but $40 for it. Such a bargain!
And Mr. Smith remarks that it
looks good to him, and he's glad
he's married to a woman who
knows the value of money and
doesn't fool it away as other wom-
en- do. And Mrs. Smith kisses him,
and has the difference between
what she pays for the hat and
what she says she paid for the hat
charged up on the grocery book
and the butcher book, and deep
peace reigns over Europe, Asia,
Polynesia and the Smith family.
Such experiences are not con-
fined to the Smith family. They
are daily enacted in every house
hold in the land, and the fault is
not with the liar, but with the ty-
rant that makes the liar. No man
but would like to be frank with
his wife No woman but would
like to be open and aboveboard
with her husband, but the price
of veracity is a continual row, and
we all prefer peace even if we
have to get it by subterfuge.
The truth is, we are all afraid
of our husbands and wives, and
fear breeds liars. A woman makes
her husband lie to her because
she won't stand for the truth. \
man puts premium on his wife
deceiving him because he won't
stand for the truth from her, and
so it goes, and the biggest whop-
per that any man or woman ever
tells is when they say to the part
ners Of their bosoms. Il always
tell You the truth about every
thing
OF course, it's better 10 fib than
to be divorced, but most people
have felt that the domestic lie was
a degradation, and these will be
cheered and comforted by Judge
Phillips decision that such lies
are not only admissible, but a con
jIgal duty.

From EDWIN MARKHAM.

TELEN KELLAR, in many
ways the most wonderful
woman of the age, has
just published a book, out of the
Dark" through the Doubleday
Page Company. In spite of both
deafness and blindness, she has
conquered the knowledge of the
world. and writes like a fervent
prophecies of many of our anx-
ious problems. Here are some
timely words of wisdom for the
myriads of young people who are
Just returning to their work in the
schools:
In college you will be brought
face to face with nearly all the
fundamental questions of life,
and you will learn how many men
have tried to solve them. Hitch
your wagon to a happy star. and
you also shall help to solve them.
The world needs your intellect,
your scholarship, but most of all
your hearts-hearts that are low
ing. brave, hopeful, happy,
Does all this dream Of high
privilege and noble service seem
far beyond the reach of your
powers of mind? Remember what
Senator Hoar said: Much of the
good work of the world has been
that of dull people who have done
their best
Fears and regrets have no
place in the vocabulary Of youth,
whose spirit sets Wits white >and
shining wings toward the purple
shores Of the promised land. BE
happy talk happiness. Happi-
ness calls ont responsive gladness
in others There is enough sad
ue.s in the world without yours.

family. A wife objects to a hus-
band attending lodge meetings.
Why tell her about it? What she
doesn't know won't hurt her"
Assuredly not. And it's per-
fectly wonderful how many astute
married people, with a proper re-
spect for their own peace and COM
fort, have anticipated Judge Phil
lips decision. and instead Of tell
ing their respective husbands and
wives the truth that would raise
a row have told the little lie that

Viewing the subjet from every
possible standpoint, the life in.
surance policy relieves the en-
barrassment covering a verv deli.
cate proposition; its giving is also
a graceful, gracious, generous
act altogether in the line of COM
mon sense, sentiment, economics
and sound eugenics.
Further, the plan puts the man
on his good behavior. Not only
must he be able to pass the exam
ination so as to secure the policy
but he must have the money to
pay for the first years premium.
Just before marriage a man is
generous, if he ever is in his life.
The woman who expects her
husband to take out a life insur-
ance policy after they are welded
may find postronement and
"Huerta Manana" snoozing on
the doorstep.
The old time post-nupti7i
agreement was nearly as bald
proposition as the suggested
health certificate.
The life insurance policy soft.
ems down the angularities of both.
l would really like to see a Fed
eral law passed covering this
question. If not that, then ler
each State pass a law of its own.
Among the Presents.
That the States have a right TO
fix the conditions under which
marriage shall occur is freely adj
mitted, and no honest or capable
man would object to the insig-
niflcant tax involved. especially
in view of the fact that the policy
is worth the money, being issued
by company supervised by gov
eminent.
Under these conditions its issu-
ance would be not only a duty,
but a privilege.
You can not very well hand
around q certificate of health at
the supper table for the entire
family to inspect. Neither would
it look well on the piano among
the bridal presents.
A life insurance policy, how
ever, is occasionally even now
found among the gewgaws and
jimcracks. No one is ever shock
ed. Its lines are pleasant, and all
that 1t suggests is beautiful. right
hygienic and altogether lovely
Life insurance, like fire insur-
ance, after all. is for the insured.
He is the beneficiary.
Fire insurance is for the man
whose property doesn't burn I'd,
and a life policy is for the man
who lives. There is no benzoate
of soda in life insurance policy.
The fact that a man is insured
makes him a better cit zen, ana, /

Eugenic Marriages
Bv EBERT HUBBARD

y EVERAL States in the Union
have adopted laws providing
for a physical examination
Of the prospective bridegroom
and a refusal of the marriage Ii
cense to all who fail to pass.
But securing a certificate of
health, however, and presenting
it to the interested parties is a
rather uncanny affair
Altogether it involves a degree
of publicity that is rather embar-
RAISING for quite number Of
people concerned.
A Bridegroom Policy.
Nature works by indlrection.
She gets the thing she wants by
going after something else.
In this matter of eugenics let
us take a lesson from the dame.
My suggestion is that every
man. before the marriage cere-
mony is performed, comply with
one little requirement.
That is, let him present to the
prospective bride an insurance
policy on his life.
The size Of the policy he can fix
himself The amount will mir
ror his financial status, not his
love Let it be for a minimum of,
say. one thousand dollars. with
no limit to the ante on the max
imum.
\ life insurance policy implies
the health of the individual and
all medical examiners will under
stand and appreciate the impor-
tance as welt as the import Of
"A Brideeroom's Policy"
An insurance policy puts the
whole thing on gracious, grace
full and generous ground.
An insurance policy is valua-
bic gift, and when it comes as a
love token it will be especially
priced.
If woman gives her life into
the keeping of a man. why should
not the man in return give her at
least a policy on his life?
Not only is a life insurance poll
icy a guaranty of health, but it is
also a guaranty Of something
quite as important, and that is
business acumen.
To be able to secure a life in
surance policy is a privilege. Not
every man can get one.
A Health Certificate.
But in the past anybody could
get married, and can yet, who is
able to pay a license fee of so
cents.
As for the clergyman, we can
stand him of.
A life insurance policy is a GER
tifiCate of character, a certificate
of health, a symbol of economic
suniciency and efficiency-aIl in
one.

National Grazing Lauds.

In making study Of grazing lands
on the national forests, 1875 entirely
new species of plants have been dis :
covered by the governments experts,
and viii! be named aud classified by
the botanists of the department Of
agriculture.
Their discovery came about through
the collection of some 5000 different
plant specimens. with notes as to
their habits of growth and forage
value. This work is part Of com.
prehensive plan to determine the
grazing value of every acre of national
forest land, in which the capacity Of
the soil to grow certain forage crops
is to be determined and an effort
made to decide for which class OF
stock-sheep, cattle, or goats-lhe
range is best suited.

Famine Threatens Balkans.


Former United States Senator La
Toilette Young Of Iowa arrived at
London last week from the. ServiaD
army headquarters at Nish.
Mr.. Young said that from the
uumber of wounded men he saw. the
war in the Balkans must be the most
brutal ever fought.
1.-The most serious situation for the
Balkans" said Mr.. Young. "is the ut.
ter absence of anything for the people
to live on when winter comes. Wheat
and oats are rotting in the fields and
corn is being strangled by weeds.
The army is taking all Of the hay for
the thousands of oxen engaged IN
transport service"
Mr.. Young said that cholera was
prevalent among the soldiers every
where 10 the war zone.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION
U. S. Recalls and Replaces
Ambassador Wilson.
WONDER CONCERNING JAPAN
England and the Monroe Doctrine
Again.

Much interest Is being takenin the
visit Of General Felix Diaz OF Mexico
to Japan. Daz claims his mission is
merely to thank the mikado fol
Japan's action IN 1910 of sending a
representative to the celebration OF
the centennial of Mexican independ-
ence. In an interview at San Fran.
cisco, Diaz said:
"Mexico is wholly friendly with
Japan and the japanese are very vel
come to come to Mexico. We need
all the labor we can get and are glad
to have the japanese come. Our
immigration laws are not like those
of the United States"
1t is believed in some quarters that
Diaz's visit is in connection with
secret negotiations between the Mexi.
can and Japanese governments where.
by Japan is to obtain concession for
a naval base on Magdelena bay and a
foothold on American soil, thus
enabling Japan to cope with the
United States for future military aud
commercial supremacy.
President Wilson has recalled
Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador TO
Mexico and accepted his resignation,
and former Governor John LIND of
Minnesota has been sent to the Mexi-
can capital as personal representative
of the president. The government at
Washington has decided not to
recognize the Huerta regime in Mex-
CO.
Keen interest has been aroused at
Washington by report that Great
Britain contemplates establishing
great naval base in the Bermuda
islands, presumably to safeguard
British shipping through the Panama
canal, as is done 10 the Mediterran-
can. 1t is realized that the plan in .
wolves the Monroe Doctrine.

STATE SCHOOL FUNDS
Counties Get Less Money Than
Heretofore.

Counties will get less money from
the state fund for schools this year
than last in proportion to the school
population. Miss Eernice Mccoy,
assistant superintendent of public iu.
struction, has just completed the ap.
portionment Of the state fund amoog
the counties, says the Statesman.
The total amount to he apportioned
this year is $20l, ,594.l5. This Is but
an increase OF about $4,000 over last
year, while the increase of 1912 over
1911 was about $23, 900. The total
school population OF the state this
year Is l08,9l5. Last year it was l04,.
735. This shows that while there
was an increase in school population
OF over 1000, the increase in the
school fund was but $4,000.
The amount to be apportioned to
each school child is 81 .S5O93.
KoOtenai county's share Of the
amount is $I2, 300 80.

claimed: "The thing that struck
me with surprise was how the
American farmer struggled along
IN this country for some two or
three hundred years before the
senator from Kansas appeared up
on the floor of the senate as guard
ian ad litem for all rural folk"
That's sample OF the senatorial
courtesy-minus, that the wise men

plies to Oregon, Washington,
Montana and Idaho, and if i, is
found that there is a violation OF
the Sherman ANTITRUST law in those
