A WORD FOR THE To1LERs.

Some OF The Live.
Baltimore Sun (dem.)

YIN VI AhEm 1.-Two
Baltimore Sun (dem-)
In his speech at Hartford, Conn, the
president said that this government ulti-
mately depends upon the wage workers.
He doubtless intends to include the till
ers Of the soil as we'll as the worker in
the mill and factory and mine and the
whole class which in England was known
as the yeomanry. This is a truism which
has been said many times before and since
Goldsmith embodied It in his beautiful
poem, The Deserted village" But in
these times the president Is right in re-
minding the people that there can be no
true and bene1cent prosperity in any coun-
try unless the toilers have their share of
1t. The country may be filled with the
sounds of industry, the yachts Of the
wealthy may be blowing the waves, going
from capital to capital; palaces may adorn
the cliffs and drives Of Newport, but un-
less the great toiling masses are earning
enough to enable them to clothe their fam
lilies decently. to give them sufficient food
and to send their children to school, there
is no such prosperity as will advantage
the nation. ~
An article in the current number Of Mr.
John Wanamaker's magazine describes the
dwellings Of the miners In q certain an
thracite village in Pennsylvania as follows;
They live in houses built of sheet iron
and boards, about fifteen feet square and
sunk about three feet in the ground. o.
course, there Is but one room and in the
room the family-anywhere from six tC
ten humans-cooks, eats and sleeps. Al.
though there is plenty OF space, these
hutches are crowded together like troopers

hutches stretched a great heap Of ashes

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
The Gospel Of wen-DoipE E1poundea
BY President Roosevelt.
san Franclsco On.

a Francisco Call.
President Roosevelt infuses into his ad-
dresses some homely philosophy that Is
worthy Of Ben franklin. Representing the
people Of the greatest free society the
world has known. and receiving adulations
and attentions bestowed upon no other ex-
ecutive Of any other %nationl he seems to ses
the necessity OF reminding the people that
GOOD citizenship does not consist In the
glare and glitter and pageantry OF life, and
that while pomp and circumstance may be
consistent with that quality they do not
alone constitute II.
In his speech in Boston he uttered philos-
ophy that deserves TO be studied by all citi-
zens. That Il Is trite and true does not
mean that II is always made the rule Of ac-
ton and the guide OF life by all people. He
defined the first requisite OF good citizen
ship tina "a mar shall do. every day, bis
humdrum duties we'll. A man is not a good
citizen, I do not care how lofty his thoughts
are in the abstract. II in the concrete his
actions do not bear them out. It does not
make any difference how high his aspira-
tons are, II he does not behave we'll in his
own family those aspirations are not going
TO bear any visible fruit. He has got to be
n good bread winner. to take care Of his
wife and children: he has got to be q good
neighbor, whom his %neighbors can trust;
he has got to act s~ouarely in his business
reiations. In fact, he has got to do all
these every day, ordinary things. or he is
not a good citizen. The man or woman who
makes up for ten days indifference TO duty
By eleven days morbid repentance about
that Indifference Is Of very little use In the
world"
That is . statement Of the beginning ard
foundation of all rlghtness Of life and of all
worthy citizenship that cannot be too often.
repeated by those whose exaltation Of sta
ton gives them commanding opportunity to
be heard and needed. The beginning Of all
adjustment to every duty lie at home, and
among those nearest. When a nation is
made up of people mindful Of the nearest
obligation, the duty that is in frst contact,
all of its larger interests are safe, for they
are in control Of those who have learned
duty in its best school.
New England and the whole country ap-
preciates this bit Of philosophy, which.
seeming simple. is yet profound, and in
every home in the republic there will be a
feeling Of companionship for the president.

lens with this reminder Of the only wise

In three Of the foul congressional dis

YESTERDAY.
indianapolis News,

49,
II Is not far to Yesterday
And there we turn our eyes
To where the good, glad memories
In pleasing pictures rise.
The faded roses of today
Grow red and rich with dew,
And where gray clouds are spreading now
We see the skies Of blue.
Just down the way Is Yesterday
There sunshine always beams;
Today we close our eyes and see
Our yesterday in dreams;
Today we hear the long-dead song,
And now we understand
Its cadence, and know why Il made
Our Yesterday all grand.
A little way to Yesterday
Today may have It's fears
Yet yesterday is filled with smiles,
Tomorrow has its tears
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF them.
When we can find the way
That leads US to the golden land
The land OF Yesterday
II Is not far to Yesterday,
With glamor of the rose;
With haunting echo of the song
That thrilled us to the close.
Tomorrow and Today will lose
Their darkness and their gloom,
And each will soon be Yesterday
With melody and bloom.
