''Sweet are the uses OF adversely"
but it takes philosopher to appreciate
the fact that poverty is his best friend.
We all admit that it is necessity that
drives mankind to its best work, but il
is blessing we want bestowed on some
one else. In recent magazine article,
Andrew Carnegie says: "We should
be quite willing to abolish luxury; but
To abolish poverty would be TO destroy
the only soil upon which mankind can
depend TO produce the virtues which
alone can enable the race to reach q
still higher civilization than il noy
possssssas :, ANoiwiA.r.a andisgs liisI t.st
view OF the case, there is general de-
sire to do away with poverty. Indeed,
it is To the individual effort to abolish
poverty that the world owes the eleva-
tion Of the race. Most OF us agree with
the sage who said that it may not be IA
disgrace 20 be poor, but it is exceed
ingly inconvenient.

Our Wheel observation-disclosures Items OF
Interest to Bike Riders.
This from the Detroit News: The
trouble that now afflicts the bicyclists
of Grand Rapids is the trouble which
afflicts the bicyclists of many other
cities. They have come to believe
that man who is mounted on wheel
has quit claim deed to all the public
streets, and that the public has no
rights which he is bound to respect.
The effect of this public-be-dammed
spirit has been to prejudice that part
of the public which does not ride
against all wheelmen. The world is
large enough for bicycle riders and
pedestrians, and there is no necessity
for any conflict if each will recognize
the fact that the other has some rights.
I t
Just as an evidence OF the attention
given TO bicycles by inventors, ii might
be stated that the records of the patent
office show over 800 applications per
month for patents on improvements in
wheels.

Chairman Hanna's Suggestion to Re.
publican Voters of the Country.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Chairman Hanna, of
the Republican national committee, has
suggested a flag day in the campaign.
He believes in the efficacy of the display of
the stars and stripes and to-day promul-
gated the following as a suggestion to
good citizens
"The American flag has been in the pres
ent campaign the emblem or insignia of ma
tional honor. Its influence has been for
great good in the cause of a good people.
Its display in many places has been potent
in the Advancement of the country's battle
for the maintenance of it's honor at home
and abroad. 1 therefore suggest that on
Saturday, Oct. 81, all who intend to vote
on Nov. 3 for the preservation of our ma
tional honor, for sound money and the adj
vancement of our peoples interests and
general prosperity display the national
colors at their homes, their places of bust
order that voters whose hearts are for their
country may be strengthened in their pur-
pose and those who are undetermined may
the more periodically and intelligently con-
clude how best to perform their duty as
citizens"
ters of the Republican national committee
that State, county and city committees and
clubs encourage the display of the national
flag on the last Saturday in the campaign
in every part of the country, especially on
residences, and have flags and bunting on
sale at convenient places for farmers and
others who live in localities remote from
popular trade points, and that the display
OF flags and bunting be continued until
after the national election.
