JUDGE DEPENDS DIVORCE.
After all the fulmlnation against
divorce by prlesta, purists, theorists
and those who bare never bad any
experience in the navigation of matri
monial seas, pea<5eful, stormy and
otherwise, the few remarks of Henry
B. Brown, retired justice of the su
preme court of the United States,
are worth heeding.
No man is entitled to more respect
fu! htaring than Judge Brown. For
years ho was ? leading, aunaervativd
lawyer In tut eminently conservative
?nd moral city of Detroit. Later he
was for years United States Judge in
that city. All the time he was a
most eminently respectable member
of Detroit's best social set, generous,
liberal, upright and the highest type
of American man.
Commenting on Cardinal Gibbons'
recent objections tp divorce, Judge
Brown says:
"The head of the Roman Catholic
church In America, a man for whom
I have the most profound respect, has
painted divorce as 'a monster license
by the laws of Christian states to
break hearts, to wreck homes and to
ruin souls.' This is certainly a grue
some picture.
"No system of laws adopted by an
idealist 100 years ago and taught by
a following of pious and conscientious
enthusiasts can maintain its authority
forever, however exalted its origin, if
It run counter to the traditions, cus
toms and general moral standing of
the people.
"A proper regard for the Interests
of the state as well as the preserva
tion of domestic happiness would see
to require that when the whole obli
gation of the matrimonial pact had
been defeated by the habitual, persist*
ent and uncontrollable conduct of
either party and that relation which
should represent the scene of human
happiness made to stand for all that
is most repugnant to our desires and
anticipations, a severance of the ties
should be permitted. The story of
domestic unhappiness is only too fa
miliar." ? Tacoma Tribune.
THE CHANGING SEASONS.
The summer's gone a-scooting wher I
ever summers go; the fall comes cal>;
hooting, and soon we'll have the
snow; the nights are growing chilly,
the flies are looking silly, the peeler
with his billy gets after Richard Roe.
We shiver in the shadow, so eager is
the air; the horses in the meadow ara
growing winter hair; the leaves are
trampled under, and bards begin to
wonder how in the name of thunder
they'll raise the bill of fare. We
dread the wintry weather, that soon
will be on file; the snow upon the
heather, the ice upon the stile; ex
perience has taught us to dread the
blasts that spot u9, the snowballs
hard that swat us ? such things forbid
a smile. Yet there are compensa
tions upon life's solemn shore; and
summer's tribulations for divers
months are o'er; these mercies shoul
requite us; the flies no longer fight
us; mosquito? cease to bite us, and
chiggers chlg no more. ? Walt Mason.
PIONEER PRESS ENDORSES HOM0
RULE.

from Delegate James Wickersham las
Saturday asking us to Join with him
in sending a request to President
Taft when he arrived io Seattle ask
ing that he recommend that Congress
paiffl a bill creating a territorial leg
islature for Alaska. The Pioneer
Press wired Mr. Wickersham heartily
endorsing the proposed move, as It
knows it to represent the sentiments
of an overwhelming majority of tbe
people of Haines.? Haines Pioneer

Oh. the draped silent head,
The empty shield!
Kins the swift moveless feet
That won their goal:
Crown the unseeing brow.
Joy to that deathless soul;
What of tho gallant hearts,
Slain, that llvo on.
?Who en< their dally bread
When Joy Is done?
Nay. not. for them the wreath.

Theirs to taste morn and night
The sword within their throat.
What of the gallant hearts,

God of tho shrouded hands.

Good Kitchen Company.
One housewife in this town doesn't
know anything about the servant prob
lem, at least so tnueli of It as has to
do with the keeping of a maid of all
work, the Quality of such service not ;
being counted. This is because her j
servants always become devoted to her
because of her brightness and mag
nanimous treatment of them. Having i
only the one servant of doubtful skill
and accomplishments, this housewife L
has to spend a good deal of time in
her own kitchen. Tho other day Julia
expressed her appreciation this way: j
"Miss Fanny, yo' ce'tlnly is good
kitchen comD'uv."? Louisville Times.
