Occasionally a tired, sick hearted member of the race throws up his bands and surrenders, but he Is the exception. Humanity Is brave. Dally do men and women face dangers that might daunt tbe Intrepid gods. Think you because they go about with smiling faces they face no foes? Here Is a strong soul fighting to keep ln subjection his lower nature. He fights a deadly duel every day. He is a brave man, as brave as ever couched a lance ln rest against a foe. And here is one who fights the wild beasts ln the arena of business competition and keeps the whiteness of his soul. And here Is one who struggles with the thorn in his flesh and smiles. Humanity Is brave. This woman faces poverty and limitations. And this one undergoes pain or strain upon ber sympathy. An archangel might well shudder to undertake tbe whole gamut of suffering that comes with everyday wifehood and motherhood. ADd there Is no shrinking, no shirking of the duty! Humanity is brave. . Womanhood suffers and dies and gives no sign. Womanhood lives and smiles in the front of fate. Humanity Is brave. In tbl3 arduous life of ours the real men and women of the race sleep each night as the soldier sleeps on the battlefield. And reveille wakes each martial mortal to daily battle some to fight tbe good fight with willing hands and some with brains and some with hearts. Humanity is brave. Look about you. See the battlefield. Some are flghtng with broken swords. Yes; humanity is brave. '' But It needs dally to repeat tbe prayer of Robert Louis Stevenson: "The day returns and brings us tbe round of Irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play tbe man: help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces. Let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business .all this day, bring us to our renting place weary and content and undisbonored and grant us in the nd the spirlr of sleep. Amen." No Brighter. "When you were a boy, did you always mind your father V asked the young hopeful. "Not always, my son. replied the governor, "but 1 was soundly thrashed every time I disobeyed him. "Gee! Then you didn't learn any easier than I do, did you. dndr Detroit Free Press.

The County Ticket

A prominent Democratic leader of this city 4s quoted as advising Progressive Republican candidates on the Republican county ticket to use their influence with their friends in the Progressive party to keep a complete Progressive county ticket out of the field this campaign. There may be something in this in view of the dissention in the local Democrat machine over the question of nominating a complete Democratic county ticket. Some Democrats want a complete county ticket. Others do not. Those that do not, contend that Wayne county is normally Republican by a large majority and that if the- Progressives do not put a complete county ticket in the field, the chances are in favor of the Republican county ticket and that, therefore, it will be no use to nominate a complete Democrat county ticket. At the same time we understand that those who do not favor a, complete Democrat ticket have threatened to change their position if the Progressives do nominate a complete ticket. Can it be that we have a bi-partisan machine in Wayne county? Can it be that the Democrat bosses are coming to the aid of their fellow bosses in the Republican party because the Progressive party means death to the whole boss system. Democrat as well as Republican? Is that the reason the Democrat bosses are willing to force a partial county ticket down the throats of the local Democrats? What other reason would prompt a Democrat to be solicitous about a Republican county ticket? It may be the shrewd Democrat bosses feel that if the Progressive party in Wayne county has a county ticket .only so far as congressman, representative and joint representative are concerned, that this will work to the advantage of the Democrat party, state and national. They may figure that the Progressives, after voting their own ticket, if they wish to vote for candidates for the rest of the county officers, must then turn to the Republican or Democrat county tickets. This means that every Progressive will be voting a scratch ticket. The Democrat bosses may shrewdly calculate that out of thousands of such scratched Progressive ballots a- large proportion would not be marked correctly as happens in every election with the scratched ballots and that Wilson and Ralston would benefit thereby, while Roosevelt and Beveridge would be the losers. Undoubtedly many Progressive votes would be lost ln Wayne county through the necessity, engendered by having no complete county ticket, of voting another party's county ticket after voting the Progressive national, state and legislative-county tickets. The Palladium admits the force of that contention. Have the candidates on the Republican ticket, however, realized that every vote so lost on their account would not only be lost to the Progressive party but also to them? A voter who makes one mistake invalidates his entire ballot, as we understand the case. Do these candidates also realize that undoubtedly there will be many Progressives whose first thought will be for the Progressive party candidates and not the local county candidates, and that these voters, if they fear they cannot successfully vote a scratch ticket in order to helpt these candidates, will run no risk of losing their ballot for Roosevelt and Beverldge, but will vote a straight Progressive ticket? If this is the case then, the candidates on the local Republican ticket are face to face with another loss of votes that is, it will be serious if the rank and file of the Democrat party ln this county refuse to subscribe to the Democrat bosses' orders and insist on nominating a complete Democrat county ticket. And what would there be to prevent' the Democrats in the near future putting a partial county ticket in the field, and after, there was no more chanv.j for the present Republican nominees coming over on the Progressive ticket, filling the vacancies and presenting a complete Democrat county ticket to the voters of Wayne county? As we said Saturday, the right way out of a problem is the easiest way out. The candidates on the present Republican ticket are regarded as Progressive Republicans. We feel sure the Progressives will endorse the stand of the Palladium that these men should be nominated on the Progressive ticket and allowed to make their choice within a week thereafter, as to which ticket they will make their race on. In this way can the Progressives release themselves frjm any further obligation engendered by participation in the primary last spring. If the candidates are Progressives and can realize the false position they place themselves in when they remain on the Republican ticket for if they are Progressives it looks as though they were remaining there simply for tbe sake of obtaining the standpat vote they will welcome such a solution of the problem of the Progressive county ticket.

Teachers Should Not be Exempt From Examination. The question as to the validity of Principal Neff's license to teach in the Richmond schools and the right of a county superintendent to issue exemption licenses has raised a very vital question. It seems that it has been the custom of former county superintendents to issue an exemption license to any teacher who held a license to teach in any other part of the state. While this action is contrary to the law it has been in vogue in this county for several years. The action of County Superintendent Williams should be commended by the people of Wayne county. There is no phase of the state school system that is more important than the examination of the men and women who are to teach in the schools of city and county. School teachers become rusty and behind the times if they do not keep adding to their store of knowledge and constantly keep posted on the branches they are teaching. The examinations the law compels them to take, are incentives for continued study, and unless the law is enforced a teacher will become lax in his or her proficiency. The public school system touches J (.he very heart of every home, and when there is not a strict supervision over the qualifications of the teachers, we are overlooking a vital point. The omission may bring disastrous results later on. Superintendent Williams should call for the license of every teacher in Wavne county and if teachers are teaching without proper licenses, he should compel them to take the examinations as provided by law. ' We commend Superintendent Williams for his stand.

Hew to Keep Roses Fresh. Proper care of cut flowers will double their lease of life. Even hothouse roses, usually tbe shortest lived of blossoms, can be made to retain their beauty and fragrance for two weeks if one will take tbe trouble to boll the stems. . To do this set a pan of hot water on the stove and when the water begins to boil place the stems of the flowers ln the water to the depth of one Inch. Hold the flowers carefully to prevent their touching the aides or bottom of the pan. Allow them to boll fifteen or twenty minutes. Remove tbe flow ers and clip off the portions of the stems that were la the water. They are then ready to be arranged In the vase or bowl. Many persons have poor success In keeping cut flowers because they do not put fresh water into flower vases every day. The stems of the flowers should be clipped every'day to enable them to take up more water. Never leave cut flowers ln a warm room overnight Set them ln a cool place. Impossible.

THE ADOPTION DANCE. Curious Ceremonial of Taking a Chile Into Shawnee Tribe. The adoption dance Is one of the ceremonial dances of the Shawnee. This Is quite different from any one of the festive dances. They come , tnsny miles around and camp. Their , faces are painted and their person decorated with beads. They dance all day and night without eating. A bonfire Is built In the center of the camp, and they daoc around this. Tbe fire Is kept burning about the same all the time. This serves also as their light - The adoption dance Is rather quiet, more so than the other dance. The women do most of the singing. aa? a writer In the Revl Man. and ains very low. They dance around the circle In twos. The men dance together In front and the women together in the rear. The two leaders In front are usually the ones who are adopting the child. They carry tin pal'- ta ar rubber balls, which bounce and keep time with the drummer. This Is all the music they have to dance by. If a large crowd Is assembled they mar have two or three drums. At these dances good order Is kept. No drunkenness Is allowed. The dance Is ln a grove, and If any one doea not behave decently they tie him to a tree for the rest of the dance. After the dance they have a great feast, which lasts all day. and visitors and all others who attend the dance are Invited to partake of the feast.
