The Old Folks.

Notwithstanding the stormy day,
Wednesday, the 'old folks had a
vely enjoyable time. Closed rigs were
employed in bringing the old people
to and from the tabernacle. A large
turnout attended the dance in the
Hillyard hall in the evening, and did
not leave until late hour. AS 1t was
an old folks dance, quadrillcs and
reels formed prominent part Of the
dances and were certainly enjoyed.
Many people from Lewiston, Treasure
ton, Mapleton, Preston and Richmond
were present and entered into the
spirit of the day with the home folks.
One Of the most enjoyable times in the
history of the celebration of old folks
in Smithiicld was spent this year.
Mr.. j. Meikle was chairman Of the
day and right well did his genial smile
and able handling of the doings con-
tribute to the general happiness.
b. A. Hendricks and wife OF Lewis
ton were visitors on old folks day.

TITLES ONLY FOR WEALTHY.
Englishmen Must Have Certain In.
come Before Ennoblement.

Sordid questions of finance enter
into the consideration OF the eligibility
of those upon whom an English mon
arch would confer the distinction Of
knighthood, and there are many who
might use the coveted prefix Sir did
they possess larger income.
II is, roughly speaking, a rule that
knighthood shall not be conferred
upon any one who has not an income
Of at least $4,000 upon which to main
tain his knightly dignity, while baro-
net, before his creation, must not
only be found to have an income of at
least $4,000 year, but must further
be able to purchase country seat
and be able to suitably provide for
his eldest son.
While knighthood or ennoblement
is mark Of distinction awarded for
distinguished merit, It is held that its
conference would only embarrass
those who could not afford tc keep
up the dignity OF their station.

NEWSPAPER READING

New York Mail.-What does the
newspaper do to you, gentle reader?
Are you really a gentle reader, as a
result Of your daily perusal of the
morning and evening sheets, or are
you a savage reader? Granted that
you are gentle. is it the gentleness Of
strength and sanity, OF the subtle de-
cay of dawning imbecility7
The latest batch of doctors to dis
cuss the patient clinically disagree in
characteristic fashion. Sidney Reeve,
the socialist, implies that the reader is
becoming savage rather than gentle.
Competition, he says, means "overex-
ertion," and the newspaper is shaped
to interest and amuse tired brain:
'It appaels to the impulses which most
promptly open the pocket, to sharp
little stir Of the baser passions" Nine
ty-fiye per cent of the reading done of
daily journals. he says, lis of the same
hideous sort of debauchery of the mind
that the degenerate Romans used to
excise with the stomach-gluttony re-
lieved by artificial unna tural rejection.
and carried on from the lowest motives
the over-titillation Of sensory nerves
finally become too tired to respond to
ordinary wholesome excitation.s

A WISE DEcLlNATlcN.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press.-Eyer si1ce
Lincoln put Salmon p Chase "out Of
the running" as a competitor for the
presidential nomination by making
him chief justice of the supreme court
the acceptance of an appointment to
the supreme bench has been regarded
by the people as equivalent to sur
render Of all further political ambition.
Some of the judges have resented
such an understanding, and have let It'll
be known that they were still in re-
ceptive mood toward preferment to-
the White House should people call
them But the people have never called. /
They object, and rightly, to any aspira-t
lions which might color the attitude OF
a supreme judge on any question COM
ing before him, and regard the honor
Of an elevation to "the most powerful.
tribunal on EARTH" as something which!
Should satisfy any ordinary ambition.
But occasionally man looms SO
large In the public eye and seems so
highly endowed with the qualities Of
leadership. executive force and judg-
ment. that the people object to his be-
Ing "shelved," even so honorably as
by elevation to the supreme bench.
They may have other uses for him. |
They have such uses for Secretary
Taft today; they may have yet higher
use for him in 1908. At any rate, they
do not want to see him placed vet
awhile among the timber made una
valuable for presidential purposes by
being wrapped In the gown of a SUI
preme judge.
So there will be general satisfac-
ton among republicans that the secre-
tary has declined President Roose-
velt's proffer. He would adorn the
bench-of that there is no doubt. But
there are other men to be had with the
peculiar equt. ment desirable there:
while Taft has not only this, but a Ger.
tain adaptness to carrying on the work
begun by President Roosevelt. when
the latter shall retire. Which the peo.
pie are coming to recognize in increas.
ing numbers day by day. Therefore
the nation can well wait until the next
republican national convention shall
have been held before it shall be de-
cided that there's no better place than
the supreme bench for so attractive.

MUST MARK THEM ALL

Congressman Lacey has made the
good suggestion that a campaign of
education be carried ON in order that
voters may carry out their intentions
when they enter the booth at the Nov.
ember election. There Is a danger
That on account Of the change in the
ballot there will be many errors in
voting, the change being the removal
OF the circles from the top of the bal
lot The circle was originally placed
there, In front of the name of the
party in order that one might vote a
straight ticket without going down the
list and marking the square before the
name Of every candidate of the party.
There are many who have followed
the practice of voting the straight
ticket, who are liable to fall into the
error of placing cross in the first
square with the idea that they are vot-
ing the straight ticket. counting one
for every man on the list in that party.
The fact is that only the person in
front Of whose name the square is
located will be voted for.
Every voter must go over his ticket
carefully and place the cross in the
square attached to the name Of the
candidate for whom he wishes to vote.
1t is not hard task and if all are in
formed Of the character of the ballot
that will be handed them there will
doubtless be little difficulty In voting
correctly.
Even with the complications connect
ed with the voting when there were
both the circles and the squares on the
ballot there were comparatively few
who lost their votes on account of err
roneous marking, and some education
In the matter will, it Is believed, guide
practically all the voters in a man
ner that will insure their tickets being
counted Each man should remember
that he can not vote the straight ticket
without marking the square In front
of every candidate. But he is also
insured that there will be no compli-
city with circle this time IL he
wishes to scratch his ticket. The
method will be the same as before,
simply TO mark the cross before the
name of the candidate for whom he
wishes to vote, no matter where it may
be found on the ballot.
1t is usually hard to change election
laws after they are once established
for it only serves to confuse the voters
without adding great deal of improve
ment. But the law in Iowa has been
changed and it must be accepted as it
is, and voted in the manner in which
it is intended to be voted. Sample
ballots will be distributed in plenty Of
time before the election and anyone
who is not certain as to howsthe mark
ing should be done oughttto take the
precaution to consult some one who is
informed on the situation. A moments
time given to 1t will set every man
right without difficulty.

point that newspaper reading blurs all
mental impressions, rather than pro-
duces them by unwholesome means.
Its last estate, he thinks, is an i'm
paired memory and perceptions. The
newspaper reader skips from headline
to headline, from article to article, and
the result Is not an orderly array of I'M
pressions but one of extreme disorder:
"a stream Of facts widely ASSOCIATED,
an incoherent medley of conceptions
which must, in the nature Of things,
gradually wear out the power of the
brain-cells to take impressions them
selves unstable and diminish the fac
ulty of the tissues for permanent re-
gistration."
We begin, says DR.. Peterson, to "cul-
tivate the art Of forgetting" He call
culates that the reading center of the
brain possesses about 500,O00,00O cells,
which in a lifetime of sixty years
would allow us about $4,000 cells
daily for the perception and converse
ton of words and sentences read" Too
much newspaper reading squanders
cells which ought to be reserved for
literature, history, science, art
On the other side we have Sir James
Crichton-Browne, the British authority
maintain that the newspaper is bull
wark of sanity.
at is the antidote to corroding ego
tism, and gives world wide horizon
to the purblind and shortsighted. 1t is
real and earnest in its tragedy and
comedy, while the novel is only make
believe. 1t supplies snacks of bio
graphy in the form of gossip 1t manu-
features heroes by the dozen. and 1t
furnishes an easily digestible intellec-
tual palladium. Many man has been
saved from melancholy and faulty by
his daily paper Suppress your news
papers, and you will have to enlarge
your lunatic asylums."
What, then, Is the conclusion of the
whole matter? We do not know that
1t is necessary to draw conclusion.
There is enough truth in each of
these opinions to ponder over. The
newspaper certainly rescues some men
from melancholia-and insomnia-and
as certainly adde's the brains of other
men. 1t is so pervading and para
mount fact, however, that to de-
nounce 1t or to praise it is like de-
nouncing or praising the weather. We
prefer to liken 1t to life itself, of which
it Is the daily record, and which exer-
cises the faculties OF some men, while
it is meat too strong for others. To
negotiate life with success and benefit,
it is necessary to have some philoso-
ply, some standard OF conduct. So
with the daily newspaper, which is a
stone Of stumbling; or means of
growth and grace, according to the
reader himself.
