view the material means to live and enjoy. Youth
with uplifted forehead gazes out upon the many
hued, swift moving panorama of life, and the earth
and the fulness thereof flashes across his vision
with the speed of thought. The dreams may
never materialize, Accomplishment may fail frui-
top disappoint. What fsthat, so there be more
dream kingdoms to explore, more adventures to
anticipate, SO every sun at its setting builds a
golden highway OF hope, reaching out to the
worlds edge and beyond. Blessed a thousand
times blessed are they and few are they who
never lose this precious heritage, whom the fleet
ing years, the stern realities of life can never rob
OF their spectacles of rose, the darkest corners
OF whose lives are illumined by imagination's go-
den lamp. For them the spirit to do is never
queiIed, the last adventure, the final emigration
the ultimate experience never reached For
them life has no quiet resting place beneath the
shade where the weary may sit and contemplate
with satisfaction the path traversed the adventure
undergone Rest they may but they soon hank
er for the road under their feet and the wind in
their faces. They annihate the past. glorify the
to-come, and all about them CLEAN the promised
guerdons OF fresh activity. What if they achieve
In spirit only as the years pass and creeping age
clasps its chain upon their leg? Their dreams
are LETT them and none have dared, knowing
So to deny them the better part What IL old
bones withhold them from the present turmoil of
the market place? The argonaut of their shirt
still pays demurrage in all the ports of the world
FOR such age has no tragedy. Their bodies fail
but their souls soar ndomitably Though their
limbs crave the hreside and the slippers their
spirit still seeks new battles and new adventures
upon the ringing plains of a hundred windy
Troys.

Proof Of a Broken Promise.

The Official announcement from the Navy De-
partment that the piece of metal found on the
deck of the steamer Hesperian is a portion of a
torpedo is important chiefly as confirmation of
what had always been accepted as fact by most
intelligent persons in this country that German
submarine attacked the Hesperian, with Ameri-
cans on board, September 4, week more
after Germany had solemnly assured the govern
ment at Washington that merchant ships would
not be destroyed without safeguarding human
life. Besides supplying the proof OF another
promise broken by Berlin the Navy Department
announcement, coupled with the disappearance of
the German submarines from British waters in
the last six weeks strengthens the belief that the
method of warfare of which the Lusitana, the
Arabic, the Hesperian and the others were the
victims would have been continued indefinitely,
in spite of German pledges which were hailed as
a great diplomatic triumph for Washington, had
not the British navy called halt. Germany con-
tended that the Hesperian was not sunk by tor
pedo because Berlin had received no report of
the achievement from any submarine commander
The reason why no report was received, suspected
at the time, appears perfectly clear The
submarine which attacked the Hesperian her
self either sent to the bottom captured. The
German submarines kept right with their work
in utter disregard of the pledge given to until
the British took their measure and they began to
disappear at such an alarming rate that those re-
naming were called in.
There will probably be no serious reopening
of the controversy with Germany as the result
of the Navy Departments finding. though we are
in better position to accurately appraise Ber-
Inns promises. There is still long to set
tic, and while we yet without satisfaction for
the murder of lis American men, women and
children on the Lusitania, the campaign of de-
struction appears to have been transferred from
the high seas directly to our own ports and manu-
featuring cities.

The Note of july Fl.

Now that the American government has ad-
dressed to the British a note dealing with our
grievances growing out of interference with our
commerce, it is perhaps appropriate to recall
the words of another note now apparently for
gotten.
On July Fl a communication addressed to the
German government contained this interesting
sentence:
an view OF the admission of illegality made
by the imperial government when it pleaded the
right OF retaliation in defense of its acts and in
view of the manifest possibility of conforming
to the established rules OF naval warfare the gov.
eminent OF the United States cannot believe that
the imperial government will longer refrain from
disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander
in sinking the Lusitania from offering repara-
ton for the American lives lost, so far as repara-
ton can be made for a needless destruction of
human life by an illegal act"
So far as the Tribune knows, there has been
no answer to this ntimation, surely the most
moderate ever made by nation to another in
consequence of the deliberate murder of more
than 100 men, women and children owning its ma
tionality and theoretically protected by its might
Will the British prove as tardy in responding
to protest over lost dollars as the Germans to
friendly words called forth by wanton murders
And if they do. will Washington be as patient
and complaisant?
Surely there must be few Americans who
have forgotten neither the Lusitania nor the note
of July Il? But it is difficult TO believe that any
of these Americans frequent Washington or have
the ear of the adminstraton.-New York Tribune

Hygiene.

CSIss Julia Lathrop is in favor of graduate
piled 20 the life and interests of the family.D
When ! observe the futile throes of Mrs. Giles
(become mother). and how the woman scarcely
knows book hygiene from another, but
thinks. when baby starts to yell, he should lie
face downward on his stomach; how every time
the brat begins TO voice in strident tones some
new within she merely searches him for pins or
claps another bottle to him, when it would seem
beyond question that baby Giles has indigestion;
Oh then l wonder how earth the bouncing
brood of little Gileses survived the accident of
birth while Mrs. G. suffused in smiles is preparing
lover G.s objection) to add ninth to the collec-
ton She has no handmade trained to scour and
sterilize the babys bottle no time piece indicates
the hour for pouring lacteals down his throttle;
she does not wash the child with water nearly as
often as she oughter. And garments that the books
aver are absolutely requisite-he has aseptic
diaper, no Rubens shirt, rubber nightie; a
flannel clout of septic crimson is all he rubs his
little limbs on. And when the measles or the
hives assail that horde OF blithe bambinos she
does not read advice to Wives" but hands them
each a jolt OF Eno's spoons enough OF sooth-
ing syrup to make a horse sit up and chirrup.
And so it is with her cuisine; untutored in do
mestic science the woman does not care a bean
for sanitaton's right appliance, but cooks as I've
observed, the grub in skillets that badly need a
scrubbn'. She does not chase the flies away; her
garbage cans thing OF loathing wherein the
Gileses junior play wrapped in a minimum of
clothing They roam the streets all kinds of
weather and their young hides tough as
leather. OF course they ought to die like flies by
Miss LathroP's proper showing; it fills full
of panied surprise each time | hear the baby
growing and the other little blossoms skip
ping around as fat possums. They bunch
of lively tads and for their uncultured mother
she says, Il got time for fads or learnn' some
fool book or other Them kids can always think
up sumpin to keep workin' woman humpin'."

Undoubtedly" says Col. Roosevelt, some
foolish women may believe that getting the vote
will excuse them from the performance of home
duties just as in every democratic extension of
the suffrage some foolish men have believed that
getting the vote somehow entities them to live
without working. But it is more possible to
base action argument of this kind in one
case than in the other" And even it the work
dodgers and the home deserters do vote together
when the women get the vote they will still be in
the minority.

read your paper every morning and de-
light IN many of your views and prin-
ciples, but this morning I was filled with
sJrrow by reading the article OF Mrs.
Clagett, the woman suffrage advocate.
I would like a little space In your paper
TO express my views on this subject. The
public should know that there are two
kinds OF men against woman suffrage
and one more that the good lady has
not mentioned. Let me explain: am
an ordained minister OF the Presbyterian
church, and know that the Bible Is the
main reason against women entering the
field Of politics. The Bible teaches that
II Is a shame for woman to speak in
public (cven in church,, and expressly
commands that IL they will learn any
thing let them ask their husbands at
home. These women that CAD about the
country seeking the ballot are the worst
enemies that God. state and home can
have. for they defy the commandments
Of God, and throw nature to the winds.
and forsake home. Let me refer those
women that profess TO be Christians to
the following reference:
Unto the woman He said: will
greatly multiply thy sorrow. and thy
conception; In sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children. and thy desire shall be
to thy husband. and he shall rule over
thee."-Gen. iii:l6.
