Pulpit Pessimism.

From the Chicago Chronicle
Almost at the same moment that
Chicago preacher was making the
declaration that a Christian cannot be-
come "a pessimist a New York police
man was taking from the pocket of an
individual who had committed suicide
a newspaper clipping with the caption
"Pessimistic views of life by clergymen
who think Il has little Joy"
II 30 be true that "A real Christian
cannot be a pessimist the fact Is a
severe arraignment Of "a large percent
age Of the ordained guides and teachers
fof Christianity Perhaps there is less
pessimism IN the pulpit now than in
the earlier days Of the church IN this
country when the prevailing doctrine
was that the degree of happiness 20
be attained In the world beyond was
In direct proportion to the amount of
lunhappiness experienced IN this life.
With due allowance however for the
cheerfulness that has been infused into
/ christianity by the practical philoso-
pliers among the clergy. pessimism is
still a characteristic Of the Christian
pulpit Of America. This Is due I'm part
20 the temperament Of the individuals
who enter the ministry. many of whom
are grave. solemn-visaged. mournful-
looking men. thoroughly imbued with
| christianity in the abstract. but lack

EDITORIAL OPINION
Fitting the Army.

From the Nashville American.
The subsistence officers of the United
States army are engaged in the prob
lem OF finding a compact army ration.
The object is to obtain a device to go
with the soldiers kit already in use,
and which will contain three rations-
ration being one days supply Of food,
or three meals The food is to be so
prepared as to reduce the weight and
bulk The ration win probably consist
of bread. meat. coffee and sugar. The
coffee can be easily compressed, but
with bread and meat that is another
matter. Canned meat and hard bread
will probably be used. A proper bag,
or haversack. for carrying this ration
must be devised. The present haver-
sack is not suitable. Another detail Of
the soldiers OUTFIT which is receiving
attention is sock suitable for the
army.
The shrinkage of socks has given the
Quartermasters much trouble. Very
good socks are issued to the soldiers.
but an objection Is that they are in
clined to shrink after passing through
the laundry. A sock partly OF cotton
and partly of wool is TO be tried. A
new shoe is also to be adopted-one
that is broader at the toes than across
the bah of the feet. soldier with
sore feet is almost useless. old soldiers
have learned the trick Of soaping their
socks inside. and II is very good way
to prevent the feet from being skinned
on long marches.
Such details as those may seem un-
important to the inexperienced but
they are Of vital Importance. Atten-
ton to such details has been Of in-
calcuable advantage to the Japanese

u EPUBLICAN Glasses in the Sum
IN day Star has thought in the
following worth consideration:
Since the coal oil inspector and his
friends desire to tamper with the
present ordinance Il might be the time
TO consider the advisability OF abol-
ishing the Office of coil oil inspector.
It is of no earthly use and serves only
TO increase the cost Of oil to the poor
people those who burn oil because
they cannot afford to use gas or cleo
uicity. The ofice was created 80
years ago when the method OF refn-
ing oil was not perfected as il is to-
day. -Four different rehneries cause
different tests OF oil and as the nap
tina or gasoline was then not ex-
tracted. as II is today. It made oil be-
low certain test inhammabe. Today
oil is refined by a standard method
and the demand for naptha is so great
that IL would be n considerable loss
to the refneries TO not take II out OF
the oil. Thirty years ago explosions
! of household oil lamps were frequent.
but they never occur now There is
mo longer any need for the Office OF
coal oil inspector and IL the interest of
the people is considered by Council
IA win not only defeat the proposed
lnew ordinance but will also repeal
the existing one respecting the in
,spection OF oil. The Office is one of
iegalized graft as 1t imposes upon the
people "A tax for a service that is not
lonly unnecessary but which is seldom
performed. To take nearly $4,000 out
OF the pockets OF the people to main.
tain an office under such circum.
stances is "A wrong that should moi

to the members Of Council to pu
themselves on record on this import,

TIE OYSTER.

M R. OYSTER We salute you; our
III hats are off, whether you
come from Chincoteague. Maurice river
or the Murderkin fats our homage Is
yours.
Men have to plant corn and SOW
wheat; there is plowing and harvest
ing; but the oyster-weI. that grows
OF itself and an that we have to do is
TO 90 and take it. Were other foods
as plentiful without work on our part
we should grow indolent and impu-
dent.
Experts have learned to cook the BIZ
valve in numerous ways. from a fry
TO a cocktail" but strange to say
he harmonizes best with the stom-
ach's highest aspirations when not
cooked at all.
The way to enjoy oysters is 20 go
where they grow. wade out on the aats
at low water and rake up few; take
them ashore and with an old Barlow
knife. Open. and swallow them. A
Barlow knife is the best, because we
have tried it and know.
An expert viii tell you that there
Nre two kinds OF oysters that are moi
st to eat-those that require salt and
hose that are very large. Neither
has the genuine oyster flavor. Th'
former Is found in water almost fresh
and the latter is so much blubber.
When the season opens the restaur-
ants do fourishing business. Every
countryman when visiting the city or.
ders an oyster stew and eats it with
susto- II perchance it is not a stew
hen it Is certain to be fry Will,

pans.
Down IN lower Delaware and on tn,
Eastern Shore they indulge in oystei
critters. and how anybody accustome,
70 such diet can order unpalatshl
fries and insipid stews ia the cit,
restaurants is too much fer us.
That Is about all we know about tn

SIXTY DIVORCE CASES.

VAHEN we think that there are
w sixty divorce cases on the cali
endar for the September term of the
New castle Superior Court one Won
ders what there is in our modern So
cial conditions to lead so many per-
sons in this direction.
Undoubtedly many Of these cases
will be withdrawn. but the filing Of
such suit probably precludes any
degree of happiness afterwards. The
court may dismiss others but misery
stalks behind am adverse decision. A
few win be granted and the parties
win be legally separated, but spec
ter VIII dog their footsteps ever after
wards. and there win at best remain

joined together no man may put asun-

Now look at the list; we daresay
there are no Catholics among the
number; probably there are few Epis-
copalians. II our surmise Is correct.
what does 1t prove? Does il not show
that the church as we'll as the state
wields mighty influence in such
matters And doesn't it put it ur
squarely to religious bodies to do the
duty that lies before them?
The objection is that legal separa-
tion is preferable to marital purga-
tory. but the answer does not COM
prehend the whole truth. For how
many couples does one know wh'
have az some time had serious differ
ences which in time have been heal
ed. leading in time to content il no
to happiness
II this is true. isn't it also true tina
the ban Of the church on divorce in
duces discontented couples to scare
for basis OF concord and to oompos
! their differences
The knowledge that the courts ar
open to grant legal separations an
that the church TO which the lltgant
belong has no word of reproach, un
doubtedly leads to the fillng Of man
suit. which could the act be deferre
foF years would never be filed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There ia
only one way to cure deafness. and that
is BY constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition Of the

When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation

Suppose Senator Alice is inspired by
selfish motives or suppose the only
impulse which moves him is the good

These leaders know very well that in
many districts Of the state the negroes

Editor Advertiser: The Executive
Committee of the Republican party
should announce at once that itsis the
right of every voter at the primaries
to elect delegates to the County Con-
vention to write on his ballot the name
of the person whom he desires to be
nominated for the Office of Sheriff of
the county or any other office, so that
the Republican voters of this country
shall choose the nominees of the party
and not the political bosses and ma
nipulators. Let US get the best men
we have in these Islands to commence
with or else we viii soon establish that
we are not prepared for responsible
government.
This election viii decide whether the
people shall rule this Territory and
the Republican party should see to it
that the people shall be given their
right to select the men who shall con-
troll the counties. There is no other
way, and we demand it.
