Dark Stars.

Scattered through space are tnnu-
merable stars that give forth very lit
tie light or heat. Either they were
never at any period of their history
bright and glowing like the myriad
stars that make the midnight sky so
beautiful or in the course Of countless
ages the heat they once possessed has
rad1ated away from them into the
depth of space, and now they are, as
their name describes them, dark
stars"

as an employee, received the salary
which he had sworn he had paid himself
This additional affidavit cost him Is
cents, for which he had to put in a
voucher and make another affidavit that
he had paid himself that quarter and a
second affidavit that he had received it..
These afiidavits, in turn, involved other
quarters and the making of other aft
davits of payment and receipt, until, as
he plaintively says, he discovered, I'M
der the rules, he had started an endless
chain which threatened to land him in
an asylum.
Extravagant as is the maintenance
of customs collection offices at places
where there is no demand for them ex-
cept to provide a salary for political
workers, this example of rampant red
tapeism makes it appear almost bust
nesslike in comparison. If many other
governmental departments are similar
ly afflicted by routine, the saving of
Aldrich's $500, 600, 600 ought to be we'll
within the bounds of possibility. The
abolition of useless customs agencies,
like the abandonment Of superfiuous
navy yards, even if opposed by mis-
guided local sentiment and the greed of
ofliceseekers, ought to be forced on
congress by the power of popular opin-
ion. And with them should go the last
vestige Of bureaucratic red tape.

Women Fiji PuIpits in Boston.

The fact that thirty churches in
Greater Boston are without pastors;
that several have been turned into
moving picture theaters and that sew
eral consultations are now under con
sidcration, has stirred the local religious
world Boston pastors agree that in
dusrial conditions, if they are not re.
sponsible for the small congregations,
at least affect the supply Of the pulpits.
Young men coming into the ministry
cannot get salaries adequate to the
high cost of living
In several of the churches women
pastors are installed This influx of
women is attributed partly to the virtu-
al impossibiIity Of getting men to take
up the work left by discouraged or dis
ablcd pastors who have gone into other
fields.

WOMEN have been taking a great in
terest in the legislative proceedings and
hearings this year and have not only
been present when bills of especial in
terest to women were pending, but also
when measures Of general legislative
Importance have been discussed. IN
doubtejly the woman suffrage hearings
have tended TO bring women to the leg
islative halls, and having come to listen
on this question, they have become in
terested in other questions also and so
have spent more time here than in
former years. The presence Of women
at the legislative hearing is good
thing for the legislature as their views
on economic questions have proved we'll
worth hearing One of the questions
in which women have shown a great
deal Of interest is that Of a minimum
wage scale.

Notwithstanding the increase in the
use of electric street cars, automobiles,
motor trucks and q large number of
such machines, and the introduction of
gasolene run farm implements, mans
best friend, the horse, still lives and
thrives and grows in numbers and value.
This despite the predictions of the
prophets that long ere this year of grace
1911 was past, he would be curiosity,
forbidden the streets as cows and hogs
are forbidden.
A recent cens'ls of the horses in Wis
consin taken by the agricultural college
Of the university, shows that during
the last four years their number has
increased 70, 068. But what is more re-
markable, in spite of this increase and
of the increase in motor driven vehicles
during that time the value of the horses
in the state increased S26, 331, 1853, or
about $50 head
All of which suggests that the horse
still is in his day and that his sunset is
long way off.
Human history and the horse are sy-
nonymous. The horse was friend of
man when the COW was wild game He
mas figured in every ancient tale, and
every prehistoric tribe of Europe, Asia
and Africa have left relics of him in
their art or legend. Greek mythology
and legend is built around him and
everywhere he has been the cheerful
burden bearer, the faithful friend. The
I Greeks attributed his creation to Mars
and honored him as an engine of war,
but civilization has found him indis-
! pensable to peace.
And the affection of man has gone
out to him as it has to no other animals
save the dog.
In view Of all this it is pleasant to
see that although the electric and the
gasolene motor are taking so large a
place in the affairs of modern man, the
faithful, obedient, serviceable horse is
gaining in numbers and value, and, it
is easy to believe. in appreciation

Endless Red Tape.

A very pertinent Illustration Of the
