The record of the congress just
and beneficial in the history of the
American nation, and the fine thing
about it is that it is Republican
record. Republicans may well feel
proud in belonging to a party that
can get such remarkable results as
the party has achieved In the ten
years last past. The unprecedented
prosperity that has stimulated this
nation has been Republican prosper
ity. The wonderful moral prosperity
that has stimulated this nation has
been Republican morality, and the
great spiritual awakening to a larger
national life, has been = Republican
awakening. It Is great party
that Republican party. Here and
there it goes wrong. and has to be re-
buked-for it is human; once in q
while its direction is against the cur
rent of progress, that is moving the
world toward its ultimate goal; but
in a series of years the purpose and
direction of the Republican party il
toward the right. The man who con-
sistently calls himself a Republican,

afraid to vote once IN a while agal INST
its crooked nominees, for the ever
lasting good of the party, will be a
pretty good American citizen, and
will have much to be proud of in his
party in making the nation strong
and great.-Emporia Gazette.
A well known lawyer is telling a
good story about himself and his ef-
forts to correct the manners of his
office boy. One morning not long
ago the young autocrat of the Office
blew in, and, tossing his cap at a
hook, exclaimed: Say, Mr.. Blank,
there's bail game at the park today,
and 1 am going down." Now, the at
Etorney is not hard hearted man,
and lie was willing the boy should go,
but thought he would teach him 4
lesson in good manners. Jimmie, -
he said kindly, ''that isn't the way to
ask a favor. Now, you come over
here and sit down, and I'll show you
how to do it, The boy took the Of
fee chair and his employer picked up
his cap and stepped outside. He then
opened the door softly, and, holding
the cap in his hand. said quietly to
the small boy In the big chair:
please, sir, there's a ball game at
the park today If you can spare me.
I would like. to get away for the after
noon" In flash the boy responded:
"Why certainly, Jimmie, and here is
fifty cents to pay your way in-" There
are no more lessons in manners in
that office.-Ex.

CORN IN THE CRIB

- Corn in the crib, the equivalent of money in the bank has been the
motto the farmers since the beginning of the Mckinley administration. The
corn crop is bigger this year than everb before, INC the rm sareg getting
more none for it. Under the policies Of the Republican party, with protec-
ton and sound money, the corn crop has become ass staple as that of wheat. 1t
makes no difference to the farmer in computing his yearly income whether the
corn is cnbbed or its money value is in the bank, so staple has sits market value
become. H- s~Mt Il
4-5 This change from the days when con vas gathered n used as fuel and
when the surplus could not be sold at a profit, has come under Republican adj
minitraton. 1t has come since the enactment of the Dingey law, which gave
our continued prosperity. The value of this crop ws more than a billion and a
quarter dollars Tasty year, and Will b. more valuable this year. The corn crop this
year would pay IF the national debt and leave a surplus.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that there has been a arge increase in the
banking facilities n the agricultural districts of the west. Instead of being
borrowers the farmers are nov depositos mt lenders This fortunate condi
ton is the direct result of the Republican policy of increasing domestic con
sumption by protecting domestic producers And yet there's are professional
pessimists who try TO persuade the farmers that there is nc prosperity in this
country except TO. the millionaire who is borrowing the farmers money to *
plot great enterprises. Once let the pessimists get conrol If the government
and they will demonstrate that their teachings are true as gospel They did it
in 1892 when they elected Grover Cleveland and a Democratic house and senate,
and they would do it again if the people should elect a Democratch house this
year With the promise Of a Democratic president, two years hence, the corn
would remain lin the crib, or be again sold, as it vas under the last Democratic.

WILLIAM BRADLEY BRUTALLY
ASSAULTED

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-As the
result of a deliberate and cold-blooded
assault made at an early hour yesterday
morning William H. Bradley, a ship
steward, was conveyed to the Harbor
Emergency hospital suffering from a
fractured skull. So far as could be as
certained, the attack upon Bradley was
perpetrated by a gang of FIVE men who
had followed him from East street 10
Howard street while he was ON his
way to his rooming house on Howard
street. Bradley turned up Howard
street and had. gone but a few PAGES
when he was suddenly surrounded by
the gang of murderous thugs, appar-
emily bent upon robbery.
just what t~ranspired is not known,
as Bradley was only able to state that
he had been attacked by five men be-
fore losing consciousness. He was con-
veyed by Police Officer Bell, who found
him lying upon the sidewalk some time
after the assault, to the Harbor hos
pital, and from there removed to the
Central hospital. The police are inclin-
ed to think that the assault may be an
aftermath of the late strike upon the
water front, but have no evidence to
support such a theory.

The Value Of Ridicule.

Congressman Nathan Hale is a scion
of good American stock, who has rep
resented the Second distric of Ten
nessee for two terms. His ancestors were
OF very ancient lineage, going back 20
Oliver Cromwell, while an Immediate
progenitor was a member of Wash
ington's staff. He is a good Republican
and a good man. Renominated this
summer the Democrats had concluded
not to nominate any one against him,
because it was conceded he would be
too hard to beat.
But in an evil moment some follow
with more accidental luck than sense,
started a story in the opposition press
to the effect hat Congressman Hale in
tended introducing in the House of
representative a bill abolishing and
declaring unconstitutional the peek-a.
boo waist. Now tina was a simple
thing to use against a man and the
average being would naturally think
that a matter like that could be easily
explained away. But, on the contrary
a storm broke, he women have taken
the field against him, the Democrats
have nominated a man and the cam
paign against Hale is being waged with
vigor. Every mention of his name is
a signal for laughter and jeering and
it looks as if he will be ridiculed out
of a seat in congress.
Ridicule is a strong weapon, fai
stronger than abuse. A man may b.
scolded until the other side sympathizcs
with him, but get the laugh on him
and his name is Dennis.-Ogden State

Always at the opening of the fall semester at the State University, lengthy

WATCH YOUR WORDS.

Keep watch on your words, my darlings. For words are wonderful things; They are sweet. like bees fresh honey Like bees. they have terrible stings. They can bless, like the warm, glad sun
 shine.
 And brighten lonely life; They can cut, in the bitter contest, Like an open, two-edged knife. Let them pass through the lips unehal-
 lenged,
 If their errand is true and kind If they come to support the weary, To comfort and help the blind; If bitter. revengeful spirit
 Prompt the words. let them be unsaid {; They may flash through a brain like
 lightning
 Or fall on a heart like lead. Keep them back. if they're cold or cruel, Under bar and lock and seal; The wounds they make. my darlings, Are always slow to heal. May peace guard your lives, and ever From the time of your early youth, May the words that you daily utter Be the words of beautiful truth. -Wayerley Magazine.

BOAT ON AIR-BAll BEARINGS.
London Inventor Makes Improve
 ment in Motor Craft.

London Inventor Makes Improve
 ment in Motor Craft.
 If the sanguine expectations of the inventor are realized. we are soon tt witness a revolution in motor boats says the London correspondent of the Washington Star. Instead of forcing their way through the water amid smother of spray the new type of craft will skim lightly over the surface on succession of air bubbles or globules that may be likened to ball bearings.
 The practicabillty of the idea Is tc be put to the test in boat now il course of construction by Saunders. . noted boat builder at Goring on the upper Thames. In shape the boat Is 8 mere box, some thirtythree feet long by eight feet wide, the bottom slopine upward at the forward end, forming 8 scow-shaped bow. She Is not pretty but In these hustling days 1t Is account ed no sin to sacrifice beauty to speed On each side and amidships are fixed three stout keels, each about eight inches deep. Between these, on eact side of the center keel. are seven other lighter plates of about half the depth, making seventeen in all, extending the full length of the bottom of the boat Between the fins or plates are number of holes sloping aft. They are con nected with an air compressor driven by a motor engine.
 The boat depends for propulsion on the reaction of the jets of air from these orifices, of which there are large number, striking the water. At the same time the air Is prevented by the fins from escaping to the sides of the boat, and thus, 1t Is claimed, Is formed a species of air bed between the water and the bottom of the boat, over which the craft will glide with much greater velocity than could be attained If fore. ed through the water In the ordinary fashion by a propeller. It sounds de lightfully simple in theory, but even to the lay mind It Is obvious that to sus. tain the weight of the boat the air bed would have to be at considerable pres sure, which would mean the absorption of a large amount of power. But tn inventor is no novice In dealing witt mechanical problems and has already brought out several successful inyen tions. He declares that a model boa, on the same lines as the craft he Is now building showed remarkable speed and demonstrated the practicability of hi, idea. In a few weeks the boat will be tested on the Thames. Then we shal know whether the air-ball bearing. really work.

Four -ffths of the civilized world live by time table. The clerk, the student the teacher, the factory-worker, the nurse, the cook, the doctor obey the clock with precision the year round. For them procrastination Is disaster. Great establishments, with hundreds of employees, reduce punctuality to scl. ence, and record by the time-clock ev. cry late arrival. The schoolmistress who enforces promptness on her pupils must be even more stern with herself. Devotion to the schedule is essential to our method of closely ordered life-the waste not, want not of our fore fathers applied to time. But It is wear 1t is no mark of moral incapacity to long to escape from 1t. Indeed, one of its worst effects is that Its victim be comes addicted to It. The tired sales woman plans her vacation hour by hour, with the sense that only so can she taste the whole of 1t. The teacher constructs an itinerary for her Euro pean trip so exact that she can tell you where she will spend every night of the two months. Yet If the vacation Is a short one, 1t should be passed away from time. The refreshment of freedom from the tyranny of hours and minutes Is incalculable. Not to know the time of day save by the sun is to be ones own master. To De late for everything that does not count ano early for everything that does is the supreme vacation privilege. The bell, the gong and the steam whistle should all be banished from the real vacation, and even the ticking of the clock may be forgotten. Times marches forward only by shadows on the grass or rosy fingers on the cloud. Thus for two weeks may the liberated spirit enjoy the freedom of the whole solar sys- tenn

 Seasickness is proven by Dr. Charles Dayison to be common effect of earth. quakes.

 Prof. J. H. Poynting recently de scrlbed before the Royal Society an "electric-touch' measuring machine which gives results superior to any ob- tainable with the usual mechanical touch" machines. The underlying prin. clple Is that electric contact is substi- tuted for mechanical contact in de termining, for instance the thickness of a gage or plate. Readings with the new machine are taken with ease and certainty to one two-hundreda and fifty thousandths of an inch, and even one quarter of this can be obtained if de sired.

In the case on which the decis ion was based, one car of lead ore coming from British Columbia, weigh ed 62,050 pounds gross, but with the moisture removed, only 60,313 pounds The figures for another car were re spectively G5,100 pounds and 6305C pounds.
