Japan and Germany, but France remains calm and disinterested. No country equals America for doing things when they get started. This year over 24,000 miles of modern roads will be constructed at a cost of a billion dollars. We are now maintaining 217,794 miles of splendid highways. Gerald Chapman is said to be quite irritable these days and he will probably lie more 'out of fix as the day of his execution approaches. Like the old colored man in Texas, this ought to be a good lesson to Gerald. We can scarcely keep up with seicnee these days. It is now announced that the next great advancement will be some mysterious means of producing light by radio but we hope they don't junk the electric plants until the new- invention has been further tested. . Senator James Reed, of Mis >uri. made a speech the other evening in which he said (hat "ninety per cent, of the newspapers of the land are run by morons, for revenue only.” That's Jim's idea of those newspapers which have not agreed with him and ten per cent, is probably a high figure for that. Chicago voted against the 3375.U0Q,<m*i proposed street ear merger to lw» taken over by the city. It included fifty miles of tunnels and two hundred miles of elevated tracks besides that much of ordinary street car property. There is no doubt that, Chicago must do something to .ike care of the always increasing traffic and it is quite likely that the plan worked out and supported by Mayor ' Devers and others who have studied the question was a very sensible one but tlie immense figures frightened 1 the voters. It may require two or ! three elections and some changes, but eventually they will have to do something in the windy city.

Biykett. — o The People’s Voice OUR DIVINE DUTY IN MARRIAGE (By L S. Woods) Marriage was one of Christ's special matters concern,. Ho restored Matrimony to its proper dignity, stat- | ing that from the beginning of the I human race it was a permanent contract. Marriage is the most vital contract among mankind. Il is the most i eodsequcutal affair of life. It is a : contract that affects the individuals | who make it. the children who may

result from it, und society— of which it is tho basis. We arc prone to regard the present only and to disregard the future. Things seen me for mightier than thinr.i. l.eurd o' eontemplated. The world of today prc-euH fa -e i principles of its valorlea. II I 'Us them tlmt the things that cotmi lire material. It sccfts ut spiritual val'ties. The result is that people 11 te i only too willingly to a doctrine wh.’eh ! gives free reign to lust, greed and every human weakness We see the effects of this in the prevailing license of today. Christ, the light of the world, came to set men right on the vital matters of life He laid Hie foundation by stating, this life is not the goal but starting point of men. to reach the Grept Celestial City’, in which there is a mansion prepared for us. Beyond the river of Jordan. He raised edifice of Christian morality conscience is the voice of God directing man. He gave to us all the principles of righteousness which being the only proper form of conduct, should be our guide and must be our guide if the material results are to be checked. Christ tells us that with but one exception, a Christian eonsumated marriage is absolutely tindissolvilde. A disolved marriage except for matrimonial infidelity, is sinip'y an act of enmity created within ones heart by the influence of evil precepts, which has gained control of our will power, eroneously leading us to believe that a divorce i» in harmony- with justice ami right, and so we follow the dictations of legal procedeings, decorating the court columns with the results of 'enmity, unless cheeked will follow on through to the younger generation. When parents prefer divorce Io patience, they are shifting their sorrows or burdens on innocent children. Divorce penalizes offsprings for the wrong doing or lack of virtue of parents, and the child of divorced I parents carries bitterness and stig I ma to tho grave, it ■ reales hatred I n Hie child towards either father or I mo!her. or perhaps both. It leaves I i barrier usually in iiie ii( -of their I child. Child is God's gift of happi- | ness to a united husband and wife. It is sad enough when death removes father or mother from children, yet death imiy leave consoling •memories of the deceased parent. Laborers, clerks, doctors or any profession of hfe. endures ijntiold sacrifices and 'isplays unbelievabltx patience for # the almighty dollar and goes at his task, however bitter it is to him. with a smile and performs his duty. I Family welfare is by far. morelhan wages, in it is embraced a divine duty. As stated it is a'most what people in every corner of life have [ to endure for their wage. Necessary to support the family, yet those same people sinfully refuse to exercise this same patience of endurance in In-half of the innocent and helpless life of their children. If a young man signs a contract for the army, it binds him there for its duration regardless of incompatibility. He may find his superior uifieer most unreasonable and onbearing, yet that will not justify him leaving the service, and he must effect its fulfillment to the letter. Marriage is a more solemn affair than enlistment. Neither does it imply one bids farewell to tin hard ships and trials of life, rather it calls' for the virtue of consideration, pa-, tlcnee and tact. There can be virtue when there is noth ng hard to accomplish or endure. It is only after we have surmounted the obstacles of matrimonial life, tli-it we can claim tin- victory. /, I For sixteen centuries after CbrlflJ there was no such thing in a Christian marriage as divorces. Luther, during the sixteenth century sanctioned a divorce in facor of one of his supporters, the Prince of Hesse. And following that meager trick began the Food of divorcements which now menace society. When we sign a contract to do a certain act. as that of constructingi building we may meet many unforseeti obstacles in the course of construction, and they may be so numerous that the fulfillment of the contract seems impossible. Were it not that we an- bound by this contract I am afraid we would deviate considerable. or try to set it aside. However knowing the terms of the contract, we go out and face those obstacles ami dillicuities with a detertibnalioti to master them, and again the victory. The very fact that we master those difficulties make us bigger men and women and devel ope ■ in us virtues and qualities which make us hbrhqH and not. shifters to; fiie innocent. The family contract ami integrity is for more precious and parents should exercise the same tact and adherence to its terms, there would be but few divorces. Chi-1 dien would not be burdened with the shifting of sorrows and burdens to them by incedious parents. They of injust ice to be distributed among would not be compelled by the hand | strangers, away from the tender cares of father aud mother, a greater.
