We are not sure that we know
where to draw the line between the
living and the dead. We have been
told about things that are "as dead
as a d%oor-nail," but now come men
who say to us that in that sense the
door-nail is not dead; that nothing
is dead that has not lived. They say
that death can only be predicated OF
something that has had life. n
renee may still have the potency OF
life. They say that thus death Is a
phase, and so far as they can dis
cover, a Anal phase, of life; but that
1t belongs to life and not to things
that have never lived.
But even so they are not sure that
the door-nail is wholly non-living.
They have found 1t difficult to deter
mine where the laws begin to oper-
ate which in the higher spheres we
know as within the realm of life.
The atom, which was only ycster-
day supposed to be indivisible and
inert mass takes on new dignity as
the home of two forms of energy. a
positive kind and a negative kind:
and all the problems of the universe
seem to be inherent in ii.
Tennyson was sure that If he could
know all that was in the life-story of
the Flower in the crannied WALL he

THE GOVERNOR ADMITS DEFEAT.

It must have been somewhat CALLING for Gov
ernor Edwards to have to sign that repeal OF
the 81 per cent. beer bill which was passed
with so much defiance last year. 1t is the ad-
mission Of an ignominious defeat New Jersey is
not going to be as wet as the Atlantic ocean
after all.
Now, in order that New Jersey may hold her
rightful place among the sisterhood of states let
the legislature ratify the eighteenth amendment
as forty-fve other states have done, and pass an
enforcement act concuring with the federal
government in the enforcement of the same.
There is no question about prohibition having
come to stay and the sooner New Jersey. along
with all the other states. joins in making 1t
effective the sooner will all this lawlessness that
is so repulsive to decent people be ended.

O. What is the difference be-

A. There is no actual difference

velop into a Sensible Woman. But she will.
A smart wife can handle her husband in such
a way that she'll make the poor boob imagine
that he is the Boss.
Modesty demands that a woman wear clothes.
Fashion demands that the clothes be Immodest.
And there you are.
What has become of the Old Fashioned Ger
man who called you a "lumf' when he got
mad?
Somehow or other, a man can't have a Good
Time unless he is being separated from his
money.
Maybe the reason why a show has to have an
Angel is because every stage has wings and
flies.
Why do authors imagine that detective stories
and stories OF adventure have to have a love
yarn stringing through them to make them tire
some?
Anyway, a short man doesn't owe as much as
a tall man when both are up to their ears In
debt.
A lot of men devote all of their Charity to
telling how they would give away other peoples
money IL they had it.
1t doesn't take some people long to sink Out

A good wife isn't one who tells her husband
