T'io lypo of liKiulrer mentioned by Dr. Sli"l(lnn is lint rare. young man who has fioltu! himself almost Into an lllnrs.s liivmise he i. i,ol rich, re marked tli- otlnr d.iy within our hear ing that there Is no room In the world for .-n ambitious young man who wants to do the sonar" thin; hi busi ness and keep his word; that he jroU no sort of chance and Is being: contin ually crowded to the wall by the un scrupulous and over-reaching union? his fellow.?. He sees them growing wealthier while he s.iln.s no step up ward on the l.idder of success, whlcn lie strives to ascend by straight methods and sincere effort: and the consequence is that he has grown dis satisfied and Is almost persuaded that he will follow the example of shrewd, advancine men around him who are not troubled with fastidious notions ic gar.llng the adjustment of means to ends. This young man. ei-i tionally well endowed with brain capacity, is In such basic to become rich that h legards with impatience the small ad--antagcs of his every day life and bo- liiiifcp his means are small believes them loo meager to retain his self icspoct and llings his money away on wine dinners, surpassingly good dress, theaters, etc.. not in the least restrain ing his discontent with his circum stances and the handicap under which be struggles because of his ideals of what a mnn should b in business. The fact is that he has tossed away in dally extravagance Hie big nucleus of a colossal fortune: he has been un able to deny himself any luxury which by any honest means could be obtained and has held' in contempt the small beginnings of what thrift and energy totild hae made a lever with which to move the world. Mis complaint should be aimed at his own self. The great diflleulty with the young man of tortav is that his extravagant tastes load him to disdnln the humbler method!-- which have laid the founda tions of fortune!! In the past genera tions. It is veritably an age of luxury and the man who a quarter of a cen tury ago would have grown ilch on a Hilary ot- $1,200 a year because he would have managed to live en halt of it if not less, finds it now all too small for his countless needs, and debt or some times embezzlement Is the result. There ur- opportunities for fortune making today fur Hie man who keeps bis c,yes open and who lays away enough money every year to form a land lor Investment von in a small way. 'The complaint Hint the trusts aie squeezing out every ambition of Hie young business man Is e.nly true In p.ut If line at all. Ho Mini more than his father earned, but be saves less. He cannot deny himself Hie accompaniments of wealth and prodigality. The honest man, the thrifty man, the earn est .nan has .lust as gooft a chance to day as ever he had, bur. If ho Is will ing to make no xieilLee, to .submit to no Imidshlps, the opportunity prob ably passes him by, Nor Is homly uupiofltabk.

All that was required to secure it dissolution of irksome marital bonds was for one of the con tracting parties to provo ninety duys' icsldence within tho territory, hiro a lujvyer and pay tho iiocessar-i'ees, Ad vertisement of suit could be hidden In the Tnost obscure publication und the defendant leculved no other nntlllcu Hop. Diulng tin. operation of this law Oklahoma became a Mecca for the matrimonially discontented and hotel prpprietors, as well ns lawyers, court officials and business men generally, reyeled In prospeilly, The class of tourists in search of dlvoico was in tho main a wealthy class and tool; with It plenty of money to make itjerry the three months' period of enforced wait Ing. Tho average issue of divorces was 1500 ti year; and If each canrtidatft spent np more than $100 most of them oaat ten times as much here was j.' - 'y'f,' $150,000 a year Income, lite bulk nf It clear profit. Two years ago a lofoim wave swept over this budding western common wealth and Hie divorce law wiih amend e-d to requite n year's residence. M'hc coiiHequence was a ledttutlon of :ttl 1-.1 per cent, In the number of divorces, Tltero stilt aie about 1,000 divorces a year, a fact which sheds doubt upon the ulllcrtcy of tin leform, but the loss of lite other u0 Is profoundly lamented In business circles and advices ftom (illthrlo arc to the effect that u de termined effort Is to be ninde to cause the Incoming tetrllurlal legislature to go hack to the financially more pios perous nluotyday basis. It hnrdly needs to be added Hint In the Interest of public decency this proposition should be squelched. While no mitti Is Indispensable, It Is the general testimony of men In public life that the loss of Cuslimnu K. Davis from the United States senate nnd especially from Its committee on foreign affairs, of which he was chair man, Is the most serious loss which could have been .sustained. He was the highest American authority on lutcrimtlonn! law and a tower of stienglh In the handling or inter national nlfatis. Moreover he was u robust, fearless and outspoken Ameil can, in touch with the best sentiments and aspirations ot his countrymen and he enjoyed their undivided confidence and icspect. Few chapters In the peisonal history or our country's lead ing men are moie pathetic than his striking down In the zenith of great usefulness by a seemingly trivial ac cident and his painful battle with the ensuing physical complications a hat He made tragic by his Intermittent outcries for strength to complete cer tnin duties of public service which he feared his death might hazard. Scientific Temperance Reform. o NIC CRITICISM of long standing against much ot the contemporary aglta- tfition In favor of temperance leform that it seeks to accomplish the impossible cannot be brought against the proposition, said to be un der consideration by the Women':? Christian Temperance union of In diana, to ask of congress legislation calculated to enforce and maintain the purity of all liquors offered for sale In the I'nlted States. .lust how this is to be done Is a mat ter for further Inquiry, but the old truism occurs to mind that where there's a will there's a way. It is fre quently asserted and commonly be lieved that the adulteration of intoxi cants prevails to a greater extent In the I'nited States than in any other country: and it Is said that In certain other countries, notably Germany, the hand of the law Is placed in much more effective restraint upon methods of production and sale designed to cause a deterioration in the quality of the liquor sold. There aie those utterly opposed to the prohibitive theory who would witli great cheerfulness co-operate in any vell-consldered movement to enforce a closer Inspection of liquors with a view to eliminating fraudulent prac tices or deleterious ingredients. An in telligent campaign along this lino would undoubtedly effect much bene fit. As the muddle caused bv ti.iusillon Into the second class cities grows in public appreciation, Hie wisdom be comes apparent of having members of flic legislature for city and county who sire in sympathy with the pievailing Influences at ilarrisburg and thereforo In position to attain legislative ends. A bolter would bo of scant use to his constituents. Tuition by Experience. I X Tlire December Forum .1.

It lo this protest had been added a declara tion In favor of cremation, the sani tary aspects of the problem wottl-l have been pretty well covered.

If a president of the United Stntes Is worth only iJ.W.OOO a year the county ofllclnl who gets half as much for watching a deputy do the work Is receiving more than he Is worth.
