"Sons and Daughters" the writer does
that which the Sons" themselves de-
clined to do, the latter thus exhibiting
a lack of that seeing vision" which
Du Maurier proclaims a priceless gift.
In other words, the Sons" did not
foresee that declination to receive
the feminine descendants of reVolu-
tionary sires would deprive. the society
Sons of the American Revolution of
an able, ardent and achieving element.
Therefore it came about that the So
ciety Sons of the American Revolu-
ton, organized in 1889, exists as one
organization and the Daughters of the
American Revolution as another.
With the true, clinging nature of
women's hearts, the feminine descend
ants of the revolutionary patriots ap-
pealed to the Sons of the American
Revolution to be taken within the
protecting fold of the masculine So
ciety! The latter, however, displayed
no embracive inclination and threw
the women back upon their own pride
and their own resources.
The result was that in October, 1890,
there was organized the national so
ciety of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. The growth and
activity of the latter body would seem
almost incomprehensible were it not
to be remembered that the spirits of
the men who made and preserved us

scendants; and Woman's enthusiasm.

This, OF course, was the father, so
to speak, of all patriotic organizations.
IT is not, perhaps, widely known that
a society was formed directly after
the formation of the Cincinnati pur-
u6rting to represent the very prin-
ciples of which Washington was such
a warm supporter-that is, the demo
cratic as opposed to the aristocratic
shirt in the country. This second
society was known as the Veteran
Corps of Artillery" It, too, was COM
posed largely of officers of the revo-
Iution and men who had made good
records in that struggle.
It never grew to such proportions
or prominence as the Order of the
Cincinnati, though always highly re-
parded by those who understood it. 1t

society formed of the descendants of

Eligibility in either of the above
mentioned organizations rests upon
lineal descent from one who ser%ed
his or her country during the revolu-
ton, whether in the army or on the
high seas or in giving material aid"
to the infant government Descent
from an officer does not necessarily

Thus a truly American spirit is con-

Besides the Sons of the American

The centennial celebration of 1876
gave an impetus to patriotic impulse
as directed toward organization which
had lain dormant in large measure
since the years Immediately succeed
ing the war of the revolution.
AS all the world knows, the Order
of the Cincinnati was formed imme-
diately upon the cessation of that war
and lust before the disbanding of the
continental army. 1t was composed
of the officers who served through the
struggle, Washington being the presi-
dent of the society. 1t is the only Or
ganization in this country promoting
the rights of primogeniture, and 1t is
said that Washington hesitated ere
granting his approval to such an or
ganization or becoming its president
because of the fear that an aristo-
cratic sentiment would be unduly fos'
tered IN a Q0uOCFdllC COuAIAy'
However, Washington did consent
to take the office, and the organization
exists to this day, commanding the
respect of all men and not conflicting
with the best American spirit. Mem

We often ask"What is Osteopathy?
How does it cure?
Osteopathy is a drugless system of
medicine which seeks to secure in
the human body structural normality
of its parts, upon which their vitality
and proper functioning depend. ''Man
is a machine" as we have said, and
depends. for health, upon the proper
adjustment OF all parts of the MAJ
chine.
The Osteopath examines your body
as skilled mechanic does a machine
that is out of order With detailed
knowledge of anatomy, a sense of
touch developed to a high degree. he
locates the misadjustments and re-
moves 1t by scientific manipulation.
Could anything be more reasonable
or natural?
The great success attending the
Osteopathic treatment is sufficient
evidence of its worth. It is new
force in science and grows in popu-
larity every day with the layman.
If you suffer of any of the diseases
local to Paducah, you will find
Osteopathy the quickest and surest
cure. Malaria, chronic headaches.
liver and stomach and bowel trou-
bles. nervousness, rheumatism, asth-

these ailments yield readily to the
treatment. Phone me, 1907. or call

DAN HANNA TO WED DIvoRcEEG
Report That Salvation Army Officer
Will Perform Ceremony.

Cleveland, June 25.- 1t was re-
ported last night that Dan r. Hanna,
son of the late senator. will be mar
ried today by a Salvation Army OFF,
Ger at his country home in Ravenna,
to Marie Stewart, divorced wife of
Frank Shelly, former clerk of the
Hollenden Hotel here. Color is given
the report by telegraphic message
sent to newspaper here this after
noon by Lieutenant Hampton of the
Salvation Army, saying:
Kindly have reporter at Raven
ma tomorrow. There's something do
ing"
When communicated with at RAJ
VIENNA, Lieutenant Hampton refused
to discuss his message or say whether
he referred to Hanna's prospective
marriage. The fact that Hanna has
figured twice in the divorce courts
would, 1t is believed, render 1t diff
cult to get a regularly ordained min
lister to marry him.

SOCIALISM vs.. cHRIsTIANITY


What is socialism?
The question naturally presents
itself to the mind, when one consid-
ers the various contradictory mani
festations that are paraded by differ
ent kinds and conditions of men un-
der that name
AS exemplified by Count Leo Tolls
toy, at least theoretically. socialism
is wholly altruisdc. Principles of the
community of interest are accepted
by many as the tombstone of the
doctrine, and we have communism.
The outspoken Communists, who
would divide the worlds goods and
share equally. so far as we know,
have nothing of their own to chip in
toward the common fund, and Count
TOlstoy has needed no suggestion
that he surrender title to his ances.
trail estate; so we may ascribe even
to these, the most gentle of the prop
agandists, some very human traits
Recognition of the common broth
erhood Of man, gentleness and sim
plicity mark the teachings of the
great Russian apostle of Socialism.
Then, certainly, class distinction
should play no part in the attitude of
any one representing himself to be a
Socialist. Yet, in this country, In
which before the law absolute equal
ity between man and man is main
tanned. and in viii n the only class
distinctions possible are along indus
trial and religious lines. we see the
most outspoken advocates of so-called
Socialism appealing to artificial class
distinctions and invoking a spirit of
bitterness. ascribing to Socialism a
means by which one industrial class
NAV get the upper hand of another.
Socialism, as Tolstoy represents it.,
is a practical yearning for the ideal
conditions revealed by the teachings
of Christianity. Socialism in this
country embraces the variable tenets
of a political coterie. which if sue
cessful would reyolutionize society,
not for the betterment of society it
self, but for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the social element it represents.
Socialism Is the reverse Of Chris
tianity The latter. recognizing the
fraility of human nature. in an excess
OF divine compassion, brings perfec-
ton down within reach Of mankind.
Socialism, holding up human con-
ception of perfection as the standard.

We have become SO used to blam-
ing everything in any way related to
industrial organization onto the
trusts, that 1t seems but natural to
call on the government to make the
beef trust reduce the price of steak.
An accommodating government, too,
we might add, is not backward in in
vestigating the relations of corporate
combinations to prices of commodi-
ties. But Secretary Wilson, of the
department of agriculture, has given
our judgment a jar, by announcing
the opinion, that the price of beef Is
due to natural conditions, and the
fact that the price has gone so high
as to reduce consumption and there
by really cause the profits of the
to decrease, corroborates
his view. Mr.. Wilson says our cities
are growing, and our population Is
annually by a non-pro-
ducing immigrant class. Meanwhile
the value of farm land increases to
such an extent as to make the BUSH
ness less profitable, and the area OF
the cattle ranges in the west dimin-
ishes. In other words, our meat
eating population is increasing at a
rapid rate, while our meat produc-
ton is actually decreasing. The re-
suit can only be higher prices.
Neither government nor trusts can
alter permanently the balance be-
tween supply and demand. We may
find that changing economic condi-
lions are to blame for many of the
discomforts of which we complain.
