The Beautiful Relation of
Husband and Wife.

A noted physician has excited Eng
land by an elaborate argument to
show that nature intended every man
to have several wives. He points out
that numbers of the races of the world
have practiced polygamy in the past
! and that many do still, and in electri
I cal language he presents the conclu
sion that the condition must be a nat
ural one.
But he might have gone just one
step further and shown just as conclu-
have several husbands. Many nations
have lived under polyandry. meaning
one woman to many men. Some do
still, the Tibetans, for instance.
He might by the same process show
that nature intended men to eat one
another, to kill off their weakling chill
dren, to slaughter the aged as soon as
they are past work. to burn dead mems
wives, and to sacrifice human beings
TO religious superstition.
It is more than amazing that in an
enlightened land and in this en-
frightened age \ learned man, with no
leaner argument than this, should out
rage. sense and sentiment alike by ad-
ivocating a return to a marriage sys-
tenn which makes women mere slaves,
and deprives them Of their natural
faculty for refining the nature of man.
The people of this age are not seek
ing excuse for polygamous marriage.
It is almost universally recognized
that the highest, most beautiful rela
ton between the exes is that which
exists when a man and a woman joy
fully remain faithful to one another
all their lives. Such a bond makes
them lovers, helpmates, comrades. 1t
is the best possible destiny for both

an honored place in the community.

Her tenderness soothes him in weari-
ness and her devotion cheers in disap-

Boston. December 25.-That the de-
velopments of recent months have
made Impossible the denomination Of
President Taft and that the country is
turning rapidly to LaFollette as the
next republican presidential nominee,
were among the declarations made by
Clifford Pinchot. former chief of the
United States forest service, before a
gathering of progressive republicans
here recently.
Unless the republican party shall
meet the demand of the times by
throwing itself square into the pro-
gressive movement. its time of use

Modern conditions demand modern
treatment. The republican party needs
to be cleansed of its open sores. The
progressive movement. like every other
great movement, must have q leader.

last and always. This is a fight for
principles"
Governor Robert P. Bass of New
Hampshire said:
las I see It, the object Of the new
progressive movement in politics is
actually and wisely to put in force the
fundamental principles underlying our
form of government. to give each voter
an equal voice in the choice of cleo
tive officers, or conversely, to prevent
the small and influential group of men
from controlling the body politics for
their own selfish purposes, or, again,
to keep the splints and great corpora
tioas from naming and controlling men
in public offices. Or, on the other
hand, to prevent the demagogue from
exploiting the people and the govern
ment for the advancement of his own
personal ambitions.
"It is full of promise in that it
springs from the insistent demand of
the Iectorate at large, rather than
from the independent leadership of in
individual men. 1t is an international
movement ase vfdenced by recent
evenst all over the world.

The Dignity and Rights of
The Wife's Jokes.

The Iowa woman has secured a, d.
.vorce on the ground that her husband
refused to laugh at her jokes has es
tablished an important principle.
The right to joke is one of the in
herent and inalienable rights inferen-
tally embraced in the declaration of
independence, It is a right that can
not be denied, unfortunately, even to
the feeble-ninded.
And the sacred right to joke carries
with it the right to raise a laugh.
A joke that falls upon unappreciative
ears and cruelty rebounds from cold.
shards faces is the saddest, --LATEST fall
ure in all the world.
The Iowa woman was Of a mirthful
disposition and made jokes on all pos
sible occasions. But when she pro-
duced q neat conoudrum or cracked a
joke at the dinner table her husband
gave her a cold, unappreciative stare.
after submitting, to this mnniliating
treatment for years and seeing her
best jokes utterly sacrificed, she ap-
.pealed to the court for separation and
got it.
The incident holds out a lesson for
all husbands whose wives are of HUI
Tnorous disposition.
All philosophers teach the benefits
OF hu1nor in the home. All physicians
agree upon the value OF the laugh as
an aid to digestion. There can be no
question about the merits of genial
disposition at all times. The courts
can do no better service to humanity
than by conserving the dignity and
rights of the Joke.
