THE RIGHT.


President Taft's Rochester speech is
the utterance, in success, of what
Henry Clay said il defeat, 81 would
rather be right than president and
Lincoln said the same in his declara-
ton ''to do the right as God gave it
him to see the right Only the right
ever really succeeds and in the end
nothing but the right is popular.
Unfortunately, government is not an
exact science, or some Euclid would
have fixed 1t for us, and we should
not be bothered with executives, Iegis-
1ators and judges. All those would be
out of Jobs, and there would be none
to seek political jobs. There would be
no armies, nor navies and no police
men.
Suppose Napoleon Bonaparte had
acted on the principle enunciated by
William Howard Taft. He would have
died master of continental Europe,
certainly-master of all ChriStendom,
possibly-with big slice of pagan
dom thrown in. But Napoleon had no
sense of justice. The greatest man,
as the world looks on greatness, since
Julius Caesar, Napoleon had no cor
rect idea of justice whatever. Even in
his own palace he would cheat at
cards. In his army he made favor
ties. Had he sent Saint-Cyr, instead
of Massena to command in Spain,
how different might have been the re-
sult!-Washing ton Post

A wARNING TO NAGGERs.

Let the wife who is continually COM
planning at her husband because he
isn't earning enough to make it pos
sible for her to dress as well as the
lady next door have a care. Let a
word Of advice be whispered to the
woman who is in the habit of finding
fault with her husband because he
says tthem kind or eats with his
knife
Also let a gentle hint be passed
along to the mn who has become
addicted to the habit of scolding every
time he is asked to hook his wife's
waist; and to the man who never
misses an opportunity to accuse his
wife of extravaganza merely because
she buys enough hair to qualify as a
waitress let solemn warning be
sounded.
Justice Mills of the Supreme court
of New York has ruled that nagging
constitutes good ground. for divorce,
and. accordingly, Mrs. Daisy Green of
Yonkers has secured an annulment of
the contract which bou2d her to AL
bert, who found fault with her man
ner of house keeping and her devo-
ton to her relatives.-Chicag Record

DISEASE OF. CoWARDICE.

If there is more pitiable object
than a man who is so cowardly that
he has to sleep with shotgun at his
bedside, it will require a posse of
bloodhounds to find it. The man in
Perth, Kan, who awoke at the sound
of his wife walking the floor with their
baby and Immediately shot her deserves
sympathy only as a. drug fend or "a
born criminal deserves sympathy.
The case is one of the most hor-
rible ones on record for a mark of
genuine cowardice and asininity. A
full grown man in the state of kan
sas who is so afraid of men or so de-
void of conscience as to require an
arsenal at his elbow, ought to be COM
PEELED to undergo a thorough examina-
ton for sanity before he is allowed to
possess a frearm. Cowardice of that
brand is a. disease, and the subject

the lecture On that important science

Palmer's art gallery. Inded, one might
say with considerable confidence that
amid such surroundings great many
society women would find a fascina-

quite, boiling an egg-which is the
proper way to prepare it for breakfast,

Even in these unhappy circumstances
there is no occasion for despair. Much
may be done in a rather ordinary
kitchen if the woman of the household
has good sense and a fondness for do
mesticity in proper. proportions. This
fact is known to many thousands of
women, by whom the art of making a

the pinch of high prices has been al
leviated with marvellous skill and all
but invincible courage. There are, how
ever, other households. In this day of
good living the increased cost of things
winch go TO make up a Satisfactory
state of domestic well being on the
material side best can be offset by ex-
pert management of the family cuisine.
The grandmothers Of the present gen
Grafton may have thought they were
happy, but most of them were griev-
ously overworked. The task of pro-
viding everything from the family
candles to the family stockings mainly
fell to those remarkable women. For
tunately, there has come emancipation
for the modern housewife, so far as
many of the former services are con-
cerned. What she now has to do she
can find time to do right. In large part
this result. comes from the better
methods of doing things and the bet
ter appliances which she has to assist
her in doing them.
If this time of high prices serves to
increase the tendency to bring scientific
housekeeping into the homes it will
prove, after all, a fortunate time to
many households. Therefore let the
fashion of giving lectures on cooking
be cultivated assiduously by society,
