EyERYDODrS FRIEND

The old family doctor OF whom so
few are now seen in this age Of "spe

preventing illness by watching close

Mrs. S. H. Dubois writes from her
home at Hampstead. l.. l.: "Vinol is
an old friend of our family. We have

In 81 Marriages.
Boston, Mass, Oct. 8.-The alum
nae of Smith college have discovered
that out of fifty.seven marriages OF
college girl graduates there is only
one divorce.
In striking contrast to this percent
age is that disclosed by the lnvesti-
gators who have found that there
was one divorce out OF every ten or
twelve marriages OF non-college wo-
men
Not the least impressed with the
results of the investigation Is Miss
Angie C. Chaplin, who Is now acting

College women usually marry late
in life," says Dean Chaplin. They
know their own minds. and they find
happiness"
The Smith College investigators
declare that out of eighty-hve mar
riages In which graduates OF Smith
are the participants there Is recorded
but single divorce. making the
average extremely low. The average
as shown by the figures among wo-
men OF other colleges. IL not quite so
encouraging.
Miss Chaplin says:
Il believe that most college women
marry somewhere about the age of 20
or perhaps somewhat later than that.

girl gains poise and sense; she be-
comes more serious; she loses the
frivolity that many young girls
posses. and she feels more acutely
the sense OF responsibility that every
prospective wife and mother should

in the light OF the figures that the
Smith alumnae have brought forth II
seems plainly evident that college

A POOR REASON FOR A VETO.
Chicago Record Herald.

Chicago Record Herald.
The governor of Iowa gave a very
flimsy and far-fetched reason for
his action in vetoing the so-called
Oregon senatorial plan bill. He says
that it is plain violation OF the fed
eral constitution to ask candidates
FOR state legislature to make any
declaration or take any pledge with
regard to United States senatorships.
How state statute which provides
for action that is only morally bind
ing on the part of those who take
IT. and which requires no one to do
tnything beyond stating his purpose
with reference to something done by
the voters themselves, can violate
a federal provision relating to legis-
'atiye functions, it is rather hard to
make out. Besides, the Oregon plan
Is in force in that state, and while it
had many opponents no one challeng.
ed 1t in the courts. There is no way
in which it can be challenged-a suf-
icient refutation of the assertion as
o it's fragrant mconstitutionality.
Furthermore, what of the "uncon-
'titutionaP nomination of presidents
~ conventions and parties, and the
placing of presidential names on ball
,ts? The constitution established
electoral colleges, and knows nothing
about conventions Of popular nom.
nations. Would Governor Carroll
revert to the electoral college as orig
inally conceived?

TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

The proposition OF providing just

THE INTERESTS ALL ON LORI

In the llpheaval last November,

upper House Of Congress. They lost
Buckley of Connecticut. Hale of
Maine, Depew of New York, Dick of
Ohio, Keane of New Jersey, Scott of
West Virginia, and Elkins of the
same state, by death. To offset
some of these losses, q greet effort
was made to induce the democrats OF
Ohio to elect Mclean to succeed
Dick, and the democrats of New Jer-
sey to elect Smith to succeed Keane.
In both of these attempts "the In
terests' signally failed, but they
still hope to elect an interest serv'
ing democrat ITO succeed Depew in
New York and a republican of that
stripe to succeed Dolliver i'm Iowa
They have also informed their agents
in the senate THAT Lorimer must re
tain his seat. The forces of greed
and graft are fighting a losing
battle, but they vigorously contest for
every advantageous position. The.
Z fear more than all else the election
Of senators by a direct vote of thu
people, or q primary law which give

The agents OF the steel trust, ans
the lumber trust, and the cope

little trusts, are jumping into thei
collars and pulling like draft horses
to hold Lorimer in his purchased ser
atorial seat. And a few democrat

Governor Carroll says the Oregon
plan is unconstitutional. Is it amy
more unconstitutional than the plan
of electtng senators, not by the

party caucuses? More men have

between him and Secretary Dicken-
sons coachman.
Several days ago the coachman, Ed
ward McQuade, was killed. He drove
his runaway team into a steep bank,
thereby saving the life Of Secretary
Dickenson's three-year old daughter.
The President and Mrs. Taft at.
tended the funeral of the man, who
gave up his life to save the life Of a
child entrusted to his care They
occupied an ordinary pew and came
and went unattended the same as
the members of the coachman's fam
lily.
.
The stations in Life of these two
men could not be further apart, but
they had exchanged kindly greetings
until their feelings had become akin
to the feelings CT brotherhood. Kind
! ness toward fellow mortal produces
in the heart Of president the
same emotions as in the heart OF
the humblest citizen.

retain ITS ascendant place while men
