Suicide, most inntnnchnly of ddiUhs,
Is brcominff more prwvalont every yenr.
Statistics show nn increase oven In tlio
UDltcd Stilton and In tho more crowded
cities of Europe- tho number of self-destroyers
is appalling.
In a recent debato before tho House
of Representatives on tho real valuo of
(rovornment distribution of seeds, one
congressman read a lottur from a rural
constituent who requested somo seud
and also suggested that ho needed a
pair of of pants and an overcoat very
badly. lie seemed under tho impres
sion that his generous Uncle Sam would
supply about anything acked for.
It is customary to think of Japan as a
now and thoroforo uncultured nation,
from tho fact of its recent entranco into
modern affairs. But if statistics count
for anything Japan is on a higher plane
of litorary culture than either the
United States or England. Tho best
Indication of this is the fact that last
year raoro books were Issued from the
presses of Japan than from either of
tho English speaking countries. More
surprising still is the fact that even
Russia excoeded the United States last
yoar In number of books produced.
It is Bomewhat embarraslng to the
government that just about the time
when everything was ready to lay a
fatherly hand on rebellious little Santo
Domingo, the Islandors of Puerto Rico,
whom we "benevolently assimilated"
Borao years ago, Bhould make a formal
domand to be recognized as citizens of
tho United States or given Independ
ence. It Is Improbable that Bhe will
get either, and that will not serve to
increase the affection between our

To acquire foreign possessions requires
only men and guns and the opportunity,
but to govern them in poaco requires
statesmanship of a high order.

HARMON'S
ONE PRICE SHOE STORE.
Negotiations are now under way for
the union of the Presbyterian and
Cumberland Presbyterian churches of
America, having a combined member
ship of over a million persons. It is one
of the most promising signs of advanc
ing refinement when men begin to for
got the narrow bonds of congregation
al creeds and dogmas and recopul.i the
great fact of universal brotherhood.
When Ben. Franklin was a young man
he meditated on a scheme fur the union
of all churches, creeds and beliefs In
the world with a wide and tolerant
general creed bound up in the golden
rule "Do unto others as ye would that
others should do unto you." There's
not much theology or mt'tupli.VHlc in
that rule, but Its practice wou'd do
more to reform tho world than a
thousand years of creed.
" A Ttiumph Scored. "
It was a splendid audience which
greeted the Students' Concert Company
of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music
and at the close of the evening's enter
tainment It was a highly delighted and
satisfied people who departed for their
homes. Too much cannot be said In
praise of each member of the company.
The effect of each number was the
same a triumph scored and the spon
tantety of applause, which Inevitably
followed, made a second appearance
necessary. -Ashtabula (Ohio) Daily
