The ministers OF the various Chris

wholesale divorcements now carried
on in courts OF many OF the States.
A conference was held in New York
at which twelve denominations were
represented, and the spirit OF the
gathering seemed to be renewed ener-
gy and greater determination. The
hope OF changing the laws is not en-
tertained, but the evil, it is thought,
can be lessened, il not stopped b,
ministers refusing to unite in MARI
age any couple, either one OF which,
male or female, has been divorced
Such action would no doubt do much
to lessen the evil il ministers OF all
denominations would unite and
work in harmony to that end.

gives as one of the objections that
the hotel accommodations are not

to be a good reason, but in addition
to this, the horse show might draw

would be drawn to the business meet

Inc Fate Of
a Wildcat
Promoter .

Last summer when the sun hung high
And sultry rays had parched the grass,
l got of grub a good supply
And sailed forth for the Lolo pass.
There | met man, seated on some logs
Where heavy foliage hung DER head.
His apparel all descriptions fogs. {,
Tho tits fair to say his nose was red.
His hat was minus brim and crown,
His boots were without legs,
His countenance dire as any hound
Condemned and lynched for sucking eggs
His we'll worn coat had got so short
The binding reached the collar;
His trousers showed a willingness
His coattail's course to follow.
"Halloa!" said he in a mirthful way,
There's no living man I'd rather meet
And if you are down financially
I'll put you on your feet.
'I've eXcavated these mountains
From apex to the base;
Drank solely from the fountains
Of booze I'd not taste.

Out here and here about;
AS to their valuations
I've cancelled every doubt.

''They are chiefly bikes or fissure veins,
Cleaving the hard formation;
To an experts eye tbs doubly plain
The best in all the nation
The walls of all the mines I own
Are of radium and sylvanite,

With diamond gems to furnish light

Of highest grade, shine glittering bright,
And under foot nuggets galore,
You'd 'ranich' there 'scookum' sight.

His optic nerves would all relax,
He'd sigh to tell his folks at home,
Why we're as poor as puppy tracks.

When we have got such mines at home
With tons of nuggets all in sight.

''When left camp I'd plenty of dust
To purchase fall supplies;

A multi-millionaire.

From evening fall to dawn of day,
IntersperseH with the plaintive wall
Of the wild coyote in search of prey.

The High Privilege of the
Voter.
John Brisben Walker in the Cosmopol-
itan.)


itan.
When American citizenship shall
have reached its highest development,
the duty of voting will no longer be a
careless, perfunctory. ill-studied and
hastily performed act.
There will be preparatory ceremo-
nv. in which the citizen will stand be-
fore his fellow men and, with uplifted
hand, solemnly affirm that in exercising
the high duties devolving upon him as
voter. he
Has studied with diligence the issues
presented for decision;
Has made careful inquiry concerning
the integrity and administrative ablh-
ties of the candidates in nomination;
Will cast his vote without prejudice,
without personal bias, without influence
| by money or promise OF any personal
advantage, direct or indirect;
Will. in casting his vote, have regard
solely and entirely to the benefit of the
country at large if the vote be national.
| or if local, with reference TO the good of
| the community.
| Eventually the voter will come to
recognize that a failure to fulfil this
duty earnestly, thoroughly and with
highest integrity, should expose him to
the contempt of his fellow citizens, and
should disfranchise him from the exer-
else of the high privilege of voting-and
| he will understand that corrupt voting
brings in its train wars, panics, loss OF
| income. and suffering in a thousand
1 ways.
If, after solemnly making this affirm
alton in the presence of his fellow cit
izens, the voter proceeds to the secrecy
OF the voting booth, who doubts that ne
will not, in nine cases out of ten, act
differently from the careless, thoughtless'
i'll Judging, selfish or corrupt man who
today retards by his vote the destiny OF
our Republic?
Within the past twenty years, corrup-
| tion at the polls has increased with a
| rapidity that appals those who have
read the history of the republics oil
Rome and Greece. Something must be
done to rescue the average citizen from
his indifference to and ignorance of the
power contained in his vote. Men must
| be educated Systematically through vii
| lage societies, and above all, the public
schools must take up the training OF
the child to the Importance of the func-
| ton which he will some day exercise as
| a citizen.
Penalties for bribery at the polls are
already severe. But in every town
there must be a society whose business
it is to pursue the briber and the bribed
until the doors of the penitentiary close
upon them. And the only legal excuse
for absence from the polls should be a
certificate of ill health or certified alb
sence from the county.
Hitherto we have neither educated
our schoolchildren in the duties they
will some time exercise as voters, mol
surrounded the voters themselves witt
such safeguards as will elevate them tt
comprehension of the high response
bility entrusted to them.
And if it continues to go unchecked
bribery at the polls will overthrow the
Republic.
