IN THE NORTHWEST,

By Give Phillips Wolley. Green-grey is the sea of sage-brush, grey-
 green as a winter sea, Grey-green are the hemlock and cedar, and
 grey is the heart in me, The forests are armies of giants, dumb
 giants. Here no bird sings, Here dance no lights with the shadows; no
 ivies or clematis cling. The mountains are haunted, silent Words
 die on the lips unsaid; The wolf is grown fearless with hunger;
 Hunger wheels on wide wings over
 head crawl towards the far horizon; an atom
 drifting through space, Past the bones of the Buffalo wallows,
 by the trails of vanished race. And I long for the choir of slSylarks, for
 the coo of the mating dove, For the lquid notes of the throstle's throat,
 or the songs of the land love; For the hum of the mighty cities for the
 faces which come and pass, For the voice of spring when the stream,ets
 sing. and the murmur of life in the
 grass; For the sweet breath of the beanfields, the
 scent of the fresh-turned sod, For arms which wait by my cottage gate,
 and the beHs which cry to God. am man. and the world is mighty. Should
 die thus alone outcast, Would my soul in fhe end find the soul Of
 a friend. and win to it's love at
 last?

Armor Plate in Pittsburq.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, in discus sion of the arnior plate question, de- clares that "the proposition for govern ment manufacture is s5cialistic and an- tagonistic to the fpdividualism upon which our government and social fabric are built. It hardly needs any argument to show the superiority of an individual system, under which the reward is to him to whom it can be said, 'Weu done, good and faithful servant"
 This is clap-trap of the empttsst sort. This would close the navy yards to the building CT even to the repair or refitting of war vessels; the Watervliet factory to the making of great guns; the arsenals of Rock Island and Springfield to the manufacture of small arms, and the doors of West Point and Annapolis to the cadets-for if the doctrine of our Pitts burg contemporary be good at all, in- dividual educators should enjoy their share of the government patronage.
 The truth is, the government should do as an individual would do under similar circumstances. It should buy in the open market when it can buy to good advantage. It should supply it's own wants when individuals combine against it, as the ship builders did a few years ago, and as the Carnegle-Bethle- hem people are doing now. It should protect itself against extortion and com- pima ton, even if they arise in Pennsyl- vania
 The esteemed Dispatch should be frank. If it desires the government to buy armor plate from the Carnegie works, regardless of, value, let it say so. Its right to favor Pittsburg industries .s sion for raising the ghost of socialism. Do not be ashamed to openly champion the Carnegie interests. It is an inters,t that has received immense sums from the government for many years-an in- terest that refuses to furnish the items that enter into the cost of armor plate an interest has one price for his government and at least one more for other governments; but still the Dispatch need not exploit social politics in order to support the shops at its own doors.
 It adds, however, test that is fair and just. Let the reward be to him to whom it can be said, "Well done, good and faithful servant" We accept the test of our contemporary. Let the armor plate record of the arnegie-Beth,ehem pto pie be placed in one scale, and the cost of armor plate from the brown ores of the South Appalach range in the other. Nothing shall be said as to a fair distribution of government work Let the question be decided as an individual would decide it if he had armored veg sels to build. For it is really, esteemed contemporary, a plain business matter, having no relation to the social fabric, concerning only the condition of the treasury, and the procurement of armor plate without blow-holes whenever 1t may be needed.

The LaWIess North,

The New York World has the follow ing suggestive paragraph
 ''It is almost incredible that any part of the state of New Jersey should be suffering from reign of terror" and yet such an expression fitly describes the condition which exists, not in any remote district of the state, but along the thichly settled and main travelled road between New York and Philadel- phia. Attacks on travellers, highway robberies, outrages on women and even "hold-ups" of trains are of freuuent oc- currence. Life and property are both unsafe in the very heart of a highly civilized district
 This is black picture, but it is easy to make it 'blacker A few dags ago sherlff's posse slaughtered a crowd of poor miners in Pennsylvania. This week five men who were only suspected of a crime were lynched by a mob at Versailles, one of the oldest towns in Indiana.

The Mistake of His Life.

From the Detroit Free Press
 "I was sort of crowed out of politics" declared the man whose friends at one time quoted his stock as good for the presidency of the United States 'I had the theory of the game all right enough, but it was the effort to practice that gradually brought about my downfall I lived in community where there was a good deal of wealth and progressive culture. This meant social pretensions and an adoption of the popular fads as they appeared.
 q believed, and still believe, that the successful politician must be all things to all men. For this reason I professed the most profound interest in golf, statesmanship. yachting, diplomacy, baseball, music, bicycling, science, busi- ness, church matters, social functions. football, good horses, bellies, beaus bores and everything else that any portion of the people might favor by adoption.
 'The plain truth is that knew some thing less than nothing about many of these subjects. I couldn't clearly define the difference between a home run and a catboat, or tell whether allegro was a term used in music or happened to be the name of some new sewing machine attachment.

The lake people should unite and
devise some way of preventing the
fish from running through the Trad
ing Post dam. When once they pass
over the dam they cannot return and
are thus left to perish in the shallow
pools below or go down the river to the
Mississippi. Many thousands of fish
are thus annually lost to our lakes
which in time will prove serious loss.

Makes More Work.

In the opinion of the county officials
that the new law permitting the pay
ment of taxes on real estate in INSTALL
ment will not be taken advantage Of by
as large number of property owners
as is generally believed. At present
the majority of those who delay pay
ment, until near the time when the
penalty attaches are residents in the
cities and villages. The country resi-
dents, as a rule, pay early, many of
these paying their real estate taxes in
January and February, at the same
time they pay their personal property
taxes OF course there are laggards
among them as we'll as among the
towns people, but the proportion is far
less. The new system, if it is taken ad-
vantage of to any extent whatever,
will entail a large amount of extra
work on the auditor and treasurer, and
naturally these do not look upon the
innovation with special favor. They
believe also that the new system will
be confusing to some extent, at least
for a few years on the start.-Red
Wing Republican.
