SHANHOM LECTURES.
An Immense  Amount of   Good
Was  Done Here.
On Monday evening Prof. Shannon
of Delaware, Ohio, closed a series of
lectures in this city.    About the only-
regret to be expressed in connection
with the matter   is   the   fact   that so
f6w heard them.     While  the attendance   on   all   of   tbem was very fair,
and   indeed   on   some of them good,
still it was not   what   it   should have
been.        Everyone,      especially     the.
young,    should    have    heard     them, j
The community is under   great   obli-1
gation to Mr. Gibbs, wbo was instru- j
mental in getting him here.    It would I
be a most   excellent   investment   for
any state to employ such a man at a
salary of SIO.OOO a year   and   let   him
devote his entire   time   to   educating
the   young   of   the   state   along   the
lines of his special work.
That Mr. Shannon is devoted to
his work and deeply in earnest, one
soon discovers. He does not spare
himself in the least and is apparently ready for any occasion that
promises good. He gave five addresses on Sunday and four on Monday and seemed glad to have the
bovs or anyone come to him for information or advice.
We heard most of these addresses
and would be glad, did space permit,
to give an abstract of them all. We
cannot do this but will notice more
particularly one of them which will
give an idea of tbe spirit of the man.
We believe the testimony of everyone who heard bim will be that be
is an earnest, sincere man, actuated
by a desire to be of service to humanity.
On Sunday morning he delivered
at the Congregational church an address on ''The Power That Lifts,"
giving an exposition of the parable
of the vine and the husbandman.
It was a very tine address and received close attention. At 2:30 he
gave a talk to men and older boys,
full of facts that all ought to know,
and conveyed in chaste, proper language. At four o'clock he addressed
a meeting at the Methodist church,
illustrating how the parents should
tell "The Story of Life'" to the child.
In the evening the Methodist
church was comfortably rilled to
hear an earnest, stirring address on
the chief factors in the development
of a life. Mr. Shannon is a firm believer in heredity and the important
part it plays in any life.
On Monday he gave three talks at
the school house, one to the boys
and a few men who had gathered,
another to the girls and women, and
a third to a mixed audience.
On Monday evening the Methodist
church was again comfortably filled
to hear an address on "The Double
Standard." This he characterized
as a relict of barbarism, something
from the days when might was supposed to make right, the greatest inconsistency of any age, the monster
corse of civilization, the greatest
agency of race degeneration. All respectable women should demand
that men rise to their standard. All
respectable men should be ashamed
to live on a moral plane below the
one they bold for tbeir mothers,
wives, sisters and lady friends. This
beastly, monstrous relic of the dark
ages must be outgrown.
In the days of barbarism, fathers
sold tbeir daughters on the marriage
market and their sons bought their
wives. Chastity was demanded of
women. Father, son, husband or
sweetheart considered it a special
honor to cast the first stone to kill
the erring daughter., mother, wife or
sweetheart. Jew and Gentile alike,
Christian, Mohammedan or Buddist
have insisted strongly on chastity in
women, but not one of them has
made a like demand upon men.
In the public mind, the double
standard of morals is limited to un-
chaatity. This is only one phase of
tbe double standard of morals. Just
to tbe extent that men, more than
woman, are addicted to profanity,
tobacco and alcohol, are these habits
a part of the double standard of
morals. Our daughters may cress
tbe continent, or travel around the
world and never be tempted to engage in profanity, chew or smoke tobacco, drink beer or whiskey or sow
their "wild oats." Onr six-year-old
bays cannot walk down tbe street*
off tbeir own town wttboot being
tempted to use profanity and tobacco. Wben they are IS to 15 tbey
associate witb boys or men
without being tempted to drink and
tneir "wild oats." Ali boys
want to be men. All girls waat to

A church in Santa Rosa, Cal , bas
tbe distinction of being built from
the timber of one tree, a gigantic
redwood that grew in Mendocino Co.
The pews were also made from tbe
tree. The spire is 100 feet high, tbe
audience chamber seats -100 people,
and the parlor 100. A pastor's study,
12 by 20 feet, is also in the building.
The church cost $5000. Only two-
thirds of the tree was needed to construct the church. After the roof
was finished it was discovered that
there were 60,000 shingles   left   over. ;

ural and hopeful. Children are born
imitators. They imitate wbat tbey
see and bear in those they admire
and long to be like. Questionable
habits are often more impresssive
and attractive to a child than elements of real character. Especially
is tbis true if tbe indulger dresses
well, is prosperous in bis business,
agreeable socially and a leader
among boys and men. Children are
taught to look with disgust upon all
bad habits when indulged in by the
poor and degraded classes, while the
children easily see tbe same habits
are tolerated, condoned, excused
when engaged in by the better
classes. Tbey come to think that
certain habits that are to be condemned wben engaged in by degraded men, are evidences of manliness wben engaged lc by gentlemen.
Tbe degraded classes have lost
their influence npon inspiring yontb.
It is tbe respectable classes who are
responsible for tempting boys to
form bad babits. With irresistible
influence tbey are silently saying:
"These babits are respectable wben
indulged in by a gentleman. Yen
can never be a man until you have
formed one or more of these habits "
To every girl they are saying:
"These are privileges that belong exclusively to men and boys. If you
indulge in these babits, you will be
excluded from respectable society,
denied courtship, marriage, wifehood
and motherhood." This is our double standard of morals, permeating
our society and perverting onr social
and moral judgments.
Wben boys, tbe victim* ot a doable
standard of morals, become criminals, we build jails, reformatories
and penetentiaries, scaffolds and
electric chairs for tbeir detention
or destruction. Mncb of oar modern
ideas of reform is to punish tbe offender, while we have a double
standard public sentiment whicb approves and fosters tbe Inconsistences
whicb iead boys to become criminals.
In tbe past respectable society baa
taken little offense at immorality
among men. Tbe erring woman and
unfortunately born children bave
been Inh«»»»t»»» .*** »n lastly treated,

How Did You Die?
Edmund Vance Cooke.
Did yon tackle tbat trouble tbat came
your way
Witb a resolute heart and cbeerful?
Or bide yonr face from tbe light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Ob, a trouble's a ton   or  a trouble's
an ounce,'
Or a trouble is what you make it
And it isn't the fact that  you're hurt
tbat counts,
But only bow did yon take it.
You are beaten to earth?   Well, well,
what's tbat?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to  fall down
flat
But to lie there—that's disgrace.
The harder you're  thrown,  why the
higher you bounce,
Be proud of your blackened   eyel
It isn't tbe fact tbat you're licked
tbat counts,
It's how did you fight—and why?
And though you be done to tbe deatb,
wbat then?
If you battled the best you could.
If you played your part in   the world
of men,
Why, tbe critic will call it good.
Deatb comes witb a crawl, or  comes
witb a pounce,
And whether hes slow or spry.
It isn't tbs fact tbat you're dead tbat
counts,
Bnt only, how did you die?

The Parable Of The   Tightwad.
And it came to pass that a certain

And tbe deacons, going to bim,
spake words of praise about the weather and in the end bintetb that tba
Lord lovetb a cheerful giver.
But be of tbe tight wad fell to railing, saying, Not a jitney will I chip
in, for behold, a year bath passed
and not once hatb tbe preacher carried at mine bouse to call.
And tbe deacons, reporting these
things to tbe preacher, beard bim
say
It is even so. I bave failed In my
duty.   I will make amends.
And behold, in tbe next twelvemonth the preacber goetb out of bis
way four times to cal! upon the man
and to speak words of kindness and
cbeer.
And wben the time bad come again
to chip in and it was seen tbat tbis
certain man bad not worked through
witb bis bit, the deacons waited upon
bim with tbeir mitt* extended.
But be laugbetb and waggetb bis
bead and sayetb, Nothing is being
done. Behold, did I not board tbe
preacber and bis horse enongb to
make up my share of his stipend?
Even so.
And the deacons, returning, meditated upon the length of tb6 way to

To Adjourn April 29.
Both houses of our legislature have
agreed upon April 29 as tbe date of
final adjournment, so tbe end is ciose
at hand. By a small majority the
house refused to pass tbe senate bill
granting increased rates to tbe railroads, and doubtless tbis ends all attempts at legislation along tbat line
at tbis session. It is said that tbe
roads will take the matter to the
courts, basing tbeir action on the decision in tbe West Virginia case
wherein it was declared tbat tbe
rates fixed were confiscatory. It remains now to be seen wbetber some
of the roads will now carry out tbe
step declared by tbem to be necessary, vis. take off some of tbe trains
now running and still farther lessen
tbe service tbey are rendering.
Next week we will give a summary
of tbe important bills passed at tbis
session. Very likely tbe work of the
present legislature will not be entirely satisfactory to anyone and
very likely will be more or less disappointing to many.
GLEAN UP DAY
the sheep-killing dog.
Sheep-killing doge, it is said, are
the principal cause of tbe marked
decrease in the number of sbeep on
-Vmerican farms. In the 10 years between 1900 and 1910 the number of
sbeep in the country, exclusive of
tbe states in tbe western division
decreased 3,900,000 head, in face of
tbe fact tbat during these same years
the market value of sbeep rose so
rapidly that the total value of sbeep
in this area was 819.000,0 0 or approximately 25 per cent more in 1910
tban in 1900. Favorable though the
market conditions were, they were
not a sufficient incentive to induce
farmers to risk the heavy losses from
stray dogs.
The  number   of   sheep   killed    annually by dogs cannot be   stated   exacted,   since there   are   many   cases
which are not reported at ail.    Judging from tbe figures in those counties
and states in whicb   reasonably complete   reports   are   obtainable,    how-
I ever,  it  may   be   said   that in the 36
I farm states more tban   100,000   sbeep
| are killed each year by  dogs.      This,
i it is true, is less than   1   per   cent   of
I the   total   number   of  sheep   in   this
I area, but a 1 per cent loss on a business   tbat   is   being   conducted   on a
] profit basis of -5 or 6 per cent can not
not   be   ignored.     Tbis   estimate,   it
must be remembered, ia   also   probably much lower than   the   actual   figures.      It is  certain,   too,   that many
men bave been kept  out of the ebeep
business   through   fear   that   in their
own particular cases the   loss   would
be much more tban 1 percent.    Anyone   wbo    has   actually   seen   sheep
killed, injured or frightened   by dogs
is likely to think twice before engaging in   the business.     In many cases
j while only one or two  sbeep   may be
actually bitten by tbe dogs, the whole
flock is chased until it dies  from   exhaustion.
If the dog question could be satisfactorily disposed of, there seems to
be no reason why the number of
sbeep in tbe country could not be increased to the extent already indicated. In Great Britain there is one
sheep or iamb for eacb 2.5 acres of
the total area. In tbe 36 farm states
in tbis country there is one sheep or
lamb for eacb 31.8 acres.

WEATHER REPORT
To Supply Forecast For Farmers
And Shippers.
A new weekly forecast, designed
to aid farmers in planning their farm
operations, and shippers in handling
perishable products with reference
to expected weather conditions, waa
inaugurated Apr. 20 by tbe U. 8.
Weather Bureau and will continue
daring tbe crop season. To bave
tbese forecasts reach the farmers
and shippers in small towns with the
least possible delsy, the burean has
arranged a system whereby tbe forecast will be taken Tuesday and reach
tbe weekly newspapers on Wednesday, in time for most of them to use
in tbeir weekly edition. The forecast for tbe region of the Great Lakes
will come from Grand Rapids.
For the week beginning Apr. 20,
tbe forecast for this region is: "Fair
and moderately cool weather will
prevail tbe first half of tbe week;
tbe latter part of tbe week will be
warmer with some probability of unsettled weather and showers."
ciplee and performances of one party
and tbe mistakes and alleged incapacity of another party. The object of
the new organization is thus concisely stated in tbe preamble to its con
stitution, which ba8 not until now
been made public:
American history proves the wisdom of past policies and principles
of the Repuolicsn party and demonstrates the soundness and superiority
of that party's constructive plans-
Believing that return to Republican
administration in both the legislative
and executive branches or tbe National Government is the shortest
road to restoration of permanent.
prosperity in both government and
industry, we hereby associate ourselves together for the purpose of securing a wider publicity for tbe
achievements, policies and principles
of the Republican party hoping thereby to promote the individual and
community welfare of al! tbe American people.
Tbe genesis of this unique organization is interesting. It was born in
tbe stirring days just preceding the
close of the Sixty-Third Congress,
wben a president of the Cnited States
bad reached the climax in a series of
unprecedented efforts to bend a reluctant Congress to his will in legislation. The height of executive boldness bad been reached in his struggle
to impose upon the country a bill for
a Government-owned merchant marine wbich had so little support outside the White House that of fifty-
three Democratic senators only
twelve are said sincerely to bave favored it, while tne Republicans were
unanimous iu opposition. At tbia
pbycbological moment a grocp of
distinguished Republicans met in
Washington to discuss tbe idea proposed by one of their number of organizing a movement to educate tbe
country scientifically upon tne merits
of the Republican and tbe demerits
of tbe Democratic party.
In tbe execution of tbe work of
publicity especial emphasis will bo
laid upon tbe business aspect of legislation and of political policies. By
means of fair and impartial treatment
tbe business man will be shown bow
his interests are likely to be affected
by one party or one policy or another. The chief means of publicity
need will be the press, and to tbe end
that all its output may be scientifically prepared and distributed, the association will compile charts sbowing
the most minute detail physical conditions in every city, town and hamlet in the country. Tbese charts will
give tbe director of the work such
detailed information of newspapers,
readers and voters in every State,
along witb all otber facts tbat may indicate tbe characteristics and needs
of tbe community, tbat be can adapt
his methods in every case to ensure
the publicity most useful to tbe people whom it is sought to interest.
Persons familiar witb tbe exhaustivo
methods of Senator Bourne in connection witb bis legislative work need
not be convinced tbat be will bring to
tbis new task a depth of insight and
an accomplishment of skill tbat will
prove extremely useful.

East Lansing, Mich., April 21.—
