In which he iiMotea from my letter, pub lished Ik tober 31. A Mr. Itlgby In terprets my words from an entirely different stamlpolnt :in I had In ten-led. I would appreciate the kindness If you will publish tl Is allempt to make mv meinlng clear. Mr. Ilighy quotes: " and no nstion can add to Its greatness by killing other nations. Rcme tried It. Oermany Is trying II. Hut better a llelclum than a Oermany." In answer Mr. Klffby writes: "Methlnka If wou'd be diffi cult lo make a live ll-l;lan subscribe to that doctrine." Whether a live Iielisn aould subarrilie to It or rot. would not make the sl't-hteet olffcr- ence In the righteousness or value ol the d-M trine. Iloaever. I b4 leve. from a standpoint tf justice, rishteousncss. or spirituality even n live Hcluian aould rathrr be a H.-1 clan than a tier man. Mr. Kiglv further a, notes: "Why should a mother brln child Into the at or Id lo be shot clown as a soldier?" HI ansarr la: "If n womnn ca-uld bring her child into the solid to be any particular kind of a man: If all women could bring their children Into the world lo bo that hlch the woman wt.hed. perhaps war might cease. say perhaps, for who know the desire of tho majority of women? Hut the fact remains thai children will be brought Into the world un!er practi cally present conditional for many ages: haphazard and In sorrow by the vast majority: unedurjteil and with the hu man passions for many eons, we fear." To say the least, a mother can. and sboulil. try to teach her child to be what she want It to be. Anil no mat ter rnhat the desire of the majority of women mu he. a mother h4uld teach her child the best and htghret lhat i-hc knows. Apil no matter a hat our present conditions arr. If a-e a art to better them, we must !e.4ch and live a better way. we must tch aa:-iinal ignorance and passion, against a sr. which ! a ahlrlalnd of Icnorrani-e and passion. And if man can na vcr con trol ii-ea.44 rlcmenls fhrpugh eturatiin and self-control then let him write de.pa-r across Ire fai-o of hitmnnltv. If there ! no advancement possible f4r humanity, on account of present conditio! a. or any other conditions, then we might aa well cast h die and let hell ar.d cna's reign. Hut nun. while he ha life, cannot t-elli-vo this. for arilo wa have life we must strug gle for mo'e It.'e life the strin.-4.le for more life. Mr. Righy wrote his r(er for a purpose lhat h believed In, and so do I write my I'-tt-r: when we are hungry, wc believe that w-o can obtslr food, rlis we would make no attempt, and we would starve; with out flUh there can be no life. Mr. litgby finally qaotvs: "Aralnst the world splrllun:iy I defend thy self" "Hrlke Ir Irlliialivl to the right and t44 the eft." fH fen-l thy rlf (spiritual!'! acalnil a million fiaea.

It was not intended for the race, as Its prohibitions could not be observed In . large portion of the earth It was Intended for one people and one country. It wa for the Jews.

U sems some of our married friends are mindcj to Join the olscusslon. I notice two contributions on how to kep a goot! man love. One w riter seem to think It doe not I av to kvp one's self clean and pure snd frie from the selfishness that de-bas- that the husband does not ap preciate Ii. and when he wonts com psnlons be goes to the other kind. Now I do not be'.ieve a good man would do anything of the sort, and nine tlii.es out of ten the man who seeks such entertainment away from home, bis loir Is not woith holding, or else he Is driven away by the hypocrisy, mick heroics and maudlin sentimental ity, or failure on the part of the wife to come up to his stamlards. If pcoi'c aro lrul' Wted, their in-, terests are Identical, and our divorce courts would go out of existence. They who decry the divorce evil are beginning- the wrong- way. They should work to educate young men and women to "know themselves" and to look upon marriage as a vocation to be entered into with all the seriousness they would Kive a business proposition, and not be guided so wholly by "fancy" or passionate love. They should also be taught how to leain aomi-thing of the natural tenden cies of the other. Marriage does not work the transformation in either sex some are disposed to imagine. "As the twig Is bent so the tree is inclined." The young nun who is rude and care less of the welfare of his mother and sister will not. as a general rule, be thoughtful of the comfort of his wife. Nor will the young woman who i.i sclliehly domineering in the home, who come down late, with townled hair, kimono and flipllop slippers, make a careful wife, mother or Intelligent companion for any man worthy the name. Altogether too nuny young people nowadays enter tlw marriage relation with the idea that there are not going to be any babies. I suppose those "peace propagan dists" who are singing "I won't raise a boy to bo a. soldier" will take issue with me. But to the prospective fathers and mothers I would say, raise your boys to be men and your girts to be women. In the broad sense of the word, and if during their life there arises a crisis such as the Old World now faces, they will know- their work and do it. They will be men and women who love home and country above all else. There are many problems, both phys ical and sociological, that will have to be worked out before the millennium, and the relation of the sexes is one of them. Men and women are beinc cheated out of their divine heritage through Ignorance of natural law. Fome of us who would chake off the fetters of a worn-out convention are yet only half-hearted and slaves to a falbe educational system. Newspaper readers often read things that meet with their hearty approval, but rarely have an opportunity of speaking a word of commendation. Monday's Oregonlan gave us Superin tendent Alderman's reply to critics of vocational training. I think It a grand, good thing to Have it included in the curriculum, and believe a few genera tion hence there will be fewer "square peg in round holes" as a result. I hope the "Wanderers' Club" prob lem will gradually take definite shape and result In bringing congenial souis in touch and will "hold the thought" that we shall be brought nearer to that which has been designed for our need. In the words of Tennyson's optimism: "Out of the darkness of night The world moves into light: It is daybreak everywhere." MRS.

Tho recent discharge of the Wlnnctk. 111., postmaster by an onl cious and overzealotjw superior prompts me to cite an incident in tho career and Administration of President Roose velt, Back In the '90s. when Captain Samp son sa made an Admiral over the heads of Comomdore ik-hley and others worthy and In the direct line of promo tion, the newspapers descanted at length on the advancement of Drs. Wood and Ainsworth, Army surgeons, to the grades of Oenerals. and when Captain Pershing likewise was made a. General, by MeKinley and Roosevelt, In violation of law and precedent. quite a bit of rancor was aroused and much crimination and recrimination resultvd. . I was an Assistant Appraiser in the I'nlted States customs at Chicago dur- Inir the Incumbency of Cleveland. Mr Klr.ley and Roosevelt. Early in Roose velt's term tho Sampson-Schley contro versy came up afresh. This was th opportunity to show "how big was Roosevelt.". He issued a ukase wnicn waa printed ana sen out to all Government employes, read Ing thus: "All Government employes are herebv forbidden to discuss, in or out of oltiee hours, anything pertain Ing lo the Sampson-Schley matter, pro or ion. on penalty or summary atsmis ial from the service." This ianie not from any special de partment. hut from the great mogul himself, and applied to all alike. On receiving my copy I went from the en gineer's room to the Janitor's cubby hole, at the flagstaff, eight floors above, and expressed my opinion in no very honeyed diplomatic terms.
