Connubial Advice

When Mrs. John d. Rockefeller en-
.ered Johns home as his bride, so
years ago, she delivered this advice,
according TO very pretty story sent
us:
Don't talk too much"
John followed the advice and made
some money
Now this story is all right. The
advice was all right The bride who
had good advice was all right. But
human nature is human nature.
What would you thipk should your
blushing BRIDE nestle up 10 you In
The early glow OF the honeymoon and
say Don't talk too much" Why,
you would either think that the dear
one was in state of bliss too scared
20 be marred by speech or that she
intended to do the talking herself
But Mrs. Rockefeller meant neither
of these things. She meant simply
that business Is businr~s. her advice
being merely her commercial con-
tribution TO the newly formed martial
copartnership. John took the advice
and succeeded devilish we'll, IN a
business way.
But all the same, SO long as human
nature is human nature there Will be
mighty few bridegrooms who VIII
stand hitched when promptly told by
their consorts 10 keep their mouths
shut.

The Woman and the Serpent

The cause Of woman suffrage IN
Michigan has found. as might have
been expected, unanimous opposition
on the part OF all the liquor interests
in the state. Why should this be q
surprise to any one AS early as the
Garden OF Eden the lines were draEn
OF secret enmity between the woman
and the serpent. There is no more
typical representative OF the serpent
on the earth today than the saloon.
No matter how gilded OF disguised
the saloon is the sworn foe OF every.
thing that good woman values most,
or course, the saloon will resent the
placing OF the ballot In the hands OF
womanhood. II is true that not all
women are good, unfortunately. Some
of them are as bad as the worst men.
And II is true also that such women
are fully as likely to vote as a good
woman. But they are In a small
minority after all. Sooner or later,
when women have the power TO vote,
as morally they have always had the
right, they will vote for creAn men
and clean measures. This may take
time. We only do easily. as a rule
those things which have become
habitual Voting is so far new ex-
perlence for women; and they are
not quite ready 70 make the fullest
use of 1t. But II will come. When
Il does come. II will not be long be-
fore the saloon IL swept out OF exist
ence. May God hasten the day!-Rev.

Examiner.

If There We're No Death

There ought TO be some little conso-
lation in the reflection that II men
should solve the mystery of life and
death, eliminate physical pain, drive
the dread ogre Of disease into its cave
and plug up the hole. the tragical re-
suit would be such oyerpopulation
that within a little while men and
women holding perpetual leases OF
life, surrounded by children equally
unfortunate, would be looking with
streaming eyes toward the stars, pray
ing for elbow.room and asking that
the deeps of space be spanned with
bridges, that stifed billions might es-
cape.
Honor thy father and mother that
thy days may be long in the land
which the Lord, thy God. giveth thee.
Also get up, II you like, with the
mocking- bird, the squirrel. the lark
and the farm hands, and walk few

Eschew the cup that cheers and doth
inebriate, and, no doubt, dislntegrate
Follow the old physicians motto,

take seriously a Brown-Sequard or a
Metchnikoff you will provide an exam

LifebOats for All

The house of representatives has
passed a bill forbidding the clear.
ance of any ocean-going ship from an
American port without proper
equipment OF safety appliances This
proper equipment includes lifeboat ac-
commodations for all persons on
board, from the first woman TO the
last man.
In the past this country has relied
upon foreign laws to protect .Ameri-
can passengers on foreign ships sail
ing from American ports. We learned
from the Titanic disaster that the
United States must protect its own
people and rule its own ports We
learned in particular, at that time,
that the British board Of trade is
stupid and inefficient. And the les
son has been amply confirmed by sub
sequent observation OF that board In
its futile contortions over the great
wreck.
There should. of course, be no
doubt about the concurrence of the

CORONER EXERCISES
POLICE AUTHORITY

Coroner Rothacher was called upon
by Charles Sieber, Monday, TO exer-
else his police authority. the highest
in the county, and summon Sheriff
CASTOR before him relative 10 re-
plevin case.
The coroner's authority exceeds
that OF the sheriff, and TO him, such
an odd appeal as that of Sieber had
to be made.
One OF Sheriff Gaston's deputies
set out with a replevin for a bay
horse. It is said, TO be taken from a
man with a name similar to Sieber's.
He "replevined' Sieber's bay mare,
by mistake. and Sieber appealed 10
the coroner. The latter ordered the
horse returned, by replevin on Sheriff
CASTOR.
