vorable to Prosperity.
The result of the town meeting last
Saturday which was called to see if the
town would vote to rescind its previous
vote that appropriated s25, 900 to assist
Walpole in freeing the old toll bridge and.
erecting an additional bridge, was a pleas
ure to all but a very few of the residents
of this village, and assures two bridges.
The intimate business relations of the
villages upon each side of the river
make this measure advisable, and i'm
portant to the future growth and pros
perity of both sides.
When the meeting was called to order
at $50 a m, nearly every seat of the
$50 in the opera house was filled, many
being spectators, and many citizens of
North Walpole After sparrjne between
those interested upon each side the ques-

the polls were left open until O'Clock.

missing it and the meeting adjourned in
large demonstration of enthusiasm.
AS stated last week, the question of
having the bridges was one that the
board of trade were unanimously in ia
Vor of. The village voters who pay five
siXths of the taxes of the town with few
exceptions favored the building of the
bridge. Outside this village the voters
were united against 1t. Tine decision is
one looking to the continued prosperity
of the citizens both sides of the river.

found there, so that it is by no means a new phenomenon;
but in the twentieth century, with the development of the
island empire in the East, the old fear of the yellow race
again took possession of the Europeans. Yet it is histori-
caly true that the Mongols marched against China, japan
and India. Expeditions against Japan were several times
repealed; the last, in 1881, on an immense scale, met with
huge discontinue. China was often attacked by these ma
rauders. And it appears from historical study that these
barbarians have been holding their stronghold in Russia
for the last hundreds of years. The real cause of the yellow
peril does not lie with Japan or China, but with the gigantic
neighbor Of the north.
1t is said by some that Japan is a heather nation; she
is not to be relied upon. Nothing could be more mistaken
than this notion. The old characteristic civilization of
Japan has assimilated Christianity, giving birth to some
thing better. Japan's progress for the last thirty years does
not necessarily depend upon Christianity, but upon the
peculiar attractiveness Of the Japanese character.
While Japan was practically a sealed country for over
two thousand five hundred years, the world outside was
making rapid progress. England, France and America I'M
derwent respective reformationS- With the arrival of Com
modore Perry Japan awoke from her long slumber and did
everything she could to introduce Western civilization.

The Best of Minority Leaders.

Never has a Republican speaker pos
sessed the good will Of the opposition
in the House as Uncle Joe Cannon has
it to-day, and surely not since Mr.. Car
isles time has a Democratic leader on
the floor had the Republican good will
and admiration bestowed upon John
Williams in the present Congress.
1t was no small task to hold togeth-
er and in harmony the d%iscordant ele-
ments of his party throughout the ses-
sion, but he did 1t adroitly, tactfully.
successfully. He is not a theorist, but
he tolerated the theories of others
without stamping them with the party
brand and giving them the full APPROX
al Of his leadership. He was not led
off into any socialistic vagaries, for he
knows a thing OF two, and among 9th
er things he knows an initiative from
a referendum when he sees them. but
he made no display of purging his par.

AS a class, doubtless, mothers-in-
law are too rudely treated by the
purveyors Of humor and satire and
not sufficiently honored. They may
be interested to learn that President
Smith Of the Mormon church, who was
a conspicuous witness in the Smoot
case, and probably has had as large
an experience with mothers-in-law as
any living American, is their ardent
ally. He says the custom of ridicul-
Ing them is contemplate, and adds:
The best friends l ever had were
my mothers-in-law. l loved and hon
ored them and shall ever hold their
memories sacred. They were true
women and were worthy of their
daughters" Perhaps some women
will think this last sentence CONVEYS
a doubtful compliment.

One Of the Boston newspapers,
speaking of the old home movement
which has renewed so much Of good
fellowship in many parts of New Eng
land, remarks the taking up Of the
same kind Of celebration, inviting all
one-time residents and their posterity
to participate, in Ohio towns. and
calls it 'old-home week out west"
The phrase recalls to q dweller in
Chicago an occasion when during a
sojourn of some months in Denver a
friend of that city remarked that he
was going east" that night, but
would not fail to keep an appointment
for three days later in Denver. How
can you do that if you go east to-
mighty asked the Chicago man. "Oh,
that's easy" was the reply; Il could
get back from Omaha in less time
II needed So to go to Omaha was
to go east" to the Denver man. and
the Boston phrase ''out west reveals
that the same kind of thing survives
there. 1t is different only in form in
California, where to return to the old
home is to go to 1.-THE states" a phrase
that recalls the once tremendous gap
between the old western frontier in
Iowa and Missouri and the scattered
fringe Of civilization along the Pa
cific. "Out west to the New Eng
lander, going east" to the Denver
visitor to Omaha, the states'' to the
Californian, all are survivals Of a
time when there were localities with
actual differences that justified the
phrases, but are nearly outworn now.
We have reached the point where
some Of the phrases have become alb
surd and others have nearly lost their
meaning. 1t is time to begin to cult
vate the habit Of mere relatively as to
points Of the compass in a country
rapidly crystallizing into homogeneity.

States is the digging Of the Panama
canal. That makes John F. Wallace
interesting. He is going to dig it. He
has accepted the position of chief en-
gineer. 1t was the natural thing to
select a railroad man for the big job.
A a who can build railroads as
they are built in this country is equal
to anything. Mr.. Wallace is general
manager of the Illinois Central Rail
road. He worked his way up from
the bottom. He has health, a mag
nificent physique, brains and the kind
of patriotism that caused him to ac-
cept the government job, even though
there is less money in it than in run
ming a great railroad system. 1t is a
tribute to Mr.. Wallace and to the
railroad profession that this great re-
sponsibility should have fallen on the
shoulders of q railroad man. Few
doubt that the big ditch will be con-
structed economically and well. The
spirit that placed a steel band across
the Rockies, that bridged Salt Lake,
that is tunneling under New York
City, that has been back of a thou
sand %stupendous railroad enterprises,
Will successfully unite the Atlantic
and Pacific There is another side to
this. The selection of a practical
railroad man means that there will
be few s%inecures in the canal job.
Men will be hired for their ability and
made to earn their wages, and favorit-
ism will stand little show of inter-
ferlng with good service. That is the
way most railroads are run, and it is
as it should be. The government has
plenty of money to invest, but none to
waste.

The Mania for Getting Rich.

The mania for getting rich-the
mad, false idea that we must have
money has played worse havoc
among ambitious people than war or
pestilence. A member of the Chicago
Board of Trade says that the men
and women Of this country contribute
a hundred million dollars a wear to
the sharpers who promise to make
them rich quick. They work the same
old scheme of a confidential letter and
shrewd batting, until the victim parts
with his money. Thousands are plod-
ding along in poverty and deprivation,
chagrined and Inundated because
they have not been able to get I'D in
the world or to realize their ambitions,
for the reason that they succumbed
to the scheme Of some smooth pro-
moter, who %hypnotized them into the
belief that they could make a great
deal very quickly out Of a very little.
The great fever Of trying to make
one dollar earn five dollars is growing
more and more contagious. We see
even women secretly going into brok-
ers' offices and bucket shops" invest
ing everything they have in all sorts
of schemes, drawing their deposits out
of the banks, sometimes pawning their
jewelry-even their engagement rings
and borrowing, hoping to make a lot
of money before their husbands or
families find it out and then to sur
prise them with the results: but. in
most cases, what they invest is hone
lessly lost.
Thousands of young Americans are
so tied up by financial or other entan.
clements, even before they get fairly
started in their life-work, that thew
can only transmute a 1.-THE of their
real ability or their splendid energies
into that which will count in their
lives. A large part of tits lost on the
way up, as the energy of the coal is
nearly all lost before it reaches the
electric bulb.-Success.

A DOG WHICH SAVES LIVES.
4-i-I-++++.*.+s+4++sI+

Rags" is a four-year-old dog, I'M
kempt and Unlocking. but a heroic
heart beats in his shaggy breast. Rags
has saved more than forty lives. His
field of service is the Klondike, where
he and his master have wintered for
several years. The Philadelphia North
American tells Of two Of the dogs ex.
ploits.
In the winter Of 1901 a number Of
men belonging to a Pittsburg mining
company were prospecting in Alaska.
They lived in a little wooden hut, from
which they went out in pairs to ex-
plore. They were away beyond any
sign of civilization, and the weather
was so severe that they endured a
good deal of suffering.
One day two of the men out on an
expedition were caught in a sudden
and terrific storm. They started back
for camp, but the trail was rapidly
covered by the drifting snow. On and
on the men plodded, each falling now
and again, only to be reused from the
death-dealing sleep and hustled on by
his companion. At last both sank, and
the snow drifted over them.
The men in the camp, alarmed by
the non-appearance of their comrades,
started out to rescue them. Rags went
along, too. Straight as an arrow he
followed the trail, and before long a
sharp yell told the party that their
friends had been found. The two men
We're completely buried in the snow,
and help had not come moment too
o This was Rags first exploit.
AT another time he went out as the
leader of sixteen dogs which were
dragging a rescue team to relieve n
party Of snow-bound miners. AS the
team was plodding steadily along
Rags suddenly gave a cry, broke from
the traces and bounded away. Think
ing he might have found the trail, the
party followed, and by the time they
had reached him Rage had dug away
enough snow to allow IN entombed
miner to crawl out.
Rags has saved forty-six lives and
made several record-breaking rescue
trips. His badge of honor is a gold
collar on which is inscribed a list Of
his deeds.

1t is not the least but one of the
greatest advantages of higher educa-
ton that the woman of to-day does
know herself much better than did
her mother or grandmother, and with
that self-knowledge comes a better
understanding Of her relations to the
world about her. The college girl of
to-day is healthier, stronger, saner.
more Independent, more ~resolute and
more useful than were the social but

her grandmother's time. In the ex-

as Of the mind is nov looked after

poverty Is caused by four things
drink, ineficiency and shiftlessness,
crime and a fondness for rowing. One
other cause that might be mentioned
Is a lack of money.
