About Marrying.
u By p

in selection and reasonable grounds
for the choice.
Proper marriages are not only
love matches, but both parties enter
this state with a full realization of
the importance of material things.
for love will not pay for food and
lodging, or for clothing the body.
So long as there is a physical
side TO life, Just so long the ma
terialistic must play an equal part
with the spiritual or sentimental.
Consideration OF the material does
not interfere with the spiritual.
Most of the matrimonial mis-
takes are made BY those who think
they love, or do not think much
about it any way. and not by those
who kHo5U that they love.
The man who marries, when he
cannot support a wife, and without
prospect of giving her a comfort
able home, is a scoundrel; and the
woman who marries for a home
only, or because she does not de-
sire to continue in the state of cold
maidenhood," is not fit to be any
mans partner.
To enter natrimony without
thought of material costs is as
wicked and as dangerous as it would
be to attempt to cross the ocean in
a leaky boat, unseaworthy and I'M
provisioned.
Before proposing. strip yourself
of sentiment for the time being,
and do not marry unless you can
give several reasons why you would
ask the selected woman to be your
life's partner. If you cannot give
them, something is the matter with
you. with her, or with both of you.
People fit to marry. and suited to
each other, do not allow unsup-
ported sentiment 10 guide them.
Their love is both spiritual and ma
terial.
Unless you know why you want
to marry a certain woman, don't
marry her.
When in doubt, don't.

NEED MORE INSPECTORS
FOR POSTOFFICE WORK
Increase Asked Because of Parcel
Post Mail and Work of
Fourth-class Offices.
DESIRE THIRTY MORE MEN

Owing to the fourth class postmasters
being placed under civil service, the Post
office Department will ask Congress to
increase the number of postoffice inspec-
tors from 800 to 40. The increased num-
Der will be asked for also partly on ac-
count of the increase in the volume of
mail due to parcel post.
Under the new way of appointing post
masters of the lowest grade either by
civil service examination or by the POST
oftice Department, inspectors visiting
fourth class offices where the salary Is
less than $50 year. the work of the
inspectors has been largely increased.
1t is admitted at the department that
there has been no increase in depreda-
tons upon the mails, but officials contend
that the increase in robberies and thefts
is normally proportionate to the increase
In volume OF mail due to parcel post.
The department officials admit also
that insured parcel post matter is being
carried at present in the same bags with
uninsured matter, but they say that all
parcel post matter soon will be for
warded in locked bags, and when the
most desirable has been selected 1t will
be furnished to all postoffices.

Representative Jermiah Donovan. OF

knows what he wrote is the truth and
nothing but the truth.
Yes. The Herald printed an article in
which Mr. Donovan was one of the
two principal figures, the other person
concerned being Mr.. Oscar Underwood's
esteemed friend, Richmond Pearson Hob
son, whose name also received consid-
cradle space in the newspapers during
the late unpleasantness with Spain.

TATHY not a talk on marriage?
w Almost everybody worth
while is married, is going
to be, or is considering it.
Marriage will either make or
break a man.
The sentimentalist may differ
from me, but he cannot controvert
the recognized fact that the average
man and woman give less attention
to making the marriage contract
than they would to purchasing an
automobile, to building a homc-
house, or to leasing an apartment.
Accurate statistics are impossi-
ole, but those who have studied the
question are of the opinion that not
more than one out OF a hundred
marriages are entirely satisfactory
to both parties, or to either of
them, although it is likely that most
husbands and wives live in reason
able harmony.
If what has been said is true,
then he who marries has but one
chance out of a hundred OF con-
tracing an alliance which he may
not, consciously or unconsciously,
regret.
To be married right is heaven;
to be married wrong is hell.
No one should select a partner
for life without the most careful
consideration, and without weighing
the pros and cons in the final men,
tai scale.
Real love is safe; it does not play
for chances. 1t is sensible, and the
action of it is sure; but it is often
difficult to differentiate between real
love and the imitation of it, or
what is commonly called sentiment,
which may not be founded on love,
and which may be based upon pas
sion or infatuation.
Try as we will, we cannot dag
nose with certainty, but there is a
vast difference between carefulness
