| Such expressions could be quoted in

ton of custom houses, nor does il

Fruits of free-Trade.

All students of economical systems

slider and reflect upon the terrible con-
dition of the English working classes,
as shown in the recent investigations
of Mr.. Charles Booth, and published
by the Macmillians. The revelations
of Mr.. Booth show a condition Of pow
erty and wretchedness almost incred-
ible, and yet no one gu ,stions Mr..
Booths figures or doubts that his
pictures are true in every particular.

London, or to be exact, 1921 peo-
pie, are living in abject poverty. Just

The situation in the war zone seems
TO be becoming more intense in inter.
est. The Japs have been silently and
effectively closing in on Port Arthur.
Every precaution has been taken to
guard against any sudden and disas-
ferrous attacks upon their lines, and at
the same time they have been driving
their enemy back upon Port Arthur
inch by inch. Their grip is tighten
ing and, in spite of their rumored re-
verses, is unrelenting. Their proves
has been proven, time and again, 10
be superior TO that of their foes.
While the Japs are doing this, the
Russians are fortifying their positions
with all the minute preparations that
they deem are absolutely necessary for
a successful termination of the con-
flict. Great mines are being skillfully
laid, breaStworks are being thrown
up Outposts are being established,
food is being stored for long siege
and their soldiers are being trained to
heroic defensive actions. The Port
puts great faith in Lieut.-Gen, Stoes-
sci. Everything seems TO be strung
TO an intense pitch, ready for defense.
Thus the dogs of war are facing each
other. The outcome, in many ways,
points TO termination of hostilities
If Japan wins. In this event undying
glory will crown that nation for con-
Quoting so vigorous and so successful
a campaign. This battle will bid fair
for going down as one of the decisive
battles in the worlds history.

| urn water OFT.

DO you leave the water tap on your
premises running all the time? II
you do, don't you think you had bet
ter consider the matter? Because so
many do this it empties the pipes and
reduces the pressure so necessary in a
case of fire.
The pressure should he from eighty
to one hundred pounds but instead of
that WatermaSter Holt states that he
tests from time to time only about
forty pounds, one half the amount
needed. He turns more water in but
that is unsafe. If these users of water
should suddenly take it into their

would be so great that pipes, through

Always Customary.

Democratic papers try TO gull the
people by stating that the present
stringency of money is caused by capt.
talists calling in their demand money
from the banks, for the reason that
the conservative men of the Republi-
can party are in continual fear lest
their strenuous President (Roosevelt)
in his impulsivc recklessncss should
involve the country in some interna-
tional entanglements. Men of either
party that observe the fluctuations in
the money market at different periods
know that, preceding all presidential
elections, capitalists call for their
money from the brokers, who in turn
call upon the banks of the country
and they call upon their customers TO
pay in dues at the bank TO meet these
demands.
The question arises why Is this call
made for outstanding money? Simply
because presidential election Is ap-
preaching, with two parties in the
field whose policies are opposite
TO each other. Until the election
Is over the owners Of the money
think IL safe to have their money In
their vaults and then, II the party
prevails whose policies on national
affairs are different than what they
have been in the past, the money
lenders can arrange their affairs with
safety because they have thier money
in hand, otherwise they might suffer
loss. The calling in of the money is
for protection This is the true condi-
tion Of affairs today just as it has
been on similar occasions, in the past,
and amy man with money TO loan
would take this consistent view of the
situation and do just what the people
of New York and other places are
doing, and that is to lock their money
up until the election is over That S
all.

The status Of women in various
countries is illustrated by the fact
that the PERCENTAGE of women employ
ed stands lowest in the United States,
being only 1913 per cent. In Germany
the percentage Of females employed to
the total self-supporting population is
%, while in England IL runs up to 81.
In most of the other civilized coun-
tries the female population, on ac-
count of unfavorable economic condi-
tions.h has to contribute in a still larger
degree to the support of the families.
In Italy the PERCENTAGE is 40, and in
Austria ~. The American system of
Protection enables the men to earn
enough TO provide not only the neces-
saries but comforts and luxuries for
their families. Then, again, the wo-
men who do work in this country do
no hard manual labor, but enjoy the
light work, the short hours and spen-
did wages which they obtain under
Protection in the United States.

CeIi6aCy.

ROBERT SOuJney says "A man may
be cheerful and contented in celibacy
but | do not think he can ever be
happy. 1t is an unnatural state, and
the best feelings of his nature are
never called into action. The risks
Of marriage are for the greater part
on the woman's side. Women have so
little the power of choice that IL is
not perhaps fair TO say that they are
less likely to choose well than we are,
but | am persuaded that they are
more frequently deceived in the at
tachments they form, and their opin-
ions about men are less accurate than
mems opinion of their sex. Now If a
lady were to reproach me for saying
this, l should only reply that IL was
another mode of saying that there are
more good wives in the world than
there are good husbands. / know of
nothing which good and sensible man
is so certain to find, If he looks for
it, as good wife"
The Creator never designed that
men should be alone, so He made
women to be help mates to them, and
men do not fill the measure of their
creation without wives. And not
only that but they are at a disadvant-
age socially; old bachelors are viewed
as being unstable and they do not
carry that weight and influence that
they should.
A good wife serves as an anchor to a
man through which he becomes set
tied in his affairs and can practically
be viewed that way with safety.
Some young men are misled in their
views on this matter in thinking that
they will live life of single blessed
ness for awhile and then marry. All
such should remember that they will
become antiquated. 1T Is diverting
to hear an old bachelor of 80 or ~
years trying 10 entertain u young
lady of Ii or Is years. The aged boy s
talk Is stale as lover; he should be
giving her fatherly advice. Many
young men also form wrong con-
ceptiOn as To the cost OF keeping a
wife. Ninety per cent OF the young
men fritter away more money every
year than would maintain u little
household. A good wife will help a
man TO save money, not spend IL. IL
is money saved that is accumulated;
wife will help do this every time.
Young men should not marry for
looks and beauty alone, but should
look into the heart OF woman, dis.
regarding first the external beauty,
and decide whether or not you can
love her for her virtues and nobility
of character. If 50 the union is likely
TO be a continuous and happy one.
If, on the other hand, Il marriage Is
formed 10y external appearances alone
and the wife Is untitled for the duties
OF household, dissatisfaction Will
follow and such unions will end badly,
In all marriages there should be a
strong affinity existing between the
contracting parties, when IL will cover
many little shortcomings on either
side.
Our advice TO the young is To marry,
and in doing SO, make good selections
There are far too many young people
unmarried in the community, and
when this sacred contract Is entered
into with the proper feelings, JOY,
blessings and prosperity are sure tC
follow.
