PROTECTION.

A bride and bridegroom, having
been much annoyed by staring
guests at all previous hotels, called
the colored head-waiter at the next
hotel and said:
"Now, George, we have been
bothered to death because we are
just married. Here's So, and re.
member trust you not to tell peo-
pie that we are just married, if they
ask you. Understand ?"
"Yas, sab" said George, al un'-
stand"
All went we'll that day. But the
following morning when the couple
came down to breakfast the staring
was worse than ever. Chambermaids
in the hall, clerks behind the desk,
nudged each other, everybody in the
dining room stared Angered be.

Association, through its Secretary,
Richard Cheatam, is preparing &c
submit grave charges against the
Bureau of Statistics of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, il being claim
ed that the Bureau, through the
veniality of its clerks, has permitted
information regarding the monthly
crop reports TO leak out in advance
of their publication and also that
the Departments reports have been
colored TO suit spectators rather
than to present correct represen-
tauon of the facts. Until Mr..
Cheatam actually presents his charg-
es il will be impossible for the De-
partment or its officials to reply in
detail TO the allegations, but il is
claimed that all last year the Cotton
Growers maintained that the Depart
ment was overestlmating the cotton
crop to the material disadvantage of
the grower, and it was held that
eventually it would be found that
the Bureau OF Statistics estimate was
far in excess Of the actual produc.
ton. When, however, the Census
Bureau made public its report of
the amount of cotton actually GIN
ned, not an estimate, such as is fur
nished by the Bureau of Statistics
but an actual count, it was found
that there had been ginned just
800, 900 more bales OF cotton than
had the Bureau at any time predict
ed. The utmost care is experienced
by the Department and it is not be-
lieved that its estimates have been
altered to suit interested parties or
that advance information has leaked,
but this convection will not prevent
careful and thorough investigation
of any formal charges Mr.. Cheatam
may have to prefer.
The hnal decision in the Green
and Gaynor case is the occasion Of
the utmost qualification to the ofiici.
ais of the Department of Justice as
1t marks the conclusion Of the long
est and, in some respects, the most
famous extradition case ever con-
Quoted by this government. 1t is
now expected that Green and Gay
nor, who are charged with compile
ity with Captain Oberlin S. Carter
in defrauding the United States out
Of several thousand dollars on con-
tracts for harbor improvements at
Savannah, will be promptly return
ed to this country, will be tried and,
the federal officials say, will be sent
to the penitentiarY.

FOR A PATRIOTIC OBSERVANCE
JULY FOURTH.

At the Sunday School Convention
held in Wheeling April Io.so the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that the State Sunday
School Convention recommend that
County and District Associations
should as far as possible, make an
effort to redeem the Fourth Of July,
by holding on that day celebrations
in which Sunday School, Temper
anee, and National themes might
be set before the people for the pur.
pose of promoting loyalty and right
eousness in the Country.
The timeliness of this action MS
well as its importance will appeal to
all thoughtful, patriotic people.
However optimistic we may be, we
cannot avoid sense of fear for
our Country's welfare when we re.
hect upon the state of degeneracy
INTO which our national holidays,
particularly the greatest of them all
have been suffered to fall. More
and more are they becoming days of
shameless debauchery, and il be-
hooves Christians TO make an at.
tempt, at least, to redeem the Fourth
by making 1t q day for instilling
the principles of virtue, righteous
ness, and true patriotism in the
hearts and minds of our youth.
What better movement toward
that end than the one suggested in
the above resolutionp II not prac-
ticable TO have all the Sunday
Schools of county in one gathering
let neighboring schools unite, and
in our villages, towns and cities, let
Sunday Schools Of all denomina.
tions unite for a grand patriotic
demonstration on our great National
holiday.
All Temperance organizations are
urged to cooperate with Sunday
Schools. and since our country has
its deadliest foe in the liquor traffic,
the most lawless, the most unpatri-
otto of all our institutions-an adj
dress on some aspect of the temper
ance reform or good citizenship,
should be a feature OF the days
exercises.
Good music, addresses and games
will afford amusement for all, and
our children will be taught to look
upon this, our great National day
as an honor, and not disgrace to
our civilization.
Suggestive programs for these
particular rallies may be had by
applying to the Secretary of your
County Sunday Schools or to w. C..
Shafer, State Secretary, Room 50
Board of Trade Building, Wheeling,
w. Va.
Yours for a patriotic observance
of the Fourth Of July.
MRs. N. X. c. Morrow,
Supt. Temperance Dept. w. Va.

LIFEIS WHAT MAKE 1T.
BY CHARLES GRANT MILLER

BY CHARLES GRANT MILLER.
This is a joyous world or a cruel
one, according as we fit ourselves
into it. There are glooms for us to
Crouch in with complaings and
frowns, but there also is sunshine
for us to us to stride in with a smile
and a song.
II you and the world don't seem
exactly fitted to each other, don't
try to make over the world. That
is too big a job. Try making over
yourself.
Lop off some of your conceit
and selfshness, round out some Of
your vacuums of ignorance, and
then maybe you may find some nice
little niche just made for you.
What you will do with it will depend
upon yourself.
The world at worst is no worse
than we have made il and the best
that we deserve. 1t came from the
Creator clean. Sin came only with
man and has developed into multi.
tudinous forms of vice, error and
injustice, but into none more hid d.
eous than that Of pessimistic cavil.
The plea of the pessimist is neces-
sanly play on loose passions. He
dare not appeal TO reason, because
to reason is to cease to he a pessi-
mist.
That nature often battles human
effort proves no injustice on her
part, but only lack of judgment on
our own Nothing is more pitiless
than nature when she sees herself
outraged or her laws regarded with
contempt. The Java horror is but
one in millions of illustrations of
the fact that nature treats all man
kind alike. No one can say that
earthquakes or tidal waves treat him
with partial favor.
The penalty of ignorance is death
and soon or late. in some way or
other, it must be paid by all of us,
until mankind shall have lifted
itself into perfection of knowledge
and judgment.
For every evil that exists today
there is a remedy il man but knew
il. Every misfortune, every evil,
every sorrow in this world, since
Time began, has had ITS origin in
in the Imperfections Of mankind.
Nature is severely just. She would
if she could be always kind.
Energy and intellect can accom-.
plish anything within reason. Your
possibilities, with these, are practi.
cally without limitation. Nature is
bound to do her part. The ele-
ments Of your success or failure are
not in her but in you.
Let us, then, get out OF the glooms,
cheerfully bind up the wounds that
outraged nature has justly inflicted
upon US. extract wisdom from ex.
perience, and, the best we can,
strive onward and upward, phys
ically, mentally and morally, sure
that the sun will continue to shine,
that the showers will continue TO
refresh the earth, and that our har.
vest Of happiness and success will
depend on the seeds we SOW and on
the faithfulness with which we tend
our everyday tasks,
THIS is the pleasant and profitable
way Of optimism.

London Poor Parade.

There was another poverty parade
IN the streets of London recently. Some
1000 unemployed men and a sprink ling
OF women marched along the Thames
embankment to Hyde park. where they
listened to speeches and adopted reso-
lutions condemning charity as a cure
for the lack of employment, and de-
manding the summoning of parliament
to initiate works of national utility.
Red flags were seen, and banners bear
ing such devices as Course your char
ity; we want work., and "There is a
limit to human endurance" indicated
the temepr of the processionists. The
march, however, was quite orderly,
and the strong force of the police on
duty had little to do.
