PROMOTION OF THRIFT.

A society for the promotion of
thrift was organized the other day
in this city. The promoting" is TO
be done by means of inquiry, educa-
ton and discussion. Bulletins are to
be published typical cases of thrift
are to be brought to general notice:
talks ON thrift are to be given In the
public schools.
The first bulletin of the commit
tee on organization is excellent. 1T
reminds US that the maxims of Poor
Richard were once a household pos
session and reflection of the ma
tional spirit. 1t points out that the
proverbial American extravaganza is
a comparatively new acquisition.
And it lays stress on the fact that
the ordinary conception of thrift is
erroneous. There are foolish reform
economists who write solemnly
against thrift, which they define as
the habit of saving and self-denial.
As a matter of fact thrift means earn
| ing, conserving. planning, increasing,
as well as saving.
| Tt is impossible not to sympathize
with the aims and principles of the
tsociety. He who makes two bank

THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR.

No matter how hard that part of
the population to whom Christmas
means care and labor tries to put off
the inevitable preparations for the
greatest of holidays, the arrival Of
toy-laden ships from Germany calls
lit sharply to attention.
While the American mind has been
occupied with the Fourth of July.
baseball and other things associated
with summer, patient fingers in that
PARKWAY land have been busy fabri-
eating the charming nothings which
will delight American children under
the glamour of the Christmas tree.
And now the fruit of their toll and
ingenuity is beginning to pass
through the custom houses in huge
cargoes, which will soon be distribut-
ed among the toy stores and thence
pass into the possession of eager little
ones in thousands of homes.
The arrival of the ship the other
day with / 900 tons of this joy-bring-
| ing freight warns us that 1t will soon
| be time to hang up the Xmas stock
| ing and that is already time for the
wise man to be looking after the
| things to go into the stockings.

THE REAL STRENGTH.

The man who really wants to get
at the facts in the case has only to
look little way into the progressive
vote in Hammond TO see that even
the votes for councilmen show on the
face of the returns greater strength
than the party really has in the city.
There was no special fight made on
these candidates and many republi-
can or democrat was concerned only
with the head of the ticket. Inas-
much as he cared only for this and
had given no thought to the candi-
dates for council, or the other candi-
dates for that matter, he simply
marked the head of the ticket and
let the matter go at that Thus
these same candidates for other
offices got more votes than they
would have received otherwise Yet
fourth place was the best that some
of them could get in some of the pre-
cincts

GETTING TIRED.

1t is possible that the people are
growing weary Of being ffattered and
fawned upon by the politicians? So
long as few dema gogues monopolize
the practice of pretending to be the
peoples only friends and champions,
there was something in the device.
but now "everybody's doing it," and
ii is hard for any candidate or set
of candidates to establish the fact
that they are really the only simon
pure blown in the bottle, warranted
not to rip, tear, or wear down at the

this phase OF the campaign Just clos
ed in Massachusetts, the Springfield
Republican says:
Anyone who has followed the lit

ways in which each aspirant for the

Heart to Heart
Talks
TIE LONG ARM.
By CHARLES NJ. LURE

From Russia to America. across
thousands of leagues of land and sea.
came Mrs. Sonic Sorin, young
widow.
She came not to make home In
this country. She remained among us
only few days. She has gone back
to Russia. The young woman came
here in obedience to an ancient He
brew law which says that a woman
may not remarry unless the nearest
male relative of her deceased husband
either marries her or gives her per
mission to marry another.
The law is very old. Orthodox He
brew women still consider it binding
on their conscienceS and on their
courses of action.
So Mrs. Sorin travelled from a little
town in the interior of Russia to Co.
lumbus, O.. to get from her husband's
brother further release from the ties
already partly severed by death.
Curious old custom? Yes, but it Illus
trates well the tenacity with which she
and many of her coreligionists cling to
their old orthodox beliefs.
Arriving in New York. Mrs. Sorin
said:
From Russia to Ohio is a long jour
ney. BUT FURTHER THAN THAT
EXTENDS TIE LAW"
Unknowingly she enunciated a great
truth.
Further than that extends the law
She meant only her religious law. but
is not her saying applicable to other
laws?
Take the law of conscience, for ex.
ample. How far do you think you
would have to fee to reach a place
where 1t could not overtake you? The
peak of the highest mountain, the
least frequented arctic solitude. the
greatest depth yet sounded In the sea?
Further than that extends the law.
Do you think a plunge into the whirl
Of work or pleasure or dissipation will
drown out the voice that tells you OF
your own wrongdoing?
No, for further than that extends
the law"
More. material laws have long arms
too Every day we hear OF men over
taken by evidences Of crimes commit
ted in years gone by. Not only murder
will out but so will lesser offenses
against the criminal code. A man MAJ
flee from the scene of his crime. BE-
may change his name. he may live foi
years In the atmosphere of respecta
bility. but In many cases the law finds
him out.
And If it does not?
Well, the law of conscience is more

ON GOING TO CHURCH.

A pastor recently sent out letters
ing men, asking them why they did
not attend church services He re-
ceived many replies and they formed
the basis OF Sunday sermon. Among
the reasons given were the follow
ing:
Unchurched men are as good as
the men of the church.
Too many hypocrites in the church
Dishonest church members.
Large hats worn by the ladies'
Uncomfortable churches.
Lack of sociability
Choir singing.
Indifferent church members.
Church thinks more of mans
money than of his SOUL
It will be noted that nearly all the
replies laid the blame on the church
organization, its management or it
membership. The men who did not
go to church did not refer to theil
own shortcomings. including lack oil
purpose. disbelief and indifference
and these are the shortcomings that
the ministers have always been en-.
deavoring to overcome.
When man does not want to &c
to church, it is not usually the fault
of the church or the service. Ths
fault lies in the man himself.-Grant
IRapids-News Press.

A NEEDED WARNING.

Judge Gary uttered a wholly I'M
derstandable truth recently when he
said that the indiscriminate attack
upon great business institutions was
at the bottom of all our economic
danger.
Recently 1900 employees of the
steel corporation petitioned the
United tSates court to dismiss it's suit
to dissolve that corporation says the
Logansport Reporter
And what?" asks the Atlanta
Constitution, lis the explanation of
this remarkable fact? 1t is the
theory upon which our demagogical
politicians are operating that all big
business, all vast industrial opera
tions employing the skill, intelligence
and the muscular labor of great num-
bers of the people who have to work
for wages should be broken up and
put in the hands of small operators;
but 1t happens that the armies Of
wage earners who are employed in
those vast establishments see IN the
proposed breakup only loss and dis
aster to themselves.
All this has some good sense in it
and these soldiers of financial for
tune. who look to disturbance for
their loot will find that the intelli-
gence of the wage worker is keen
enough to penetrate the fallacy OF
their pretensions.

ToDAY,s BIRTHDAY HoNoRs.

Lawrence Y, Sherman, the choice of
the Republican party in Illinois to sue
ceed Shelby NJ. Cullom in the United
States Senate, was born in Miami coun-
~, Ohio, November s. 1858. Less than
year later he was taken by his par
ents to Illinois. which state has been
his home ever since. At the age of 16
he went to work on his fathers farm,
and for several years all the schooling
he had was acquired through his own
effort from books. With money earned
by helping his neighbors through the
threshing season he was enabled to at
tend McKendroo college, where he
graduated in law in 1882. Within a
few years he was elected city attorney
of Macomb. Ill. which position proved
"a stepping stone to the office of county
Judge. After one term of the bench
Judge Sherman returned to the practice
|of his profession. and son was rated
lone of the leading lawyers of central
Illinois. He became a member of the
,1ninois House of Representatives in
1896. and later served as lieutenant
governor of the State.
