 If eugenics is to produce the perfect baby every mother believes that her middle name is Eugenics.
 The reason why a woman always cries when she hears good news is be cause man always laughs when he hears good news.
 What has become of the old fashion ed woman who had to have three fits before she could open telegram? <. Most married women seem to have the idea that the best way to preserve husband is to keep him in hot water all the time.
 A woman can keep a secret when she knows that all her women acquaint- ances know. it.

 When friend wife gets back from a trip friend husband is so glad to see her that he meets her at the train and kisses her. And he takes her by the arm and is as tickled as a boy with a new rifle But about two days later he is fussing with her again
 When a man has no show at home
 
 As rule, a man never has sense enough to marry a girl who has sense enough to make her own dresses
 Any time a girl snugg1es up close enough to a man so that he notices how fragrant her hair is he is a goner. The old fashioned man who worked his way through college lis. now work ing his sons way through college
 Never judge man by his clothes. Wait until you see how his wife is dressed.
 Maybe this country would be better off if we printed more spelling books and less sheet music.
 What does old Doe Stork care about eugenics? You may have noticed that the man with a face like a cement crusher who marries a woman whose map resembles an old saddle often has handsome children and that the pretty man who nlarries a beautiful woman often has children who are so homely that they scare the babies in the neigh borhood.

NIT. HOLYOKE STUDENTS
 HONOR FOUNDERS DAY

South Hadley, Mass. Nov. 9-stu- dents of Mount Holyoke College cele- brated Founders Day today and lis tened to an address by President Chas. F. Thwing, of Western Reserve Uni versfty on ''The Scholar in Poli- tics.'
 President Thwing said in part:
 "The scholar in politics has been the object of either suspicion or ridicule. The interpretation has not been alto gether unfair, for he has often come into politics only as a scholar. In one hand he has borne a Latin dictionary and in the other a candle. But the scholar has in recent years entered politics not as a scholar but as a thinker. As a thinker he has filled a great place, has borne a great re- sponsibiIity and has done great duties For a thinker he has seen not only in- dividual facts but what is far more important, he has been able to relate individual facts and as a consequence has been able to point out the path wherein the people should go.''

Benefits of a Lower Tariff.

Duties collected on import goods
in the St. Louis district were less by
1891, 101.07 in 1914 than they were
in 1918. The loss is due to a large
extent by reason of the foreign wars
but the reduction of the tariff also
played an important part in it. Any
loss due to the tariff will be made
up by the income tax, which places
the burden On those who can afford
it and takes it from those who can
not. The reduction in the tariff
has lowered the cost of necessities
and the imposition of the income
tax will not prove a burden to
those who have TO pay it. The war
and the consequent curtailment of
imports has delayed the proving
of the value of the reduction in the
tariff, also making necessary spec
ial revenue tax, but these matters
will be adjusted in time and the in
portance of the work of Demo-
cratic administration in making a
real downward revision of the tariff
will be made manifest. The re.
ceipts from the income tax will be
largely augmented this year over
last year and it is not probable
that the special revenue tax will
long be necessary.-Palmyra Spec

The Party Cannot Perish.

Any political organization with
less vitality than the Democratic
party would have long since passed
into political desuetude. No other
party could have survived the de
feats of the last half century. What
is the great underlying cause of
this remarkable vitality? Why
has it not passed on as did the old
Wing party, the Free Sellers, the
Barn Burners, the Know NOthings,
the Geren Backers, the Populists,
etc, unless it is that its foundations
are laid deep down in the solid
granite of the everlasting Rights of
Man, and cannot die until every
vestige of these rights are swept
away. And so parties may come
and organizations crumble into
dust, but so long as it retains the
Divine spark of Popular Sovereign
ty the Democratic party can not
perish.-Clinton County Democrat.
