Fall business promises to be con-
siderably lvelier this year than last.
In fact, many people think this is go
ing to be the busiest season we have
ever had. Prosperous times have we had
up to the present, and the indications
are that they will continue to more
or less extent for long time to come
People generally, and farmers partic-
ularly, are going to buy more lber-
ally this fall than ever before. NIer-
chants with established regulations
will have little difficulty in disposing
of large stocks OF goods of the right
quality. 1t may require more "push"
to do business this fall than hereto
fore, because there are going to be
more firms in the field and more at
tractive goods than usual.

The newspaper publishers OF every
county should form an organization.
Instead OF being continually fighting
each other they should be assisting
each other. Instead OF complaining
because one gets county contract at
legal rates, they should all stand out
for legal rates and refuse to accept
anything less. When the business OF
printing newspapers is conducted on
lines as purely business like as those
upon which bank is conducted, then
there will be reasonable profit in the
newspaper and half a chance for an
editor to live on the income from his
business.

TO understand the world one must
often stand apart from the throng
and contemplate the turmoil of strife
and passion from some sheltered spot.
Thus, when we sit amid graves we
perceive more clearly the folly OF greed
and ambition; when we look upon the
patient stars the madness Of all the
hurry and worry comes home to us;
when we lie ON the bosom Of the earth
beneath calm sky, we feel how ridic-
ulous is the noisy tumult OF the crowd.

That quibbling promotes anarchy
is statement that can hardly be
doubted. Whatever prevents the
quick and certain punishment Of
crime causes contempt OF law and dis
position to lawlessness. Legal quib-

merited punishment, and the courts
have as much responsibility for such
miscarriages OF justice as do the law
yers engaged in the practice OF their
profession.
