Permit Resistance.

Efforts OF the traffic Office to issue
new automobile operators permits to
every Washington driver in accord
ance with congressional dictum, which
provides that the director is to have

until .Twly 3. 1897. are meeting with
&tsmal results. Up to the present time
not more than fifty thousand Of the
estimated two hundred thousand mo-
torists have applied for and been
granted the new three-year permits.
Besides this. there have been many
complaints from the local drivers on
being hurried into" their new per.
Ynits, and the Commissioners have so
far refused to put teeth in the traffic
directors request for an even stream
of permit application.
The situation Is briefly as follows:
Congress, because of the mix.up in the
original traffic bill. gave the traffic Of
Nce @ years grace to issue the new
permits: the traffic Office has too small

in q short time; it must be spread over

Unsalaried Wives.

State asking IL a wife did not have a
legal right to a regular allowance.
The governor referred the Quess.;a': to
the attorney general. who ruled:
There Is no law which compels q
husband to pay a salary to his wife
.oc housework or to make payments
20 her at regular intervals for any
purpose" The inquiring wife. in her
letter, cited the fact that her neigh
bor's hired girl might receive a salary
Of $50 a month. with room and board

attorney general. on this point. ruled
that there is in law little basis for
comparison between the housewife
and the housemaid, inasmuch as the
latter may be dismissed at any time.
while ''the marriage relation, with its
corresponding obligations, cannot be

The Minnesota attorney general
does not stop with this. but goes on
10 point out that the law docs i'm
pose upon a husband the obligation
to support his wife in a manner suit
able to their station in life, and this
always includes consideration of his
income" In other words, marriage
entails an obligation on the husband
to provide his wife not merely with
necessities. but. with means for such
luxuries as he can afford for himself.

for non-support often turn upon the
refusal or failure of the husband to

THE PASSION FOR LIFE.
EcclestGstes, iii.1I-"He has set
,ternftn in their hearts"

EcclestGsteS, iU1I-"He has set
eternity in their hearts"
The passion for life transcends all
others.
,Tis life whereaf our souls are scant.
More life and fuller that we want.
We are ever reaching out from our
todays into our tomorrows. We sat
isfy for some brief hour our whims
and appetites, only to experience a
new longing and greater hunger.
To every normal man or woman there
come times when, peering down into
the future, they ask the age-old ques
ton. If man die. shall he live
again" Every now and again some
outstanding spokesman arises to give
new zest to this mighty query.
Recently the great wizard, Thomas
Edison, gave expression to his views
concerning this burning theme. in
which he declared his belief in the
immortality of man. 1t was the later
conviction of one who, positively be-
yond any other, has contributed to
the wealth and satisfaction Of life.
Reaching up into the unknown flu
ture, he gave expression to the deeper
yearnings Of his. heart. Simultane-
ously, Sir Oliver Lodge, one of the
. N~SNsoS VI "oI III SClSIlLlSIS, uSCldIcu.
Il may say that my views have crys-
talliZed into conviction on two definite
principles: First, that human sur
vival Is fact; second, that death is
only an episode in a continuous ex-
iStence"
More and more men are turning
their thoughts, as they have ever done,
to this greatest Of all themes. More
and more they are coming to realize
that this life is but preliminary to a
life that knows no ending. However
hippantly at times we may treat this
absorbing subject. in more reflective
hours, and more particularly in times
of great suffering and grief, we give
ourselves to it's consideration.
The ancient writer of Ecclesia stes
maintained that God has set eternity
In our hearts" To his mind, God has
implanted in every human heart the
passion for that which is attainable.
That. "out Of the heart are the issues
of life" and that somewhere, some
how, these issues must find their
larger satisfaction, was his profound
conviction. If this conception of tn

Bishop of Washington.

larger life, which inheres in every
breast, is an incentive to its fulfill
ment, it is reasonable to suppose that
what we are here determines in some
wise what we shall be there. In youth,
through means of training and educa-
ton, we fit ourselves for the tasks or
professions to which we are accredited.
In fine, what we would be Is largely
determined by the way in which we
make ready for it. If this analogy
holds true, it is but reasonable to be-
lieve that, viewing the life that Is
to be in the light of the life that is.
we should, with painstaking care, fit
ourselves for the highest fulfillment
Of our hopes and aspirations. If we
hold that God has set eternity in our
hearts, and if out of this deeper feel
ing we believe that today is but the
vestibule of tomorrow, then logically
we must fit ourselves for that which
our inmcst nature demands.
A great secular writer declares that
ut would seem that God has ever
planted man with his face toward
Himself. and whispered to him the
secret of his destination. The germ
Of the idea of God and the idea of
Immortality comes direct from one
who knows. There can be no success
full argument with that authority" !"
Upon this assumption he declares,
God is assuredly, and there is life
beyond the grave" With this thesis
he maintains, we are moving on to-
ward our highest fulfillment. If the
heart is the repository of our affec-
tions, we may also believe that it is
the repository of our hopes and as
pirations. No matter how the years
may deplete our strength or take
from us the enthusiasm of youth or
the Zest for work, we still feel the
quickening of our emotions as we
contemplate the possibilities Of the
larger life, toward which we are has
tening on. Surely, God has set
eternity in our hearts" Christ's ap-
peal was directed to the human heart.
He reasoned little, and argued not at
all with men. He made His appeal to
the finer qualities of mans nature.
His was the method of the mother,
winsome, fascinating and compelling.
He literally wooed the world away
from old concepts Of life, stimulated 1t

higher ideals and inspired it with a

for operating their automobiles with.
out permits.
1t Is purely for the welfare of the
large BODY Motorists that the traffic
office Is making the elaborate attempt
to complete the job well within the
allotted time. The office is not ca
pable of handling so large an order
IN a short period. and Congress has
refused to make it capable by addi-
tional appropriations. With a small
force and the most efficient means
available 1t must, therefore. spread out
the applications over a long period
and do the Job to the best Of it's
ability.
It is just as easy for the motorist
to apply now, in an orderly way. for
his new permit as it will be later on.
In fact, II he waits too long, there
may be such congestion that when
July 8 arrives he will be one of the
outcasts, a driver without a permit,
and subject to the heavy penalties
that the law inflicts for violations of
this kind.
Each application should be properly
filed out with the number of the old
permit in it's allotted place. When
this number is missing it makes ad-
ditional work for the traffic Office and
delays the issuance. Applications can
be procured with the greatest ease,
and no conscientious motorist should
fail to cooperate with the traffic ad-
ministration.
There is no better way to reduce
the death toll and eliminate the reck-
less driver than to cooperate with the
traffic authorities in their serious task
Of reissuance Of permits, because In
this very labor lies the elimination of
the hit-and-runner, the smoke-screener
and the killer.

This and That
By Charles E. TraceWeH.

We had a most absurd dream about
our friend Jack Spratt the other
night.
Jack, as previously detailed in this
column, has been stalking mouse In
the walls, one that does a great deal
of scurrying around in the Dashboard
In our dream Jack was sitting at
the possible point of entrance of the
rodent into the room, when 10 and be
hold, it gnawed his way through!
This so excited us that. with the
natural failing of mankind, we had
the idea that unless we assisted the
cat in catching the mouse the in
truder would escape.
So we engaged.in a great powwow
helping Spratt chase the mouse hith
er and yon. throwing books at It, cor
nering it here, allowing it to escape
there.
All the while Jack Spratt was dart
ing under chairs and tables in the
most capable fashion. and would sure
ly have caught the mouse had we not
insisted on assisting" him.
Finally Jack sat down in the mid
die of the floor, with a very Indignant
look on his face. his eyes very large
and round.
"Say," he said, suddenly, chow dc
NOu cADcCI IIlc W CdICil Il IIlOuSt Will
you making all this nOise?"
1t Is needless to say that this re
monstrance upon the part of Jacl
Spratt speedily brought us to oul
senses. and Jack was allowed to finisf
the creature in the approved cat fash
ion.
What a happy thing it would be il
our cats could really talk
Any one who likes the cat Is con
vinced that this creature knows 6
great deal more, and could tell it ir
more entertaining fashion, than any
other animal.
Dogs, for instance, would be able tC
talk only about sports. Their run:
through fields. how many birds they
pointed, the state of the weather, how
many miles they had covered since
breakfast and similar topics would be
| the gist of their conversation.
An English bulldog, for instance
probably would talk of nothing but
! himself, while a peke, no doubt, woult
confine her conversation entirely tC
the subject of the bright ribbon around
| her neck.
Horses, one is convinced, would have
wider views, but even they would
prove boresome If they could talk. II
| well bred, no doubt they would speak
| too much of their ancestors.
Amiable cows could have no other
; topic than their milk and calves
, Chickens would be interested in the
| corn and worm market. and pigs In
the various swell mud puddles they
| had stopped at.
Only the cat, of all the creatures
| would view life whole, see it with the
/ eye Of a philosopher and gentleman
and be able to put into excellent Eng
| lish what he saw and felt.

AS the champion roamer in civiliza
ton, with exalted ideas Of personal
| freedom and liberty, and yet with the
| most delicate appreciation OF home
and its comforts, the house cat would
unite the charm of the traveller to the
| wholesome interest of the home lover
Upon any topic which he essayed

There are no more "uncles" in the
Congress. The death of Uncle" Joe
Cannon makes one realize that the
day of really intimate personalities in
both House and Senate seems to be
at an end. Time was not SO long ago
when there were three we'll known
uncles in the House Of Representa-
tiveS alone. Uncle" Joe Cannon was
the best known. of course. but
Uncle" Pete Hepburn of Iowa and
Uncle" Joe Fordney of Michigan
were national figures in their own
of the Record.
Somehow or other the title of uncle
would not seem to fit any of the pres
ent members of the House, even the
old ones like Henry Allen Cooper of
Wisconsin, who first came to Wash.
ington 33 years ago. The gentleman
from the Badger State has had long
and honorable career in the House,
but he has been perhaps a bit aloof
perhaps bit too austere for any one
ever to approach him with an affec
non was Just plain Uncle Joe" to
everybody, and even when he was In
the chair. with cZarlike gavel held
in that active left hand of his, it was
difficult for the members to address
him as mfr. Speaker"
Perhaps Mr. Butler of Pennsyl
vania, who came to the House 29
years ago, Is more nearly entitled to
be called "Uncle" Tom than any OF
his colleagues. Certainly one would
not think of addressing the intellec-
tual Mr.. Burton Of Ohio as Uncle
Theodore, nor would one approach
I. - n
Uncle Ike"
Of course. the House Is not entire
ly bereft of personalities in these
piping days of materialism. There is
the present Speaker, for instance,
who is known to every one as Nick
and may yet find that affectionate
diminutive putting him on the road to
the White House. Few Presidents
ever have had diminutives. Mr.. Roose
welt was an exception. He was known
far and wide as Teddy" but Bill
never suited Mr.. Taft any more than
woody" applied to Mr.. Wilson. TIC
his intimates Warren Harding was
either known as Senator or as Cover
nor even after he went to the White
House. Some people insist on calling
Mr.. Coolidge Cal" but the President
does mot respond to that intimacy
with the warm grin Col. Roosevelt
used to wear when he heard the fa'
miliar call of Teddy" coming from
the crowd.
In the House, too. there are Gov. y
Albert Johnson of Washington, the
we'll known Western statesman, and
Light Horse Harry" Hawes of Mis-
souri,, who is being elevated at once
to the Senate. There is also that
grand vintner and brewer, Represent
ative John Philip Hill of Maryland.
who, in trying for the Senate, has
lost his place in the House.
The House membership. as whole
however, is pretty much submerged
Even the oldest attendants in the
press gallery sometimes are startled
as they look over the list of members
and realize how few actually take a
prominent part in the big body of 435
representatives of the people.

Dear Teacher!
Dear Teacher! Why did you mislead
My early studies thus?
You told me it was wrong, indeed,
To make bad puns or cuss.
Why did you keep me after school
In penitence sedate
Because l drew, against the rule,
Bum pictures on my slate?
Dear Teacher! Still plod along
And strive to be polite,
The plaintive pun is going strong
Where ads the experts write;
Pictorial crudities have held
A charm quite sure to please.
Dear Teacher! Why was compelled
To learn my A B C's?
