Exclusive vs. Liberal.
Fifty yearn bm;k, moro op loss, It wan
considered a trrcnt virtue to be a man
of liberal mind and, In a annuo, It still la
a very nobln trnlt nf chnrnctcr. lint,
since then, the times have chnntfed
somewhat iind men have clinnifeit with
them. Now thoro aro two oxtrrnii'H,
that of bi'lnjf too exclusive and that of
being too liberal; and It seem an If we
were on the march toward the latter
extreme, which, to lire a long term, Is
sometimes culled ladltiidlnHrianlsm.
In cxtrotnoly liberal times one can
well alTord to be a little exelusivb; In
deed, It would almost be a virtue to be
an, for In inch an ago It 1m well nigh Im
possible to bo true to the fundamental
principles of any art or science without
being nmdit tlin victim of such henorn
ble tltla as those: stiff, bigoted, strict,
otn. Who would not feel honored with
all these high degree conferred upon
him by the great college of the people,
especially In a luditudiiiurlun ago? It
would glvo him the privilege of very
properly wearing a high hat and defy
any man to tread on the tall of his coat.
Only he should koop enough of that
excollent arllelo, "Humility," which Ih
before honor, and without which noono
Is entitled to put on a high hat, how
ever great and honorable he may be In
v other rosiiects.
I do not moan to say that we are now
so excessively liberal, but only that we
aro gutting a littlo too froo with some
of our dreamy notions errors, perhaps,
stalking about und axklng for the sumo
respect that truth gets. I would not bo
much surprised If ogo would rlso tip,
mime of those days, and toll us that It Is
his opinion that twice two Is six, and
ask the same respect for It as If ho had
Bald four, and told the truth.
Iraiah A. Swartz.
A lady of Reynoldsvllle was cen
suring President MoKinley a few days
go for not declaring war with Spain,
and the Question was asked her If she
would be willing to have hor husband
join the army if the two nations would
engage In war. She said "No." There
Is a great doal of patriotism being heard
now days that la only tongue deep, and
If war were declared many of the store
box loafers, who are bubbling over now,
would sneak off and hide If Uncle Sam
would send to Reynoldsvllle forsoldiors.
Some of the people are too Impatient.
They think the United States nhould
declare war with Spain over the Maine
disaster before the real facta are made
known. Some of the dally papers, that
are over anxious to give sensational
news to the public, are to blame, large
ly, for the war spirit In our country to
day, and yet these papers cannot give
their readers anything definite. A few
days ago we picked up a dally paper
and read that the Maine had been
blown up by tho Spaniards, and In the
same article the statement was made
that It was not known posttlvoly how
the disaster had happened. Another
thing to take Into consideration Is this,
that every day of dolay la bolng Im
proved by the United States In prepar
ing for war, if such shall be tho final
result. Whllo some people complain
because the President don't precipitate
our country into war with Spain, we
give him credit for using good sound
judgment In the matter, and are glad
have a cool-headed man at the holm of
the nation. - '
If the tramp Is to be eradicated he
must be compelled to work winter and
, summer until he Is willing to seek and
continue to work on his own account,
and, falling In this, be should be kept
at work for the publlo Indefinitely. In
order to compel him to work he must
be given something to do, and the in
dustry that Is capable of readiest adap
tion to the solving of the tramp problem
la that of road-making. The tramp
should work the roads, not tramp them
at his own will.
The State Live Stock Sanitary board
has made the regular appropriation of
10,000 for the work of March, April
and May. Bute Veterlan Pearson re
ported that 1,400 herds of cattle had
been examined and that 300 herd re
mained to be examined. Be was direc
ted to ttriotly enforce the law requiring
the Inspection of oattle brought to this
state lor breeding purposes.
It will be worth while to watch these
people who are "plugging" for war In a
time of peace, just for the sake of seeing
t-n "root" for peaos in a time of war.

Man's Beat Friend.
First and foremost woman Is man's
best friend:
Because she la his mother.
Second, because she Is his wife.
Ik-cause without her he would be
rough and ungodly.
Because she can with him endure
gain and quietly meet joy gladly.
Because she la patient with him in
illness, endures his fretfulness and
mothers him.
Because she teaches him tho value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and
consideration.
Because on her breast ho can shed
tears of repentance and he la never re
minded of thom afterward.
iwchuso snn win suck to a man
through good and evil report and al
ways believe In him If she loves him.
Because when he Is behaving like a
fretful boy and they all do, you know
at times with no reason In tho world
for It, woman's soft word, touch or
glanco will make him ashamed of him
self, lis he ought to be.
Because without her as an Incentive
ho would grow lazy; there would bo no
good work done, there would be no no-
blo books written; there would bo no
beautiful pictures painted, there would
tie no dlvino strains of melody.
Because man would amount to noth
lng without woman.

And see thue over there,

Nor our aching hearts despair.
We do miss thee, yes we miss thee,
And oureyea with tears do swell,

Ever doeth all things well.
