The follies of the idle rich are
| convincing proof that stagnant
! lives, like stagnant, water, breed
corruption. And equally is it true
i that busy lives, like busy waters,
are generally pure.

FRIDAY, JAN. 20, 1911
Envious people very much pre-
fer to find fault than to give
p'aise.
Some men work harder to get a
divorce than they ever did to sup-
port a family.
The man who habitually fails to
do his duty has no right to expect
his life to be marked bv prosper-
ity
It is significant that the men of
vast fortunes do not seem to be en-
thusiastic over the income tax pro.
position.
Occasionally.something happens
in social life to make the public as-
sent to the statement "What fools
these mortals be." Certainly' that
must be'the feeling of every sensi-
ble person who reads the account
of the dinner given by a wealthy
lady in honor of her pet dog. The
guests who so forgot themselves as
to sit at the table at which the
dog, bearing a "best bib and tucker
was at the head doubtless thought
it a very smart thing and praised
their hostess for her ingenuity.
Probably on the whole the dog
comported himself most sensibly
of all the party: he could scarcely
do otherwise.
There is nothing truer than that
men are "members one of another."
The social instinct and mutual love
teach us that we were born for the
good of the whole and not to live
the selfish separate life.
Now that congress has enjoyed
its Christmas vacation it is to be
hoped,that when it reassembles it
may get down to business and pass
some useful laws. True it is the
short session, but it is sufficiently
long to enable it to do consider-
able good work if it has the dispo-
tion.
That the threatened great strike
of railroad men was averted t hrough
wise counsel and a judicious com-
promise is one of the most cheer-
ing things the new year has brought
us. Every such victory" for good
sense means not only the preven j
tion of an immediate dislocation
of business and of suffering, but it
also means a gain for the cause of
arbitration and of pacific agree-
ments. Some time or other in the
better day that is looming strikes
and lockouts will be regarded as
the crude and violent methods of a
past generation.
The talk of civil war in Ulster
if home rule is granted Ireland is
but the fervid imagination of some
oi the London correspondents to
the large American dailies and of
a few fiery Hotspurs. If home
rule is granted all denominations
will find themselves in the full and
unfettered enjoyment of their wor-
ship and belief. The hands of the
clock of civil and religious liberty
are not going to be set back in
any country in this twentieth cen-
turv.
The German Government will
make a huge blunder if it adopts
repressive measures against the
j Socialists. Causes usually thrive
on persecution as the history of
most nations conclusively shows.
Repression, whether political or
religious, of the rights of a people
is a survival of the Dark Ages an I
is singulary out of place in these
days. If the Emperor William
and his ministry want to defeat
socialism the proper and only ef-
fective way is by removing thosei
abuses that have made socialism
possible.
The death of Hoxsey and Mois-
sant seems to have temporarily
hecked the ardor for aviation, as
well it might. It is significant of
the craze for spectacular exhibi-
tions and the desire to make or
break a record that the majority of
deaths of aviators has been due to
that cause and not the cause of
science. If the deaths of these
and other men serve to put an end
to or even lessen the craze for cour-
ting death by novel and spectacu-
lar flights their sacrifice will not
have been in vain.
A year or two ago there was a
good deal of speculation as to
whether or not the planet Mars is
inhabited. Some enthusiasts not
only settled the canal question to
j their own satifaction but were sure
J they could soon get into direct
i communication with the Martians.
But Mars seems to have given
way to Venus, concering which
people are now being regaled with
stories that the inhabitants of that
planet enjoy conditions of life mi^ch
as the people of Earth do. Per-
haps that is so but people generally
will take more interest in earthly
Venuses than in the planet of that
name.
|£|To ruin one's health in a mad
quest for riches is foolish in the
extreme but it is often done. Not
long ago a multi-millionaire, who
had toiled day and night unremi-
tingiv for years to fill his coffers
and who succeeded at the cost of
his digestion, said that he would
gladly give a million dollars to be
able to enjoy an apple. Under
the circumstances was his wealth
worth to him what he sacrificed
in order to get it? That man is
wise who recognizing the desirabil-
ity of riches, yet realizes that one
may pay for them too heavy a
price.
Not unoften one comes across a
young man who "doesn't hold
down his job." It means usually
that the young,man shirks or feels
too big for his work, and, of course
nobody want§ him. Such a man
prefers to slouch through the world
with his hands in his pockets ra-
ther than do a honest day's work,
and if he marries his wife gener-
ally has to take iii washing or do
sewing in order £to keep him in
his laziness. Drastic measures
should be taken with such people
to make them work and they are
unfit to be classed as citizens.
The theatre going people are
lucky this season as the Opera
House management has made
arrangements with the ELI and
JANE company to give just one
performance of the celebrated
play here. All those attending
can rest assured of seeing a
strictly • high| class play. At
Turner HalL Jan. 24th.
The Wood Sisters with a
strong company, are in the city
holding forth at Turner HalL
St Elmo will be presented to
night, Friday. This is a very
interesting story and you will be
pleased with it.
