THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

Cargo, y. ID. COurierNews.)
One of the essential factors in the
modern organization called a church
is the minister's wife. She never gets

dom gets the recognition that her
diligence and faithfuiness to duty en-
title her to, but few ministers would
be effective without the quiet and de-
voted woman whose conservation is
all her life to minister to the public
unobtrusively and to be obscured by
the more SLOWLY and brilliant public

Few ministers who have succeeded
in their arduous work could have done
so without a good wife. The some
what quaint father of the writer TO
interpret that scripture which says he
should be the husband OF one wife"
as meaning that every pastor ought to
be a married man. Usually the Ia
dies agree with that Interpretation,
and the unmarried minister finds an
embarrassed career until he remedies
that glaring defect-and then If he is
so reckless as to choose a helpmeet
from his own flock, he promptly
moves. After that her usefulness
really begins in earnest.
The minister's wife sees Hector
without his helmet all the time; and
her faith and love survive the i'm

whom the public and the congrega-
ton look up TO with reverence. When
other folks get tired OF one preacher

must stand by and hear those sermons

and do her best to hide the dehcien-
cies of her pastor husband and help
him along the way of public favor

Again we have it. simultaneously

legalized graft has always had OF do

The facts are these: Sec'y Daniels

exposing this combination Of private
interests which so long has held up
the government for private profits in
the construction Of ships armor plate
and munitions Of war Their big
profits have seemed 10 them almost
a vested right and the spectacle Of a
secretary Of the navy daring TO tell
the public truth about the matter is
an affront TO these powerful interests

a hatred which the layman can very
slightly comprehend.
Get him OUT" is the one thought
Of these powerful interests. Spread
reports to discredit him; fill the great
metropolitan newspapers with car
toons to belittle him. quote authority
against the possibility of government
manufacture and above all things,
continually fill the daily press with
rumors and authoritative reports
that Daniels is presently to resume
the editorship of his paper in North
