Human Counterfeits.

II there is any distinguishing virtue
"a this age. II is the stress placed on
genuine manhood and womanhood.
There is more and more OF a demand
that people seem what they are. Re
suits count with us more than embel-
lishments. We ask not so much of a
mans antecedents or the incidents that
surround him. Our one inquiry is.
Can he make good?"
In spite of all seeming indications to
the contrary, appearances never count
ed for so little as they do today. While
We may place value on position. cul-
ture, wealth and correct behavior.
after all our regard for them is rather
as indices to the character of their
possessor than as determinate factors
in themselves. Whatever the scale of
life in which we find man, we seek
TO know what the man is in himself.
Herein is found the eagerness of this
age for the personal touch If any one
suddenly rises to fame, the public at
once asks TO know of him in all the
details of his life. This Is not mere
vulgar curiosity, nor Is ii an undue in
vasion of privacy. 1t is an attempt to
find the real man. We are not content
to know of mems fame or place or pos
sessions alone. These are external
things. What is the man in himself?
How does he treat his family? What
are his personal characteristics? What
are the things he likes? What books
does he read? What are his recrea-
tons? What Is the heart quality of
the man? What are his actuating mo-
tives? What is the real personality
behind the seeming?
This desire of the public to know the
inmost character of its heroes before
it places its worship is healthy. The
world hasN been imposed on by too
many human counterfeits. Now it
would test the genuine coin from the
spurious. 1t would hear the ring of
real manhood or womanhood. 1t would
try those whom it is asked to crown
with Its laurels. 1t would make sure
that its gods have not feet of clay.

Speaker Cannon seems to have made
Il ruling shortly before the adjourn
ment Of congress as revolutionary in
its way as that Of counting quorum,
though this latest "czar" "ism, If such a
word is permissible, resulted in only a
chorus of outlaws instead of angry pro
tests. 1t was at the close of consider
alton of the Lodge-Cooper bill, and the
speaker put 1t first to viva voce vote.
There was only faint response from
the Republican side, all being yeas.
When the opposite side was called
great chorus of nays swelled forth.
"Well the yeas have it," said the
speaker after little pause, adding In
facetious tone, "but the nays made the
most noise"

1t has been discovered that the name
America was first given to the west
ern hemisphere by a French geogra-
pher named Martin Waldseemuller.
The map on which the name occurs
has been discovered. 1t is eight feet
long and four feet high and was made
iL 1907 Waldseemuller also wrote a
pamphlet arguing that the name Amer
lea should be given to the new CONT
nent, the anomalous reason assigned
being that Asia and Europe had been
named for women. Why Columbus
should be robbed of the glory on this
account, however, is not explained.
Anyway, the Waldseemuller label
stuck.

"The Greatest of These Is Charity"

Senator Hoar once said that if you
would move the average American of
today you could best do it with col
umn of figures. Yet statistics are some
times eloquent. None are more so than
a compilation of the various benefac-
tions made in the past few years. We
are apt to accuse this age of Mammon-
ism and selfishness, and there is too
much truth in the charge. sill, there
Is q reverse side to the shield. Do any
Of us realize the immense amounts
that have been given for charitable
and benevolent purposes, even in the
last eleven years? These benefactions,
taking only those of $4,000 or more,
run to the enormous total of nearly
$1,0OO,O00,OO0. A writer for the Re-
view of Reviews recently tabulated the
amounts, as nearly as they could be
secured, with the following results:

A unique exhibit at the Worlds Fair
was prepared by the agricultural de-
partment Of the University Of Califor-
mia. 1t is large map. so coored as to
show the character of the various soils
of the state. 1t gives clear idea of the
situation and the extent of the arabic
and untillable sections. In the locali-
ties that cannot be cultivated are
shown the Sierras, the lava beds and
the desert. The map indicates the To-
cation of the cultivable portions Of the
mountains and Mohave plateau and
shows the nature Of the foothills and
valleys Of that wonderful state.

Is Drunkenness Decreasing?

1t is the general observation of those
who make study of the question that
the number Of actual drunkards Is on
the decrease. There are doubtless
many causes for this, but one Of the
most powerful is unquestionably an
industrial one. Employers will not
hire men who are known to drink to
excess. This sort Of temperance ar
gument strikes home with the man who
depends ON wages for his income. In
this connection the provisions of the
various labor organizations against
drinking have also had decided infiu-

HURRICANE.


1t has been so long since we
sent you a communication we
hardly know what to write that
will be of interest to your read
ers.
Owing to the severe drouth here
last season, feed is very scarce.
Farmers will put large acreage
of corn, oats, millet and potatoes.
Judging by the way the Repub-
licans are working for Teter. the
farmers in Tyler county must all
be working for the Standard Oil
company.

opment. This company will have
three or four wells drilled the
coming summer.
The shipment of tobacco the
past winter and this spring from
Hurricane will be over 100000
pounds.
We note from the Tyler county
papers that the Republican can
didates in Tyler are going to be
good and nice the coming cam
paign. Can it be pOssible7
Some much esteemed Tyler.
friend has remembered us in send
ing two or three issues Of the
Tyler Journal. 1t is a well gotten
up, well edited paper, and full OF
interesting county news to us.
Aside from it's politics (Which is
very bad) we wish the journal
success.
H. S. Corbly purchased last
week some very handsome and
valuable property in the east end
of the town. 1t consists Of three
or 4 lots together fronting south
on the G.. & o. railroad, and north
by the county road. He will move
on it the coming week.
Our people are very little inter-
ested at present in politics. Even
the newspapers say but little. Up
to this date only two or three an
nouncements as candidates in
Putnam has been made. When the
time comes the farmer will make
a hard fight for Tax Reform can
didates, as they are united on this
question. The G. & o. railroad,
the coal operators and the Stand
ard Oil company, as well as other
corporations, are opposing Tax
Reform. 1t stands every farmer
in hand to vote for no candidate
that will oppose the tax bill.

Foraker on Senator Hanna.

He would not countenance
false praise, or wish to have as
cribed to him virtues he did not
possess.
AS | knew him for the first
four years of our acquaintance,
he was an unusually lovable man.
He was bright, CHEEKY, gener-
GUS, kind, strong, and ever ready
to practise self-denial when it in
volved the preferment of a friend.
He had less agreeable charac-
teristics to those who were in OPP
position to him in any matter
he deemed important.
In such contests he was the I'M
personation of antagonism; ne
battled fercely and unrelentlngly
to the end.
He seldom resorted to diplo-
macy, but relied on the logic OF
hard knocks.
Like Napoleon, he believed that
the way to win battles was to have
the heaviest artillery.
He refused to believe that the
man who bore him attachment
was unworthy of his assistance.
His judgement was good OF
both men and measures; ne had
a wonderful power for approach
ing men.
He was not a scholarly man,
nor a student of public questions,
but he comprehended accurately,
as though by intuition, every
problem that arose.
His powers were of the organ
ling and executive character; ne
had uncommon common sense,
and an almost unnatural knowl-
edge of human nature.
He won a high place IN ms
country's history, and IN MS
countrymen's hearts.
