one can we'll believe him for
most people have observed that
little things, apparently Of no
importance at all, often bring
about events Of the greatest mo-
ment.
"A pig caused the election of
Andrew Jackson to the presi-
dency," said Mr.. Cummings in
Washington the other day in dis
cussing this theory. "A Rhode
Island farmer who was on his
way to vote for a member of the
state legislature heard one of his
pigs squeal. Going back, he found
that one of the porkers had got
caught in the gate. 1t took him
several minutes to free the AM
NAL and when he finally got to
the polling place he found it
closed and so was unable to cast
his ballot.
The candidate for the legisla-
ture for whom the farmer meant
to vote was defeated by just one
vote which of course was lacking
because the farmers pig got fast
in the gate. The man who was
elected to the legislature voted
| for a certain candidate for u. S
senator and this man was elected
by one vote. Afterward this sen,
ator was called on to vote on the
question of declaring war on
Great Britain and the PROPOSE.
ton carried by just one vote.
One of the battles of the war
with Great Britain that ensueo
is known to historians as the bat,
tie of New Orleans. Everyone
knows that the hero of this battle
was Andrew Jackson. His vic
tory over the British there made
him quite a popular man anc
this eventually led to his elcc
ton to the presidency. In thi:
chain of events the logical de
duction is that but for the pig
that got caught in the gatewa,
up in Rhode Island Andrew Jack
son never would have become the
president of the United States.

"A memorial to congress asking
for the direct election OF presl-
dent has been introduced in the
House of Representatives OF
Utah. The Lawmakers Of this
state appear to be keeping up
with the times and we see no
reason why the president of the
United States should not be
elected by a direct vote Of the
people. Representatives OF
Michigan at the national seat of
government are protesting
against the large representation
which southern states have in
the electoral college, and in con
gress, compared with the mum
Der of legal voters. Southern
representation is based on legal
and disfranchised voters alike,
giving the people of the South a
greater voice in national govern
ment than those of the North,
Something should be done to
rectify this, and equal represen.
tation given. Direct election OF
president would solve it as far
as presidential election is con.
cerned, but then in the National
House Of Represe ii v es
changes should be made SO that
all sections of the country secure
equal representation, according
to the number of voters. The
old and original law of two sena
tors from each state will proba
bly, remain for many moons.

TWO CHURCHES AT SAND
STONE UNITE

The union services held in the
opera house last Sunday were a
decided success. A large congre-
CATION attended both in the
morning and evening. Rev. Les
her took charge Of both services
and presided when the matter Of
a Union Congregational church
was fully discussed. He explain
ed what steps would be necessary
for both disorganized churches to
take, what the Congregational
governing board would be pre-
pared to do with both properties
and the simple profession of
faith among organized Congrega-
tionalists.
At showing of hands, 81 of
those present announced thelr
intention of joining the Union
church, and it was obvious that
as many more were Of the same
mind, but were not inclined tC
express themselves.
This practically insures the
new organization, and arrange
ments were made to conduct
union services every week unit
the definite organization is com
pleted.-Pine county Courier.

The house at Washington has
killed the Randall amendment to
the postolfice appropriation bill,
which would have denied the use
of the mails for liquor advertis-
ing. The measure was con-
demned in public intelligence be-
cause it would not harm the ones
against whom it was professedly
directed~~the brewer; because it
assailed the freedom of the press
which is the freedom of the peo-
pie. While the American has
never carried liquor advertising
and perhaps never will, we think
it proper that the amendment
was voted down. Freedom of
the press is something which is,
and should be appreciated by all
citizens. Let the newspapers
rise above questionable adv'rtis-
ing, if they consider it such. The
publisher who is publishing a
good and influential newspaper
will take care of that end. It he
does not he will only be singing
his own newspaper funeral song

WHAT is YOUR WIFE WORTH?
Wisconsin Professor Has Tried 90
Estimate Uxorlai Value in
Dollars and Cents.

A Wisconsin professor of home eco
Monies has made an exact estimate
OF what a wife is worth to her hus-
band in dollars and cents, says the
Indianapolis Star. 1t is asserted that
she should be credited with earning
the difference between the cost of raw
material and the finished product that
she turns out.
Just what this is he can learn by
estimating food items; for example.
by noting the difference between the
cost of barrel Of -four and the cost
Of bakers leaves made from the con-
tents Of such barfsl. A more direct
method, however, is by hiring a house
keeper TO do the cooking and dress
making AID other labors performed
by the wife. Unfortunately this is
seldom done until the wife has gone
to heaven, so that she fails to bene-
fit By the husbands discovery.
There is reason TO believe, however,
that no wife VINO holds herself in
duo respect viii accept this so-called
scientific estimate of her value TO the
family. She knows very well that she
is worth more in actual money than
the difference between the raw mate
rails and the finished products and
that IL she were paid what she really
earns, her compensation would include
that of teacher, nurse. seamstress
laundress, cook, housemaid and gen
eral utility person.
OF course. few husbands can afford
to put the services of their wives on
this purely commercial basis, and un.
fortunately, few wives have any
thought of demanding it. The most Of
them, there is reason TO believe, are
entirely satisfied when they are sure
that their husbands like him of whom
Solomon wrote, value them far above
rubies-so far that no thought OF
gross commercialism Is involved.

Great Divide" But no one mar
seemed 10 grasp the whole spirit and
genius of America until David Wark
Griffith picked suggestion for his
theme out of Dixon's THE Loop
ards Spots and THE C1ansmant'
and started to develop it.
A remarkable thing about MIR
Griffith's plan is that words texeept
for leaders aud titles1 did not enter
into Il. Perhaps words had eramp-
ed rather than aided previous fic-
tionists and dramatists At any
rate. he replaced speech with music,
and the eld-fashioned stage action
and scenery by the picturalized ae-
ton OF thousands of players in the
great out-of-doors. In brief, he
staged the great battles. struggles
and critical events OF 18G1-70 under
natural conditions as nearly as pos
sible similar to the original,
The result of Mr.. Grffith's efforts
is a new and. stupendous art for
which no adequate name has YET
been found. The Birth OF Ma
tion" combines spectacle, romance,
domestic drama. comedy, tragedy
music, and mechanical effects into
a harmonious ensemble that capti-
Yates the eye aud the ear. In pre-
sentation lasting TWO hours and 45
minutes 1t epitomizes the life of a
nation This is something the old art
could never do The obsolete So
called stage unties@ are thrown to
the winds, and Griffith carries the
magnificent story from the introduce
ton OF African slavery right down
through civil war and reconstruction
days to the final real union of south
and north in the bonds OF love and
peace.
