It looks very much as if spring
meant business at last.
Some women buy gowns like
England does battleships; get two
new ones every time a neighbor
buys one.
Girls who let every Tom, Dick
and Harry paw them and slobber
over them every time the oppor
tunity is presented should not be
surprised after while to learn that
their days as “bargains” are over.
The marrying sort^ of a fellow
wants something that is not shop
worn and soiled.
THE WAGES OF SIN.
The wife of the New York mil
lionaire who left her husband and
magnificent home and ran away
with a young plumber to whom she
married several months ago, after
her millionaire husband gave her
a divorce, said just before she and
her plumber husband committed
suicide that the wages of sin were
worse than death—they were hell.
She further declared that com
pliance with laws, both statutory
and moral and the rules of conven
tion and society, was the only
source of happiness and content
ment. Down through the ages
since Eve transgressed the law
thef^has been ringing throughout
the world the appeal to mankind to
live right, says the Beaumont En
terprise. Every human wreck
cast upon the rocks of immorality
and licentiousness points the pitiful
story of a frail human being who
ran counter to the world's currents
and without heed or compass or
chart, steered life's bark along a
course of least resistance and
obeyed only the false star of grati
fication and apetite. The verdict
never varies. It holds ss true as
the magnetic needle to the pole
that transgression of law and
respectability leads to disaster.
You may tramp up and down the
world from one side to another and
speak to every human being who
passes and you will not find one
who has tasted the bitterness of
transgression who will tell you that
the way of the transgressor is
pleasant. There never lived a man
or woman who found satisfaction
and contentment and happiness in
a life which departed from truth
and honesty and respectability.
Our moral laws and the restraints
which social laws throw about the
conduct of man are not arbitrarily
made. They are the conclusion of
centuries of experience and suffer
ing; they are the inexorable princi
ples of life, based upon the divine
purpose, and they merely point
mankind to the sort of life which
will bring the greatest happiness,
the sweetest contentment and the
fullest realization of the joys of an
earthly existence.
To say that right is wrong and
that laws may be trampled under
foot is to upset the world and dis
arrange the purpose of Cod. whose
infinite wisdom carries back until
time was not and extends through
out eternity. Even though we had
not a single example of the fruit
lessness and bitterness of sin, our
reasoning ought to teach us that
order and system and adherence
and obedience to laws is the only
course which can lead to peace and
happiness.
I In the Interest j
i of Truth i
t i
His wife having been called to the
telephone, Ryder heard her say: “Hel
lo! Ves. Oh, hello. Marion. What
did you say? I am awfully sorry, Mar
ion, because I'd like to ever so much,
but Walter and I are going out this
evening. You know you would be per
fectly welcome to it if 1 wasn’t going
to wear it myself. Good-by.”
‘Td like to know where you and I
are going this evening,” said Ryder
when his wife had hung up the tele
phone receiver.
“I don’t know that we are going
anywhere," said his wife, “but I’m just
not going to lend Marion Marsh my
beautiful white hat. She is so care
less with everything she wears, and,
besides, I think she has a lot of as
surance to try to borrow that hat
when the weather is so threatening.”
"Well, then,” growled Ryder, "why
didn’t you tell her the truth? The
way you women hand sugared false
hoods to each other is a fright. Hon
esty is always the best policy, and,
anyway, it’s ever so much simpler.
You’d never find a man lying or beat
ing about the bush in a case of that
kind. He’d just give the other fellow
to understand that he did as he
pleased with his own things.”
“Far be it from me to undermine
masculine honesty,” said his wife,
"but that sort of treatment Just
wouldn't do with women. So be good
enough to let me tell my taradiddles
In order to keep myself popular.”
Ryder grinned. "All right,” said
ne. xjui aon i overao it. now, this
Is the first Saturday afternoon I've
had to myself In six weeks and I’m
going down to the basement and fin
ish those book shelves. Remember,
my dear, that if anybody calls to see
me I'm not at home.”
Mrs. Ryder smiled in her turn. "Am
I to tell your falsehoods as well as my
own?” she asked.
But Ryder did not hear.
Ten minutes later she went to the
head of the basement stairs and called
down, "You’re wanted at the phone,
Walter.”
Soon she was listening to this con
versation: "I'm awfully sorry, cfid
man, but the fact Is that I am suffer
ing from a sort of grippy cold and I
don’t think I’d better make that trip
with you today. Some other time I’ll
be glad to go out there with you.”
"Why, Walter, I had no Idea that
you were threatened with the grip,”
said Mrs. Ryder sweetly as Ryder
started back to the basement.
"Oh, I’m not, seriously,” said Ryder
rather sheepishly, "but, you see, I had
promised Hughes to go out with him
to look at a lot which he thinks of
buying. It's somewhere out in May
wood and It would take the whole aft
ernoon to make the journey and I’m
going to finish those shelves today or
break a leg."
The merry sounds that rose present
ly from Ryder’s workshop Indicated a
clear conscience and good progress.
However, it was not very long before
he was called to the telephone again.
This time Mrs. Ryder was regaled
with the following:
“I’m sorry, George, but I had an ac
cident—broke the handle of my plane
the other day and I haven't had time
to go around to the store and get a
new one. It’s a shame that I can’t
help you out. 1 hope you'll be able to
manage somehow.”
"Why, Walter, have you broken your
beautiful new plane?” asked Mrs.
Ryder, with exaggerated solicitude.
"No I haven’t,” said Ryder shortly,
“but surely you wouldn’t expect me to
lend that fellow Burkins an expensive
tool, would you? He's as clumsy as
an ox. Why. he’d be as likely to
plane nails with it as not. Still, he’d
be sore if I refused him. I was a
chump to show my plane to him the
other evening when he was down
there looking over my work bench.”
"Oh. that's all right,” said Mrs. Ry
der. demurely, "but 1 thought you men
studiously refrained from prevarica
tion In all your dealings with one an
other.'
"Well, I guess you've got me,” said
Ryder. "And as one prevaricator Is
about all any well regulated family
can stand I'll do the proper thing and
save you from telling what isn't so.
Now, if you'll manage to arrange an
I early dinner I'll give you a chance to
! wear that white hat, for we’ll go down
| town and spend the evening at the
: theater.”
The Gold Crop.
I According to the best estimates at j
i hand, the gold crop of the world for
‘the year 1910 was $45-1,000,000, which
is equal to that of 1909. The output
of the latter year was the greatest In
the history of the world. Of the
gold produced, more than two
thirds Is either coined or piled away In
vaults for coinage purposes. Thus we
are adding a billion dollars in every
three-year period to the world's stock
of gold coin. There is one of the
reasons why Iowa land is not going to
decrease in price.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Thomas Edison has adopt
ed the views of some of the leading
English scientists, who hold that mat
trr is one. and that the transmution of
metals and minerals is by no means
Impossible and may be effected al
most any day. Edison pictures great !
corporations redeeming their obliga
tions, which were made payable In
gold, with stuff that can be turned
out at the rate of about per ton. i
Either way, there will be vast prob
lems left for coming generations, and
there will be hard nuts for the wisest
of the wise to try their teeth upon. |
WEST STRONG
Rank and File of the Party ir
That Great Section Recog
nize His Worth.
HAS REDEEMED HIS PLEDGES
His Actions as Chief Executive o'
the State of New Jersey Show
His Political Ability and In
tegrity—Loyal to People.
BY CHARLES G. HEIFNER,
Chairman of Democratic State Con*
mittee of Washington.
I know pretty accurately the sent!
ment of the rank and file of the dem
ocrata of the West They are strong
ly In favor of Woodrow Wilson foi
our Presidential nominee next year. ]
feel sure that this statement will hole
good in every state west of the Mis
sissippi River. 1 recently spent some
time in the east on business thai
brought me in touch with a numbei
of influential business men. Inci
dentally I have had occasion to dis
cuss political conditions with these
men and I am glad to say that, regard
less of past party affiliations, 1 find
them strongly in favor of Governoi
Wilson. It is not difficult to ascer
tain the cause of this faith and trusi
and confidence on the part of farm
ers, wage workers and business mer
»*4 ^/v/1 I 11V/L41 UUilll/ UiiU
of Woodrow Wilson. He kept the
faith. A year ago while a candidate
for Governor of New Jersey he mads
certain pledges and promises to the
people of that trust ridden state. The
people took him at his word and elect
ed hlrr^ the first democrat to be
elected Governor in that state in six
teen years, and to the gratifying
amazement of all honest men and tc
the utter consternation of the politica
tricksters he and his loyal support
ers In the legislature proceeded to en
act laws and carry out plans in ex
act conformity with his pledged wore
to the people. Among the plain peo
pie everywhere he has come to be re
garded as a man w’hose performances
square with his promises. Just suet
a man is imperatively needed as the
chief executive of the United States
Having demonstrated his practical ca
paclty to accomplish things In his
own state, though one branch of the
legislature was of opposite politica]
faith, It is not surprising that there
Is such an overwhelming demand foi
his elevation to the White House.
All Favor Wilson.
I believe the State of Washingtor
will send a delegation to the nexl
Democratic National Convention fa
vorable to Governor Wilson for oui
presidential candidate, and I might
say further that I believe he is the
only democrat who can get the elec
toral vote of that state, and other
Western States. We democrats out
there are not unmindful of the merit
ed consideration which other great
democrats are receiving at the hands
of their fellow citizens throughout
the country, but we believe Governor
Wilson, more nearly than any other
avowed candidate, typifies in his rec
ord and his personality, those quail
ties and characteristics which the
average American is proud to see ex
emplifled In the President of his
country*. Hence, his popularity ir
the East, the West, the North and the
South. His record as a scholar, ar
educator, an historian and as stu
dent and writer on social and eco
nomlc subjects all combine to equlf
him to be Just what he is today—a fin
lshed orator, a great statesman anc
our logical leader In solving the great
Industrial and financial questions
which now disturb the business world
and which the republican party has
proved Itself Incapable either to un
derstand or to solve. Governor Wil
son Is progressive In that he Is nol
wedded to the mildewed past or tc
precedent to such ^n extent as tc
make him timid and afraid to meet the
demands of the present hour. I am
for him because he stands for genuine
representative government—the act
ual rule of the people after careful
consideration of all governmental
matters coming before them. He
would free trade and commerce oi
the imposts and handicaps with which
they are now burdened. He would
place on the statute books a law reg
ulating inter-state commerce so clear,
so concise, so just and so definite that
all men and r.U corporations would not
be left In doubt as to whether they
were complying with or violating the
law. He would thus place our indus
trial affairs upon a solid and legiti
mate foundation, freed from uncer
tainty and distrust.
In his record as Governor of New
Jersey he has literally lived up to and
exemplified In his every act the
time honored tenet of democracy:
“Equal rights for all, special privileges
to none.”
He will bring to the discharge of his
duties as chief magistrate of the na
tion, the right scholarship of a Ban
croft, a Lowell and a Hawlhorne, all
of whom held political office: he will
have had the experience that comes
from practical administration and
executive responsibilities, and is
every respect he will worthily rank
with those other great leaders ol
democracy whose achievements make
brighter and more glorious the pages
of American history. These are some
of the reasons why I am for him and
Why the American people are for him.
