Love and Advice.
Sad Fate of the Matrimonial
professor"

Sad Fate OF the Matrimonial
professor"
A certain professor" out West
somewhere has been making an
honest living advising persons in love
how to win the object of their adora-
ton. He only charged 25 cents,
which is a heap less than the lawyer
sticks one for getting him out of love
But some fellow, with an amorous
heart but without genuine sporting
blood, thought he did not get his
moneys worth, and complained to
Uncle Sam Now the professor"
cannot use the mails any more for
the laudable purpose of bringing to-
getaer the males and females.
All will agree that this is tough on
the professor, who, after all, seems
TO have given good advice. For in
stance. he says that one must think
Of the woman he loves with ones
whole souls intensity" must not
drink, must keep clean, and must
walk with head up and shoulders
thrown back, must be dignified, fiat
ter some, but not too much, and must
not be bashful
We submit that anyone, who loved
with his whole souls intensity" and
was at the same time dignified and
not bashful, could, all other things
being equal, 20 against the matri-
monial game with a fair prospect of
picking a winner.
The trouble, we are afraid, was
with the professors" clients. Any
man or woman who hasn't the gump-
ton 70 do his own counting, who has
to buy advice at the rate of a quarter
Of a dollar per buy, deserves to get
strung. The marvellous human being
these days is not the one who gets
into matrimony, but the one who
keeps out.

President Roosevelt's action in for
bidding the musicians of the Marine
Band to mix in while the differences
between the management OF a local
theater and the American Federation
of Musicians are still unsettled, is
interesting as showing the sturdy

natural fairness of his disposition

was right in principle, was apparent

labor men-not all, fortunately-are
not unbiased. If what these biased

The Cars Desire 10 Fight at thC
Front

Front
1t was remarked by one who saw
the spectacular review of forty thou
sand Russian troops in st. Peters
burg last week that the scene was
far more medieval than modern.
This Characterization of the feel
which a foreigner gets from Russian
thought and Russian action, is fur
Their emphasized by the evident de-
sire of the Car to get to the front
of the lighting in the Far East.
Urging his desire to participate in
active service, he points to the fact
that Alexander I entered Paris with
the allies after the battle of Water
loo. Nicholas l died in soldiers
hut in the Crimca. Alexander ii and
the heir apparent were at the front
in the Turkish war
Of course, SO far from being really
useful in Manchuria, Nicholas would
be both a handicap and a serious re-
sponsibility, though his presence
might sufficiently inspire the troops
to Offset the additional care that he
would be.
Moreover, his eagerness to lead his
soldiers in person belongs distinctly
to the Middle Ages. He takes one
back to the days of Charlemagne, the
Charleses of France, and the Richards
of England. the days when kings
were indeed kings in valor, the
mightiest of the mighty. and the
brayest Of the brave.
We trust, however, for the sake
Of such reverence Cor kings as still
remains, Nicholas will heed the adj
vice Of his counselors, and stay at
home. A king intrenched in mud and
water on the firing line would not
only be anachronistic, but distinctly
undignifed as. we'll Deprive a king

An interesting and important de-
cision is that of the United States
Supreme Court, upholding the action
Of the New York immigration author
tiles in excluding the anarchist Tur-
ner, from this country. The claim
of the opposition was that the law
under which the New York authOri-
ties acted was unconstitutional, in
that it destroyed free speech and
abridged the rights of man. The
Court. however, declares that in the
light of an accepted principle of in
ternational law, a country has III.
right to forbid the entrance Of for.
eigners and to regulate commerce
Without doubt, this decision will be
received with general approval. Thi.

A Cat and Dog Time.
Trouble in the New York Federation
Of Womer's Clubs.

AlOuDie IN the new IOTk FeQe-aUOn
of Womer's Clubs.
They had a war in the meeting of
the New York Federation Of Women's
Clubs the other day, over the ques-
ton Of protecting cats and dogs
rather than children.
II is rather queer, TO a casual OBJ
server, that any club composed of IA
tional beings should waste any time
squabbling over what 20 do in the
world, when there is so much that is
waiting TO be done; and it also seems
queer that so many philanthropic
clubs spend their time hammering
cold iron.
The fact is that a great many peo-
pie in these days are organization
mad. They baye somehow got the
idea that TO Sit up in a meeting and
discuss things is better than doing
things, and that using influence" by
means of reading papers and signing
petitions and acting on committees. is
the finest possible way to reform
abuses.
