tr.) There aeems to be a lull in the
contribution of the "lonely ones."
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

snd frie from the selfishness that de-bas-
that the husband does not ap
preciate Ii. and when he wonts com

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."

Wlnnctk. 111., postmaster by an onl

me to cite an incident in tho career
and Administration of President Roose

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

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

out of oltiee hours, anything pertain

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

hole, at the flagstaff, eight floors

very honeyed diplomatic terms. I was

CORNELIUS. Or.. Nov. 19. (To the
Editor.) The Oregonian prints a let
ter signed by one George Going in
which he claims to have discovered a
precedent for Sunday closing higher
and better than Judge Gantenbein or
he Constitution; and goes on to quote
from the book of Numbers that grew-
some tale of a people who. upon find
inar a. boot man gathering sticks on the
Sabbath day (a deed contrary to their
superstitions and forbidden by their
nrlests). "brought mm wnnoui me
camp and stoned him that he died."
Presumably Mr. uoing uesires us to
return to the Jungle, or perhaps he only
desires a return ot the dark ages and
the Inquisition.
If we are to give superstitions prece
dence over the ponstitutlons of our civ
ilization in one Instance, why not in
others also? Let us get ready the gib
bet and funeral pyre and continue the
work so zealously prosecuted fn the
dark ages, when upwards of 9.000.000
of the more progressive were hanged
or burned as witches.
