FAME.

1t has been said to us many times
incidentally Il have an article or
poem | ought to send for your
TINES as if our journal was an
"open door" We have made no
reply as it was only a remark and
did not come to business matter.
The other day woman. who has
never bought a copy of the paper,
while well-to-do, said to us: 81
have written a poem and ought to
send it to your paper" She would
be surprised to hear that one who
has subscribed now for the third
year, has also paid us twenty cents
line for an article inserted; and,
last Christmas put into our hand a
piece Of gold. We print an expen-
sive paper (not cheap affair." and
we charge the local price only for
an insertion.
But even then, we would not
print line that was not on the
same lines" not perfectly en-
rapport, with our view of matters
and things"
And that makes the difference
betwixt
Tweedle dunn and
Tweedle dee in
every transaction of life, my dear
reader.

SMALL FARMING.


They had to fight food and they
had to fight drought; they must
fight locust, canker-worln and cat
erpillar and often forest fires; and
not here, did the enemies to farm
ing and to settling the West halt,
by any means. There was hunger
and cold to be faced, there was
Gtern self-sacrifce on every hand
to be met. There was swamp and
bog and mud and chills-and-fever
and fences to be made to keep tn
few cattle from straying miles:
and hard work and earnest wit and
contrivance in planning for the
winter months. 1t was victory or
defeat; but, the men. the pioneers,
were heroes and all their faculties
Of mind and body became as finely
attuned and sharpened as a Da
mascus blade from the very stress
and Importance of the battle. They
had not gone, struck out into that
new country, to write: Failure"
on their banners. 1t was victory
in the end though many suffered
and many died only half old, and
the sous took up the hoe and the
plough share where the father drop
ped it. And villages came to light
in few seasons, and towns Joined
hands and territories became states,
and the descendants of those pio-
neers are to-day the legislators Of
the mighty West.

RICHES.

Our slogan has always been:
Give us, O Congress, Chinese la
Dor for Our plantations, for by our
sugar, we must stand Or fall, as
to vitality and Importance. Added
to that, we of course need much
and many: New public buildings
to help mechanical enterprise and
day-labor we need more road
way and more bridges; we need
land in small parcels, and Oery
cheap, to help farming along. And
what about the shop-keeper? Oh
after that the shops would be
crowded to the door every day,

President Gives New Equitable Head
 Certificate of Innocence.
 WASHINGTON, June 22.-President Roosevelt has given Paul Morton, sec 1. refary of the navy and newly chosen head of the Equitable Life Assurance society, certificate of innocence in connection with violations of the anti. rebate law by the Santa Fe railroad, of which Mir. Morton was formerly vice president
 In! doing this the president has taken, with Attorney General Moody, a deter mined stand in disapproval of the ad- vice of the special counsel, Messrs. Harmon and Judson. who advised prosecution of the officers of the Santa Fe, particularly E. S. Ripley. the presi- dent. and MT. Morton, for contempt of court in granting rebates to the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company in viola tion of an injunction obtained by the interstate commerce commission. Har- mon and Judson resigned because they could not have their way.
 Not only does the president absolve Mir. Morton in the rebate matter, but he predicts success for him as head of the regenerated Equitable Assurance society and couples his name with that of Grover Cleveland as an influence of stability and honesty in the conduct of that institution. He says, Your policy I know will be to give the policy hold CTS square deal and to clean house thoroughly"
 The president winds up his letter to Mir. Morton by declaring that the Equi- table scandal demonstrates the need for government supervision of insur- ance corporations engaged in interstate commerce.
