KNOCKING THE KN0CKER

Knocking the Knocker" is an
other pastime which apparently
affords us much satisfaction, if
not amusement.
Every town has its knocker, and
just as sure as he gets out his ham
mer he finds the community maui
pounding away at him. 1t is a case
of the survival of the fittest, and
ofttimes the professional knocker is
the worse knocker of all.
Some knock from the love Of it,
others from habit, while a few, it
seems, knock from the pure GUS
sedness of it. In any case they
knock, and, likewise, they are
promptly knocked in return.
Knocking, forsooth, is a great
game, and everybody plays it these
days. We, in fact, are doing a lit
tie of it ourself.

DIVORCE IS SAD

It is painful to read the particu-
lars of the numerous divorce suits
that fill the columns of the daily
papers. Many of these sad events
are from good homes and the inter-
ested parties stand high in social
life, and not a few in church life,
This separation between husband
and wife is one of the sad scenes
in human existence. Many times
either would prefer death to this
unhappy parting. For years they
nave lived together and their lives
have blended into one. They have
learned by bitter experience, as the
years have gone by, that they are
not suited to one another and
finally, in moment of discord OF
passion, the silken cord has broken
and they separate forever. Let us
hope that in the world to come
when they can see things palmer
than they do in this life, they may
be united again, but there is a
probability that unhappy marriages
resulting from unsuited positions
will not result in union or happi-
ness in this world or the one to
come. "What God hath joined to-
gether let no man put asunder."

PRESIDENT STANDS PAT
ON THE SUFFRAGE PLANK

An Interpretation of the suffrage
plank of the Democratic platform
was sought from President Wilson
last week by Mrs. d. E. Hooker, of
Richmond, Va, acting as spokes-
man for the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage and the Vir-
ginia State Federation of Labor.
She left the White House with the
report that the President stated
the plank meant the question should
be decided by the states, not by
Federal action, and still held to his
refusal to urge the passage of the
Susan B. Anthony suffrage amend
ment to the constitution.
