AS the writer had an opportunity during the
summer to visit the Great Middle West and
observing the prosperous condition OF that rich
valley, it suggested the question, Wherein lays
the secret of the matter? In the stability of
our Government and confidence in the man
who is at the helm. We found him more
popular than the party that had selected him
as its leader, which fact was duly proven on
the S:h by the people. It was suggested by
one of our citizens that when the time comes

vote that they make it unanimous, as Judge
Parker would not feel fiattered at the small vote
given him. But as Burns puts it:
"The best LAID schemes o mice and men
Gang aft aglee,
And leave us naught but grlef ana pain,
For promised joy"
