Runaway matches have been known
TO turn out ideally, but not often.
Their average course is toward wreck
age and wretchedness. The very need
of secrecy and flight is generally in
dicative of fault in the scheme
somewhere, and young girls who are
willing to defy parental love and care
and marry by stealth need feel no sur
prise when their idols feet turn out
to be clay, and a poor variety Of that.
Spite OF the jokesmiths. the cartoon

WORLD GROWING BETTER.

Every issue of newspaper which
tries to record the most important
svents of the day seems to be on its
tace an indictment of the human race
and modern civilization. Stories of
greed, oppression, wrongs and crime
Dften take up most of the rpace in its
columns. The effect upon the reader
Is sometimes to make him think. for
as growing more hard and cruel, and
shat society, as it is constituted, Is
failure. But such view is all wrong.
and the thoughtful reader soon real
dzes It. The world is growing better
MI the time. and humanity is steadily
advancing from one plane of life to
another. The reason there seems
more wickedness is that the people OF
Rho earth are in closer communication
with one another than they were only
n few years ago, says the Cleveland
Header. Crimes which once remained
unknown to all but a comparatively
Few are now revealed to the entire
rivilized world, that it may know the
sort of men it must suppress, the ex-
Rent of the harm they inflict and the
manner in which they are dealt with.
Wrongs which once flourished be-
cause they were hidden are now
dragged into the light of day and ex-
posed in all their meanness in the
pages OF the newspapers. Modern
civilization, through its most power
rul agency for progress, the public
press, lays bare the hitherto hidden
wounds inflicted upon society, that
they may be cured and their repeti-
hon prevented. No. the world is not
growing worse. There is less of pow
erty, crime and suffering than ex-
listed only a few years ago. Life is
easier, more profitable and more full

more out Of it than did the man with
the two-handed sword in his castle, a
