PAYING THE DEBT: At this time of the year when the young men and women are filled with ideas of having accomplished something by completeing their school life, tile following from the Grand Rapids Press ought to fit in nicely: "But it is well enough for the young man or woman, reaching the age of 18, to remember that he or she lias‘cost $4,0*10 in ready cash up to that time, and the problem is how to pay it back, tor it is really a debt. There is but one way open for paying the debt and that is through the medium of good habits. If a youngster leads an upright, clean, studious, diligent life he will soon payoff the debt; but if he doesn't the debt will keep on growing and after awhile it will swamp the debtor. There is one sad fact in this matter and that is the more money that is spent on a boy's raising the more heavily the debt rests upon him and the more disinclined he is to pay it—the less able, perhaps, for the more that is squandered upon him the less aide he is to provide for himself, to saynothing of helping to care for those who regard him.”

Ex-senator Beveridge does not agree with the Wilson policies. Stranje as it may seem, this was expected aud consequently the sting is not so severe as might have been otherwise. Fort Wayne is trying a new plan to rid that city of tramps. Five poUccmen chased forty ‘'hoboes" into a box car, brought them out one at a time, clipped a streak of hair out and then gave them each five slaps with barrel staves. It did the work. This man Ford sure has some pre** agent and works him over time. Two or three months ago he put on 4.WW men and doubled the wages of everyman in his factory. Now he announces that he will lay off 6.000. Wouldu'i it have been just as sensible to have kept his men the year around at fair wages rather than to have the graud stand play? But then it pays to advertise. Ex-Preaident Taft is out with n criticism of President Wilson ou his

Mexican policy and proves it by the statement that a three years' war has laid waste the southern republic- and yet Mr. Taft was president of the United States during two of those three years and maintained a neutral policy, it looks as though it was simply a further search lor some thing to find fault with. Colonel Roosevelt arrived home last evening. After a tew days rest lie will sail for Spain to attend the wedding of his son. He was more than glad to get back and disposed of ail the criticism that has been printed about him by denying that he has made any of the statements credited to him. He is happy over accomplishing a new teat, that of placing a river as long as the Rhine on the map, says lie iiasn’t studied the political situation, is not a candidate for governor, and one could almost see from reading his expressions at arriving home, why so many love and follow him. He is still suffering slightly, from the jungle fever but looks well and says he is. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CALENDAR. Wednesday. Mother Hubbard's Class—Mrs. F. U. Hubbard.
