DON'T BE AFRAID OF SENTIMENT.
By President Wilson of Princeton

great many men are ashamed in this some
what artificial age to exhibit sentiment They
boast themselves practical, hard-headed men,
who face the stern facts Of life, and do not
deceive themselves regarding their character
I know of men, for example, who attend
church services with sort of excuse to their
friends for the habit, saying that they go be-
cause their fathers pew is there; they are ex-

springs of sentiment bubble in the life of that man.
And it from these springs that they draw their re-

upon the field of affairs. When the springs of sentiment

CAN THE PEOPLE BE TRUSTED?

The question as to whether intox-
icatng liquors should be sold in
West Virginia or not was not before
the Legislature at Charleston yester-
day in considering the joint resolu-
tion or amendments thereto
The sole question IN our judg-
ment was, can the people be trust
ed TO act on that matter?"
The legislature was simply asked
to refer the matter to the electorate
OF the commonwealth of the state.
We believe in a government for
the people and by the people. IL
seems by the defeat of the proposed
amendment that the dominant party
in the legislature was unwilling to
trust the people.
Ii was an axiom of Thomas JEFF
ferson that ne was always willing to
trust the people. They have the
right to make the laws under which
they are governed.
Let the people rule. Anything less
IS automatic We are for free gov
eminent. Free governm mt pre-
supposes will OF the majority.
Nothing less is Democratic.

EATING CROW.
Says the Daily Telegraph :

Says the Daily Telegraph:
Whether the Aldrich bin in some
shape or other passes or not, more
and more intelligent people are
reaching the conclusion that we
have come to the parting of the
ways with orr currency system. We
must have a better system than the
infexible, unscientifc system of is
suing currency on bonds. TO which
We have been tied since the great
war. There never was a better tim,
to get reform than now. With the
slack business and the interruption
that a presidential year always gives.
a proper currency system could b.
iuaugurated without a jar"
We had thought that the Tele-
graph had harped upon the sound
ness of our currency system until
they would be loathe to admit any
deficiency
The Telegraph has also contended
times without number that a Repub-
lican administration coupled with e
high tariff was an all sufficient pan
acea for all national ills.
But with reference to the AIdrich
bill our morning cohtemporry now
says I'VE mast have a better system
than the inhexible unscientihc sys-
tenn of issuing currency on bonds.

thief had been there in the night
and taken a box or two OF cigars.
The theft was always on Saturday

boxes of cigars were taken.
Last Saturday night he stayed IN

s'Divorcons, Victorien Sardou's fam
GUS satirical comedy on divorce. recently
presented in Philadelphia with much sue
cess by Grace George and specially
featured by Mrs Fiske will be the offer
ing of the Orpheum Company at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia
this week Though more than score Of
years have passed since Sardou contributed
this clever comedy to the French stage, il
has lost none of its charm and brilliancY
and is as entertaining and effective in its
purpose to-day as it was then. Divorce
Is universal topic and discussion Of
the question is always interesting, parti-
cularly In this country where the evil OF
divorce is said to be felt more seriously
than anywhere else. Only year ago q
congress of representatives OF all the
States in the Union met in Washington
for the purpose of agreeing upon uni
form divorce law which would remedy
the evil Therefore bright and cleverly
constructed play, which has for its chief
aim the presentation of the divorce ques.
ton in its silly and ridiculous light, ought
to prove interesting to all men and women
who are interested in matters of public
warfare-such a play is ''Divorcons.
There is a splendid opportunity fol-
picturesque scenes, handsome gowns and
beautiful women in "Divorcons" and
these opportunities will not be over looked
by the Orpheum Players A sumptuoui
production is assured by Stage Director
Harry McRae Webster.
