Changes of a Lifetime.
It took the Itomnn republic some uges
to pass from the simple poverty of Its
early dnys upon the seven hills to the
nse of Augustus, but the Anicrlcati re
public has made that change In ouu gen
eration. In the second decade of the nineteenth
century the lives of the American people
were severely simple and plain. Most of
the necessaries of life were raised on the
farm by the people living on It. Most nt
their trading was done by barter. The
country people scarcely ever not hi the
course of a year more than enough money
to pay their taxes. The fanners' houses
were ulmost destitute of furniture. Ex
cept a few school books and the family
Bible, there was no reading matter, ex
cept In favored neighborhoods whero two
or three families took a weekly newspa
per together. Malls were Infrequent and
postage was almost prohibitory. The era
of invention had not begun. Th only
means of cooking was the open tire and
the brick oven. Meat was roasted by
suspending from a cord attached to a
hook in the ceiling. It was with great
dlflkulty that fires were started or kept
going. Tools and food aud the labor of
men aud animals were freely borrowed
and lent. Farming tools were ruJo and
deficient. The poverty of farms In re
spect to tools made It Impossible for farm
ers to prosper except by cattle raising
and the cultivation of the small grains.
Heating stoves or furnaces wero un
known. Communication between ills
taut parts of the country was practically
non-existent and transportation was of
the crudest sort. Men were 'narrow and
bigoted. Civilization was stationary.
There was a prejudice against Innova
tion and change, a belief that all wisdom
was In the fathers.
Contrast this simple, narrow life with
the complex and broad life of the poorest
farmer of our times. Think of the tools
and horses, the machinery and the im
proved methods he has. Think of the
comforts and luxuries that are his. Think
how farming has been changed from
slavery to inspiring work. Then con
trast the picture of the past with the
general wealth, progress In education, dif
fusion of knowledge, opportunities and
hopefulness of our own times. Only the
beginnings of the great power nf the
people are so br seen. As a matter of
fact the tremendous changes wrought by
Improvement of communication and
transportation hare made It possible for
great free governments' tocxtst perma
nently. It Is now and ercr will be the fashion
to talk of the good old times, but In
America the old times arc riot to bo com
pared with ours. Our 'wealth has not
spoiled the nation, though It has ruined
some classes. At the core the nation Is
sounder now than formerly becauso It Is
wiser and better trained and equipped.

Editorials
tlon, when one comes to think of it, Is a
simple one. Women have for luuuin
crablo generations been engaged In work
which does not uduilt of vacations, while
man's work does. Heuco a public opin
ion has grown up In the one case which
does not exist In the other.
The typd of woman who U liable to
overwork Is conscientious. If she goes
away for an absolute rest of a mouth
or three months, or a year, she hears a
chorus of voices denouncing her ns Idle,
Incompetent or neglectful of duty. This
is especially the case It she be the mother
of a family. She never gets away from
the care bf that family, and she Is al
ways conscious of the fact that If any
thing happens In her absence Bho will be
condemned by a Jury of hor peeis for
having been away when It occurred, Tills
sort of thing takes nil tho rest out of a
vacation, and few people have the uerve
to disregard It.
This morbid conscientiousness, how
ever. Is not a thing to encourage. Tho
thltlg -which every human being should do
is to make sure, first, that he or she has
a fair amount of the work of thu world
to'do, and secoud, to stop when that share
Is done. If a rest Is necessary.
Of coure, most people who arc worth
anything hi life do more than their shnro
of work, but they should not break them
selves down In the process. Every sensi
ble person should find out how far It Is
possible to go, with safety to health and
usefulness, and stop there unless life and
death aro Involved. In that wuy
more will be accomplished for one's sulf
and for others than by continual over
work out of some notion of pride or duty
which is not rest conscientiousness at
all. New York News.
Tho Pros and Crime
Much has been said and written upon
the Idea that the press, by tho publication
of tho details of crime, incites to the
commission of other crimes. Becauso the
details of a sulcldo or a murder are some
times copied by other suicides or mur
derers there are those who gencrallxe
from that fact that a curb should be put
upon the press to restrain them from giv
ing the sensational Incident's of such tra
gedies. People who argue In that fashion to
such conclusions understand human na
ture Imperfectly. They who know most
of the psychology of the human animal
understand that there Is no rigid law-1 of
Imltatlrcness that will explain Incidental
replications of example. Tho futility ;of
appealing to any such law was evidenc
ed In tho cases of Cain and Abel, The
law docs not exist, else both those boys
would have been righteous Instead of but
tho one, nnd to-day wo would be rejoiced
by seeing only good boys nud good girls
In tho families of which tho parents dre
models of morality.
Humanity Is born croked twisted Into
a living interrogation point. It wants
to know all about things ns soon as It
finds out that there arc things. It Instinc
tively wants to put this nnd that together
aud get at the ends of things and that
Is why the baby tries to put his toes In
his mouth 1 That same inborn curiosity

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S OFFICIAL
YACHT, THE MAYFLOWER.
President Roosevelt's official yacht, the Mayflower, has been practically remado
and more than $50,000 bus beep spent on fitting up her Interior In a style that
rivnls the royal and Imperial yachts of European princcs'aud potentates. Not thu
Hohcnrollcrn Itself can outdo the prCKidenthil yarht In splendor, luxury aud
beauty of appointments, upbuUtery and decoration. The President's personal
opurtmentH, lu the aft of the iescl, are a dreum of princely beauty and comfort.
He has six statu rooms for his own use and for the use of his family. Silk hang
ings, soft carpets, thu most expensive of funey wood, fine mosaics, luxurious eny
chair and lounging sofas, glittering art bedsteads and other equipments of this
kind wait on tho presidential pleasure when he sees fit to take the sea air. Sim
ilarly with the culinary department. The kitchen aud dining room staff cnu
serve on short notice a feast fit for a kins. The Mayflower was formerly tho
property of Mrs. Ogden (loelet, It was purchased by the government at tho
time of the Spanish war aud had been lying lde since then, llecently the Presi
dent decided to have It fitted for his peixoual use, The presidential yacht has
a displacement of 2,(11)0 tons, U equipped with twin screws and has a borsu
power of 4,700. It is one of the fastest steam yachts afloat.
It consists of a threo cylinder pump,
mounted on n truck and driven by u
petroleum motor, In case of an emer
gency, tho pump Is ready at once, with
out loss of tlinu lu raising pressure with
a steam engine. Its ethcleucy Is assured
through thu numerous tests which have
been made particularly agalust tires in
highly Inflammable materials.
Cubn's 1'Iuk Is Old.
The flag of tho Cuban republic ante
dates the establishment of the republic
Itself by a good many years. It dates
back to nlmtu 1850, It has a Masonic
origin nnd hence tho triangle. Thej
red Held Is tho emblem of war. The,
purpose of tho movement here lu thb
United States was to conquer tho Isl
and. Southern people, fighting Ma
sons, were tho leaders. The three
stripes 'represented the three depart
ments Into which tho Island was then
divided. The white stripes wero put
In merely to divide tho blue. The star
which appears In the red Held was the
lone star of Texas, In New Orleans
there existed tho Association of the
accounts for the enormous growth "f
newspapers and gives Invincible support
to tho doctrine of the freedom of the
press.
One of the greatest laments of a read
ing civilisation Is that the world's his
tory begun before the printing press was
Invented nnd the reporter who interviews
got on the scene. How really satisfying
It would be even now to read the details
of the meeting between Satan and Eve,
a stenographic report of their conversa
tion nud graphic Interviews with Adam
after he got fired from the Garden of
Eden nnd with Noah ofter he ran
aground on Ararat!
Newspaper makers know human na
ture better than amateur moralists. They
do not find that news reports of crimes
breed crimes any more than news reports
of sermons breed conversions, or news
reports of gifts to charity set everybody
or many bodies crasy to make large dona
tions and get their names printed. Tho
real newspaper gives tho news tho sto
ries of the dally life of tho world-the
good, the' evil, the Svlse and the silly, be
cause the public want to know It all ahd
will be satisfied with nothing less, lhe
newspaper U printed for the nlnety-and-nine
that are wide awake, and not for
the one who yearns for tho millennial
agel Atlanta Constitution.
Playing with Moral Fire.
In various parts of tho country thcrs
has been an extraordinary number of
tragedies of late arising out of the adven
tures of unmarr!6d women with married
men. Morbid literature, chletly of for
clgn birth or extraction, has been pro
moting In this country the myth of pla
tonic affection between men and women,
married and single. Almost nvarlably
the prismatic Illusion Is actualUed in a
somber ending. If crime does not smirch
both tho parties or annihilate either tho
reputation of both suffer, and it is tho
unwritten low that the woman In such a
case snlTers beyond repair, while the guil
ty man escapes or endures with compla
cency the stigma which cannot be ef
faced from the future of his companion.
There Is no prudence In mincing words
about these escapades. A married man
or woman who seeks Intimate and con
stant companionship outside tho family
circle to which he or she belongs Is eith
er a libertine or a fool.
No plea of extenuation can bo set up
for tho moral laches of a mnrrbd man or
married woman. They know perfectly
well that they are playing with firo or
playing tho trapper of Inexperience. No
family of Intelligence or self-respect will
tolerate social attentions from n married
man to an unmarried woman when those
attentions transcend tho bounds of abso
lute decorum. Vet mothers who are am
bitious or avaricious will let their Inno
cent daughters pluy with this moral firo
with whose 'llamo nlno times hi ten th'jy
are bound to be burnt.
Many a blackened homo Is n grim
monument to the sataulc character Of the
myth of platoulc love between married
men and unmarried women and no less
often between married women nnd un
married men. Chicago Chronicle.
