Boston.-Nine pedestrians have lost
their lives and "a have been injured

They knew. as W. know, that in the final analysis, law is the very life Of
liberty. and without law and obedience to il, there is despotsm, and despot-
ism is tyranny.
We should inculcate a wholesome respect for law and for established
authority. We should see to it that those who enact the law and those
who administer it are fair, just and incorruptibe men;-men who neither
wealth nor the Establishments of power nor prejudice can swerve from a
h!ghminded, honorable course Laws should be the concrete expression
of the conscience and intelligent judgment of the people. Their purpose
should he as broad and comprehensive as m the rights of all who owe ale
glance to a common flag. The laws should be enacted SO a to comprehend
the welfare of the great body of the people. The laws simply protect us in
the enjoyment of our rghtful opportunities. 1t is left for us to work out
our W destiny in the exercise of our own judgment and by the force of
our own ability.
We are placed here and must run our race together. We must have a
regard for each other and beware that we dc not trample upon the rights
of our neighbor. While we care for ourselves, we must also have a thought
for those about us, and, so far as we arc able, help others who IT worthy
and in need, TO bear their burdens. We cannot get on without each other
if we would and we would not if we could. A man who takes no thought of
his neighbor is not worthy of thought himself.

Bees Swarm on sIeepino Bow.

Somerset, Pa.-Apparently to match
the remarkable weather there have
been many remarkable stories of the
vagaries Of bees in their annual
swarmings, but the oldest to date
comes from Mill Run, near Addison.
Somerset county, where members of
the Frazee family hold a reputation as
apiarists.
Hiram Frazee came home from work
in a field last week, and on a bench in
the apiary yard he saw his nine-year-
old son fast asleep. From head to
foot the youngster was covered with
bees to the depth of several inches. it
seemed, but he slept on.

been crippled and had crawled upon

of the great dam in Egypt by which

The Souvenir Mania.

1t happened on one of the United
States cruisers at Hampton Roads,
says the Washington Herald. A lieu.
tenant, having met two very charming
ladies' while ashore, invited them on
board for luncheon. They came and
were shown over the ship. They lin
gered long in the ~lieutenant's room,
which was daintily furnished, and
they admired his photographs of
home. When he was summoned on
deck he left them there. Returning.
he took them to luncheon, and, hav-

Gus himself so as to get into uni

ton on his best coat had beer cut of,
and then he remembered that one of
his fair guests had been rather impor-
tunate on the souvenir question. He
got her alone after luncheon and &C
cused her of the theft, and after some
prevarication she confessed that the
buttons were in her corsage. With
some firmness the lieutenant led the
culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to
the denuded coat on the bunk, pro-
duced needle and thread and, going
out, locked the door on the outside.
In half an hour he returned. unlocked
the door, found that his coat was once
more in excellent order, and then with
great gallantry bowed the lady over
the side, She has not been invited
to luncheon on the same ship since.

At last there is to be a real Ameri.
can opera, the scene being laid in the
gold fields of California. 1t may or
may not be regretted that the writer
and composer is not an American;
that can be decided after the opera
has been produced. But the fact is
that he is Giacomo Puccini, the
Italian. He says the idea came to him
after witnessing a western play in
New York. Certainly there are limit
less possibilities in the phases of pio-
neer western life, now rapidly passing
away, says Troy Times, and our story
writer's and playwrights have done
much toward utilizing the material.
But grand opera founded on life in a
mining camp must strike the world
ias n real novelty, and there will be
much curiosity to see how the prima
donna, the emo Tobusto and the
basso profundo, to say nothing of the
ballet and chorus, will deal with the
wild and woolly."

Foundations of faith grows less and less.
This indubtabe fact does not spell irreigion, but it at least hints at a
larger Righteousness than the world has known. Church attendance is no
test of a mans righteousness. Even total abstinence in this regard would
not prove him irreligious.
Many streams of tendency are uniting to swell the food of seeming

PITTseURe WOMEN IN MAD so
CIAL RACE.
Many Are Driving Their Husbands
Bankrupt by Trying to Present
Appearance of Wealth on
Moderate Salaries.

Pfttsburg. Pa.-"So mad has the
race for social supremacy that
many owners of houses worth from
Sc. 900 to $4,000, which they have ac-
ouired after years of toll and saving,
are mortgaging them in order 10 buy
automobiles. SO fearful are they OF
being outshone by their neighoors
that they are resorting to the most
reckless extravaganza and trying 10
present the appearance of wealth on
an income not exceeding $loo a
month"
This is a portion of the report OF a
committee of the New Era Womens
club, of Pittsburg, which has been IN
yestieating social conditions in TINS
city.
Something must be dom and done
quickly" the report says, 10 prevent
the women of Pittsburg from resort
ing to the means they do to acquire
social prestige in their set. Exisuhg
conditions in Pittsburg are such that
active measures must be taken
Mothers are neglecting their chlidren'
and young wives are driving the'r nus
bands to the wall for the sake Oh 'he
appearance of wealth.
The club women charge that women
and girls who have married men re
ceiving salaries from 500 to $3.50 a
month are gradually driving their Is
bands bankrupt, in many instances
for the sake of possessing some means
of distinguishing themselves.
Homes which have been secured
through years of saving and hard Ia
Dor are being threatened with the
auctioneer's hammer or the 1orecios'
ing of a mortgage because the women
have seen their neighbor's big red
touring car and do not wish her TO
gain the reputation of possessing
something they cannot have.
After trying to figure out how to Sc
cure an automobile by saving from
her husbands weekly or monthly In
come. the wife with said aspiration
concludes it is not feasible and casts
about for some other means to raise
the money. The automobile by this
time has become a permanent hXture
in her brain and she must have one.
How to get it is the chief and most
important point.
Many ways suggest themselves, but
none practicable until the thought
strikes her that they can get none
on their home by taking a mortgage.
The interest and part of the principal
can be paid in monthly installments.
1t is a brilliant thought and seems to
afford an easy way out of the diff
Guilty.
The husband strenuously objects at
first until the woman's p~leadings and
tears bring the desired result, and
the deal is consummated. 1t looks at
first as though the mortgage can be
paid off easily, but something turns up
the baby gets sick and the auto
uses an ~immoderate quantity of gaso-
line. The monthly installment on the
mortgage is not paid. The salary, all
of 1t, must be used to keep up the
house and pay the unexpected ex-
penses that have bee incurred.
Pittsburg club women interested in
the subject ask: by what means can
a stop be put to this state of affairs"
They agree that the solution of the
problem is not clear. but that some
thing must be done.

The church is plainly monarchic and autocratic
in its organization and in its attitude toward men.
The process OF democratizing the church has but Just
begun. The independent congregational organization
is the only democratic form, and even then it is not
democratic in spirit until all tests of orthodoxy
are abolished and the society recognizes that the gen.

Our fathers believed in a government of law,-law
written by representatives of the people, chosen by the
people themselves acting in their sovereign capacity.
They realized that this was to be a great country, and
they knew that if it were to attain to the full measure OF
their best expectations, it must be a country where the
law, and the law alone, should be supreme. They knew
full well that to be great, it must be governed by just
aws.-law which, so far as human foresight could
devise, should protect every citizen in the enjoyment of
the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
