy ever after" The book.
like all novels written for the avOwed
purpose Of reform, has gross eXaggera-
tons; but 1t will serve It's end II 1t calls
the attention Of club-women to the dan.
gers of Over-devOtion to their admira.
BILE orga nlzntlons, and puts fresh en-.
phasis on the wOrld-Old truth that the
great savior of society is the happy
home.

4LAMiN0 THE WOMAN.

Sixty-nine per cent of the inmates
OF Western prison." says a recent
writer, "say that they We're led to
commit crime by the extravaganza Of
their wives" In all probability 60 per
cent of that siXty-nine are uncOnscion-
able liars. Adam lusted after the for
hidden apple until his mouth watered,
and, after he had eaten IL, laid the
blame on his wife. His example has
been followed by his male successors.
or course there are eXtrayagant and
imprOvident and silly wiyes-too many
of them. And it may be that a man
Is sometimes driven to crime to sup
port wife who wants to live beyond
his means. But the excuse is frayed
one. 4 man goes and gets drunk be-
cause he has made bad investment
or guessed on the wrong side of the
market or because somebody invites
him TO drink or because he wants to
drink. He does mean thing or COM
mlts crime. When brought to bay
he whines about his "wretched dOmes-
tic affairs" and says his wife drove
him to drink. On the contrary: Leav-
ing out Of account the exceptions to
the general rule, 1t may be affirmed
that the average wife Is more eco
nomical than her husband. She will
submit to more personal sacrifices I'M
der unfortunate financial conditions.
And her ability TO get along under
strain is greater than his. Besides
a woman's ideals are usually higher

BACK 10 THE FARM-A HOPEFUL
6i0N,

Secretary Wilson conveys to the
American people the more than wei.
come Information that the desertOn Of
the farms for city life which has been
going on at an alarming rate for the
last twenty years seems to have come
to an end and that something like Il re-.
action has set In. II this Is true moth.
Ing could be more hopeful sign for
the future prosperity and happiness Of
this country. Until a few years ago
American cities prided themselves
greatly on their rapid growth in popu.
lation and never wearied of presenting
statistical tables showing an annual In.
crease Of 10 or 10 per cent. After a
while 1t was observe ed that all the cities
not only OF this country but of all
countries were growing I'm the same
way. Finally 1t dawned on our un.
derstandings that the farms were be.
Ing propOrtionally deserted and that
what we had been priding ourselves on
was nothing more nor less than u de.
plOrable national disease. What we
had hailed as solid municipal muscle
and fat was seen to be dropsical wind
and water. This wild flight Of the
country people to the cities Is some.
thing Of mystery, because 1t has ia
ken place simultaneously with an i'm.
mense amelloratiOn of the loneliness
ana hardships of farm life. In our day

PEELED to manufacture everything he

an insoluble problem. Not only do the

We WEED MORE JUDGES.

II Is to he hoped that the fullest
support OF the public will be given to
the bill for an increase In the number
Of Judges in the courts Of Cook county.
Opposition to ii can come only from
nnreasonins sources, ana cannot he
supported by any kind Of logic or hon.
est argument.
IL Is q notorious fact that the courts
Of Cook county are cloggcd with work,
and that the calendars are loaded down
with cases which ought to have been
reached and passed upon long ago.
This is not due to any fault Of the
Judges, but Is due to the fact that
there are not enough OF them. Every
lawyer in Chicago will agree with this
statement We have an able ana con.
scientious bench, and our judges are
among the most Woodworking as well
as efficient Of our public officials.
The laws delays, however we all
know Of, and ii is too bad that these
should be added to by deficiency in
the number Of judges.
Pass the bill for more judges for
The Cook county courts, and give the
people the benefit of litigation accom-
plished and clear docket.
1t Is useless 10 try to befOg the issue
Wy abusing our present judges, and
