Hawaii business, had found means to
quash the Prince Rupert enterprise.
The promoters could easily have been
induced to withdraw if reimbursed for
their time and expense"
The theory didn't meet with any
support at the Promotion headquart-
ers here. The explanation most be-
lieved in there is that the failure of
the excursions was due to the at
tempt to have two excursions from
the Northwest. If Portland and Seattle
had combined on one, it is thought,
success would surely have resulted.
One proposition that lends color to
the idea that the excursion was in
some way knocked on the head, is the
early date at which It was abandoned.
Nearly month before the sailing
time the enterprise was declared off,
and it is pointed out here that, in
view of the liberal bookings, it must
have been impossible at that time to
foresee failure.

EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT.

Men who throw bombs, men who
send Black Hand letters and dynamite
buildings are encouraged in their law
lessness by the failure of reputable
citizens to insist upon strict enforce
ment of the law.
Criminals are not born. They are
created by their environment. Where
community disregards law, children
grow up with a contempt for law and
order.
This fact was brought out very
forcefully by the Rev. George R.
Stuart of Cleveland, Tenn, in a re-
cent sermon at Lake Winona, Ind,
where he emphasized the need for
more good, old-fashioned mothers.
Here are some extracts from Mr..
iStuarts sermon:
This country needs obedience to
authority. Anarchy is not born in
Chicago's Haymarket Square, but in
the slums. If a boy does not obey
his father or mother, it is incipient
anarchy. l do not blame the sixteen
year-old girls for the way they dress
There is not girl of that age who
knows enough to dress as she ought
That is the reason she needs mother

and shippers, the railroad men decid-
ed to further postpone until July l.,
1914, the time limit relative to excess
charges on trunks, but the rule linn
is then to become effective and As
inches July of next year. The rail-
roads declare that they have made a
decided concession to the commercial
interests, which opposed the proposed
new regulations, and they do not ex

A Girl Who Counted.

A Girl Who Counted.
Who are the people who really exert
the strongest influence in the world?
Are not the people who win, simply
the people who know how to be pleas
ant and unselfish, even in the trying
moments when hard work has to be
done?
In st. Louis the other day a girl
who worked in big shoe factory had
to give up her work on account of
sickness, and within short time she
died.
We hear a good deal about the
tread-mill, and about listless burden
bearers who have lost their interest
in life. But over in the Peters Shoe
factory such conditions do not pre-
yail-that is evident. For when this
working girl died whole army of
employees knew that the girl whom
they had regarded as 1.-THE sunshine of
the factory" had left them forever.
The foreman knew that the girl who
had exerted the greatest influence in
times of discontentment, and who had
Strengthened out many little tangle
by laughing or by pointing to brighter
aspects of the work, had left her place
for the last time.
And when the time came to bury
this working girl, every wheel in the
big factory was silenced, the doors
were closed, while the dust was re
! turned to the dust.
A faithful performance of the littl,
duties does count, after all-when tn,
faithful performance is accompanied
by that spirit of faith and Laughter
which should be the normal frame o
mind of all people, after all, and which
is generally obscured by nothing NOR,
considerable than selfish repining ant
narrow fears.-From the st. Loui

Invention Of the Clarinet.

The clarinet, or clarionet, is sup
posed to have been invented In 1890
by Joseph Christopher Denner, at
Nuremberg, though some authorities
trace its existence to medieval times.
Since it's invention it has undergone
many changes and improvements, and
the modern clarinet, from the extent,
quality and variety of its tone, is one
of the most perfect Of wind instru-
ments.

Possibly he is not everything that
the bishops would like to have him.
Some very useful citizens of America,
from George Washington down to
Grover Cleveland, have had specks on
their characters. That has never been
thought a reason for savage attack,
especially at moment when common
decency and consideration for a re-
suggested a kinder course.
Bishops and clergymen and jealous
old maids held up their hands in hor-
ror because Astor insisted on getting
married.
They say they protested "for the
sake of morality
We ask them if they think it would
have helped morality to prevent Astor
marrying? Would he and the world
at large be more moral If it were pos
sible to have prevented him from
marrying? Is not the contrary true?
And what about a mans right un
der the law?
II Astor had not a legal right tc
marry It would have been impossible
for him to get married, with or with
out the consent of old maids.
Isn't it desirable to recognize the
law of the land, even in matters of di
vorce and marriage? Is it we'll fol

Colonel Aston, His Troubles and
the ScrupLes of Some CLergymen

Colonel John Jacob Aston is mar
ried at last and free from woe for the
time being.
With unusual self-denial until this
time, we have permitted others to do
all the talking concerning this grand
incident in the life of the nation
/ There has been much fuss and feath-
ers about the marriage.
And certain gentlemen of the clergy
have shown a very violent interest in
tan interest which they do not al
ways show when no fortune of hun
dred millions figure.
One clergyman not only attacked
John Jacob Aston and the young wo-
man, but in his wild fervor thoroughly
attacked his own bishop, like some
faithful hound that bites his master
without knowing it.
Big bishops, as well as small clergy
men, have been interviewed. With one
accord they have held up their hands
in pious horror because John Jacob
Aston, who can well afford to keep a
wife, and who had found a woman
willing to marry him, actually, wanted
to get married. l-
Some of the clergymen and some
others have not hesitated to call Astor
a rake, a roue, a debauchee.
1t would be interesting to hear from
the clergymen, now that the dust has
settled upon what they base their
charges against Astor's moral char
acter
They cannot have spoken Of their
own knowledge, that is certain. For
they couldn't speak of their own
knowledge unless they had witnessed
the misconduct which they charge
, against Aston. And in order to wit
ness it they must have shared it.
Perish that thought, anyhow.
The clergymen attacking Aston in
chorus, with all the enthusiasm OF
stage bloodhounds chasing Eliza
across the papier-mache ice, SAID
things of Astor which they did moi
ACTUALLY KNOW.
At most they must have been re
peating hearsay. Hearsay evidence il
doubtful, and to base the most serious
charges upon 1t seems to us like bear
ing false witness against your neigh
Dor. And to do that is wrong no mat
ter how well you may advertise you
own superior morality by doing it.
We are bound to say that In thi
- grand hubbub our sympathies hav
been with Astor thoroughly.
He has kept his mouth shut, a
+ tending to his own business.
l. He has shown great patience. Fl
e would have shown better judgment
A. he had sued few of his reckless "a
y cusers, charging them with slande
