Good everyday common sense k sor1 atimes handed down from th
 bench more effectively even than the law. Judge Rabcock. of Cleveland. has supplied an instance. when In reu- dering a decision he said: "The young married couple that start life on an income of Si.J0O. and proceed to live as though ii were 5000 need not be very farslghted to see q divorce al the end of their romance All law has been said .o he but systemati2ed com mon sense. But, unfortunately, all common sense is moi law The simpl" truth so biuntly stated hy this Judge is one of the most important. but least needed. truths in human life The sta rtling assertion WAS made the other day by statistical authority in Geor- gia that ninn-tenths of the young men of that State working on salaries were in debt through higher living than their salaries warrant II is 10 be hoped the same proportion doeS not Ob- tain in other sections Of the country.

It would seem to be the most easily comprehended proposition in the world that a young man or young couple cannot successfully spend S1o week on a Ss income. Multiplying the tg- ures will not change the proportion or lessen the danger. Ten dollars income and S9 expenditure form the road to success. Nine dollars income and S1O expenditure form the road to failure. The guide-post. plainly marked, as which choice is made between these two roads, Is the most critical point in young mans life. Perhaps all this Is p!adtude IL has been worn thread bare by repeated assertions ever since civilization began. The vital truth and importance of it is demonstrated every day. But the fact remains that mil lions give no heed. The happy homes of the land where peace and prosperity have their shrines are the homes where frugaity binds hearts together tn loving. hopeful sympathy. The dol lar in the bank is good guard against want, but only the common sense spirit of making both ends meet can guard against that demon worse than want worry. which wrecks the home. The American people have a most unenvia- ble reputation for bankruptcies and di- vorces. The penny more spent than uhe penny earned Is perhaps the most direct cause of both

The eloquent fact that the auction sale of the late William 0. Wh1tney'a stud realized close to half million dollars, taken in connection with the results of the sales of several other notable stables of late, serves to illus trate the circumstances that the de mand for good horsefesh was never greater than il is now. and that il has rarely fetched better prices. We some times hear the suggestion that the pas sion for fine horse6esh is going ou. and that the growing fancy for automo- billing has hurt it Nothing could be farther from the truth. If any gen tleman doubts this proposition let him go into the horse marts and try to find a good horse. He will probably sue ceed in his mission, but he will also ascertain that the demand far exceeds the supply.

The value of an assemblage of per sonalties such as the peace congress this. that the abstract conceptions of internatonalism and natonaljsm are seen In the new light of personalities. To hold the theory that il would be well for men 10 be brothers is good, but action along that line depends much on what the brothers both seem to be and are. Any gathering which reveals to Americans just what sort of men and women the idealists of Flu rope and Asia are. makes for brother hood, for the incarna tons of truth are always more persuasive than ths truth itself.

It would be difficult for the Ttar to draft a law which would do so much for the internal peace of Russia as has been done by the birth of his son. The direct line of succession Is now as- sured, and the intrgues for favor with the collateral heirs to the throne are no longer attractive.
