but SO 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. A
man puts a 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: q always
tell you the truth about every
thing
Of course, it's better to 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
jugal duty.

on earth where strict veracity is
at as much of a discount as it is
in the family circle, which uni
versal experience proves that,
however admirable it may be as
theory, it is a boomerang in prac-
tice. Probably no man and no
woman ever tries telling the exact
truth TO his wife or her husband,
but once. That once is sufficient
to point the moral. Let it not be
forgotten that the champion liars
of history and tradition, Ananias
and Sapphira, were a married
couple, who had doubtless acquired
deXterity in putting across plaus-
ible fibs in dealing with each other.
Now, most married people, while
recognizing the impossibility of
maintaining the character of Truth
ful James and Veracious Sally,
and still keeping up friendly re-
lations, have regretted this neces-
sity. More: They have been
troubled in their consciences about
the matter, for they were not by
nature liars and would gladly have
dallied with the truth if they could.
To these unhappy tarradiddlers
there is balm in Gilead by the de-
cision that has just been handed
down by Judge George L. Phillips,
of Cleveland. Ohio, who gives it
as his judicial opinion that when
a little lie will preserve the do
nestle calm. the husband should
tell it bravely and well, and in
manner to carry conviction.
Indeed, Judge Phillips-a Daniel,
a second Daniel, ! say, come to
judgment-holds that a man is
actually reprehensible if he with
holds the falsehood from his wife
that would have prevented fam
lily squabble In commenting on
the evidence in a divorce case.
Judge Phillips opined:
"A little diplomacy, and there
would have been no trouble in this

He Was Afraid to Tell
His Wife the Plain
Truth.

The police Immediately began
search for the footpads, and as
they began to get warm" as the
children say in playing hide and
seek, the gentleman confessed that
there had been no assault made
upon him, but that he had tarried
downtown too long and looked too
often upon the beer as it foameth,
and had fallen against a fence in
trying to find his own domicile. and
that he had concocted his cute lit
tie lie about the assassins because
he was afraid to so home and tell
his wife the unvarnished truth.
Thus do we see how fear of the
partners of our bosoms makes liars
of us all

Why Married People Lie to Each Other
They Won't Tolerate the Truh---t Means Quane and They
Rather Have Peace Even if They Have Fb That End

MOT long ago a wealthy West
ern woman was heavily
fined by the customs au-
thOrities for falsifying her state
ment about the value of a dress
she had bought in Paris. Upon in
vestigation the Collector announced
that he was convinced that the
reason the lady made a false re-
port of what she paid for the frock
was not because she desired to
defraud the Government, but be-
cause she was afraid to tell her
husband the truth about what the
garment had cost.
About the same time a man in
an Eastern town appeared early
one morning with a black eye and
the most frightful tale Of how he
had been waylaid by robbers and
almost murdered, and left for dead

crawled home as soon as he re-

A Joyous Gospel From
Helen Keller

Rebel against the hardness and
injustice of things as much as
you like. It is always we'll TO
keep your fighting edge keen to
smite wrongs wherever You meet
them. But never doubt the per
manence and excellence of what
is yet to be.
THE great, enduring realities
are love and service. Joy is the
holy fire that keeps our purpose
warm and our intelligence aglow.
Work without joy shall be as
nothing. Resolve to keep happy,
and your JOY and you shall form
an invincible host against Difficult
ties.
Learn from your books not
only the days lesson, but the life
lesson. In all knowledge, in the
classics, in science, in history and
literature, and in mathematics
you will see the struggle Of man
to get nearer to God. Resolve
then, as you stand on the thres-
hold of your student days, with
an enlightened optimism TO con-
secrate your education to the ser
vice of others. When your
thoughts become pessimIst.',
when it seems as if all men We're
deafened by the tumult Of trade,

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

From EDWIN MARKHAM

TT Ellen KELLAR, in many
II 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 ard 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 its white and
shining wings toward the purple
shores of the promised land. Be
happy, talk happiness. Happi-
ness calls out responsive gladness
in others. There is enough sad
ness in the world without yours.

Eugenic Marriages
By EBERT HUBBARD

~ EVERAL States in the Union
have adopted laws providing
for a physical examination
Of the prospective bridegroom
and refusal Of the marriage IL
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 a number Of
people concerned.
A Bridegroom Policy.
Nature works by indirection.
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 1t be for a minimum of,
say, one thousand dollars, with
no limit to the ante on the max
imum.
A life insurance policy implies
the health of the individual, and
all medical examiners will under
stand and appreciate the impor-
tance as well as the import Of
"A Bridegroom's Policy"
An insurance policy puts the
whole thing on a gracious, grace
full and generous ground.
An insurance policy is a valua-
BILE gift. and when it comes as a
love token it will be especially
priced.
II a 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 guaranty of health, but 1t 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 off.
A life insurance policy is cer-
tifcate of character, a certificate
of health, a symbol Of economic
sufficiency and eficiency-all in
one.
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-10-07

Viewing the subjet from every
possible standpoint, the life in
surance policy relieves the en-
barrassment covering a very 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 IN
pay for the first years premium
Just before marriage a man !,
generous, If he ever is IN his lfs
The woman who expects her
husband to take out a life inglr-
ance policy after they are welded
may find postronement and
"Huerta Manana" snoozinx on
the doorstep.
The old time post-r1,D+4vI
agreement was nearly as bald a
proposition as the suggested
health certificate.

eral law passed covering this
question. If not that, then le,
each State pass a law of its own
Among the Presents.
That the States have a right 10
fix the conditions under which
marriage shall occur is freely ad-
mitted, and no honest or capable
man would object to the insig-
nlf1cant tax involved, especially
in view of the fact that the policy
is worth the money, being issued
by a company supervised by gov
ernment.
Under these conditions its issu-
ance would be not only a duty,
but a privilege.
You can not very we'll hand
around a certificate Of health at
the supper table for the entire
family to inspect. Neither would
1t look we'll 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. It's lines are pleasant, and all
that it 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 up,
and a life policy is for the man
who lives. There is no benzoate
of soda in a life insurance policy.
The fact that a man is insured
makes him a better citizen, and,
believe. a better husband and IA
ther. So there you are.

BANKS MUST BE
SERVANTS NOT MASTERS. g

Washington, June Declaring
the occasion vital to the country at
large, President Wilson for the sec
ond time in his administration today
came to the capitol to personally de
liver a message to congress. The
president demanded immediate ac-
tion on the currency bill, which is to
be formally placed before congress at
once. The keynote of his speech was
that the currency measure is a twin
with the tariff bill and that the cur
rency reform is vitally necessary to
enable the business interests of the
country to adjust themselves to new
conditions arising out of the revision
of the tariff schedules.
He pleaded in particular for gov
ernment control of the banks that
they might be "the servants, not the
masters of the people"
Plainly in deep earnestness, but
showing not the slightest trace of
nervousness, the president personally
read his message When he arrived
at the capitol in an automobile with
Secretary Tumulty as his only COM
panion, the president went at once
to the speakers room, from where
he was escorted by Senators Reed,
Kern, Gallinger and Congressman I'm
derwood, Mann and Fitzgerald to the
speakers desk.
There was a smaller crowd in the
galleries than on the occasion of the
presidents first visit to congress.
The number of admission tickets
had been cut in half, but despite a
heavy train, numerous leaders Of
fashion were present to listen to the
presidents plea.
There were 1926 seats vacant on
the floor of the house chamber dur
ing the reading of the presidents
message Members OF the admins
tration asserted that this was due to
the fact that many congressman had
been excused to enable them to make
visits home The presidents arrival
was applauded He began reading
without preliminary and spoke slow
ly and carefully. He ended the
reading Of his address at 1903 p. m.
and then bowed a farewell. The
house adjourned Immediately after
the reading of the message.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS,
STANDING TIMBER FOR SALE.

Through the local forestry office,
bids are being called for the sale of
100000 feet of timber in the Swede
Basin district, located 2S miles from
this city. The timber is largely sugar
pine, with some cypress and Douglas
fir, and the sale is being made on ap-
pllcation Of spaulding Bros, who op-
crate the Swede Basin saw mill. An
attache Of the forestry office will go
out to scale the timber and to mark
the trees for cutting within a short
time. An official mark is put upon
each tree that is to be cut, and If the
people who purchase this standing
timber cut trees other than those with
the government mark, they are
charged double rate for the timber so
cut.

RAY DIAMOND OF
A DUAL PERSONALITY.

Glendale, Or, June 23.-Friends
of Ray Diamond, the young man now
a fugitive in the mountains west of
here, following his sensational hold
ing up OF the Glendale State bank, to-
day declared the man a victim of a
dual personality.
Until month ago, when he lost
his position because of an alteration
with fellow workman, Diamond had
led an exemplary life, was received in
the best homes, was a leading mem
Der of the local dramatic club and a
well known fraternalist. His calm
exterior was in striking contrast to
his tastes fer reading, however, a
search of his cabin disclosing hun
dreds of books dealing with robber-
les, murders and exploits of outlaws.
No further trace has been found of
Diamond, though Sheriff Quine is still
searching the trails on this side of the
mountains.

ALLEGED CHECK
ARTIST Is ARRESTED,

Constable Randle has gone to Ash
land today where a man is under ar
rest who is thought 70 be A. L. Baker,
wanted in this city for passing worth
less checks upon local merchants
Mr.. Randle is accompanied by Carl
Hull, a clerk at Calhoun's store,
who is to identify Baker, he having
sold him a bill of goods, and having
taken of the phoney checks.
Baker came here early in the
month and opened up accounts at
both the Josephine County and the
First National banks, making small
deposits at each. These accounts he
checked out, gaining a certain credit
at the business houses, and Saturday
night when he appeared at business
houses and offered checks in return
for small purchases they we're ac-
cepted without question. On the last
instance, however, the checks which
he offered were drawn on the First
State Bank of Rogue River, and were
signed &C. Owens" There is a well
known and reliable farmer OF the
Evans creek district by the name of
c. Owens, and as Baker represented
that he had been working for him,
the checks bearing that signature
were readily accepted.
II transpired, however, that Baker
had a side partner who claimed the
name of c. Owen, and under It had
made deposit of $25 in the Rogue
River bank. When the checks passed
by Baker appeared at the Rogue
River bank, the fund was too near
depleted for payment of the paper,
and the checks We're returned mark
ed not paid for want Of funds. Baker
disappeared leaving his suit case at
the depot, and since then the off,
GERS have been on his trail. In the
suit case were other checks filled out
for $40 and SIS each, drawn on the
Rogue River bank, and signed by &C
Ovens" showing that Baker had ex-
pected to realize further from the
same source. The check passed at
Calhoun's was for SIS, with which
he purchased a small amount Of
goods and received the balance in
cash A check of the same size was
handled in the same way at the Peer
