THE INNER STRENGTH. The value of health? ’Tis worth far more Than caskets of jewels And millions in store. More priceless than all, That men seek to gain By sweat of the brow And bodily pain. And yet, if the soul Os a toiler is strong, It matters but little What else may be wrong, The weakest arm may Be brave and reliant, A feeble frame hold The heart of a giant. —Paul Cook. R CLEANING A STATE. (The New York American.) It was to be expected that the peo ple of South Dakota would weary, after a while, of having their state fa mous for the divorces granted within I its borders. The old-fashioned notion about taking a husband or wife for bet ter or for worse still prevails very generally throughout this country, and the advertising South Dakota receiv ed because it supplied easy divorces devotees of the trial-marriage plan I'ured for it a reputation that was pt to the liking of its citizens. , South Dakota has not only rid itself f an evil name, but it has set an ex ellent example to sister common ealths. If New Jersey, following the ;ad of the western state, will now roceed to make it known to the world nat Jersey trusts will be as much a hing of the past as Dakota divorces, he entire country will benefit richly. •t SOCIALISM IS UTOPIAN. (Dr. D. J. Stafford, Catholic.) .. “If it be the tenet of socialism that avery man should have the wherewith for the fullest development of his tal ents and gifts, that development of gifts and talents, different in them selves, will necessarily make the in dividual unequal. A state of individ ual equality, then, is neither possible nor desirable. “What is the use of dreaming of Utopias and thinking of conditions that can never be realized? The thing to do is to make the most of the pres ent, develop the good that is in it; de stroy the evil; and this is the only possible way to bring about a better condition for the future. Most les sons of history have been learned only in suffering. Woe to the world if we must repeat the experience!” HOODOO NUMBERS. (The New York Herald.) Wilmington, Delaware, produced the inampion thirteen story. Francis E. Oavis, with thirteen letters in his lame, was arrested by Patrolman Francis G. Green (ditto) at thirteen ninutes past 10 on January 13, the :all going in from box No. 13. At hirteen minutes past 9 the next day ie was arraigned before Edwin R. Jochran (thirteen letters again), and tis fine and costs totaled exactly >l3. Miss Margaret Schidu, of Cleveland, >n August 23, sent invitations to twen y-three friends to attend her twenty hird birthday, September 23, at 23 ilast Twenty-third street. An orches ra of twenty-three pieces discoursed ;wenty-three dances from behind twen ty-three palms. The other hoodoo digits came up twice in April, once when a Baltimore larky was arrested for stealing thir teen chickens, and again at St. Louis, where a baseball “fan” fell dead of leart disease during the thirteenth in ilng of the St. Louis-Pittsburg game. IT’S STILL “EXPECTED.” (The Louisville Courier-Journal.) “It is expected that the president will say something in his next mes sage about the tariff,” says a corre spondent. It was expected in 1905, and in 1906, but in 1907? NOT IN THE SAME CLASS. (The Richmond Times-Dispatch.) A vindicated senator, however, is not altogether in the same class with one who has never required any vin dication. R Where Law Didn't Protect. Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier ras, in an address in Oakland, attacked the trusts. “What if their sins are legal?” he added. “They are sins, none the less, and I wish, when trusts sin legally, we could prevent the law from pro tecting them, I wish, in short we could all act as one of our Oakland farmers did last year. “He, one day last year, found a score of men putting up telephone poles all over his best field. He ordered the men away, but they wouldn’t go. They showed him a paper that gave them authority to put up their poles wher ever they wished. “The old man looked at the paper, saw it was lawful, walked away in si lence. He went to the barn and turned a savage red bull into the field. “The bull made for the men, the men fled at top speed, and the farmer shouted after them: “ ‘Show him your paper! Show him your paper!’” Brother Jeffersonian, Get up a Club and send it in at once. imiiiiiiiiiiiiii in uiiiniiiii-m«iiimTiiTrOT»ii^^ — THE WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN ATLANTA, GA.
