NOT PLEASED WITH THE LAW.
(Rrooklyn .Chronicle)


A primary law providing for conven-
ton nominations when the vote of the
leading candidate is not more than
thirty-fve per cent of the total vote
cast is neither fish nor fowl, 1t is
neither convention system nor primary
system. The exemption of judges
from the operation Of the primary is
utterly inconsistent. Why should the
fountains of justice" be corrupted by
the pernicious influence of the caucus
system, while safe guards of every
kind are thrown around the choice OF
an assessor or a constable? Upon a
basis of the visionary schemes of men
who fancy politics can be reformed
without reforming the men who take
part in politics there have been grated
a job lo: of the schemes of practical
politicians who have axes to grind,
and the result is called primary law.
God save the Commonwealth Of
Iowa."

The state of Pennsylvania is going
into the Improvement of the public
highways on a scale and in man
ner that is certainly broad gauge. The
legislature of 1908 appropriated $500
600 for road Improvement, of which
amount about $3,OoO.ooo still remains
unexpended. 1t is now proposed to APP
propriate $6,00O.0OO additional, to be
expended in the next two years, max
ing a total of SO, 00O. 900 available. With
this amount it is expected between 900
and 1000 miles of first class road can
be built.

There was once girl worn and thin,
Who the world condemned for sim
gle sin,
They cast her out on the great high
way
And passed her by from day to day.
And Stanford White, but more to
blame
His friends spared him a single
shame
Beneath his feet he saw her lie
But raised his head and passed her
by.
When some of his friends went to
pray
At the house of Cod on holy day
They scorned the girl, forgave the
1t was ever thus, since the world
began
Time passed on and the young girl
died
On the cross of shame she was cruel
fled,
But the world was stern and would
not yield,
So they buried her in the potters'
field.
Then Thaw with a bullet took her
Then Thaw with a bullet took Whites
life.
And maid the debt of his erring wife,
And Whites companions buried him.
In a casket of cloth with silver RIM
Whites wicked fame spread far and
wide,
A disgrace to the nation in which he
died.
Two mortals knocking at Heavens
Stood face to face to inquire their
fate.
He carried a passport with earthly
sign
But she pardon from love divine
oh, We who Judge between virtue and
vice,
Which think you entered to Para
disc?
Not he who the world had said would
win,
For the girl alone was ushered in.

FOLLOWING THE EGYPTIANS.
(Sio,lx City Journal)
"Thy will be done, in earth as 1t is
in heaven"
Temptation to follow after the
Egyptians is very great. 1t is easy TO
acquire covetousness of their horses
and of their chariots. The gayety of
their parade.s appeals to the passions,
and the imagination is prone to gather
up the reins and take the mad plunge,
counting on the applause of the null
titude. The heart is put out of coun-
sci; and when a man makes a. stranger
of his own heart, he is shut out of quiz
etness and out of confidence. He has
withdrawn his faith from God.
The Egyptians of life are breeders
of misery and of sin. They separate
themselves from the truth; they speak
la strang tongue; they caparisor
themselves in gay colors, and where
emulation is impossible they supplant
the goodness of men with the hatred
of devils Confidence in God for the
many is dependent for root upon con-
fidence in men.
Confidence is at the base of all
great achievement. Even the bust
ness of men, however they may
struggle with it, falls away as fab
ric of sand when confidence is lost.
We need more of the quiet life, the
trustful life, the life of simple conf
dence in enduring and prevailing right
eousness. With trust in God all will
be we'll; for then are we doors of good
works. abiding in his law, partakers OF
his strength.
TN quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength"

It PAYS to BE Cheerfnl.

The spirit of cheerfulness is some
times the result of a happy tempera-
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss. sickness or calamity.
Sometimes it is the abundance of youth
still finding surplus of vigor after the
tolls of the day. Sometimes >it is the
expression of character which from
the reserves of its own nature and ex-
perience is able to preserve a cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such a character is a strength and a
defense not only to him who has it,
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers of humanity. whose lights
shine through the dark night of human
struggle and whose word is an inspira-
tion of hope and encouragement.
