euneo Reapportionment.
New York Tribune. I

The idea seems still to obtain in som e
iesisia lures that the main purpose of an
apportionment OF representation in con-
gress is not to create districts compact,
contiguous and as nearly equal in pop
ulation as practicable, thus obeying the
federal law, but to juggle boundary
lines SO as to give one party or the
other q Fictitious advantage. Gerry
Wandering Is tolerated when partisan
feeling runs high enough to benumb
the sense OF fair play. But the old in
tensity of partlsanship is pretty we'll
spent nowadays, and no progressive
state ought to look with leniency on an
effort to stack the cards In a congress
apportionment and to nullify the plain
instructions OF a federal reapportion-
ment law.
North Carolina has a crazy-quilt ap-
portionment now, made for other pur-
poses than that of dividing the state
into constituencies fairly equal in size.
The Fourth district contains six coun-
ties and had population in 1900 OF
17S,2S4, while the adjoining Fifth dis
trict contains eleven counties and had a
population in 1900 OF 274.443. The Third
districts popula ton in 1900 was only
7,704. In state like North Caro-
lima. with many small counties. such a
distribution is on its face artificial and
The legislature should
try to amend the present apportion-
ment plan, not to exaggerate It's defects
in order to assemble democratic plur-
ality in each district. The time for
such chicanery is past.

WANTING AND HAVING.
TSioux City Journal.

A human instinct seems to run to de-
sire to get something for nothing, but
there is very little In the way Of estab-
l!shed law to supply justification for
such desire: for what is available with
out cost Is usually found not to be
worth carrying away. Men should know
out OF experience that II they would
win a race they must run it: that II
they would be conquerers they must
overcome. BLESSED Is the man that
endureth temptation; for when he IL

help themselves.
The sweetest, most nourishing fruits
Of life are the products of the earnings
Of men; and the fruits that poison the
life. that clog and tester the currents
Of It, are likewise the products Of the
earnings Of men.
Men do well to look for the compen-
sations OF life az they go along; they
do well to maintain an unconquerable
spirit, and to be content with its bene-
factions. Neither all Of gladness nor
all Of affliction comes together, but the
badness and the sorrow alternate a.
day and night. Because the flowers be
few shall none be gathered? Because
the clouds be many shall there be no
soaros for riffs and the light OF stars /?
Because the temptations are many
shall there be no holding fast to the 10Y
Of overcoming?
It IL not easy to discern the way,
right and left. al men pass along, but
their safety always is In the leadership
OF the spirit. Under that leadership
they have right to hope for the best,
and under that leadership they are
sure to meet the least Of evil and the

WIFE DEsrRT1oS.

one OF the most frequent charges

Tor the crime of desertion It is
gratifying TO see even this small num-
Der brought to the bar of justice, but
less satisfying to reflect that greater
numbers are going unpunished per-
haps because Of the too great pride
of the wife to register complaint.
Wherever we turn we find women
working themselves TO distraction TO
support themselves and children
whom the shiftless. irresponsible
male in the case has left. The author
tiles of the law should not wait for
the complaint of the Inundated and
outraged wives. They should hunt

him to work either in jail or out Of 1t

IT AL HAPPENED IN PonsylLLE.

Pottsville got UP one morning turned
completely around. The sexes had
changed places. Pa got up and got
breakfast, the boys washed the dishes

IN the morning.
The stores were conducted by the
women, women draymen tugged at
as they collected fares on the stree,
cars. Seven women, most OF them fat.
patroiled the streets and guarded the
depot. When Pa and the boys got down
town In the afternoon after the work
was done up, the stores were full Of
men pricing things.
The saloons were lively Women bar
keepers stood behind the mahogany in
shirt waists. white aprons and near
diam onds. A mob OF women crowded
the bar, hats awry, clothing disar-
ranged. thick of tongue, profane of
speech, loud voiced and blatant Their
money and change lay on the sticky
beer soaked bar before them. They

Outside Point of Views

When one looks over the world. es
pecially in the value Of nature, where
man has advanced but little over the
other animals. IN that part Of 1t, the
first thing that strikes him Is the ever
existent warfare that IL going on. De-
stroy. kill. and devour. is the hourly oc-
cupation OF all animals. In the sea,
lakes and rivers the some condition ex-
lists. There can be no doubt but what
this continued destruction Of life IL a
part OF the order of creation, is the pro-
gram designed and carried out by the
Author Of all life. Then when we be-
gin TO read the history OF the world as
far back as any reliable account can
be had. we find that nature carries out
the same deadly purpose OF destruc-
ton. Earthquakes have many times
changed the face of nature. continents
wide. Fire from the thunderbolt de-
strops the forests that represented
hundreds Of years of growth. all wiped
out in an hour. Volcanoes change a
fertile valley into plain OF ashes
Floods suhmerge square miles OF land
where half starved natives have bare
~ made living. Not only does these
terrible and powerful agencies change
the landscape but the dwellers thereon
by the thousands. yes millions. II the
years are counted. are destroyed, burn
ed, drawned. suHocated and starved
SO to speak, nature not only delights in
the destruction OF its own previous
work. put at the same time bv the
same act destroys man In innumerable
numbers.
It's q self-evident proposition that
this plan Of destruction was fore or
dained." by the very prodigalty of na>
lures work IN creation. The millions OF
eggs OF a single Goldfish are not a mis-
take or an error In calculation of the
creator. They were 20 ordered for the
very purpose of destruction. From
man down to the very lowest order Of
life under the soil or in the depths Of
the ocean, each and every form Of life
depends on its continual life by the de-
struction Of lower and weaker form.
Man himself is not only attacked and
destroyed by disease and old age, but il
decimated In numbers and prevented
from correcting the surface Of the earth
by wars. famine. pestilence, plagues,
| and the fighting ana killing part OF his
| intersent condition. In all this there's
nothing new. its only q rehearsal Of
facts.
| All this and more comes to one when
we notice the puny efforts of man to
change the order OF things. Our civi-
iisation boasts Of the Hague peace con.
