The unmarried editorial writer of the
Cedar Rapids Republican has dug UP
an old German custom Under which
people who could not get along we'll In
the married state We're locked up In one
room for stated periods. There they
had to learn to like each other, and
when they had learned it thoroughly,
that is, when they were ready to cry
enough. they were released. He would
like to substitute this German method
for the present divorce methods of the
American courts. and anxiously asks.
"How would it work? And how would
you like a treatment of it?'
Correcting the erroneous statement
that the rural mail carriers would make
no deliveries on Christmas day, the
Manson Democrat complains "the reg
ulations of the department. make it
imperative that they make their usual
rounds on Christmas, hence the deliv-
cry was made In this instance it
would seem that the great United
States government places more Inn
portance on the birthday Of other great
men than upon that of Jesus Christ"
'1f Iowa is to have primary law for
the direct nomination of all officers, the
votes should win, no matter whether
he has majority or only a plurality Of
all the votes cast by his party" insists
the Brooklyn Chronicle. 'The fuss
about the dangers Of plurality nomi-
nations appears to us to be mostly
insincere IL we are to have a pri-
mary for the nomination Of all officers
of all parties, let us at least have as
few frills and furbelows about 1t as
possible. We have never pretended to
be In favor Of such a method as the
best means Of nominating state or dis
trict officers, but there Is need Of eau
ton at the present time that in fleeing
from the acknowledged evils OF the
caucus system we do not adopt a COM
promise system with the evils OF both
the caucus and the primary and the
merits Of neither. II we take the pri-
mary as remedy for our political
troubles let us take it straight"
The Newton Record believes "most
everybody is reconciled to the provis-
ions OF the new pure food law except
the distillers," and noting that "the
officers OF the big whisky trust APP
peared before Secretary Wilson the
other day and pleaded with him to al
low them to sell most any kind Of stuff.
and label it whisky" says "that gil
gantic combination ought to be glad
enough to get the chance to sell their
poisonous compounds under any kind
OF restrictions without pleading for
special privileges. They have a great
many more privileges than they should
have now"
BE cheerful and the world will be
cheerful with you" counsels the Ames
Worry and you will
have sour stomach and you will be
carried off wrinkled and prematurely
old. Every woman who worries over
her ambitions and imagines that some
one is trying to take away her glories,
will get wrinkled and when she ought
to look her best will show an advance
of ten years each recurring birthday.
Don't worry. don't fret, don't knock.
Be as good as you can Push up the
blinds and get the sunshine, and you
will be happy"

Kindly Trait 10 q King.
rCleyeland Leader.1

King Edward starts many fashions.
He has been doing 1t all his life. Usu-
ally his Ideas are eartorlal. Occa-
sionally, tho, King Edward strikes out
an idea which all the world, fashion
able or commonplace. can approve. His
latest is one OF great humanity. No
horse is ever sold from the royal Sta
bles after II has outIived ftgusefulness
1t is put to death painlessly. This is
a source of much financial loss to the
king, always hard up. for England Is
crowded with tuft hunters, who would
pay exorbitant prices for his old horses
just to brag about them.
The condition OF former United
States Senator t,affery at New Orleans
is still very grave. Only slight hopes
for his recovery are entertained.
