It is not necessary for Him to use a riot gun on tne crowd to lay one offender low. I FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1912. He is not compelled to hurl general catastrophes to "destroy an individual sinner. God struck down Ananias and Sapphira in- the midst of a crowd. He did not kill the crowd to punish two sinners.

It is God's way to spare many sinners for the sake of a few righteous, rather-lhan to kill many righteous to destroy one or two sinnejB. Rector George Chalmers Richmond and others of like mind misrepresent God when insinuating that the divine purpose in the destruction of the Titanic was to "get" John Jacob Astor. The Almighty could have struck Astor down without sacrificing a shipload.

God's vengeance is not of the Black -Hand type, reckless of consequence to many innocent in order to destroy one culprit. first attempt on the Titanic to "break all records." Surely the terrible feat was fully accomplished, with the blood of nearly 1,600 human beings to immortalize the record. A STATEMENT, alleged to have been issued at the dictation of the survivors, was sent broadcast last night, when the hapless survivors were landed in New York. It was not signed, it was more than apologetic for the criminal carelessness, the murderous neglect of the officers and directors of the White Star line. BAND PLAYING, the doomed ship went to her damp bed, two miles beneath the surface of a calm ocean.

And thus representatives of the wealth, the beattty, the genius, the brawn and muscle and the strength and of the nation perished, cruelly, pitilessly, helplessly. There was an appalling lack of necessary lifeboats. ALL might have been saved. 1 D0N'T FEAR, we 'will' into the life-boats" said J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the ill-starred line, the representative of the Speed Demon aboard the Titanic.

"NOBODY seemed to know how Mr. Ismay himself got into a life-boat" says the account of his "gallantry." Oh, he managed although aged Isidor Straus, philanthropist and aged Wil MAJ. ARCHIBALD W. D. BUTT, U.

A. a IIE true path to glory leads but to the grave and by his un-B timely death, along with the host of Titanic heroes, the proud nation may well pause in its mad race to the goals of greed and wealth and social position, to drop a tear, breathe a prayer and utter a note of admiration and regret for Archibald W. D. Butt, a major in the United States army, returning from duty abroad and sacrificing his own life so that a mother or a little child might take his place in one of the Titanic 's few, (alas, how few), life -boats.

Maj. Butt went abroad as the Taft, who sent a letter of congratulation to Pope Pius X. as a recognition of the honor the Pope, conferred on this country by the recent appointment of three cardinals. Every inch a true soldier and a worthy American, this Maj. Butt.

Formerly a newspaper writer in jouisville, he entered the army during the Spanish-American war and later became a member of he Philippines. He became aide de was retained as chief social factotum at the White House under President Taft, winning the regard and esteem of all victors there. He was of heroic mould and he died as be had lived, a true soldier. liam T. Stead, evangelist of morality, were left to perish.

WE'LL GET YOU ALL INTO THE LIFE-BOATS, said the Titanic liar, for he knew that the Titanic was woefully lacking in the needed life-saving boats, so this Mr. Ismay, a. second Judas Iscariot, knew that his ill-starred company, with the aid ot the Speed Demon, would deliver 1,595 human souls at the Judgment seat of God. Come with us, Mi. Ismay, and behold your dreadful work.

Look, far down. What do you see, Mr. Ismay 1,595 human bodies, far below, in the primeval slime of the awful oceAn, and their faces are turned upward to meet your gaze. "They look up with their pale and sunken faces, And their look is dread to see, For they mind yon of their angels in high places With eyes turned on Deity." They are cold, damp, dead, Mr. Ismay, in that deep and inaccessible tomb, but though dead, they speak to you.

What do these 1,595 voices in unison say "Tread onward to your throne and the mart, Our blood splashes upward, 0, gold-heaper."

"Fewer laws, more fish and game." said the speaker, "is a popular slogan with which th commission is in hearty accord. Tho transition from a conservative, to a more liberal policy must be necessarily slow, and conditions which still necessarily obtain require for the present the retention of features of the law which are undoubtedly too restrictive. This Is undoubtedly true with reference to some of the short seasons for taking fish and game and other limitations placed upon the angler and gunner. But with the securing of additional game frms and state hatcheries, promised in the conservation bill this year, the more liberal policy will be made possible.

The speaker said that it was now a generally accepted fact that the busy American people were becoming more and more in need of the healthful recreation in the out of doora which is best afforded by the rod and gun. to say nothing of the change of diet, wholesome fish and game freHh from the waters and woods. Unattached sportsmen could undoubtedly secure a great deal of pleasure, but like in all other matters of a public, or semi-public nature, best results could be attained for the Interested individuals and the body of sportsmen as a whole by organization, says the Albany Argus. The conservation law directly recognized the organized sportsmen of the state, he reminded his audience, for in section 171 it was provided that incorporated fish and game clubs could designate special protectors for their respective sections for appointment by the conservation commission. But the commission.

the speaker declared, went further than that, and invited the counsel and advice of the organized clubs on all matters pertaining to changes In the fish and game laws. to fish and game propagation and distribution, and to law enforcement. No law could be enforced, said Mr. Rochester has organized a del's superb "Creation:" magnificent surge, Break again on the verge, That the angels in Paradise linger beside Drift our hearts out to sea- I Into Heaven' with thee, Where thy cadence majestic, in. melody died."

Dear Miss Carew: From time to time I have received help from your answers, but nothing to help me in my present perplexity.

I am nineteen years old, and have been going with a girl five years my senior for nearly four years, and I think a great deal of her. I have been planning to go to college, but I must earn the money to go. In doing this I received a good position- which promises to give me about $2,600 a year. What I should like to do Is to marry this wung lady and give up college, but my parents are opposed. What would you advise me to do? A.

R. I think you are too young to marry now. You are not old enough, nor have you been around enough to really know your own mind. The girl being five years your aenior makes the risk even greater. If you were about twenty-five or seven, and in love with a girl of thirty thirty-two.

1 should say that after going with hr four years you ought to know whether your love was the sort that would endure, even though your wife were several years your senior. On the other hand to be candid I cannot say that 1 am very much in favor of sending boys to college unless they have decided ability for some special work and cannot get the training for it outside of the university. So many, many boys leave college leas real men than when they entered. If you Intend taking up a profession, college is tbe only course for you. but If you mean to be a business man I think the four years spent In college will prove a waste of time and money.

In making your choice remember that the professions, today, are already so crowded aa to give the great majority of their followers a. decidedly meager living. A man's chances for success in business are 100 to 1 compared with those he has In professional life, and If you have a chance of earnirg $2.00" a year now. and the position offers good opportunity for advancement. 1 think you will in taking immediate advantage of such an opening.
