The "LOve Life and Its Obligations

THRBE things nave been
brought out very clearly In
the recently concluded trial
of two young men before the
United States District Court in
California under the Mann act.
The first of them is the grow
ing tendency OF society to esti-
mate the bearings of the case in
terms of it's social reactions.
The second is the astonishing
numbers Of people competently
prepared for life at every point
except the one which has to DO
with the conduct of their love life.
And the third, which is the
most pressing, is the need of es-
tablishing suitable restraints and
penalties to meet similar offenses
in the future.
It is not alone in expressed
public opinion that the new stti-
tude toward such Irregularities is
demonstrated.
In the sort of men chosen for
the jury, In the courts interpre-
tation Of the law, and especially
in the charge to the jury, there
is a notable absence of the dispo-
sition of men mutually to con-
done offenses peculiar to them
selves as men.
Out in the West il Is certain
that sufficient number Of citi-
zens have grown UP and out OF
this ancient reconsideration Of
women to stamp our public rat
ing Of this affair with a new NOR
al force.
Any obloquy resting upon US as
a community In which such
things can happen has been more

social and personal relations and
obligations that arise out of low,
ing.
One of the first things q writer
of fiction learns is the eXtraot-
binary ignorance Of the majority
of people of human exigencies
outside of their own experience.
For this reason alone the old
way Of leaving instruction in tho
important issues of life TO the
parents has not prov satisfao-
tory. In many cases the parents
do not know how to help their
children meet crises they haven't
themselves met. They lack know
edge of social conditions and the
teaching art. For telling youus
people that life is thus and so
is not always teaching them,
Things like this are never really
taught until they are taken INTO
the working consciousness Of the
individual.
Here in America we spend a great
deal on the young generations
1t behooves us as a business peo-
pie to spend a little more time
and consideration to prevent them
ma king a fiasco OF their lives. u.s.
in the present instance. For thas
is the outcome Of the whole f.

These young men, because o. d
certain failure of efficiency in on
ly one department OF their llvc3S

than counterbslanced by the cpir-
it IN which 1t has been met.
But the other two items are
still to meet. The one of them
involves measure Of prevention,
the other concerns the question
of the cure.
An extraordinary insufficfency
OF the knowledge of the princi-
pies of human conduct was shown
by the parties to the case. They
knew, Of course, that what they
did was called wrong, wicked"
but they did not know it to the
degree which prevented them
from doing It, as they could have
been prevented by knowledge
from exposing themselves to
smallpox or the plague. And yet
the social consequences of such
acts are as certain and as widely
known as the consequences of in
lection. The knowledge which
these young people had did not
penetrate to or affect their love
life. Here society must hold IT.
self somewhat to blame.

responsibilities that are tied UP

A. Astronomers only in Gov

the Government. Others receive
pay from the universities. But
the majority have no pay, and
are often sorely pressed to get a
living. They devote every mo-
ment from youth to death in
studying the supremacy magnif-
cent laws of the sidereal universe.

Five of the Laws.

in passing from a dense TO rare
medium il bent out OF it's course

H. The set specific heat OF amy

OF the resistance in ohms, and
current strength, in amperes, in
each Of several conductors is
equal TO the sum OF all the cleo

TEN make circuit in ellipses, the
sun being in the common focus
OF them all.
V. The differential Of a varia-
bic affected with an exponent is
the continued product OF the en-
ponent, the variable with its ex-
ponent less /, and the differential
Of the variable.

The Main Object.

inc MAIN OpJect.
TINE main object of most hu-
man beings is to avoid
death, and yet death is the
only certain thing in life.
From the hour we draw the
first breath we are going forward
to meet death. r
Instead Of regarding death as a
foe, would it not be more sensible
to think of it as friend?
One who comes to take us on
delightful journey?
There are some advanced meta
physicians who talk and write
about the possibility of living
continually and perpetualiy in
this body George Francis Train
declared he should do so. He
believed he had overcome death.
He believed he had acquired the
life habit, and he meant to prove
that there was no need of chang
ing bodies.
But his body is now dust.
Life Would Pail.
Mary Baker Eddy and Helen
Wilmans and Wallace Wattle3
and Eleanor Kirk all talked this
same philosophy; all believed
they had entered upon life eter-
nal in this body on this earth.
Yet all are gathered to their
fathers ALL changed their
worlds"
All live, on other planes in
higher states OF Consciousness.
No doubt all come near the old
scenes and influence those whose
minds are tuned in the same key,
at times.
Yet they have experienced that
change which we call death.

END BREWERY
DOMINATION
Bill in Legislature to Pre-
vent Control of Saloon.
(From the NEWS Correspondent.)

tFrOn the NEWS CorTespondent.)
Trenton, Feb. 1S:-Claiming that
practically 80 per cent. of saloons in
this state are either directly owned
by brewers or controlled by them
through chattel mortgages and pow
ers of attorney, the New Jersey Anti
Saloon League last night had a bill
put in the assembly prohibiting man
ufacturers and wholesalers of liquor
from having any financial interest in
the retailing of such liquors. The
measure forbidS a wholesaler or
manufacturer from having any such
financial interest, either directly or
indirectly; Dr. from acquiring any
lien on the retail business, or on the
real or personal property of such re-
t~ailers, either for money furnished,
liquors furnished or any other act
whatsoever in connection with such
retail traffic; also forbidding and in
validating agreements for the eXclu-
sive sale of any particular brand or
make of intoxicating liquors; also
providing regulations for the trans
fer of licenses.
The bill provides that II any per-
son other than the licensee shall
have any interest in q license, the
license shall be null and void. 1t
provides further, that II any license
be assigned pending the prosecution
OF such license for the commission
of any crime or for the violation OF
this act, such license shall be for
feited and be null and void. The bill
was introduced by Mr.. Hates, oil
Camden.
