The elections held in Oregon, Yer
mont and Maine seem to have been
accepted by the leading business in
terests of the country as an indica-
ton that everything will certainly be
all right in November. In New York,
for example, the Maine returns were
taken to mean practically that the
battle was already won. The victory
affected the market favorably and in
spired the commercial classes with re-
newed confidence in the future. Bust
ness took on the complexion OF a
boom in the stock market, and SINH
lar effects were visible elsewhere.
The outlook certainly could not be
more cheerful.

From all sections of the country we
are receiving encouraging reports in
regard to the political situation. The
republicans are down to hard and
earnest work now for the success of
the county, state and national tickets
and if this degree Of interest is kept
up until election day our chances are
bright for an overwhelming victory.
Let this campaign stand on its merits
as to political affiliations, and remem-
Der that every time you switch from
the ticket which should receive your
support the cause dearest to your
heart is getting knife plunged into
its vitals. We are not ashamed of
any of our nominees. They are every
one worthy of the strongest support
that can be given to them. Remem-
Der this.

PUT PESSlM.SM ASIDE TO-DAY.

Let politics be abjured for day
Let us acknowledge and rejoice in our
manifold blessings and magnificent
opportunities. Without any reference
to political parties, policies, platforms
or candidates, let it be understood,
appreciated and declared that we are
enjoying about the largest degree OF
liberty and prosperity, about the
greatest amount of intelligence and
civilization ever possessed by any
nation for thousands Of years.
If things are not exactly right, let
us, in Gods name and our country's,
reflect for this one day, at least, that
they are better than in almost any
land on earth; better as a whole than
they have ever been before; and let us
also reflect, reason and believe that
they are growing better; that we, like
our foreiathers, are helping to make
u better city, a better state, better
nation, better world. And we are.
The weight OF evidence is that the
world is growing gradually better
richer, purer, more unselfsh, more
charitable; that the generations of
men are becoming more Godlike; and
that in this grand, gradual, almost
imperceptible evolution, this slow but
sure grinding of Gods mills for his
eternal but unseen and unknown pur-
poses, we of the United States OF
America, in the nineteenth and twen-
tieth centuries since the birth of the
Nazarene, are playing locally-that
is, an earthly-important and useful
part.
We are but grist in the eternal
mills; we know that life's fitful fever
is soon burned out; but if we are show
ing finer, purer healthier results in
Gods great hopper OF the universe
than any nation, any people that has
gone before us did, we may be, should
be, well satisfied. There are countless
reasons for complaints for criticism,
for chicks" for objections, for the sug-
gestion of remedies, all along all
avenues OF life; but once in awhile let
us ALLURE pessimism, and look on the
brighter, better side.
The pessimist has his use in the
world, he is a valuable creature; but
he becomes tiresome; and too much
pesslmism breeds that which it COM
plains of. On the other hand, love,
and hope and faith, beauty and cour-
age, devotion and patriotism, and
every good and gracious intellectual
and moral gift, are breeders of their
kind; and it is the progeny of these
that make the world better, and that
make us people who have right to
be reasonably satisfied with ourselves
and proud OF our country.

The total wheat yield OF the United
States can now be more accurately
estimated than at any time since the
crop year opened. Reliable authori-
ties incline to the belief that estimate,
55O,OOO,OU0 bushels, made some weeks
ago will prove to have been about cor
rect. II home consumption and
foreign demand are equal to that of
year ago, these figures mean that a
shortage will occur later There is a
factor however, which can never be
reckoned on safely, and that is the
Argentina supply. 1t all depends up
on the surplus in that country whether
prices will see any material advance
OF not.

Poverty is an incentive and disci-
pline. If most of us were rich and
had nothing to work for the world
would be lazy and degenerate, soften
ed with luxury, spoiled by lack OF
healthful opposition. Any condition
that deprives us of hope is condi-
ton of living death; but a poverty
that makes us industrious, resolute,
hardens our bodies and sharpens our
wits is far from unfortunate, for it
contains within itself the element of
cure, and prime among its happy attri-
butes is that heaven-sent faculty of
living in a future that has no Offset
to its perfectness-the faculty OF hope.

The progress of the strike in the
Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields is
being watched with considerable in
terest. Aside from one incident the
dispute between the mine owners and
the thousands of employees has pro-
crossed without resort to violence.
The general impression prevails that
the strike will be settled by arbitra-
ton and that ere long the men will
return to their positions. This was
declared to be the biggest strike ever
known in the industrial world, and il
it can be adjusted by peaceable
methods, it will operate to the advan-
tage of organized labor in future con-
tests over wages and hours of work.

We see parents-possibly we are
parents-who bring up children "along
the lines of least resistance" says Dean
Briggs OF Harvard University in the
October Atlantic, and we know what
the children are. 1t is illogical to in
fer that children taught at school
"along the lines of least resistance"
are intellectually spoiled children,
fiabby of mind and will? For any
responsible work we want men of
character-not men who from child
hood up have been personally con-
Quoted and have had their education
warped to the Incidence of their minds.

In educating a boy it is well to look
after his fitness for certain vocations
in life. See that he tries to educate
himself along lines that are in har-

though he has been brought ap on u
farm. A man succeeds better when

for man for any Office knowing him
to be incompetent or unfit in any par
tieular to hold or administer that
office, you ale morally responsible for
his election and the subversion OF law
as Though yours was the only ballot
to be cast for him. You can lever
know until after the votes are count
ed but what your vote decided the
contest. Because man comes to you
with smiling face, hands you his
card and asks you to vote for him, is
no reason why you should forego your
your responsibility in the matter and
vote for man that is at heart bad or
incompetent. Hundreds of men are
elected to Office simply because they
are good fellows" suave and polite,
who are in no sense fit and proper

Former Capt. Dreyfus has bobbed
up again. He is not satisfied with
freedom and liberty after his pardon
from further confinement on Devils
island. He wants exhonerati N Of
the charges on which he was twice
convicted. He still maintains he is
innocent and says the mental anguish
is just as severe, and he will never
rest until he is returned to his rank
in the French army. Outside of
France the general sentiment was in
favor of the accused Jew, but the
French people were divided. His last
trial almost precipitated civil war.
1t resulted in much hard feeling and
some violence. Dreyfus had n arrow
escape from living death. Public
sentiment was all that saved him
from return to the sufferings on his
prison isle. He is now with his wife
and children in Geneva where he can
live in peace and quiet. He is well to
do and has many warm friends. The
trial in general resulted in his moral
acquittal. If he starts another fuss,
public sentiment may change, and
there is no telling what might happen
to the former unfortunate. Retribu-
ton is all right but there is vast
difference between imprisonment and
liberty.
