LOVE RULES THE COURT, CAMP AND WORLD
,BY REV. E. J. HARDY, AUTHOR OF "HOW TO BE HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED"
(This is the first of a series of eight articles
written by Mr. Hardy for The Sunday Orego
nlan. Ono article will appear each week till
June 21.)
LOVE rules without swords and binds
without cords. We talk of the power
exercised by the Sultan of Turkey or
the Emperor of China, but what Is It
compared to the sway which love holds
in court, in camp, and in the world gen
erally? Love "raises tho lowly and hum
bles the great." History records "many
examples of King Cophetuas marrying
beggar maids and ruling according to the
wishes of their wives.
Almost every war which has been waged
in the world, since the one for Helen of
Troy, has "been directly or Indirectly
caused by women. If this be too much to
say It Is at least certain that women
could have prevented these wars from
taking place. If they all had united In
refusing to give their love to soldiers and
other fighting men, and there were no
blacklegs amongst them, there would have
been no wars. It Is a fact, however, that
in the Middle Ages the bright eyes of
women rained influence and adjudged the
prizes of tournaments, and that even in
this 20th century of Christianity, women
get scarlet-and-khaki fever, and dote upon
the military. Is it any wonder that wars
do not cease? So great Is the power of
love that a woman who loves and Is
loved can make a man and his life take
almost any shape she likes. "Bcliove me."
says Ruskin, addressing girls, "the. whole
course and character of your lovers'
lives may be in your hands; what you
would have them be they shall be, If you
not only desire to have them so, but de
serve to have them so." A man who was
competing for a Government appointment
was observed at the examination now and
then to take something from his pocket.
Whenever a stiff bit of work was reached
.out came this mysterious something. An
examiner, suspecting that he was copy
ing, asked, to see what he had In his
hand. The man blushed and showed the
portrait of the girl who was to become
his wife if he gained the appointment.
He was getting Inspiration from the sweet
face. This Is an illustration of the power
of love to-urge us to be and to do our
best.
Drinking toasts is a stupid custom; but
there is one toast which always seems to
me to be excusable, and that Is tho toast
to "Sweethearts and Wives," which Is
often drunk by sailors and soldiers at
Christmas time. The word "sweetheart"
is a beautifully expressive one, and Is as
sociated with the best feelings of our
nature and with tho brightest period of
life. When a young man falls in love his
heart is put to school; and our hearts need
schooling even more than do our heads.
How the Ivnlser 3Ict His "Wife.
To have loved a good woman Is to have
received a liberal education, and it would
seem that this means of culture Is enjoyed
by that many-idcd man, the present Em
peror of Germany. The domestic virtues
of his wife help him to bo tho ruler he is.
It was at Prlnkenau. then the palace of
tbe Grand Duko Frederick, that Prince
William saw his future bride. He had
arrived as a guest at the Castle sooner
than he was expected, and while strolling
in the Park came upon a Summer-house
Into which he penetrated. There he saw
a falr-halred girl asleep In a hammock,
and thought It only right to withdraw.
Afterwards when ho met her Inside the
Castle, he recognized tho sleeper In the
Princess Augusta Victoria, and was so
impressed .with her naturalness and charm
.that be engaged himself to her in mar
riage. Tho Emperor frequently speaks of
the Empress as a "pearl of great price,"
and has used on a public occasion these
words: "I could wish no better for the
men of my nation than that the girls of
Germany should follow tho example of
their Empress, and devote their lives, as
she does her life, to the cultivation of the
three great K's, 'Klrche, Kinder, Kuche'
Church, Children, Cookery. But though
the Empress is one of those "women who
rule by obeying, she always knows how
to Insist upon her own way when she
thinks that the best way In reference to
her children." Speaking of her husband,
she once said sweetly: "He is Emperor
of Germany, but I am Empress of the
nursery."
It has. been said that "the first condi
tion of human goodness Is something to
love." "I have lived I have labored I
have loved. I have lived in them I loved,
labored for them I loved, loved them for
whom I labored." Well might Sir Thomas
Moore, who used these words, add: "My
labor hath not been in vain," for, to say
nothing of Its effect upon others, how It
must have disciplined his own character!
"Family life,' says Salnte Beuve, "may
be full of thorns and cares; but they are
fruitful; all others aro dry thorns." And
again: "If a man's home at a certain
period of life does not contain children.
It will probably bo found filled with follies
or vices."
"Wives and Success in Life.
In a speech upon women's rights, a lady
orator exclaimed: "It is well known that
Solomon owed his wisdom to the number
of his wives!" This Is too much; but it
Is an undoubted fact that the success or
failure of most men depends to a very
large extent upon the kind of women
they marry. And this we think is espe
daily true in reference to men of genius.
An intellectual life, however successful
requires the softening- Influence of a hap
py marriage to prevent its becoming sour
and cynical. Tom Moore spoke for
large number of men of genius when he
said that, having experienced the empti
ness of applause and popularity, he found
In his house something better than the
world could give or take away.
And one dear home one saving ark.
"Where love's true light at last Vxe found
Shining within, when all was dark
And comfortless, and stormy round.
It Is often the case when you see
great man, like a ship, sailing proudly
along the current of renown, that there
Is a little tug, his wife, whom you can
not see, but who is directing his move
ments, and supplying the motive power.
This truth' is well Illustrated by an anec
dote told of Lord Eldon. When he had
received tho great seal from the hand of
the King and was about to" retire, he
was addressed by His Majesty with the
words: "Give my remembrance to Lady
Eldon." The Chancellor, In acknowledg
ing the condescension. Intimated his lg
norance of Lady Eldon's claim to such
notice. "Yes, yes," the King answered
"I know how much I owe to Lady Eldon.
I know that you would have made your
self a country curate, and that she has
made you my Lord Chancellor."
The mother' of the beautiful Duchess of
Devonshire thus wrote to David Garrlck
"It will tomorrow be one and twenty
years since Lord Spencer married me, and
I verily believe that we have neither of
us repented of our lot from that time to
this.'' Here was a case of love not only
becoming the temptations of court, but
enabling a man to acquit himself well in
life that requires so much prudence ana
tact We know how the great love she
had for her husband was one element of
the pure and elevating Influence which
Queen VIctdria exercised not only upon
the life of her own court, but upon that
of all the courts of Europe.
Some Famous Men's "Wives.
William Cowper. the first Earl of his
line, was reclaimed from dissipation and
disreputable connections by an early mar
riage, which he contracted a year before
his call to the bar. Having lived happily
with his wife for 20 years, he married. In
06, the year after her death, the beau
tiful Mary Claverlng, lady of the bed
chamber to the Princess of Wales. Her
diary and their published letters show
the loving terms on which they, lived.
Here is ono entry in the. diary: "After
dinner we went to Sir Godfrey' Kneller's
to see a picture of my Lord which he is
drawing and Is the best that ever was
done of him; it Is for my drawing-room.
and in the same posture that he watched
me so many weeks In my great illness."
A man at court. In camp, or. Indeed. In
any of the affairs of life, cannot but be
greatly strengthened, for his work when
he has a wife like-, the ono with whom
Edmund Burke "was blessed. He f requent
ly declared that every care vanished the
moment he entered under his. own roof.
His wife managed so welL his private af
fairs that his mind was kept free for
public duties.
Prince Bismarck used to say of his wife.
"She it Is who has made me what I am."
She showed her love to. him in many prac
tical ways, not the least of which was In
defending him from bores. An Ambassa
dor of one of the great powers called on
Bismarck, and in the course of a rather
long conversation asked the Prince how
he managed. to get rid of troublesome vis
itors. "Oh, that is very simple." replied
the Chancellor; "when my- wife thinks
that any one is staying too long she mere
ly sends- for me, and thus tho interview
ends." At. that .moment a servant -entered.
and, bowing low, begged his master to
favor the Princess with his presence for
a few minutes. The -Ambassador blushed
as muchas. any diplomatist can blush.
and at onca withdrew as gracefully as-
posslblo in the trying circumstances.
9 When the. famous John Bright married.
ills brido said to him: "John, attend to
thy business and thy public affairs, and
I will -provide for the house and relieve
thee from all cares at home." This is
the sort of wife that enables a man to
work and rule In courts in camp and in
tno world generally.
About Lady Bcaconsfleld.
A friend of Lord Beaconsfleld. speaking
of the time when he was plain-Benjamin
Disraeli, writes: "We were congratulating
him upon the result of an election, and
he said one thing that particularly struck
me, aiy wire win ne very pleased." " This
lady was 15 years older than Disraeli,
-and he used-frequently to tell her, in joke.
that ho had, married her for her money;
to which she would reply: "Ah, but If you
had to do it over again, you would do it
for love" a .statement to which he always
smilingly assented. On April 12, 1SS7, when
Disraeli defeated Gladstone's amendment
to the reform bill, the younger members
of the party extemporized a supper at the
Carlton Club, and begged him to Join
them. But, no! In his triumphs, as in his
defeats, there was no place like home,
and Lady Beaconsfleld, looking back on
this occasion, used to repeat, "Dlzz came
homo to me." On April 3, 1S72, this sym
pathetic wife hastened back from listening
to one of his great speeches in order to
receive the orator. When she heard his
carriage, she hurried from the drawing-
room to the hall, rushed into his arms,
embraced him rapturously, and ex
claimed: "Oh, Dizzy! Dizzy! this Is the
greatest night of all, this pays for all!'
"Out of the strong came forth sweet
ness," might be said of many soldiers. An
eye like Mars to threaten and command
but also a smile that betokened a loving
disposition. Brave men are tender-hearted
and chivalrous, and the sweetest domestic
affections have not seldom-been shown by
these who were towers of strength against
the enemies of their country. The great
Duke of Marlborough loved his wife much.
but it was not a love that cast out fear.
In one of his letters from the Low Coun
tries he wrote: "I have before me at this
moment 60.000 of the best soldiers in the
world, commanded by the best Generals
In Europe, and I am not half so much
afraid of them as I am afraid of you when
you are angry." In very recent times we
have heard of camps being ruled, and es
peclally of military patronage being dis
tributed, by woman's influence.
Lord John Lawrence, of Indian fame.
was sitting in his drawing-room at South
gate with his sister and others of the fam
ily; all were engaged in reading. Looking
up from his book, in which he had been
engrossed, he, discovered that his wife
had left the room. "Where's mother?'
said ho to one of tho daughters. "She's
upstairs," replied the girl. He returned
to his book, and looking up again a few'
minutes later, put the same question to
his daughter, and received the same an
swer. Once more he returned to his book.
and looking up again, a few minutes later.
put the same question to his daughter and
received the same answer. Once more he
returned to his reading; once more he
looked up, with the same question on his
Hps. His sister broke In: "Why, really.
John, It would seem as if you could not
get on five minutes without your wife.'
"That's why I married her," he replied,

"BABIES IN THE WAY?"
Correspondent Suggests That Modern
Wife Is Too Busy for Them.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., May L (To
the Editor.) I have been watching the
discussion of the raco problem with great
interest. And I was greatly pleased" this
morning with grandmother's discussion of
"The Family Question." This Is a many-
sided subject and as a physician I have
had the opportunity of viewing It from
various standpoints: And as grandmother
says, the question Is no longer "sacred,
but through newspaper discussion has
become very common. President Roose
velt is a great man, and we all rejolco
that the White House Is the.home of Ave
happy children not a large family as
compared with Oregon and Washington
pioneer families. Many -pioneer mothers
have given three times that number to
their state. But Judging from tho "signs
of the times" such mothers will soon be
come obsolete and will be remembered
only In history. As President Roosevelt
said of hla son, when he was convalesc
ing. "He Is coming out of the woodsWlth
leaps and bounds." And so with our Na
tion, we are going ahead with "leaps
and bounds." Wo havo no time for old
fashioned ways Tor- old-fashioned living.
They are. cast behind us like worn out
garments. Nothing but high pressure and
rapid transit -will satisfy us. Education
is our Nation's watchword. Our dally pa
pers are volumes within themselves. We
read them principally through their heacf
lines, editorials and telegraphic dis
patches. There is no place set aside, now-
j adays. In which to file away our newspa

1 filled with good reading, which we should
like to read if we only had the time.
Sixty years ago we were glad to get one
mail in 12 months. When we 'received two
malls a year we were delighted. Now we
are not satisfied with "two free deliveries

No one thinks of doing business now
without a telephone. The doctor calls the
family or nurse -up, inquires about his
patient, then calls the druggist, dictates
a prescription and orders tbe medicine

housewife, the neighbors, all give orders
and gossip over the phone. Even the little
tots know how- to climb up to the phone
and ring up central, and make their
their little wants known.. And la there

stant care. And as society Is today, our
girls are not reared and drilled as thelr
srandmothcrs were, In the care of child
ren and the home. From the ages of 7
to 20 they are kept In school. From the
high school they go to the normal from
there to the university. Then they are
ushered into matrimony and expected to
rear a large family. "When such a mother,
without wealth at her command, attempts
to bring a child Into the world, every
two or even three years, as a rule, she
breaks down and becomes a physical
wreck. It matters not how much senti
ment or glamor Is thrown about mother
hood. All the stern reality falls to her
lot, and society has augmented her suffer
ings and responsibilities ten fold. No
children nowadays grow up like "Top
sles." No more girls njarry with parents'
consent at the age of 14 to begin raising
a large family. No more boys and girls
at the ages of 14 and 15 can be found on I
the farm or In the homea doing men's and
women's work. Certainly not In Oregon,
where we have a humane law to protect
our children under the age of 16 from do
ing work after etated hours.
Sixty, or even SO years ago tho labor
question was not under discussion. Girls
could be obtained at from $1 to $2 per
week. They could wash, iron, clean, cook,
take care of the children and the house.
A week meant seven full days. But those
days are gone. The new girl as well as
"the new woman" has come to stay. Ed.
ucatlon has lifted her out and beyond
those old-fashioned ways. Now we can
talk with the nations of the world, by
wires under the seas and without wires
over the seas. "We open our eyes in the

the heads of the nations will tell us to
morrow. AH this Interfers with baby
raising. For "babies must cry. to be
healthy." And society has excluded them
from churches, theaters, banquets, recep
tions and indeed almost every public
place. Papa must go and mamma wants
to go. But who will stay with baby. The
hired girl? Oh, no, not she. And now
comes the time that the young mother's
trials begin. She is left alone with her
baby or babies. Day and night she must
be at her post. Now she finds time for
reflection. And she usually reflects about
irL.this wise: "What was I educated for?
I am shut out from everything, I have no
time for society and must of necessity
soon bedropped out. I am simply a nurse,
and fast becoming a household drudge.
And yet my husband expects me to meet
him with a smile and look tho same as I
did before we were married."
This brings to my mind an Instance that
happened at my home a few yearjs ago.
A young widow had a handsome young
lad of 3 years who required a great deal of
will power to manage. After a tussle
with him one day, which completely ex
hausted her, she dropped Into a chair and
with, a most distressed expression, saldr
"Oh, my God, what shall I do?" Turning
to me she said, in the most pitiful tone:
"Tell me, doctor, is this the only way
the world must be populated?" My heart
went out to her In sympathy, but I could
not refrain a smile. I said: "Never
mind, my dear friend, it will all come
out right. Children are very much alike,
and one Is not so bad as a dozen."
"A dozen," she echoed; 'T would be in
the Insane asylum If I had more than one,
and I will. tell you now that I will never
get married again to have this repeated."
Thus far she has kept her word.
As I have said, this Is a many-sided
question." But it Is In the hands of the
public and I have faith that It will be
examined, analyzed and disposed of for
the good of our Nation. Since the land-'
Ing of the Pilgrims, woman has not been
lacking In her duty, and she will be found
In the future, as "in the past, faithful

The best arUcle that I have seen on
this subject was an editorial published
some weeks ago In The Oregonian. "Eliot

The article referred to la as follows:

deplores the small families or no families
of the highly cultivated as a thing to be
reprimanded if not indeed extirpated, he
gives himself bootless concern about
something for which there is no help and
something which Is probably on the whole
the best arrangement possible. Agitation
is undesirable In a Harvard man, any
way, and the course of nature Is some
thing It Is rarely profitable to seek to
Interfere with.
The fertility of the human race Is In
inverse ratio to culture, possibly to in
telligence. This) Is a universal law. It
applies to modern London or Boston as
much as to the ancient world to Ger
many as well as France. It forms a part
of the general system by which nature
prevents overcrowding of the race. Every
stage of human development has Its pe
culiar checks on population. What star
vation and massacre achieve in sav
agery, the love of ease and the pride of
luxury afford to the cultivated. It is un
necessary to expatiate upon the reasons
why devotees of literature, art and fash
Ion content themselves with small fam
ilies, or with no children at all, or even
without marriage. They are familiar to
all; and are not amenable to reason.
These matters are no more referable to
public policy or religious mandates than
love Is to the locksmith. Accept them,
therefore, without protest or alarm.
There is no great loss. The highly culti
vated are not necessarily more fitted for
perpetuation of the race than are the
children of the soil. We require many
things for offense and defense of or
ganized society, in advance of poise and
intonation. The highly cultivated are not
tho best soldiers, builders or traders.
They are not the most desirable parents
either, In many ways. Their children are
likely to be without the struggle which
In early life or not at all gives strength
for the supreme battles. Inheritance
can give the child, strong body and to
somo extent a moral Intensity, but It Is
one of the plainest and mast pathetic
facts of human experience that intel
lectual power cannot be transmitted. The
greatest of earth left no descendants.
The family of Shakespeare has perished

rule belong to hopeless mediocrity. Many
of them are Imbecile, many are vicious
and depraved, many of them are crushed
by the weight of their name and expecta
tions, or seduced by the Indulgence which
power puts within their reach.
And it is better so. If the superior cir
cumstances, in life perpetuated themselves
as prosperously as the poor, the result
