A Difference.

Quite a difference of opinion exists in the minds of the editors of Wine and Spirit Gazette"and the one from whom we quote. The former says; The preach. CTS are just as great a power for evil as they ever were when med ding with legislative action" !" The latter says unto the preach. CTS: No one doubts your com, mission. You represent the only profession in the world to which the world takes of it's hat. It does this less for what you are than what you represent. It does not lift it's hat to the legisla- tor who makes the law, to the lawyer who interprets the law, or the policeman who enforceS the law, but it stands uncovered be- cause he represents the Supreme Law The disapproval of the ministers has written "23" over the door of the nickel show busi- ness in this city by the confes- sion of the proprietors themsel- yes. And how much of battle did it require? Why, not even a skirmish.

WoMAN's PLACE IN COMMUNITY
Dr. Edward Everett Hale on Their
 Work and Influence.

In his Monthly Talk in the Woman's S Home Companion, Dr. Edward Ever cit Hale says:
 Will you please to remember that the bottom rock of American success Is the habit or determination that every place, village, town, neighborhood, or whatever you call it, shall have home rule. If l and MT. Goodchild want to have a road and bridge which shall go back to the rhododendron swamp, we build the road and we build the bridge with such help as he can get from Mrs. Tucker or from MT. Champlin, and we do not write to a sub-prefect, who writes to a prefect. who writes to an assistant con- mandant, who writes tc an intendent. who writes to the secretary of engi. neers, who sends word to us from the seat of government whether we may build it. Life where you stand ex. presses the foundation principle. the subsoil. the hard pan. the bed rock of American life.
 Now, a very queer thing has de- veloped in the evolution of this prin. ciple. It has proved that where the men of the country have been too busy, or have thought they were, to attend to their own affairs, the wom- en have been able to attend to them better than the men do.
 Take this business which have re. fsrred to. of a neighborhood library. feeding a region of not moro than four or Ave thousand people The affairs of that library. if they are well con. ducted. are conducted by the women of the neighborhood. They know what their children want; they know what their husbands need. And 1t is very fortunate for the neighborhood and the library that they can harness the horses and can drive themselves to the meetings of trustees and select the books and tell Miss Dorcas how many she may buy"

"Speedlnu Up,"


 It is Idle 10 crit1cise at large the American business mans habit of overwork. But single aspect of this ruinous habit merits comment. The American business man does not want money itself. He wants to get there. :" to get there" for his own. his wife's sake, his family's sake. The full price of getting there" he does not always calculate.
 The man who works fast. many hours day, six or seven days a week Is not merely paying in sheer energy to get there" He eats too much possibly drinks too much, does not take exercise, but he pays fin more than physical detriment He is doing more than ill-treating his body in such way as he would never dream of i'll. treating his automobile or his factory dynamo. Above everything else the American business man is getting there" at the expense of rounded de. Velopment, at the expense of life itself and of it's large and rich experiences
