If simple habits. farm rearing. old
fashioned neighborliness and hOspi-
tality are virtues that the American
voter loves in Presideut-then Judge
Parker has the beginnings of a strong

party.
Judge Parker was born on a farm,
and his home today is on a farm nine
miles from the nearest tOw1. There is
a significance in the fact that the
greatness which now single him ont
as the candidate of his party has radi-
ated from the country village where.
as q young man he began the study OF
law. and where he eourted his wife.
He has never found it necessary tO
leave that village or to give up its
simple life.

cause they are lacking in the under

man or woman can render to a COM

others to attempt to do the things of

1t is well to have ideas, and our
schooling and our training prompt Us
to get ideas from others That is all
right If each of Us started where the
earliest man started, each of us would
accumulate but little in life time, and
there would never be the rolling for
ward of the ball of knowledge. So no
man can afford to be absolutely inde-
pendent 10 his thinking or in his in
yestigations. Yet each of Us should
guard against accepting ideaS just be-
cause we hear them or just because we
are told them or just because chance
has thrown rs in with group of people
following one idea Each thought of
importance, therefore, that comes to
our brain asking for admission should
be examined. Let Us accept no thought
because we are hidden to it: for that is
slavery of intellect. A thought should
be invited to stay. Then it becomes a
guest.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-26

The flower of the field is then to Us
an emblem of the mutual dependence
of human beings upon one another.
and the dependence of all upon power
greater than themselves Life as we
live it therefore appears to be some
thing like our own political condition.
Not all can be President, but all, di-
rectly or indirectly. can have a voice
in the lifting up of that President; and
even as the vote of the many produc-
Is result, SO the great flower of civili-
zation among us takes its root in the
very humblestof us. hidden away and
yet working faithfully.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-26

Aud while we are thinking on q sub
ject that arises from the field, let us
look at another human analogy. In
the field we see the stalk and the fiow-
er and after the flower the fruit, and
the fruit cannot come without the
flower, aud the flower cannot rise into
the sunshine without the stalk, aud
they all of them can do nothing ex-
cept through the power of the roots
hidden out of sight, and the roots in
turn are dependent upon Influences
that they themselves do not cause, and
without which they themselves could
do nothing.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

There is a belief that the area of rain
fall is pushed further west into the
arid regions by blowing. and an IN
known poet has based upon this very
beautiful idea As the earth is mellow
ed it gives and gets more than when its
face was hard and dry. And again he
points out that where the soil let's in
the sun, it is rewarded always with
water
This may or may not be pOetieal
fancy in relation TO the land. but is is
certainly fact in relation to human
life. They never lack blessings who
give them away, or. as the scriptures
say There is that scattereth and
yet increaseth.7 They too give most
to the world who turn towards it a
face grown benign under the pIOwshare
of affiictiou; for they know what sill
yer lining there can be to cloud, what
a blessing in disguise burden may be,
and therefore they know how to come
in heart touch with others who also
pass through afflietiOn. For our idle
hours indeed the merry jest is well
enough. but in the hours when the
very foundations of the great depths
within US are broken up. there is
strength and there is new courage in
the gentle voice showing forth an un-
derstanding spiri, of just what we are
going through. Some blessed helpers
in this life do attain this gift of help
fulness without their own severe suf-
fering, and it is gift, and no small
one when it dwells in the heart by ma
ture, of man or a woman.
Carrying out still further the idea of
the poet, let Us believe that to produce
things in this world is good. OF course,
we are not narrow enough to say that
only those who grow things from the
ground are producers Life has be-
come far more complex than it used TO
be. There are producers of the thOus-
ing of the home, and without them
our shelter places would be bare. But
prod ucers are not alone those who can
place in our hands something that we
can feel aud handle and taste. There
are producers also of thoughts and of
ideas, men and women who make two
good deeds to come forth where only
one came forth before. So we must in
sist upon our minds being liberal when
We insist upon our neighbors being
producers Some men out of their
wealth spend their time gathering to-
getner art objects. They produce
something out of their wealth that is
worth while; for art objects are part
of the records of this wonderful human
race to which we belong.
But there are those who produce
nothing that can be thought of credit
ably, aud no matter how rich they are,
let us never waver one moment from
the belief that life is hollow aad empty
and unsatisfactory for such. Truly
the only happy people are those have a
definite aim, and work for it day after
day; and then to that happiness they
can add one greater one, if the work
they are doing in some way is reaeting
upon others for their benefit.
This is little far removed from the
rain belt, but yet it is connected with
it; for even as plowed field is blessed
by the rain because it is bringing forth
a crop, so the working man and woman
of every rank is blessed in their daily
life because of the work that they are
doing.
