REGULATING OTHERS.

The desire to have other people live
cording to our ideas seems to be in
herent in many of u.s.. No one can ex-
plain why we are not willing to let
other people live their lives as they
see fit, but so radical do some of US
become in regulating others that we
try to force them by law to live as VIC
think they sn> III live. 1t may be that
this is a suf.t al in us Of the cid pu.
ritanical idea thai each man is his
brothers ee.oS. l. is easy 10 see
what absurdities we would come to if
US would try to regulate his neigh
eors, conduct, and they. in turn,
would try to regulate ours according
to their ideas. The inevitable con-
eict would be productive of more evils
than we ordinarily tried to overcome.
No man is good enough, or SO certain |
in his virtue tsa We can force other
s,ea TO be l.a ha. The very fact |
that he does try 10 do SO shows that
he is like the Pharisee who prayed at
the front of the temple and called all
mne to witness he was god and just
man. To be self satisfied with our
own virtue is egotism-not virtue. To
try to force other people to be virtu-
Gus as we think we are virtuous, is
the height of egotism and pride, which
is one of the great sins. The rulers
who prosecuted the early Christians
were trying by law to force their be-
liefs on an unwilling body of men who
believed differently. The result was
the martyrdom Of thousands of good
men and women. Christ suffered and
died because he insisted on living his
life as he chose and not as the Jewish
rulers wished him to. The whole
Christian world has been built on
this determination. To try to enforce
by law is un-Christian, un-
and diametricallyy yppos-
ed to the principles of every great
teacher.

The Tyranny of Tears.

When dear old Washington Irving
wrote OF the sadness of tears he over
ooked the fact that there is TYRANNY
in tears that only woman knows how
to exercise.
They may be considered a marx Of
weakness in many. With woman,
they speak more eloquentIy than a
thousand tongues. Rightly consider.
ed tears are messengers of overwbelm.
ing grief. With a woman tears If
tyranny are messages of pa ssion. of
envy, of resentment, of emotions mn
controlled.
frequently they speak of deep con.
'ritlon' but more frequently they are
used Tor more potent motives.
Tears can be rightly considered in
the light of a safety valve of a wo.
mans heart. There must sometimes
DC an escape valve for her pent nm
eu"'iohs' Dut after all, while admit
ting the tyranny of woman's tears n
must be admitted that they are .also
the happiett smiles of her love.
Those tender tears that bumanize
are welcome tears. The tears of anpe,
are Cherries tears. A cold rain doe,
not encourage our flowers to grow and
bloom, neither do these tyranniea
tears OF anger cause our hearts to be.
come a warm abiding place for love.

less creatures they would be!
Men are strong in muscle and brain
but men wax weak when a woma,
weeps. The best and the bravest be
come but submissive subjects wher
woman brings into play her tyranny Q

The Commercial Appeal is doing
valiant work in exposing the rotten
ness Of the Crump machine in Mem
phis. No wonder lawlessness and
murder held such sway there when the
fountain-head of lawlessness is locat-
ed in the city hall. Crump is still the
political boss of Memphis and Shelby
county, but if the supreme court fails
to restore him to his place of power,
his prestige will soon be a thing of the
past.

The board of health of New York
Cityrecently issued a permit for the
use of horse flesh for human food.
Members of the board explained that
while they did not exactly recommend
such meat for food, they saw no harm
in its use by those who may choose to
eat it. It's easy to imagine what a
delectable morsel a outlet of aged,
spawned horse would be-that is, for
those who dote on such morsels.

sUB-NoRMAL MENTALITY.

There has been a gathering of psy-
biologists at Chicago, and they dis
cussed, among other things, the tests
for determining "subnormal mental.
ty in infants, having reference to a
certain case occurring in Chicago
that has caused much debate, says
the Nashville Banner,
DR.. Wallen of st. Louis, who was
present at the meeting, demonstrated
capacity to couple common sense
with scientific knowledge, and in the
talk he made showed the danger and
fallacy Of relying on arbitrary stand
ards in respect to the complicated
and delicate human organism. 1t was
shown that persons who succeeded in
life, lived useful and moral lives and
produced bright children, would have
fallen under this test had it been APP
piled to them.
1t is all right to kill the deformed
pigs and calves, when the object is to
produce pork and beef. Science may
be sure Of its ground in establishing
a standard like that, but the human
intellect and that something even
more important than intellect that
makes character, are a quality too fine
to be dealt with by fixed measure

mines these things; law is universal;

and weights,
Science is not to Be discredited or
discounted. It has performed wonders,
and much awaits the revelations of
its persistent and enlightened research
but true science must be sure Of its
ground.
At any rate, it is too cold-blooded a
proposition to attempt to improve the
human species by the slaughter, OF
even the neglect Of the innocents. Men
and women of superb physiques, and
even those Of brilliant minds, have LED
evil lives and proved a plague to So

General Count Helmuth Won Moltke
Chief Of the Supplementary General

Gording to kilograms received here.
Won Moltke died during a Rcichstae
session held in memory of the late
Field Marshal Won Der Goltz. who died
of spotted fever when fighting on the

orable triumph in the Franco-Prus-
sian war of 1870.

was made a General, three years later
a Lieutenant-G General and in 1902 was
appointed Chief of the General Staff

be unfounded, but in December of that
year he retired from the post, his fail

return to the front.
He was succeeded by the present
