Too Much Govern m ent.

Ex-senator Hill, of New York, has
written an interesting article cap.
toned 1--WE Are Too much Governed"
He thinks government is constantly
and unnecessarily encrOaching upon
individual liberty. There is mania
among modern law makers for the
abnormal increase of statutes. Pa
ternalism and fanaticism are ever de-
manding something more. This
tendency is not confined to unjust or
illiberal legislation, but reaches al
most every conceivable subject. The
sound general doctrine that a man
may do as he likes so long as he does
not interfere with the just preroga-
tives of his neighbors, is being SO
hedged about with exceptions and
qualifications that it is in danger Of
being lost sight of. When once the
State assumes to intermeddle with
social and personal conduct beyond
we'll recognized limitations, every
barrier for the protection of personal
liberty is in danger of being broken
down. Individualism should be ex'
allied rather than that the powers and
functions of government should be
increased.

}. c. Siblry, oi Pennsylvania
These gentlemen all supported the
regular democratic ticket in the last
campaign, and may therefore pre-
sumably be expected to adhere Loyalty
to whatever course may be adopted by
the party hereafter. Many OF the
members Of the old executive COM
mittee proved unfaithful in the hour
Of trial. They have been dropped.
The committee will meet ut Wash
ington City on the 18th for organiza-
ton and to discuss methods looking
to aggressive action in coming con-
tests. Mr.. Bryan will be in the city
on that day, As the guest of the officers
of the association, and will be the
principal speaker at the dinner to be
given in honor of the anniversary of
Jctierson's birthday. He will respond
to the first toast, "Thomas jefferson
we celebrate the anniversary of his
birth, not in the spirit of idolatry, but
from regard and reverence for his
political principles"
The president of the association has
issued an appeal to each Democratic
society in the country to join in the
celebration of Jefferson's birthday by
such ceremonies as may be convenient
to each.
The action of this association in
dicates that the Democracy are in
thorough earnest about perfecting and
strengthening their organization sub
stantially on the lines of the last CAM
paign and preparing for an earnest
effort to recover Congress in 1898 and
the country in 1900. The seeding
faction will have to strike its colors or
remain permanently separate body.
The Democratic party has wonderful
vitality, as has been many times
attested, and its opponents will deceive
themselves if they think it is no longer
a dangerous adversary. 1t will train
hard for the next fight.

He SueQkcd.

A young man leaned up against the
counter of a branch telegraph Office
where two pretty young ladies were
employed as telegraphers, says an ex-
change. He had been chatting with
them for about an hour, but had for
gotten to say that at one time in his
life he had been an operator. During
a lull in the conversation one of the
young ladies "opened" her key and
said to the other:
"What do you think of his nibs at
the counter"
Don't think much of him. Why?"
"Oh, he makes Inc tired-he talks
like parrot"
"He makes me tired, to. Wish he
would sneak"
The young man broke in at this
juncture and said: Ladies, I thank
you for the compliments you have be-
slowed upon me, and as you are tired
of my company, will sneak"
The numerous cOlors of the rainbow
would not be sufficient to describe the
changes that took place in the young
ladies' faces. There is moral attached
to this tale and young ladies in branch
offices and elsewhere would do we'll to
take heed.

Rome, which moved by means of q
wheel, driven by pot of hot water"
Watts invention of q rotary steam
engine was patented in 1863. The
first railway locomotive was built by
Trevithick in 1904. The first practi-
cal locomotive was perfected by
Stephenson in 1929. AS early as 17O7
Denys Papin built model of n steam
boat, which was destroyed by n mob of
boatmen. The first practical steam
boat was built by William Symington
in 1902. In 1903 Robert Fulton, in
connection with Chancellor Liv-
ingston, built a steamboat which was
tried on the Seine. In 1907 the
Clermont began trips from New York
to Albany.

A ReMtnIscence.

The Mason County Journal reprints
this half-forgotten romance of long
ago, from a contribution made to the
Cosmopolis Enterprise, by pioneer
John Fry, of Chehalis county. Capt.
and Mrs. Henry Winsor, the partici-
pants in the old-time romance, are
now residents of Mason county, and
to this day have never regretted the
chance method of their wooing. The
account says:
"The first wedding in our part OF
the country was that of Charles E.
Fox and May Dray, who were married
at Rainier in 1852. Two couples came
over from Monticello to attend the
wedding. One gentleman by the
name of Holman came with one of
Mr.. Huntington's daughters, and Mr..
Winsor came with another lady. AZ
ter the ceremony was over, the Hunt
ington girl stood up and dared any
young gentleman in the house to
marry her. Mr.. Winsor took up the
banter. The preacher told them to
be careful what they were doing.
They told him to go ahead, supposing
it was all fun. The preacher said the
ceremony and they were legally mar
ried. The ladies returned home with
the same company they had coming
over. Next morning Mr.. Huntington
found out his daughter was married
and the couple would either have to
live together or get divorce. So he
called his folks together and they
talked the matter over. They finally
called Mr.. Winsor in and explained to
him how the matter stood and the
pair concluded to live together. The
young lady's parents got up splendid
wedding dinner, and that bride and
groom are living together to this day.

Profitable Advertising.

There was n man i'll our town, and
he was wondrous wise; for when he
marked his prices down, he then did
advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
with all his might and main, he
marked still lower everything, and adj
vertiscd again.
And when he advertised again, his
rivals cursed and swore, to see folks go
with mighty rush, to patronize his
store.
And while they sat in solitude and
saw his custom win, that man behind
the counter stood and raked the
nickcls in.
And when he raked the nickels in
and saw his fortune rising, he took 4
goodly lot of ink, and kept on adver-
Using.
Each day n generous sum he'd sink
and demonstrated plain, the more one
pays for printers ink, the greater is
his gain.

MEADOWS AND PASTURES,

States.

Their Cultivation in the Middle East
States.
The Agricultural Department has issued
farmers bulletin, prepared under the
direction Of Agrostofogist f. Lamson Serb
ner, on the formation and cultivation of
meadows and pastures in the middle east
crn states.
1t says that the annual production of for
age and fodder crops in the seven middle
eastern states-Pennsylvania New Jersey
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia. West Vir-
ginia and North Carolina-amounts to up
ward of 2O,O00,0OO tons, valued at fully
$lJO.OO0.0O0. AT least two-thirds of this
amount is supplied by the grasses, clovers
coWpeas, corn slower and ensilage produced
upon the farm, SO that the subject of i'm
proved methods of cultivation and the
section of the varieties best adapted to
the soils of this region is of the greatest
Importance to the farmer.
The commercial Importance of grasses
and clovers in relation to the profitable
production of farm animals, the bulletin
says, Is very great. The figures Of the
division OF statistics show that in the seven
middle eastern states there were, on jan
uary l, 1897, in round numbers, 1873, 900
horses of all ages, valued at about $57, 5S4,-
600: 2l7,O0O mules, valued at 81, Ala. UO0 q
O2S,uOO mich cows, worth $47, 1874 600; /, 135,
600 oxen and other cattle. worth $29, 1904 900;
2,147 600 sheep, worth So 100000 and $50
00O swine, worth SO. 041 900; the total num-
Der of all farm stock in these seven states
amounting to II ,ss3 900 head of all classes,
valued at slI1 ,21S.5O0 These II, 1888 900 head
of farm stock require for their mainten-
ance upward of 20. 100000 tons per annum
of all classes of forage and feeding stuffs
worth more than $4,000, 600 The seven
states named are not great stock growing
states. They rank in the aggregate of the
combined values of live stock barely 20 per
cent above that Of Iowa alone.
Such being the demands of our live
stock. how are the necessary supplies to be
produced at the greatest profit and least
cost? The problem Of how to cultivate tie
required grass, clover. and other forage
becomes thus an important one, of prime
interest to all farmers who have live stock
to feed or a market for their produce.
