OCTOBER A FINE MONTH

October is really the best month In the
year to set out and transplant such
plants as the peony. This grand old flow
er is generally put out in spring. after its
roots have begun the work OF the season,
and whatever disturbance they get then
affects them more than at any other tine
throughout the year But ~ they are
planted IN fall while they are, to a cer-
tain extent, dormant. the work OF the sea-
son being fully completed. they do not re-

The trand OF fashion in regard 20 tailor

this costume OF dark grey and green

ing the aim OF the modistes TO avoid
over-tightness. The little coat barely COW
ers the hips and has vest of light-color-
ed cloth stitched with silk braids and
trimmed with plal nsilk buttons.
The sleeves are long and ample. but
not too full. They are gauged into cuffs
OF the sam material, trimmed with n

row silk braid. Nothing Is SO smart Just
now as these little hip coats which
strike the medium between the bolero and
the three-quarter coat Waistcoats also
play an important part In the making OF
smart tailored gowns. a new cretonne

THE YELLOW ROOM.
A NEW DIVORCE RULE.

n dispatch from Philadelphia an
nounces the adoption there by the com
mon pleas court No. . OF rule that in
divorce suits where "the statutory Of
fence" is charged counsel must submit a
decree for the signature OF one Of the
judges in which II is agreed that the re-
spondeut shall not marry the correspond
ent in the lifetime Of the libellant.
This Ia more than a little hard TO un-
dersand. In the first place. sucn a de-
termination as that respondent may not
marry correspondent would seem TO be
for legislative rather than judicial max
ing. In the next place. though II is OBJ
vious enough that In many cases such
prohibition would be In the line Of public
policy and tend 10 protect what is called
the sanctity OF marriage, there are other
cases in which II might have a directly
contrary effect. at least TO the extent
that IT would prevent such little better
ment OF A bad situation was possible.
And suppose the respondent refuses 20
sign or consent 10 any such agreement
as that which II Is proposed 10 demand?
Then. apparently. the whole action would
come 10 an end-an end in many ways
unsatisfactory 10 all except those who
hold that there should be no divorce I'm
any circumstances Yet our dispatch said
that the new rule would come up for
consideration at the next meeting Of the
board Of judges. and that the eXpecta-
tion was that II would be approved by
all the courts
Unless our understanding OF the in
novation is inaccuracies we'll may be
some highly interesting complications

| often be ignored with safety by those
who take the simple precaution Of cross

they were passed they would have been so emas-
culated in the interest of the railroad trust the oil
trust and the wood alcohol trust as 10 have been
more a mockery that a benefit to the people.
Mr.. Grangers action was prompted by no par
tisan motives, but by desire to aid the president
in securing legislation that would be boon to the
people of the whole country. Senator Aldrichs
antagonsm was the result of his close alliance
with the trusts of whose interests rather than those
OF the people, he has constituted himself the special
guardian in the upper branch of the national legs-
lature.
Closing his letter Mr. Granger makes this sig
niicant statement IF | am elected 10 congress |
shall endeavor To- serve my district upon the same
principles that have guided me in the past | shall
shrk no responsibility or vote. | shall support by
my vote and action measures | believe TO be right,
whether they originate at the White House on
the Democratic side of the chamber | shall strive
earnestly for the interests of my district and OF the
whole people. and ! shall look to my own CON
science to guide me in my actions"
Here we have clearly revealed the most de-
srabe, useful and worthy type OF public servant
the man who puts the welfare OF the people above
party considerations the man who is broad-minded
and patriotic enough to support the good that
comes from his political opponents; man who
though Democrat willingly gave his voice and
vote TO aid a Republican executive in securing
beneficial legislation that was opposed by the Re-
publican senior senator from Rhode Island, who is
the recognized champion in the senate of some OF
the most grasping and menacine trusts in the
country.
If Mr. Granger is not reelected by a vastly
increased plurality it will be because the electorate
in the Second district recognizes neither honest and
able service, unfinching and fearless devotion
to their interests and the interests of the whole
people

WHEN FATHER KNOWS

And what is stranger. your boy is grow
Ing up. Some day he will be man; some
day he will be where you are, and life
will have pushed off on him the RESPONSE
bilities you bear today.
And yet-God forgive usi-too many Of
us fathers are trusting schools and clubs
boys for this inevitable usurpation. We
are too busy to give them the compan-
ionship we owe them; too tired and irri-
table 10 read the promise OF strength in
their restlessness: too Indifferent TO their
unspoken hopes To share In and shape
their ambitions. Life and work close in
upon us and we forget that they and not
we ourselves are 10 be our successors.
We have not yet reached the blear-
eyed Utopia i'm which parents breed chill
dren and society brings them up. De-
spite the polygamy and polyandry OF the
divorce courts we are still n nation OF
parents and children. And just because
we are thus settled in families. fathers
and mothers ought 10 be friends OF their
children. The more complicated our So
cial life becomes, the more imperative
does this duty and-as all sermons say
| this privilege become. IL Is not merely
| that such friendships make parents better
parents and children better men and wo-
men; they will make more gentle that ap-
preaching usurpation which for a moment
| startled us when we saw our boys could
run almost as wisely and as vigorously as
we. For we shall surrender TO friends.
Schools and school teachers are no sub
| stitutes for fathers and mothers. The
winter has it's opportunities just as truly
| as has the summer. And the home can
have it's friendships for father and boy
| Just as truly as have the trail and the
