political purposes is not proof. 1t is
The duty of every citizen having
knowledge of such corruption to do
what he can to disclose it, and have
the parties thereto punished, and it is
certainly up to the opposition to col
lect the evidence and invoke the law
against every case of which they
claim to have absolute knowledge,
and they are recreant to the duties OF
citizenship if they do not bring such
cuprits to Justice. Who is more IA
fniliar with the methods of dong this
than Judge Baldwin? WS<at citizen
should be held to stricter accountable
ity for such charges?
The honorable Course for Judge
Baldwin is to USE the evidence for the
publication Of politics rather than for
the promotion of a personal political
ambition. 1t is UP to him to prove
what he says before any republican
should take stock in it.

NVtiAbtCl lo1 A0 Lo1hCAAh.I
I have recently been placed where
/ have seen the dismantling and de-
struction of a residence to make room
for a more modern structure A feel
ing of diSmay and sadness came with
the first blows aimed at the old home.
There the house Stood a substantial
building in good condition, capable of
furnishing a comfortable home to
some one for many years to come as
it had done for two generations at
least in the past Had it been out of
repair, the sacrilege would have ap-
peared less, but it was not, and to me
a shrek of despair seemed to come
with each timber or section torn from
its framework.
AS the dismantled interior was laid
bare to the curious gaze of the passer-
by, one felt that the privacy of the
home was invaded, and old associa-
lions and memories roughly disturb
ed. From girlhood | had known the
house and it's inmates. There had
lived and died a father and mother
and children. There had mingled the
lives of large household, now scat
tered, if living.
A scho I'm ate of mine was a daugh-
ter in the household, and the memory
of her is still a pleasure to me; her
ready sympathy and kindly word
were always extended when occasion
demanded.
Included in the family were others,
not of the family name, for a wife's
devotion filed the house with occu-
pants when the husbands health fail
ed so that he could no longer DE the
bread winner for his loved ones. How
much that unselfish devotion accom-
pIished outsiders can never measure,
but that mothers children had reason
''to rise up and call her blessed How
little we realize the uncomplaining
self sacrifice of many such women in
our midst. Not till they lay their
burden down do we rightly estimate
their value, but the lives most closely
connected with them cannot fail to be
broadened and sweetened by their in
fiuence.
Could the old house speak, how
much it might tell of the helpless
ness of infancy, the innocence of
childhood, and the frolic of youth.
How much more might it relate of
the loves and marriages which its
walls have sheltered. All the varied
experiences of joy and sorrow, pros
perity and adversely, life and death
are interviewer in the existence of it's
walls. What wonder that a cry of
dismay come from them as the blows
of destruction smote them on all
sidesI
During one period of many years
the pastor of one of our churches was
located there. Think of the words of
instruction, advice and sympathy that
have gone forth from that abode Many
an one has gone there with weakness
and sorrow to come away strengthen
ed and comforted, more ready to bat
tie with the problem Of life and bet
ter fitted to bear it's burdens.
Much of the house was carried
away entire to be used elsewhere. /

that those windows would reflect in

beIittle him in our estimation. One of
the first evidences of broadness is to
be able to tolerate the other mans
opinions Some weak mortals respect
the other fellows opinions If he has
money; but if he is not well financed
he doesn't consider them worth a
sou marquee. 1t does not appear to
be natural to measure things accord
ing to merit, for there is no merit to
anything heterodox, or that eonfronts
our prejudices. There can only be
merit where there is agreement I'M

mind is supposed to be able to rec

FOR SENATOR JOHN 4. DAVIS.

In the selection of John H. Davis

quite unusual for a candidate to hold

endorsement could any man have than
that given Mr.. Davis by the conven-

that the rights of the whole people
viii be safegdarded by him, and that
the confidence reposed in him viii be

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Water or Observation-Disclosures

Mr.. Editor: was much Interested
in the plan of watersheds given in your
paper Friday morning, Oct. 21st, and
would like to ask if it is watersheds
or water that the city is looking for?
II it is watersheds, they can be found
at Fairview and Meadow brook-tlen
why spend 100000 to build one at
Pease brook, when the watershed at
FAirview, if kept full Of water would

had always supposed the base
ment walls to be stone. They proved
to be brick, faced with plaster. The
only sham, L am sure, in the substan-
tial old building, and this thought
came to me in connection with it:
How much like life this is. How
many a reputation, seemingly sound
has at last revealed itself under force
of adversely to be something of less
value carefully concealed from pub
lie knowledge, Yet we do not lo.se
our belief in the integrity of the old
manse. One defect cannot overbal-
ance so many virtues, and credit is
always due to one who conceals his
weakness and shows only his best to
the world.
On this old site is to be placed a
church, they tell us, which will be an
ornament to the street and means
of usefulness to many The spirit Of
the old associations will lnger about
the place and the influence for good
will continue in much increased force
Could those whose lives have min
sled in the history of the dwelling
have their choice in selecting their
successors, nothing could possibly be
more pleasing to them than to feel
that their home was to be replaced
by a church. whose Office it will be to
extend to SO many the ministrations
of all these years. From the pulpit

the gospel of peace and good will

each other and those coming after
them There will be conseerated to
Gods service the child, brought by de-
voted parents to be trained in wis
dom's ways. Loving hands will place
there the cherished dead for d last
greeting from mourning friends.
The services of church are for all
occasions, times of sorrow, times of
mirth, and the social life of the com
munity centers more and more now
a-days around the activities of church
work From the various organizations
of the church aid comes to SO many
who need it. instruction for the
young is given in the Sunday school,
mission studies compel the interest TO
extend to far-off regions still outside
the reach of Christianity. Clothing
and the necessities of life to those in
poverty and dainties for the suffering
are all SO freely supplied by the eff
forts of willing church. workers. So
the world becomes more closely drawn
to q common center as the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man is more broadly understood and
preached. May the new structure
more than fulfil the experiences of
the old, even if we feel that "Old
things have passed away, and all
things are become new"

Ii is true success usually manages

ing little more than his share 1t

employer cannot realize a surplus if
he does not have the earnest, honest
cooperation of his help. The man
who is cautious about exerting him

is the man who is always dropped

Many a mother has spoiled a daugh-

proper development into womanhood.
The daughter must live her own life
or she viii be misfit i'll this world of

herited from unwise mothers is de-
pendence upon others and q lot of
cherished whims. AS Colonel Roose-
welt would say, self reliance is a bully
good thing for a girl. Girls as well
as boys should be taught to meet life
with a great spirit instead of being
inspired to do great things of which
they have no true conception. The
self-reliant. dignifed, purposeful wo-
man is mother of greatness-is the
force which aids in perfecting future
generations The woman who decides
to devote her life to the perfection of
her daughter usually spoils' two lives

Here is sermon in a sentence:
IT'S finer being a small hunk Of sun
shine than a big bank of fog" Sun
shine promotes every activity of life
and iIlumines and touches with beauty
a million things in nature, while big
bank of fog hangs a veil over every
thing, increasing peril and gloom. "A
small hunk of sunshine" can make the
root in dark place sprout; it can
make an opal show its fire; it can de-
velop a daisy bud to the beauty of
perfection; it can cause a bird to
sing; or a human heart to leap with
joN: it can reveal Almighty love and
Almighty power. to the human mind
A big bank of fog may interfere with
commerce, promote the development
of miIdeW, confuse traffic; cause coll
1isions and prove destructive of human
life-it is a synonym of hazard and
depression. But the fog is necessary
as an aid to nature i'll its methods of
conserving moisture and distributing
it on the earth. 1t is a buffer against
q scorching sun-a wise provision, If
secondary TO the desirable sunshine
which is constantly commended.

Do not get frightened if that kid
of yours takes to collecting fads or to
natural science. You cannot tell what
an inquiring mind will take to, but
you should realize that it is not wise
to suppress it. There are devious ways
to the search of knowledge and they
lead into other ways of more import
ance. What the parents desire that
the kid should be he is very likely not
to become, for his mind is the devel-
oper of his manhood, not the mind
of his parents. Many a farmer has
desired to make a farmer of his boy,
but he became a merchant; many a
laborer has desired to have his son
learn a trade, but he learned to pull
wires instead. The very bad boy
''predestined' for jail-has turned out
to be first class governor, and kids
branded by their parents, as being lazy
have become great in art and music.
Parents waste too much time trying

The young woman who dresses her
feet in high heeled kids is ignorant
of the low-heeled misery they will
cause her later on in life The high
heel-the French HEELS a symbol of
ignorance and of self-abuse. They
bring disorder to the body as we'll as
distort the feet and give rise to corns
and bdnions. There was never a wear
er of the stylish French heel who did
not struggle with the results of style
and folly for many year after 1T
was abandoned. Sore feet, irritability
and extreme nervousness are the re-
suits of wearing high heels. 1t is very
profitable for the doctors so many
people sacrifice comfort for style and
continue to do it age after age. How
we mortals do abuse the body God
has given us and then pray to Him to
remove the Affections we have put up
on ourselves and insist upon perpetual
ting. This is the kind of consistency
we practicei
