THE AMERICAN HUSBAND IS
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
His Wife is the Happiest Woman
On Earth.

The American husband is the best
in the world says the Rev. Charles
Affixed, d. D., in the November New
Idea Woman'S Magazine. He thinks
more Of his wife, makes more Of his
wife, gives more to his wife, than
any other husband the world has
ever known. Whether he has the
best wife in tho world-but that is
another story. Certainly The Amcri-
can woman has the most favored lot
which has yet fallen to human be-
ing. She has more to make her hap
pN;-ln her own phrase, to give her
ga good time, than any other crca-
turc ON the face Of the earth. She has
less drudgcry and more leisure than
any other woman. She has r?urc
money to spend and better things on
which to spend il. She has more free
dom, independence, more power Of
initiative and of sclf-drcction. She
is Il person Of mportancc-and she
knows it. The present writer is YET
seeking female person between the
ages Of seven and seventy upon this
continent who does not regard her.
self rs Of the greatest consequence
in the scheme of things. She quietly
assumes that she is somebody. The
assumption Is warranted in fact and
conceded in practice. The American
woman is. up to the present moment,

arc no visible indications Of outside
improvements upon the product.
The American Girl can protect her
SELF. She is not rs easily led nstray

She IS not rs innoccnt.' in the ab-
Slrh and conventional meaning Of
that mnrh-abuSrd word. She knows
more. She can run alone. She is more
"'fHT;,!rly mistress of herself. There
is higher standard OF sexual moral

lands. This may be safely affirmed
IN the face of ten Thousand divorce
scandals and all the headlines Of Il
sensation l"vln" press. For every un-
happy marriage of which the papers

which 1t says nothing.

KNOCKING THE EDITOR.

II you don t just like everything
You sec in your home paper, go
around tho streets and howl. The
editor IS never supposed to make Il
mistake, and Of course cannot do so.
Other people can, but the editor is
ubiquitous, omniscient, mipresent,
"omniverous. If you can't see a
good point, don't fail to see bad
one. If thousand pleasant things
arc said of people, hunt for some
thing unpleasant. IF you don't find
it howl some more; if You do, howl
anyway. Never mind >Hur own bust
ness; watch for something to find
fault with in some other man $
business. This will make YOU great
-t.lbcrton Star.
Under this standard there are very
few in this community who have at
tanned greatness. In this community
everybody attends to his own
business and never has time to
know what other people arc doing
We have no one who is idle, and
therefore there is no mischief made.
Everybody says pleasant things about
everybody else and no one ever finds
fault bnt we all have pleasant words
even for our enemies, that is if any
body had time to have an enemy.
Everybody likes everything he sees
IN the paper and if there should be
anything in the paper he docSn 7 like
he fails to see it. Nobody stands on
the street corner and therefore there
are no hnwlrrS. We are afraid that
we cannot claim any greatness if
we are to be measured by the STAN
dard Of the E,lbrrton Star Wonder
