that it was obligatory for a man to

one wife, he called sinful, and pointed
to the example of Solomon as near

wife Martha was not legally his wife,
as there had never been any cere-

me to become his wife did not think
was injuring her rights as mar

A MANS HOME
By H. M. Cochran.

BY n. NJ. Cochran.
The Office seems a habit,
The street car is the same,
A poolroom answers nicely,
When a fellow wants a game.
The fve-cent show comes handy;
For that, man will fall;
But if a man is human, then
His home looks best of all.
He spends his time in clubrooms,
In some friends racing car;
He'll meet you in cigar stores,
Or hanging cross bar.
He'll sit up with sick friend,
He'll go to any ball;
But, if a man is human, then
His home looks best of all.
There's trips down to his doctors
When he has naught to do;
He'll hit the bowling alleys
To bowl a game or two.
They're pecks of stunts and doings,
For which the men will fall.
But if a man is human, then
His home looks best of all.
1890
The man who ducks his duties in
the matter of taking his wife to So
cial functions is usually the same
chap who will lay down his news
paper to lick his son for wanting to
stay home from school.

The growth of independent nonpartsan voting at municipal state and national elections has been frequently remarked during the past 15 years That growth has been most rapid during the past two years and part due to steam roller tactics of national and state conventions and the selection of delegates by the hand picked method which made successful operation of the steam roller possible The fact that American beginning generally believe good citizen valuable asset than good Republican, good Democrat, good Progressive good Socialist

the strict enforcement of all the
