 Possibly so from your standpoint.
 The preachers point of view was diff ferent He was not ordained to make or handle money, but to make converts and handle souls. He was dedicated to spiritual uses.
 This preacher said to himself: "I cannot stay in the pulpit and do my work If am incumbered with moiey. The love of money is the root of many kinds of evil I might grow to love money
 Was he right7
 From his angle of vision, yes. In time the care and the love and the lure of money would have lessened his energies, more or less deadened his sensibilities and finally put him out of sympathetic touch with his struggling partshioners.
 Therefore he lied tho temptation
 It was a big temptation. But he de- cided that to realize his ideals was worth more to him than $5,0o0.o00 of money. Did he choose the better partf Yes or nor

Drunken Women.

The other day In New York city a well dressed young woman was arraigned in a police court for being drunk.
 The policeman who arrested the girl testified that he found her alone in the streets the night before smiling foolishly and talking to herself.
 Friends who interfered in her behalf told the court that the young woman had attended dinner party, had drunk too much champagne and somehow had wan dered out into the streets.
 Nothing strange about that.
 In the large cities well dressed women regularly get drunk at dinner parties, only they seldom get into the streets alone. Usually they are piled into cabs or limousines by the coachmen.
 The disgrace of itl
 Surelyi Not mind you, the disgrace of getting intoxicated, for in certain circles that is more or less of a virtue, but the disgrace of getting found out! Discov- cry and publicity, not the lapse itself, constitute the shame.

 The drinking habit among the women of the wealthier classes as we'll as among the poorer classes Is alarmingly on the increase.
 Can any woman lose her head to tho very verge of idiocy without losing some thing of the finer flush of purity, some thing of the finer edge of womanliness? How can any man look with compla- cency on the intoxication of his sister or daughter or wife or mother?
 Poor New York girl! She will carry the memory of that day in police court to her grave. re

AUTOMOBILE ACT
TO BE ENFORCED

Columbus. o., May Secretar.
Of state Thompson proposes TO see
that the automobile act Is enforced
throughout the state. He has secured
an opinion from Attorney General
Denman that he has authority to en-
ploy persons to go over the state to
obtain information and evidence for
the enforcement of the act, and he
will resort to this course In cases
where the local municipal officials
either refuse or fail to enforce the
law. The large number of serious ac.
cidents which have been occurring
lately led the secretary to ask II he
had authority to send representatives
over the state looking to a rigid on
forcement of the law. The depart
ment has time and again called the
attention Of many local authorities to
the necessity for stopping reckless
motoring, but little heed has been
paid to what has been said.
