THE presidents message was given
to congress on Tuesday. 1t was one OF
the longest messages of recent years,
the COURIER giving its readers this
week six full columns of its leading
features. It's contents had been so fully
foreshadowed by the telegraphic dis
patches that there few were surprises.
Notwithstanding all reports to the
con trary, President Roosevelt fstasads
pat" on the rate question and In ringing
tones and unmistakable terms lays this
before the nation as the supreme and
imperative issue. A square deal" js
all he asks for. but this he holds up as
an immediate demand. Economy in
expenditures and reform In revenues
are urged. Tariff revision is suggested,
however, for cautious and judicious
study, changes to be made only when
demanded by the condition of our re-
venues or the need Of more intimate
commercial relations with other ma
tions Government supervision OF life
insurance is commended, state regula-
tion being declared as having been
found inadequate. Trusts, the labor
question, federal elections, the Panama
canal and The merchant marine all
come la for attention and are treated
broadly and iudiciously, Indeed there

afford any reasonable standing ground

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
How are all the dear childrenl As Aunt Busy
told you last week, she is enjoying vacation high
up in the California mountains, near by of the
most beautiful lakes in the world. Away in the
distance can be seen the rugged gray-blue
tans of Nevada, while west of the lake are woods
filed with pine trees. The trees grow to an i'm
mense height and are covered with green moss.
Hundreds of wild flowers grow in the woods,
and three varieties of violets are found near the
river.
Aunt Busy went for long walk today and ran
across an Indian camp. There were six children
in the camp, one a tiny pappoose. The little
pappoose was fat little midget with round, twin
king eyes. She was playing with long stick
and racing up and down on wide board. Near
her were two little chipmunks, just as tame as
dttie-pussies. The chipmunks were darting
around Aunt Busys feet and she gave a funny
squeal. All the Indian children laughed long and
loud because she was afraid. Even the pappoose
laughed and hit the ground with her stick.
They all stood on the river bridge and shouted
"Good-bye!" and Come again!" when Aunt Busy
left. So you may be sure she Is going to see them
again Faithfully. AUNT BUSY.

Mr.. Rooster Learns Sometime.

Mr.. Rooster finished his breakfast and picked
up book to read. He was great reader and he
liked books.
"This is good he said as he glanced down the
page.
What is" asked his wife
"I'll read it." answered Mr.. Rooster; and he
read:
Never let day go by without learning sofae-
thing"
THAT Is very good" said his wife
Mr.. Rooster laid down the book and stroIled
out into he street.
q wonder what [ can learn today:" he said to
himself.
Several boys were gathered in the street about
big thing that looked like very fat bologna
sausage to Mr.. Rooster. As he looked on the boys
turned and ran away.
THAT is foolish" said Mr.. Rooster. They
should have waited and learned what the thing is.
Now /. shall go over there and l~arn something"
So he strutted over to the big red thing and
looked at it all around and at both ends, but ne
couldn't make out what it
All [ see" said he, as he perched himself on
top of the affair. "all 1 see is little fixing fire
over at this end"
At this very moment there was terrible eX-
plosion and the frecracker went off.
Forty feet in the air it sent Mr.. Rooster. Every
feather in his tail and half the feathers on his back
were blown out His eyes were flled with powder,
his feet were burned to blisters.
When he landed on the ground he didn't know
whether he was dead or alive.
lie finally pulled himself together and hobbed
home to roost best he could.
"Have you learned anything todayI' asked his
wife as he entered the chicken house.
Yes" he answered. Il learned something but
j don't know what it is"

She tried to pull out pink flower, but the

stem snapped and the flower fell

eyes sparkling from her play outdoors. She ran

The Stun Child in the Country.

At luncheon given by Mrs. Alice Barber
Stephens the illustrator, at her new home at Moy-
lam the talk turned for awhile to the various char
liable societies that give slum children outings in
the country in the summer.
Remarkable instances were narrated of slum
children's ignorance of country life-their idea
that milk was extract of the mil5weed, that
eggs came from the eggplant, that mush was
product of the mushroom, and so on.
Those instances" said Mrs Stephens. "are old
and well known But let me tell you of new one
that happened last summer.
"a little east side boy was on his first country
excursion He lay on the grass in peach orchard
making chain of daisies and buttereups. Across
the blue sky line of birds darted, and his hostess
young woman, said:

The Ennlish Goat.

One day goat found pile of tomato cans
and proceeded to devour them. a poet passed that
way and, gazing on the goat said:
Thy visage is that of a goat, but thy actions
decidedly asinine"
81 wonder what on earth he can mean!" cried
the goat, as the poet passed on his way. Il never
heard such large words before
Then he strolled along little farther and pres
entity he found dictionary.
"Oh!'' exclaimed the goat. This is the book
that has all the big words, and [ guess can find
out III it what the poet meant. But, them l can't
read" he pondered "What am I to do?"
Then a happy thought occurred to him.
4 shall eat the book he said, "and then shall
have all the words in use. Surely shall be learned
enough then"
And the goat devoured the dictionary, big words
and little words and all, and when he got through
he was no wiser than when he began.
just then the man to whom the dictionary be-
longed came along, and he gave the goat sound
thrashing.
And the goat decided that it is not well to ac-
qulre too much learning in too short a tine

THE iRISH-AMERICAN AS
A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE
CONTINUED from Page IL

The first great need of everybody going in there is
lumber, with which to build houses. On this side
of the mountains large timbered areas exist. 1t
TRANSFERRED that the settlers We're complaining
because the retail prices of lumber were so high,
and settlement was to q certain extent checked in
consequence. As it is Mr.. Dennis business to
people the country he decided to look into this
complaint, and he found peculiar condition
listing. An organization called the Retail Lumber
mems association, which consisted of the men who
retailed lumber at different points, had perfected
an agreement by which the mill men bound them
selves not to sell lumber to anybody who was not
a member of this association, There would be
town with retailer, or possibly two and third
man would come IN and, satisfying himself that
the conditions of settlement were good might de
eide to invest his money in third lumber yard.
Such man would go to the Retailers associa-
ton, but its officers would tell him that they could
not give him certificate of membership to estab-
lish a third yard in that place. He would then go
over to British Columbia, bringing with him let
ter of introduction from leading bank and ask
ing to buy three million feet of lumber on sight
draft In spite of his capital and credit, when it
was found that he had certificate of member
ship it made plain that he could not go into
business
The railroad took the ground that the retailers
had combined to control the lumber market, and
that they were holding lumber prices unduy high
to the great injury of every settler going into that
arrangement, and was in position to make eff
fective opposition to it. In connection with the
struetion of certain lines in British Columbia
s-4 Canadian Pacific railroad came into possession
of land grants comprising 100000 acres. In the
South koetenay country 1t owns 60 per cent of the
timber. Dennis suggested to the management of
the road that unless the mountain and coast mill
men, the producers, and the association, as the
retailers, would agree to put the lumber business
on the basis other retail trade, they should
open sawmls on their own lands and deliver hum
Der to the settlers at proper prices.
You can understand the howl that went up when
this proposal was made known to the association.
1t had at first declined to accede to the request.
But Dennis told the association that he was not
blufing; that he should smash the combine or know
the reason why. There nothing for them to do
but to Yield and the price of lumber was reduced
50 thousand at the first crack.
Thus did Celtic ingenuity break lumber trust
and incidentally open up the possibilities of home
to thousands who otherwise would have been de-
tered from attempting the difficult task of home
building in an undeveloped country.

lately conceived; l. e., God suppressed the effect of
the general law at the moment of her conception
because she was to be the mother of His Son This
IS the plain, simple meaning of the dogma of the
immaculate Conception; and the inconsistency of
those who object to this teaching is evident from
the fact that 90 per cent of the directors do not
believe in original sin. Hence the inconsistency of
error Is always best seen when contrasted or
brought face to face with the real truth
The Assumption touches another phase in the
life of the Blessed Virgin which occurred after her
death. The mother, who was one of the. SPECTATORS
of the tragic scene that occurred on Calvary, was
consigned by her dying Son to the care of the
beloved disciple. Tradition says that she lived for
twenty-three years after the Ascension Of her Son
into heaven. On the same authority we are told
that after a well-spent life full of humility and
always resigned to Gods holy will, when the time
allotted for her on earth had come calmly and
peacefully, surrounded by all the Apostles except
st. Thomas, she slept in the Lord. Her body was
carefully laid to rest. The Apostles, according to
this venerable tradition, kept careful vigil On
the return of St. Thomas from a distant mission
he was informed of her death. He appealed to his
brother Apostles for the privilege of seeing the
body of the mother of his Lord and God The
earnest appeal granted. On the opening of
the tomb the same glorious scene that occurred On
the morning of the Resurrection presented itself.
The body taken up to heaven, and nothing re
manned but the white garment in which it was en-
veloped when laid to rest
This event is celebrated as the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin into heaven. It's origin dates
back to the primitive Church and has its folnda-
ton in Apostolic tradition. It has not been de-
fined as an article of faith like the Immaculate
Conception, but the faith of Catholics from the
days of the Apostles down to the present preserves
it as one of the grand monuments of ancient ira
dition the fitting consummation of the mys terie;

WITHOUT SIGNIFICANCE.

The results of the elections in vari-
Gus parts of the country last Tuesday
are without significance so far as par
tv politics are concerned. No where
were party lines strictly drawn, there
being fusions and combinations Of ev-
cry conceivable kind.
In Ohio, where Mr.. Patterson, demo-
crat, was elected governor by a ma
iority OF 10, 600, the prohibitionists and
the democrats fused. In New York
the republican candidate for mayor
was not in the running at all. Nc
CIelland, democrat, defeated Hearst,
independent, by little more than 1900
votes. The latter has begun vigor-
Gus contest, the result of which is IN
certain. In Pennsylvania, which has
been giving nearly a half million re-
publican majority as regularly as the
polls we're opened, there was a com
plete upheaval The Philadelphia re-
formers and democrats fused with
the result that a republican-reformer
was elected mayor of the city and a
democrat treasurer Of the state. In
Louis Vile the republicans and the re-
formers fused, but the democratic can
didate defeated the combination and
was elected mayor. In San Francisco
the democrats and the republicans
fused, but were defeated by the union
labor party, which elected every can
didate on it's ticket. In Chicago the
republicans made practically a clear
sweep, and captured every single Of
fee except one. In Maryland the
proposed amendment seeking to dis
franchise the negro was defeated, ano
the democrats elected their candidates
for state offices.
