Taken Seriously by Many
In Nebraska
Lincoln, Neb., May ' (Special)—
Nebraska republican leaders contem
plate with illsmay the entrance of La
Follette Into th efleld as a third party
candidate. While the Wisconsin ♦sen
ator does not have a very !*"ge per
sonal following In the state, the
farm-labor movement Is strong po
litically. and a vigorous campaign

state giving him Its electoral vote.
Friends of Governor Bryan as n

the democratic and republican par

platforms that do not promise real

In the governor and the platform
which he caused the late democratic
state convention to adopt meet every
requirement laid down by 1-a Follette,
and that If the governor Is named
for president there will be no third
party.
The governor himself makes no
concealment of a similar belief. In
a statement given out to the report
ers he said that the whole question of
whether a third party will be formed
will be determined by the attitude of
the mlddlewest towards the candi
dates and the platforms named at

CHEERFUL GENEROSITY
"God loveth a cheerful giver.”—II
Cor. 9:7.
It is a common mistake to limit
our conception of generosity to those
who can give large gifts.
The lesson that Jesus taught us In.
his story of the poor widow and her
mite Is not yet popularly accepted.
It is perhaps trite to say that the
generosity of any particular gift de
pends on what the giver has to begin
with; but If we all realised It, It
would make an enormous difference
in our Use of the word generous.
We ought to look upon our money
as part of ourselves and when we
give to a cause we ought to give
with a cheerful epirit, rejoicing
that we are enabled to have a share
In that cause.
To give grudgingly, as If you ask
ed yourself, How sma.l a gift can I
give consistent with respectability?
Is not to ijlve at all in the spiritual
sense.
And yet how many of our gifvs,
even to worthy causes, eie made in
that way!
And hi-'v often we give, like S’r
Launfal to the beggar, scornfully, or
as the easiest way to be rid of Im
portunity.
It is the heart with tho gift that
makes It royal.
Many a church Is blessed with
gifts cheerfully given out of sac
rifice.
But many gifts are shorn of much
of their power by the perfunctory
and grudsing manner In which they
are made.
Whether we have little or much
to give, at least we can give cheer
filly.
And who can say what effect that
will have In the realm of the spirit
where all good gifts are given?

Twins Are Dreaded In Africa,
Molly Torln In the Continental edi
tion of the London Mail.
The other day a paragraph appear
ed In the Mail describing the mur
der of native twins In South Africa.
The untraveled man must read this
with horror, and rightly too, though
I doubt if he ever thinks of the trib
al laws and customs underlying such
a seemingly horrible practice—cus
toms which the native had observed
for thousands of years before the
coming of the white man with his
new ideas.
Unfortunately Europeans so often
try to teach the native mind too
quickly. They expect him to break
suddenly from his time-old tradi
tions and embrace Immediately alto
gether different morals and Ideas.
They are surprised when he occa
sionally returns to his barbaric creed
Instead of marveling that 8-uch lap
ses are so rare. That they are so
rare is a big tribute to the trust and
understanding existing between
black and white. For all these, to
our mind, terrible customs were orig
inally intended only for the good of
the race.
From time Immemorial, twins have
been regarded with horror by most—
if not all—savage tribes. I have
tried to trace the basis of this belief
In many parts of Africa, and the
1 nearest I could cotne to it was this.
I When a woman gives birth she Is
believed to produce one soul. If, by

should be divided, what chance can it
have for this world or the next?

The Place of the Automobile
From the Saturday Evening Post
The automobile, according to the latest revised statistics, has be
come an American institution. Automobiles in use throughout the
world total 18,241,477, and of these 15,222,658, or 83 1-3 per cent,
are in the United States. There is one car in this country for every
7.3 persons.
The amount that America spends on passenger cars is growing
so rapidly that occasionally a word of alarm is heard in other
branches of trade. Recently a state convention of retail clothiers
discussed the subject, and the fear was betrayed that men would
have to skimp on clothing in order to balance their budgets. It was
pointed out that thero are over six million families in this country
owning cars on incomes ©f forty dollars a week or less. Ih the face
of that total it must be acknowledged that many persons are buying
cars who are not in a position to afford them} but a review of the
situation, nevertheless, does not leave any reason for alarm. Bank
savings are larger than ever before. Small-denomination bonds are
sold in enormous quantities today, for the most part to people of
limited incomes. More life insurance in being placed, the past year
showing an increase of 17 per cent, in business throughout the
national field. The most conclusive proof, however, is the fact that
the loss of an automobile sold on the time payment plan is neg
ligible, being a very small fraction of 1 per cent.
Ihe fact of the matter is that the motor car has passed out of the
luxury class and become practically a necessity. It has become a
fixture with the average family and must be recognized as such.
Food, clothing and shelter are the three basic necessities but, over
the years, we have kept adding one feature after another to the list
of so-called necessities—artificial light, plumbing, telephones,
musio. And now the automobile. It has been added definitely to
the list and, with our elasticity in the matter of financial adjust
ments, we are managing somehow to absorbo this new item and
to work motor-car expenses into our personal budgets. Our auto
mobiles will not prevent us from buying homes or clothes or food.
The man who goes shabby today is the tvpe of man who alwavs

ACCEPTING THE WILL OF GOD
Son of man stand upon thy feet,
and I wll speak with thee.—Ezekiel
2:1.
The futility of much that is called
religion consists in our endeavor to
receive it lying down.
But religion is not received that
way.
Resignation is a great word, but
it Is not to be facilely pronounced.
How often we sigh when things go
wrong and say displri'.edly:
“Oh, weir, I suppose it’s the will
of God.”
If we really believed it were the
will of God we should accept it in
quite another Bpirlt.
Sometimes we use the phrase "the
will of God” Just to cover up our
own inadequacy—the failure of re
bellion.
Sometimes we use it as the utter
ance of despair.
It ought only to be employed with
reverent and willing acceptance.
And the prime requirement in re
ceiving the will of God is the atti
tude of readiness.
For the Christian attitude calls for
Something far nobler and finer than
being “resigned to the will of God.”
It calls for the active acceptance
of God's will.
We must stand on our feet and
hear what the Lord will say unto us,
ready to do our part In that will
which is not only omnipotent but
all-loving.
This is the way of Christ who
came not to do his own will but the
will of Him that sent him, and who
received the cross, not grudgingly
but willingly, not as an inevitable
sorrow, but as the way of salvation.
Get Husbands From England.
Guy HIckok in a Paris letter to
the Brooklyn Eagle.
A goodly number of the 11-2 mil
lion surplus of women left by the
war In France have settled the prob
yem of man-shortage by marrying
foreigners. Two hundred thousand
^jave married Englishmen. How
many ht /e married men of other
Nations is not known, but the indi
cations are that the number is large.
Writers whose chief worry is the
iapid decline In the population of
France, are concerned because of the
fact that in most cases the French
women who marry foreigners cease
to be French citizens and usually
leave the country, and their children,
if they have them, become foreign
subjects.
“Two hundred thousand gone only
to England—counting an average of
two children to each, there are six
hundred thousand souls lost to
France," comments Maurice de Wal
effe.
All very well for the French girls i
who mai-ry Englishmen. They have I
solved their problem. But England,
too, has her surplus of women—larg
er than that of France — for the
number of English girls condemned
to live unmarried because there are
not enough men to go around la es
timated at 1,800,000 now. They can
not be expected to look on with a
kindly eye when marriageable Eng
lishmen yield to the attractions of
their French sisters.

in the United States was built In 1893
