AMONG the laws enacted last win
ter by our state legislature, was one
absolutely prohibiting divorced people
from marrying within a year after the
decree had been granted. It is good
law, but would have been better, had
five years been incorporated in the bill
instead of one, for there would be few
er separations simply because the par.
ties who had transferred their love to
others and looked to the courts for a
release from the bonds that have be
come disagreeable and thew forget their
promises to love and honor each other.
The promiscuous granting of divor-
ces has for years been national dis
grace and the more difficult separations
can be made the better it will be for
society. The writer has often thought
that should there be fewer causes rec
Ognized for divorce, there would be
less incompatability of temper anC
husband and wife manage to bear with
each other and live together. The
trouble is, that in entering into the
marrige relation, the contracting par
ties are usually to anxious to get mar
ried and take no thought for the flu
ture, aud after their return again te
their normal condition they think they
have made a mistake and then want tC
be released. Make the obtaining O
separations more diffiult and society
will be benefited

worth our especial study.
We have discovered that they can
teach US some things in the realm of
spirit.
For instance
Our pert photographers have long
pOked fun at the so called .sancestor
worship" of the Japanese. We Lave
had small understanding of what that
"worship" means. 1t is not mere wor-
ship of ancestors 1t is worship of the
race. 1t compartments Prosperity as
we'll as ancestry. 1t is recognition of
the solidarity of the race.
Westerners run to individualism.
They are selfish even in their altruism.
They laugh at the thought of any VEN
GRAFTON of their grandfathers or any
worry over the generations of the fu-
ture. The japanese, on the other hand,
have so cultivated the spirit of race
patriotism that they deem it the great
est glory to venerate the heritage of
the fathers and to die if need be for
the good of the coming generations.
Such altruism is almost inconceiable
to the western mind.
But the westerner can understand the
practical outworking of such a spirit.
He can appreciate the value of such
deals when they are written out in
great victories on land and sea-
Let US learn the lesson.
Because OF our intense individualisn
selfshness and graft permeate our so
ciety. The heroisms of the past fail te
move us. We do despite to the spiri
of the fathers. We care little for the
generations to come Let them take care
of themselves! We must live in the
present. We must have and hold.
May we not take little to heart thu
gentle but sublime devotion of the little
brown people to the legacies of the pas
and their ambition to perish. if neces
sary, for the good of the ages to come

Random Thoughts.

Senator Tom G. PIatt thinks his life
has been wasted-but he should re-
member the fun he has had and when
he gets out of the Woods, Mae B, he
will change his mind and not regard
life as an idle dream.
RECENTLY, Gov LaFollette delivered
his lecture on Representative Govern
at the Chautauqua at Joliet, ILL.,, and
the editor of the Chicago Chroni-
Gle critized the subject matter OF the
lecture quite severely. The governor
is sometimes correct for which he is
entitled to credit, but we fail to see
what representative government has to
do with Wisconsin at the present time,
when one man dictates all the nomina-
tions and appointments in the state.
Possibly that may be his idea of rep

resentative government.

THERE S quite a controversy in pro-
should be used as badge of mourning.
Why wear either? Is it not parading
ones grief for sympathy? The public
is not interested in the loss of our dear
and the habiliments of sorrow are
only outward sign to convey the i'm
preston of our grief which should be to
scared for ostenta tious display.
JOHN D. Rockefeller is reputed to
be worth a billion of dollars and yet
he is poor mortal who can neither
eat nor sleep whose life is burden.
Although most of us would like to
be rich, yet we would not exchange
stomachs with him if he gave US his
billion of dollars to boot.
The revolutionary party in Russia
must be berefted of all reason or sense
NOT even horse sense They propose
to depose the Car, elevate his infant
! son to the throne, who is to be govern
ed until he reaches his majority 10y a
regency composed Of dukes, who ever
| have been the enemies of the people Of
I that misgoverned and unfortunate
country. 1t would be good policy to
baui the dukes, Or better still, put
them ou5 OF business and let the Car
remain on the throne, who with the
advice and aid of wise cOunseilors
could bring peace and prosperity
to the inhabitants. Nothing is to be

troll Of a lot Of cruel, ignorant grand

decision as great victory and adver-
tise itself accordingly. But the inves-
tigation developed the fact that much
trouble sprung from personal jealousy
between Public Printer Palmer and his
foreman Mr.. Ricketts,. 1t is possible
that the matter will be finally settled
by the appointment of a new Public
Printer, but it is equally true that the
foreman will not be promoted for his
part in the affair.
There has been some suggestion of
appointing Gen. Leonard Wood gov
ernor OF the canal zone with view to
cleaning up the Isthmus of Panama
while the work of building the canal
is going forward. Whether it will
amount to anything it is still too early
to determine, but if it were done, the
President would have a strong personal
friend on the spot on whose ability and
whose reports he could thoroughly
depend. There would probably be the
usual cry of favolism, but Gen. Wood
did good job in cleaning up Cuba
after the war and the Panama job is
one that needs strong man to cope
with it.

A WEEKLY newspaper explains as
follows why editors get rich: After a
good deal Of study and worry we have
at last ''fgured' out why so MANY
country editors get rich Here is the
secret of success: A child is born 10
the neigh bOrh0Od; the attending physi
clan gets $40; the ed or gives the loud
lunged youngster and the 'happy par
ents" d send-off and gets so 1t is
christened; the mister gets ST.. 90 and
the editor gets 500 1t grows up and
marries; the editor publishes another
long winded, howery article and tells a
dozen lies about the "beautiful ac-
complished bride; the minister gets $40
and a piece of cake and the editor gets
5000. In the course of time it dies
and the doctor gets form S. 90 to 800;
the minister perhaps gets another $15;
the undertaken takes from $25 to $3.50.
the editor publishes a notice of the
death. an obituary, lodge and society
resolutions, lot of poetry and free
card of thanks and gets 10000. No
wonder so many of the country editors
get rich.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent
Washington, d. c. July 20,1905.

The fag end of the worst hot spell
that Washington has suffered in years
finds the Capital very dead on the sur
face though the wheels of government
continue to grind regularly in the
Departments. The President has fed
away to his summer home at Oyster
Bay and much of the government bust
ness is being conducted by wire. The
President has private telephone line
to the White House and any Cabinet
officer who wishes can talk to him
direct without danger of leaks or
interruption. Mr. Root came to
Washington for one day this week and
took the oath of office as Secretary of
State, but he only stayed over night
and went back to New York, which
will be his headquarters till September.
He will make one of the most popula
Secretaries Of State in this country
that we have ever had. What the
effect of his Office holding will be on
mis- attitude toward the Presidency in
1908 is a problem. 1t is violating no
confidence to say that he expressed
himself before leaving the War Depart
ment as entirely averse to the nomina-
ton. Whether his views have changed
since then is q question. He is warm
friend Of President Roosevelt and it
was at considerable sacrifice that he
reentered the Cabinet as Secretary of
State.
The resignation of Mr.. John HYDE
as Statistician Of the Agricultural
Department came at time when it
was entirely welcome to the govern
ment and it was accepted without hes
itation by the Secretary of Agriculture,
though that gentleman had to be
informed beforehand that he was not
to hesitate about taking in the letter
whenever there was a knock at his
door. Secretary Wilson has proved a
very good Secretary of Agriculture.
He has attended to the recommends
tons of the skilled heads of his scien-
tific division and has done a great deal
of practical good for the farmers. But
he has proved during the present crisis
in the Department that he is extl emely
lenient in his judgment of men and in
that much he has been a disappoint-
ment. Still the talk of his resignation
being called for by the President was
entirely outside the mark.
Mr.. Hyde put his resignation on the
ground of failing health. This was
probably in large measure a true
excuse. He took eight months Off in
Europe for the same reason less than
two years ago. The work for his divi.
sion calls for strong alert man who
can afford his full time to- it and as Mr..
Hyde evidently cannot do that, his
retirement was accepted with feeling
of relief almost amounting to pleasure.
The discussion in the Government
Printing Office over the relative merits
of two classes of type setting machines,
has concluded and the report is now in
the hands of the government Of
course the company which is victorious
in the contest, and one must be so in
the nature of things. will hail the
