national policy, this transformation be-
ing none other than the spirit of modern
science invading, as it must, the fund
amental domain of our national life.
Consequently to blindly oppose science
in the economic domain is as criminal
and ~retrograde as bigotry of any kind
in the intellectual and religious do
mains.
Thus the political phase of our ma
tional life, as inaugurated by u fore
fathers, is fast drawing to a close. AS
a people we are crossing the threshold
of the great American economic. era
now opening before us-frst for our
own beneft-by basing our present i'm
perfect political unity, as a nation,
firmly and scientifically upon our.
economic unity, as a ~people-when we
must carry our economic principles
the whole world for the progressive
emancipation of mankind, under the
broad and humane aegis of modern
science and evangelical christianity
combined, those grand and immortal
twin-sisters of the great Reformation
and of which our American Republic is
the first-born and most favored off
spring.
Consequently never since the days of
Washington Jefferson and Lincoln We're
the responsibilities, resting on our
statesman, greater than the present
hour. And, therefore, we may well
consider it as far more logical and
Providential, than purely accidental,
that a truly scientific economic mind
and a western personality are manifest
ly predominant in Mr.. Roosevelt, the
chief executive of our nation, this being
as it were, both typical and prophetic
of the scientific and f~arzreaching in
f~iuence the United West is soon to ex=
l ercise in the political and economic life
t of our Republic and for WHICH, conse-
quently, u great western mining fra
/ ternity should be prepared,

MINING
TRe Natural Bd sis
For
ECONOMICS
In The
WEST.

The great mining industry of the
West and espeical along the extended
Rocky Mountain range, is, unqustion-
ably, the natural and, consequently,
the inevitable basis. for a system of
scientific economies in view of realizing
American ideas in the organized indus
tries and modern economic forces of our
great nation.
When u declaration of independence
was promulgated, our. Constitution
framed and our Union founded, the I'M
occupied lands and unexplored regions,
ON or within our borders were naturally
such that it seemed to the founders of
our Republic that the time would never
come, sc to speak, when all thrifty and
worthy American citizens could not
easily find, if they would, independent
and practically free homes for them
selves and families.
Such indeed was the case up to with
in the last twenty-five or thirty years.
Thus the extent of our government
lands, open practically to free settle
rsent, has been such that, the economic
or industrial liberty, as l may call it, of
the average American citizen and fam
ilytcentels among cur great common
people was SIS securely guaranteed to
all our citizens alike, by the very ma
ture Of economic conditions formerly
existing in u midst, and to the same
extent, relatively, as civil and religious
liberty were guaranteed us by our
National Constitution.
Indeed, had it, been otherwise, this
most precious and Indispensable of all
reur industrial liberties -namely that of
gaining and assuring a competence for
ones self and familo-would have also
been especially guaranteed to all Amer
lean citizens, as a constitutional pre-
rogative of the highest order and on a
par with civil and religious liberties we
enjoy. Indeed, economic liberty for
the American citizen and wage Garner
through an MISUNDERSTANDING wage
constitutes, certainly, the ultimate aim
and the browning glory of al our liber-
tiles, as well as the final goal of Ameri-
Mean democracy and republicanism. In
other words, what the very nature Of
former economic conditions has, thus
far. been doing for the average Amer
1fcan citizen in favor of his< economic
liberty we must, on the contrary,
henceforth be systematically realized
FOR him, throug scientific economics,
along democratic and progressive lines

Football.

Paris met and defeated Hebron I'd at
the fair grounds Saturday afternoon by
score of q to O.. Paris kicked of to
Hebron and Immediately held Hebron
for downs and then started to rush the
ball. Hebron was helpless before the
offensive play of the Paris team. Paris
made long gains through the Hebron
line and around the ends. The interior
ence which the Paris boys formed on
end runs was the best that has been
seen here this season. This interference
enabled the backs to make long and con-
slant gains. Paris crossed Hebron's
goal line after three minutes of play,
and again crossed it in the next three
minutes of play making the score 10 to 0
at the end of the first six minutes of
playing. Paris once more crossed the
Hebron line in the first half and at the
end of the half was within five yards OF
their line again and could have made
another touchdown with one minute
more time. Paris made one more touch
down in the second half and again went
to within one foot of the Hebron line,
here Hebron received the ball on downs
but they were forced back over their
own line on the first down, the play was
touthback and counted nothing for
either side.
During the game Paris made first
down IS times, Hebron made first down
3 times, Paris held Hebron for downs 4
times, Hebron held Paris for downs 3,
neither side punting during the game.

game for their team. The lineup was as

DO GOOD-IT PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
dceds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men appre-
ciate a kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: my good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold,
and there is no danger whatever from
pneumonia when you use that medicine.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con-
sumptive. The progress of scrofula
during a normal october is commonly

Sarsaparilla, whose radical and perma-

to make the most famous medicine in
the world. There is probably not a
city or town where Hoods Sarsparilla
has not proved its merit in more homes
than one, in arresting and completely

serious and as much to be feared as its
