Investigation results In a merry-go-round llhe chat depicted so often by a newspaper cartoonists: everyone pointing with his thumb Co his neighbor and laying, ‘‘Him." The consumer blames the butcher for charging so much for steak, the butcher blames the wholesaler for advancing the price of beef, the wholesalers blames the commission house or packers, the commission house alleges shortag:6 of shipments, the shipper alleges ihortage of cars, the railroad alleges cowboys are scaring trains with fulldress suits, the cowboys claim that they are forced to wear them; and back It goes, cattlemen assert that the railroads will not accept cattle unless accompanied by cowboys In full-dress suits, railroads assert Government compels this, Government ■sserts commission men demanded It, commission men assert that the measure waa put through by the trholesalera, wholesalers assert that the butchers themselves did the lobbying, and the butchers promptly unload the responsibility upon the

people.

Thread advances-—-presumably because the lumber for spools Is ad vaneed; lumbei for spools has advanced because oats are high (the logging teams require grain three times a day. and that mounts up), lats are high becau. e of a wet spring and as the wet spring was sent presumably by Providence, certainly My Lady must not protest when her gown costa more by 60 per cent. It Is P 11 * forward by some social economists that dear money, as the term expresses It, Is a sign of prosperity. But Is It? Is It, when the prosperity of the many Is being milked to swell by greater ratio, the prosperity of the few? Is the average man today getting his money s worth? Occasionally (we would not breathe the confession outside of our own booming country)—Into the minds of some of us creeps the suspicion that the average man who occupies the bottom of the heap —Is not.—Llpplncotts.

The Mother Who Does Her Duty, . I If the average man Is brave and hard-working and clean-llrlng, If the average woman has the qualities which make a good wife and good mother, If each has self-reepect, and If each realizes that the greatest thing in life Is the chance to do ser* vice—why. then the future of the nation Is secure. We can not stand up for what 's good In manhood and womanhood without condemning what Is evil. We must condemn the man who is either brutal and vicious, or weak and cowardly; the man who falls to do his duty by the public, who Is a bad neighbor, and Idler, an Inconsiderate father. So also we must condemn the woman who, whether from cowardice or coldness, from selfish love of ease or from lack of all true womanly quality, refuses to do right her g’-eat and allessential duties of wifehood and motherhood. We admire a good man; but we udmlre a good woman more. We believe In her more. All honor Is due the man who does his full duty In peace, who as a soldier dees his full duty In war; but even more honor Is due the mother; for the birth pangs make all men the debtors of all women. No human being has a greater title or respect than the moMiec vho does her full duty, who bears ■ nti rears plenty of healthy children, so t'uat there shall be national growth and not national decadence, so that In quality and In quantity our people shall Increase. The measure of our belief In and respect for the good man and the good woman must be the measure of our condemnation cf the man and the woman who whether from vlclousnees and selfishness or from vapid folly, falls to do each his or her duty In his her special sphere. Courage, unselfishness, common sense, devotion to high Ideals, a proper care for the things of the spirit, and yet also for the things of the body—these are what we most need to see In our people; these are the qualities that make up the right sort of family life; and these are the qualities that by precept and by example you here, whom I am aldresslng are bound to do all In your power to make the typical qualities of American citizenship. -From President Koosevelt’s speech

to Methodist Ministers.

EXPECTATIONS.

Jack—I expected that you would refuse me. Ethal—Then why did you ask me? Jack—I depended upon that old adage; “The unexpected always happens.’’ FAR AWAY FROM HERE.

LABORERS' HIRE IN CHURCHES. The question of preachers’ salaries, which Is being much agitated in the Central West, must be regarded as bearing a close and vital relation lo that of declining and dying churches, recently discussed. There Is douht that many rural churches are declining and even dying because of the poor quality of ministerial service which is given to them. Nor 111 that at all strange. It must be remembered that the Pentecostal fift to the original Apostles was intellf'tual as well as spiritual, 'the lanv or of the Apostles to-day mart flso have Intellectual power as wall spiritual consecration. One of Itte rural churches to which we recsnlly referred as ha.in,: died had b fore Its demise been served chiefly py ''supplies" from a nelghl theolo 'ical seminary—callow youths in •dit to the congregation their tclooinoy essays in place of sermons' There can be no doubt, either, i!

PREPAID AND POSTGRADUATE. Let us select as an Illustration one location now regularly employed. In Its formation the idea of contributing to perspicuity was unmistakably the controlling motive. This Is the compound prepaid. The word came into general use in the first half of the nineteenth century In connection with the establishment of the penny postage. It excited the Indignation of many verbal critics. Conspicuous among these was Albany Foublanque, the then very able and influential editor of the Examiner. He was In the habit of applying various derogatory epithets both to the term Itself and to the misguided beings who employed It. He spoke of it as being 'in common and barbarous use.' The pre, he asserted, added nothing but a superfluous syllable. It was in the following agreeable way that he gave il.i account of the origin of the word. “The barbarous surplusage," he wrote, ‘and as barbarous mongrel compound of prepaid was Introduced with the penny postage, and Is in use confined to It alone.'' All this and similar denunciation had not the slightest effect upon the fortunes of thu term. No attention whatever m ems to have been paid to the pro-ti.-i of the men criticising it; at all fc vents, it li.ey were heard, they were unheeded. The result Is that nun do rot now even dream of tbo compound as being objectionable. So tar from being aware that its propriety was ever questioned, tno.it of them assume that it has come down unchallenged from some remote past. A very late formation precisely similar to prepaid Is postgraduate. The in position prefixed adds notuing to the status or character the person so designated. A postgraduate Is really nothing hut a graduate. When the compound first came Into use as the designation of a particular class of students, many there weie who wore much exercised In mind over Its correctness. It Is not a necessity, hut it has maintained Itself simply because It makes a little clearer to the comprehension of all what U many will seem already sufllclently clear.—Prof. Lounabury, In per's.
