FILTRATION WITH DEATH.

Several censurable incidents mark
ed the big aviation meet in Chicago,
the most deplorable Of which was
the starting of a race at dusk result
ing a fatal accident" due to dark
ness.
The big show closed Sunday with
daredevil stunt" by Lincoln
Beachy, who gave such a thrilling ex-
hibition in female attire as to deceive
the mammoth crowds into a heart
rending hysteria Of excitement When
she" made a perpendicular drop of
about 5000 feet the crowds thought
she was falling 10 death, and 100 900
people almost choked TO death with
fear. So reckless were the aviator's
freak stunts on the lake front, sew.
eral people fell into the lake, narrow.
ly escaping drowning.
AS such foolhardy. stunts as this
add nothing TO science, and merely in.
vite death, they should not be toler.
ated. II officials of these exhibitions
do not have sense enough TO prohibit
them, legal restrictions should be es.
tablished aad rigidly enforced.

ure, and life tenure leads gradually to
heredity succession"
Possibly Thomas Jefferson, poor in
thought and poor in words, knew no
such word as Consecutive. And pos
sibly he did. 1t is fair TO say that il
some Roosevelt had been so hypercrit-
ical as to suggest insertion of the
word CONSECUTIVE" Jefferson would
hae answered that an ambitious and
INSCRIPTIONS man would first attack
the two term principle and succeeding
in destroying It, proceed next to abol-
ish all limitations. This is precisely
what Rooseelt is doing. Should he
be elected to a third term we should
quickly find him declaring that a pres
ident should have the right to serve
without limitation and until he should
be recalled; until the influence of his
great federal machine which he should
have built up-aTmy, navy and all
could be overcome. What Theodore
Roosevelt would do if he had his way
would be to Mexicanize the United
States government. There is no doubt
about it.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON DIVORCE

Cardinal Gibbons delivered an ad-
dress in st. Louis at a luncheon given
by the City club recently, in which
he says that If the American republic
goes down it will not be due to an
invading army, but to the criminal
sloth and negligence and to the po-
litical apostacy of our own citizens.
Equal suffrage" says the cardinal,
''in my opinion would tend toward
increasing divorce, which is a social
block in the United States, and is
the greatest evil of the day. If
women had equal political rights with
men there is a probability that on
the slightest provocation she would
seek divorce Given such equality,
they might overstep the bounds.
Women, under present conditions, are
too prone to 2 OTTO the divorce courts,
and political equality might make
them more 30. 1t might have the

effect of turaing their heads. Divorce
is now too easy to get" the venerable
prelate continued 'If a husband
leaves home for a couple of weeks
and his wife wants freedom she is
too prone to go to the divorce courts,
pretext. Nowadays if woman cannot
get a divorce in her own state she
goes to Nevada, where it is made
easy. One of the worst features of
the divorce evil is it's bad effect upon
children. When parents separate it
means separation of children, of
brother, and sisters. Children thus
bereft of proper family influences are
liable TO go astrsy. Divorce is increas-
ing in the United States. The evil
prevails here more generally than in
any other country. We must get back
to the gospel. The laws should be
made more strict, so that it would not
be so easy to disrupt the marriage
ties on fimsy pretexts."

been solved by the men. The. practi-
cal solution must come through the
women. We are the home-makers,
and it is for US TO make the dollar
90 the weekly rounds, so We must
solve this problem.
1.-The time has come in this couhtry
when young people cannot afford TO
some employment outside the home.
We housewives have got to make it
possible for a young man to marry
and be able to support wife, other
wise our economic customs are not
American.
I'VE have not put housekeeping on
business basis where it properly
belongs. We get married when we
can only make fudge and chocolate
cake.
THE American woman always
makes good, but those who marry
without any further knowledge make
good at a fearful financial cost"
Mrs. Heath punctured the old
theory that goods done up in pack
SO far as sanitary conditions were
concerned, showing that many things
could be put into them that would
not be possible in the exposed article.
Conservation is the sign of the
age. The men now make fortunes
out Of the bi-products our grand
fathers threw away, but we women in
our profession throw away what we
should USE
"The women OF the country have
the power where prices are too high
to say so. A boycott is a severe
measure, but we are not faddists and
when we know the price is not fair
we can go without the article until
the market adjusts itself"
She proved this statement with the
story of the boycott on butter in New
York which forced the price down 10
point and caused thousands OF pounds
illegally kept in storage to be de-
stroyed.
