so. And you could find no fairer time
for the trip than the early Indian
summer. The scenes that opened be-
fore my eyes as we gradually assembled
the mountain on fine autumn day
are others of the mountain views that
rise out of my memory's past-fair,
vivid, beloved.
And now the chances of life have
brought me again into a loving init
macy with our North Carolina noun
tains. Again the autumn with it's ten

thoughts of kindness and the wide

spite of its frailty its errancy, ever
holds for its kind.

Ever since We knew the show was
piled for Philadelphia for Satur-
DAY, and that we would have to stay
over Sunday in that town, there has
peen symptoms of revolt. EVERYBODY
connected with the show has horror
OF being found dead in Philadelphia.
They claim that it is too dead for
live people, and not very satisfactory
TO dead people.
A performer who was with the
show last year says that nobody but
the newspaper people who have free
tickets ATTENDED the performances,
and some of them wouldn't go in the
tent unless the press agent promised
TO set up a free lunch, with devilish
ginger ale to drink, and that the
press people got riotous on ginger ale.
A ginger ale jag is terrible. When a
man is full of ginger ale his intestines
loop the loop, and tie up in knots,
and grippe like cholera infantum, and
unless his friends hold him he goes
out into the world and wants to kill
the women and children, and nom
combatants.
Last year our press agents filled up
the members of the local pres with
ginger ale, and when We struck Phil
adelphia this time the newspapers
had sworn out warrants for our show,
on the charge of compromising TEL
ony, which l suppose is the legal
name for ginger ale. The way the
Quakers patronize a show is to put on
their gray clothes, and their big
white hats and stand on the corners

before me,-a wondrous picture which
changes with the seasons, and even
with the hours.
The distant hills that are backed
by the line of mountains are taking
on a soberer hue. The autumn fires
are beginning to flame along the road

tive of decay, these fall days are, per-
haps one thinks.
THE autumn is the very loveliest
time of the year.

POOR PUBLIC SERVICE.

TN CONVERSATION with a gentle
Il man the other day. a man who has
held a prominent Office and who has
been mentioned in connection with
higher Office, we were struck with the
Respondent note in which he discussed
present local politics. And it was all
the more striking because he is in
clined towards the optimistic.
He declared that we are not seek
ing to place our best men IN Office and
that In many instances they are not
even representative men. Conse-
quently, he said, there is a vast amount
Of inefiiciency among officials. jobs
and great deal of graft.
Then he sought to explain the cause
for the condition which he had depict
ed. He found that it lay in two
sources the Indifference Of the more
Intelligent class Of voters and the cor
responding activity Of the lower order
OF politicians and in that loyalty to
party which leads into the endorse
ment Of men who take the party name
IN vain.
why" said he. members Of the
Legislature are told when bill comes
up that the party wants sc or doesn't
want It. and the members like a focl
OF sheep follow their respective lead
ers. But" he went on, that isn't tho
worst; men in the name Of Republi-
cans or Democrats demand conces-
sions and rske-offs that are rean,
nothing but steals"
When we asked him for the remedy
he had none. "The people want thil
sort Of thing OF they wouldn't have it,
was his solution. We have heard 4
great deal Of this kind of talk in thu
last few years and undoubtedly It con
tains a very large amount OF truth
There is a remedy near at hand: it lie
IN the very nature Of our institutions
but to make the application is an

TT BEGINS to appear that the true

beef trust win never be brought 10
light. Commissioner Garnelds inves-
tigation and report caused almost a
smile. for there was reason for in
oredulity
subsequently the reason for his in
ability TO hnd anything damaging APP
peared-the trust kept two sets Of ac-
counts, one open to the inspection of
an lnquirers and the other which was
kept secretly
The Federal Court Of Chicago was
apprised of this state of affairs and
set to work to slit the matter to the
bottom. Captain Porter. a Secret Ser
vice man, was detailed TO keep a
watch ON the set Of secret accounts
that at-the proper time the grand jury
might peruse their items
But when these accounts are wanted
it is discovered that they have been
sent out Of the jurisdiction, probably
into Canada. The Secret Service man
should be given a chance to explain.
but the Federal authorities should not
stop there. For the keeping Of a se-
cret set Of books is in itself sufficient
evidence to prove the duplicity Of the
officials of the trust And if the
books were surreputiously removed
somebody is responsible. and # is prob
able that those who had the greatest
reason for getting them out OF the
jurisdiction are the heads Of the trust
