SERMONS BOILED DOWN.

Conscience can have no authority
beyond its possessor.
The worst conditions always call
for the best in character.
Taking a bypath to avoid duty we
are sure to meet our deserts.
The rights of the race depend on
recognizing the rights of the child.
Many men are a good deal more
sure of the devil than of any divinity.
Indifference to humanity tries to
balance itself by anxiety as to div!n-
ity.
Table talk has much more to do
with character-making than pulpit
talk.
Using God as a bogey to keep chill
dren straight is sure to drive them
crooked.
No religion can be healthy that
thinks only of its heart and never Of
its hands.
When parents complain of irreli-
gious children they need to look at
their own tracks.
You can as easily shut box Of
sunshine in as you can compass re-
ligion in creed.
A sincere man may get down on
the wrong side of the fence, but he
cannot straddle it.
Many people who take time to learn
to make doilies believe that character
comes by accident.
The way to meet some doubts is to
look them squarely in the face and
then blow them away.
It's a poor sort of man who
would do wrong if only he could be
sure Of cool spring down in hell.
That is socially a dangerous educa-
ton which gives financial proficiency

1t is said the judge listened to the
evidence with much patience and then
summoning the two parties before
him lectured them in this wise:
81 will give you just thirty days"
he said to the woman, ito learn to
make that pickle sandwich; and you"
turning to the husband, thirty days to
stop thinking it is so important wheth-
e. you have just exactly what you
want to eat or not. You will get no
divorce in this court, and If either of
you make any trouble at home I'll
have you arrested for disturbing the
peace"
This judge showed a trace of the
wisdom that made Solomon famous.
L is doubtful If he could have inn
proved his findings" unless he had
decreed that the man should make the
picked sandwiches and the woman eat
them. If divorces were less easily OBJ
tanned there would be fewer of them
and the world would be the better off.

his crude and undeveloped youth the
man picked out pretty, sweet, pink
checked girl who filled every require
ment of his taste az the time. AS he
grew older he developed, became more
intelligent more cultivated, got a
broader view of life, but the simple
little woman he had married stayed
just where she was, and she no more
represented the mature mans taste
than his youthful enthusiasm for kites
and marbles.
Unless a man is dead tired of run
ming with the boys. unless a little
home anda nice wife look better to
him than saloon and a poker game,
then the right time hasn't come for
him to marry, and she should pass up
the matrimonial proposition.
A man should marry, however, be-
fore he gets too old and set in his
bachelor habits. There are, in real
ity, no feminine angels, and the best
wife in the world has her little pecul-
iarities that a husband must humor
and handle with gloves, and If a man
is to do this as a pleasure and not a
penance he must begin while he is
still young enough to be adaptable.
a man who would find happiness in
marriage should marry while he is
st.ll young enough to be full of enthu-
siasm and ideals. Having come to
full mans estate, his tastes formed,
his temper tried, his mettle proved
in the full strength of his glory, of
his manhoodLa man should look
about and find the one woman in the
world that nature designed to be his
mate.
In a word, ne is neither a boy nor
dotard, and at his age-anywhere be-
tween twenty-five and forty-five-a
man brings heart and intelligence
both to bear upon the matrimonial sit
uation and is most likely to make a
wise choice of wife and to find hap
nipess in domestic life.
After 40 matrimony is a risky
thing for a man and riskier for the
woman he marries ny that time
man is confirmed in the habit of ce-
libacy. He is a case hardened bach
elor, with more stomach than heart
and little fussy ways that are enough
to drive any woman crazy Such a
man generally marries only to get a
nurse for his rheumatism or a house
keeper who can't give him notice and
quit, and he spends his days making
invidious comparisons between the
way his club was run and the way
his own house Is.
We see boys in their teens marry
ing women old enough to be their
grandmothers and men of eighty mar
rying eighteen-year-old chorus girls
and in between these ages all sorts
of marriages, good and bad. And so
the upshot of the whole argument is
that it depends upon the man himself
and not his time of life.-Dorothy Dix
in The Examiner.

THE MAJORS BLUNDER.

Major Lee Moorhouse has added to
his already long list of laurels by win
ming the prize for making the best
biscuits at the district fair. Congratu-
lations to the major.
But an, what dire evils may follow
as a result of the majors ill advised
zeal He has established a precedent
one that may work badly for the race
OF man. He has proved that man can
cook and sometimes cook well. Others
of the benedict class may be urged by
their wives to follow his example and
in consequence the rights of man al
ready in jeopardy, may be still more
heavily assailed. Willingly or unwit-
tingly Major Moorhouse has forged
another link in the chain that threat
ems to make mere man little more than
a bonded slave. It is time for the
husbands union to look to its rights
and to pass some drastic resolutions of
censure for someone.

MARRYING AGE FOR MAN.

At what age should man marry?
Never when he is just boy. That
goes without saying. The poor boy
who marries ties milestone around
his neck that will effectually keep
him from rising. Many a young fell
low who had the making in him Of
a successful man has had MS ambi-
tion thwarted, his talent stifled, by
the folly Of a boyhood marriage.
We hear Of boys who marry at 10
or 20, but not one time in a thousand
does such a match prove happy, be
cause not only is the boy who wants
to marry at that age a romantic idiot
but the girl who is willing to marry
him is a silly fool and has a silly
fool for a mother if she is permitted
to marry him. Or else the girl and
her mother are adventuresses, as is
generally the case If the boy belongs
to a rich family.
The same objection that applies to
girl marrying very young-that is,
that the very young nave not come
to themselves and do not know what
they want in a life partner-applies
with double force TO a man.
There is no Official statistics OBJ
tainable on this subject but II you
will notice you win see that among
your acquaintance most Of the men
who are unfaithful TO their wives or
openly Indifferent and plainly tired
Of them and bored by them are the
men who married when they were
very young.
The inference is inescapable. In

THE SUBSIDY NOsTRUM:

President Taft has gone on record as
favoring a ship subsidy bill. The
hackers of the ship subsidy movement
are persistent, but they will have diff
ficulty in palming off such a bill up
on the country.
The ship subsidy plan is a nostrum
which certain people propose as
remedy for the present depleted con-
dition of the American merchant ma
rine. But the proper way to right
the evil is to remove the causes.
Several things have led to, the down.
fall of our merchant marine. Chief
among these are our absurd navigation
laws, the terminal rate system and
the high protective tariff.
Under the present navigation laws
a foreign built ship is not eligible to
American registry. Now since 1t costs
from 80 to so per cent more to build
ships in America than abroad, largely
because of the tariff, few shippers
care to have vessels built at home.
They obtain their ships where they
may be had the cheapest regardless
Of what flag the ships must fly. If
Il is important to have the ships that
carry our commerce also fly the flag
or the United States then change the
navigation laws so as to admit for
eign built ships to American registry.
This is what Germany does and it is
what England does.
How the high protective tariff works
a hardship on American ship building
is easily seen. Because Of the tariff
the price of ship building material is
higher in America than abroad.
That the terminal rate system has
had much to do with the deterioration |
Of the merchant marine also seems |
plain. Under this unjust system ship |
companies are made to face unfair !
competition. The transcontinental |
roads can haul freight to seaports for |
nothing, If they wish to do so, and |
make their dividends off inland |
freight. As a result the ship lines are
at the mercy Of the roads. At this
time the coastwise lines are owned by
railroad people and are subsidiary to
the railroads.
DO away with the system Of termin-
al rates and force railroads to charge |
for freight hauling in proportion to the !
distance covered, then Snip lines win
have chance for life and we will have
a greater merchant marine.
Why resort to a temporary remedy
like a ship subsidy when the disease
may be cured by removing the causes?

STATE CONTROL.

Senator Jones of Washington has a
plan for the development of water
powers that will undoubtedly be very
acceptable, at least to the people of
the western states. The plan, if Sem
ator Jones has been correctly quoted,
is for the national government to re-
tain control of the public water powers
until the different states make provis-
ion for their development under con-
ditions that will give the people just
share of the benefits to be derived.
The chief argument in favor of this
plan is that the national government
did not collect anything from the COM
ponies that developed the eastern
power sites and so should not levy tri-
butte on western power streams. If
any charging is to be done it should
be done by the states.
But if this plan is to be carried out
i; will be necessary for the federal
government to hold on to the power
sits with a firm grip until the states
do enact the proper legislation. To
open up the power sites to entry be-
fore measures for their protection
have been passed by state legislatures
would only result in disaster. The
power trust would soon have every
thing in sight.
