oERe LEADERS ARE WANTED

Those newspapers which predict
that Roosevelt will be nominated
by both parties in 1908 and forced
to accept reflect little credit on
their political knowledge. In the
first place, Mr.. Roosevelt's own
declaration has placed him beyond
the running. In the next place,
while party lines have grown less
rigid, neither party is ready to
fuse with the other. So long as the
present form of government exists
there will be political parties, and
political parties mean that party
organization is essential.
The Republican party is certain
ly not willing or ready to go into
partnership with the Democratic
party, and the Democratic party,
while not in a prosperous or salts
factory condition, is far from be-
ing defunct. 1t will be a sad day
for this country VIXEN it becomes
moribund.
The party has been torn and
rent through divergent opinions,
Encouragement and unwise lead
ership, but it is not in hopeless
condition. re-
One of its Weakness
Of cobarape ---'aln- ,,sses is its lack
Lc,.4-d sSGGcce. There are too many
1t3aGGtors. The radical, Socialistic
element is seeking to obtain con-
troll, and if it succeeds not much
of the party will survive in such
organization, except its name, even
if that adheres.
If the more conservative element
retains control the radical element
will probably set up house on its
own account. In either event there
will be losses and additions. But
the element that has made the
party vital force and a powerful
restraining influence will not per-
nit Democratic principles, in the
fundamental sense. to die, and
could not if it would. The Demo
cratic party must survive. 1t can
not be absorbed by Republicanism
or Rooseveltism.
The greatest lack and need OF
the party is in leadership. With
strong leadership the party can al
least serve a useful purpose as ar
opposition party and restraining
force. To talk of it surrendering
to Roosevelt is to deride it.

Assuming the Hu.baud's Name,

The custom which makes 1t proper for the wife to assume the name of her husband at marriage is involved In much obscurity A recent authority advances the opinion that it Originat- ed from Roman custom and became common after the Roman occupation of England. Thus, Julia and Octayia, married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey and Octayia of Cicero, and in later times the married women of most Flu ropean countries signed their names in the same way, but omitted the of" In spite of this theory 1t is fact that as late as the sixteenth and the be- ginning of the seventeenth century Catherine Parr signed her name with out any change, though she had been twice married We also hear of Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley, ani Arabella Stuart. not Seymour. etc. Some think that the custom originated with the Scriptural idea that the husband and wife are one. This was the rule of law as far back as 126S, and it was decided in the case of Bon versus Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth, that woman by marriage loses her for mer name and legally receives the name of her husband.

Cleaning Furs,

It is impossible for furs to go through whole season without con tracting a quantity of dust and dirt. A light-colored fur. of course, shows how soiled it Is, but the dark ones, not displaying their dirt are allowed to get dirtier and dirtier Furs may read fly be cleaned at home simply by rub bling them with bran. Buy pound of bran. divide it into two portions aud place one ill the oven to heat. Spread the fur on paper on table and rub it well all over with the cold bran. Then shake out the bran and brush the fur with a soft hat brush When the rest of the bran feels hot rub 1t evenly into the fur in the same man ner as before. Shake 1t out and brush it till the fur is quite free from all bran and dust. The satin lining of the fur will also need cleansing. Squeeze out clean sponge in warm water and rub the satin gently with it, but be careful not to let the satin get too wet. Rub it dry with cloth and hang it fin warm place to dry and then in a cold draft to air 1t.

So marked Is the falling off in the number of college men seeking to en- ter the ministry that a conference has been held in Boston 10 consider the matter and take some action in re- gard to l.. The conference consisted of prominent educators, editors and clergymeI and was the first of a se
 ries to be held in different cities with view of encouraging young men to enter the ministry. It Is the purpose also to find out the causes why so few are disposed to follow the calling. One serious difficulty that stands in the way of the young man who thinks of entering the pulpit is his uncertainty as to the doctrines he shall preach. He may enter the divinity school and after three years of close study find that the particular theology to which he has given special attention is no longer tenable, at least by him. He can not preach what he does not him self believe and he can not afford the time to go over the ground in another institution. Theology is in peculiar state of transition to-day. Archaelogi- cal researches and the higher criticism have disturbed the old foundations and 1t is wise man who knows what to accept and what to reject. Wiser still does he have to be who would guide others in this respect. The congrega
 tions to-day are far more critical and exacting than they were fifty or even twenty years ago. Books are plenty and the daily newspapers keep even the masses well informed on public matters. People ire not as dependent on the pulpit for information, religious and otherwise, as they were genera ton or two ago The minister does not stand out today as the one we'll informed man in the community. The clergyman of today is also likely to face empty pews. Formerly all so
 called respectable persons went to church. either from sense of duty or from motives of policy. To-day there Is not that feeling of obllgat ton and the clergy are often at their wits
 ends to know how to build up the church and secure an audience These are some of the facts which the con
 ferences will have to consider when they think of urging young men to en- ter the ministry. These conditions do not mean that religion is on the wane. That is impossible, for the religious nature is an essential part of the hu- man race. IL simply means that forms are changing and the new times call for new methods.

Lesson for Mothers to Heed.

l recently read an account of young man condemned to death for murder. who when given opportunity tD speak from the scaffold. stated that he had been brought to his present condition by the ideas instilled into him by an oyerindulgent mother, who had ever taken his part, whether he had been in ihe right or wrong, and so had trained him to indulge his own will and disregard the rights of others.
 I know case of young ntan coil fined in the Chicago jail, the only chill of devoted and indulgent mother. Through childhood the mothers loving heart had ever made excuses for her boys faults. and she always took the position that his wrong actions were justified under the circumstances. By always excusng her son. whether he was fin the right or wrong. she uncon- sciously trained him to disregard the rights of others and prepared him for his fall. Coming to Chicago. this young man secured position of trust. Falling in with extravagant -cOmpan- ions. he used his employers money, not apparently. being able to appreci- ate the gravity of his action, until he could hide it no longer, when he went East to his mother, apparently think ing that somehow-if his trouble fo, lowed him-she would be able 10 pro tect him. When officers called for him in the night he was apparently as much surprised as was hs broken hearted mother. whom he had not taken into his confidence. This mother HOW hlames the boys friends. whom she accuses of being the cause of her sons downfall. not realizing that the fault lies in her sons character and, primarily. in herself. in training her son to disregard the rights of others.
 Many loving mothers are uncon- sciously so training tbeir children to- day, not realizing that they are look ing only to the present qualification of their children, rather than building up their characters as a foundation for success and happiness.-N. James, in Chicago American.

| herself and she makes all her friends equally so.
 For the genuine invalid l have sin cere sympathy, for the imitation one, none. It Is simply form of hysteria and needs scant sympathy.
 A woman takes it into her head that she Is nervous, that she can't do cer- tain things. Her family. feeling sorry for her, give in to her, and in few months they have an established in valid on their hands. It is pure selfish ness, for deep in her heart the woman knows that she is fraud. After pampering and indulging herself for while her nerves really do go to pieces and then she is indeed nervous wreck.
 If she would only make up her mind to conquer this feeling in the begin ming she could do so. Let her change her way of living. go out more, take exercise, become interested in new book. adopt some interesting fad, any thing rather than burden herself and her family with case of nerves
 When woman finds herself getting tired out mentally and physically it is good plan to go to bed for week and live on milk, taking three or four quarts a day She should see no one more than is absolutely necessary. just rest and sleep day and night. Or if she feels she can't do this, let her go of on visit for week or so. It may be hard to do these things. but we all know the old saying, 'an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of | cure'
 The duties of wife and mother are many and difficult, but as she has as sumed them she should live up to them, and the woman who allows her self to become nervous wreck can never properly attend to her duties.
