Katherine L. Danisher in Leslie's Weekly.
When the trees upon the hillside don the
crimson and the gold
And keener grow the breezes day BY day,
Blowing gayly from the Northland DER the
forest and the world,
Then TO .childhoods days my thoughts
over long forgotten pathways in the fields
Ere my life knew aught of sorrow or of
sghs;
And in fancy once again taste the bllss
/ used TO know
When the time had come for making
pumpkin pies,
/ can see the quaint old farmhouse, with
the hollyhocks so gay;
Close beside 1t were the fields OF yellow
Noddins sayIy in the sunshine as 1t ripened
Til at harvest time it's glories all were
Then the merry huskers gathered In the
roomy old red barn
Lads and iassies from the country far and
And a tempting spread would follow.

While they munched the good old fashioned
pumpkin pie.
The crust was crisp and haky. It was done

And the golden nilinE spread with gen.
All the nectar and ambrosIa for which
heather gods might yearn
Never with this toothsome dainty could

When the healthy youngsters gathered

On the wholesome fare we cast longing
eye,
While our father asked a blessing that
seemed all too lengthy when
We were waiting 10 attack the pumpkin

When the Midas touch of autumn turns the
woodland into gold,
And the chill wind through the treetops
seems TO sigh
Every zephyr breathes a mem'ry that 70

And I long for just one home mado

PARIYG DEpARrMENr ESTIMATES


Those whoappreciate the necessity Of
economy in public expenditures, in order
to put stop to deficits, will regard
with satisfaction the action Of Secretary
Taft in pairing the estimates for the War
department. The amount he will ask
congress to appropriate is nearly $10-
100000 less than the appropriations for
the current fiscal year, and many more
millions below the estimates upon which
the appropriations We're based. The
total amount which congress will be
asked to appropriate for the War depart
ment is little less than $105,OO0,OO0.
The example thus set by the secre-
tary Of war, IL It shall be followed by
the heads of other departments, will
effect such a reduction in the expendi-
lures Of the government as will remove
all danger of deficit and thus obviate
the necessity of raising more revenue
by additional taxation. And there is
good reason to believe that the example
will be followed. 1t is the evident deter
mination of the administration to curtail
expenses wherever it can be done with
out detriment to the public service and
it is not to be doubted that a total re-
duction is practicable at least equal TO
the amount of the deficit at the close of
the last fiscal year. If this be done the
existing sources of revenue will be
ample for the financial requirements Of
the government and may even yield a
small surplus.

EFFECT ON RUSSIAN CREDIT

The Russian government desires to
negotiate another loan of several hun
bred millions of dollars. There is no
doubt that it greatly needs the money.
The return of the Manchurian army will
entail a heavy expenditure. Immediate
steps should be taken for increasing the
navy. There is urgent necessity for
relieving the restitution in those prov
inces where the crops have been a
nearly complete failure These things
call for more money than the govern
ment now has, in addition to which it
must provide for the interest. amounting
to $132, 100000 annually, on it's great
foreign debt. which exceeds $4,000

have money TO continue the war with
Japan and are not likely TO loan any
under existing circumstances. British
and American capitalists, II is safe to
say, will not deal with a government
which may be on the verge OF dissolu-
ton or Of changes that viii practically
amount to that. AS matters now stand,

Russia has no credit I'm the worlds
money markets. Those who hold her
securities are of course endeavoring to
bolster them up, but they realize that
unless the autocratic rule is maintained
these bonds will become very nearly
worthless. Perhaps no government that
might be established would repudiate
them, but new terms would be made
with the bondholders that would ma
terially reduce the value of the securi-
ties. The present financial condition of
the Russian government is manifestly
very grave and must inevitably grow
more serious before the difficulties now
confronting It are surmounted.

Tactics of the Corporations.
Chica 90 News

In the circumstances the action taken by
the opponents of rate regulation looks
very much like deliberate effort to dis
credit this policy in the eyes of the peo-
pie. without regard to its essential merits.
The remarkable exertions which railway
influences are putting forth to stamp out
any organized effort to get rate regula-
ton plans before the people are signif-
cant feature OF the situation. II has yet
to be discovered whether or not the Amer
lean public is capable Of securing such
federal laws as It needs or whether It
must be content with such laws as the
railways are willing for It to have In
the meantime everybody should mark well
the tactics employed by the friends of the
railways in attempting to mold public
opinion or crush It out.

A Narrow-Minded Autocrat.


1t was additionally unfortunate for the
opposition that D. NJ. Parry was a recog-
nized leader. His views were narrow, his
department autocratic and his influence
vicious When he described the movement
for rate regulation as a piece OF socialism
or a step towards 1t. his argument was the
same as he has used toward unionism and
as mistaken. Parry himself has been a
more effective missionary for the social
lists than any Of the accredited members of
that order. BY showing the intolerance of
capital, he has fortified the ranks of la
Dor, and by proclaiming belief in the
mischievousness of organization, he has
antagonlzed thousands who are Interested
in the great struggle only as it manifests
itself in influence on the whole nation and
gives opportunity for viewing 1t as a
square deal" II Mr.. Roosevelt had been
searching assiduously for some movement
which would enhance his chance OF sue
cess in securing the passage of a rate
regulation measure, he could have found
nothing better than the opposition Of the
element in which Parry is a distinguished
factor.

There will be no publication from the
War Department, based on the reports OF
our military observers in ManchuTia during
the late war. until all the army officers
who served in that capacity have returned
TO this country and submitted their COM
ments. Lieutenant General Chaffee deems
this necessary before there is any attempt
to give to the army or to the public an
edition of the official reports. Indeed, II
may be said that It is still a question
whether a report OF any sort or TO any
extent will be divulged save in a form
which will be regarded a confidential
publication for the benefit of army officers.
II must be recognized, however, that such
a restriction of publicity hampered by obli-
cations of secrecy will have its disadvant-
ages and perils, since, regardless of in
dividual inclination to observe the depart
mental condition of confidence, there may
be at any time such careless handling Of
the report as will give It a wider circulation
than was originally intended. Most of the
War Department people believe that the
best military ends will be served by hav-
ing the reports intelligently expurgated and
published I'm a form which will not en-
barrass their authors. who are understood

NEW ENGLAND AND THE WEST.
More Good VIII and Less PrOddlng
n Desirable Communication.
Ioo.to, fatoba

Boston Globe.
Western newspapers delight in their filings
at Boston and New England 1t is idle
to deny that there is a certain prejudice
abroad against us. This prejudice arises
from ignorance, ignorance here as well as
there. "i
New England self-sufficiency, which is at
its maximum, in the vicinity of Boston, is
resented. II, too, know something" the
Russian minister hotly insisted in the
midst of one of Clratles Summers lofty and
lengthy monologues, which that illustrious
statesman sometimes mistook for CONVERSE
ton. That is the way the west seems to
feel toward New England on some occa-
sions.
Then there is "a certain condescension"
which the British made Lowell feel and
which some New Englanders pass on to the
westeTners. The new country is very sem
sitive to the opinion OF the old country, far
more so than the latter can appreciate.
Too many New Englanders delight to
air their indifference TO things which are
important to the west. and their ignorance
of things which the west celebrates. A
real westerner is capable Of writing in
torture under the. knowledge that some
untraveled persons down here do not know
the population of his city, that there is a
Kansas City in Missouri and that Omaha
is not an immediate suburb Of Chicago.
But the westerner should reflect that New
England has paid we'll for all her miscon-
ceptions of the west. If she had known
that country better the west would be many
millions poorer and New England investors
correspondingly richer. At the same time
it must be conceded that New England
has initiated and sustained some of the
most daring. farseeing and successful of
the great enterprises which have entered
into the upbuilding of the west.
