MY LIFE IS LIKE THE sUMMER ROSE

Richard Henry Wilde.
 My life is like the summer rose, That opens to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close Is scattered on the ground to die. But on that roses humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As If heaven wept such waste to see But none shall weep tear for me. My life is like the autumn leaf That trembles in the moons pale ray: Its hold is frail, It's state is brief. Restless and soon to pass away. Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade, The parent tree shall mourn its shade: The winds bewail the leafless tree But none shall breathe sigh for me.
 1 My life is like the print of feet Left upon Tampas desert strand; Soon as the rising tide shall beat Y The tracks will vanish from the sand Yet as if grieving ito efface All vestage of the human race, On that lone shcre loud moans the sea- But none shall eer lament for me.

Rural Free Delivery

From the Anniston Star.
 Calhoun is being favored by the postal department above other counties of the state in the matter of rural delivery, but one other county in the state enjoying the privilege of the experiment which is this week inaugurated in this county.
 The advantages of the rural delivery are manifold and the conveniences it will afford the people living along the rural delivery routes will be almost equal to the mail con- veniences in the towns that have the car rier system and much greater than in the smaller towns that do not have free de- livery. Four rural delivery routes have been established in this county through the energetic work of Postmaster Smith, of An niston, and Postmaster Ragan, of Oxford. Two others are contemplated, and strong effort will be made to secure them.

From the Demopols ENElress
 MT. H. D. Cook, of Detroit, Mich, was on last Tuesday the guest of Mayor Howze. MT. Cook is largely interested in cement works and was recommended to Demopois as a desirable location by State Biologist Smith of Tuscaloosa. MT. smith says that 80 per cent. of lime can be ob- tained from this rock, and MT. Cook says if 'that is true, this is the place for him. He will need about eighty acres of land, which of itself tells that the plant will De a large one. After examining into the in- ducements offered by our town MT. Cook selected several samples elf our rock and clay and will test them and if they prove to be as suitable as MT. Smith thinks they will, then there is a fine pros pect of our getting the industry.

Bryan Promises.

Bryan promises, if elected, to con-
vene congress in extra ordinary session
as soon as inaugurated to recognize
the freedom of the Philippines and to
extend the Monroe doctrine to those
islands. Bryan is thus the hope of
Aguinaldo and the insurrectionists.
They are encouraged by him to longer
withstand our army. Thus we have
an enemy in the rear.
Are we prepared to enforce the Mon
roe doctrine in the eastern continent
as we'll as the western? To do so
would perhaps make of us a
real imperial power. If Bryan and
his followers were sincere in their adj
vocacy of the principles of self govern
ment they would condemn the actions
of the democratic party in the southern
states where it is DISTINGUISHING the
negroes and governing them without
their consent. Are the half civilized
Philippines more entitled to self govern
ment as natural right than are the
negroes of our own states?

We see the Coon Rapids Reporter is
quoting favorably in its editorial col
umn from Appeal to Reason" That
is socialist paper, radical and reyolu-
tionary. Lucy Parsons says socialism
is the school of anarchy and she ought
to know. "Appeal to Reason" is poi
son to healthy and patriotic sentiment
and by rights ought to be suppressed.
OF course the Reporter isn't copying
radical articles, but that it copies any
at all from such red flag of sheet
is very bad sign. We have no SYM
pathy with any paper that approaches
so near to treason as does the appeal
to Reason"

enhances"

Last week the Advocate contained n
peculiar editorial article on Finances.
In it the editor takes the position that
''the financial problem is practically
sealed, until a period beyond the next
presidential administration, and should
not be taken into consideration during
this campaign" yet it desires to call
attention to republican positions on
the question. etc.
This is practical apology for it's
party position on that question. 1t
means the same as to say "Help us
elect Bryan. He can't harm the gold
standard law and the republican major
ity in the senate will block his way"
The democratic votes necessary to
elect Bryan would easily elect demo-
cratic congress, and would also elect
enough democratic legislatures that
would choose free silver senator's to
change the attitude of the senate, if
not this year then surely in two years,
or before the end of the administration.
This plea to vote for Bryan as he will
not have it in his power to harm the
finances is a dangerous one. He is the
most out spoken and noted free silver
man in the country and would be
bound to attempt to carry his theories
into effect as soon as possible. The
practical admission on the part of the
Advocate that he would damage the
business interests if he could, leads us
to remark to it that the only safe and
perfectly sure way to prevent him from
harming our business is not to give
him the chance.
In the same article the subject of
the past positions of the two parties on
the silver question is rather learnedly
discussed. BY quotations from var
ious platforms the attempt is made to
show that the republican party has
within the last twenty years somewhat
changed its position on that question.
This no one denies. 1t is an evidence
of the finess of the republican party for
power that it is willing to meet new
conditions as they arise. That there
new conditions on the money question
within twenty years all admit. The
republican party is well satisfied with
its present position upon the question.
We think this is more than the Advo-
cate can say for it's party.

Those Binders Again.

Last week the editor of the Advocate,
referring to the editor of this paper,
said:
He has even become so bias that he
does not believe that the American
manufactured machinery can be
bought for about one fifth less in Flu,
rope than it can be be bought here"
This is practical repetition of a
statement formerly made by the Advo-
cate, the truth of which we challenged,
asking for proof. The Advocate has so
far failed to substantiate its assertion,
or to attempt to do so. However, it
continues to repeat it lin varied form.
1t seems to think that is the way to
carry on discussion. 1t may be the
only way open to it on this question.
AS we have said before, the Advo-
cate is simply repeating, parrot like, an
old free trade argument, accepting the
statement of unknown parties. The
free traders argue that if this state
ment is true, of our manufacturers
selling higher at home than in Eu-
rope, that they are robbing our people
here and that all protection ought to
be withdrawn.
Now the point upon which the
Advocate and the REPUBLICAN disa-
greed, is as to the relative price of
American binders here and in Europe.
1t has asserted over and over and again
that they are sold cheaper in Europe
than here, for that suits its free trade
theory, as You know. AS it cannot fur
nish proof of its statements, they
should fall to the ground as unproven,
but as absolute proof of their incor-
rectness is easily at hand, We will give
some of it.
George Weighton practical farmer
and machinist living here came over
from Scotland only few years ago.
His father and brother still live there
and what he says about the prices of
machinery here and there are of his
own knowledge. He says that the
Woods binder sold in Scotland four
teen years ago at 80 pounds, or $4O0.
We do not think they sold here at to
exceed 5000 at that time. He says
that five years ago his folks bought a
Mccormick binder there paying 35
pounds or $175. while the same was
SELLING here for 1926. Mr.. Weighton
also says that Deering mowers that sell
for $45 here sold for $40 there.
M. N. Esbeck, county recorder of
this county, and man who has been
selling machinery most Of the time for
the last ten years, is native of Den
mark and has many friends and rela-
tives over there. A few years ago some
of them wrote to him wanting to buy a
binder and he investigated the price of
Deering binders there. He says at
that time they were selling here for
$110 and there for $3.50. He says some
times out of date machines were put
off in the old country at lower price
than the new makes sold for here, but
that the same makes were higher there
than here.
These two gentlemen are qualified
upon these subjects, and our people
have absolute confidence in them. The
Advocate expressed itself recently that
'facts are stubborn things" We think
they are. They beat free-trade
