Items Gathered In From Far and Near
Roosevelt
, A distinguished citizen of the United States lands in New York after an absence of over a year. Roosevelt. The exponent of individualism. The Man on Horseback returned from Elba? The retired statesman?
Henry Watterson not long ago gave hia view on the subject. He pronounced Roosevelt all that his friends have ever asserted him to be and the most powerful man in America. Then he asks the question if in case popular demand is great enough to force Roosevelt Into the presidency, is it not an admiaaion that democratic government is proclaimed a failure and that we have returned to one man rule?
Not to get excited over such a possibility, two things seem noteworthy. Roosevelt has declared he will not talk polities. Roosevelt IS the man in whom every one is most concerned.
A flip of the coin today may change the whole history of this nation. When Roosevelt does talk 'politics' what will he do? Will the man apotheisized by ail America renounce the tenets of his faith and lose his ability to sense the temper of the people? Will the day come when we shall no longer look to Roosevelt have we expected too much of him? In an age when many men are talking other doctrines than individualism what will the personal element of Theodore Roosevelt amount to? Will he support the Taft administration? What means his silence?
Today and for the next few months History is being made rapidly. It is not the smallest consideration that much of the future of this country lies right in one man today and that man is THEODORE ROOSEVELT. For Good or Evil. For Wisdom or Folly. The American people today believe in Roosevelt.
The people now so hold him, but refuse him the selection of heads by which, only, could be control them.
An Anachronism. From the Portland Oregonian. The Missouri physician who thinks the coroner ought to be obliterated has seen a ray of the true light. The coroner is a useless and fairly expensive anachronism. The best that can be said of him is that he helps out the cheap novelists, but that is hardly a sufficient reason for footing his bills.
Jealously Already. From the Los Angeles Herald. What does Wilbur Wright mean by saying that the Indianapolis aviation meet will be the first national gathering of the kind? The Los Angeles meet was national, and more; it was International and made memorable in the annals of the new science by world's records.
For a Shorter Ballot. From the Sioux City Tribune. The primary reinforces the movement for a short ballot The concentration of the fight upon the one office that of governor, Indicates the need, the utility of concentrating popular opinion on one leading office, and the disposition of the voters to do it. It Is a convincing argument for a short ballot that would. In state matters, contain tho names of the candidates for governor only; in the county for candidates for supervisors only. The short ballot for state and county offices is the next step In line with the commission plan for city government. The excellence of the latter plan warrants its extension to the other divisions of the social organization. At the head, the national ticket, and at the foot, the city ticket, the short ballot . affords voters opportunity to direct their action free from the con
fusion resulting where there is a mul
titude of candidates. There Is no reason why a governor of a state should
not form his cabinet by appointing
the beads of the various departments that does not apply to the federal government. Every reason for the federal plan applies with equal force to the state. A president Is responsible for the administration of - the depart
ments. A governor should be equal
ly so for to departments of the state.
Cornering Cleanliness. From the Topeka State Journal. Now comes the information that a "bath tub trust" is about to be form
ed. And it is said that a rise in retail prices on tubs of between 20 and 30 per cent is contemplated by the promoters of the new organization. That's probably the only excuse for the formation of the "trust."
His Ambition. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It might look to the uninitiated as if
Mr. Bryan wanted to do all the kicking and be the umpire too.
Cobble- Paving. From the Baltimore American. Baltimore can endure cobblestone paving for years to come, but let us hope It won't be necessary.
TWINKLES
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Late Hours.
"I understand that you recently stayed out till after midnight," said
the friend In a shocked tone. "Yes," replied Mr. Meekton.
"wnere am you spend an your
time?"
"Out on the front step waiting for
Henrietta to relent and let me in."
"Imitation may be de sincerist flat
tery," said Uncle Eben, "but dat
doesn make counterfeit money any
mo acceptable."
Varying Motives. How different are the men who go A hero's praise to swell; Some cheer because they love him so And some Just like to yell.
Slighted Opportunity.
"So you think music is a waste of
time?" "Yes," replied Mr. Wallop. "I understand some of these professional pianists practice five hours a day. Think what golf players they might have become in that time."
Misplaced Reticence. "It was a great mistake," sighed the
man who was sued for breach of prom
ise. "What do you mean?" "I used a nom de plume in my literary work Instead of disguising my identity In my love letters."
The Word of Cheer. Mortal man in all his dealings By slight things is deeply stirred; How our pessimistic feelings
Vanish at a single word! All forgetting and forgiving, We dismiss the stubborn storm And life seems well woith the living When the weather man says, "warm." Winter's discontent has vanished, Even though across the sky Clouds, like surly traitors banished. Loiter, ere they say "good-bye." Now the uplift dawns before us; 'Tis an era of reform, Worthy of a welcoming chorus, When the weather man says, "warm."
Heart to Heart Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copy.iRht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye
DIVORCE IN HIGH LIFE. On the same pagesof a newspaper I find two stories of divorce in high life. One tells of the marital warfare of Charles Miller, the Standard Oil millionaire of Pennsylvania, and his wife. According to the newspapers. Miller has paid $300,000 to his wife in settlement In order to avoid publicity concerning the married life of the twain. The other case is that of Albert J. Davis, the millionaire creamery man of Chicago, who is suing bis wife, for divorce. The evidence in the trial showed that Mrs. Davis WAS DRUNK FOR SIX YEARS one of the most prolonged jamborees of record. rhysicians testified that they frequently had attended Mrs. Davis for alcoholism and that she was often in a serious state. One doctor told how she had seen shapeless objects crawling on the floor nnd wall and green dragons that Issued from her slippers and climbed up the sky. Neighbors testified that Mrs. Davis frequently would come home In a cab so drunk that the cabman would have to pick her up and carry her In. And. besides being shown as the champion Marathon drinker of her sex in Chicago, it was proved on the trial that she was often visited by an affinity whose coming and going were the scandal of the neighborhood. Nor is that all of the nauseous mess. Mrs. Davis alleged that her husband was also untrue to hia marriage vows and introduced witnesses to try to prove It. Why drag your attention through such a foul moral sewer? Certainly not to adorn a tale, but to point a. moral. These two divorce cases are typical of the marital infelicity of the so called "smart set." millionaires and their wives, who fancy that money will buy anything they want. You say you must work hard and your wife must stint and save, you strain every nerve to pay your honest debts and meet the high cost of living and you cannot earn as much in a year as some of these people spend in a day Nevertheless I say to you Pity the sorrows of the very rich! If you have a faithful wife and healthy children yon can well afford to pity these debauchees and reflect over the question whether or not yon yourself could stand their great prosperity.
"What ia the difference between a riddle and two cats sitting on a bun?" asked a lad of his father. "What an absurd question!" said the parent Well. "111 give It up." "The one Is a conundrum, the other a bununderem!"

RICHMOND,
THE WW SCHOOL Lesson XII. Second Quarter, For June 19, 1910.
TOLD OUT OF COURT
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text ef the Lesson, Matt, xiii, 1-9 IS23 Memory Verse, 23 Golden Text, Jas. i, 21 Commentary Prepared by Rev. O. M. Stearna. We 6tep back quite a bit in the ordex of events to take up tills and the ne.it two lessons on the "Mysteries of toe Kingdom," but perhaps It does not matter much how we step if only we step Into the light and keep step with our blessed Lord in His thoughts apd purposes. Although verses 10 to 11
are not included in our lesson v?e' must look at them, as there we find the reason why lie taught in parables. The rulers having determined to kill Him (xii, 14) our lesson chapter opens with the statement that the same day He went out of the bouse and sat by the seaside. A simple statement of a fact, but very suggestive of another fact that He was about to go out from the bouse of Israel and begin to gather from the sea of nations another people during this age who will reign with Him in the next or kingdom age (Matt, xxiii, 37-30; Acts xv, 14-1S). When the disciples asked Him why He taught in parables. His reply was, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." And then he quoted from lsa. vi the prophecy concerning this blindness. The kingdom of God, or of heaven, was no mystery, for it was plainly revealed in all the Old Testament. The sufferings and glory of the Messiah were all fully revealed, but that there should be a long period between the sufferings and the glory, that the kingdom would be at hand and then postpoued
for a whole age, this was not revealed until by the Lord in these parables, and later to and by Paul. A concordance will enable any one to see that the word "mystery" is used of God in Christ. Christ in His people, the blindness of Israel, the resurrection of the just, the development of iniquity, the end of this age. This whole age between the rejection of Christ and His coming again in glory is the time of the mysteries of the kingdom which our Lord sets forth in these seven parables of this chapter. Mark and Luke each give the first one the parable of the sower the understanding of which seems all important, for our Lord said when asked for its significance, "Know ye not this parable? And how, then, will ye know all parables?" (Mark iv.) From our next lesson we learn that the field is the world (verse 38), and we must bear in mind that it is a world lying in the wicked one and that
he is t.he god of it. It is an evil age
and ever growing worse as far as the fear of God is concerned (I John v, 19; II Cor. iv, 4; Gal. i, 4; Rom. xii. 1, 2; II Tim. ill, 1-5). Alongside of un
paralleled progress on many lines there
is unparalleled iniquity, unbelief, re
jection of the Bible as the word of
God and of -the deity of Christ and of
His atonement for sin. We are nowhere taught to expect any improve
ment In these matters during this age,
but we are faithfully to sow the seed
of the word of God everywhere and expect just what we are taught in this parable. Some set their hearts on
certain results and say we must have
this or that, we must have fifty or a hundred conversions, we must have a
revival, the town must be taken for God, etc. Happie are those who are In harmonv with the Lord and who
rest on His assurance that His word
will accomplish that which He pleases
(lsa. Iv, 11). It is Incorruptible Beed, the word of life, and He has promised to watch over it (I Pet. i. 23; Acts v, 20; Jer. i, 12, R. V.). The hearts of men are the soil, and some are beaten so hard by the going to and fro of the things of this life that the seed can scarce And entrance, and the devil is always watching to catch it away lest they should believe and be saved. Other hearts are hard within, rocky hearts, but with enough soft soil to receive the seed. Such appear to enjoy the word; they say it does them good, they receive it gladly, but they are easily offended, cannot stand any persecution. In others the soil. is good enough to grow thorns and the seed does find a lodging, and it grows, but the thorns grow so fast that there is no fruit. The cares and pleasures of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, the lusts of other things, choke the word, and no fruit is brought to perfection. In the first two kinds of soil there is no Indication of salvation. I am inclined to believe that this third kind of soil indicates a possibility of salvation, but saved as by fire (I Cor. iii, 14. 15). The fourth kind of soil is good by the grace of God. There is an honest reception of the truth. They hear it and understand it and keep it and bring forth fruit with patience, even to thirty, sixty or a hundred fold. All through this age this is what we are to expect and only this. It Is ours to sow the seed, the pure seed of the word of God, everywhere and at all times, with confidence in Him that He will accomplish His pleasure by it always. Blessed Is that servant whom his Lord when He cometh shall find so doing. Who can estimate the honor ot being a laborer with God? Who would not say, "Here am I, send me!" But we must be sure that we preach only the preaching which He bids us, that wo carry only His message.
Justice of the Peace Luther J. Abbott again presided as special judge in police court this morning in place ot Mayor Zimmerman, and disposed of the usual assortment of "morning after" cases. Samuel Severer, an aged resident of Preble county, yesterday
drank, according to his own words, "a dram or two. maybe," but the evidence seemed to be more positive, and a fine of SI and costs was assessed. It was paid. When arrested by Patrolman Westenburg, the eld man had nearly ?50 in his possession. Stephen Griffin and Henry Uell were given similar fines for similar offenses. John Pippin, arrested yesterday for vagrancy was released after an examination and promised to get work immediately . or leave town.
