PITY TITS
TRUE.

One of the leading journals of the
country says: 'rhe highest financial
rewards of politics are no longer
offices, but contracts, franchises and
special privileges"
Another great journal says: "The
cheap rewards of political place count
for little now in political manoeuvres.
The boss is no longer the man who
distributes patronage The real
boss is the railroad man, the traction
man, the insurance man, the man
who is willing to contribute enormous
sums to the campaign fund, if only
his own interests be left safe or his
new projects be aided"
''Protection' which means favori-
tism, is the price paid by officials,
high and low, in return for contribu-
tions. The corporations pay tribute
to the party in power; and the party
in power gives the corporations the
privilege of plundering the people
with impurity. Protection" in the
form of high tariffs, franchises, false
certificates like those give to the beef
trust, and immunity from punish
ment for crimes, is the policy now.

SERMON AGAINST
GREEDINESS.

Alfred Belt was so busy making
money that he took no time to mar.
ry, though some twelve or fifteen
years ago it seems that he came SC
near to it as to have his life insured
for the benefit of Elizabeth Bennett,
whom he described as about to become
his wife. But she does not seem to
have done so. He may have forgot
ten about his intention, being too en-
crossed in his accumulation to think
about it. He was living strenuous
life at that time, having become en-
gagged with Cecil Rhodes in the pro-
ject for cornering the diamond market,
which is said to have left Bet the
richest man in the world, unless our
Rockefeller matches him in the pro-
duet of his petroleum corner.
These two men illustrate how much
maybe done in the way of money ac-
emulation without Il conscience and
with endless assurance. Neither was
of any account in any other way, but
in this they We're supremely eminent,
because of the opportunity they seized
to control a natural product and milk
it. One is not enjoying life greatly
now through physical infmity, and
the other has ceased to live; the SER
mon against greediness that their
lives teach is profit that the world

REAL TRUST
BUSTING.

After thinking over the Republican
attempts at trust-busting, mostly stage
plays, can you point to one trust that
has reduced the price of its products
in consequence of Republican activity?
Results are what the tariff taxed pub
lie are looking for, but the record
shows that the cost Of living is now
IS per cent. higher than it was before
the present Republican tariff law was
enacted. The fact is that not only
must the laws against trusts be en-
forced, but their monopoly and speci-
al advantages must be destroyed. 1t
is absurd that such trust as the
United States Steel corporation, that
controls nine-tenths of all steel pro-
ducts of the country and that has been
proved to be selling its products cheap
er abroad than here, should be con-
tinued in its monopoly by the tariff
law. That gigantic corporation, by
far greater than any of its sister
cannot take refuge as an "infant in
dustry" that needs protecting. 1t
may not be policy to take the chances
of disturbing the steel business by at
once abolishing all its protection, but
cutting off one half of its tariff pro-
lection will be one of the first propo-
sitions of Democratic House of Re-
presentatives. That would be a start
at real trust busting.

THE GHOULISHl
COFFIN TRUST.

OF all the trusts the ghouls of the
coffin trust are the most despicable.
They prey upon the poor in the hour
Of their grief when the savings have
been depleted by the enforced non
earning power of the bread winner.
The cheap box, called a coffin, with
its tawdry trappings that cost but a
trifle is sold for a sum that represents
weeks Of labor. This coffin trust is
protected by the Republican tariff
from competition by an import duty
of 80 per cent, under the paragraph
in the tariff law of manufactures of
wood not specially provided for. Thus
the Republican standpatters have
made the government the partner and
protector of this ghoulish trust which
adds to the misery of the bereaved
ones by the imposition of a tax upon
necessity when least able to bear
it.
One of the first duties of Demo-
cratic Congress will be to amend the
tariff law by putting cofiins and cask-
cts upon the free list.

Don't Rake the Lawn.

Some persons advise raking after
each moving. | do not, because the
clippings drop down into the grass
and form a mulch which consider OF
great benefit. They also help to fer.
tilize the soil. The lawn that is not
moved often enough will not look
well, after you have been over it with
the mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward
upon which it falls. This will wither
and turn brown in day or two and
greatly detract from the beauty of the
lawn. But if you keep your lawn
well moved the amount clipped off at
each moving will be so slight that
there will not be enough of it to
show.
Do not set the knives so low that
they shave the soil. This practice
will soon spoil lawn, as it interfercs
with the crown of the grass plants. 1t
clips away the blades of grass which
spring from the surface, and destroys
all that part of the plant upon which
we must depend for color and soft,
plush-like effect. Let the blades be
set high enough to leave at least two
inches Of the foliage. Farm News.

Write IL Down.

Put every business agreement in
writing and never pay bill without
taking receipt for it. This may
save serious misunderstanding and an
infinite amount Of trouble. Mems
memories are treacherous, but writ
ing does not change. Whenever you
hire man put down the date and
terms in your note book and if you
buy or sell an animal with warranty
write down the exact words and have
them signed. This is a protection
which anyone can i'll afford to neglect.
1t is not doubling mans word to
ask him to put it in writing; it is only
protecting yourself so that your part
ner, wife, children or administrator
could attend to your business affairs
with clearer understanding and bet
ter results if the necessity should
arise.

A CITY
| ARGUMENT.

Just now the publishers of the city
papers are very solicitous of the farm
er and are saying many good things
about him. We clipped the following
from the alleged "funny" department
of one Of these city dailies:
GA person, arguing that late sleep
ers are healthier, wealthier, and wiser
than early risers, advances the follow
ing: Long ago some one wrote:
early to bed, early to rise, makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise The
farmer is the type of the man who
lives exactly according to that rule.
Census returns show that the farmer
is not healthy. Statistical reports on
mortgages show that the farmer is not
wealthy. Every circus CRATER, pat
ent medicine faker, get-rich quick ad-
vertiser and green goods man in the
country will testify that the farmer is
not wise"
These city editors who would scarce
ly know how to hitch to a plow or
identify hay tedder or manure
spIeader if they saw one, have plenty
of time to poke fun at the farmer and
to publish glaring acc unts under
scare headings when Il chance one is
taken in by some trickster, but they
never have space to publish the news
about towns-people being gold-bricked
every day. If they wish to cast re-
Election upon townsman he is referr-
ed to as Il farmer. 1t is time these
city popinjays were learning there is
as much honest intelligence among
country people as among those of the
city.

A REPUBLICAN
PREDICTION.

That erudite and trust controlled
Republican purveyor of news, the
New York Sun, in a late issue says:
"The Sun Graves permission to
present its humble service to the su-
preme powers at Oyster Bay, to
Messrs. Plat and Depew, to the new
and austere hierarchy of Odell and
Associates, to one Frank Wayland
Higgins, the putative Governor of
the State of New York, and to all
the sober-minded and self-respecting
Republicans to whose confidence it
can appeal, and with all Difference and
respect submits:
"The next Governor of the State
of New York will be Democrat.
"The next Governor of the State of
New York will be the next President
of the United States"
Yet after all the Sun may be mis-
taken and the next governor of New
York may not be the next president
Of the United States. But its predic-
ton shows the Democratic trend of
public opinion and that even Repub-
licans see the probable downfall of the
party Of trusts, protection, graft and
scandals.

Stay on the Farm,

Boys are not leaving the farm now
as they did in the hard times years
ago. They are wise, says the editor
of a leading agricultural weekly. Out
of twenty who were boys with me on
the farms of our neighborhood, just
ten sought the city, one of whom is
rich in money but poor ir all else,
one is comfortably fixed, three make
Il living, two are hard up most of the
time, two are no good, and one is in
states prison. Of the ten who are
farmers two are relatively rich, five
are well fixed, two are having hard
struggle because they weren't cut out
for farmers, one is a ne'er-do- well.
Crediting at its true worth what these
men and their families have gotten
out of life, in addition to money, and
the showing is heavily on the side of
the farm.

Brother McHenry for Congress.

For one of the younger men in
Grange work, Brother John G. Nc
Henry, of Benton, Columbia County,
has attained wide acquance and a
host of friends in the Order. All over
the State they will be glad to learn
that he is so popular at home as to be
accorded the nomination for Congress
in his District without opposition in
any county. We hope to chronicle
his election later. Men of his broad

life, are badly needed in our national
life just now. The farmers and labor
ing men would have in him an able

AND STILL
ANOTHER CONFERENCE

Much favorable comment on the
iudgeship article of the Intelligencer
of last week was heard throughout the
District, even the Philadelphia papers
taking it up and discussing it to some
extent.
Wednesday afternoon another con-
ference was held at Bloomsbury but
the conferees came no closer to an un-
derstanding than they did at the two
previous meetings
Republican papers and friends of
Judge Evans are endeavoring to
create a feeling toward compromising,
but their proposition doesn't go down
with true Jefersonian Democracy.
Go out of the District and pick up
any old machine man of the corpora
ton type and have the two aspirants
withdraw so that Evans will have a
princely walk-over, is their grand CD
compromise, but it don't go.
There is still some time for the con.
ferees to have several meetings and
have good time at the expense oI
the candidates, but in the near future
something will be done for the gooC
of the party-the sooner the better.
If it is possible for two candidate
of the same party to run for the same
Office, why is it that such great figh
is made for the nomination and Sc

the contest for the nomination, be

Read This to Your Child.

The average educated man gets
$1,000 per year. He works forty
years, making total of $40, 600 in a
lifetime. The average day laborer
gets s1.50 per day, 300 days in the
year. or $3.50 per year. In ten years
he earns 81, 500, or S1S, 600 in life
time. The difference between $40, :
600 and $1S, 600, or s22, 900, equals
the value of an education in dollars.
To acquire this earning capacity re-
quires twelve years of school of 1S0
days each, or total of 2, 100 days.
Divide s22, 1000, value of an educa-
ton, by 2,16O, number of days re-
quired in getting it, and we find that
each day at school is worth little
more than $40 to the pupil.

THE "DOTAGE'
| MICROBE.

Oregon has been the storm center
of land frauds. One of her Republi-
can Senators and both of her Repub-
lican representatives in Congress, be-
sides United States Surveyor general
and many other federal officials, have
been implicated and have either met
their just desserts or are in fair way
to do so. Now comes the only MEM
Der of Congress from that State that
the law has not entangled-- Senator
| Fulton, who declares that Secretary
Hitchcock, who to his credit has re-
lentlessly prosecuted the land thieves,
sis in his dotage.' If Secretary
Wilson had shown the same efficient
"dotage" there would have been no
beef, cotton and seed scandals. If
Secretary Taft had exhibited a similar
brand of "dotage" there would have
been no Panama Scandal and matters
in the Philippines and Porto Rico
would be in better condition instead
of being a disgrace to American man
agement. If Secretary Root had
shown the same patriotic "dotage'
the Santo Domingo and Venezuela
scandals would never have occurred.
I If Secretary Moody had exhibited the
intense "dotage" that his older as
sociate has exhibited, there would be
a large bunch of Trust magnates tt

A POLICE
COURT SOLOMON.

In the presence of a dignifed mag
istrate, and within the thronged pre-
cincts of hall of justice, eight wo-
men advanced in obedience to the
summons of court official, who sup
piled each of them with a stout rod,
and then pointed to eight lads who
stood awaiting punishment, and who
straightway received it.
This scene was not enacted in some
remote city Of the fabled East, where
justice is even yet patterned upon the
simple plan found in the pages of the
"Arabian Nights" but in a police
court of Ithaca, N. Y, whittier the
eight mothers and their errant sons
had been summoned upon evidence
that the boys had been robbing cars.
Five dollar fines would otherwise have
been imposed, but the chief of police
wisely considered that the parents,
who were poor, would have to supply
the funds, and that while they would
not then be likely to spare the rod the
lads might be more thoroughly pun
ished if he should remit the fines and
see the whaling personally administer
ed. He would see that each mother
neither spared the rod nor spoiled the
child.
As a return to first principles and
primitive custom there is something
bracing about that Ithaca incident,
but it must be pointed out that it is
both impolitic and impossible to re-
lieve parents of the punishment that
comes to them also for the wrong-do-
ing of their children. There is no
stronger deterrent force against wrong
doing than the realization Of the pain
and trouble that it must bring to the
parent, assuming that parental duties
and kindnesses have not been neglect
ed and that natural affection prevails.
But these are the days of smart yellow
kids and of parents too busy to be
bothered. If we are to go back to
primitive justice we must also 90 back
to primitive rules of life and its duties,
and round out the simple life with the
rearing of good old.fashioned chill
dren.

Good Work Counts.

Good work should be the motto of
young people. Some of you have
learned the value of good work very
young. A judge living in one of our
eastern cities tells the following story:
He had occasion to send to vii
lage for carpenter, and n sturdy
young fellow appeared with his tools.
81 want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some un-
planed boards-use them. 1t is out
of sight from the house, so You need
not take time to make it neat
job. | will only pay you dollar
and half"
The Judge went to dinner, and,
coming out, found the man carefully
planning each board. Supposing he
was trying to make costly job of it,
he ordered him to nail them on at
once just as they were, and continued
his walk. When he returned the
boards were all planed and number.
ed ready for mailing.
81 told you this fence was to be
covered with vines" he said angrily;
81 do not care how it looks"
81 do" said the carpenter, gruffly,
carefully measuring his work. When
it was finished there was no part of
the fence so thorough in finish.
"How much do you charge ?" ask
ed the Judge.
ga dollar and half" said the
young man, shouldering his tools.
The Judge stared. "Why did you
spend all that time and labor on the
job if not for the money? ?"
"For the job, sir"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work" "
"'But | should have known it was
there. No, | will take only a dollar
and a half" and he took it and went
away.
Several years afterward the Judge
had Il contract to give for the build
ing Of several magnificent public
buildings. There were many appli-
cants among master builders, but the
face of one caught his eye.
"It was my man of the fence" he
said. 81 knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him; | gave
him the contract and it made a rich
man of him."
ct is pity that our children are
not taught in their earliest years that
the highest success belongs only to
the man, be he carpenter, farmer,
author, or artist, whose work is most
sincerely or thoroughly done"
