100 Names For New Club.

The members of the committee
which have been circulating subscrip-
ton lists for the new proposed bust
ness mems club for Davenport, have
met with good success and already
have secured over 100 names. The
list includes many of the leading bust
ness men of the city and as already
signed, is regarded as a very strong
one. 1t is hoped to secure between 800
and 400 names to the list, which would
assure a successful termination of the

Muscatine News-Tribune: One of
the prettiest pieces of pugilistic work
seen around here in some time was
displayed on the depot platform about
: o'clock last night between two mem

trouble started over the breaking of
a hat. As soon as the men alighted
from the Car, they began to batter
each other with their fists and blood
soon began TO flow. Each man was
knocked down several times before
they were separated by other members

WHY DOES
A BABY CRY?

Because it is either hun
cry or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby. If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Boston Transcript: We have always re-
garded Plus X as a very practical pope.
The installation Of a long distance tele-
phone in the Vatican proves it.
Washington POST Bishop Potter's propo-
sition for twenty-minute sermons is meet
ing with popular favor. Push 1t along until
similar limitation is placed on political
speeches and Chautauqua lectures.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: The action of
the Episcopal church in Canada can not
bar legal marriage of Divorces, but it goes
far toward making divorce odious, which
is long step in the right direction.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: The lucky pastor
who officiated at the wedding OF Marshall
Field is said to have received a fee Of
$2S, 900. About one wedding of this sort a
year would keep him nearly in board and
clothes.
Baltimore American: The report of the
Board of Foreign Missions from Boston an
nounces that the receipts have been af-
fected by the controversy over John d.
Rockefellers gift. Are the heather then,
TO be abandoned without aid to the con-
Eliminating touch of tainted money? 1t is
to be hoped there are some generous souls
who would rather take the blight upon
themselves,
Boston Transcript: Out in Cincinnati the
Methodist Episcopal convention has passed
a resolution that future candidates for the
ministry shall be questioned closely as to
their tobacco habits. Alas and alas! has
the convention no realization of the in
Vulnerable good sermons that have come
out of the meditation that mellows and
softens in the smoke from a companionable
old pipe bowl?
Portland Oregonian: A Seattle minister
drawing a salary of $500 year and pos
sessing a sufficient amount Of tangible as
sets to necessitate the employment Of a
lawyer at an annual salary to look after
them, is in trouble. He Is accused Of using
his ministerial half-fare permit for the
benefit of two people who were not mem
bers OF his family. The congregation l
somewhat divided vote "vindcated" the
action, and a division OF the church may
result There is a suspicion that the con-
Eregation must number among its members

most important variances in this class of
legislation respects the period Of time a
petitioner for a decree shall have been a
resident of the state in which the appli-
cation is made. With such differences in
existing legislation II may well be
doubted whether uniform legislation can
be secured. 1t is not an easy matter to
Induce a community to radically change
a system or policy that has long pre-
vailed and which has not distinctly oper-
ated to its detriment, even though OF
jectionable from a strictly moral point Of
view. South Dakota, for instance, which
now invites those who desire to sever
the marriage bond, might not be dis
posed to adopt a law which would be en-
tirely acceptable to states whose people
believe that there should be rigid restric-
ton upon divorce.
But If it be not practicable to secure
uniformity, 1t may be possible to bring
about reform. 1t is suggested that to In
crease the period of necessary residence
of the petitioner before filing the petit
ton and TO abolish service of notice by
publication, requiring in all cases actual
notice to the party defendant, would be
extremely Beneficial reforms and ought
to be attninable. The proposed national
congress would have many measures pre-
scented TO 1t. out Of which It undoubtedly
would be able to recommend legislation
which would be generally acceptable.

Labor is the noblest of all prayers
Love Is the greatest human lOdestone,
Every sin would like to syndicate itself.
The world needs kindness more than

All saints are home made but none are

When religion is only thing it is worse
than nothing.
Enough is as good as feast; more leads
but 10 famine
No man can be an inhdel who has some
faith in other men.
A few friends at heart are worth a whole
directory in the head.
The day OF rest is never the better for
making It a day OF rust,
Look to your works and your wings will
take care Of themselves.
Even a child knows the difference be-
tween piety and padding.
II is easy TO forgive the man who has
wronged the other fellow.
The cloth" is an effective insulator be-
tween men and the ministry.
Too many hope TO bull their own religious
stock by bearing that OF others.
The only doubts for which TO apologize
are those you feel like advertising.
Many times do we get the names OF our
troubles and our treasures transposed
The top notch Of sentiment is gained
more easily than the lowest step OF service.
There is more OF the divine in a little
diligence than in all the dignity in creation.
Some men think they are forehanded
when the truth is that greed has only made
them our-footed.-chieago Tribune.

provement in the methods and practices
Of insurance companies" he continues,
"a reduction Of 20 per cent or % per
cent in premium rates is possible for q
company managed with average care
and efficiency and is in every way de
sirable. But TO bring insurance rates
down to the present cost level is only
half enough. The cost itself ought to he
lowered. II is demonstrable that some
of the practices Of insurance companies
tend to increase their mortality loss. that
higher net rate of interest could be Sc
cured on their investments, and that the
cost Of administration is often eXtrava-
gantly high. Improvement I'm any Of
these particulars would materially lower
the cost Of insurance and make possible
sulting in n wider utilization of the ben
efits of insurance by people of small or
moderate incomes"
Disclosures made by different investi-
cations since Mr.. willetts article was
written Indicate that the reports of the
insurance companies made to the state
insurance departments are themselves
often inaccurate and deceptive and in
some cases at least hide transactions
from which profits accrue either to the
companies directly or to their officers by
indirect and questionable means. If Mr..
Willett had the correct figures he could
doubtless have made out much
stronger case of overweighted premium
| schedules and a still more impressive
showing for rate reduction This de-
mand is not satisfied by the companies
returning to policy holders larger rebates
the policy holder in the first instance
that the money be left in the hands OF
the policy holders in the first instance
through lower rates rather than collected
| from him with promise of being returned
to him later, Competition between the
insurance companies ought to lead some
Of them to strike out boldly on this line
and force the others to follow. II they
do not do so they will run the risk of
being compelled to reduce rates as a re.
suit Of stricter and more stringent regu.
lation.

FOR REFORM IN DIVORCE LAWS

1t is proposed to hold a national con-
gress for the purpose of promoting uni
form divorce legislation, or If that be
found impractlcable such reforms in ex-
listing state laws as are deemed to be
necessary TO correct prevalent evils in
connection with divorce that are held to
be injurious to society. At its last ses-
sion the legislature of Pennsylvania
passed a bill authorizing the governor of
that state to take the initiative for a ma
tional congress on divorce legislation.
Pursuant TO this Governor Pennypacker
submitted the proposition to the gov
ernors of the states and received assur-
ances Of their cooperation, not single
unfavorable reply having been returned.
This manifestation OF interest in the
matter shows how generally its impor-
lance is realized by those who have
given 1t attention. Statistics show that
there has been a great increase In the
number OF divorces in recent years. In
1881 the total number granted in the
United States was 2O762. In 1902 the
number had risen to 35,S46 and doubt
less in the years since there has been a
further increase. Such being the case IT
seems to those who take an interest in
the question that the time has come to
make an effort to check what they re-
gard as a very serious evil. II is be-
lieved that a national congress will he
able TO devise uniform divorce legisla-
ton that would be acceptable to most or
all OF the states. At all events a move
ment would thus be started which II is
reasonably thought would at least be
productive OF reforms in divorce laws
generally.
It is unquestionable that the varying
/ laws Of different states are productive of
much harm. OF our forty-five states, one
does not grant divorce for any cause.
In the others the legal causes are many
and diverse, varying from adultery 10
