OLD Turkirn Customs.

AS long ago as 1913 Coryate visited
Constantinople and has left a minute
account of its manners and customs.
Among other matters he notes that 'it
is the custom that whatsoever any fire
ariseth in the city to hang up him in
whose house 1t beginneth, as now a
cook in whose house it begun was
hanged up presently after the fire ceas-
ed" The Turks themselves, it appears,
were models of good breeding. THE
Turk doth never at the saluting of his
friend at any time of the day or when
he drinketh to him at dinner or supper
put off his turban. as we Christians do
our hats one TO another, but boweth
his head and putteth his right hand
upon his breast, so that he utterly dis
liketh the fashion that Is used among
us of putting off our hats. Therefore
when he wisheth any i'll to his enemy
he prayeth God to send him no more
rest than a Christians hat"

Inquire of the postmaster of your

1t will be large amount

country to bring father or mother or
sister or brother to this country or to
pay doctor or burial bills or buy com

The girls save this money religiously
And they do not regard their en-
forced frugality as a sacrifice. 1t is
rated as joy.
Compare the fliai solicitude of these

grateful, even heartless, conduct Of
some native born girls.
Sometimes one almost IS tempted to
suspect there is something about dem

Certain 1t is that the tendency of the
times as to the family is changing
The old time discipline, the respect for
parental authority, the old time rever-

are giving way.
Possibly 1t is logical reaction.
Possibly the stern custom of q for

bly, Certainly there Is a deplorab BILE
loosening of discipline. disposition to
push the parents into a corner, to dis
regard authority-even to sneer at pa
rental advice and direction.
Is 1t not so?
Who that reads the newspapers Is
not often shocked at the recital OF
many cases of base ingratitude on the
part of children, and, worse-instances
Of abandonment and abuse of parents
In fact, the easy way in which fam.

is quite appalling.
This Is not vapid pessimism.
1t Is Gods truth.

A Land Whsrs Women Are Tyrants.
A missionary of long experience in
Basutoland has declared that the men
there are much more often ill used by
their heather wives than vice versa.
The fact is that these women, by their
labor in the fields and their domestic

the latter are dependent upon their

not make it any easier for woman to

THE SITUATION is CAREFULLY

Washington, Oct. THE political
situation at large, and particularly the
prospects for the state and national
tickets in New York, was carefully
gone over at conference at the
White House last night between the
President; William l.. Ward, New

Secretary Loeb states that Presi-

night, completing his tour of the
Northwest. Tacoma and Seattle also
were visited Tuesday.
Senator Beveridge's exposition of the
laws affecting union labor passed by

the strongest argument presented in
this campaign in this, strong union

Beverage urged greater navy, and
pointed out that four additional battle

LABOR AND TEMPERANCE.

81 wish to state most emphatically
that the railroad organizations, as or
CARNATIONS, do not approve Of any rad
ical resolutions whereby organized la
Dor enters partisan politics or con-
dennis the action of the lawmakers of
the state of Indiana. The railroad or
CARNATIONS, as far as I know, have
taken no part in condemning James e.
Watson, and positively they stand for
temperance, because the fundamental
principles of our organization are
founded on sobriety, and all possible
efforts are being made to impress upon
the minds of the public that we are
trying to live up to the principles advo-
Gated by u.s.
So spoke the vice president of the
legislative board of Railroad Trainmen
and a delegate to the recent Vincennes
meeting of the Federation of Labor,
! which passed resolutions against
County Local Option Watson and tied
up to the brewery interests.
He represents the men of the labor
unions who declare that they object to
being coerced into supporting the brew
cry trust by their Democratic leaders.
Union labor cannot be bound and de-
livered to some one else no matter who
passes resolutions.
When the organizations of labor

which should not be interfereG with it
is the right of the working man to vote

What good will it do organized labor
to tie up to the most deceitful and
treacherous force in Indiana politics
the brewery trust, whose very business
involves ruin to organized labor.
AS far back as 1912 the slogan of the
glass workers was educate and leave
drink alone. Education is more stimu-
lating and lasting than liquor, and ii
leaves the head clear.
The men of the unions have done
we'll to recognize this-the working
men as class are sober and indus
trious and law-abiding. They do no,
care especially to be tied p to Tom
Tagsart and his brewery trust, which
in its effect is the most lawless influ.
